Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 135 [Sea Lord roars!The emperor succeeds! 】

Hayes threw the basketball as soon as he lost his balance.Fortunately, his reaction was faster than others, and he straightened his body in the air, avoiding landing sideways, otherwise he would be seriously injured if he did not die.Because he wanted to stabilize his figure when he landed, Hayes twisted his left leg, and his knee hurt, and he knew something was wrong.

Bad luck!It's okay to dunk a basket!The higher the jump, the harder the fall, such a simple truth has been forgotten.If God gives Hayes another chance, he will definitely choose to be a floor player honestly, and he will never dunk if he can layup, especially when there are people behind him...

Weaver was the first to rush forward and gave Finley a push. Players from both sides surrounded him, and they were about to gang up.

Hayes turned over, sat up and waved to his teammates, and the two sides finally separated.

Finley was ejected for a flagrant second-degree foul, and Weaver also received a technical foul, but was not ejected.This is the home court of the Rockets, and it is the star of the Rockets who is injured.Playing 50 large boards each will not work.

"Chuck, are you okay?" David Lee and others surrounded him.

Hayes stood up slowly, moved a bit, and found that he could still walk, but his knee joint was very painful, and it was definitely impossible to talk about high-intensity exercise.Hayes covered his knees and said depressedly: "Damn, I can't fight this round. But don't worry, it's a minor injury, I can feel it."

"Go to the locker room and check it out," said Lowen.

The referee signaled Hayes to complete the free throw first, Hayes made 2 of 1 free throws, and then followed the team doctor out of the field.Novak acted as Hayes' crutch again.

Seeing Hayes leave the field, Van Gundy's face turned blue with anger, and the fans continued to scold him!

Popovich's face was also ugly. Even if Hayes left the field, it would be difficult for them to recover the 20-point gap, losing and losing.

Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming returned to the court, the Rockets continued to control the situation.After Finley made a malicious foul, the on-the-spot referee whistled the Spurs players more strictly. As long as they made a slight move in their hands, they would be called defensive fouls. This was also done to appease the emotions of the home fans.Yao Ming was sent to the free throw line in a row and maintained a 100% free throw percentage. The morale of the Spurs was completely lost.

After Lovin checked Hayes, he shook his head and said, "Chuck, I have some bad news for you. This injury is not serious, but it still needs to be recuperated. I think you will have to rest for more than two weeks."

Hayes almost vomited blood when he heard it, Ma Jingtao possessed him instantly, and roared: "What? Can you stop talking nonsense!! Two weeks!! The season is over in two weeks!! Do you know!! Do you know!! Tell me Get well before the finals! Can you!! Can you!! Can you think of a way for me! If there is no way, I have to find a way!! Is there a way? Yes! Yes!! Yes!!"

"A sprained knee is a common injury in the league. Usually, you have to rest for two to four weeks. If you go into battle with an injury, the loss outweighs the gain if you get injured again. Let's have an MRI check after the game. Of course, there is also the possibility of an early comeback." Luo Wen wiped the spit on his face and comforted him.

"Damn it, it's unlucky. I curse Finley for having a son and sharing the same asshole with him!" Hayes said depressedly: "Lovin, what you said is also reasonable. It is not a good way to play with an injury. The Blazers' Roy's knee is like this Useless."

"Isn't Roy the best rookie? I remember he wasn't injured?" Lovin asked strangely.

"You don't understand, can I curse him! Can I do it!!" Hayes had already fallen into a state of madness.

Hayes counted the time.If the finals did not sweep the opponent, he should be able to come back to play.It is not yet known who the opponent will be in the finals. If it is the Cavaliers, even if he does not play, the Rockets should be able to easily win.What is this, this kind of thing happened in the first sub-finals!
Van Gundy had discussed it with him before.From the beginning of this game, we will use him as the core of the offense, arrange tactics for him, and strive to let him win the finals MVP.Hayes is very happy, feeling that the MVP is already in the bag.Unexpectedly, after being happy for less than a day, the MVP became a floating cloud.

At halftime, the Rockets led 60-37 by 23 points.The teammates were very concerned about Hayes' injury, and after hearing Lovin's explanation, they were a little discouraged.Hayes' inability to play in the finals had a great impact on the team's strength.This is not only reflected in the data, without Hayes, the rocket's defensive level will drop a lot.

Hayes returned to the bench in the second half and watched his teammates play.He got warm applause from the audience.There are still many people calling his name, hoping that he can play again, which is of course impossible.

Under the leadership of Yao Ming and McGrady, the Rockets beat the Spurs 104 to 79 by 25 points and advanced to the finals.Yao Ming scored a game-high 24 points and 12 rebounds, McGrady also had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. However, the Rockets were not happy because it is still unknown whether Hayes will play in the finals.

At the press conference, Van Gundy scolded Finley for being despicable and deliberate, and asked the league to punish Finley severely.

Popovich congratulated the Rockets for their promotion, but did not apologize for Hayes' injury: "This is the game. Players sometimes move a lot in order to defend, and it is normal to cause injuries to the opponent. We have nothing to say .”

Popovich is still angry that Bowen was reimbursed for the injured season.He believes that if Bowen is there, the Spurs' defense will definitely be stronger, and maybe the Rockets will not easily advance to the finals.

At this time, it is actually useless to say anything. The Spurs' season is over.How can the league punish Finley?At most it is a fine.If you want to say the suspension, you have to wait until next season. There is no such precedent in the NBA.

After this game, Liang Zijie of the Texas duo grew stronger.

Hayes underwent an MRI and was confirmed to have sprained the medial collateral ligament of his left knee and will be out for two weeks.He will be placed on the team's injured list and will miss at least four games.

Once the news was announced, Finley became Houston's number one public enemy, and Chinese fans also hated Finley to the bone.A sentence quickly spread on the Internet - "You can't be too Finley!"

另外，当天也进行的另一场东部决赛。96-97，骑士在客场艰难击败活塞，在东部决赛中以3-2取得领先。双方第六场比赛将于6月3日在骑士主场进行。

詹姆斯全场贡献36分、7个篮板和6次助攻，休斯12分5助攻4抢断，伊尔戈斯卡斯拿下14分6个篮板，古登得道7分14篮板。

The Pistons started with four players in double figures, Hamilton scored 22 points, Billups 16 points, Rasheed Wallace 12 points, Prince 10 points and 9 rebounds,
After four suffocating battles, the match between the two teams is even more intense today.

The Pistons started with a 10-2 offensive climax. After Hughes and Pavlovich hit three-pointers, the Cavaliers chased the score to only two points.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately. With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, after Billups hit a three-pointer, the Pistons led 25-18.

The Cavaliers launched an attack. James hit the ground and passed the ball to Marshall, who was cutting inside. The latter was flanked by McDyess and Prince when he was about to dunk. The shot was taken, which was completely wrong for the ball and not for the person.

Poor Marshall, it is estimated that his horoscope today reads "Slam dunk inside and you will die", but unfortunately he didn't see this when he went out, so he went down to rest after coming off the bench for less than a minute.

This action almost turned into a gang fight. James was unwilling to be bullied by his teammates, and angrily came up to McDyess to argue, but fortunately he was stopped by his teammates.McDyess was called a second-level malicious foul and sent off directly, and James also ate a technical foul.

The Pistons ended the first quarter 29-23, but McDyess' departure made the Pistons weaker inside.

James led the team to pursue.With 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, he made a breakthrough with the "crab step" of the vertical and horizontal league, went up to the basketball and caused a foul, and even scored three points with a penalty shot.After the Pistons missed a shot, James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and then made a long pass to Varejao, who scored a dunk and the Cavaliers went ahead 47-46.James then grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up, and the Cavaliers extended their advantage to 3 points.However, the Cavaliers only made two free throws in the last 1 minute and 32 seconds of this section, and the Pistons ended the first half with a 52-51 lead.

In the second half, the Pistons started the third quarter with a 9-2 offensive climax, widening the gap 61-53.With 6 minutes and 22 seconds left in this section, the Pistons still led 65-58, but Pavlovic scored three points, and James and Varejao also made shots one after another to tie the score at 65-65.After that, the two sides began to strike iron frantically.Cavaliers substitute Gibson staged "Braveheart" under the tight defense of Billy Rubis and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. The Cavaliers overtook the score 71 to 74.

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons were like a godsend. Prince fouled James from the outside. Exceeded 3-12.

After that, James finally regained his touch, broke into the inside continuously, or shot or passed, and slowly recovered the score.

With 1 minute and 40 seconds left in this section, James assisted Ilgauskas to make a mid-range shot.Then James hit a three-pointer from a long shot, then made a quick breakthrough with a steal, and scored with a single-handed dunk.With 36.4 seconds left, the Cavaliers tied the score 92-92.Billups immediately returned a three-pointer, and the Pistons exceeded the score again, 95 to 92, leaving the Cavaliers with 18.8 seconds.

At the critical moment, James showed the strength of a superstar. He received the ball from the outside, passed Prince, broke into the basket, and scored a dunk! 95 to 94, the Cavaliers are only one point away.

After that, the Cavaliers took foul tactics and sent Hamilton to the free throw line with 7.5 seconds left.The CIC king made 2 of 1 free throws at the critical moment, 96 to 94, giving the Cavaliers a chance.

The Cavaliers gave the final blow to James. James started to dribble the ball in the backcourt, dribbled to the frontcourt and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc. 96 to 97.The Cavaliers outscored the score again.With only 2.4 seconds left for the Pistons, Billups missed a shot at the last moment, and the Cavaliers made it through with difficulty.

James was amazing and beat the Pistons alone.

But James can't be happy, because he knows that the Spurs are 1 to 3 behind, and the Rockets will play at home in the fifth game, and they will almost certainly enter the finals.He has no confidence in beating the Rockets to win the championship.

At the press conference, reporters mentioned that the Rockets had advanced, and James had a dignified expression.But when the reporter said that Hayes was injured and would probably miss the finals, James immediately burst into joy.His biggest headache is that Hayes is in the front and Battier is double-teaming from the side.

Now without Hayes, James sees the hope of "taking the throne".
