Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 167 [Depressed "Hacker"! 】

Hayes assisted Pietrus' pass and the audience cheered together.The two clapped hands in celebration on the return defense.

Barkley laughed: "If Chuck can often pass this kind of ball, his offense will be more threatening. After attracting double-teams, he is more threatening than Tim (Duncan). Because of his passing Faster, more abrupt. The stupid-looking routine Johnson taught him seems to be working."

"He does seem to be playing more freely than last season." Kenny - Smith said: "But the Bobcats are not the Rockets, and their defense seems to have some problems..."

When the two were chatting, Nash broke into the inside and scored two points for a layup. 8 to 7.

Stoudemire made a screen for Nash, and Biedrins had to come out. After changing positions, the Bobcats' defense appeared loopholes, and Biedrins couldn't prevent Nash from breaking through.

Calderon showed a strong ability to control the rhythm. Even though the opponent was Nash, the number one point guard who had won the MVP in succession, he played without restraint. He dribbled the ball across the half court, Hayes pulled to a high position, and Marion also Followed out, Hayes ran out, Suns had to follow, Calderon handed the ball to Hayes, weak side Raja Bell's defensive attention was drawn to the high post, if Hayes used power Playing Marion alone, Marion is hard to bear, he must be ready to help defend at any time.Hayes took a step, observed Bell's position from the corner of his eye, and then passed the ball back to Calderon outside the three-point line. Calderon handed the ball over Nash's head to the basket with both hands, and Pete When Bell was about to double-team Hayes, Ruth suddenly started from the right corner, received the basketball, and made a jumper under the basket. Stoudemire immediately defended, but it was still a step slower, and the basketball passed his fingertips , Bounced twice on the basket, or fell into the basket. 10 to 7.

The cooperation of the Bobcats is far from that of the Rockets last season, but Calderon's broad vision makes up for this shortcoming. He and Hayes have formed a tacit understanding in just a dozen days of training.As long as teammates run out of space, Calderon and Hayes have a way to pass the ball.

"Beautiful pass!" Hayes patted Calderon's back and quickly returned to defense.

Calderon defended Nash closely in the frontcourt.

The Bobcats' offense is so strong?Nash felt that the Bobcats were more offensive than the Rockets last season.When the Rockets swept the Suns 4-0, they relied on super defense, but their offense was not as smooth as it is now.In the playoffs, the person with the most assists for the Rockets was power forward Hayes, and there was no one who was good at passing the ball at the point guard position.Fisher and Spanoulis are more like shooting guards, and their main roles are reflected in defense.

But the current Bobcats are different. Nash is a big expert in passing. After a few rounds, he felt Calderon's strength. When he was in the Raptors, such a person was actually just a substitute for TJ-Ford.Calderon gave him the feeling that he was very smart, he knew the relationship between offense and passing, and the choice was just right, and the first goal Calderon made was very sudden, which was exactly the offensive method Nash was good at.

This guy looks a bit like me?Nash had this question in his heart, and he dribbled the ball across half court.Stoudemire came up to pick and roll again.Calderon is not only a bit like Nash in offense, but also a bit like Nash in defense (both colanders), being easily blocked by Stoudemire.This round, Hayes switched to Nash and Biedrins went to guard Marion.

Nash dribbles off the pick-and-roll, faces the rim, slows down, looks at the rim, and looks like he's about to take a shot.This is a problem for any defender, and Hayes is no exception.His dribbling has no fake moves at all, just pulling the ball up. It couldn't be simpler. Nash is like a martial arts master who has reached the realm of returning to the basics. Hayes doesn't know which direction he will break through with his false and real movements. Can't judge.

Hayes is half a step away from Nash, which is the experience he has gained from defending Nash many times.This half-step made Nash feel a little uncomfortable. If the defender didn't stick up, Nash usually shot with less interference.His shooting percentage is high.

Hayes was not far from him. Nash turned to the left first, swayed to the right and broke through. He didn't completely sway Hayes, but he made a "falling down" low to the basket at a very small angle. Go in with a basketball in your hand.Hayes missed the ball, and almost stepped on Nash who lost his balance and fell to the ground after he landed. 10 to 9.

Both sides played a high level of offense, and neither could guard the other.Every time Hayes played against Nash, he felt that he would definitely cover Nash next time, but the next time, Nash could still hit the ball in a simple and elegant way, which made people helpless.

If anyone on the court thinks similarly to Hayes, it's Marion.

Hayes caught the ball on the three-second zone line, singled Marion, squeezed twice, turned to the baseline and passed Marion, and raised one hand under the basket.Marion has lost position, catching up with a jumper to block the shot.Hayes just feinted, turned around and hit the hook!Returned the sun one. 12 to 9.

"Hayes has used this trick of 'Dream Footsteps' again. His offensive methods are really not comparable to Marion. If he is a player who doesn't like to use fake moves at the basket and shoots directly, Marion may block the opponent. Hayes faked too much, look at Marion's depressed expression." Kenny Smith laughed.At this time, a picture of Marion shaking the baseline ball with his hair was playing on the big screen.

Barkley laughed and said: "Chuck's footwork is indeed very powerful, and I admire him for that. Odom learned the most when he was in Los Angeles. This is just one of the tricks. In Los Angeles, he often confronted Michael (Jordan). Practice, he learned a lot from us old guys. I hope he can knock Marion out with a trick in this match."

The sun is still Nash's offense, this time he passed it to Marion.Marion's confidence in being defended by Hayes just now was also affected. He passed Hayes with his speed and rushed to the basket for a layup. What's even more funny is that the ball hit the rim and just bounced. Hayes' arms.Hayes turned around and launched a fast break.

Wallace took the lead and rushed to the inside line for a layup. Stoudemire defended and gave Wallace a big cap.Biedrins grabbed the ball, but because of the distance, it was handed over to Calderon to organize.The latter was handed over to Hayes who plugged in from the back row.

Marion stood in front of Hayes, and this time he had to guard against everything he said.Hayes caught the ball face-up, swayed his right foot, dribbled the ball to the center, took the ball to the penalty area and stopped with both hands to the left to make a pass-like movement. Marion didn't jump this time, but Hayes Without jumping again, Yess threw the ball backhand with both hands and hit the board. 14 to 9.

Fuck me!That's okay, isn't he afraid of being blocked?Marion almost went crazy watching the ball go into the basket.For this floor-flowing shot, as long as he takes off, he can push the ball down with his head, not to mention his hands.

Hayes played with this time difference, shooting in a false and incomprehensible situation.If someone else used this style of play, it would be very risky, but Hayes' reaction was too fast. He observed Marion's shoulders halfway through the shot, and could judge from the range of movement whether he would jump.

Nash dribbled the ball past Calderon, went inside and gave it to Dior. Dior raised his hand and shook Gerald Wallace, broke through the baseline and made a backhand basketball. 14 to 11.

The offensive rhythm of the two teams is very fast, and almost all of them complete an attack within 10 seconds.Biedrins goes outside to pick and roll Hayes.After being blocked, Marion actually felt relieved this time, and Stoudemire did not follow, because Biedrins was not a threat in the high position.The man who helped defend Hayes was Diaw, and Marion changed positions to keep up with Wallace.

Hayes dribbled the ball under his crotch twice, squeezed Dior to dribble the ball into the three-second zone from the middle, stopped suddenly and shook the ball with both hands in the direction of Wallace, then fell back and made a jumper, and the ball scored again. 16 to 11.

Diaw didn't jump, his attention was attracted by Hayes' passing action, and he looked at Wallace.When he came back to his senses, Hayes had already shot backwards, and all he could do was stretch out his hand.Marion chased the cover from behind, also a little slower.

Even more powerful.This guy Hayes is simply a monster. Why does it feel like he is improving every time he faces him?Dio looked at Hayes, that was what was on his mind.He was also elected as the most improved player, but he only improved for one season. The data in these two seasons has begun to decline, but Hayes has kept improving.

Marion finally escaped Hayes through an off-ball pick-and-roll. The current defensive formation of the Bobcats is very loose. The space shooting posture hit a three-pointer. 16 to 14.

"In the future, in training, we will spend more time for the players to practice defense. They don't even have half the defensive ability of the Rockets last year." Van Gundy said to D'Antoni: "I think it's okay to run and bomb like this in the regular season, but In the playoffs, the speed must be reduced appropriately to allow them to adapt to the 122 zone defense."

"Let them get used to it slowly." D'Antoni laughed.He is in a very good mood now, and he feels a sense of accomplishment watching the two teams he has coached play a gorgeous offense.This is the charm of the basketball game, high speed, high shooting percentage, and an offense that cannot be defended.The Suns' offense is also very strong. He believes that if they were replaced by other teams, the current score may have been stretched.

Hayes ran to the 45-degree angle again, reaching for the ball.

Hayes made consecutive hits, and his hands were hot. He just raised his hands, and he has already attracted the attention of two Suns players, ready to double-team at any time.

Marion didn't get close to Hayes, and kept a little distance. He knew that there was a gap in his strength, and it was useless to resist hard.

Rodman's physique is not as good as Malone's.Malone's muscles are like a professional wrestler, and he has no problem with O'Neal.So Rodman didn't use his strength to defend, but stuck to Malone, chasing blocks and interfering with shots. This defense method made Malone uncomfortable.

Marion's idea is good, but in Los Angeles, Hayes has already confronted Rodman, and he has experience in cracking this method, which is to squeeze to the basket in one breath.

Aren't you stubborn?I go to the reasonable collision zone to play you to death.Hayes used all his strength to go to the basket.The person Rodman was most afraid of back then was Barkley.Moreover, Rodman defended back then, but there was no reasonable collision zone...

The purpose of a reasonable collision zone is to prevent tall players from standing at the basket when defending. When the opponent breaks through for a layup, the opponent's center will not move, which will easily cause the layup player's dribbling foul, and it will be difficult for the offensive player to form a beautiful Layups and dunks. In order to break the tactic that is unfavorable to the development of basketball, the NBA has revised the rules and set up a reasonable collision zone in a small range under the basket. If the opponent's breakthrough is not defended outside this range, then entering this range will not cause a collision. On the contrary, the defensive players standing directly under the basket are more likely to be fouled.This rule also makes the NBA more entertaining, avoiding the rogue play of some teams with tall centers who put a big center under the basket to defend against it, and makes basketball more balanced.

Marion is not a tall player, so he is even more tragic.Hayes squeezed inside and dunked the jump ball with both hands.Marion also jumped up to block the shot. His jumping height was enough, but his strength was not enough.Hayes dunked the ball across Marion, Marion's hand hit Hayes' arm, the referee's whistle sounded, foul!Two points count and one free throw!
After Hayes added a free throw, it was 19 to 14.Marion is so depressed!
The Suns were the first to request a timeout.They must find a way to curb Hayes' scoring momentum!
