Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 169 [Dunk!Rising star! 】

The Bobcats and the Suns staged a super battle, which made the audience hooked.

In this game, the players on both sides are amazing. Although they can't play fast breaks every time, their shooting percentages are astonishingly high, and no one can guard the other.The score was 68 to 74, with the Bobcats trailing by 6 points.

Before the end of the first half, Hayes received a pass from Felton on the left side, dribbled with his back, turned suddenly to the baseline, and squeezed Stoudemire into the basket.Stoudemire was almost mad by Hayes. When Hayes jumped up to shoot, Stoudemire pushed him around the waist with a small movement.Hayes tilted his body in the air, one foot was almost out of the baseline, and he still threw the ball even though his body was leaning back sharply. The Sun players watched the ball bounce off the backboard in a daze, and bounced on the basket again. Twice, fell into the basket. 70 to 74.

After landing on one foot, Hayes staggered and stabilized his figure.If he landed with this kind of action last season, Hayes would have been lying on the ground. He has trained for two months this summer, and the area where he has improved the most is his body coordination, which allows him to do a lot of things that he couldn't do before. action.

The referee blew Stoudemire's pushing foul, and Hayes got a chance to add a penalty.This is Stoudemire's third personal foul of the game, all on Hayes.

It's a pity that Hayes missed the extra penalty this time, and the missed shot also had the effect of reducing the time of the Suns' last attack.

When Marion got the rebound from the backcourt, there were only 1.7 seconds left for the Suns to attack. Marion passed to Barbosa, who threw the ball to the frontcourt with both hands, and the ball hit the backboard heavily. matches are over.

It's a crazy game.Both sides are constantly attacking each other's weaknesses.

The Bobcats couldn't guard Nash.Calderon is not Fisher, he does not have Fisher's physique and bravery when switching defenses.So when he switched defenses, he was thrown over the head by the forwards of the Suns again and again. Felton was replaced, and the situation did not change. Bobcats players were always one step slower in defense. Too many opportunities for teammates.

纳什上场比赛打出30分10助攻后，本场更为神勇，17分8助攻已经接近两双。斯塔达迈尔也已经拿下了18分。

Hayes 28 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists led the Bobcats to bite the score.Many players have never played data in their lifetime, and Hayes completed it in halftime.He runs in a wide range during the fast break, and when he is in position, he asks for the ball at a 45-degree angle on both sides. He resolutely hits the basket and tries to make fouls if he can't score. Big hat, but the uncomfortable person is indeed Stoudemire. Hayes' offense is very resolute. If he fouls again in the second half, his playing time will definitely be shortened.

"This game is too exaggerated. Hayes may break his own scoring record. With his current state, scoring 50 points is not a problem. He is playing more and more confidently. Most of the points today are going to the basket. Breakthrough!" Kenny Smith said.

"Chuck should thank me. I told him during the vacation that he must be confident. For example, I think I am the most handsome man in the world, and that is indeed the case." Barkley laughed.

"Handsome man, how do you think the two sides will play in the second half? The Bobcats are now only relying on Hayes to score. It seems that the situation is not good." Smith said.

"Comparing Nash and Chuck, I think the bad situation is the Suns. It is not easy for the Suns to win this game. The main reason is the physical strength of the Suns players. The score is very tight. If Nash plays more than 40 minutes , It's hard to say what level of performance in the fourth quarter, but Chuck will play 40 minutes, and he will be in the same state as when he started the game. His physical strength is outstanding in the league. I don't think Nash can be compared to Chuck at all, so the bobcats must win ’” Barkley said.The whole world will say that Nash cannot be compared with Hayes. It is estimated that this fat man is the only one.

Smith said with a smile: "Hayes played many singles in the same position in the first half, and the Bobcats have never used the forward defense against him. Why do you think this is?"

Barkley said: "If I were the head coach, I would not let the players go around to defend Chuck. He is different from Yao Ming and Tim (Duncan). Up front, but Hayes going around the front is getting himself in trouble. He's not afraid to go around the front."

Smith said: "Can you tell me more about it? I think the friends in front of the TV would like to hear it too. You mean he is fast and can move to the other side?"

Barkley said with a smile: "It's a shame that you have been in the NBA, and you don't even understand Chuck's technical characteristics. It's not a matter of Chuck being fast enough to run to the other end to catch the ball, but that if the Suns go forward to defend, it is equivalent to Send him inside. Chuck couldn't be happier, as long as he gets stuck, the other Bobcats players can shoot as much as they want. His rebounding ability can't be ignored by any team in the league. Last season, his His rebounding efficiency is the highest in the league. If you look at rebounds in 48 minutes, he is the rebounding leader. Don’t forget that he played small forward in many games.”

Smith suddenly realized.If Hayes takes the lead and gets stuck inside, it will be difficult for the Suns to protect the backcourt rebounds, and this game will be difficult to play.So the Suns would rather let Hayes catch the ball comfortably and then send weak-side players to help defend.Hayes' points made them dare not double-team with all their strength. As a result, Hayes succeeded in consecutive singles and scored 28 points in the half.

Bobcats players are full of confidence in the victory, the main reason is that the substitute.Bobcats main force and the strength of the bench is not much different.Okafor has now become an inside substitute, which is enough to prove everything.Landry has good physical fitness and is very suitable for playing fast-paced games. He also scored 4 points in the first half.But he was too excited and fouled more.Three early fouls ended the rest.

D'Antoni is going to continue to give Landry a chance to play in the second half, so that this rookie can give full play to his talents and build up his confidence.Okafor really can't play the Suns for too long, his speed is too slow, and he can't keep up with the rhythm at all.If he can't run back to the half court, the Suns have already attacked, and the excellent inside defense can't be played.

"Pay attention to the speed of returning to defense in the second half, and you can't let them do whatever they want. Use the second tactic (Eagle attack) when attacking the position. Change the lineup. If you bite the score, you win. Chuck, you take a rest in the second half." Anthony said.

Hayes only rested for 4 minutes in the first half.Hayes, however, objected.

"I don't think I need to rest. The sun must be afraid of me now. If I go off the court, they will not have so much pressure. If they want to rest, they can not use me as an offensive point and let me rest on the court. As long as I am on the court , they have to focus on me to defend, and the others are better." Hayes said.As long as there is no hand-to-hand combat in the offensive, it is considered a rest for him.

D'Antoni thought for a while and announced that Hayes would continue playing in the second half.

Bobcats lineup replaced by Landry, Hayes, Moon, Weaver, Felton.

The Suns also adjusted the lineup. Nash rested and replaced Marcus Banks. The other four players were Barbosa, Diaw, Marion, and Sean Marks.

Nash and Stoudemire also need rest.

The third quarter started, and the Suns took the lead.

The man Hayes defended was Sean Marx.In fact, this is a kind of rest, he just needs to follow Max.The Suns aren't going to hit Hayes with Max on offense unless the coach is crazy.

Barbosa breaks through with the ball. "Brazilian Lightning" is Lightning against others, but when it comes to Weaver's defense, the speed difference between the two is not very big.Weaver's defensive awareness is not strong, but he is not afraid of Barbosa.The two fight for speed, and Weaver has a height advantage in defense.

Barbosa missed a jumper under Weaver's interference.Marion grabbed the offensive rebound, made a jump shot at the basket, and was blocked by Moon.Seeing that Hayes didn't defend him, Marion didn't pay attention to the marginal man Munn at all, but Munn's athletic ability was not inferior to Marion's.

Felton picked up the basketball and rushed across the half court, and Barbosa followed Weaver.Felton did not pass Weaver, but passed to Landry who followed up in the middle.Landry, who is at the center position, has a clear advantage in speed, and dunks with both hands after receiving the ball.Max hasn't run back to the restricted area yet. 72 to 74.

This is Landry's second dunk in this field!On-site commentators exclaimed - "The Bobcats have found their bully!"

Landry's mid-range shots are still not very sure, but dunks are his strengths, and he also has a certain ability to attack with the ball.Now D'Antoni likes him very much and makes him a key training target for insiders.

After Nash was off the court, the Suns' offensive points were Barbosa and Marion.After Barbosa broke through, the ball was given to Marion.The latter was tortured a lot by Hayes, and now he was blocked by Moon, a fringe Bobcat. In order to save face, he had to return one.

Marion was defended by Landry, and Marion used his own weird dribbling to break inside and hit a half-hook shot. 72 to 76.

Landry's fingers are just a little away from the basketball.Although he failed to cover it, Landry still had a smile on his face. He had already shown his confidence in this game.

The Suns attacked from the ground. Hayes covered Weaver to block Barbosa. Weaver ran into the inside without the ball. Felton sent the ball in time. Get rid of Max.One-handed dunk hit. 74 to 76.

Marion again singles Landry.Landry's defensive awareness is not good, he is not good at defensive breakthroughs.Felton let go of Banks, who was defending him, and double-teamed Marion.This is the right strategy, Banks is strong on defense and very poor on offense.Marion defends the ball and barely passes to Diaw, who passes to the open Banks.Banks glanced at the outside and made a three-pointer, but the ball still missed.His outside shooting ability is too poor, and his shooting percentage was only 17.2% last season.

"Come on!" Hayes yelled.After shouting, he stuck Max and jumped up, took the backboard, turned around and dribbled past Max, and made a long pass with both hands to the frontcourt to find Weaver.Three-on-two frontcourt, the other two Bobcats are Felton and Moon.Moon was being watched by Marion, and Felton's position was empty, but Weaver only had eyes on the basket. Under Barbosa's defense, he chose to lay up by himself, but the ball missed.

As soon as Barbosa breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a person flying behind him. Landry caught up with him in time, took down the offensive rebound, immediately got up after landing, and dunked into the frame with one hand! 76 to 76!

Landry dunked for the third time in this field, and many spectators stood up excitedly and cheered for this newcomer!
Barkley said: "Landry is suitable for the Bobcats' tactics and is very promising. He was actually selected in the second round. The Supersonics seem to have given the Bobcats a talent for nothing."

Smith smiled and said: "Calderon, Landry, Weaver... Bobcats have many new stars this season, they can help Hayes!"

On the other hand, the Suns' offense, without Nash, is going it alone.Barbosa missed a three-pointer with an outside jumper, and Hayes protected the backcourt rebound.The Suns all returned to the half court, and Max didn't even have the idea of ​​grabbing a rebound, so he retreated directly.After the Hayes pick-and-roll this time, Weaver rushed inside to attract the defense, and Felton handed over to the high post Hayes.Hayes caught the ball and flicked, and after Barbosa jumped up, he dribbled the ball and took a step to stop and hit a jumper. 78 to 76!The Bobcats took the lead again.

The Suns coach Porter couldn't sit still, and sent Nash and Stoudemire back to the court.The sun is ready to fight, and wants to use the main players to defeat the opponent in one go!

Bobcats also replaced Calderon and Wallace, they also think so.
