Chapter 481 Formation of the Lineup (Third Update!)

The fans on the sidelines were restless.

Whiteside's ability to seize opportunities is obviously much better than Evans.

After landing on the ground, Whiteside raised his head excitedly and let out a loud cry.

It can be regarded as suffocating him!

In the Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki turned and the golden rooster missed independently, and the ball bounced out of the basket as a long rebound.

Dalembert grabbed the offensive rebound and turned around to attack the frame.

"boom!"

Whiteside took advantage of his bullet speed, hit a big cap on the front, and flew the fan out of the field!

This block showed his physical talent to the fullest, which greatly boosted morale.

The Pelicans bench was seething.

This kind of volleyball-style big hat is rare, and the improvement in momentum is visible to the naked eye.

The Mavericks sent a sideline ball and made a mistake in coordination, which was directly intercepted by the Pelicans.

Carlisle put his hand to his forehead on the sidelines.

However, the Mavericks retreated quite quickly, and the Pelicans failed to turn their counterattack.

Tang Tian continued to be double-teamed, and he hit Whiteside again.

The Mavericks have the same defensive strategy, but Carlisle is yelling on the sidelines, and they have adjusted their rotation.

Nowitzki, closest to the basket, rotates to the basket.

Carlisle's reaction is really fast, Whiteside can dunk, but his passing ability is not good.

Carlisle's judgment was correct, but Whiteside didn't even think about passing the ball after receiving the ball. He took two steps and jumped directly across Nowitzki.

The old driver was not strong in confrontation, and became weaker when he was old, so he didn't have time to take off.

"Boom!"

Whiteside forced the ball into the basket across Nowitzki!

The fans at the scene were dumbfounded.

Whiteside is really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, and the bullet speed is really fast!

These are the five best goals of the day!

After landing, Whiteside roared at the fans on the sidelines. After the roar, he turned around and gave Tang Tian a high five, happy like a child.

Considering his bad brain, he is actually a child now.

Hit him when he does something wrong, give him a candy, and he will be very happy.

Tang Tian has unknowingly become the head of the family again.

But this parent is not bad.

As long as Whiteside can play like this, his upper limit must be higher than Evans.

But just as Tang Tian was happy, Whiteside turned around and sent his second personal foul...

He still has a long way to go.

Calderon made two free throws and continued to add points for the Mavericks.

Whiteside's foul control did not happen overnight, but the good news is that his continuous strong attacks on the offensive end made Carlisle dare not double-team Tang Tian as brazenly as before.

Tang Tian beat old Marion one-on-one, and started his personal scoring show again.

A breakthrough layup that changes from front to back.

Emergency stop and dry pull after changing direction in advance.

A breakthrough after changing direction ahead of time draws a foul.

...

After having a low body dribble, his ability to score in one-on-one possessions is significantly better.

In the end, Whiteside made another surprise attack, allowing the Pelicans to beat the Mavericks 103 to 96 and win the card battle.

Tang Tian scored 33 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, continuing to consolidate his position as the leading scorer.

Whiteside performed well this time, playing the longest 20 minutes of the season, contributing 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 5 fouls.

He was fed very comfortably by Tang Tian tonight.

Smith's injury gave Whiteside a chance, and he took it.

This game is enough for the Pelicans to think about keeping him.

Two days later, the Pelicans finally returned home after a long away game.

Their opponent on this day is the Kings.

Since the disintegration of the gorgeous Princeton team, the Kings have been a million years old.

This is the best opponent the Pelicans have played in the recent schedule.

After the game started, it was about the same as expected. The Kings had no lineup of Cousins, Thomas Jr. and Gay, but they played really badly.

Especially Cousins, who got a technical foul within a few fights with Evans.

When they entered the rotation, they were almost 10 points behind the Pelicans.

Seeing that it was garbage time again, the people who stood up from the Kings were unexpected.

It was Derek Williams, who had just been traded by the Timberwolves.

He and Tang Tian really have a predestined relationship.

But this time Tang Tian didn't need to play, and Whiteside went up here and gave him two big hats in a row, making him lose himself again.

Sure enough, it's different with a younger brother, and I don't have to do it myself.

The Pelicans finally defeated the Kings 106 to 88, ushering in a wave of two consecutive victories.

Tang Tian scored a steady 22 points in the three quarters and missed the garbage time in the last quarter.

Whiteside played particularly eye-catching this time. He played 25 minutes, scored the first double-double of his career with 13 points and 11 rebounds, and also sent 4 blocked shots.

Although some data was refreshed in the garbage time in the end, this performance is good enough.

After the post-match handshake ceremony, the players all went back to the locker room one after another, but he was the only one sitting on the sidelines with his head wrapped in a towel, looking a bit emotionally uncontrollable.

This game is just an ordinary regular season for others, but it means a lot to him.

Because the Kings were his old owner, and the team was in disarray, plus he was finally cut.

This old master is obviously not the one he wants to be grateful for, but the one he wants to take revenge on.

He did it tonight.

Tang Tian was also about to go back to the locker room. Seeing Whiteside's state, he reached out and patted his head to encourage him.

In fact, don't tell me, this kind of head touching is really a good way to encourage people.

Whiteside has played better than the last two games, and this performance finally won him a contract.

After two 10-day short contracts expired, the Pelicans and Whiteside signed a two-year contract.

The first year of this contract is fully guaranteed until the end of the season, and the second year is non-guaranteed.

After playing two games, he got a guaranteed contract. For a player who has not performed much in the NBA, the Pelicans have given enough attention.

Whiteside was also very happy after signing the contract, and invited Tang Tian to dinner that day.

He has a bad mind, but he is not a bad person. Tang Tian's previous patience was worth it.

Although there were some twists and turns, Whiteside managed to stay on the team.

With him staying on the team, the Pelicans' rotation has basically been finalized.

At the beginning of the season, the Pelicans started with Holiday + Gordon + Tang Tian + Anderson + Davis. The core rotation was Jason Smith, Reeves Jr., Morrow and Aminu.

But in the past three quarters of the season, there have been very big changes in trades, signings, and those who have fallen out of the rotation.

The current starters Holiday + Tang Tian + Aminu + Davis + Reggie Evans, the core rotation is Cole, Gordon, Morrow, Anderson and Whiteside.

This is also the final rotation lineup for the Pelicans to hit the playoffs.
