Sports Supervillain
73. Bulldozer Mode
Whiteside's NBA journey can be described as full of magic.
After being selected by the Kings in 2010, he basically had no ball to play, and then went to the Development League to play for the Vipers of the NBDL, but still failed to play, and then went to China to develop in the NBL.
Signed and waived by the Grizzlies after that, signed and waived.
In the end, Riley brought him to Miami with a 2-year contract of 1.75 million.
He finally shined brightly. In the game against the Nets on January 5, he got a career-high 5 blocks, and then, just like Linsanity at the beginning, he was out of control.
A large double-double of 20 points + 15 rebounds, a terrifying triple-double of 14 points, 13 rebounds and 12 blocks, 14 rebounds in a single quarter, a super-large double-double of 20 + 20, and a single-game high of 29 rebounds.
Let him become the hottest player in early 2015.
If he is an Asian player, the whirlwind he set off is not weaker than Lin Crazy.
In the new season, he has firmly secured the position of the Heat's starting center, and his statistics have soared again. Since the start of the game, he has averaged 3.68 blocks per game, ranking second in the league.
Ahead of him is Ye Fei, averaging 6.67 blocks per game.
Whiteside is not an ordinary person. In an interview, he made it clear that blocking shots is not a criterion to prove whether an inside player is good, and he does not recognize Ye Fei's shot-blocking ability. In his heart, he is the real shot-blocking king. ,He will also tell Ye Fei what is a real shot-blocker in today's game.
Ye Fei's response was simple and rude.
"When you can average more than 6 blocks per game, come and discuss with me who is the real king of blocks.
What's more, currently blocking shots is not something he is interested in.
What he wants to do is to hold the ball like a bulldozer, rush towards the opponent's inside line and wreak havoc on the basket.
After the game started, Ye Fei was still sitting on the sidelines as a substitute player, and the Lakers started the inside combination, still Hibbert and Randall.
Sometimes I really don’t understand what’s going on in Scott’s mind. Hibbert is only tall now, and he can only grab rebounds on the court. .
Even if Ye Fei is not allowed to start, it is a good thing to train young players.
But this pig-headed Scott, always stubbornly dispatched this starting lineup, and never thought of changing the lineup.
This combination of inside lanes is really bad. After the match started, it proved once again that the inside lanes of the two partners can't defend their opponents at all.
Even the Knicks insiders can bully Randall and Hibbert.
Not to mention the Heat's two starting inside players, the rise of Whiteside needless to say, Chris Bosh's strength is even higher than him, regardless of his tepid play, the championship seems to be embraced Wade, James' thighs, and even Ray Allen's presence is stronger than him.
But don't underestimate him, once the king of the North, the all-star inside player "Dragon~.King" Bosh.
With comprehensive skills and experience, facing young players like Randall, he still has an absolute advantage in height, and he has succeeded in attacking inside again and again.
The young Whiteside is full of energy and has excellent offense and defense.
Constantly attacking the Lakers' inside line, grabbing rebounds, making strong second offenses, and ruthless big caps are simply omnipotent. The Heat's combination of new and old insiders has overwhelmed the young people.
Bryant also missed the game due to injury. Derek Williams fouled in the last game, which did not cause Kobe Bryant a new injury, but caused him to relapse from an old injury. It is expected that he will be sidelined for about two weeks.
It was Artest who replaced him in the starting game. His offensive ability was far from that of Kobe.
Therefore, the Lakers on the court were simply playing blindly, with no tactics at all, and whoever got the ball came by themselves.
Half of the game has not passed, the Lakers have been 10 points behind the Heat.
The eye-catching performance of Whiteside made TNT TV commentary guest Chris Webber highly praised.
"Hassan mentioned that after starting, his performance is getting better and better, his scoring has increased to 14.2 points, and his rebounds have also increased by almost two. With Chris, he will perform better and better. I feel that today's magical boy in China , It is estimated that I will be deflated here."
Before the game, there was a lot of discussion about the matchup between Ye Fei and Whiteside. After all, in Scott's system, Ye Fei has been promoted from the third and fourth players to the fifth position.
The two players have similar styles of play. Whitesett's scoring is more of a strong hit at the basket, a second offense, and an alley-oop. He is also a player waiting for his teammates to feed him, but his skills are more comprehensive. The defensive end is very strong, the ability to protect the frame is good, and the block is excellent.
The same is true for Ye Fei, but in people's eyes, his only advantage may be strength, and his skills are inferior to White Sai's in many aspects.
Therefore, not many people are optimistic that Ye Fei will win the matchup.
Smith on the side also thinks the same way: "々Hassan has a height advantage, and he won't suffer too much in strength. I also think he will have the advantage in the matchup. Without Bryant to attract the defense, Ye, he doesn't even have an alley-oop opportunity." would be too much."
Chris Webber laughed: "Then how many times do you think Ye will be blocked by Hassan in this game? 3 times, 4 times, or more? I think it will definitely not be less than 3 times, hahaha, Ye He's an overrated player who wouldn't do anything offensively without Bryant."
Foreign commentators don't like Ye Fei, and domestic commentators are also very worried.
Zhang Lili said: "Kobe's truce, the Lakers' outside offense is greatly reduced, the opponent's players shrink to the basket, with Bosh and Whiteside, two excellent inside defensive players, Ye Fei is not easy to play inside, I hope he can play Be reasonable, he has the ability to shoot three-pointers, I hope he can take advantage of the opportunity."
In the first six games of the Lakers, Ye Fei was able to play well. Everyone believed that Kobe attracted the defense, so Ye Fei had such a good opportunity at the basket.
Therefore, everyone didn't think that Ye Fei would perform too well in the face of Whiteside and Bosh, and would even return to his original shape and shoot three-pointers floating outside.
But when Ye Fei came on stage, everyone was surprised.
The first time he came up to attack, he went straight to the inside to get a position, obviously trying to force the inside.
Without Kobe, do you really think you can't score in the paint?
nonexistent!
Ye Fei is ready to turn on the bulldozer mode and crush the Heat's inside line.
Seeing that Ye Fei was about to block and attack, Whiteside stepped forward immediately: "If you want to play hard inside, you have no chance. I will wait for you in the air and present you with a ruthless cap. There is no Bryant to attract defense , you are a scumbag, rookie!".
