After halftime, the Pelicans led the Heat 56-33.
The defending champion was defeated.
During the intermission, Spoelstra was sitting in the coach's office, a little autistic.
You know, last season, he just led the team to win the championship, but now he is hung up by the Pelicans.
This is really 30 years Hedong 30 years Hexi.
He took out the technical statistics and looked up.
Without Bosh and James, the Heat's scoring became very difficult. The entire first half shot only 30%, and Wade, the highest scoring, had 12 points.
With the Pelicans, Tang Tian only contributed 12 points in the first half, but the two inside performances were eye-catching.
Whiteside had 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. Davis had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks.
This is the feeling of playing the Pelicans Big Three.
He looked for a long time.
Although he himself knows that the Heat will have a difficult time in the playoffs this season, but he is still unwilling to win the championship.
He finally set his sights on Whiteside.
Whiteside made only two fouls in the first half, which is very different from last season and even the first game.
This is the point that can be used.
At this time, assistant coach Fitzdale just knocked in.
"David, we do."
He greeted Fitzdale and came over to discuss the tactical adjustments in the second half.
Back at halftime, the Heat's lineup has been adjusted, and Sean Williams replaced Ennis as the starting small forward.
The mood of the fans on the scene has dropped compared to the first half, after all, they have rested for 15 minutes.
The Heat came back in the second half.
After Chalmers gave the ball to Wade, he motioned for space.
After pulling away, Anderson mentioned pick-and-roll outside the three-point line.
Wade faced Whiteside after disassembling.
The Flash stepped up to the hoop and kicked off Whiteside's layup.
In the Pelicans 'offense, Tang Tian shakes up Williams' advance and also advances.
Williams is a space forward and his defense is much weaker than Ennis.
However, Spoelstra did not pay attention to the sidelines, but just motioned for Qian Moos to pay attention to defense.
When the Heat reached the frontcourt, Anderson continued to screen for Wade from the 3-point line. Wade continued to misplace Whiteside.
Tang Tian was pulled to the far end by Williams, and at this time he could not help but glance at Spoelstra.
The tactical intent is obvious. To play Whiteside, it should be possible to foul him.
Sure enough, Wade waited for Whiteside after this breakthrough and then shot.
"boom!"
What was unexpected was that Whiteside gave Wade another big hat!
Cheers and whistles violently broke out at the scene.
The Pelicans really don't want them to rest!
Whiteside harvested his fifth blocked shot and took a "powerful" posture.
Dedicated and refined, he has only practiced defensive and controlling fouls this past offseason, which has allowed him to make rapid progress in this area.
As for the opener's foul problem, he is too anxious to prove himself.
Wade shook his head after he was covered, and his knees became more and more important to him.
The Heat's sideline ball was sent out, Wade broke through and saw Whiteside chasing, then turned back to follow up with Mike Roberts.
McRoberts takes a shot.
But Whiteside had turned around, and the two had confrontation in the air.
"boom!"
Whiteside relied on his wingspan and fanned his shot back.
Whiteside blocked the sixth time in this game!
A new high in my career!
After the ball was covered by Ariza, the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.
Tang Tian received the ball in the frontcourt, jumped one step from the free throw line, shoved Chamos in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
The emotions of the fans on the scene reached the peak again!
Spoelstra stood idly on the sidelines.
His tactical adjustment failed, and Whiteside's ability to control fouls has become significantly stronger. Such a hard fight is a pass.
Chalmers threw the ball in the frontcourt and was spotted by Whiteside. The latter blocked his seventh block in the game and proved that the Heat's tactical adjustment was a complete failure.
However, Spoelstra's hand this season is just like that. He became the second woman after Carlisle and watched the Heat's defeat.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the defending champions, the Heat, 106-84 in the home opener, achieving two consecutive victories since the start of the game.
Wade had the Heat's highest 22 points, but was still unable to return.
On the Pelicans side, Davis had 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks. Tang Tian had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Hollodi and Ariza scored 13 points each.
Whiteside performed bravely and contributed 10 points, 12 rebounds and 11 blocks in a triple-double.
Three double blocks!
He became the first player in the history of the Pelicans to unlock this achievement!
After the game, Whiteside was interviewed by side reporters on the sidelines.
He looks very excited.
After spending an offseason, he finally hit his value.
And this performance is also the best response to the media's performance to him.
Tang Tian was chatting with NCAA brother Napier at this time, and the disintegration of the Heat's Big Three gave the latter a chance.
As a rookie at the end of the first round, he got 22 minutes of playing time and also scored 10 points and 3 assists. He performed well.
Just then he glanced at Davis as he walked towards Whiteside.
He turned his head curiously.
Then Davis smirked and whispered behind Whiteside.
then.
"Snapped!"
Slap on Whiteside's ass.
Whiteside was talking so vigorously that he was photographed and turned back abruptly.
When he saw it was Davis, he immediately laughed and chatted a few words.
The relationship between the two was very good, and Whiteside didn't seem to care about being shot on the hip.
Tang Tian shook his head with a bitter smile at this time.
Davis, this guy is so bad!
I used to shoot him, now I'm shooting Whiteside. This is going in the direction of Ginobili!
But really speaking, this may have something to do with Tang Tian.
If it weren't for Tang Tian's touching his head all day long, he probably wouldn't have thought about taking pictures of others' ass.
No right The culprit is Duncan!
After all, Tang Tian likes to touch his head and wants to get revenge on Duncan!
It is this old guy who is almost retired and has also transmitted this "bad habit" to others!
Back in the locker room, Whiteside was again celebrated by his teammates with a shower of champagne.
The atmosphere of the Pelicans this season is even better than last season ~ www.novelhall.com ~ After playing the game, Tang Tian drove back to the villa.
Anyway, when he entered the door, he heard the howling inside and thought it was a thief at home.
When I went in, I saw that the little lion was chasing Meimei's house.
These two guys, Olson wasn't there, really playing crazy.
But the next scene caught Tang Tian off guard.
After the little lion catches up with Mei short, press it directly on the ground to crack!
He hurried up to separate the two guys. Only then did he find Mei shortly panting and shivering, very afraid.
Obviously, they were not playing just now.
Tang Tian was a bit big when he looked at the young lion.
Brother, you are more than just genders, different species!
