Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 277 [New Golden Double Guns! 】

A Wizards fan once said that the full name of the "General" is-Gilbert-crazy-Arenas!Because when he wasn't injured, he was on the same level as Kobe Bryant - most like Jordan - Bryant.After scoring 60 points at Staples, Arenas officially became a scoring machine, but that was a season ago.

上个赛季阿里纳斯因伤缺席了大部分比赛。所以他伤愈复出后还剩多少功力是球迷们最关心的事。结果阿里纳斯在新赛季代表掘金打的6场比赛中，场均得到23.5分4篮板7助攻，美中不足的是投篮命中率只有41%。

Another Nuggets star, Carmelo Anthony, averaged 23 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.Since the arrival of Arenas has reduced his shots, his scoring has dropped compared with last season, but he is still brave.The two teamed up to score nearly 50 points per game, making them the sharpest perimeter combination in the league this season.

In Hayes' previous life, Anthony and Iverson formed a golden pair of guns, making the Nuggets one of the most entertaining teams in the league.Now the arrival of Arenas, so that the Nuggets have a "new golden guns"!
To deal with such a Nuggets team, even if the Bobcats played very well before the game, they dare not be careless.In order to limit the Nuggets' offense, D'Antoni changed his defensive tactics. "Defensive man-to-man. Marcus (Camby) on Nene, Chuck on Martin, Gerald (Wallace) on Anthony, Kevin (Durant) on Jones, Billups on Arena S. Get back in time. They have a quick offense.”

With a point guard like Arenas and brutal inside players like Nene and Martin, the Nuggets can switch offense and defense very quickly.Arenas often dribbles the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt in a one-stop attack. The Bobcats have Camby, and their speed is at a disadvantage.Playing zone defense is not easy.And the Nuggets also know how to break the zone defense. Their players can also be inside and outside, and the inside players can make mid-range shots.Even Deng Tai-Jones, who is the weakest offensively, can make a sudden shot from the outside.Bobcats man-to-man defense is the most appropriate strategy.

D'Antoni also talked about offensive tactics. "Protect the backcourt rebounds and counterattack quickly. If the opponent returns to the defense in time, play a triangle offense. Chuck mainly attacks Martin in the low post. Kevin singles Jones from the outside."

The Nuggets are a fast team, so Marc Gasol didn't enter the rotation today.Landry was also rested. He poked his finger during a dunk against the Raptors. It was not serious, but there was no need to play with the injury. He took a rest and Anthony Morrow entered the rotation for the first time .

The Nuggets are a team with such obvious advantages and disadvantages. While the offense is extremely sharp, the deficiencies in defense are also exposed.In the past, there was no defense in the Nuggets' system, and the new season will be even worse, because they sent away the two best defensive players in the team last season, Marcus Camby and Najera.They allowed 103.5 points per game this season.

The Bobcats boldly enabled Anthony Morrow.The Nuggets' outside defense is not tight, and Morrow will definitely get a chance.

Nuggets coach George Karl's tactics are similar to those of the Bobcats. They are also man-to-man defense, and Kenyon Martin has assumed the responsibility of man-marking Hayes.The Nuggets do not intend to allow outside players to double-team Hayes. They have seen video of the Bobcats' previous game.So the only one who can help Martin is Nene. When defending Camby, he has to keep a certain distance and help defend at any time.Hayes didn't score much this season, but no coach would think that Hayes' ability has declined.The Nuggets are not afraid to let Camby shoot, even if they score more points, but Hayes is the one who can decide the outcome of the game, so special care must be taken for him.

Offensive Tactics George Karl Needless to say, the players all understand that they can play as fast as they can, and the offense of the position is to rely on teammates to cover and star singles.

The match was a passionate collision of two super-attacking teams, so it attracted ESPN TV to broadcast the match live. Magic Johnson and Joan Barry acted as the commentary of the match together.

"Ervin, which team do you think is more likely to win today's game?" Jon Barry asked.

"I am optimistic about the Bobcats. Both teams' offense is very strong, but the Bobcats' defense is not bad this season, and the Nuggets' defense is weaker than last season. This is the biggest gap between the two teams."

Juan Barry said: "The Nuggets' Anthony and Arenas seem to be in better condition than the Bobcats' Hayes and Gerald - Wallace. Will this be the decisive factor for the Nuggets to win?"

"Chuck's data has indeed declined, but looking at his assists in the forefront of the league, he knows that he pays more attention to supporting the offense. This season, the Bobcats introduced several players to increase the scoring points. Chuck and Gerald - Wallace Reducing the number of shots is beneficial to the development of the team's rookies. Durant couldn't play well when he was in the Trail Blazers, and he immediately became a player close to 20+5 when he transferred to the Bobcats. This is due to Hayes." Johnson laughed.

Players who knew each other greeted each other, and Camby saw old teammates smiling at everyone.

Last season, Hayes would greet Arenas when he saw them. The two had participated in the All-Star Game and the three-point contest together, and had a lot of conversations.But this time, Arenas did not give Hayes a good look.He asked the agent to contact the Bobcats before and wanted to join forces with Hayes, but in the end the Bobcats directly rejected Arenas.He felt that this was Hayes looking down on him, and his self-esteem was hurt.

Hayes knew what Arenas was thinking, so ignore it.This dude really can't get Bobcats, let alone whether he will grab the boss position, it's a miracle that he hasn't been injured yet.

Bobcats starting lineup: Billups, Durant, Wallace, Hayes, Camby.

Nuggets starting lineup: Arenas, Jones, Anthony, Martin, Nene.

The game started on time, with Nene winning the ball over Camby with a good bounce.Arenas received the ball and suddenly started to dribble the ball across the half.

Anthony set a screen for Arenas in front of the three-point line.Because the offense played too fast, Camby has not yet settled inside.Arenas bypassed Billups, and relying on the speed of Gerald Wallace who passed the defense, he made a layup! 0 to 2.

It was too fast, and none of the Bobcats players could react. The ball had already been thrown into the basket, and Arenas, who was not injured, had a terrible offensive power.

Hayes sent the baseline ball, and Billups controlled the rhythm and fell into a positional battle.Arenas' desire to defend has never been strong, but his hands are as fast as lightning. If the defender is not careful, he may steal the ball.Billups still carefully took the ball across the half, inside Hayes and Kenyon - Martin scrambling for position.

Martin's body is very strong, even with multiple injuries, his speed can still keep up with the defender.Hayes is at a disadvantage in height and wingspan, and finally caught the basketball.Martin immediately took half a step back, putting a hand on Hayes' waist lightly.

It is not the first time that Martin and Hayes have faced each other. He is very clear about defending Hayes and cannot get too close, otherwise he may be turned around by Hayes.Martin has the confidence to defend Hayes' back hit, but if Hayes uses technology to play small throws, he will have a headache.When the Nuggets played the Bobcats last season, Martin had already been overshadowed by Hayes.

Hayes took the ball behind his back and observed the situation out of the corner of his eye. Camby had already pulled up to a high position. Nene and Camby were two steps away. Obviously, he wanted to double-team Hayes inside at any time.

Hayes turned to the middle, threw the ball behind his head with one hand, and passed it to Camby who was pulled high.Camby has the ability to shoot in the middle, and now he is emptied two steps away and has enough time to make a shot.If not, Hayes is really reluctant to pass it on to him.Camby's shooting action is uncomfortable to watch.

As a result, Camby was obviously out of shape today, the open jumper missed, and Anthony grabbed the backcourt rebound.Give it to Arenas.The Bobcats quickly returned to defense and did not allow the Nuggets to play a fast break.

Arenas passed to Anthony in the frontcourt, Martin pulled a high screen, Anthony broke through from the right, and Hayes hurried to make up the defense.Anthony made an emergency stop jumper! 0 to 4.

Anthony's shot point is also very high. As long as Hayes follows the defense a little slower, he can't interfere.But if you are very close, Anthony can rely on his strong body to lean on the opponent to make a breakthrough.For Hayes, Anthony is more difficult to defend than James, because James' offense mainly relies on breakthroughs, and the methods are relatively monotonous, but Anthony's jump shots are more accurate, and he is also better at using his body when breaking through.

Bobcats attack, the Nuggets still choose to put Camby.And when Martin defended Hayes, he made an unexpected move-defense around the front!
There are many teams before Hayes to go around the front defense, the Bobcats have two ways to crack.One is that the outside players shoot as soon as possible in singles, allowing Hayes to grab the offensive rebound, and the other is that Hayes quickly gets rid of it and goes to the other side to catch the ball.

Bobcats players usually choose the first option, because Hayes rebounds very well.Billups passed to Durant.The latter jumped high and made a jumper.Deng Tai-Jones could only interfere if he couldn't cover it, but Durant also missed the ball.And the ball bounced relatively outside. Although Hayes caught Martin in advance, he also judged the direction of the ball, but the ball was a little far away from him, and Nene grabbed the rebound.

The Nuggets immediately launched a counterattack. Arenas received the ball and accelerated past Billups, passing the ball to Anthony, who was fast on the other side.Wallace caught up with Anthony. Anthony lowered his head and rushed into the restricted area of ​​the Bobcats. Both of them were moving at high speed. If there was a serious physical confrontation at this time, Wallace would definitely be sentenced to a foul, so Wallace could only follow. Hand interference, blocks the shot while Anthony is making the move.

Anthony made a sudden stop outside the three-second zone on the left and raised his hands.Wallace looked over Anthony's shoulders and didn't jump, just raised his hands.He judged correctly, Anthony did not take off the shot, this is a fake action.However, the ball in Anthony's hand was passed out.Nene caught up with the ball from the middle, took two steps and dunked the ball with one hand! 0 to 6.

Nene is much faster than Camby.He is one of the few inside players in the league whose physical fitness can be compared with Stoudemire and Howard.

The Nuggets bloomed more at the beginning, but the Bobcats' offense has not yet found the feeling.

"Tactical No. 4, pass me the ball!" Hayes shouted to his teammates.

At this time, the leader needs to stand up!
