Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 229 [Double-team Haiye!Gamble three points! 】

Wallace is going to dunk Howard!
Howard didn't expect Wallace to make such a decision, and he was not prepared enough, but after all, he had a beast-like reaction speed, jumped high on conditioned reflex, and raised his hand to block the shot.

Wallace collided with Howard in the air as he approached the basket.

Wallace once dunked rookie Alfararo against the Timberwolves.But this time is different. Howard is a well-known devil and muscular man in the league.The basketball came out of his hands, and both fell to the court.The difference is that Howard sat down under the basket after landing on one foot after being buffered, but Wallace landed first with his left elbow...

When Hayes saw the two collide, he had a foreboding feeling.Unfortunately, he was too far away to catch Wallace.The fall was obviously very serious.

Wallace was helped off the court by the Bucks' medical staff, who held his arm and walked directly to the locker room.

Howard was called only one common foul.Judging from the slow-motion playback, Howard didn't make extra hand movements, but simply wanted to stop Wallace.But Wallace charged so hard that he completely lost his balance.He might have landed on his head if he hadn't supported himself on his elbow.

The game just started, the Bobcats lost their second master.Fans in the auditorium collectively booed Howard.The Bobcats seem to be particularly unlucky when it comes to magic.Bargnani was reimbursed for a serious injury while playing the Magic in the regular season, and now the Bobcats have folded Wallace again.

Hayes was stunned for a long time, things happened too fast.His first thought was: Bobcats can't win a championship this season.With Wallace in, the Bobcats don't have an advantage against the Timberwolves, let alone without Wallace?Now the Bobcats, apart from him, only have Azubuike, Weaver, Calderon and other offensive helpers averaging about 10 points per game.Hayes looked at his teammates again, everyone had confusion on their faces.Including D'Antoni and Van Gundy...do they all think we are done for this season?
Thinking of the Timberwolves, Hayes thought of Iverson, the man who never gave up!Don't be discouraged.The current form of the Bobcats is indeed very unfavorable, but we have not been eliminated, as long as we have not been eliminated, there is hope!
"Let's all cheer up. Although Gerrard was injured, we didn't lose! This season is not over yet. Without Gerrard, we can still settle the Magic!" Hayes shouted.

The teammates were stunned for a moment.

"Don't be dazed. We can win! It's not time to give up, and I'm still here!" Hayes roared.

"That's right... Chuck's right. Matt (Barnes) comes on. Keep an eye on Turkoglu," D'Antoni said.

At this time, the referee announced the restart of the game.The Bobcats needed someone to take Wallace's two free throws.Hayes took on the task.Made two free throws. 6 to 4.

The Magic attacked, and the audience boos again.When Howard walked up to Hayes, with an apology on his face, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Chuck, I really didn't mean it."

"I know." Howard, a "treasure" who can pretend to be a superman and perform dunks, of course Hayes knows that he is not the kind of person who intentionally hurts people, but it is useless to say anything now.In this round of the series, the Bobcats are inevitably at a disadvantage.

The Bobcats players quickly adjusted their state and defended hard on the defensive end. Barnes entangled Turkoglu and successfully interfered with his mid-range shot.Hayes grabbed the backboard.

Barnes' defense is also very strong, but he is far worse than Wallace in terms of offense.His 36.6 percent 30-point shooting for the Warriors last season was more of a character explosion.He's shooting less than [-] percent from the perimeter this season.With Biedrins inside, the Bobcats have two offensive weaknesses.

Stan Van Gundy will naturally not let go of this opportunity.Arrange for Turkoglu to double-team Hayes immediately.Azubuike and Calderon were also strictly guarded from the outside.The Magic relied on quick rotations to loosen the defenses of Barnes and Biedrins.

After Hayes attracted double-teams and passed the ball outside, Calderon passed Barnes again, and Barnes got open shots many times.But his hit rate is really not flattering.If the ball is passed inside, Tony Barty will foul Biedrins.Biedrins is worse than Howard at the free throw line.

The Bobcats also had problems on the defensive end.Nelson and Carter frequently used the pick-and-roll to break into the paint and try to foul Hayes.Biedrins also fouled twice and was replaced.Bobcats can only send Gortat play.

The Magic studied the Bobcats' defensive weaknesses and came prepared.Howard no longer singled out Hayes, but acted as a blue collar, pulling to the outside again and again to cover his teammates, and after Hayes switched defenses, he went to the basket to look for opportunities.As a result, Howard was liberated on the offensive end.

Under the heavy pressure, Gortat stepped in and took orders.His 3.6 points and 4.2 rebounds this season can only be regarded as barely passing. How to fight against Warcraft?
Although the Bobcats played very hard, but at the end of the half, they were still 52 points behind 68 to 16.

When Wallace was on the court, people thought he was nothing special except dunks, but when he was gone, people realized how important Wallace's defense was to the Bobcats.On the outside, Wallace can mark the opponent's arrows, and when changing defenses, he can also resist people inside, and send a morale-boosting hat in the assist defense.Now all that is gone.

Barnes played, the Bobcats were weak offensively.If Azubuike plays the 3rd position, Turkoglu, who is 196cm tall and defends 208cm, is another loophole.

"Chuck, you can attack from the outside in the second half. Use reverse running tactics in positional battles, Carl (Landry) and Andris pick and roll, Chuck, you shoot boldly. When defending, Chuck defends the third position, anytime Get ready for the fast break. We're going to play as fast as we can. Use the speed to break through their zone defense. Jose and Corunna also have to shoot three-pointers boldly." D'Antoni said.The Magic took a tight double-team inside, and he decided to bet on three-pointers.There is no way around this.

Hayes' eyes almost flared, and he scored only 12 points in the first half.He told his teammates not to give up, but it was really difficult to ensure offensive efficiency.The only way is for him to play the third position and let Landry, who is more offensive, play power forward.

He used his footsteps and throws to score a few goals under the double-team, but every time he was double-teamed by two or three people, and even his physical strength was exhausted faster than before.Azubuike made two three-pointers and scored 10 points in the half, but his contribution was limited to this. On the defensive end, Azubuike failed to guard Carter and was always thrown away when changing positions.

Vote!A firm shot!Then defend desperately!This is the only way.

At the end of the intermission, Hayes walked onto the court and saw the Magic players smiling happily. They had already seen the dawn of victory.The smile was uncomfortable, the booing was even louder, the Magic were outmatched, but that's basketball.

"Don't be frowning, pass the ball to me. Then run, as long as you run out of space, I will pass the ball. You must also be firm on the outside shot." Hayes said.He won't pass to Biedrins.No matter who the Magic's [-]th player is, there is only one task, to face Biedrins and foul when he catches the ball.

Bobcats go first.Hayes started to run back to the outside line in the first round.Biedrins blocks Howard.However, this kind of cooperation does not allow Hayes to get open. The Magic is playing zone defense, and there are three people who always stand on the outside.At this time, Landry then screened for Hayes from a high position.

Calderon saw the opportunity and sent the ball to Hayes the moment Landry screened.This opportunity is hard to find, and Calderon can do it, which is one of his strongest abilities.Hayes caught the ball and threw Turkoglu away, stepped out of the three-point line in one step, turned around and jumped up, and made a three-pointer with a fallback.Although Carter, who is on the weak side, is as tall as Hayes and has much better jumping ability, he is still powerless with such a shot.The ball went in! 55 to 68.

Terrible guy, the fadeaway three is beautiful.But how many goals can he score?If we can't prevent our attack, we still have to lose.Stan Van Gundy thought.He looked over to the Bobcats' bench, where his younger brother Jeff Van Gundy folded his hands and frowned at the court.This is Jeff Van Gundy's expression when he is helpless.

The Magic scored again.Nelson broke into the basket through a screen and made a layup.Biedrins chose to evade at the last moment.Biedrins believes that the Bobcats have lost the game.He didn't want to take the risk of fouling to commit fouls. He had committed three fouls before, and he didn't want to end the game early. 55 to 70.

"Defense! Why don't you block?" Hayes roared.It's not the first time he's yelled at Biedrins.

Biedrins said nothing.His heart is no longer in the Bobcats.There are always players in the league who fight for stats and money. This kind of person is a cancer.Although Biedrins' problems are not as serious as the league's well-known cancer, he has selfish intentions.

If Biedrins is replaced, the Bobcats' inside line will be even more difficult to play.

Calderon dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Hayes.This time the Magic stepped up their defense against Hayes from the perimeter, and Hayes failed to rely on his teammates to cover for a shot.Holding the ball, he took a tentative step to the left with his left foot, swung his shoulder and changed direction to dribble, easily tricked Turkoglu, and broke into the penalty area in the middle.Hayes holds the ball with both hands, Howard and Tony Batty double-team together, and Turkoglu and Carter encircle and suppress behind him.

Hayes turned around and jumped up, passing the ball again.He drew a four-team.Azubuike gets an open shot.He adjusted, and the three-point handball went hollow into the net. 58 to 70.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Hayes and Azubuike clapped their hands and quickly returned to defense.

At this time, Gao Tongxuan and Taylor Swift were also watching the game in front of the TV.The two leaned against each other, holding hands nervously.

"Can the Bobcats still win today?" Taylor asked.

"He will find a way, he is Shrek!" Gao Tongxuan said with a smile: "We are here to cheer him on, he will feel it."

Hayes can't think of who will cheer for him, he only knows one thing now-scoring!
Turkoglu missed a shot, Hayes saw the opportunity and quickly counterattacked.Landry grabs the rebound and makes a long pass to Hayes.The Magic returned to the defense very quickly. Nelson, Carter, and Howard had all retreated to the inside. Calderon and Azubuike's fast break was a little slower, and they followed closely behind.

Hayes forced his way to the basket, forcing the Magic to flank the three together.

Hayes yelled, jumped up suddenly, made a layup posture, avoided Howard's big hand in the air, turned halfway in the air, and threw the ball out hard.Azubuike ran a few steps, threw away Turkoglu who was focusing on Hayes, caught the flying basketball on the right side, adjusted his posture slightly, jumped up lightly, and then One shot from beyond the three-point line, the ball goes in! 61 to 70.Azubuike hit his fourth three-pointer of the field!

There is still hope!We can get it back.Hayes thought silently.

At this time, Howard pulls out the outside screen, Turkoglu throws off Hayes, passes Landry again, and makes a layup...
