Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 286 [Slaughter!Declaration of Champions! 】

In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats led by 41 points 22 to 19.

Barkley looked at the data sheet and shouted: "This game is too crazy. Chuck sent 8 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in the first quarter, and almost completed a triple-double in a single quarter."

Kenny Smith also said: "Durant is also very fierce, scoring 17 points in the first quarter. Now the combination of these two people can sweep the league. Howard got into foul trouble at the beginning, and others couldn't open it. The Bobcats lineup is much stronger than the Magic, even Camby and Wallace are on the bench."

Barkley said with a smile: "In the second quarter, both sides will usually come off the bench, and the Magic must be more troublesome."

With Hill playing late in the first quarter, Billups got a break.So at the beginning of the second quarter, the Bobcats sent a combination of Billups, Azubuike, Gerald Wallace, Bargnani, and Camby.

Veteran Camby didn't play until the second quarter. Such a lineup is not much different from the main players, except that Hayes is missing.

Magic players are a little bit worse.Point guard Anthony Johnson, shooting guard Courtney Lee, small forward Jeremy Richardson, power forward Brian Cook, and center Foyle.

The three main perimeter players needed to rest, and Howard couldn't play for two fouls.So the Magic is going to send all the substitutes to fight the Bobcats, trying to buy some time.Stan Van Gundy is betting that he doesn't want to have some of his main players play all the time in a regular season.

As a result, it was clear that the Magic lost their bet.Gerald Wallace has been on the bench for a while and has plenty of energy.His offensive ability may not be strong among stars, but against the Magic's current bench lineup, he is as fierce as a tiger in a herd.

The Bobcats came off the bench and played a double pick-and-roll tactic.Camby is in the high post, Bargnani is on the baseline, and Billups handles the ball.The reason for this arrangement is that Camby can only shoot from high positions, while Bargnani can shoot from any position.

Wallace first hit two mid-range shots from the high post, then cut in the bottom corner and dunked a pass from Billups.The Bobcats completely controlled the situation on the court, and the score was further extended. On the other hand, the Magic had no scoring points at this time, and they were completely chaotic.

In 2 minutes, the Magic were forced to replace Carter and Turkoglu.The form remained unchanged. After Carter came on the field, Wallace and Azubuike took turns to mark him. He couldn't find a chance to break through, so he could only shoot mid-range and long-range shots, and his shooting percentage was not high today.Although Turkoglu scored two goals, but the Bobcats' offense is still sharp, unable to catch up with the score.

Stan Van Gundy was sweating anxiously, while D'Antoni was chatting and laughing with Van Gundy easily off the court.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Bobcats asked for a substitution. Hayes replaced Bargnani and Lopez replaced Camby.

The Magic also replaced Nelson, Tony Batty and number one star Howard.

Dwight Howard is the strongest star of the Magic. Unfortunately, he is also the problem of the Magic.Howard is indispensable inside the Magic, which is a major flaw.

The Bobcats focused on this shortcoming. The Bobcats launched a positional attack. Lopez pulled up to the high position to cover Hayes. Hayes' emergency stop jumper has a very high hit rate and must be guarded against.

Howard knew that Hayes usually likes to dribble in disguise after a breakthrough, and if he is not careful, he may be passed.So he was focused, moving in small steps while judging Hayes' movements.He was one step away from Hayes, but this time Hayes didn't change direction to dribble, but dribbled the ball around the screener and suddenly accelerated and hit Howard, and the two fell to the ground together.

The referee whistled and Howard blocked the foul. "Warcraft" sat on the bench for more than a quarter because of foul troubles, but as soon as he played, he fouled again.

The audience cheered enthusiastically.Stan Van Gundy was furious on the sidelines.Shouted: "Why didn't you hit someone with the ball?"

Dribbling and blocking fouls are often encountered by referees in basketball games, and they are also a difficult point for referees to judge and deal with fouls.Because it is difficult to define, no matter how you blow it, it will easily cause dissatisfaction among coaches, athletes and audiences.

Howard didn't stand still when defending, but was moving to the side, and this is the home court of the Bobcats.Of course the referee has to call for blocking, otherwise he and Howard will be booed by the audience.

And 1 minute later, Howard failed to block a shot while defending Wallace, and was blown off by the referee...

Howard's personality is too impulsive. Whenever he sees the opponent rushing to the basket, he always wants to block the opponent.As a result, the second quarter was not finished, and Howard was fouled twice, with a total of 4 fouls, and was firmly pressed on the bench by head coach Stan Van Gundy.

At this time, the Magic had fallen behind by more than 30 points, and Howard was forced to leave the field again. The game had already been decided in the first half.

The Magic also thought about fouling Hayes and playing Hayes off the court to take the initiative on the court, but since entering the league until now, Hayes has not been sent off for six fouls in any game.He knows how to control his emotions and will never make unnecessary fouls, and sometimes he will not hesitate to let the opponent score in order to avoid fouls.

Some people say that Hayes has lost his momentum like this, and he is not as good as Kobe and James in terms of momentum.If you compare playing basketball to fighting, Hayes' approach is actually understandable.As the saying goes, "If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood." If you are sent off for a foul, it is like dying in a battle. People are gone. If you lose the war, it is meaningless to play beautifully.

At the end of the second quarter, Hayes was replaced and received thunderous applause from the fans. At this time, he had already scored a triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.Playing time is only 18 minutes.

Seeing Hayes off the field, Barkley said: "It is estimated that Chuck will not play again in the second half. His average playing time this season is only 32 minutes, which is the least among all top stars. Among the starters, Durant usually plays. Two positions, the longest playing time, but only 34 minutes, the Bobcats lineup is really strong, when encountering ordinary teams, the main players only need to play for 20 minutes to solve the problem."

Kenny Smith said: "Playing the Magic is so easy. There are not many teams in the league that are likely to beat the Bobcats. There are only the Eagles in the East. The Lakers, Timberwolves, Hornets, Spurs and other teams in the West can compete with the Bobcats. You feel What can they achieve this season?"

"I think they can break the Bulls' 72-game winning streak. There are not many teams in the league that can compete with the Bobcats, and the Eastern team is obviously weaker than the Western Conference. The schedule is favorable. Moreover, the overall strength of the Bobcats is now stronger than in 2007. Rockets, in this case, it is not surprising that they have the best record in history. I am waiting for a miracle to happen this season." Barkley laughed.

The game after Hayes really didn't play.In the second half, he sat down with Gerald Wallace and Billups to watch his teammates play.

Lopez, Landry, Camby, Bargnani four players take turns to play partner inside, the Magic can not take advantage of any.In the third quarter, Howard was substituted again. As a result, he defended Lopez and Landry and got two more fouls. In the third quarter, he committed "graduation" and was sent off.Bobcats also have a foul machine, that is George - Hill.

When he was defending Nelson, he was called a foul almost as soon as he had physical contact with the opponent. It wasn't that he was bad at defense, but that the Magic were beaten too badly by the Bobcats, Howard was troubled by fouls, and the referee wanted to find a balance.

In the NBA, rookies are always prone to being fouled by referees. Even Oden, who is the No. [-] pick in the new season, has been troubled by fouls frequently, let alone George Hill?
George Hill was sent off for too many fouls, and it was hard for Billups.Because the Bobcats only brought two point guards, he had to go up to organize the offense. Billups also had a strong desire to attack today. With Nelson's defense, he made several shots. Anthony Morrow, Mike Miller, Bargnani also felt very good today, and the Magic lost more and more.

The final score was 136 to 87, and the Magic lost by 49 points.This game is not at all like a confrontation between two playoff teams, it is more like a championship team ravaging the bottom of the belly.

杜兰特28分6篮板2助攻，比卢普斯18分4篮板7助攻，杰拉德-华莱士22分8篮板3盖帽，三人砍下了78分，在这样的火力下，魔术没有获得过任何翻身机会。

Howard had 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 fouls and left the field. The Bobcats didn't even use foul tactics.Others also played poorly, Nelson scored 16 points, Carter 14 points, but made 17 of 5 shots, Courtney Lee performed well and scored a Magic-high 17 points.This is Magic's only consolation.

After the game, Stan Van Gundy didn't find any reason. He believed that the gap between the Magic and the Bobcats was the gap in lineup configuration. A Hayes surrounded by three-point shooters made it impossible to play this game.

George Hill of the Bobcats also performed well in a limited time today, scoring 9 points. In addition, Anthony Morrow also made two three-pointers. .

D'Antoni was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic in the interview, and he was no longer humble. The Magic broke into the Eastern Conference finals last season. This season's lineup has not changed much. They have retained all the main lineup, but they were still slaughtered by the Bobcats. If they are as humble as before at this time, it will be very No momentum.

D'Antoni discussed with Jeff Van Gundy and decided to issue a championship declaration during the regular season, allowing the players to play as the favorites for the championship.

"As you can see, the current lineup of the Bobcats is almost perfect, able to attack and defend. Chuck relied more on his personal ability to support the team last season. Now he has a group of outstanding teammates around him. As long as our lineup is neat , No more injuries, the Bobcats will not lose to any team! We will reach the finals this season and win the first championship in team history!"

The reporters frantically took pictures, and issued a championship declaration in the regular season. This is very rare in NBA history. The Bobcats are really arrogant to the extreme.This is a press conference that can make headlines.The Bobcats don't seem to care about being treated as the worst enemy by other teams.In fact, even if they don't say these words, is there still a team that underestimates them at this moment?Even the Lakers, with the same strong lineup, don't think they can kill the Bobcats, so they rushed to send Walton at the beginning of the season to further strengthen the lineup.

The reporter interviewed Hayes again. "Mr. Hayes, do you think the Bobcats can win the championship this season?"

After the coach had spoken, Hayes was immodest and said with a smile: "I think it will be possible! All the players in our team are very strong. They played hard and successfully integrated into the offensive system in a short period of time. The other teams are both doubles. The core, the big three and other lineup configurations, and we can get 12 Luohan every game, everyone can play a role!"

"Ocean's 12" is a crime comedy movie starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. It tells the story of 12 people who rationally divide their labor and use high-tech to steal.It is indeed indispensable.
