Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 231 [Regular season MVP is a booster! 】

On May 5, the NBA officially announced the results of the selection of the best player in the regular season of the 9-07 season.

Chuck Hayes was successfully elected as the MVP of the regular season, Chris Paul of the Hornets ranked second, and No.3 was Yao Ming of the Hawks.

Yao Ming ranked second behind teammate McGrady in the MVP selection last season.He lost again this season to Paul and Hayes.However, Yao Ming did not feel regretful about this. He said in an interview: "Hayes is the most qualified person to win the MVP. He is unsolvable offensively and strong defensively. There is no better player than him this season. Although the Bobcats 0 to 3 behind the Magic, but the Magic has Howard, Carter, Turkoglu, Nelson, but the Bobcats star is only Hayes who played well, if Wallace is not injured, I am optimistic that the Bobcats will eliminate the Magic."

"Big Mouth" Barkley also stood up to complain for the Bobcats: "The Bobcats are so unlucky this season! If it weren't for the injuries of the main players, they would probably have the No.1 record in the regular season. Then the Bobcats' opponent in the first two rounds would be 76. People and Cavaliers, the Bobcats will definitely advance easily. As for the Eagles and Magic, the Bobcats also have a great chance of winning, and they are likely to reach the finals."
Fans also did not question the Bobcats.Able to reach the second round of the playoffs, the Bobcats have been very surprising.Fans believe that the Bobcats will be better next season.

At the same time announced, as well as the 2007-2008 season best team.

Hayes was selected to the first team with full marks, and the other four players selected to the first team of the year were Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Yao Ming and Chris Paul.

Second Team: Deron Williams, Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard.

Third Team: Steve Nash, Joe Johnson, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire.

Family and friends congratulated Hayes on the award.This is only Hayes' third season, and the pace of growth has been phenomenal.Although Hayes left the Rockets, his family is still very popular in Houston.People regard Hayes as a hero and support him as always.The enthusiasm of Houstonians made the Hayes family not want to move to Charlotte.

Games for other teams are also underway.

The Eagles lead the Cavaliers 2-1.The Hawks easily won two consecutive games at home, and Yao Ming became the key to the game again. Neither "Big Z" Ilgauskas nor Ben Wallace could defend Yao Ming one-on-one.Cavaliers seem to relive the nightmarish finals of last season.

LeBron James is still strong. Under the tight defense of the Hawks, he averaged 35 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in three games. James is omnipotent, but the overall strength of the Hawks is slightly better.In the third game, the Cavaliers also lagged behind most of the time. In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers played a 7-0 spurt to catch up with the score.In the last 4.7 seconds, James made a one-meter jumper from outside the three-point line and hit a quasi-lore.After Joe Johnson missed an outside shot, the Cavaliers struggled to get back a game 107 to 105 at home, avoiding the embarrassment of falling behind 0 to 3.

The Western Hornets lead the Spurs 2-1.

This is the first time the Hornets have reached the second round in 6 years, and it is also their best record in the playoffs.In four previous trips to the second round, the Hornets have never won an opening game.This time they faced the veteran powerhouse Spurs and broke the record.

Duncan was completely frozen by Tyson Chandler, 9 of 1 shots, only 5 points and 3 rebounds, while Chandler contributed 10 points and 15 rebounds.Chandler blasted Duncan, almost no one thought of this result.Hornets Paul contributed 17 points and 13 assists, of which 11 points were obtained in the fourth quarter.West contributed 32 points and 8 rebounds, scoring the highest score in the game, and Peja Stojakovic had 23 points.

Under the crazy performance of the main players, the Hornets slaughtered the Spurs 104-82.

第二场比赛，黄蜂也没有给马刺任何机会。105比87再次大胜。这场比赛邓肯复苏，得到了20分9篮板，吉诺比利28分6助攻，帕克只得到12分6助攻，表现让人失望。马刺还将韦斯特防的13投3中，仅得到12分9个篮板。但是保罗30分12助攻主宰了比赛。斯托贾科维奇20分，另外一名主力皮特森也贡献了18分。

第三战马刺回到主场，帕克终于打出了全明星级别的表现。31分11助攻和35分9助攻的保罗平分秋色。邓肯拿下14分12篮板，吉诺比利31分5篮板5助攻。马刺106比99险胜黄蜂。

The strength of the Spurs is much weaker than that of Hayes in his previous life. The main problem lies in the inside players and Bowen.The Spurs' starting center can only be played by the blue-collar Oberto. Last season, Bowen was seriously injured by Hayes. Just to be retired.The Spurs can only start with another veteran, Finley.Finley has been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Stojakovic.And Chandler is an excellent defensive player, he was very successful in defending Duncan.It is somewhat difficult for the Spurs to eliminate the young Hornets.

The game that attracted the most attention was the game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers.

The first game of the two teams was very dark.The Lakers led by up to 15 points in the first half, but in the end the Timberwolves came from behind to reverse the Lakers 85 to 82 and kept their home court advantage.Allen Iverson made a mid-range shot with 17.6 seconds to go ahead by 1 point.Kobe Bryant missed a shot under the double-teaming of Posey and McCants at a critical moment. McDyess grabbed a rebound, and the Lakers had no choice but to foul.McDyess made two free throws, leaving the Lakers with only 1.3 seconds left.Fisher made an outside shot, but this time he failed to perform miraculously again. The shot was blocked by Iverson, and the Lakers regretted losing the three-pointer.Garnett had 21 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists, and Iverson had 22 points, 6 assists and 3 steals.The Lakers Kobe Bryant made only 25 of 8 shots and scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Gasol scored 13 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

第二场比赛森林狼上半场曾领先17分。第四节科比发威，得到了个人全场33分中的14分，带领湖人逆转了比赛。101比97将总比分扳为1比1。本场比赛艾弗森手感全无，森林狼表现最好的依旧是加内特18分15篮板5助攻，湖人加索尔16分8篮板2助攻。

The third game was played at the Lakers' home court.

The score between the two sides has been tight in this game. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Iverson assisted Posey to make a long shot. The Timberwolves led 67 to 63 by 4 points, but Kobe immediately responded with a three-pointer.After Gasol defended Garnett and received his fifth foul, he was forced to rest, which became a turning point in the game.The Timberwolves used a 10-2 scoring climax to expand the score to 77-68.In the last 1 minute and 51 seconds, Kobe hit a three-pointer and assisted Odom for a dunk, but the teenager McCants hit an outside shot and shattered the Lakers' final counterattack.In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers 94-86, thus rewriting the total score to 2-1 and regaining the home court advantage.

艾弗森一人独得34分6个篮板，加内特 12分14篮板6助攻进帐，湖人队方面，科比得到25分、奥多姆14分、加索尔8分和11篮板。

Gasol lags behind Garnett in three consecutive games.After the game, the media accused Gasol of being a complete "soft guy", as if the Lakers would have led the Timberwolves 3-0 if it weren't for the arrival of Gasol. In fact, without Gasol, would the Lakers have entered The playoffs are a problem.

"Zen Master" Jackson stood up to defend the Spaniard: "Bynum is injured, Gasol can only top the center position, he is a power forward player, and his strength is slightly weaker, which is why he sometimes appears There are some soft reasons. Gasol is still playing well even in difficult situations, and his improvement is obvious to all."

Gasol was scolded some wronged.He replaces the starting center position. The team's power forward is Odom. Neither of them is a power player. Although Odom is a swingman, he is better at the small forward position that shows his all-round skills.
Gasol doesn't have a solid backup, and Mehm is a big man who shoots [-]s.Mbenga has no rebounds, no points and nothing but height.Odom is not even an excellent defender, his talents are all on the offensive end, carrying the inside, only Gasol can carry it!This leads to a problem, physical exertion too fast!
When Garnett was on the court, Gasol mainly defended Garnett and was misplaced to defend McDyess at center.Add to that the challenge of an aggressive backup in Brandon Bass, and when Odom loses position, Gasol is forced to cover the defense and end up missing the best rebound. Location.This created a false impression that Gasol was blown up!In fact, if Gasol and Garnett have been facing each other, the two can fight each other.In addition, Gasol had the most shots in the three games with only 13 shots, and his shooting percentage was higher than that of Garnett.

Gasol was blasted by all the Timberwolves insiders.Of course, looking at the data, Gasol was bullied by Garnett like a little daughter-in-law.In this series, the Timberwolves have already gained the upper hand because of their inside advantage.Their team is full of veterans with rich experience in the playoffs. Although their athletic ability is average, the allocation of players at each position is very reasonable.They have become the biggest favorites for the championship!
The Bobcats, the former imaginary enemy of the Timberwolves, are struggling on the edge of being eliminated.Not to mention entering the finals, it takes a miracle to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

On May 5, the fourth game of the Bobcats VS Magic was staged at the Magic home court.

Before the game, Michael Jordan arrived in Orlando and had a conversation with Hayes in the hotel.

"Chuck, I think you should play more alone. It's up to you whether we can go back to Charlotte for Game [-] or not. It's useless to talk about all the mobilization. Our roster is not strong enough this season. Now less Without Gerrard, no one can help you anymore, you can only rely on yourself and use your attack to dominate the pitch."

Hayes said seriously: "I'm going to focus on the outside offense and completely hand over the inside to my teammates. I rely on screens on the outside and it's not easy to be double-teamed. I will let the game go back to Charlotte."

"Well, the outside offense must be opened up. As long as the inside players can protect the backcourt rebounds, they are qualified. You have an advantage when playing outside. Your shooting is very accurate, and the three-pointer is more accurate than I was back then. You have to use this advantage, as long as Your three-point shot is what drives your teammates. You already got the MVP, but if you want to be judged better than me, this game has to be won. When I lead the team alone, there has never been a playoff sweep. Yes! If you get swept, it will be a stain on your career!" Jordan said seriously.He could accept the Bobcats failing, but not this way.

"Michael, I have already adjusted well, what you said is to put pressure on me." Hayes smiled wryly.

"Which one who has ruled the league doesn't have a lot of pressure?" Jordan laughed.

There is pressure to be motivated!Hayes won the MVP like a shot in the arm!He is the MVP!The best players don't deserve to be swept away!
