Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 250 [Super Dream Team]

Durant's shooting is more accurate than Hayes imagined.

He values ​​Durant more now. No wonder he is the one who can become the scoring leader. With such a height and wingspan, as long as he can shoot, he cannot be easily defended.As for why Durant is inaccurate in the game, it is a matter of shooting timing. Durant often barely pulls up to shoot when the defender is in front of him.He was so excited, as if he would be blocked if his shot was a little slower.

The most important thing in shooting is rhythm, and it is the rhythm of the whole body. From kneeling to take-off, as long as you can grasp this feeling, you can shoot the ball even with your eyes closed.

Durant's mid-range shooting is particularly accurate, and the three-pointer is slightly worse. Although it is not as good as Hayes, it is almost at the level of an ordinary pitcher.At least last season, the Bobcats' players were better than shooting ability. Only Bargnani's touch can be compared with Durant.

What surprised Hayes even more is still behind, and that is Durant's defense.

In the first match between the Dream 8 team and the sparring team, Durant was sent to defend Kobe, and Kobe made 7 of 1 shots in that quarter.

This is a public training session, and many fans attended to watch it.Durant's performance made Kobe very embarrassed.However, Durant was very low-key when talking about the effect of defending Kobe, and was not complacent about his defensive ability.He believes that his real effective defense is only two or three balls, and Kobe can't find the sense of offense when he misses other balls.This should be related to Kobe's finger injury.

The training team played well, and the best performers were Durant, Mayo, and Rose.While training together, the rookies learned a lot from the stars.James, Anthony and others are also willing to give some of their experience to rookies.After all, they are the future of American basketball.

Hayes didn't teach Durant much, except to say something that Jordan told himself.Say Bobcats rookie, Hayes most want to see the person is Brook - Lopez.It's a pity that Brook didn't come, but his brother Robin Lopez came.Robin Lopez is a pure blue-collar, with average offensive ability and decent defense. He can limit Howard a little, but when he meets Stoudemire, he will only be blown up.

Hayes is looking forward to meeting with Brook Lopez.In his previous life, Lopez, as a traditional center rarely seen in the league, suffered a lot in the Nets.The Nets are too bad, and on the outside there is Devin Harris, a pseudo-core point guard who only knows breakthroughs and long shots.As a result, Lopez's talents were not fully utilized.Even so, in the second season, he could score 18.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 blocks.

Lopez's specialty is low-post turnaround jumper and face-up mid-range shot. His dribbling skills are also good, and his footwork is very fast, but he doesn't have many tricks.Hayes wondered what would happen if Lopez became "Dream Footsteps". Would he become the league's number one technical center, as strong as Duncan?Lopez's rebounding is definitely not as good as Duncan's, but in terms of footwork, Hayes still has the confidence to teach him to improve. After all, in the same team, there is plenty of time.

In the next few years, Lopez and Durant are likely to be Hayes' two most important helpers.

The new members of the sparring team have already shown extremely high potential before entering the NBA.There was one match that was narrowly won in the test match.

In addition to Durant and Rose, the people who impressed Hayes include Love, Aldridge, Horford and others.

Love, a big white man, has very strong rebounds and can compete with Hayes.Hayes is only slightly better at judging, comparable to Kabit, Love and Hayes.However, Love's defense is too poor, his feet move slowly, and he doesn't have much desire to block shots when defending.If he is allowed to defend against Hayes alone in the game, Hayes is confident that he can easily score 60 points.

The best defenders are Aldridge and Horford.Aldridge moves fast, is good at defending against pick-and-rolls, changes defenses in a timely manner, and has good physical fitness, but a little less strength.

Horford's speed and strength are good, he can resist people inside, and he can follow up in time to defend.His shortcoming is that he is only 208cm tall, but with Hayes as an outlier, people with a height of more than 205cm playing inside, whether fans or experts, no longer feel short.

In the confrontation match, Hayes did not play passionately, but he was the most stable player in the Dream 8 team.The success rate of one-on-one singles is extremely high, and several rookies who played wanted to cry.If someone double-teams, he will choose to pass the ball, driving the whole team's offense.

In the past few days, Coach K has confirmed the starting lineup for the Olympics.

Hayes first established his starting position, inside power forward.He is too comprehensive. Although he is only 198cm tall, he is still the best choice for the starting lineup.

Then there's Kobe.Needless to say, Kobe's offensive ability, his entanglement protection can also help the US team.

Coach K, the starting point guard, chose Billups.Chris Paul and Deron Williams have stronger scoring abilities and outstanding personal abilities, but they are not stable enough, they like breakthroughs too much, and often don't know what they should do.Billups' scoring mainly relies on open three-pointers from the outside. He does not grab mobile phone opportunities. After breaking through, he must choose to split the ball, which can play a more role in team offense.

Center old K chose Dwight - Howard, Stoudemire is more like a power forward.The offense is strong and the defense is weak. There are too many people in this team who can attack.The old coach K prefers players who can defend.

The starter at the small forward position is LeBron James. Anthony has rich offensive methods, but James is more ferocious. Few people can block his tank breakthrough in the NBA. The advantages are obvious.His singles are also an offensive weapon for the US team.

The old coach K has full confidence to win the Olympic championship, and this US team is perfect.

The previous dream teams were most afraid of zone defense.

NBA只流行的3-2一种联防，所有联防都是这个阵型的变种。其他2-1-2、2-3、1-3-1联防篮下都必须有人，但NBA联盟有“防守3秒”规则，即防守球员不能在三秒区内待3秒以上，所以NBA的联防，实际上就剩下3-2联防，完全有理由称NBA的联防为“伪联防”。

in the international arena.The dream team encounters a lot more defensive tricks, and can choose according to the different styles of the opponent team.For example, in the last Olympic Games, 23 is generally used to prevent breakthroughs. The two people at the front can "close the door" and clamp the opponent when he breaks through. Even if they come in, they will be blocked by two or one person at the back end. can go backwards.The United States suffered a big loss in the last Olympics. NBA players who have made breakthroughs such as Iverson and Marbury are not afraid of double-teaming, but it is difficult for them to break through the defense of the entire team.That year, opponents used this method to limit the outside play of the US team.In the end, the US team only won a bronze medal.This is already relatively lucky. If Duncan hadn't gone to the Olympics, it is estimated that he would not even get the bronze medal.

This time is different, the United States sent first-tier players.

They can easily tear apart the opponent's defense. The superstars of Mengba have the ability to attack the city independently. This may become the biggest guarantee for Mengba to win the gold, because most international teams have at most 7 strong players. , The strength gap between the substitutes who came on the stage since then is obvious, and the 8 members of the Dream 12 team are all top players.

Dream 8 team is very characteristic.

The first is the rebound.Hayes and Howard may not be tall enough inside, but there is absolutely nothing to say about rebounding ability.Bosh and Stoudemire are also good at rebounding.

Secondly, most of the American players have comprehensive skills.There is only one Howard in the regular center, but there are many all-around fighters.Stoudemire and Bosh can play two positions inside, and James and Anthony can also play power forwards.The most god Hayes can play 5 positions.

Kidd, who participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, commented on the Dream 8 team most pertinently. He said: "This team is different from the national team in the 2000 Olympics. It is faster and more athletic. I remember In 2000, our team already had a strong athletic ability. Players such as Kobe, LeBron, and Carmelo Anthony were tall and powerful in their respective positions. No matter what position Hayes played, It's a nightmare for other teams."

Some people say that this American team has only one pure pitcher, Ray Allen.This is true, but not accurate.Because in terms of pitchers, in fact, the number and quality of Dream 8 can be called the strongest in history.Anthony, James, and Wade, the three leaders of the 03 golden generation, are all super scorers.And there are "big scorers" like Kobe, Hayes, and Stoudemire.It is normal for Deron, Paul, Ray Allen and others to score 30 points in a game when they feel hot.The only one in Dream 8 who is not very good at attacking is Howard.

These scorers have a common characteristic: the outside combat ability is extremely strong, even comparable to "Dream One".
The "Dream Team" back then had Jordan, Bird, Pippen, and Drexler, and the stars were overwhelming.But since "Dream [-]", no American team has ever gathered so many outside super attackers. "Dream [-]" includes Reggie Miller, Dumars, Steve Smith, and Kevin Johnson. "Dream Three" has "Penny" Hardaway, Hill, and Pippen.They are all very good attackers, but in terms of luxury, the outside attackers of "Dream [-]" and "Dream [-]" cannot compare with "Dream [-]" and this year's US team.
At that time, "Dream One" outscored opponents by 43.8 points per game. Coach Chuck Daly once said: "In the future, the world will see an American team as strong as ours, but it is impossible to see such a golden combination again." Daly's "golden combination" is actually aimed at "Jordan + Bird + Magician". He certainly would not have imagined that after 15 years, there will be "Kobe + Hayes + James" in the US team The combination.

On July 7, the Dream 25 team played a warm-up match with the Canadian men's basketball team.

Nash participated in the game on behalf of the Canadian team.His efforts alone could not stop the US team's attack at all.The old coach K chose the offensive tactics with Hayes as the core.

Hayes saw that the man defending him was a tall white man who looked very thin, so he squeezed in with his back and easily arched into the inside for dunks and scored.

Then Hayes attracted the opponent's center defense and gave the ball to Howard for dunks with both hands.In the third round, Hayes attracted the defense and handed it over to James, who followed up in the middle, and dunked with one hand again!In the opening minutes, the score was drawn.

The strength gap between the two sides is huge, and they cannot compete at all.In the end, the Dream 8 team defeated Canada 143 to 102.Started the Olympic warm-up tour!
