Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 107 [For the championship, I will stay]

3月23日，火箭主场81比87负于活塞，一天后，火箭又爆冷客场89比92输给了黄蜂。

Chris Paul exudes superstar quality.In this game, he faced Fisher, who was moving slower and slower, with ease, scoring 34 points and 11 assists.

So far, the Rockets have lost 11 games.The dream of chasing the Bulls record was dashed.

The most depressing man was Jamario Moon, who went off the baseline on a fast break and bruised his knee and was sidelined for four weeks.At this time, Kirk Snyder returned.The uniform team was unwilling to give Moon another chance, and he was cut off with an injured leg.

After hearing the news of being laid off, Mu En felt that the world was almost the end of the world.Not only did he lose the chance to win the championship ring, but he may also bid farewell to the NBA.Hayes promised to suggest that the uniformed team sign him back next season. There are more chances of winning the championship, and Moon's mood stabilized.

In Hayes' mind, Moon was better than Snyder and Weaver, but he couldn't perform well because of the Rockets' tactics.Snyder has the ability to attack with the ball and is more suitable for playing positional offense.

People feel a little regretful that they can't break the Bulls' record.But the Rockets have done a good job, and there are more than 10 games before the end of the regular season. They will definitely get the best record in the league.Moreover, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are both healthy, which makes people more optimistic about the prospects of the Rockets.

According to the selection criteria of the current league, the regular season MVP (best player) is likely to be produced in the Rockets with the best record.

The data of the Rockets' Big Three are all beautiful.

McGrady had 25.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists.Performance across the board.McGrady has already won the scoring title twice, and his personal honor is short of an MVP trophy. This season is the best opportunity.

Yao Ming's data is 21.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.In addition to statistics, there is also the Chinese market behind Yao Ming, and the MVP is likely to fall on him. Recently, whenever a reporter mentions the MVP issue, Yao Ming will laugh very embarrassingly and happily.

三巨头得分最少的是海耶斯。他的数据是15.2分12.6篮板5.2助攻1.3抢断。他平均得分少了，篮板数据却一直在增加。目前他的篮板数排名全联盟第二，仅次于加内特的12.9个。

The fans are very happy that McGrady, who can score, is back, and Yao Ming also played the best data of his career.What Hayes saw was another problem. The Rockets had some changes in distributing the ball.Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming took turns playing singles, and the role players rarely got offensive opportunities.

When interviewed, the three always said that in order to win, they would not fight over who is the boss of the Rockets.But before the highest personal honor, who can be selfish?So far in the regular season, there is no clear leader in the team, and it is impossible to talk about who assists the other. Originally, the data of the three players is not much different, so it is not surprising who gets the MVP.

After the All-Star break, Jeff Van Gundy approached Hayes about shooting rights.

The boss Alexander clearly proposed to use McGrady as the core of the offense.Because he thinks that McGrady is in good condition, has a sharp offense, and has a beautiful playing style, which is easier to attract the audience.In the summer, McGrady was injured and couldn't play, but when looking forward to the new season, Alexander still had a smile on his mouth, and almost all of the names he spit out were McGrady's name, and his favorite description was "great player".He is a fan of McGrady, so he naturally hopes that McGrady will be the core.It's best to get the MVP of this season.

Van Gundy and Hayes discussed and made a clear division of labor. Tracy and Yao Ming were the main attackers, and Hayes controlled the rebounds and strengthened the second offense.In this way, Hayes' shots are reduced and it is difficult to compete for the best player, but it is good for the team.

In fact, in Van Gundy's view, Hayes is more suitable to be the core of the Rockets.

Yao Ming's movement speed is slow, he lacks the ability to attack with the ball, and his physical strength is not good.He is a good player, but not a qualified leader; McGrady's attitude has always been a problem, lacking aggressiveness, and not active in defense; only Hayes can attack and defend well, with a tough style, he is truly comprehensive.

But the Rockets' staffing makes Hayes have to do the third point.It would be a waste to let McGrady be a pitcher with an annual salary of nearly 2000 million.It is not suitable for Yao Ming to be a blue-collar worker.Then Hayes can only sacrifice offense and grab rebounds.

For the team's victory, Hayes is also willing to take rebounding as the first task.If he can average 15 rebounds per game, the MVP is still his.But it is impossible for him to grab 15 rebounds. He has Yao Ming, David Lee, Millsap, Mutombo and several rebounders around him. 12.6 is already the limit.With two inside substitutes joining, Hayes' playing time has also been reduced to an average of 35.6 minutes per game.In terms of efficiency, he surpassed Garnett, who averaged 38.8 minutes per game, and is already the rebounding leader.

Although there is no hope of winning the MVP, Hayes' sacrifice of shots for the team has won the recognition of the fans, especially Chinese netizens, who are almost unanimously "supporting the sea".

After losing to the Hornets in the away game, netizen "Forever McGrady" posted on the Rocket Bar: "In these two games, other Rockets players did not support McGrady enough, which resulted in the loss. It is understandable that the role players did not perform well, but Hayes almost He played too softly in the past month, he didn't dare to attack at all, the opponent passed the ball as soon as he was defended, and he almost disappeared on the court in the fourth quarter."

As soon as the post was posted, hundreds of people commented an hour later, and 80% of them complained for Hayes.

Netizen "alleine" said: "Lanzhou biscuits. Are you out of your mind? Hayes is soft? Grabbing 13 rebounds is called soft? A person who basically scores by grabbing offensive rebounds for a second attack is called soft? If you want to attack, you have to take it." To the ball? The whole audience will see that McGrady is either a pull-up jumper or a jumper with the ball. What is the shooting percentage for more than 30 points? When Hayes was the core, the Rockets never lost. McGrady knew that Swiping data to compete for MVP is simply a cancer!"

Netizen "Wushuang Lu Bu @缘来寺尚" said: "Just look at the records and you will find that when the Rockets attack with Hayes as the core, their style of play is very reasonable. Almost every game has at least five players scoring in double figures. Lost a game. Now McGrady is back. Except for the Big Three, the Rockets’ offense has scored less than 10 points. Hayes has also become a blue-collar. This is all thanks to McGrady’s comeback. In addition, I am wondering, David Lee had two consecutive double-doubles at the power forward position when he first came. Why not let him play for a while now? He has proved his strength, but now he only plays 20 minutes per game. Why did he change Wells? What is the purpose? There is a big problem with Van Gundy's employment."

A netizen "infatuated" said: "It's time for the Rockets to change their core. McGrady has made unlimited shots and scored more points than before. But just look at the statistics of the players who played against him, and you will know what he has done. Yao Ming When he and Hayes supported the Rockets, they won easily against the Spurs and didn't lose a game for a month. Once Tracy McGrady came back, playing against the Sonics was as difficult as against the Spurs, and he was almost defeated by Ray Allen. There is no way to break the record now, and it is strongly recommended to trade McGrady away."

"Aiyue Accompanying" said: "In order to win the MVP, McGrady created his own nine iron strikes. The 43% hit rate explains everything, no explanation..."

"If it's just like the first time" said it was more pertinent: "Hayes turned into a blue-collar for the sake of the team, because he can grab rebounds, attract the opponent's defense and pass the ball, which is more comprehensive. McGrady's specialty is grabbing points. Transforming into a shooter is Waste. The Rockets need Hayes, and they can't do without McGrady. McGrady is capable, how many people in the league can get 25+5+5 data?"

"Stupid" said: "It doesn't matter if the Rockets' offense is not good, they are already the strongest defensive team in the league. Guard against the opponent! Next game against the Bucks, let them score no more than 30 points."

"Prince Drag" replied "Stupid Baji": "The score is only 30! Do you think it is the Chinese team playing Saudi Arabia?"

There is one thing that the netizen "Stupid Baji" is right, the Rockets are indeed the best defensive team in the league.Not even in the past 20 years has any team played better defense than them.

Now the Rockets' average conceded points are only 85.3 points, limiting the opponent's field goal percentage to 42.1%, which is a terrifying record.Few teams can score more than 90 points in a Rockets game, and it's hard for the Suns, who have the strongest offense, to do so.In the game against the 76ers at home, the 76ers defended by the Rockets only scored 57 points. Except for Iguodala, no one scored in double figures.

Next, Hayes quickly silenced those who doubted it with his outstanding performance.

When "Magic" Johnson came to Houston, what he really taught Hayes was actually only one sentence, "do it before you think about it."Because of this sentence, Hayes' passing has improved.

The Rockets easily won the home game against the Bucks and the away game against the Clippers. Although McGrady scored more than 30 points in both games, Hayes scored consecutive triple-doubles, which was even more impressive.

在4月2日对阵爵士的比赛中，海耶斯也拿下了16分16篮板8助攻的准三双。这场比赛过后，火箭以63胜11负的成绩提前获得了本赛季的常规赛冠军。

All the members of the Rockets are very proud of this achievement.

Hayes now firmly believes that the Rockets will win the championship and build a dynasty.

At the post-match press conference, Hayes once again became the focus of the audience.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Hayes, you have always said that you will determine whether you will renew your contract with the Rockets after the end of this season. Now the regular season is coming to an end. Many teams have clearly expressed their interest in you. I hope that You're coming next season. All the Houston fans want to know your thoughts on this, can you give a definite answer? All the fans want you to stay."

Hayes suddenly felt sorry for the fans for keeping it hidden. He was in a good mood today and simply announced the answer. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, Houston fans. I will stay for the championship. I just have to wait until the end of the season to renew my contract. The team leadership will give me a satisfactory contract."

Hearing the news, the Houstonians in the venue gave warm applause.After the news came out, the team that hoped Hayes would join could only feel depressed.
