Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 157 [Dedicated to all kinds of dissatisfaction]

With just a dunk, D'Antoni had a good impression of Gortat, a bald man. His speed is not inferior to that of Derins, and his explosive power is stronger. If he can practice mid-range shots, he has a bright future.

The red team is attacking from the ground, and the field is full of fast players, so it is difficult to counterattack quickly.

Hayes continued to focus on Okafor, who averaged 3.9 offensive rebounds per game last season, and his second offense was his main scoring method.But when he played against the Rockets last season, he grabbed a total of two offensive rebounds.Hayes' defense is a headache for him.He scored within 10 points in both games.

"Emeka, why don't you consider going out for the pick-and-roll? You can't pass me if you catch the ball in this position. Andris (Biderins) is farther than your attack distance." Hayes laughed.

"I don't need you to remind me." Okafor said angrily.

"I didn't remind you before, but now you are my teammate." Hayes laughed.

Okafor breathed a sigh of relief.That's right, the more powerful this guy is, the more he deserves to be happy.Thinking of this, he also let go, ran out to pick and roll for Felton, Felton broke through, Hayes switched defenses and blocked in front of him, one step away, preventing penetration and not preventing shots.The opportunity has come out, Felton made an emergency stop for a jumper, Hayes stepped forward to interfere, and Felton made a shot.

"Marcin, fast break." When Gortat struggled to grab the rebound, he heard Hayes' cry in his ear.

After landing, he quickly passed the ball to Calderon who was closest to him.Calderon delivered a long pass to Hayes on the left. Hayes easily left Okafor behind. Facing Wallace who returned to defense, he smiled slightly and passed the ball to the other side. Azubuike, Azubuike scored with a one-handed dunk.

4:0.

"It was so smart," D'Antoni exclaimed.

"It's easier for me to counterattack. Emeka's speed is slower than Chuck. As long as the shot doesn't make a shot, this disadvantage will show up." Van Gundy laughed.

The two coaches saw it clearly.The red team's defense is already very strong. As long as the 122 zone defense is in a good position and Okafor does not come out on the baseline, the outside players can release Gortat and double-team Hayes, looking impeccable.But Okafor's only speed disadvantage was exploited.

Okafor picks and rolls Wallace again, and Hayes switches defenses. This time, he is half a step away from Wallace, and the center of gravity is left. Wallace chooses to break through to the right, and Hayes follows the defense to the right corner. , a little slower.He knew it was a point where Wallace was off the ball, and Wallace pulled up to hold the ball, Hayes stepped up to interfere, Wallace missed again, and Azubuike picked up the rebound.

The green team attacked, Hayes asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Okafor was behind him.Okafor made a wrong judgment in the first step and missed the block.

6:0.

In the fourth round, the red team made the first jump shot by Felton.

After one quarter of the game, the green team led 25 to 17 by 8 points.

Okafor gets no points against Hayes, and if he goes out in the pick-and-roll, Felton or Wallace will have a hard time against Hayes.Hayes scored only 4 points, but scored 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Okafor has a height advantage against Hayes, but he didn't hit any of the three mid-range shots. His offensive distance is too short. Running and bombing is a tactic that requires players to have the ability to shoot. Okafor is not qualified in this regard.

The top scorers of the red team are Wallace with 8 points, Felton with 5 points, Pietrus and Biedrins with [-] goal each.

The green team blossoms more.Calderon 7 points, Azubuike 6 points, Barnes 5 points, Gortat 3 points.

Calderon made 4 of 3 shots and made two good shots without a single turnover, which surprised D'Antoni. If Calderon can maintain this level, the deal with the Raptors will be profitable.

The red team changed players, Okafor off, Herman was replaced, Felton off, Jeff McGinnis was replaced.The green team also made substitutions, with Hayes off and Kurt Thomas on, Calderon off and Sessions on.

Sessions was very nervous when he played for the first time. McGinnis successfully intercepted the ball before he dribbled the ball and played a counterattack.

After the end, Hayes and Okafor sat together.

"I think you have to work on your mid-range shot," Hayes said with a smile, raising a hand.

Okafor shook his head, clapped hands with Hayes, and smiled wryly, "Fortunately, I don't have to be an opponent. I really can't get past your defense."

"My weakness is that I'm afraid that someone with a height advantage will make a mid-range shot. As long as you practice your shooting well, you may blow me up." Hayes laughed.

It's not that Okafor doesn't practice, but he can't practice.If he can practice mid-range and long-range shooting, he can become a player at the level of Duncan and Garnett.He's a little bit overwhelmed now.When guarding Hayes, he felt like he was facing a guard, and he missed the first fadeaway jumper.On the second ball, Hayes's several consecutive fake moves made him lose his position and hit a jumper.If Hayes is singled out every time, he really doesn't have the confidence to defend.

D'Antoni is also talking to Felton.

"Raymond, you have to practice shooting! Otherwise, you can't become a qualified starter in the run-and-gun system. As long as you shoot accurately, no guard can guard you." D'Antoni said.He estimated that during this holiday, several main players of the Bobcats went to play.Only Hayes has been practicing in Hollywood, and it makes sense for Hayes to become stronger.

Neither Okafor nor Felton were able to satisfy D'Antoni with their shots.

Felton's mid-range and long-range shots have always been criticized. Because of this, although his explosive power and jumping ability are top-notch, and his 10-meter speed can reach 8 seconds, he can't reach Chris Paul and Deron Williams. s height.

If the opponent defends closely, he may be able to break through with a fake move, but if the opponent takes a defensive breakthrough and lets him shoot, he cannot guarantee efficiency.Last season, he contributed 36.3 points, 14 assists and 7 steals for the team in 1.5 minutes of playing, but his shooting percentage was only a poor 38.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 32%. He also made a lot of turnovers, averaging nearly 3 per game.

Felton was a little frustrated. He wanted to prove that he was the core of the team, but in the first training session, the coach said that he might not be suitable for starting.Hayes' pass also frightened Felton.Hayes is slower than him, and his breakthrough is not as sharp as his, but he can always send the ball to the right position. He has 2 assists, but Hayes has 5. Who is the point guard?
"Chuck, your passing is better than last season," Van Gundy said. "What did you do in Los Angeles?"

"Two hours of coordination training, rebounding with Lamar Odom and Rodman, Barkley taught me how to squeeze the defense with cleverness, Jordan taught me how to use fakes better, the first step and better fadeaways .I'm also wondering how to reach their level now." Hayes said.

The team members sitting next to him gasped in unison after hearing his words.If Hayes has reached the level of Jordan and the others, is he still human?Stop playing in the NBA, set up a separate league and let him play by himself.

Hayes rested off the court for 5 minutes, and the red team immediately caught up with the score on the court and even overtook it by 3 points.When Van Gundy replaced Moon and Landry, the effect was not good, and the Green team's offense fell into a solo battle.

No matter how stupid people are, they can see how powerful Hayes is. Once he leaves the field, the green team will die immediately.

Van Gundy replaced Gortat and Sessions with Hayes and Calderon.The red team also put on Gerald Wallace against Hayes.

"Jose, don't rush to pass me, show your ability." Hayes said, he has now reached the small forward position.The center is Thomas, power forward Landry, and shooting guard Moon.

"It's been a great feeling to play with you," Calderon said with a smile.

After playing, Hayes gave Calderon a pick-and-roll. Calderon is also very fast, not as fast as Felton, but compared with others, he has an advantage.After the pick-and-roll, Hayes also went inside, and Calderon passed back to Hayes after a breakthrough.Hayes attracted Biedrins' defense in the middle, and the fake shot was passed to the sky. Landry jumped high and dunked the basketball!
"Good sense!" Hayes exclaimed.

Landry smiled happily when he returned to the defense, holding his fist high.

The goal was scored, and the players and coaches on the sidelines applauded.

D'Antoni made a note in his notebook.He was watching Landry during the summer league. The quality of this rookie is very good. If he didn't have a history of injuries, he would definitely be selected in the first round.Bobcats actually only rely on cash and a second-round pick in exchange for the Sonics, isn't this a disease of the brain?Landry himself is the first rookie in the second round. Can someone better than him be selected next year?
Landry is fast and has a good mid-range shot. He will have the opportunity to integrate into the run-and-gun system in the future, and D'Antoni is going to give him some opportunities to play.

After a few more rounds, Hayes and Landry took turns to pick and roll Calderon. Gerald Wallace couldn't get a chance to match Hayes. Once he defended Calderon, Calder Long will pass the ball to Hayes or pull up to Landry in the high post.

Landry scored two goals in a row in the high position, and the shots became smoother.If the inside line goes out to defend Landry, Hayes will enter the inside line and play back.Neither Billings nor Wallace is as powerful as Hayes.

Wallace of the red team kept looking for Hayes to single out, making 5 of 3 shots.But the green team quickly led by nearly 10 points.

After being substituted, Wallace sat next to Hayes and asked, "Why don't you try to challenge me one-on-one? I don't think I lost to you in terms of personal ability."

Hayes drank some water and said: "Gerald, what you said really disappointed me. I am your teammate, what do you want to do now? Fight me for the boss? Do you think you are better than me? Just rely on your 2.6 assists per game? What you should think about is how to make your teammates stronger. Or use the help of your teammates to make yourself stronger, instead of fighting alone."

"I just want to prove myself..." Wallace didn't know what to say, he really shouldn't compete with his teammates.

"In this team, the person I admire the most is you. The defensive end averages two steals and one block per game, which is better than me. I must beat you offensively, because I am more comprehensive than you, attracting double-teams and I can pass the ball. .Your passing is not good enough. If I were a striker, I would definitely average more than 6 assists per game. On the court, we will not conflict, and we can play more flexibly by changing positions at any time. I am confident that you will become more Strong." Hayes said with a smile: "If you are not convinced and want to fight me one-on-one, you can fight me after practice, and I will give you all my strength. Don't blame me for the pain all over your body. I will surely take you. "

"..." Wallace was speechless again.He really can't stand Hayes' strength.Hayes is also more comprehensive than offensive means.He had to admit that Hayes was indeed the strongest on the team.
