: Eight hundred and fifty: This is his motivation to play

Latest website: In the confrontational training that afternoon, Whiteside showed his good physical talent in front of the Grizzlies.
His big hands and long arms allow him to be like a human backboard vacuum cleaner. As long as he raises his arms, the backboard will be attracted like a magnet.
His defensive position is pretty good, and he is very active in supplement defense, and can often complete exaggerated flying in supplement defense.
However, Whiteside's single defense is a bit worrying. Gasol has scored three consecutive goals on his head, each time he stunned him.
Whiteside wanted to prove himself too much. He seemed to be eager to fly his opponent's basketball fan to the audience every time he defended. But this kind of psychology will make him passive when facing top insiders.
And tomorrow's Duncan will only be more cunning than Gasol.
As for the offense, Whiteside is about no. His touch is actually relatively soft and he can hook hands, but apart from the touch, Whiteside's other technical moves are simply a disaster.
NBA-level offense is usually a combination and convergence of several technical moves. The bare hand feels good, but you can't be a scoring master.
This makes Whiteside basically only rely on dunks to score, and as Georgel said, Whiteside can't even play the most basic pick-and-rolls now. He doesn't know how to change the pick-and-roll strategy in different situations.
But since he was only the first day of the Grizzlies, this shortcoming can be understood.
Overall, Whiteside's performance is still quite good, exceeding the expectations of many Grizzlies players. Even Conley, who has always been cautious, has eaten Whiteside's hot pot during training today.
In the last game, how he scored 24 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks in the Development League. This is how he played on the training ground today.
However, it can be seen on the court that Whiteside does have those old problems, such as sometimes lack of concentration, such as mentality is still immature, and always thinking about blocks rather than how to effectively protect the basket.
Perhaps, Whiteside is also eager to copy his NCAA average of 5.4 blocks per game to the NBA. But he didn't figure out that NBA players are not comparable to student players.
In the end, Whiteside completed the training anyway, and respected the Grizzlies predecessors. There was no such strange incident as the previous refusal to guide the Kings.
Whiteside himself knows how important the next game is to a player like him.
It is not that he has not learned about the Grizzlies. Although the current defending champion's record of 10 wins and 2 losses is still very good, their dominance is declining. This is an indisputable fact.
As long as he can solve the Grizzlies' urgent needs, he can get a contract that lasts until the end of the season!
Whiteside knows this better than anyone else.
Just when Whiteside finished his day of training and was about to go back to the rental house to rest, Link came up and patted Whiteside on the shoulder.
"Link, hello." Whiteside saw that the team boss was looking for him, and immediately smiled.
Although he and Link entered the league in the same year, their status in the team is now vastly different.
"Good performance today, Hassan. By the way, I heard that you have a good game at play."
"Uh...just like to play, hehe." Whiteside scratched his head embarrassedly.
"That's great, do you have time tonight? Play two 2K ​​with me. After Nick Young left this summer, no one played games with me."
"Huh?" Whiteside was a little trapped, and the outside world said Link was a villain. Before coming to the Grizzlies, Whiteside was also mentally prepared to get along with the villains.
But unexpectedly, Link was so enthusiastic about the newcomer.
"Is there no time? Forget it, let me ask someone else." Link waved his hand, preparing to leave.
Whiteside will naturally not let go of this opportunity to have a good relationship with the team boss, he knows Link's position in the Grizzlies. If Link appreciates himself, maybe the Grizzlies will sign with himself until the end of the season to make Link happy!
So he squeezed Link's shoulder, "Of course, of course there is time."
"Very well, then after training, wait for me in the locker room." Link smiled, dealing with naive people in a naive way.
After the training, everyone went home early. Because of the injury outbreak in the league this season, Georgel is now very strict on the players' training time.
If you want to practice more, it is definitely impossible. What's more, it is still in the case of a match tomorrow.
Therefore, even Jimmy Butler, the additional training madman, has to go home obediently after training.
Link took Whiteside into his car. Fortunately, Link was driving an SUV today, otherwise he would not be able to fit a man like Whiteside.
In the car, Link introduced the street scenes along the way to Whiteside, which was to give Whiteside a preliminary understanding of the city of Memphis.
But Link didn't mention a word about tomorrow's game, and didn't say anything like "You must cheer and you can't make mistakes".
He knew that for people like Whiteside, too formal and serious conversations would have no effect.
After arriving home, Link immediately turned on the PS4 game console and opened the NBA2K game.
Whiteside picked up the handle, instantly excited. He can't wait to see if 2K has added himself to the Grizzlies roster.
Selected the Grizzlies, opened the roster, and Whiteside's name appeared in it!
But soon, Whiteside's smile disappeared. Because the score behind his name is only 59!
In the 2K15 game, Whiteside did not even score 60!
Enduring the unhappiness in their hearts, Whiteside and Link started the game.
Whiteside chose the Grizzlies, and Link deliberately chose tomorrow's opponent Spurs.
After the game hit Whiteside, Whiteside naturally couldn't wait to use his character.
As a result, he found that it was difficult for him to use a batch, and he couldn't use it at all!
In the game, when Link used Parker to break through the penalty area, Whiteside found that he could not control himself and quickly returned to the basket to defend. The speed was too slow!
Subsequently, Whiteside used Conley to pass himself an air relay, but Whiteside never received the ball! Conley has 92 pass attributes, and there is a badge for free launch. It stands to reason that it should be easy to complete the air connection.
But Whiteside's catching attribute is only 50... which makes him unable to get Conley's pass at all.
Link found that Whiteside was about to throw the handle with anger, and he knew that the time was about to come.
Next, Link operated Duncan to pick off an offensive rebound on Whiteside, and then passed it to Leonard. Leonard broke through directly and rushed in and ignored Whiteside's dunk!
How miserable it is!
"God, this can't be me at all!" Seeing himself in the game stupidly being separated by Leonard, Whiteside pressed the pause button angrily.
"A score of 59, only 61 blocks and 75 defensive rebounds! God, this is so insulting!"
"Well, I think so too. The 2K rating is too shit. Let me say, based on your performance in training today, your ability score is at least 85." Link smiled and started to flicker!
Again, to deal with naive people, we must use naive methods.
"Yes, even you think so!" Whiteside was very excited, as if he had found a confidant.
"But I think it's useless~EbookFREE.me~ You have to let everyone see your value. Tomorrow’s game, Hassan, must not be screwed up. Don’t think about unnecessary things, just Do your defense and rebound well, and then stay calm at all times. I believe that after tomorrow, 2K Company should update your ability score."
"I will do my best, Link, I came to Memphis for this! Look at it, I will make my 2K abilities soar! Tomorrow, I will stop everyone who dares to break into the restricted area, I I will grab every rebound for you! I know what I should do, don't worry!" Whiteside stared at his attribute interface, gritted his teeth.
Some people’s biggest motivation to play is the championship, some people’s biggest motivation to play is money, and Whiteside’s biggest motivation is purely to increase 2K ability value...
I have to say that Whiteside is really weird and really naive.
But as long as he can show off on the court, what about a little strange?
Link smiled contentedly. Tomorrow, at the Federal Express Arena, this talent that has been delayed for four years is time to show.
