Chapter 638
Spurs substitutions!

Maybe it was really hard to see Dior being abused by Aldridge on the inside, so Popovich made a decisive substitution.

It was none other than the Spurs Zhengyin center Whiteside who was summoned from the bench by him.

In the Spurs' future system, Whiteside undoubtedly has an important position. When Duncan is getting old, he must stand up and take over the dominance of the Spurs' future insiders.

Of course, among the three young people that the Spurs focus on training, Whiteside may be the most inconspicuous one.

From the point of view of talent, he is not comparable to Qin Yan and Leonard. From the point of view of resume, he is only a second-round pick and was "picked up" by Qin Yan.From an offensive point of view, although his scoring average is only a little lower than Leonard, he still relies more on the passing of Parker and others, and he is very happy to eat cakes in the Spurs.

Whiteside shines only when defending or rebounding.

But speaking of it, his defense was not uncommonly scolded by the head coach last season, because he likes to block shots so much that sometimes he can lose his position for a block.

But he does have talent in this area, so Popovich has a love-hate relationship with him.

But it’s good now. After Mutombo’s training this summer, Whiteside finally started to stabilize. His defensive talent is already high. As long as someone teaches him, it is not difficult to get rid of those bad habits.

This season Whiteside really reassured Popovich. Although the average blocks per game is not as good as last season, but now that he appears on the court, he can already bring oppression to the opponent!
Although he is not an offensive and defensive inside superstar like "Admiral" Robinson and Duncan, as long as he continues to work hard, becoming the next Mutombo is not a problem. Uncle Mu at his peak is definitely a first-class center!

It is enough for the Spurs to have such a center, because in Popovich’s future plan, the Spurs’ offensive core already has Qin Yan and Leonard on the outside. Both of them can attack, not to mention Qin Yan Or the kind with particularly fierce firepower.

In fact, if you take a closer look at the future troika of the Spurs, it is clearly an enlarged version of the Iron Triangle of Bulls!
Qin Yan is Jordan's role, Leonard is Pippen, and Whiteside is an enlarged version of Rodman!

Of course, there is still a big gap between these three and the three seniors, but when the three of them reach their peak one day, how terrible will the Spurs be at that time?
Thinking about it makes people shudder.

Dior went off, Whiteside came up, and Aldridge couldn't help frowning.

He's heard of this guy, he's very defensive, and he's the type of player he hates the most.

Aldridge hates that kind of muscular man the most, which may be related to his dislike of confrontation. Aldridge feels very uncomfortable when he meets a tonnage and muscular opponent.

If it was last season, Whiteside is actually about the same as Aldridge, both thin and tall.

But after hard training this summer, Whiteside now weighs 118 kilograms, and he has gained all his muscles. Not only has his speed not decreased, but his core strength has soared. Now in the whole team, Whiteside is now second only to Qin in terms of pure strength. That pervert Yan was ranked second.

After Whiteside came up, the Spurs' offense was easy to play. He was top-notch in pick-and-rolls. When he went up and blocked lightly, McGrady had room to make a direct three-pointer!
Of course, the ball may not be very smooth, and after a circle in the basket, it finally flew out.

The rebounds belonged to the Blazers, because everyone in the Spurs thought that McGrady would score this goal, so no one was grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt.

The Blazers took the opportunity to fight back, and Aldridge is also in the inside this time. Of course, Whiteside has already settled behind him.

"Tsk..." After coming up from Whiteside, Aldridge felt very uncomfortable. Now that he is behind him, Aldridge feels like he is leaning against a wall.

The Blazers still gave the ball to Aldridge, and the two big men started one-on-one.

Aldridge knows that the opponent's strength is above his own without any temptation.

He can't force it with the ball this time.

Shaking his shoulders continuously, Aldridge began to make fake moves, suddenly turned half-turned to the right, and then no matter what Whiteside did, Aldridge turned back directly to his body and broke through from his left side!
This singles is indeed very powerful, even if Whiteside crashes his own defense in the summer, he can't fully judge it.

In fact, if Whiteside hadn't caught up with Aldridge's first fake, Aldridge could have gone straight to the layup.

Breaking through along the bottom line, Aldridge raised his hand slightly to block Whiteside's pressure on him. It is true that this place is a bit narrow. If he is not careful, Aldridge may go out of bounds.

Whiteside is not overly oppressive, and it is easy to be called a foul at this level.

Aldridge came out from the baseline, and then backhanded to the basket for a dunk!

"You think I don't exist?"

Whiteside laughed a little angrily, it would be nice to let you break through the bottom line, and you plan to dunk with a backhand?
Stretching out his big hand, Whiteside kept pressing his big hand directly on the basketball!
Aldridge was not as strong as Whiteside, and his backhand dunk was even weaker. Now that he was held down by Whiteside, the basketball in his hand flew out!

Nice cap!
After Whiteside blocked the shot, he gave Aldridge a very domineering look, just kidding, you know how to block shots?Is it fun to call me Brother Manu just now?
However, because the ball went out of bounds, the Blazers still own the ball. Of course, there is not much time left.

After Lillard received the foul ball, he forced a shot. The shot was too hasty and missed. It hit the neck of the basket and flew high.

"Backboard!"

McGrady yelled at the inside line, the two big guys inside the Blazers had already entered, if the rebound couldn't be kept, maybe they would directly attack again!

"Relax, mine!"

With a roar, Whiteside jumped high, surrounded by the twin towers of the Blazers, stretched out a big hand, the palm of the hand seemed to become a big pliers, firmly clamped the ball in the air, and then Fish it out!
Although Aldridge and Leonard were depressed, there was nothing they could do. It was a shame that two of them could not grab rebounds but one.

This is the role of the inside line. With a strong inside player in charge, a team will become different in an instant.

After Aldridge was restricted by Whiteside, the Spurs regained the initiative on the court. Lillard alone really couldn't beat the four outside masters on the opposite side.

With a wave of 15:5 attacks, the Spurs pulled the score to double digits at the end of the first half!
Among them, Whiteside contributed a lot. He was alone, and scored 8 rebounds in such a short period of time, 4 of which were offensive rebounds!
It's really an insider who wins the world!

　Thanks to the book friend Qipo dada for the reward, I will continue to work hard!
