Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 232 [The Last Stand]

The Magic swept the Bobcats 4-0 to advance?Or will the Bobcats fight back and return to Charlotte with a victory?

If the Bobcats can be swept, the Magic will have the upper hand in terms of momentum to enter the Eastern Conference finals.So the Magic will sweep the Bobcats with all their might.The Bobcats can't afford to lose even more, and no team is willing to be out in such a disgraceful way.

T*NT TV will broadcast the game live across the United States, and Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith will comment together.The TV station is very clear that Barkley's most supportive player is Hayes. This game is related to whether the Bobcats will be eliminated. It will definitely be interesting to let Barkley explain.

Sure enough, before the start of the game, Barkley was talking nonsense. "Until now, I still think that the Magic is not as good as the Bobcats. The Bobcats just lost the general Gerald Wallace in the first game. When watching these two teams play, I once said that the Magic can’t defend Hayes at all. Whether it’s Turkoglu, Tony Batty, or Howard, they can’t defend well on the outside, and Haye The offensive range of the Magic is very large. Before they could use Ariza on the bench to defend Hayes, but they have sent Ariza to the Lakers during the season. And the depth of the magic bench is not strong. Once Howard is off the court , the overall movement speed will slow down. If the depth of the bench is not improved, even if the Magic eliminates the Bobcats, there is no hope of winning the championship.”

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The Magic really can't defend against Hayes, but their overall strength is still better than the Bobcats. Howard beat Biedrins completely. Turkoglu is the most improved player this season, and he also has strength. Selected in the All-Star Game, he is much better than Barnes, who can only defend. Azubuike has performed well this season, but he is far behind Carter. Calderon is a loophole in the Bobcats defense, and he can't defend Nelson. Nelson was an unexpected discovery for the Magic this season. He played like an All-Star entering the playoffs. It can be said that the Magic are dominant in all positions except the [-]th. I think the Bobcats are swept. There is nothing surprising. They must have been under a lot of psychological pressure in this game."

Barkley said depressed: "I think other positions are okay, mainly the point guard position. Calderon's offense is good, but his physical fitness is too poor, and his defense is a big problem. Bobcats should give Rajon Ron more appearances In time, although Rondo is not good at shooting, he is very tight in defense and will not be easily passed. And when changing defenses, Rondo is very brave. He dares to mark the opponent's forwards, waiting for opportunities to steal or It is very rare to make an offensive foul on the opponent. Bobcat Hayes is the absolute core of the offense and can be used by Rondo. As long as Rondo takes the basketball across the half court in the offense, the task is completed, and there is no need to shoot. Erwin ( Johnson) is also very optimistic about the player Rondo. In addition to shooting, he is very comprehensive."

Smith listened to Barkley's evaluation and said with a smile: "I think Felton is the most depressing thing for the Bobcats. He was the main force of the Bobcats last season. Some people think that the Bobcats should establish him as the core. But after Calderon came He gave up the main position. Now that Rondo, the marginal man of the Blazers, is here, you actually think he is better than Felton. Back then, Felton was as famous as Chris Paul and Deron Williams. Wei."

Barkley looked at the court with dead fish eyes, and said boredly: "I'm just telling a fact. The Bobcats' signings were very successful, oh... the players came out."

The Bobcats players made their first appearance, and when Hayes played, the Magic fans gave them warm applause.Although the Bobcats fell behind 0-3, Hayes' performance was respected by people.

When the Magic's five starters made their debut, everyone was cheered by the fans.They are the heroes of Orlando, and the live DJ introduced the players very emotionally.The atmosphere looked less like an introduction of the lineup, more like a winner's awards ceremony.The Magic officially distributed a small banner with the "sweep" logo printed on it to every fan present.Fanatical fans waved flags together and loudly shouted that the Magic must win.

Under such an atmosphere, can the Bobcats play without pressure?

D'Antoni kept cheering the players on. "Today is our last chance. If we win today, we will have a chance to come back at home. If we lose, all our efforts this season will be in vain. We are a championship-oriented team, Can't be swept. Chuck is the main offense on the outside, and others go to the frontcourt to give the ball to Chuck, and then pick and roll to cover, and the outside players run to find opportunities. The task of the others is to defend, and they must try to defend. Foul Be ruthless! Don't just destroy the shot, be so ruthless that they can't feel the touch, and let them see the defenders when they shoot. Don't be afraid of fouls! Especially against Carter and Howard!"

"Down with the Magic!" Hayes took the lead in roaring.

"Destroy the Magic!" The Bobcats players were aroused and shouted loudly.

"Very good, good momentum. Keep calm, don't treat this game as the fourth game. Treat it as the first game between us and the Magic. We are only fighting for one game, and then we will compete in every next game." We must strive to win. We must aim to sweep the Magic!" D'Antoni said loudly.When the Suns were swept by the Rockets last season, he was too lazy to motivate players in the end.But today is different, although the Bobcats were cornered, but he thinks there is still a chance.The way he motivates players now is the typical Ah Q spirit, self-hypnosis.

He believes that Hayes can lead the team to victory, at least the Bobcats will not be swept out.Because Hayes is the regular season MVP.And it is the most powerful MVP he has seen in recent years!

Hayes slapped Gortat on the back before going on the court, and Gortat looked a little distracted.

"Ma Xin. Keep your spirits up, you are very important to the Bobcats. Your explosiveness is not much worse even against Howard. You will definitely get a lot of playing time today, defending with all your strength, and fouling hard when you can't prevent it! We need you."

"Got it!" Gortat yelled.

"Today I will let Carter eat and walk around. Don't worry, everyone, I will not let him score easily today!" Azubuike roared before going on the field.

"Damn it, Corunna, why are you so passionate today? If you do the same in the first three games, we will be able to eliminate the Magic today! I believe in you, brother!" Hayes laughed.

The opponent is Carter, and no one blames Azubuike for being unstoppable.But he worked very hard.He is another desperate Saburo besides Wallace, and his fight is better than the other.

"I have an appointment with Corinna, we must win this game and return to Sherlock with the victory." Azubuike said seriously.

Corinna is a beautiful white female fan and a well-known female chef in Charlotte.After the game against the Raptors, she asked Azubuike for an autograph. Azubuike and Corinna chatted for a while, felt good, and began to pursue each other.No real progress has been made yet.

Hayes met Corinna, a wilder you.He has a hot body, a lot of alcohol, and a bold personality. To put it bluntly, he is more of a man.

"You have an agreement? It seems that the relationship is good. How did she tell you?" Hayes laughed.

"She said: If you can't win this game and the Bobcats are swept away, don't go back to Charlotte. I'll kill you when you come back!" Azubuike imitated Corinna's tone and said with a happy face .

Hayes was sweating.You are too M.This is no longer an agreement but a naked threat.You're actually looking for the gangster's daughter, right?Why are you still looking happy?Is this normal?

Howard looked at Hayes not far away, and wanted to come over to say hello, but he didn't speak after all.Since hurting Wallace.His words are much less.He considers himself and Hayes friends.Talking to Hayes right now is a bit of a triumphant triumph.He hurt the opponent's No. [-], so he was ashamed to put on a victorious posture.

Hayes noticed Howard, took the initiative to walk over, and said: "Dwight, I will not lose again today. With me here, the Bobcats are not so easy to defeat. You don't have to put on an embarrassing expression. The first One game, I've forgiven you."

Howard immediately laughed, showing two rows of white teeth.

"Landry should really defend you today. It must be fun for you two to play while laughing." Hayes laughed.Under such adversity, he was still able to laugh, which surprised him.He has completely let go!
I'm going to score desperately today!All out game!Don't leave any regrets!
The Magic's starting lineup remains unchanged.

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

In order to enhance the offensive firepower inside, D'Antoni sent Landry to start today and gave him full trust.Landry also let go after a few games.Although he lacks experience, he plays hard!

But some Bobcats players are still nervous.Biedrins was one of them, and he fumbled on a jump ball.The referee tossed the ball into the air, and Biedrins took off early before the ball had reached its highest point. As a result, he was called a violation and gave the ball to the Magic for nothing.

Magic Nelson dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Vince Carter.Azubuike posted it right away.

Azubuike jumped off Carter in the first turn.His eyes were shining red, and his expression didn't look like he was playing ball, but rather that he wanted to kill someone.

"Come on!" Azubuike yelled.He deserves the title of defensive champion.

Is this bastard crazy?It's not like yelling can stop me.Carter thought, Howard stepped forward to cover, and Carter quickly broke through from the left with the ball.Azubuike bypassed Howard with the fastest speed, chased Carter, and double-teamed Carter with Landry.

This is a targeted defensive tactic arranged by Jeff Van Gundy - short Howard at a high position!

Howard has no shooting ability in the high post, and passing him is not a threat.As long as he drives the ball inside, it's a foul!
After being double-teamed, Carter jumped up and passed the ball to Nelson on the right.At this time, Hayes saw the opportunity, let go of Turkoglu, accurately intercepted Carter's pass, and made a single fast break.Turktru returned to defense at full speed and retreated into the penalty area in time.

I'll give you a lung!Hayes cursed in his heart.Dribbled with his back and into the hoop against Turkoglu's lungs, Turkoglu lost his balance, and Hayes raised his hands, holding the basketball aloft.

Howard rushed up from behind and jumped up to block the shot, but Hayes just swayed. After waiting for Howard to jump up, he jumped up against Howard. The two collided. Hayes threw the ball with one hand and the ball scored!The referee blows the whistle and the foul is punished! 2 to 0.

Hayes smiled at Howard: "I knew you could catch up!"
