NBA: Top 6D talents to start

At the end of the regular season, the Suns' schedule was relatively easy, but after the game against the Bulls, they still lost two games.

It is definitely not empty talk that there are no underdogs in the NBA. It is as strong as the Bulls in 96 and lost 10 games. It is as bad as the 73ers in 76 and won 9 games.

The Suns have the last 6 games left in the regular season and currently have a record of 68 wins and 8 losses.

Even if the last six games are lost, the record of 68 wins and 14 losses will be the first in the league, so the Suns have locked in the first place in the league in advance.

If it was Popovich, he might choose to let the main players rest, but Gentry is not Popovich, and he also wants the players to play well in the last six games.

Warriors, Nets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Jazz, Kings.

That's where the Suns' final six games will go.

The day before the game against the Warriors, when Weidong went to the arena for training, Whiteside did some strength training in the training room on the bench press.

"Brother."

Seeing Weidong approaching, Whiteside put down the barbell and greeted Weidong.

"You practiced well."

Weidong patted Whiteside on the shoulder, thought for a while, and found a more suitable word to encourage him: "Very strong~"

"Practice blindly, practice blindly~"

Whiteside waved his hand, a little embarrassed.

Since being signed by the Suns, Whiteside has been here for more than half a month, but has not had a chance to play.

Half a month ago, Whiteside was negotiating with several teams in the CBA. Suddenly, he received a call from the manager of the Suns team, asking him if he would like to sign with the Suns. Whiteside immediately agreed to the Suns team without the slightest hesitation.

The Suns also gave him three options, 210 million in three years, 460 million in five years and 960 million in seven years. Whiteside did not hesitate at all. He chose a seven-year contract. It's almost ready to retire, and with a few million in hand, it's enough to save some money after retirement.
Wei Dong said: "Let's save the strength training in the offseason. Only by participating in team training can we improve ourselves."

"I also want to participate in team training."

Whiteside muttered, but since he entered the league so far, he has only played a dozen games, and his statistics are even more shabby than the atmosphere group of the Suns, Warrick and Brewer.

Not to mention the game, even the intra-team match, he felt that he was not qualified to participate.

"Come if you want to participate."

Weidong dragged Whiteside to the court, "You warm up first, and you will play a one-on-one game with me later."

"oh oh."

Whiteside nodded, "Okay, Brother Dong."

When Whiteside was warming up for the shot, Weidong glanced at it. This shot was really blind.

In a team with Nash, Curry, Thompson, and Weidong, the shooting is so bad, it is because the team culture does not match.

"Tony, let me take a look at Whiteside's information."

Weidong didn't remember Whiteside's playing style anymore, so he asked the player development coach to bring Whiteside's information.

Height: 210CM.

Armspan: 231CM.

Weight: 103KG.

Standing touch height: 287CM.

Bounce in place: 69CM.

Run-up bounce: 80CM.

With a run-up height of 5.5 meters and a body fat rate of [-]%, this physical talent is simply off the charts.

It's a pity that his weakness is also very obvious, his skills are rough, especially his shooting is unsightly, 40% of his free throws, Weidong or Nash's free throws with their eyes closed are all higher than him.

"Attack the weakened version of Antetokounmpo, but he can still play worthwhile."

Thinking about these things in his heart, Weidong also walked onto the court.

The other Suns players also stopped what they were doing and gathered around to watch Whiteside and Weidong single-handedly.

Whiteside said: "Brother Dong, tell me the rules of heads-up."

"Score 21."

Weidong threw the ball to Whiteside, "You can use all methods to attack, and my score outside the three-second zone doesn't count."

"Wow"

The rest of the Suns players are envious.

It was the first time that Weidong set so many restrictions on himself when he was singled out. Only scoring in the three-second zone counted. Not only did Weidong give up the three-pointer that Weidong is good at, but Whiteside's defense would also change. To be more targeted, Weidong is equivalent to one arm tied and Whiteside singled out.

And Whiteside's biggest advantage is his inside defensive ability.

Gentry smiled at Cole: "Brother Dong is going to beat Whiteside in the way he is least good at."

"I hope this player doesn't lose confidence in basketball."

Cole was also joking aside, even though Weidong set so many conditions for himself, no one thought that Whiteside could defeat Weidong.

Varrick came over with the whistle, "I'll be the referee."

"Whiteside."

Gentry stood aside and said: "If you can beat Dong Ge, I will give you 20 minutes of playing time in the next game."

"it is good!!!"

Whiteside looked excited.

Weidong has restricted so many conditions for himself, if he still can't win, then he really has no face in the NBA.

"You attack first."

Weidong assumed a defensive posture.

"Whiteside, come on!"

"Whiteside, come on!"

"Whiteside, come on!"

The Suns players are all cheering for Whiteside. After all, Weidong is so invincible in the heads-up game that even the caddy will not let him go. Everyone really wants to see Weidong being abused in the heads-up game.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Whiteside took three dribbles and it was a jumper.

Weidong just stretched out his hand for a gesture, but the ball still hit the basket.

"Ugh"

There were sighs all around, Curry shrugged, how could someone shoot so inaccurately?
It was Weidong's turn to attack.

Weidong was holding the ball from outside the three-point line. Because of his height, Whiteside had to lower his center of gravity to defend Weidong. Weidong dribbled the ball under his crotch, then turned around and passed Whiteside.

After dribbling to the basket, Weidong looked back at Whiteside and scored with a backhand layup.

"You can't defend like this!"

McGrady watched anxiously from the side, "Brother Dong has already said that his scoring outside the three-second zone does not count, you just stand inside the three-second zone and defend."

"Is there a defense for three seconds?"

Whiteside asked a little confused.

McGrady sighed, "There is no defense for three seconds in singles."

"oh oh."

Whiteside learned to be smart now, and he was really standing in the three-second zone, five or six meters away from Weidong.

"That's right, the comprehension is quite high."

Weidong nodded with a smile, attacked again, slowly dribbled the ball to the three-second zone, then tricked Whiteside out with a shot fake, turned around and put the ball into the basket again.

4:0! ! !

Whiteside watched Weidong score two goals.
