Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 189 [Evacuate the inside line, contain the monsters! 】

Howard got a big cap at the beginning and was almost knocked out.

What did this kid shout just now?He is also the champion?If Bargnani hadn't yelled so loudly, Howard wouldn't have remembered that this man was the No. [-] pick. It seemed that the news related to Bargnani was rarely praised.

"Keep this momentum!" Hayes gave Bargnani a thumbs up.

Bargnani nodded and re-entered the defense.The Magic pass the ball to Vince Carter.Azubuike sticks close to Carter, making it impossible for him to turn around with the ball.When the attack time was running out, Carter dribbled the ball out of the three-point line, turned around and forced a shot.

Too forced, not in the right position, and Hayes is sure to grab the rebound.Gerald - Wallace thought to himself, he was addicted to fast break, and before Carter landed, he immediately let go of Turkoglu and ran towards the Magic half court.

Hayes successfully stuck the position and won the backcourt rebound.When he landed, he found that Wallace had already rushed to the basket.At this time, Howard implemented the coach's arrangement and quickly returned to the defense, leaving Hayes empty in front of him.

run so fast?Can't live up to your trust! Hayes saw that Turkoglu was one meter away from Wallace and decided to take a gamble.He stood under the basket and threw the ball to the Magic half court with all his strength with one hand.

"Gerald!" Hayes yelled as soon as the ball was released.

Wallace, who was rushing to the basket, heard the sound, and when he turned his head, he saw the basketball flying over like a cannonball, and it was about to hit the backboard.Wallace jumped up on a conditioned reflex, caught the basketball by accident, turned halfway in the air and threw the ball with a low hand, and the basketball hit the board and fell into the basket! 2 to 0.

"My God! Wallace and Hayes came to a super long-distance lob! This is simply a quarterback and a running back (football)!" Magic live commentator Mike Breen called.

Another commentator, Mark Jackson, also exclaimed: "This may be the longest lob in history. The ball has a lot of luck. Wallace didn't even look at the basket when he shot it. It's so exciting! "

Although the away team scored, the fans also gave warm applause.

When Wallace took off, he was thinking about what kind of bad pass this kid passed, wasting an opportunity?When he received the basketball, what he thought was that I had to adjust my posture so as not to fall to my death, so he threw the ball out casually.After landing, Wallace was happy to see the ball go into the basket!Hammering his chest and yelling that the pass is good!
In the opening two rounds, the Magic suffered consecutive blows.

Howard didn't have to run back, and went directly into the Bobcats three-point line to prepare to attack.

Hayes was not in a hurry to stick close to Howard, and smiled not far away: "Have you figured out how to attack? I suggest not to go to the two sides of the three-second zone. That position is my favorite."

Howard agreed with what Hayes said, so he didn't go to the three-second zone line to ask, but pulled to a high position to cover for his teammates.

Carter used Howard's cover to break through, Hayes had just changed positions, and Carter had already stopped for a jumper.Carter jumped so high that Hayes could only look at his chin and didn't jump at all.The ball goes in. 2 to 2.

At this time, Hayes suddenly understood one thing, no wonder Bowen put his feet under Carter's feet.It's useless to try to block shots, and players like Carter's jump shots stay in the air for too long, giving people enough time to step up.Of course Hayes wouldn't do that kind of thing, it's too dirty, even if the defense works, he doesn't want to do it.

Bobcats position to attack.The previous defensive system of the Magic has always been a 122 zone defense.Howard is the most important person. His powerful rebounding and shot-blocking abilities allow the Magic to empty the interior and let him dominate the entire interior alone.

In Magic's current starting lineup, apart from Howard, there is actually no one who is known for his defense.Nelson has outstanding offensive ability and a strong body, but he is short and his defense is not strong.Carter's defense is only qualified. Since his debut, he has not been known for his defense.Tony Barty has lived up to expectations and where he was drafted.His speed is very slow, and he is not as good as Camby. The jumping ability of Chandler's big men is just better in the lower body, able to resist the position at the basket, and the defense ability is acceptable.Turkoglu's style of play is soft, and his style of play is outside, and he is not tough enough on the defensive end.Such a team currently restricts the opponent's scoring data to rank in the top 10 in the league, because Howard solves everything under the basket.

The Magic's defense is actually very simple. Nelson, Carter, and Turkoglu on the outside will try to expand their defensive areas as much as possible. It will appear on the route of the opponent's breakthrough.Howard's own speed is also very fast, and he can defend to the area where his teammates are out of position at any time, and because of Howard's ability to block shots, opponents are also very afraid.As for Batty, he has been pushing the opponent's strong inside line under the basket, waiting for an opportunity to help defend.

Today, the Magic's usual defense is not working well.Bargnani ran back and exited the three-point line. Just this move made the Magic players feel embarrassed.

Stan Van Gundy also thought about the possibility of the Bobcats playing this move before the game, but he didn't want Howard and Batty to follow him out.Batty's speed is too slow, and it is basically useless to follow out.If Howard went to Bargnani, what would Hayes do?Stan Van Gundy didn't think Barty could guard Hayes.

So today the Magic's formation is more like a 131-zone defense, with Turkoglu on the outside to defend Bargnani, Howard to defend Hayes, and Batty to be the last line of defense at the basket.But the Magic immediately realized that they had miscalculated.

Wallace also pulled up high to set a screen for Bargnani, blocking Turkoglu.After receiving the ball, Hayes attracted Howard's defensive attention but did not attack. Instead, he saw the opportunity and passed it to Bargnani on the outside.

I just have to keep the rhythm and shoot, just like in practice.Bargnani's mentality is very relaxed today. D'Antoni introduced a set of psychological hypnosis to him before.Let him often talk to himself in his heart to reduce stress.

Bargnani ignores the defender in front of him, Vince Carter.Carter is only 198cm tall, no matter how good his jumping ability is, it is difficult to cover Bargnani.The ball was thrown lightly and went into the net hollow! 5 to 2.

"Continue to fight like this." Back in defense, Hayes and Bargnani clapped their hands and said with a smile.

There was no time for the Magic to pass several times, and it was handed over to Howard.Howard was still resisted by Hayes and couldn't get into the paint.This time Howard chose to turn and throw to the bottom line.This is not the way he is good at attacking. Under the interference of Hayes, he was even less accurate. He missed the shot and Bargnani grabbed the backboard.Although he is soft, after all, his size is there. As long as he is under the basket, he can pick up a few rebounds in a game without jumping.

Several players of the Magic returned to the defense quickly, but the Bobcats failed to launch a quick counterattack.Hayes and Howard ran to the backcourt together. After losing weight, Hayes was not much slower than Howard.

Calderon stabilized the rhythm and waited for the players to take their positions.The Bobcats have a lot of players who can attack. When he feels that the counterattack success rate is not too high, he can slow down the tempo. This is his top priority and one of the reasons why he became the starter.He is more solid than Felton.

"Come and attack me." Nelson challenged Calderon.Calderon pretended not to hear and passed the ball to Hayes who was following him.

Defending Hayes, Howard dare not retreat into the inside, but he is flawed outside defense.

Hayes took the ball with his right foot and took a step forward to the right, leaned his shoulders to the right, and shifted his center of gravity forward. Howard moved half a step to the left. Hayes immediately dribbled the ball with his right crotch and handed it to his left hand. The forefoot of his left foot quickly kicked the ground , stepped forward to the left, changed direction and broke through the defense.Howard lost his center of gravity, so he could only turn around and chase.Hayes stopped and jumped up, but instead of shooting, he passed the ball to Azubuike on the other side.Howard chased the hat and rushed to nothing.

Turkoglu marked Bargnani, Carter defended Wallace, Batty retreated to the inside, and Azubuike's position was emptied.Azubuike made 41% of his three-pointers this season. He was very sure of the three-pointers in the open, and he made a slight adjustment to make the shots. 7 to 2.By the time Carter let go of Wallace and stepped forward to defend, it was already too late.All he could do was yell, hoping to make Azubuike's hands shake, but Azubuike wasn't so timid.

"Pass me the ball!" Carter yelled.

When he was in the Nets, Carter was second only to Kidd and was the second core. Now in the Magic, Howard's offense is not reliable. At this time, he needs to stand up and guide the offense.Carter also has such confidence, after all, he was hyped as Jordan's successor.If it weren't for several injuries, he might be even braver than he is now.

Azubuike followed Carter.Carter catches the ball at a 45-degree angle, and Azubuike sticks to the defense. There is no player who came out of the Rockets who can't do this move. Everyone is Battier's apprentice.

Carter can also hit back a few times, but he can't hit Azubuike, who is two centimeters shorter than him.Azubuike has been practicing solo with Hayes for a long time, and he also regards fitness as a hobby. His muscles are extremely developed. Even if he is facing an ordinary 4th position after switching positions, he dares to resist hard, but his height is at a disadvantage.Carter took a few times, turned around and hit a jumper. 7 to 4.Although the ball was scored, the shot was not easy.

This guy and Hayes got no one in the draft?Carter also felt a little uncomfortable facing Azubuike.

Azubuike is still not satisfied with his defense. He has been in charge of defending McGrady for a long time in the Rockets. When he is in good condition and can defend, in his mind, Carter is not as good as McGrady, and he should limit it better.

Magic wants to defend the Bobcats, but it will be difficult.Calderon took possession of the ball halfway, and then handed it over to the Hayes organization outside the three-point line.Hayes hasn't scored a point so far, but when he gets the ball, everyone who supports the Magic feels a headache.He didn't score, but he held Howard back.The Magic's defense has holes.

Bargnani pulls out and sets a screen for Hayes to block Howard.Hayes took the ball to the right, and the speed was not fast. Turkoglu blocked Hayes' breakthrough route in time.

Turkoglu was glad that he was on guard, but he didn't know that Hayes was secretly laughing.

If I want to play by myself, I can just stop and jump and shoot, so there is no need to slow down.What Hayes wants is to attract Turkoglu's defense.Howard didn't take Bargnani seriously at all, and rushed to Hayes after bypassing the screen, forming a double-team with Turkoglu.

At this time, Bargnani ran to the other side.As soon as he stepped into the three-point line, Hayes' touchdown pass was delivered to his hands.Bargnani caught the ball very comfortably, and made a jumper with a high emergency stop! 9 to 4.

In these few minutes, Bargnani's performance overwhelmed Howard!
---------segmentation-----------

Many people may feel that Bargnani's writing is too strong.After Bosh left, he played 35 minutes and his data rose to 21 points and 5 rebounds, which should explain the problem.A 213cm insider who can shoot suddenly and is very fast, even if he can't become an All-Star, he is also a good player.The Bobcats don't have Bosh, and no one overlaps with Bargnani.What Hayes said was just encouragement, and it was all based on his original skills. If words can change people's skills, then Okafor won't have to leave, and Biedrins will become an All-Star...

Next season, I predict that Bargnani will reach an average of 25+ points per game and get rid of the title of parallel importer. By the end of the year, my words will be verified.
