The Godfather of Basketball

The ball was blocked, but it still reached the outside Beasley's hands. Beasley took the ball straight to the basket and made a layup with a low hand.

Whiteside turned and jumped again.

His bullet speed is really fast!

And with a height of 2.13 meters, his wingspan reached a terrifying 2.31 meters!

Amazing defensive coverage!

Beasley was blocked out of the shadows, and the ball chose a difficult defensive layup with a lever in the air.

However, this ball was too difficult for him. After the ball was shot, the board and the frame did not touch it, and it was a bridge.

Whiteside grabbed the defensive rebound directly after landing.

His performance after this period of playing is quite good.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stretched out his hand to call Whiteside to come out and play a pick-and-roll, and after splitting it, he suddenly gave it to Stephenson on the outside, who made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Still not going in.

The Cavaliers made 0 of 4 shots from outside the three-point line tonight, feeling cold.

Anthony stuck Whiteside, and Haslem turned around to collect the defensive rebound.

But at this moment, Anthony felt a light in front of him.

Whiteside turned away from Anthony, grabbed the offensive rebound directly in front of Haslem.

Before Haslem turned around, he directly scored a quick layup.

The Heat's offense, Beasley's emergency stop jumper missed, and Whiteside received a defensive rebound.

It can be clearly felt that after consecutive blocks, the Heat did not dare to hit the basket casually.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, found Whiteside's pick-and-roll, and when he broke into the free throw line, the Heat directly chose to double-team the ball holder.

At this moment, Whiteside turned around and walked towards the basket, pointing directly at the sky.

Jeremy Lin has a good ball IQ, throwing the ball into the air before the double-team is in place.

The pass was a bit off and a bit early.

Whiteside took the lead, using his bounce speed and wingspan to catch the ball in the air. After a short gliding, he hooked his legs and slammed the ball directly into the basket.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the entire American Airlines Arena was in commotion.

"Oh my God!"

Even the commentator at home could not stand the exclamation.

The heaven-defying feeling of this empty catch seems to be another Dwight Howard!

Tang Tian laughed at this moment.

As for Whiteside, it seemed that last season in the Cavaliers basically didn't have many chances to play, but in fact, Tang Tian knew that Brown probably wouldn't be able to keep Brown this season, so the training and training for him off the court were doubled, and what he wanted was him. In the new season, there will be immediate combat power.

Although it is only a preseason game, judging from Whiteside's performance, he has a strong sense of presence on both ends of the offense and defense. If this performance is maintained, it will not be a big problem to play Yao Ming's first substitute in the new season.

Just thinking about it, Whiteside was fouled twice by Haslem and Beasley at the basket.

This is also a problem with bouncing insiders.

"Don't keep thinking about blocking shots, just stop your opponent from scoring. If there is one more foul, I will replace you!"

Tang Tian got up and walked to the sidelines, shouting at Whiteside.

Whiteside nodded after hearing this. He was arrogant, but he was very convinced by Tang Tian.

The Heat sent the frontcourt ball, and Chalmers continued to break through the basket.

Whiteside's two consecutive fouls also allowed the Heat to find the weakness of this powerful insider.

Chalmers broke through to the blue bottom and was not in a hurry to make a shot, relying on Whiteside to find a confrontation and foul.

Whiteside raised his hands without pressing down, Chalmers threw the ball straight up and down before landing, and directly threw an air ball.

After Whiteside hit the ground, he stood up and took the ball that landed.

This is directly counted as a steal!

Tang Tian nodded in satisfaction, then retreated to the bench and sat down.

Whiteside has a good learning ability and is obedient. He definitely has a place in the Cavaliers' future plans.

89 to 71, the Cavaliers played a defensive victory on the road.

Jeremy Lin scored a team-high 16 points and 6 assists. Varejao also played well in the fourth position in the second half, and finally scored 8 points and 7 rebounds. Isaiah Thomas and Frye, who came off the bench, also scored two points. number.

But the best performer was the sophomore Whiteside, who played 25 minutes and contributed 10 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, and what the data did not reflect was his defensive deterrence at the basket.

After two days of rest, the Cavaliers played at home against the Knicks. Whiteside once again played efficiently against the inside combination of Jared Jeffries and Josh Harrelson, contributing 16 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks in 30 minutes excellent data.

After two games, the Cavaliers' preseason game has come to an end.

Compared to other players, Whiteside is the team's biggest surprise.

Through these two games, the Cavaliers' internal rotation has basically been determined. Whiteside will be Yao Ming's first substitute, and Varejao will be Artest's substitute, appearing more in the fourth position.

After finishing the preseason and resting for about three days, the regular season of the 2011-2012 season officially kicked off.

The Cavaliers also ushered in the home opener, their opponent is the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder's lineup for the new season is exactly the same as last season. The only improvement is their tacit understanding. After reaching the Western Conference Finals last year, they are also considered to be the team most likely to challenge the Cavaliers in the new season.

Let the Cavaliers face the Thunder in the opening game. After the league has experienced a lockout, they want to get off to a good start.

In fact, this game has also attracted much attention.

The Cavaliers have the Big Three, and the Thunder's lineup of Durant, Westbrook and Harden is not weak, let alone the "fourth youngest" Ibaka.

The Quicken Loans Arena for the opening game was also packed.

Before the start of the game, the awarding ceremony of the championship ring was held on the spot.

The shortened season has affected many things, but the championship ring, just like the communication between Tang Tian and Gilbert after winning the championship, has been customized long ago.

This time it's not just Cleveland's letter C, but the entire ring is filled with rubies, and then inlaid with diamonds all around, the red and white are even more dazzling.

According to pre-match media reports, the cost of this ring was higher than last year. While Gilbert earned a lot of gold and silver, he did not hesitate to spend money on this aspect.

Tang Tian also received his fifth championship ring after entering the NBA.

According to this momentum, it won't be long before he surpasses Russell and becomes the "Lord of the Rings" of the new generation of NBA, and it's still the coach version.

The ring awarding ceremony was over, and the championship flag was raised immediately at the scene.

It was also Cleveland's second championship banner.

The fans at the scene were extremely excited. Although the number of championships is less than that of Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and even Houston, looking at the history of the NBA, it is absolutely rare that two championships or more can be counted with two hands. Not to mention a small town like them.
