Chapter 582 Ha Crazy Second (First!)
In fact, Tang Tian didn't expect Whiteside to shout this.
But his brain reacted quickly, and he quickly knew what Whiteside meant.
Looking at Griffin's expression of resentment at himself, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.
This seems to be... a misunderstanding?
But misunderstanding or not doesn't seem to matter anymore. The two teams already have enough grievances, and it doesn't seem to matter if there is one more.
Not to mention, Whiteside's roar was full of momentum, and the morale of the players on the Pelicans soared.
The Clippers sent out a sideline ball, and Griffin continued to sit and beat Taylor Tovic.
Another layup after turning around.
Whiteside's reaction was very quick, and he raised his hand and posted it immediately.
His eyes were full of big houses, and he played very aggressively.
Griffin is the most famous insider in the NBA who bullies the weak and fears the strong. This time he confronted hard, his shot was obviously deformed.
"Boom!"
His shot strikes iron.
Jordan flew under the basket trying to grab an offensive rebound.
But at this moment, Whiteside had already turned around, his hand seemed to be able to suck the rebound, and he snatched the rebound before Jordan Jr.!
This reaction speed reflects his excellent competitive state, he really wants to defend against two!
"Five squares!"
And after taking the rebound, Whiteside continued to shout again.
The defense in these two rounds is very critical, not only in terms of score, but also in terms of momentum.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt again, because Teletovic made consecutive three-pointers, and the Clippers' defense obviously did not dare to shrink anymore.
Tang Tian turned to pass Barnes and broke into the inside line, Whiteside stuck Jordan to death, Tang Tian went in and directly dunked with a one-armed tomahawk.
"Boom!"
The ball was smashed hard into the basket.
The emotions of the audience were instantly ignited.
The Pelicans started off by beating the Clippers 8-0!
This kind of performance swept away the haze of the past three-game losing streak!
The faces of the Clippers players on the court were very ugly.
Davis' absence was originally a great opportunity for them, but they didn't expect it to become like this at the beginning of the game.
Their lineup has not changed much compared with last season. In this situation, the 58 tragedy of last season's playoffs almost immediately appeared in their minds.
This kind of psychological factor actually has a great influence.
Just like when the Rockets played against the Jazz during Yao Mai's period, they almost had a psychological shadow after the fight.
The Clippers have been 58 three times in three consecutive seasons, and they are just as bad.
Griffin continued to play Taylor Tovic in the low post, turned around and saw Whiteside coming to help defend again.
He didn't dare to play harder, but chose to pass the ball to Jordan under the basket.
Jordan was unprepared, and the ball went out of bounds without catching it. The Clippers made another mistake!
Rivers was already jumping in anger, but fortunately Paul yelled at his teammates on the field, and the Clippers prevented a wave of offense from the Pelicans.
In the next round, Griffin continued to play, turned around and encountered a help defense, and he threw the ball directly above the basket.
If the pass is not passed through, it will be empty.
They're the city of lobs!
"Five squares!"
"Snapped!"
With the shouts, Whiteside jumped up vigorously, and unexpectedly shot Griffin's pass!
It's a steal!
And the ball hit Tang Tian's hands directly from the outside line.
The Pelicans directly switched offense and defense, and Tang Tian assisted Ariza's fast break layup.
The Pelicans started 10-0!
Rivers could only call a timeout.
The cheers at the scene were overwhelming.
The Pelicans are really suffering from the Clippers!
Although the situation is not good after a wave of three consecutive losses, the game that deserves to be abused is still to be abused!
The Clippers came back from a timeout and Paul immediately played a ball, but Tang Tian quickly assisted Ariza to score a three-pointer.
In the second wave of the Clippers' offense, Redick's three-pointer was a three-pointer.
The unfavorable start has caused huge fluctuations in the mentality of the Clippers players.
This has also become the epitome of the whole game, even though Paul knew 58 and then surged, in the second half, with his own strength, he abruptly narrowed the score to single digits.
However, the steady performance of Whiteside and Tang Tian in the second half allowed the Pelicans to have the last laugh 106-96.
The Clippers sent a wave of warmth when the Pelicans were having trouble.
Paul scored a season-high 33 points and 11 assists, and Redick also scored 17 points.
But Griffin performed poorly and only scored 8 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and made 5 turnovers.
For the Pelicans, Tang Tian scored a team-high 29 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. Taylor Tovic and Trevor Ariza scored 12 points each, and Gordon scored 20 points from the bench.
Whiteside played bravely in this game. He almost hit two and contributed a triple-double of 12 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks!
This is his second triple-double of blocked shots this season!
His data also created a record.
He left behind Noah, Ibaka, McGee, Howard, and Hibbert, and became the only active player in the league who has completed a triple-double of blocked shots twice!
And this is within one season!
Tang Tian said to let Whiteside seize the opportunity to show his worth, and Whiteside has exceeded the requirements!
In the post-match press conference, Tang Tian also played Whiteside well.
"As long as his hand doesn't hurt, I don't mind if he gives his opponent some more hot pot."
"Now he should be remembered by opponents, fans and the media. His name is Hassan Whiteside. You can call him Whiteside."
Whiteside, the name of Whiteside, is separated into White.side, which means white side.
In order to let the fans remember him more deeply, Tang Tian helped him get his nickname in advance!
Speaking of last season, he suggested that Demps and Whiteside sign a few more years of contract because of consideration at the team level.
But after knowing Whiteside's personal situation, he is now sparing no effort to win a big contract for Whiteside.
The press conference ended, and the media coverage of Whiteside after the game was overwhelming.
"He is a legend tonight, and he created a triple-double record for active players!"
"He beat Griffin, he is the lowest paid and high-powered player in the league!"
"He shines in New Orleans tonight, let's remember his name, Whiteside!"
...
Media reports were overwhelming, and Whiteside's triple-double performance coupled with Tang Tian's post-match press conference made him stand out.
Fans are also talking about it on social media.
"Davis's injury is not a loss. When he comes back, the inside line of the Pelicans will become a nightmare for all opponents!"
"Centers are treasures in the era of small balls. The Pelicans definitely found a treasure, and it's so cheap!"
"Hassan, Harden, this is Ha Crazy Second!"
...
Counting this block triple-double is not the first time for Whiteside.
The reason why there was such a big response this time was because the target was the Clippers.
The Clippers ranked fourth in the fiercely competitive Western Conference this season. They are a real championship team, which is completely different from the big teams like the Heat before.
The triple-double block before was suspected of brushing, but this time there is no water at all!
