Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 14 [I don't want to lose! 】

Paul assisted Chandler for a dunk, and the Rockets were 15 points behind.

With 4 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, the Rockets requested a timeout.Yao Ming was almost slumped on the chair, and he was too lazy to say anything.

Jeff Van Gundy saw Yao Ming's appearance and knew he had to be replaced.

"Dikambe (Mutombo) plays center, Luthor (Hyde), Corunna (Azubuike), Novak, John (Lucas III) you all play in a while, play flexibly, Run around as much as possible to find a mobile phone opportunity..."

The timeout passed by every minute and every second, and the fans seemed to have celebrated the home team's victory in advance.Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, the atmosphere was very depressed, and no one spoke.Everyone knew in their hearts that the head coach replaced all the main players at this time, and even released John Lucas III who had been "tied to the bench". He must be preparing to give up the game.

Hayes looked at the time, there are close to 5 minutes.

Isn't it still a long time?Is there no hope of recovering after such a long time?Even Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk manga), who draws manga, knows that he can't give up until the end. The Rockets admit defeat now?Just because Yao Ming has no energy?Maddie is not in good shape?Isn't there someone else?

He looked at the two "bosses" of the team again, hoping that they could stand up and say something.Yao Ming's expression was serious, and he looked very unwilling, but he lowered his head and did not intend to speak.Maybe he was really tired, maybe it was the humility of the Chinese that made him reluctant to talk; looking at McGrady again, he looked relaxed and even smiled, he seemed to be used to losing for a long time, a loss in the regular season It doesn't matter at all to him.

Seeing McGrady's expression, Hayes was a little angry, and in a fit of anger, he felt full of strength again.

McGrady can score 35 points in 13 seconds, or he can be overturned with a 3-1 lead in the playoffs.He's a natural star, with the makings of a god, but without a winning heart.This is definitely not the quality that a leader should have. What kind of leader should a person who doesn't even have the desire to win?It's normal to miss the first round.Just looking at the mentality, you know that McGrady will never be Jordan, he is just a mortal.

Hayes was sitting next to Jeff Van Gundy, looking at Van Gundy's expression of resignation and helplessness, a thought suddenly burst out in his heart - don't speak, just let me speak!

He drank a few sips of water and said, "Coach, the game is not over yet, we haven't lost yet."

"Ok?"

"Coach, you replace all the main players, so you give up the game now? We still have time, 5 minutes, and we can recover!" Hayes' expression was calm, but his voice was extremely firm.

"Yao Ming has no energy, McGrady is not in good shape, and you fouled five times. In this situation, it is difficult for us to come back. Why don't we save our energy for the next game? Don't forget that we still have two away games." Jeff Van Gundy wrinkled Said with a frown.

Due to the tight schedule, sometimes it is considered a tactic for the team to give up a game that is difficult to win.This situation is not uncommon in the NBA.But Hayes is different, he has no habit of losing, not to mention that there is still time, even if he loses, as long as he still has a breath, he will fight until the end!
"Let me play! I still have strength. I suggest playing fast breaks to grab points. I will be a center forward. I will be the core of the offense. Allow me to be more flexible and attack as much as I want, okay?" Hayes looked at Van Gundy, Said very quickly.His voice was not low, and the people next to him could hear him clearly.At this time, he didn't care whether he was qualified to say such things at all, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, he didn't want to lose!
A second-year rookie refuted the coach's arrangement in front of everyone, which is simply unimaginable in the NBA.This rookie must be tired of playing, ready to sit on the bench forever, right?
Jeff Van Gundy definitely belongs to the kind of person who says one thing and one thing must be done.He is more stubborn and proud than other coaches.However, he was surprisingly not angry today, he was just surprised, he was looking at McGrady just now, and hoped that McGrady would stand up and take responsibility, but McGrady didn't have any intention of speaking, and it seemed that he just wanted to finish the fight quickly. Go back and take a shower and rest.

When Jeff Van Gundy was disappointed, Hayes stood up and said something.Isn't this the tenacious momentum he always wanted McGrady to have?
"Go ahead. Be careful not to foul again." Jeff Van Gundy looked at Hayes and nodded seriously.

"Thank you." Hayes could only spit out one word.

"Coach. It's almost time!" the assistant coach whispered to Jeff Van Gundy.

"Okay! Chuck, you go on the field. And Love (Alston), Tracy, you all go, Sean (Battier), you play power forward, you must guard West. In addition, Luther (Hyde) ), you try to run open for three-pointers. Let’s run, run, and attack fast, the faster the better, attacking with Chuck as the core! Time is running out, fight with them!” Jeff Van Gundy overturned the arrangement just said , exclaimed loudly.

Jeff Van Gundy could clearly feel Hayes' strong desire to win and aroused his fighting spirit.He found that this young man of average quality had grown again.The speed of his growth is shocking, not only his skills, but also his momentum!
The Hornets on-site commentator said easily: "Let's see, Chuck Hayes, who fouled five times, is back on the court. The other four are Tracy McGrady, Battier, Hyde, and Alston. It seems that the Rockets It is to speed up, they also played run and gun in the first two games when they were leading by a large score, and achieved good results. However, now the Hornets are leading by a large score."

The shouts of the away fans were particularly harsh. When Hayes stepped onto the field, he recalled the days in China.When he played in the college league, the school team's offense was all around him, and the team was in trouble. He just used his personal ability to take on the heavy responsibility of grabbing points and bearing the pressure.

That's just a Chinese university, here is the NBA, the level gap is big, and the pressure is even greater!
"It doesn't matter! McGrady made wild shots throughout the game. In the last few minutes, even if I didn't play well, what if I made wild shots? I am a reborn Super Hayes! God will bless me!" Hayes said to I cheer myself up.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the waves in the first three quarters and the waves in the last quarter were completely different concepts.

Take the China VS Slovenia match at the World Championships as an example.Wang Shipeng did not score a single point in 39 minutes and 55 seconds.But in an attack in the last 5 seconds, he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to kill Slovenia, and won the right to appear.Just for this key shot, people can forget how badly he played before, he is a hero!
On the contrary, a player who scored 40 points in the first three quarters and made consecutive shots in the last quarter that caused the team to lose will definitely be scolded bloody.

"Chuck." McGrady yelled and handed the ball to Hayes. As soon as Hayes caught the ball, his nervous heart almost jumped out of his mouth.He was so nervous that there was only one thought left in his mind - "Attack!"

Tyson Chandler came out and blocked Hayes.

Facing Hayes with fierce eyes, Chandler didn't dare to be careless, even though he was a head taller than him.He knew very well how difficult this opponent was, and even felt a little scared.The two had faced each other several times before. Hayes defended fiercely and fouled too hard.

As the saying goes: "The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of death." Hayes has a tough body and defensive horizontality. Now just by looking at his eyes, he knows that he is going to do his best.

Hayes first dribbled and squeezed forward, then stepped back, stepped down to dribble, passed the ball to his right hand, shifted his center of gravity to the right, attracted Chandler's center of gravity to the left, and then handed the ball to his left hand, changing direction and breaking through with the ball.

Chandler was so overwhelmed by the feint that all he could do was turn his head and watch Hayes pass him and hit a pull-up jumper.

sharp.The word flashed through Chandler's mind.That's not how the big man plays offensively at all.

It is difficult to change the situation with one ball. The Hornets still lead by a big score. They played very relaxed and their shooting percentage also increased. Stojakovic made a three-pointer and the point difference widened to 16 points.

4 minute and 14 seconds left.

"Reverse run," Hayes said as he sent the baseline pass past Alston.

This round, Hayes ran back inside and out, Battier blocked Chandler for Hayes.Alston passed the ball just right. After receiving the ball, Hayes stepped out of the three-point line and turned around to shoot a three-pointer. He didn't jump high, but his shot was fast and his movements were very stretched. bingo.

Hornets coach Byron Scott couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, and saw that it was the Rockets' guy who tended to be round. 'What a soft touch, this guy can make this kind of shooting?No wonder, Van Gundy dared to attack with him as the core. '

The Hornets failed to make a fast break. Paul stabilized his rhythm and handed the ball to West. West didn't score much in the whole game when he was entangled by Hayes. Now it was replaced by Battier. He also wanted to prove himself. Carry the ball towards the basket.He didn't know that many of Hayes' defensive skills were taught by Battier.It's hard for an apprentice, let alone a master?
"Stay strong! Come on!" Jeff Van Gundy shouted loudly, waving a towel on the sidelines. If he could do a few high leg lifts, he would definitely be a qualified cheerleader. The other substitutes also stood up and cheered.

West failed to make a breakthrough, and wanted to foul Battier. Battier's defensive awareness ranked first in the league, and he didn't eat his fake moves at all.Before the end of the shot clock, West could only force a fallback jumper outside the three-second zone. Battier's hand sealed his face. The ball went wide again, and McGrady grabbed the rebound.

McGrady focused on other things today, grabbed a lot of backcourt rebounds, and nearly 10 assists.He tossed the ball to Alston, who turned past Paul and dribbled upfield to Hayes who followed.Hayes received the ball without stopping and gave it to Hyde.Hyde was defended by Stojakovic in front of him, and without a Rockets player inside to grab a rebound, he pulled up a strong three-pointer and hit the ball again.

The shot was poorly timed, but when it went in, no one blamed Hyde.Three-pointers are the magic weapon for him to survive in the Rockets.

The Rockets scored two three-pointers in a row, and the low momentum came back.

还剩3分49秒，火箭76比86落后10分。黄蜂主帅拜伦－斯科特见形势不妙赶紧叫了暂停。

The Hornets home commentator exclaimed: "The Rockets have no center now, and they caught the Hornets by surprise. Hayes, who replaced Yao Ming, is definitely not a center. He scored consecutive points from the outside, more like McGrady than McGrady."

"Now that Yao Ming is not here, try to hit the ball inside as much as possible, let Tyson (Chandler) hit Hayes with height and strength. He has fouled five times, and the defense will definitely be affected." Byron Scottton After a pause, he said: "Steady the rhythm and ensure the success rate. Their attack just now was all launched from the outside, and it was difficult to maintain the hit rate. As long as the rhythm is controlled and the fast break is prevented, the advantage is on our side."

Chandler moved his lips, wanting to say something but not ashamed to say it.After several matchups, he felt that it was difficult to "hardly eat" Hayes with his own offense.Hayes has an excellent card position and surprisingly strong strength.It is difficult for him to squeeze into the penalty area.

Let Chandler attack outside the three-second zone, he is not sure; let him admit that he was defended by Hayes, it is even more shameful.The opponent is only 198cm tall, which is short for a small forward.

The game restarts.

Paul failed to break through Alston and passed the ball to Stojakovic.The Rockets, who were inspired by two three-pointers, became more defensive.McGrady also gritted his teeth, he had to prove himself.On offense, Hayes did what he was supposed to do, and if he couldn't guard Stojakovic, who was in decline, he wouldn't have to.

Stojakovic gave Chandler a high profile.

"Come on. I won't let you inside!" Hayes called.

Relying on his strong body, Hayes held Chandler firmly.He pressed the center very low, so that the height gap between the two appeared to be even greater.But he still kept Chandler on guard.He is not tall, but has a solid muscle mass, and his lower body stands firmly. No matter how Chandler turns around, he will not let him take a step closer to the basket.

Chandler was so anxious that he relaxed the protection of the ball, swaying his body from side to side, trying to find a gap to take off, as long as he got the gap, he could smash the ball hard to the Rockets basket!It's a pity that Hayes' calf is too thick, it can catch up to twice the size of Chandler's calf, and he is entangled so tightly that Chandler can't fly no matter what.

When Chandler was not careful, Hayes slapped him like a fan, knocking off the basketball in his hand.

This scene shocked not only the players present, but also the audience.The Hornets commentator explained very vividly, "My God, Hayes is like a stake nailed to the floor when defending, and Chandler can't push him."

Battier got the basketball, the Hornets returned to defense quickly, and the Rockets failed to make a fast break.Byron Scott's timeout is mainly about rhythm.Guaranteed success rate while consuming as much time as possible.When defending, focus on the perimeter.

The Hornets switched to using West to defend against Hayes, who was very aggressive during this period. If the Rockets, who were eager to chase points, were impatient and rushed to shoot three-pointers, this is what the Hornets want to see most now. Yao Ming is not here. West has a rebounding advantage.

The Rockets fell into position to attack.Hayes saw that it was West, and immediately improved to the inside to get the ball.

"Let you take a good look at my strength!" Hayes tensed his muscles, received a pass from Alston on the right side of the penalty area, lowered his body, arched West and went inside.West is a muscular man, but not as good as Hayes.Hayes squeezed into the three-second zone, turned to the middle, jumped forward, and pressed West with his body to make a jumper.West's jumping ability is not weak, but he lost his balance and couldn't take off smoothly.

时间3分11秒，78比86，火箭成功将分差缩小到了10分以内了。

Hayes's steals and points allowed the Rockets players to see the hope of victory again!

The annoying fortune-telling plot was deleted by me, hoping to save readers who were about to abandon the book because of that chapter.Hayes still has a lot of room for improvement in the later stage, and he will get the hang of it before long.
