Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 268 [The sea is wide and the fish leaps, the sky is high and the cats fly! 】

Only half of the time in the first quarter, Durant has scored 13 points.

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown called a timeout.

The Cavaliers commentator shouted: "Durant! It's Durant again! He scored consecutively. What's going on with the Bobcats? Has the boss changed this season? Hayes has only taken one shot so far. Several veterans They're all passing the ball to Durant."

When he was off the court, Gerald Wallace punched Durant in the back and said: "You played so beautifully! Boy, you are going to grab the scoring champion this season."

"Strive for more than 40 points, and then continue to create opportunities for you." Billups laughed.

Mike Brown called the players together, took the tactical board and said: "LeBron, you go to mark Durant, let Sasha (Pavlovich) defend Wallace. The inside is Ben (Wallace) ) to defend Hayes, Big Z (Ilgauskas) pay attention to assisting defense..."

This is not a big change from the defensive tactics just now. The only adjustment is that James defends Durant.Although Durant scored the most, but the most embarrassing for Mike - Brown is still Hayes.

Hayes has not taken the initiative to attack this game. If he plays alone, it will be difficult for Ben Wallace to defend alone. Now there are Durant and Billups on the perimeter, both of whom can shoot three-pointers. Durant Rand also has a troublesome inside height.Mike Brown didn't dare to arrange weak-side players to double-team Hayes, because there would definitely be open opportunities, and the Cavaliers must have died miserably.

The Bobcats also have problems with defense. If James is double-teamed, James will distribute the ball, and it is easy to be open after an off-ball screen.

"Gerald, you should defend James alone in this game. Don't let him catch the ball easily. After the opponent picks and rolls, Chuck goes up. Don't double-team. It doesn't matter if you let James score more points. As long as we defend others, we will Can win easily. Continue the routine when attacking." D'Antoni said, not forgetting to praise Durant. "Kevin, play well, keep this level!"

Azubuike, who was sitting on the edge of the bench, smiled bitterly: "It's over. This kid is too aggressive. I think it will be difficult to regain the main position."

Weaver shook his head and said: "You are content, you just lost the starter, and I almost have no ball to play. Anthony (Morrow) shoots better than me. As long as his defense can be strengthened, there is no need for the shooting guard position." Fuck me. The upside is that we're closer to the championship."

Listening to their conversation, Brook Lopez showed a yearning expression. If he encounters a team with a weak inside, will he attack with him as the core?His scoring ability is better than Camby's. Camby is already very old. If he plays well, he may become a starter in the future.

After the timeout, players from both sides returned to the field.

James gritted his teeth and looked at Hayes with a bad expression, while Hayes gave him a smile.James hates the smiling face of Hayes, but he must admit that the Bobcats are stronger now, and their overall strength is above the Cavaliers.

My personal ability is obviously not inferior to Hayes, even stronger than him. Why can't I beat him with my teammates?James never understood.

Even in the group confrontation of the national team, James can't take advantage.James was on the same team as Howard, Bosh, Wade, and Paul, and Hayes' teammates were Stoudemire, Anthony, Ray Allen, and Billups.If you look at personal ability, James' side looks stronger, but in a game, James can't win.

What makes James feel uncomfortable is that he has tried his best, but Hayes is always smiling, as if he didn't try hard at all.

In fact, Hayes is also competing, playing both offensive and defensive ends very seriously, but he is born with a smiling face, as long as it is not a malicious foul by the opponent, he can laugh.It never occurred to Hayes that a smile could distract an opponent.

The Cavaliers opened up, and James singled Gerald Wallace.The Bobcats didn't mean to double-team, so Ilgauskas didn't step forward to cover.

James dribbles continuously under the crotch, suddenly changing direction and passing Gerald Wallace.As long as James is successful, he is unstoppable.Camby makes up defense at the basket.James jumped up to face Camby, and at the same time as the two collided, James pulled the bar in the air and put the ball in.And caused Camby's foul.

After James made an extra free throw, it was 19 to 14.

The Bobcats still played calmly, and Billups went to the frontcourt to hand the ball to Gerald Wallace.Wallace stopped in the high post, waited for Durant to run laterally, and handed the ball to Durant.Durant took the ball and took a step laterally, making an emergency stop for a jumper.Pavlovich blocked the shot with all his strength, and of course he couldn't block it, but Durant didn't have a good posture for the ball and couldn't make it.

Ben Wallace grabs the backboard.In the fight with Ben Wallace, Hayes couldn't take advantage of it.The best defensive player for several consecutive times, his strength is not blown out.

Ben Wallace passed to Mo Williams after landing, ready to launch a fast break, but the Bobcats returned to defense very quickly. Except for Camby and Ilgauskas who "walked" in the backcourt, the other 4 They all retreated to their own half, and the Cavaliers couldn't counterattack.

James attacked with the ball, and Gerald Wallace was inseparable, preventing penetration and shooting.More than offense, there are many people who are better than Gerald Wallace at the small forward position.But looking at the defense, he can rank in the top five.

Under the entanglement of Gerald Wallace, James also felt a little uncomfortable.This is normal.In the Bobcats, Gerald - Wallace has been soloing with Hayes.Hayes has many tricks, and over time, Wallace's judgment on fake moves has increased.James has good physical fitness, but there are not many fake moves.

James struggled to make an open space, shot a jumper when Wallace jumped up and interfered, and the ball went wide.Hayes grabbed the backboard.Billups and Durant played fast break together again.Hayes passed the ball long to Billups.Billups changed direction and passed Mo Williams, two-for-one in the frontcourt, Pavlovich followed Billups, Billups stopped suddenly and threw the ball into the air with both hands, Durant went high Jump up, dunk the basketball with both hands and score! 21 to 14.

The Cavaliers have been lagging behind. Their fast break is not as good as the Bobcats, and the number of rebounds is also behind. When attacking, Gerald Wallace and Hayes took turns to limit James, making it very difficult for the "Emperor".The positional warfare knights can also limit the Bobcats, but once the Bobcats are allowed to run, they are a little at a loss.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats led by 37 points 28 to 9.

In the second quarter, Hayes, Billups, Durant and others were replaced one after another to rest.The Bobcats played more easily, and the Cavaliers' bench lineup couldn't compete with the Bobcats' bench.

The Bobcats center was replaced by Brook Lopez, power forward Bargnani, small forward Mike Miller, shooting guard Azubuike, and point guard Rondo.Such a lineup is simply a starter for other teams.Although Rondo's shooting is poor, his passing awareness is not inferior to that of Billups, and he connected the team well.

In addition to Rondo, Mike Miller pulls up to the high position as a point forward and can also send comfortable passes.His passing awareness is very good, and he averaged 2006 assists per game in the Grizzlies in the 2007-4.3 season.This is extremely difficult for the Grizzlies with Paul Gasol as the core.

Replaced Durant, Bobcats on Bargnani, also a big pitcher dangling outside, easily evacuated the Cavaliers inside.

The Cavaliers' substitutes JJ-Sixson, Ella Newbell, and Rice couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the game.If it weren't for the "diving king" Varejao relying on experience to make Brook Lopez two consecutive offensive fouls, and Gibson hit two three-pointers with hot hands, the Bobcats would definitely shake the lead.However, the score gap between the two sides has widened to more than 10 points, 51 to 40.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Bobcats sent Durant again, Bargnani as the center, Landry at the power forward, Mike Miller at the small forward, and Hayes at the point guard. .

D'Antoni's long-planned 5-forward tactic appeared.This is an adjustment made according to the opponent's lineup. With this arrangement, the Bobcats' outside players have an advantage in height and speed.

"LeBron, go stare at Hayes!" Mike Brown yelled.If James doesn't step up to defend, backup point guard Daniel Gibson will have a taste of Hayes' ass work.

James immediately went to the frontcourt to stare at Hayes, intending to prevent Hayes from easily dribbling the ball across half court, but Bargnani started a pick-and-roll in the backcourt, blocking James.Hayes took the ball upfield and handed it to Durant.

At this time, Delonte West was on the court, and he was defending Durant again.Gibson is responsible for defending Miller, and the height disadvantage of these two positions is too obvious.

Durant made a slight adjustment to catch the ball in one step within the three-point line, and then he pulled it up and shot.Also with a little back.West put all his energy into feeding, but he still couldn't interfere with Durant's shooting, and the ball made it! 53 to 40.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Hayes followed Gibson. His speed was not dominant when defending the guards, but Gibson's speed was average and he was not good at breakthroughs. His trick was to shoot three-pointers.

Gibson really wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but Hayes kept standing in front of him and didn't have a lot of chances.Gibson saw James ask for the ball in the low 45-degree angle on the left and passed the ball.James turned around and passed Landry and broke into the paint, hit a two-handed dunk, and Bargnani couldn't make up the defense. 53 to 42.

Landry's defense is still not good enough.Bobcats request a substitution, Mike - Miller off, Gerald - Wallace on.The purpose of this substitution is to limit James.

Hayes continued to play point guard, passing the ball to Bargnani beyond the three-point line.Bargnani pulled to the outside and broke the Cavaliers' zone defense.A Durant has made it impossible to block shots, and Bargnani is also 7 feet tall.

Ilgauskas had no choice but to defend.

Bargnani didn't force the shot either, and passed the ball to Durant again.At this time, Hayes, who acts as a point guard, made a screen for Durant.

The 5 Bobcats are full of front line swingmen, and James is also a bit defensive. He just wanted to guard Durant, and Landry made another screen to block James. The man made a layup before making up defense! 55 to 42.

Bobcats outside pitcher is too high!Mike Brown is going crazy.What the hell kind of play is this? Not only are the 5 swingers, but they can also play inside and can change positions at any time.It is impossible for any team in the league to have such a strange lineup, but with Hayes as a freak, the Bobcats can play like this.And the knights who were still fighting couldn't stand it.

In order to defend the Bobcats' tall shooters, the Cavaliers have to deploy tall players, which will affect their offense.  …

Durant scored consecutively, and the more he played, the more excited he became.He felt like a fish and now he found his water!
