Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 140 [Hai Ye Appears!The rocket reaches the top! 】

球迷们都知道，2006-2007赛季西强东弱。东部战绩第一的活塞只有53胜，No.2的骑士49胜。

The Cavaliers made it to the Finals with just LeBron James and a bad team.According to expert analysis, if the Cavaliers are placed in the West, it may be difficult to break through the first round.In the quarterfinals of the Western Conference, except for the Clippers who are slightly weaker, the Cavaliers have no advantage against the other 7 teams.

The gap between the eastern team and the western team was undoubtedly revealed in the finals.In the absence of All-Star player Chuck Hayes, the Rockets can still crush the Cavaliers in only three quarters.

second game.The Cavaliers defended the zone defense at the beginning, let Gooden go around to defend Yao Ming, and other players double-teamed at any time in an attempt to limit Yao Ming.The same double-teaming tactic and the same close defense, Yao Ming's performance was completely different from that of the regular season. The ball passed Yao Ming's hand and then passed out. David Lee's two shots declared the Cavaliers' tactical failure.

Yao Ming's personal ability has not improved much, but he has played smarter.He learned a few things by watching Duncan and Gasol draw double-teams and pass the ball.

To deal with the defense around the front, the best way is to quickly move to the other side, or rely on teammates to squeeze the inside line and wait for teammates to lob the ball.

However, this method is not easy to use when the opponent double-teams and uses an inside player with high agility to move forward.For example, now Gooden goes forward and Ilgauskas defends. Before Yao Ming encountered this situation, he was basically at a loss and could only hand it over to his teammates.This time, under the disadvantage of slow movement, he decisively used his height advantage, raised his hands high, and asked for the ball on the spot to hit high.

Yao Ming's upper body strength is not too strong, but the tactics of holding high and hitting high will definitely not suffer a disadvantage against speedy insiders, and Gooden can't jump up in the fight with Yao Ming.In this game, Yao Ming raised his hands high no matter when he asked for the ball or when he received the ball. Duncan did a particularly good job in this aspect. Yao Ming didn't do enough in the details before. He likes to sit down and ask for the ball with his hands sideways. , I like to hug my chest to protect after the ball is coming, but can this really protect?In this way, the opponent will only be slashed mercilessly. Originally, the NBA's inside competition is extremely fierce, and some secret or normal physical contact fouls will not be ignored by the referee.

Yao Ming just raised the ball high, which not only makes it difficult for the opponent to encircle and suppress, but also makes it difficult for the opponent to make small moves. It is relatively clear when there is a foul, and the referee can make the whistle justified!
Yao Ming's offensive ability has reached its peak this season.His personal offensive ability is too strong. When the opponent is defending alone, he has reached the point where he can score whenever he wants to score when holding the ball.This forced the Rockets' opponents to double-team Yao Ming.Excessive double-teaming will sacrifice one-fifth of the defense on the court, so the Cavaliers need to be extremely cautious in grasping opportunities and timing, not to mention the Rockets and McGrady.

This season, with a group of good role players, the Rockets began to use Yao Ming as cannon fodder to attract "double-teaming" as the core tactic, thereby winning more flexible tactical space for the team and the weakest overall defense of the opponent.This is a brand-new model attempt. If there is any difference from the previous two seasons, it is that the Rockets have changed from being afraid of double-teaming to welcoming double-teaming.Yao Ming no longer hides from double-teams, but faces double-teams. For this reason, he has been practicing passing all season long.

In a system that welcomes double teams, the nature of Yao Ming has changed. His greatest value lies not in scoring, but in forcing the opponents to make tactical changes.

The rocket's tactic is very simple. If you don't double-team Yao Ming, turn around and shoot a jumper to kill you, so the opponent must double-team.Then Yao Ming only needs to pass to David Lee, or McGrady who stands in a straight line with him, and the battle can be resolved!
终场比分105比84，骑士毫无悬念的输了21分。姚明24分7篮板5助攻4盖帽。麦迪17分4篮板7助攻。詹姆斯这场比赛打的还是很憋屈，24分6篮板6助攻，命中率只有三成多点。

The media exclaimed that this is the most disparate finals they have ever seen!It turned out that the Rockets didn't need Hayes at all.

Rockets do not need Hayes?The answer is of course no.

But without Hayes, the Rockets still have Yao Ming.Yao Ming is not as good as O'Neal and Duncan at their peak.But when the Rockets resolutely attacked with Yao Ming as the core, Yao Ming began to rise from a star to a superstar.

This is why Marion and Jamison can also get 20 plus 10 data, but experts' evaluation of them is much lower than Duncan and Garnett.Because they can only score and cannot attract double-teams.Yao Ming used to kill each other with a knife.Now, he already knows how to use the knife in his hand to force his opponent to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.Score a goal without double-teaming, and double-teaming is even worse.

Facing Yao Ming who was holding high and playing high, the defense of "Big Z" and Gooden was like "Hunting": "Didn't Asakura jump down? Tang Ta also jumped down? Now you jump down too. Jump, jump quickly ah!"

Hayes' knee was almost healed, and he felt ready to play, but Clanton and Lovin insisted that he would take two weeks off and not return until Game [-].

Looking at the state of both sides, will the Cavaliers and Rockets have a fifth game?Hayes was very skeptical.He hopes that the Rockets will sweep the Cavaliers and win the championship easily, but he doesn't want to just look at it like this for the first time in the finals.

The Rockets won two games, and Hayes flew to Cleveland with the team for an away game against the Cavaliers.He sat on the bench but couldn't play.

Cavaliers home fans watched the finals outside their homes for the first time, and emotions were running high.James sprinkled magnesium powder before the game, which caused the fans to cheer even louder.Few people in the world are optimistic about the Cavaliers winning the championship, but the fans all hope that the Cavaliers can grab a victory at home.

The referee of this game made people suspect that he was "receiving money from others and eliminating disasters from others". Today is the home court of the Cavaliers, and they wanted to blow the Rockets to death as soon as they came up.In the opening 5 minutes, the referees gave Yao Ming two fouls.It was all Varejao's fault.One charge with the ball, one block.

Two of the most ambiguous and dichotomous penalties in basketball, charge and blocking, are what referees are taking full advantage of today.The Cavaliers led 25-20 in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, maybe God didn't want to see the Rockets being hacked. The Rockets' peripheral players all became superstars.As long as they choose to double-team Yao Ming, the Rockets can easily pass the ball to open positions, and a group of outside shooters can make their lives worse than death.Internal pass and internal offense, David Lee is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Mike Brown changed his strategy and failed to double-team Yao Ming for two consecutive games. The Cavaliers simply put the main defense on other players, pinning their hopes on Yao Ming's bad hand feeling and the single defense interference of inside players.

As a result, Yao Ming got a lot of shots, scored 18 points in a single quarter, and made 8 of 8 free throws.

The score did not open.In today's game, as long as there is physical contact, it is basically a foul by the Rockets.Good old man Yao Ming actually got a technical foul for arguing with the referee!
The Cavaliers once chased the point difference to only 4 points in the fourth quarter, but if you look at the technical statistics, you will find how they bit the score this time.

The Rockets made 19 free throws and the Cavaliers made 1 free throws.Hayes has been observing several referees from the sidelines. In the fourth quarter, their expressions were more anxious than the Cavaliers fans in the auditorium!

Even so, the Cavaliers failed to win the game, 98 to 90.The Rockets have won three games in a row.Yao Ming played 38 minutes and scored 32 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. McGrady scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Their performance ensured the Rockets' victory.James scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, but his free throws were terrible, making 16 of 9 free throws. He missed two free throws at critical moments in the fourth quarter, ruining the Cavaliers' hope of catching up.

In the post-match press conference, Van Gundy tactfully blamed the referee. "This is a tough game. The three Cavaliers (referees) played well. Although they didn't score, they made the Cavaliers twice as many free throws as us. Fortunately, the opponent was not allowed, otherwise we might have lost. This It's the finals, many people around the world are watching, I hope we don't see these three players again in the next game! In addition, Yao Ming played very well today, he is the kind of player who should take 30 shots in a game!"

The reporter asked: "The Cavaliers have no players injured, and they will definitely continue to play in the end."

"Oh, I'm just talking about my wish. I also hope that Yao Ming can get more free throws in the end." Van Gundy sneered.

Mike Brown said: "We lost to Yao Ming again. He is already the dominant center in the league. As long as he receives the ball, it is difficult to defend. We can only increase the difficulty of his receiving the ball... Yes I'm sorry to lose this game. The players gave it their all and they did a great job."

After this game, the Rockets have won the championship. No team has ever been able to reverse a 3-0 deficit, not to mention that the Cavaliers are a bit worse than the Rockets.

After the game, Hayes hurried to discuss with the team doctor.

He wants to play, even if he only plays 2 minutes, he has participated in the finals.As a result of the discussion, the team doctor agreed that Hayes could play in the fourth game, but he could not do strenuous exercise. He could only run for two symbolic laps in the garbage time of the fourth quarter. Even the team doctor felt that the Rockets played against the Cavaliers, and the fourth quarter was average. Will be garbage time.Even if a man with one leg is sent, it will not affect their victory.

Van Gundy's words in the press conference worked.The news has been speculating that someone is trying to control the finals, and the referees are unfair in enforcing the law!After the crab walk, under the gaze of fans all over the world, Stern still wanted to favor his godson.The third game was said to be a scar on the face of the NBA!

In the fourth game, the scale of the referee's penalty was changed from the previous game. Yao Ming continued to attack and got free throw opportunities.In the NBA, you can "cut the shark", "cut Deng", or even cut the "emperor", but if you use foul tactics against Yao Ming, you will be awarded points.

Yao Ming only conceded 16 goal in 1 free throws. With 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Rockets led 93 to 81 by 12 points.At this time, Van Gundy replaced David Lee and Hayes, satisfying his desire to win the championship with his teammates. The Cavaliers gave up defense at the last moment, and Hayes got a shot and hit a mid-range shot.

After beating the Cavaliers 95-87 on the road, the Rockets swept their opponents 4-0 and won the championship.

Since 1995, the Rockets entered the Finals for the first time and returned with the trophy.

Since the big dream Olajuwon, another center for the Rockets has become a leader.Yao Ming performed steadily in the 31 finals. He was the Rockets player who posed the biggest threat to the Cavaliers and the player with the highest score in the finals. He averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and [-] blocks per game.He became the first Chinese in history to win the title of Most Valuable Player of the Finals!
