Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 17 [Everything is for the team to win]

Since the start of the new season, the Southwest Division where the Rockets are located has become a recognized death group.The Hornets won three consecutive victories and occupied the top spot in the Western Conference, while the Rockets fell and tied for second in the Western Conference with the Spurs.Although the Mavericks lost three games in a row, no one doubted their strength.The only underdog in the Southwest is the Grizzlies.

The opponent of the rocket challenge is the Grizzlies.

Of course, rather than a challenge, it is more appropriate to say "clean up".Because Pau Gasol can't play yet.

Due to his soft style of play, Gasol was dubbed "Sister-in-law" by Chinese fans.There is a "sister-in-law" in the Grizzlies who can still make the playoffs. Without him, the Grizzlies are bullying.From this point of view alone, Gasol's strength is underestimated.

In fact, Gasol is really strong, very strong!The most intuitive performance is that Gasol is stronger than Yao Ming and is one of the few Yao Ming nemesis in the league.

Some people may be skeptical of this statement and say that Gasol's data in the Grizzlies is not beautiful.Putting aside the record of the Spanish team in the international arena, let's take a look at the comparison of personal abilities between Gasol and Yao Ming.

Ball control, Yao Ming's ball control has always been a weakness. Due to the high altitude, his ball control ability is relatively low. Needless to say; Gasol is also 213cm tall, but it is not uncommon to see shots of scoring after holding the ball in games.

Coordinating the offense, the poor ball-handling ability directly weakened Yao Ming's coordinating ability.Yao Ming's assist awareness and passing ability are insufficient. Sometimes, his assists are as few as Jeff Van Gundy's hair; Gasol can play a pivotal role in controlling the rhythm no matter in Spain or the Grizzlies. Consciousness is par for the course among seven-footers.

Defensive ability, height is a double-edged sword, Yao Ming stands out from the crowd inside, very deterrent, but slow moving.Yao Ming's defensive range is very small, he doesn't have enough speed to defend, and he always has a headache for insiders with stable shooting ability, such as Gasol; Gasol's defensive range is relatively much larger, which is the advantage of faster movement .

Attack ability, the two are almost the same, both can be inside and outside.The hit rate of the two is also comparable.However, Yao Ming is more limited to both sides of the three-second zone, relying on his teammates to pass the ball.Another point is that Yao Ming made a lot more mistakes than Gasol.

There is also athletic ability, which is Yao Ming's biggest weakness. He also admits that his athletic ability is mediocre.Slow to move, unable to jump high and run fast, and lack of physical strength; Gasol's flexibility, running and jumping ability, reaction speed, and starting speed are all excellent. In terms of athletic ability alone, Yao Ming cannot be compared with Gasol.

To sum up, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that Gasol's ability is very comprehensive. As far as personal ability is concerned, he has indeed overwhelmed Yao Ming. (I hope Yao Mi will not be angry, there are not many who can beat Yao Ming.)
Now, the Grizzlies' slight advantage over the Rockets is gone.In addition to Gasol, who can the Grizzlies rely on?
Rudy - Gay will be a good star in the future, but right now, he's a rookie who is impulsive and has an easy shot.

It was quiet in the away dressing room.In a while, the game between the Rockets and the Grizzlies will begin. The last game lost to the Hornets, and the Rockets cannot afford to lose this game.

"Usually before the game starts, isn't it very noisy? The sound insulation effect of the Grizzlies' home court is really good." Azubuike said after changing his clothes.

Alstom smiled and said, "Hehe, what is the sound insulation effect? ​​They lost 4 games in a row, and the losing fans lost confidence and shouted lazily."

Azubuike immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.

Jeff Van Gundy snorted when he heard Alston's words, and said: "Raff (Alston), you don't take the other side seriously, right? You are the most confident when you play, and the result? You let Paul What data did you take?"

"Sorry, I will try my best." Alston hastened to promise that he did underestimate the enemy again, because this time his opponent was veteran Damon Stoudemire.

Jeff Van Gundy continued to pace the locker room.He is also very confident against the Grizzlies.He just can't understand Alston's way of speaking. Sometimes a player's unintentional words in the locker room may cause the whole team to relax, which is not conducive to the game.Alston used to be the king of streetball, his playing style is a bit wild, and his personality is not typical.

"Now lay out the tactics. The first start is the same as the first game, and the defensive half is man-to-man. In the offense, I guess the opponent may come up and arrange strict defense tactics against Yao Ming and Tracy (McGrady). Therefore, Chuck is the first in the opening stage. Core offense," Jeff Van Gundy said, watching McGrady from the corner of his eye.He found Maddy's expression very relaxed.

"It's time, get ready to go out and warm up." The assistant coach said.

The Rockets stepped onto the court one after another. Tracy McGrady and Hayes were okay side by side, and said with a smile: "You have played very well recently, and you will continue to be in this state today."

"I will try my best. You have to work hard." Hayes also laughed.

"Come on!" McGrady raised his right hand and lightly punched Hayes.It's the way black players like to motivate each other.

Jeff Van Gundy felt relieved to see the two get along very well. 'Could it be that I'm thinking too much? Tracy and Chuck won't be fighting for the boss... If that's the best, I won't have to talk to Tracy for work. '

Everything is ready, the Grizzlies and Hayes are against Warrick.

Hayes clenched his fists and moved his shoulders and arms.After several months of fitness, the muscles on his body became stronger, like cast iron.

Warrick was next to Hayes, with complex emotions in his eyes. He had watched the Rockets' game video before the game, and he had also received special instructions from the coach. He must guard against Hayes. If the Rockets' third point Open, the Grizzlies have almost no chance of winning this game.

'This guy is so strong, if I use my body to hit me hard, can I resist it? 'The game hasn't started yet and Warrick's confidence has been shaken a bit.

Hayes looked at Varrick with a cold face, and smiled: "Are you ready? It's about to start."

Varrick glared at Hayes and said, "Don't be arrogant! What am I going to do?"

"Be prepared to endure the pain!" Hayes smiled.

Varik's expression remained calm, and his heart began to beat.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming won the jump ball, and Alstom caught the ball steadily and fell into a positional battle.The tactics deployed by the Grizzlies are to defend Yao Ming around the front and hang around McGrady.Alston transferred the ball to Hayes who asked for the ball on the three-second zone line.

Hayes dribbles the ball back to the inside arch.

With just four hits, Hayes shattered Varrick's confidence.In the first two hits, Warrick was still able to hold on, but in the last two hits, he couldn't breathe smoothly when he was hit by Hayes' buttocks.He is also a player who relies on physical fitness, but he belongs to the category with outstanding explosive power and relatively thin body.

Hayes squeezed inside, turned around, bumped Warrick off balance, and hit the board.

The Grizzlies attack, several passes, and the ball is in Warrick's hands.

Warrick has seen Hayes' defense in the preseason.He also tried post-hitting, and almost had an illusion at the time, he felt like he was hitting a wall with the ball.He knew very well that it was impossible to squeeze into the three-second zone with his body.

Warrick decisively dribbled the ball to hide and hit, but couldn't shake Hayes, and finally had to pass the ball out, and Eddie Jones missed a shot.

The Rockets gave Hayes a singles again. He caught the ball in the same position and hit Warrick with the same action. This time, Warrick used a foul to prevent Hayes from scoring.

Hayes stood at the free throw line and made two free throws.

Commentator Hubby-Brown said helplessly: "Hayes' strength advantage is too obvious. At the beginning, Warrick has suffered two losses. I think the Grizzlies must switch defenses. If they continue to fight like this Very bad."

The situation of the game was as expected, the Rockets opened the game with a huge inside advantage to beat the Grizzlies.

Hayes' Barkley-style back hit became more and more proficient, scoring 6 points in a row, and destroyed Warrick with his muscles.After playing for only 2 minutes, Warrick fouled twice and ended up resting.The Grizzlies can only replace Stromile Swift, who was still in the Rockets last year.

The last time the Grizzlies commentator Hubby-Brown also laughed at Hayes' height, thinking that he is not suitable for playing inside.Even if the Rockets won, he didn't say anything good about Hayes, describing Hayes as a blue-collar who can only do dirty and tiring work, a role player with no offensive ability.Now, less than a month later, he no longer knows what language to use to describe Hayes.

Hayes is very short, but he can hit the 203cm Warrick without any power to fight back.

Not to mention Swift coming off the bench.His physical fitness is inversely proportional to his IQ. He fights indiscriminately on offense and doesn't know where to stand when defending. When he was in the Rockets, he could only serve as a substitute for veteran Juwan Howard.

In 2009, this dude went to the Chinese CBA even more awesomely. How far is it from N to C?
You know, Howard is now Hayes' substitute, and the two are facing each other. How much can Swift do?

"Don't think that having the same surname as Taylor (Swift) will let you go, even if your father's surname is Xuan, I will still beat you up today." Hayes muttered Chinese, and the inside line asked for the ball to use "sea footsteps" , After shaking Swift up, the jump shot also caused Swift to foul.The penalty is also hit.

The second time Hayes repeated the same trick, attracted Miller to help defend, hit the ball to Battier hit a three-pointer.

The Grizzlies, who were able to reach the playoffs last year, have fallen to the point where they can only be an enemy of the Rockets.Hayes scored 16 points in a single quarter. After the first quarter, the Rockets had a 34-18 lead.If Yao Ming didn't feel bad today and missed a few shots, this number would have to increase.

More importantly, several insiders of the Grizzlies each carried two fouls, and their morale was completely lost.

Morale is an invisible thing, but this kind of thing determines the success or failure of the game to a large extent.The morale of the team is high, and the psychological effect of the game tends to be positive; on the contrary, the psychological effect of the game is often negative, which hinders the players' game actions.

Whoever cannot master himself is forever a slave.

In the second quarter, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady went off the court, and Hayes stayed on the court to attack with his hands hot.In the first three games, he has built up his confidence on the offensive end. When facing Warrick and Swift, he used his strength to attack hard and squeezed into the low post to attack.Chakalidis, who is 218cm tall, defended him, and he pulled it out...

"Pass the ball!" Hayes ran back and shouted.

Alston passed the ball, and Hayes caught the ball without a pick-and-roll, just a disguised dribble that swayed Chakalidis by a position and made a jumper for a three-pointer.

Basketball hollow into the net.

The Grizzlies' home court was quieter than the previous few games. The sound of basketball brushing across the net was very soft, but the fans seemed to hear it, and the sound reached everyone's heart through their sight.Some are excited, some are depressed.

Hayes is not perfect, and his shortcomings can be seen by everyone.

However, the Grizzlies couldn't guard him anyway.

As long as it's one-on-one, no one else can.

The fast ones are not as strong as him, and the strong ones are not as fast as him.

In today's game, he is invincible!

Grizzlies will be tortured crazy by Hayes.They can double-team, but if they do that, Hayes will give up the strong play, pass the ball out, and lead a few times, and the other four will be an open shot.

Jeff Van Gundy watched the Rockets' advantage continue to expand, and his body was trembling with excitement.He feels that the Rockets have no obvious shortcomings.

Van Gundy looked at McGrady who was sitting next to him with the same excited face, suddenly remembered that incident, and asked, "Tracey, I put you off the court and use Chuck as the core of the offense, what do you think? No Will you blame me for not using you?"

McGrady looked at Jeff Van Gundy, took a breath, and said lazily: "Coach, what are you talking about? When you need me, you will naturally send me on the court, won't you?"

"I'm relieved if you think so. This year is our best opportunity. To be honest, I'm really afraid that the Rockets will have the same conflicts as the Lakers." Jeff Van Gundy said earnestly, and he simply had a showdown with Tracy McGrady.

McGrady smiled. He knew that Jeff Van Gundy was talking about Kobe and "Shark" O'Neal.O'Neal and Kobe have been like two high school girls who are at odds with each other, bickering throughout their careers.The most classic is that in the movie "Scary Movie 4", O'Neill made a cameo appearance as himself being kidnapped. After waking up, he immediately suspected that Kobe was the kidnapper and called Kobe's name.

When Kobe just graduated from high school in 96, they got along relatively harmoniously. O'Neill played the role of the big brother, and everyone staged a good show of brotherly love.But when Kobe turned into a superstar, the old adage that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers was once again verified.In the end, Kobe took over and the "Shark" traveled eastward.Kobe's status has improved, but the Lakers have been sluggish and withdrew from the ranks of the championship.

If there is a competition for the "boss", the Rockets may be more serious than the Lakers. The Lakers combine the two internally and externally, but Hayes can play multiple positions, and sometimes overlaps with Tracy McGrady on the offensive end.

Tracy McGrady was still sleepy, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is Houston, what am I fighting for? It doesn't matter who is the core, the important thing is to win."

The offense is mainly on the inside. McGrady has reduced his shot opportunities for several consecutive games. He clearly feels that his status in the team is changing. He has changed from being a star player to sharing power with Yao Ming. His head went up.This change did make him a little uncomfortable, but McGrady would not express these thoughts, nor could he express them.What can he say?The Rockets played well in the new season.Could it be that he changed back to the old way and let the players watch him play singles when the team's momentum was like a rainbow and the opponents playing with the new tactics were crying?

McGrady wants to prove himself, but he will not be so stupid as to ask the head coach.

"Everything is for the team to win!" McGrady said to himself.If the Rockets can easily win, he is the beneficiary.This kind of victory is much more comfortable than letting him play hard for 40 minutes, take [-] or [-] shots and score [-] or [-] points to lead the team to a narrow victory.Now this kind of offense is the way to hit the championship.

As the two-time scoring champion, Tracy McGrady already has a personal honor. In this regard, he doesn't need to prove anything.McGrady knew very well that the highest honor for a player to play is the championship ring, not the scoring champion.

A good teammate like Hayes is hard to come by. If McGrady thinks about this, he won't have any complaints.If Hayes can play better than him, as good as Jordan, he will be happier and willing to be Pippen for the rest of his life.

Hearing McGrady's statement, Jeff-put Gandhi completely relieved.

灰熊队请求暂停，火箭46比25领先21分了。第二节还剩7分钟，海耶斯个人已拿下22分。

Hayes was substituted for a rest, Novak was substituted, and Bunche Wells, who had just been lifted, was on the field.After a long conversation, Jeff Van Gundy didn't want to freeze Wells anymore.Not only did he not refrigerate, Van Gundy also asked Wells to use his personal ability to attack more, so that he could brush his data.

"Are you too aggressive today?" Yao Ming said in Chinese, sitting next to Hayes.The two talked in Chinese, and Jeff Van Gundy couldn't understand whether they were chatting or talking about basketball tactics, so he wouldn't blame them for being distracted.

"Hehe, I'm overwhelmed. If the fight continues like this, we brothers must have rested early, save our firepower, and continue to fight the Bucks tomorrow." Hayes also said in standard Mandarin.

Now Yao Ming's best buddy in the United States is Hayes.He can speak Chinese, play game consoles, and has a cheerful personality, which makes Yao Ming feel very kind.

After a few minutes, Jeff Van Gundy interrupted the conversation between the two, saying: "Stop talking, I'll stop talking later, and go up and deal with them in one go. Tracy should go up too."

Before the end of the second quarter, the Grizzlies had relied on Mike Miller and Rudy Gay's shots to narrow the score to 16 points, and Swift also dunked a basket on Novak's head.

The main force of the Rockets appeared again. Under the triple impact of Yao Ming's jumper, McGrady's breakthrough and Hayes' power, the Grizzlies, who had just started chasing points, lost hope again.

102 to 71, the Rockets broke through three quarters, leading by more than 30 points.

The atmosphere at the Grizzlies' home court was as depressing as a funeral home.

The fourth quarter became garbage time.Both sides sent a full bench lineup, coach Ivan Ronnie and the main players went to the corner and hugged in a circle and cried.

There are also Grizzlies fans who are also suffering. They miss Gasol, miss Battier, and think why Hayes is not the Grizzlies. They are willing to trade Rudy Gay...

In the fourth quarter, Bunch Wells, Kirk Snyder, Azubuike, Spanoulis, and Novak staged a big show at the Grizzlies' home court-"Rocket Run".They didn't save face for the home team at all. They kept attacking the fragile defense line composed of the Grizzlies' substitutes with constant speed. Their scoring efficiency was actually higher than that of the main players in the first three quarters. The Rockets shot one more three-pointer in total.Especially Bunche Wells, who played for the Rockets for the first time, held back his energy and scored 12 points and 7 rebounds in a single quarter, with 11 points and 5 rebounds in the game.

The Grizzlies home basket is as wide as the ocean. 140 to 91, the Rockets slaughtered the Grizzlies with an incredible score in the away game.

麦迪只打了17分钟，8中5，三分球2中1，罚球2中1，12分2篮板4助攻1抢断。

姚明21分钟，12中5，罚球6中6，16分7篮板1助攻3盖帽。

海耶斯28分钟，17中12，三分球4中2，罚球7中5，31分6篮板4助攻1抢断。

Eight Rockets scored in double figures.The American media exclaimed after the game-the Houston Rockets lifted off!
Hayes was named the best player again. After the game, he attended the press conference with Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and Jeff Van Gundy.This is the largest number of people attending a press conference for the Rockets.

Several families in the venue were happy and others were sad.After all, this is the home court of the Grizzlies, and only coach Ivan Ronnie was present on the Grizzlies side.His face was livid, and after a few concluding remarks, he hurriedly gave up the place to the Rockets.

"Mr. Chuck Hayes, how do you feel about starring in such an amazing game?" After a big victory, Jeff Van Gundy was already grinning from ear to ear, and the reporter hadn't spoken yet. He picked up a microphone and entertained himself at Hayes.

The reporter smiled and said, "Mr. Hayes, please answer the question that Coach Van Gundy asked just now."

"It feels terrible. I was going to brush the data, but he forced me to replace it." Hayes said with a serious expression, pointing at Jeff Van Gundy, and after a second, he and Jeff Van Gundy Laughed out loud.

Jeff Van Gundy, the famously staid coach, laughed wildly in front of the camera for the first time.The audience flashed continuously, and the cameras frantically shot.

The reporter asked again: "Coach Van Gundy, who is the boss among the current Rockets players?"

"Of course Dikambe - Mutombo, have to listen to him." Jeff - Van Gundy laughed.

The reporter smiled and said, "I mean, who is the core of the Rockets players? Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, or Hayes?"

Jeff Van Gundy touched his bald head and said in a daze, "I don't know either. They happened to be here today. Why don't you ask them."

The reporter first gave the camera to Yao Ming.Yao Ming had an inspiration and said with a smile: "Chuck Hayes is the core of the Rockets now. I am lucky to have such a teammate. I am proud of his performance today."

There was an uproar in the audience, and the reporters gave McGrady the camera again.

Yao Ming coughed, McGrady looked at Yao Ming, and the two looked at each other with a heart-to-heart smile.McGrady pointed his thumb at Hayes and said, "I agree with Yao Ming. He is the core."

The two of them were deliberately trying to get Hayes into the headlines.

At this moment, the reporters in the venue were all stunned, and after the stunned, they were all excited.The cameras and video cameras in the photographer's hands were all aimed at Hayes!

People invariably think of the same question.

Could it be that Hayes' strength has reached this level?

He has completely convinced the two All-Star players in team training?
The basic salary ace player who only played 4 games in the new season?
This could definitely make the sports headlines of the year.

"Mr. Hayes, both of them said that you are the new core of the Rockets. Do you have anything to say about this?"

After being spoofed by Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, Hayes rubbed his face with his hands, and also developed a spoof mentality.

At this time, Adidas has a classic ad that seems to have not been launched yet... Hayes thought about the words, faced the camera, set up the POSS, smiled and said: "You are being played. Whenever I shoot and score [-] points, you Do you really think I did it alone? Seriously, the game is five people, believe it or not."

The reporters were a little taken aback.

Hayes cleared his throat, and then said: "The two of them mean that I am the core today. The Rockets do not have a fixed core. I am in good shape today, and I am the core. Next game will be Yao Ming. The next game may be Tracy McGrady. And Alston, Battier, Bunch - Wells... and all the Rockets players, we are a whole, we are friends, we are brothers. Whoever is in good condition, it is possible Be the core of a game. No brothers, no basketball! Everything we do is for the victory of the game!"

After Hayes finished speaking in one breath, all the empty-handed people clapped vigorously.Everyone can feel the unprecedented unity within the Rockets, and they are likely to become a strong contender for the championship.

After the video of this press conference was broadcast, Adidas contacted the leadership of the Rockets in only two days, and expressed their sincerity that they would like to invite the Rockets to shoot the new Adidas advertisement, which is called "The game is five people. of".

This is later.
