Lu Zheng thought, James broke through and sent the second pass, Whiteside received the ball and squeezed Jokic to dunk with both hands before scoring.
5 to 10!
Whiteside managed all the Cavaliers' scores since the opening!
On the ability to eat bread, he is much better than Mozgov and Tristan Thompson!
This 98 million is still useful!
However, looking back, Tang Tian continued to use Whiteside's weakness of slow traverse to break through to assist Davis and score 2 points in the middle.
Compared to the offensive end, Whiteside's inability to defend is even more deadly.
James continued to score points and Whiteside!
He also wanted to drive, and Whiteside had to play on the court to let him attack more under the basket.
Whiteside continued to pick up the ball, Jokic reached out and stopped.
He has a single offensive method, no hooks and no footsteps, forcing a shot after confrontation.
"Dang!"
Basketball hit the box.
However, he bounced fast and needed to grab offensive rebounds in the second jump.
Just then, a figure grabbed him, and flew into a rebound with his pockets.
Tang Tian!
Jokic's body speed was slow, and Davis was also jammed by James. The Pelicans, like in the previous few rounds, were difficult to protect their defensive rebounds.
But the Cavaliers missed Tang Tian!
Last season, Tang Tian, who needed a card to get a rebound, had a rebounding skill, and the ability to judge the rebound and the ability to defend the rebound improved significantly.
Coupled with height and bouncing, he caught the ball before Whiteside!
There was cheering at the scene.
Whiteside has previously grabbed offensive rebounds. Tang Tian's rebound protection is quite timely!
Tang Tian took the rebound and played a defensive counterattack. Boyang and Holloday also rushed out. Even Davis pushed James forward.
The Pelicans' defensive counterattack was significantly faster than last season.
Whiteside still had no time to retreat. The Pelicans made a 3-2 in the frontcourt. Tang Tian made a pass from one of the team's doubles. Holliday received a layup and scored.
12-5, the Pelicans continue to expand the lead!
Lu was standing on the side of the field with his hands on his hips, his brows locked.
He's tangled inside now.
After playing for more than five minutes, Whiteside's advantages and disadvantages for the Cavaliers have been obvious.
Both his offensive rebounds and Jokic's frontcourt advantage are visible to the naked eye, but his defense was directly targeted after he was targeted.
The position can't be fought, and it can't be back when defending against fast breaks. This is no longer a round.
Whiteside has made a name for himself with the Pelicans, which means the Pelicans can see his advantages and disadvantages at a glance!
And it's clear that the Pelicans grabbed this after the opening!
It feels like it's saying that your 98 million are drifting, your 98 million are really drifting!
This also seems to echo the attitude that Tang Tian played before the game. The Pelicans didn't really look at Whiteside.
Because that's really not a threat, but their breakthrough!
This is also the point of Lu's entanglement. Whether to keep Whiteside on the court or not.
If you continue to put it on the field, it means you will continue to be targeted by the Pelicans, but if you replace him, you will admit that the biggest summer signing failed!
And this is not a game thing, if the two teams meet again in the finals, Whiteside will not even be targeted for a minute!
Fortunately, the rotation time in this section is coming soon, and he doesn't have to worry about it. He brought JR Smith and Tristan Thompson to the court and replaced them with Shumpert and Whiteside.
When Whiteside was off the field, he looked at Lu like unhappy. He hadn't buckled yet!
Lu calmed him for a while, then continued to look at the field.
22-11, the Pelicans unknowingly widened the point difference to double digits.
On the bench transition, the Pelicans are still in a normal state. The two shots outside the three-point line are a bit too big, and the Cavaliers counterattacked.
The Cavaliers did not end the game, James finished the first quarter, the score on the court was 28 to 20, the Cavaliers approached some points.
Stevens reacted quickly and saw that Deron could not play, and replaced Hollodi in the opening of the second quarter.
The substitution worked, and at this time David Pelican, another veteran of the Pelicans, stood up.
Utilizing Davis' restraining power in the post, he continuously received passing mid-range jumpers to help the Pelicans re-establish a double-digit advantage.
Lu saw that he was forced to replace James, who had only rested for one minute, but Stevens immediately replaced Tang Tian!
You have your Zhang Liangji, I have my ladder!
In the opening game, Stevens didn't mean to release water!
The main players on both sides have successively played in advance, and this quarter has become a confrontation between the two sides.
James broke the layup and Tang Tian immediately stopped the jumper and returned to answerball.
Davis received a layup and made a foul to score 2 points. Irving immediately broke the foul and made a foul.
In the offense, the defense of both sides is particularly important.
Whiteside didn't play much in the second quarter, and the Cavaliers' defense was as thin as last season.
Although the Pelicans speed up, the system is still there. The Cavaliers played well in this quarter, but the efficiency is obviously not as good as the Pelicans.
After halftime, the score was 60 to 46, and the Pelicans had a 14-point lead!
"Alvin Gentry had a huge impact on the Pelicans."
Enter the intermission on the court ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Kenny Smith continues his professional analysis.
The Pelicans scored 60 points at halftime, which is a pretty high score.
Last season's Pelicans game felt like offense and defense balance, pursuit of offensive and defensive efficiency, much like the Spurs.
However, looking at halftime this season, the positional tactics have been simplified, increasing the speed and frequency of defensive counterattacks.
Although not as extreme as the original Suns, the team's offense obviously went up.
The person who made this change is obviously the new first assistant coach of the Pelicans, Alvin Gentry.
And this change was quite successful from the first half.
The Pelicans won three consecutive games with the Cavaliers' best offense last season, and now it looks easier than it was then.
Whiteside said before the game that his addition would make the game easier.
Now it seems that he is only half right.
Because the easier team to win is not the Cavaliers, but the Pelicans!
Back at halftime, Lu continued to put Whiteside in the starting lineup, and the Pelicans continued to follow Whiteside's strategy to grab Whiteside.
The two sides played the same way as in the first half, the difference is that the Pelicans felt an explosive touch in this section!
Tang Tian, Boyang, Hollodi, Jokic, and even Davis all scored three points!
Lu saw that the form was wrong and replaced Whiteside in advance, but it was too late!
This quarter alone, the Pelicans threw 8 three-pointers!
After three quarters, they also led the Cavaliers 24 points by 95 to 71!
Ferocious Pelicans!
This is Kenny Smith's evaluation of the Pelicans' new season after watching this game!
Whiteside was extremely depressing off the court. He had no energy but was useless!
And Lu doesn't trust him!
