On May 5, the second round of the playoffs will kick off again, with the Bobcats playing against the Magic at home.

Hayes didn't have any strenuous activities during this time except for daily pitching practice.In the playoffs, in addition to strength, physical strength is also required.

Gao Tongxuan is in charge of cooking dinner.Hayes was chatting on the sofa with Taylor Swift in his arms. Taylor said, "Chuck, attack more tonight and try to score more than 50 points!"

"50 points doesn't mean you can get it." Hayes laughed.

"Then get a triple-double. Your teammates are so bad recently. You often miss the open shot, alas." Taylor said again.

"Gerrard and Corunna are all good. They scored less because they took too few shots. If they miss the shots, they can score a lot of points. I will be the main attacker, and the others will perform worse. Just started the game Didn't they play well when we ran and bombed?" Hayes laughed.

"Why don't you play like you did at the beginning of the game? I saw that the Bobcats scored a lot less after the All-Star Game, and the dunks were too few, not exciting enough. Landry should play more." Taylor said with a pouted.False fans like to watch the offense, as long as they play well, it doesn't matter if they don't win.Landry is the Bobcats' favorite dunk player, so he is more popular.

Hayes smiled bitterly: "When the game is particularly fierce, it is not easy to dunk, and it is easy to get injured."

Landry has a lot of problems. His judgment in defense is mediocre, he is easy to be confused, and he often gets into foul trouble when dealing with tall players. This is the main reason for his short playing time.But Landry is really passionate about playing.

Passionate players are always easy to be liked by fans.The most typical example of Hayes' previous life is "Birdman" Chris Anderson.Anderson's 08-09 season data was 6.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 2.5 blocks.He is thin, has poor single defense ability, poor confrontation ability, can't shoot, rebounds are average, and has almost nothing to do. He just blocks shots and dunks more passionately, and he has a group of fans.In 2009, the Nuggets gave Anderson a five-year, 5 million contract like a demon.In the next two years, Anderson has been a substitute in the Nuggets, and the average playing time in the most season is only 2600 minutes. The data has been declining, and the number of blocks has never exceeded two.

In fact, the Bobcat dunk is the strongest person is Moon, but he has little chance to play.If the fans know this, it is probably time to call on Moon to play.

Bobcats game is indeed lack of passion, Hayes this core player rarely dunks, like to use shooting to resolve the battle.The performance of the core will drive the rhythm of the whole team.Bobcats players regard Hayes as a role model, so they rarely dunk.Weaver, who participated in the McDonald's dunk contest, has become a pitcher.

After dinner and saying goodbye to the two beauties, Hayes went to the arena to prepare for the game.

The American media gave Hayes a very high evaluation in almost every game, and at the same time criticized other Bobcats players for not supporting Hayes enough.The more such news, the more the players can't let go.

Many people in the Bobcats failed to play at the level of Hayes' previous life.For example, Barnes, this season his data has dropped to 4.3 points and 4.2 rebounds, as if he can do nothing but defense.Moon is even more tragic, with almost no playing time.In his previous life, Moon played well in his first season with the Raptors and was selected to the league's best rookie team.He is now the most fringe fringe man.There are also point guards. The data of Calderon, Felton, and Rondo have all declined compared to their previous lives.

The only better players are Weaver and Azubuike.The two got the chance to get ahead early.

If you want to become a star, you need opportunities.Moon and Barnes are already on the verge of dying in the Bobcats.Rondo also shows signs of becoming a pure blue-collar player.The Bobcats' roster leaves room for improvement.

The Magic have a good lineup this season.

Needless to say, Dwight Howard, there is this year's most improved player Turkoglu on the front line, Vince Carter at the shooting guard, and Jamal Nelson with strong breakthrough ability at the point guard. The 4th position is the Magic's only weakness.

If Bargnani is not injured, Hayes has absolute confidence to eliminate the Magic, but now it is a little more difficult.Bargnani's injury has healed, but he has rested for too long and has not played a game. He is recovering and is in a bad state.Only 13 players can sign up for the playoffs, and the coaching staff finally decided not to let Bargnani participate in the playoffs.

Time Warner Arena has become one of the league's most attended home stadiums. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, fans arrived early and began to chant Hayes' name before the game.

Hayes, who was far away in the locker room, could hear clearly.

"Chuck. Your popularity has reached an unmatched level." D'Antoni said, looking at Hayes.

"It's really enviable. You should go to Hollywood to shoot a movie or something this holiday. With your current fame, even if you don't do anything, if you eat steak and chocolate in a restaurant, there will always be audiences watching." Ah Zubuk said.

Is it possible to eat something like this?Hayes smiled.

D'Antoni and other team members changed their clothes and said: "To deal with the Magic, it is very important to defend the outside line. Their offense is not launched from the inside. The general style of play is Howard distributes the ball from the inside to the outside. Three people attack from the outside. Pay attention to it. People, Jose (Calderon) against Nelson. Gerald (Wallace) against Turkoglu, Corunna (Azubuike) against Carter. Chuck, you still play center today against Howard. "

"With me here, it's not so easy for Howard to get inside." Hayes smiled confidently.

D'Antoni believes in Hayes' ability.Howard's weakness is obvious, and the attack distance is limited to the restricted area.Every time Hayes can prevent him uncomfortable.

"When attacking, we still use the triangle offense first. Chuck plays inside and gives the ball to outside players to shoot at any time. Gerrard should also strengthen singles to share the pressure with Chuck. In one-on-one situations, Turkog Rue and Carter should have difficulty guarding you, you have to have confidence in yourself. Andris pays attention to controlling rebounds."

When Hayes walked onto the court, the fans gave a standing ovation. The cries of MVP were deafening.

The excitement in Hayes' heart cannot be expressed in words. He played very well in the regular season, and he also played a superstar performance against the Raptors.In this case, MVP should already be in his pocket.In two years, the championship, the MVP... Although he has not won the championship and established a dynasty in the Bobcats, he seems to have stood at the pinnacle of the NBA and is the object of everyone's pursuit.

Hayes looked at Howard not far away, and felt that the monsters were not as scary as when they first met.I still remember the first time the two met in the preseason that year. Howard dunked continuously on his head, and he was helpless.Now in a one-on-one contest, he is confident that he can beat Howard.

Howard looked at Hayes, this time did not come forward to say hello.Howard was under a lot of pressure. The Magic's defensive tactics in this game were to guard against other Bobcat players and put Hayes and Howard one-on-one.The two have competed four times in the regular season, and Howard has not taken advantage of any advantages, and the data has dropped across the board.

"Are you guarding me again today?" Vince Carter said as he walked up to Azubuike.

"No, my task is to stand far away and watch you hit the jumper, anyway, you only know this." Azubuike said with a smile and sarcasm.

Most of Carter's offense this season relied on jump shots, and he rarely dunked inside, so although he averaged 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, he still missed the All-Star Game.People love Carter who can fly high, ride on a defender's neck, and slam the ball into the rim.

"I want you to look good in a while." Carter said coldly.

Before the game, players from both sides had already started competing.The last time the two teams faced each other, Carter had a bad touch. He made 18 of 5 shots. The main defender was Azubuike. Since that game, Azubuike has been dubbed a "defensive champion" name.Carter wants to use this game to regain face.

Magic starters: Nelson, Carter, Turkoglu, Batty, Howard.

Bobcats starting: Calderon, Azubuike, Wallace, Hayes, Biedrins.

At the start of the game, Howard won with a jump ball and the Magic got the ball.

Nelson hands the ball to Vince Carter.The Magic players all distanced themselves to give Carter room for singles.

Carter took the ball from the outside with both hands, feinted, and dribbled the ball from the left to the inside.Azubuike followed Carter.Carter did not change direction, protected the basketball with his body, and walked towards the baseline.Azubuike kept following, and accidentally squeezed into Biedrins under the basket. This pause delayed the time. Carter smiled slightly, took the ball and made a fallback jumper, and made a steady shot. 0 to 2.

The media loves to call Carter lazy.Not so.Carter plays very hard, and he will ponder over the game video before the game.In order to better study his opponents, Carter spent a lot of time. He watched the Bobcats' two losses to the Timberwolves several times.He wants to study and figure out the opponent's weaknesses.In addition to watching other people's videotapes, he will also watch the games he didn't play well, wanting to see where he went wrong and how he should change.

Azubuike is very tight with others in single defense, but his defense ability is average, and he often ignores the position of his teammates.Carter took advantage of that on the first turn, leading Azubuike in his teammate's direction.

Even with just his jumper, Carter is a star.His dunk is more beautiful than Jordan, but God made a joke for him, so that his knee got a kind called "bouncer's knee syndrome".Carter needs to dunk fewer dunks if he wants to prolong his career.But as long as he has the opportunity, he will not be stingy to dunk into the basket.

Hayes took the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Howard was the defender.Hayes dribbled the ball with his back, retreated and turned to face Howard.Howard stretched out his right hand to take out the ball when Hayes turned around, but Hayes pulled the ball up immediately after facing the frame, turned around Howard again, turned to the middle, and scored with an easy jumper. 2 to 2.

The Magic attacked, Carter entered the three-second zone under the cover of Howard, took the ball and threw away Hayes at full speed, and dunked the basketball with one hand before Biedrins made up the defense! 2 to 4.

Until now, Carter is still half-human and half-god.Hayes sighed and served the baseline.

Gerald Wallace ran up to Hayes and said, "Chuck, if you're guarded inside, pass the ball to me."

Hayes nodded.Go to the high post to get the ball to Wallace and set a screen for him by the way.Wallace bypassed the defensive Turkoglu and rushed into the penalty area.He jumped up at the same position as Carter's dunk just now, overwhelming Batty for a dunk! 4 to 4.

Wallace returned a dunk, and the fans applauded.Wallace's performance was not over yet, Nelson dribbled the ball across half court, ready to hand the ball to Carter.Carter is the first offensive point of the Magic.At this time, Wallace let go of Turkoglu vigilantly, put one hand across Nelson's passing route, and successfully intercepted the ball!
Howard has not yet entered the penalty area, and immediately returned to defense after seeing Wallace steal the ball.As a center, he was actually the fastest to return to the defense of the Magic, seeing Howard retreat into the penalty area.Wallace didn't pass the ball, but took the ball in the middle and ran towards the penalty area guarded by Warcraft, and jumped up with all his strength.

Wallace is going to dunk Howard!
