Chapter 85

After the timeout ended, the Jazz's lineup was also adjusted. First, Kirilenko was off and Hayward was on. This may be Hayward's earliest appearance since entering the league.

When Hayward appeared on the stage, the light in Xia Tian's eyes also flickered. After such a long time, he was finally going to face Hayward again!
The Jazz attacked, and Deron reluctantly passed the ball to Hayward after he reached the frontcourt. The Jazz pulled away, and all the fans began to watch, watching the duel between Hayward and Xia Tian.

This is the peerless double pride of 10 years. They are two top-level figures in the third position, but unlike the fans, they are Jazz players. They have a distrustful attitude towards everyone in the Jazz Hayward team.

After all, it's just a rookie, and the average playing time is only more than 10 minutes per game. In the NBA where top players gather, can this rookie still be able to shake the sky?

But obviously when they thought about this sentence, they forgot about Xia Tian, ​​Griffin, and Wall. These three are also rookies, but they are flourishing in the league.

"Hey, it's been so soon, it seems that what I said is quite useful." Xia Tian said proudly.

Hayward also nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Xia. If it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't have played so early, but don't expect me to show mercy to you. I've been looking forward to this matchup for a long time. It's over."

"Hey, are you confident? Then come on! I never expected you to let go!" Xia Tian patted his chest after speaking, as if he was sending out a challenge.

The expressions of the two also began to slowly become serious. Facing Xia Tian, ​​Hayward first took a tentative step to investigate a few times, but after discovering that Xia Tian had nothing to do with it, he immediately began to dribble and break through.

Although Hayward's breakthrough is not as good as Westbrook's explosion, Wall's speed, and Harden's rhythm, it also has its own characteristics, that is, softness!
Although this kind of soft breakthrough is difficult to get rid of the defender, it can properly open the position of the defensive player. At that time, Hayward will have two options, shooting and anti-personnel breakthrough.

The former Hayward has enough space to shoot, while the latter is easy to cause fouls, and 2+1 is not impossible.

By the way, don't doubt Hayward's strength. Although Hayward appears to be a white man, in fact Hayward is a mixed race!In terms of strength, it is not lost to black players at all.

So after the breakthrough, Hayward made a slight effort and started layup with Xia Tian on his shoulders.

At this time, Deron, who was standing at a 45-degree angle, laughed. A rookie can only be a rookie, and he dares to hit this kind of ball!I'm really not afraid of being punished by the coach to sit on the bench after not making progress.

And the breakthrough was not fast, how did he get selected to the ninth place at that time!It's better to choose George, at least George's breakthrough strength isn't it, Deron thought of this and glanced at Sloan unhappily.

After all, as a player, you cannot participate in the operation of the team, unless you are a superstar like James or Kobe.

Hayward made a layup directly after the breakthrough, and after carrying Xia Tian forward for two steps, he suddenly jumped back high, with a standard [-]-degree arm bend and a slightly backward shooting posture.

"This is a backward jumper!" Xia Tian woke up with a start!
"Don't even think about it!" With a dry roar, Xia Tian jumped up high and wanted to block Hayward's fadeaway jumper.

But Xia Tian came a step late, the basketball was thrown by Hayward standard, skipped Xia Tian's block, and went straight to the basket.

"Shh."

The ball is in!
Hayward's first goal on the field was a single hit in Xia Tian.

Looking at the basketball falling from the net, Xia Tian shook his head in relief. Even if he hasn't played singles for so long, he can still be so accurate. It's really you.

Looking back, Hayward was sitting on the ground and giggling. It seemed that he was also very satisfied with his singles.

"Hey, get up, buddy, this is just the first ball, I will definitely pay you back the next ball!" Xia Tian stretched out his hand and pulled Hayward up.

Hayward was also very excited when he got up, "Come on! Our duel has just begun!"

After Hayward finished speaking, the two looked at each other, and after a while, they both laughed at the same time, quite understanding.

And Sloan, who was sitting on the bench, also nodded in satisfaction. Seriously, if Xia Tian hadn't praised Hayward so much, Sloan really wouldn't have given him a chance to make his appearance so early.

Looking back, Xia Tian received Harden's pass, and signaled his teammates to pull away, facing Hayward, he was ready to come by himself.

After tentative steps and dribbling, Xia Tian took a step back with his right foot after finding that he still couldn't shake Hayward away, and then quickly turned around and broke through.

Compared with Hayward's breakthrough, Xia Tian's breakthrough was faster and more violent. He passed Hayward with just one step, and then threw the ball out with a pull-up jumper.

Under Xia Tian's operation, the basketball entered the Nets steadily.

6:2
Xia Tian slammed his chest fiercely, and looked at Hayward, as if he was waiting for his response.

And Hayward's response came quickly. Deron threw the ball to Hayward after passing the midfield. Hayward changed direction with a crotch, broke through, and then stepped back and made a three-pointer.

6:5
Hayward's shooting is still so stable, even in sports games. His elegant shooting posture and standard ninety-degree bend make people's eyes shine.

"Hayward!" AJ's voice sounded, and the surrounding audience also shouted enthusiastically. Countless people compared their hands with three fingers, praising Hayward's three-pointer.

"Wow! This is all scored! Jazz's No. 5 rookie is good! He scored [-] points in a row. With this kind of skill, I really don't understand why the Jazz didn't let Hayward enter the starting lineup before. Compared with Kirilenko, he only has defense. Attacking Hayward is obviously a better choice!" Johnson praised.

Slowly, 6 minutes passed. During this period, it was basically Hayward and Xia Tian's singles, but even if it was just a two-person single, the audience present watched with gusto.

After all, Hayward makes a beautiful layup here, and Xia Tian will come back with a violent dunk over there. How can the audience not like this kind of game?It's like two stars going head-to-head.

All kinds of fancy fairy balls are endless, and the audience felt that the tickets were worth buying this time, because Jazz fans haven't seen this kind of star heads-up for a long time.

22:20
The Rockets led by 2 points.

这就是两位新秀交给球队的战绩，前者夏天8-6拿到了15分3个助攻，后者海沃德则是7-5拿到了12分2个助攻。

And if Deron didn't pass the ball to Hayward a few times, the score might be even higher. After all, Hayward is very hot now.

The Jazz continued to attack. Deron still didn't pass the ball to Hayward this time. He broke through after the team ran. This time Harden was blocked by Hayward and did not catch up with Deron immediately.

Deron also successfully entered the inside lane. Facing the empty inside lane, Deron looked happy and hit a layup with a low hand.

"Here's the ball!" Deron thought happily, finally he was going to score for the first time.

But just as he was laying up, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

And this shadow is also Xia Tian!

Xia Tian actually noticed Deron's breakthrough when Hayward was covering at the beginning, but Deron's speed was not slow, which made Xia Tian not follow up immediately.

But Deron chose to make a low-handed layup after breaking through, and he couldn't help it this summer!Anyway, I have a height of 2 meters!Are you so blatantly ignoring me?

"Snapped!"

The basketball was sent flying by Xia Tian fiercely.

Deron also looked at Xia Tian with a blank face, as if he didn't understand that Xia Tian appeared behind him for a long time, wasn't he still at the free throw line just now?How come so soon?
