Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 171 [Tough Sun, overtime game]

Although the score led by 3 points, Hayes was not at ease.He finally learned first-hand what it means for defense to win championships and offense to win the audience.If the offense is too fierce, the defense will naturally be full of loopholes. D'Antoni's small-ball style of play is very attractive, but also has obvious flaws.The players played well, but it was difficult to win.

If tactics are compared to martial arts, the style of the Rockets in the past is like a master who mainly trains the golden bell cover and assists in Xingyiquan;

"In the final attack, the Suns will definitely choose to shoot three-pointers, staring at the outside and emptying the inside. Corunna (Azubuike) guards Nash, Chuck guards Marion, and Andris (Biderins) guards Stadami Bill and Michael (Petrus) guard Bell. Gerald (Wallace) guards Dior. When encountering pick-and-rolls, you must be in time! Be sure to keep an eye on Nash!" D'Antoni said loudly.

He dispatched strong defensive players. In order to defend the Suns' final attack, Calderon and Felton sat on the bench.The advantage is on the Bobcats side. As long as the Suns can't make this attack, the Bobcats will win.

The Suns' tactic is to resolutely hit three-pointers.Porter arranged a pick-and-roll tactic in order to allow Nash to receive the ball smoothly. Nash is undoubtedly the player with the most sure three-pointers in the Suns, and he will definitely be strictly guarded by his opponents.Porter knew this very well, so he arranged for Nash to split the ball if he didn't make a phone call, and don't force the shot. In order to increase the firepower, he replaced Stoudemire with a pure pitcher Piakowski.Diaw topped the center position.

The timeout ends and players from both teams enter the field.D'Antoni frowned when he saw that Stoudemire was not up. All five of the Suns were capable of three-pointers. It was difficult to judge who was responsible for the final blow.

Sure enough, this change made the Bobcats players a little overwhelmed.Players from both sides lined up, Marion sent a throw-in ball, and Biedrins caught up with the new Piakowski.Nash catches the ball and dribbles the ball laterally after being covered by his teammates, which quickly attracts the two Bobcats to defend.

Nash didn't make a strong shot. He saw the opportunity and distributed the ball to Piakowski who had just played. Piakowski only played a total of 4 minutes in the game.The five Bobcats felt unfamiliar when they saw him, and it was difficult for them to attach importance to him.

But at this time, Nash just passed the ball to him.The ball was fed very comfortably. Biedrins was slow to follow the defense. Piakowski ran to the right corner and did not need to make any adjustments when receiving the ball. He immediately took off and shot.

The shot arced high and went hollow into the net. 135 to 135!

Hayes felt a heavy blow to the heart.Defense!It's defense again!

Some people say that NBA players are just a group of laborers, but this is not the case.The coach is not the only one who thinks. The coach arranges the tactics, and the person who executes them is the most critical.If the player's IQ is not high enough, no matter how good his physical fitness is, it will be difficult to play well.There are countless such examples.

The Bobcats now have a group of high-quality teams with strong single-defense capabilities, but poor defense awareness, so they are easy to be caught and score easily.

Hayes thought of a few bad-tempered stars. Kobe often complained that the players did not support him enough, and even yelled at his teammates when he was excited.Garnett has had a similar situation.It seems that this is not caused by the bad temper of the two, but that the teammates are too disappointing, which makes people have a bad temper.This is only the second season for Hayes, and he has no confidence to maintain his current good temper after a long time.

With only 2.4 seconds left in the Bobcats' attack, D'Antoni also arranged a catch tactic and sent Landry.Landry's offense is richer than Delins.

"Gerald and Carl give Chuck a pick-and-roll, and Chuck shoots the ball as soon as he catches the ball. I believe in your touch!" D'Antoni said.

"I will do my best." Hayes nodded, his expression was very calm, but his heart was not calm.

Why do people often say that players who can send lore have a "big heart"?Because the pressure at the end of the game is not something everyone can bear.Hayes' heartbeat was beating like a drum now, and he wanted to bite off his lip.He played one season in the NBA and never made a game-winning shot late in a game.

The Rockets played so well last season that they rarely stalemate with their opponents to the end. Even if they did, McGrady was the first choice for the last shot. Hayes had a free throw lore against the Pistons last season, but it was a steal Draws a foul after a rebound.

I can do it, don't be afraid, if you are afraid at this time, it proves that I am still not a superstar.There are only two seconds left in the game. If I make a shot, I am the hero. Even if I miss the shot, the Suns have no time to complete another attack.Big deal overtime, what are you afraid of?Hayes pumped himself up from the heart.

"Here we go, Chuck. Throw 'em," Wallace said, walking up to Hayes.

"Go!" Hayes shook his neck, tensing his muscles, especially his legs.His heart was still beating wildly, and this depressed feeling made him suspect that he had a heart attack.

bring it on.I was never scared when I voiced Kung Fu Panda.This one is so much easier!Believe in yourself and you will become stronger!Hayes yelled inwardly.Kung Fu Panda suddenly became stronger after being beaten by Hai Bian. The most incomprehensible thing about that movie is here.Mentality is so important? (The explanation that the panda was opened up in the air by Ren and Du's second line seems more reasonable)

Game start.Bobcats players run, Hayes received the ball under the cover of Wallace.At the moment of receiving the ball, his heart beats harder because he sees Marion right in front of him.But he didn't have time to think about it, he hastily made a jumper, and Marion also jumped up. As soon as Hayes shot the ball, Marion put his hand on the ball...

Marion raised his head to the sky and screamed, and his teammates came forward to celebrate!
Hayes' buzzer-beater was blocked, and the two sides entered overtime.

After Hayes came off the field, he sat down on a chair without saying a word.He was responsible for being blocked, but too many defensive loopholes in his teammates made the game complicated. They should have solved their opponents long ago.

"Chuck, don't worry, there is too little offensive time, you can only choose this way. Jordan's fadeaway jumper was also blocked by Marion. Forget about this block. Next, we will play well in overtime." D'Antoni Comfort Hayes said.

"Overtime, we must defend well! We must win!" Hayes said, frowning.

In fact, this is no consolation.Hayes has won a large triple-double so far, and Marion has only 18 points and 12 rebounds, which is the worst performance among the three stars of the Suns.Relying on this big hat, Marion let out a fierce breath of anger.

On the other side, after Nash praised Marion's block, he also said: "We must win."

Unlike Hayes, Nash had a relaxed smile on his face.His physical strength is almost exhausted, and so are other players, but Nash still laughs.

The reason why Nash and Hayes are different is that Hayes is used to winning easily, while Nash is used to playing games in struggle.

In contrast, Nash was in a more peaceful mood.

Nash is now a superstar in the NBA, he is a two-time MVP, but when he first entered the NBA in 1996, he lived a precarious life and always appeared in transfer rumors.Nash didn't play well that year, and the main reason was his injury. His back injury affected his performance.When the injury did not knock Nash down, but made the Canadian more and more frustrated, the gold finally shined.

Hayes is different, his first season is too smooth.So when it became difficult to win after the transfer, he had a psychological gap.Although his data is the most beautiful in the game.

"Chuck, what are you depressed about?" Van Gundy asked, sitting next to Hayes.

"Our defense is too bad. It's so difficult to win. Shouldn't we be depressed? The strength of the Suns is not as good as last season." Hayes whispered.

"This is not the Rockets. The Bobcats can play like this with the Suns. It's already amazing. This is just the beginning, and we will be stronger in the future. You can listen to the voice in the stands. Now the fans are still calling your name. You It's been playing well!"

Hayes noticed the audience outside.It is indeed hotter than the Rockets' home court.

The Bobcats were just a poor team last season, and now they can compete with the Suns, and the fans have had fun in the game.As soon as Hayes got the ball, the crowd cheered.All the fans are crazy about him.When the Suns made a three-pointer, many fans at the scene were actually happy.Because this game is too exciting, they don't want the game to end early, and playing overtime means that Hayes' statistics will increase. Fans watching the game prefer to play wonderfully and personal heroism.Hayes' current performance is in line with the appetite of the fans, and now they finally have a superstar they can support.

Hearing the cheers of the audience, Hayes' heart calmed down.

"I understand, if the defense is not good, use another way to win the game." Hayes said: "Jeff, we have to train the defense during training!"

Overtime begins.Both sides fielded the starting lineup at the beginning of the game.

The Bobcats go first and Calderon dribbles the ball across the frontcourt.In this game, his assist ability was not fully utilized. Hayes played very well in the first half.Star performance will affect the opponent, but also affect teammates.Calderon automatically passed the ball to Hayes instead of a better-positioned teammate because, in his subconscious mind, Hayes was more sure of it.

This time Calderon passed the ball to Hayes again.Hayes dribbled two steps behind the ball, and Bell came up to double-team.Hayes returns the ball to Calderon.Calderon passed Pietrus, who missed a three-pointer.

Marion took the backboard and handed it to Nash to fight back.Now Nash's speed has also slowed down a lot, the Suns have also fallen into positional warfare, and Stoudemire has pulled up to a high position. The pick-and-roll cooperation between him and Nash is the most effective tactic for the Suns' positional warfare.

"Swapping!" Hayes yelled.

Pietrus quickly switched to Nash.Hayes lived in Stoudemire, and Calderon bypassed the pick-and-roll directly and ran to Raja Bell on the weak side.Bell's offense is mainly fixed-point shooting, which is a relatively easy defensive task.Nash dribbled the ball to Marion who pulled to the left foot, Wallace took another step slower to defend from the weak side, and Marion made a three-pointer. 135 to 138.The Bobcats are behind!

Hayes looked at the defensive performance of his teammates and scratched his head anxiously.In his previous life, he remembered that Gerald Wallace was said in the news to be an underrated player with outstanding defensive ability. Now Hayes feels that he is not as famous as he met him. Wallace’s single-defense ability is good, but his ability to assist defense is not legendary. So strong, maybe because it's only 2007 and his abilities haven't been developed for safety yet.

In any case, the defensive tactics arranged by D'Antoni failed again.

The Bobcats use a variant of the 131 zone defense.The purpose is to defend Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll.Judging from this round, the effect is not good, because several people in the Suns can pull the outside to shoot, and Biedrins must follow the defense.But if you go out with the defense, you can't defend against Nash's breakthrough, and you can't prevent Stoudemire from rushing inside to Biedrins...

Who said Biedrins was a defensive center?It's basically a big colander, nothing special except that it runs fast.In the previous life, the Warriors signed a big contract with Biedrins, which is pure brain damage!thought Hayes.

The Bobcats attacked from the ground, and Hayes used Wallace's pick-and-roll to break through from the right. After Dior switched defenses, Hayes transferred the ball to Biedrins in the middle of the basket.

Relying on his height advantage, Biedrins turned around and hit a throw, and finally made a little contribution on the offensive end, 137 to 138.

Both sides took a deep breath, and the game entered a fever.At this time, whoever can defend the opponent's attack will win the game!
