Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 190 [Back to original form]

The Bobcats ended the first quarter with a 34-point lead 24 to 10.

The Magic's offense has encountered a problem.Whether it's Dwight Howard or Tony Batty, the Bobcats can choose to let them go when they go to the high pick-and-roll. Batty's mid-range shooting ability has degraded with age; Must be able to shoot mid-range, but very unstable, if he chooses to use the mid-range shot to attack, the Bobcats are too late to be happy.

At 5 minutes and 05 seconds into the first quarter, Howard scored two points with a tip-up, 4 points and 5 rebounds in the first quarter.Hayes only took two shots and didn't score a point, but grabbed 5 rebounds and sent 7 assists.

D'Antoni arranged for Hayes to attack the inside and foul Howard.But Hayes changed another style of play according to the situation on the field, restraining Howard's defense and allowing others to attack.

The Magic replaced Foyle and Garrity.The strength of the inside line dropped several levels at once.The Bobcats went up and down, and the second team consisting of Biedrins, Landry, Barnes, Weaver and Felton came on the stage.The Bobcats' "bench gangster" name has already started, and the only team that dares to make such substitutions without losing competitiveness is the Bobcats.

"Jose, when you play again, you have to make bold shots. It doesn't matter if you can't make a shot. When you are out of space, you must shoot resolutely and bring up your speed." D'Antoni said.

"Stan must be depressed at the moment. I think any coach will not know what to do when he encounters someone like Chuck." Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

Jeff - Van Gundy knows his brother very well, Star - Van Gundy is really depressed.Four people were ambushing the outside line to attack in turn. Hayes just passed the ball and rushed inside to prepare for a strong rebound.Bargnani didn't play in the first three games, but playing the Magic has become the number one offensive point.Except for Howard, the Magic's other inside players are very slow and unable to defend the outside line. How to deal with Bargnani has become a problem.

"Hedo (Turkoglu), you play power forward to mark Bargnani, outside Trevor (Ariza) to defend Hayes, and Dwight inside." This is the way Stan Van Gundy came up with.Turkoglu's weight is a bit disadvantageous for playing the 4th position, but against Bargnani, there will be no problem.Ariza playing can also add firepower to the team's offense.The Magic need Howard to be the last line of defense inside.

D'Antoni is also talking about tactics to the main players. "If the Magic make adjustments and prevent Howard from going inside to defend, all five players will pull to the outside to shoot and give up the competition for offensive rebounds. It will not be easy for Howard to grab offensive rebounds in the interior. If he does not come out, the rebounds will be lost. Let him go, we have a numerical advantage on the perimeter, we can guarantee the offensive efficiency and quickly return to the defense, and when defending, we still use the same tactics as before, man-to-man.”

Bobcats attack, Carter staring at Weaver.Weaver averaged 12 points per game this season and is the best sixth man for the Bobcats. The Magic did not dare to relax for him, and specially set up defensive tactics.After Weaver got rid of Carter's defense with Landry's cover, Garrity immediately filled the defense.

Felton passes the ball to Landry in the high post from the left.Biedrins ran to the middle and received a through pass from Landry in the three-second zone.

When Biedrins first arrived in the Warriors, he was always suppressed by Foyle.Can only be used as a substitute for a limited time.Under the appreciation of the old Nelson last season, he finally grabbed the starting position.The two had been teammates for three years, and Biedrins knew all about Foyle.

After receiving the ball, Biedrins quickly turned around and entered the basket. The old Foyle couldn't keep up with his speed at all. Biedrins' free throw missed, 36 to 24.

"If the Magic play with these substitutes for a while, I don't think I need to play again. Don't do this, I haven't scored today." Hayes smiled easily.

"Don't score today, just get assists. Let's shoot as soon as we catch the ball, and let you score 20." Azubuike suggested next to him.

"I think it will work." Gerald Wallace also smiled.Hayes's data is close to a triple-double, but the assists are still worse.If you can really get a triple-double in the season, it would be amazing.Who doesn't want to watch a miracle happen?The previous triple-double king of the league was Jason Kidd. Hayes has already played six triple-doubles at the start of the game, which is much better than Kidd.

Listening to the players discussing the stats, D'Antoni was not angry, but rather happy.Against the Magic with Carter and Howard, they can still play so easily.The strength of the Bobcats has far exceeded his expectations, and he feels that the Bobcats are now more than the sun.

At present, the Magic only has one offensive point on the court and that is Vince Carter.Both Bogans and Arroyo on the outside lack offensive power.The defense isn't great either.

The five substitutes on the Bobcats field all have their own specialties.

After Okafor left, Felton played hard for his own future.

Why should a point guard from North Carolina, my prestigious school, be used as a substitute for a Spaniard?He can fit into the tactical system, and of course I can too.Felton dribbled the ball beyond the right three-point line, observing his teammates' running positions.

D'Antoni talked to Felton.He believes that Felton needs to hold the ball and go inside to score. If there will be a conflict with Hayes in the starting game, the team hopes that Felton can become an assaulter like Barbosa.Felton is as fast as Barbosa, but his shooting ability is worse, but Felton also has his own advantage, that is, passing.Barbosa is more like a shooting guard, and Felton's points after the breakthrough are better.

Felton didn't use his teammates to pick and roll. Arroyo, who was dribbling in disguise on the right side, almost fell to the ground. After breaking through, he slid to the baseline and gave the ball to Weaver in the left corner in time. Weaver made a jumper.

The Magic failed to attack three times in a row. When Biedrins grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked successfully, the score was getting bigger and bigger, and the Magic finally called a timeout.

One phenomenon this season is that the Bobcats played particularly well at the beginning of the second quarter.Most teams will replace the core players to rest during this time period, and replace them with substitutes to deal with their opponents. The Bobcats' substitutes often catch opponents by surprise.When the Bobcats had a large salary in their hands in the summer, they only signed one star, Hayes, but re-signed a large number of role players with low salaries. Under the run-and-gun offensive system, these role players have played their due role.

After the timeout ended, the Magic sent Howard.Under the defense of Biedrins, Howard found the feeling, grabbed offensive rebounds and scored second offenses in a row, leading the team to recover some points.

Six minutes into the second quarter, the Bobcats led 6 to 46 by 40 points, and the main players were almost rested.D'Antoni requested a timeout, made adjustments to the lineup, and sent all the main players back to the court.

"I'm back again." Hayes smiled at Howard.

Howard didn't smile this time.Hayes was so small that he couldn't help laughing.Playing Hayes alone is more difficult than playing against Biedrins.

Stan Van Gundy also found it difficult for Howard to play Hayes alone, so he focused his offense on the outside and let Howard only support the offense and grab rebounds.

After the start of the game, all five players of the Bobcats pulled up to the high position, and Howard guarded the basket according to the coach's arrangement, feeling that he was let out again.

"Give up the inside?" Stan Van Gundy was taken aback. In this way, the Magic still played more outside.Turkoglu guards Bargnani, but the Bobcats aren't going to let him. Gerald Wallace sets a screen for Bargnani, who gets away from Turkoglu and heads toward Hayes. run.Hayes stood still, waiting for Bargnani, handed the ball to Bargnani with both hands, and blocked Carter and Ariza, who came off the bench, with his body.

Bargnani caught the ball and made a three-pointer, and the ball hit again. 49 to 40.

Hayes stood still, handed the ball out and added an assist, and the Bobcats played too easily.Stan Van Gundy wanted to tear his hair out with both hands.After all, he held back, because his brother is so bald.

Howard went to the high post to cover for Nelson. In terms of defense, Calderon is undoubtedly the weakest point of the Bobcats.Hayes gave up defending Howard and followed Nelson.

If Howard rushes up, there is nothing you can do, right?Nelson took two steps, turned back and handed the ball to Howard who started at high speed and rushed to the inside.Howard received the basketball, and he had only one thought, dunk!Raging the hoop!
dream!Gerald Wallace burst out from the side.He is a person who plays desperately. Even if the opponent is Howard of Warcraft, he dares to bring his opponent down.

Howard was pulled down in the air by Wallace as soon as he jumped.

"You still have too many shortcomings." Hayes laughed beside Howard.

This sentence was like a thorn in Howard's heart, and he was sent to the free throw line.The first free throw was missed, the second free throw was also missed, Hayes scored the rebound.

Howard is "the first center in the league"?In this game, he exposed all his flaws.The first is a single offensive method, which can only go to the basket to shoot or dunk.In addition, his confrontation ability is also overestimated.As the "rebound king" of the new season, Howard's dominance at the basket of the "devil muscular man" originally convinced everyone.However, when he met Hayes, who was 198cm tall, people discovered that Howard could not do as he imagined.In the competition of brute force, Hayes does not fall behind; in the competition of skills, Howard can't compare with Hayes.Howard was at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two.

And Howard's free throws...the percentage is too low.

As a powerful center, while Howard took over the scepter of power, he also seems to have inherited the tradition of O'Pang's inaccurate free throws.Last season, Howard got 10 free throw opportunities per game, but he only got the ball into the basket 6 times, and his shooting percentage was only 58%, setting a career low.

Can a "superstar" who cannot take on offensive responsibilities be considered a qualified team leader?Not only is Howard not the core of the Magic's offense, he is often the target of the opponent's "hack and kill" at critical moments.Only in the second quarter, the Bobcats resorted to the "beast cut" tactics.Anyway, he is not allowed to make free throws.

The Bobcats fell into position.Hayes took advantage of Bargnani's cover to break through from the left and made an emergency stop for a jump shot. He didn't jump high, but his movements were very stretched. It was a kind of lightness that didn't match his body shape. He swung lightly at the highest point. Out of the right hand, the ball went in. 51 to 40.

This is the first time Hayes scored in this game, but these two points declared that the Magic's defensive system failed again.

Stan Van Gundy waving his arms from the sidelines and yelling, "Dwight, get out!"

Howard can't go out without guarding against it.Is it enough to prevent it from going out?
Turkoglu made a mid-range shot. 51 to 42.Bobcats calmly landed in the positional battle.Calderon passed the ball to Hayes and started running himself.All four Bobcats players stretched apart, leaving only Hayes at the top of the arc.

"Too easy." Hayes outside the ball, facing Howard said.

What is too easy?Howard stared at Hayes.

Hayes' stature suddenly shortened, and he took a step towards Howard's left side.Howard instinctively moved to the left with Hayes' center of gravity.

Hayes suddenly moved the center to his right foot, stopped abruptly, and quickly sent the basketball in his left hand down the step, and then jumped up with the ball in his right hand.Stop jump shot!The basketball fell gently into the hoop. 53 to 42.

Howard understood what Hayes meant by "easy."
