Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 293 [Evenly matched! 】

Billups was a player who entered the NBA in 1997, and his strength is still very strong, but Fisher, who entered the NBA in 1996, seemed a bit tasteless.

Derek Fisher is a fighter, he's a leader, he's a crunch time player.But if the Lakers didn't have a defensive loophole at the point guard position, they wouldn't have needed Kobe or Fisher to execute a key shot.Fisher's defense is so bad this season, his footsteps have become almost impossible to keep up with any defender, allowing opponents to shoot 52% from the field when facing him one-on-one. According to the new season data, Fisher This data ranks the third highest in the league, which shows that opponents regard Fisher's defense almost as air.Almost all teams encounter the Lakers attack from this point as a breakthrough.

"Zen Master" Jackson sat on the sidelines, still looking like an old monk in meditation, without changing players.He believes that Fisher can adjust the state.

Fisher took the ball upfield and handed it to Bryant.The Lakers don't need a point guard to organize the offense.Except for Payton's 5.5 assists in one year with the Lakers, there is no point guard with more than 5 assists in other seasons.Less assists have always been a shortcoming of the Lakers.This season, someone finally had 6 assists, and that was Kobe.

Kobe received the basketball through Gasol's screen, and then immediately dribbled the ball horizontally away from Durant, who was defending, and stopped at the top of the arc to shoot. Blocked, Bryant passed the ball to the hands of Ariza on the weak side.

Ariza ran out of the three-point line by "Birdman" Anderson's off-ball screen.Because he circled the baseline, Hayes didn't have long eyes behind his back, so he reacted a little slower. When he switched to the outside line, he was slower. Ariza caught the ball and made a jump shot. The ball arced flat and fell into the basket. 51 to 52.

'I wipe!It was thrown into it by a flat iron! Hayes murmured in his heart, and the Lakers prepared to attack at halftime.

Ariza suffers from flat feet, commonly known as "flat feet". Although it does not affect normal life, for athletes who have been in a high-confrontation environment for a long time, flat feet greatly increase the probability of injury. When landing, flat feet will make the Achilles tendon suffer more impact, which also planted a ticking time bomb for Ariza's career.Ariza shot very poorly.Can't prevent Ariza Hayes feeling like a failure.

The Bobcats still handed the ball to Billups.Fisher was very depressed when Billups threw two consecutive three-pointers on his head. This time he followed closely and was ready to jump up and block the block at any time. Billups didn't plan to shoot again and handed the ball to Hayes who was pulled outside the three-point line.

'Even if the arms of your two big guys inside are long, there are still loopholes in defense. At worst, I won't go inside and play. ' thought Hayes, keeping the ball behind him while watching his teammates move.Lopez stepped forward to cover, Hayes dribbled the ball and turned away from Ariza, broke through from the middle to the inside, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop! 53 to 52.

The Lakers' defensive formation is also 122 zone defense, and it is Paul Gasol who defends.Gasol is already considered fast among interior players, but he is still much slower than Hayes.Hayes has already made up his mind, and he will hang out on the perimeter today.Kill the Lakers.

At this moment, the Bobcats feel good, but the Lakers' offensive efficiency has also come out.Gasol went to the low post to ask for the ball, Kobe dropped the ball inside, Gasol took the ball and dribbled two steps to the middle, his super long arms were fully stretched out, and he hit the hook right at the basket!Such an offense, Lopez simply can not block. 53 to 54.

When it comes to Garnett, the first thing people think of is his step-back jumper; when it comes to Duncan, people think of his practical shot on the board; but when it comes to Gasol, people can't think of anything. What a trick.In fact, Gasol has too many offensive methods. He knows everything, but he doesn't have a common trick.Pau Gasol became the Lakers' first scoring point against the Bobcats today.

Hayes once again pulled the ball to the top of the arc, and Lopez stepped forward to screen and block Ariza.This time, "Birdman" Anderson followed him. He moved faster than Gasol. Seeing this young and Dangerous boy who may even have tattoos on his lower body, Hayes would not immediately solve the problem with a jump shot. Anderson Averaged 2 blocks per game this season.

If you rush forward quickly, then just take advantage of this.Hayes made an emergency stop with the ball and bent his legs. As expected, "Birdman" Anderson opened his arms and flew up in the process of accelerating forward.The physical fitness is amazing.

'This is still drugged, real cow! 'Hayes wasn't impatient either, all he wanted was to shake Anderson up.Immediately took off to face Anderson.Foul!
Anderson was in the air, unavoidable, and collided head-on with Hayes.Hayes pushed the ball out with one hand and missed.However, the foul was successful.

Hayes made two free throws. 55 to 54.

The Lakers attack, and Anderson pulls up high to cover for Kobe.Hayes made up defense and went outside to deal with Kobe. Lopez's defense is not enough, the speed is too slow, and the experience is not enough.Durant bypassed Anderson and double-teamed Kobe with Hayes.Kobe took a step to the side, passed back to Anderson, and Anderson hit a high jumper! 55 to 56.

Anderson's offense is not very good, but he can also shoot mid-range shots, and there is only one position that is more accurate, which is the high post.So he can't just let it go.

Bobcats and Lakers started a fierce confrontation.

The Bobcats attack, Lopez goes to the high post to make an off-ball screen for Hayes, Billups passes the ball to Hayes from the right side, and then runs in the direction of Hayes himself.Hayes stood still, blocked Fisher, and handed the ball to Billups who plugged in.Billups dribbled inside and passed the ball to Durant, who cut from the baseline.Durant jumped up after receiving the ball, took the ball with his right hand, and dunked with one hand!
There are people under the basket, and Durant is about to dunk Gasol.But his opponent is not just Gasol.Anderson turned around and gave both Hayes and Billups "at ease" to Fisher for defense, rushed to the basket, and blocked Durant.

If Durant didn't rush so hard at this time, and passed the ball back to Hayes, Hayes would get an open shot, but Durant didn't have such a good pass awareness, and his mind was full of dunks!

"Birdman" Anderson took off and successfully pressed the ball with one hand, destroying Durant's dunk.Durant is on his side, Anderson's head almost hits the backboard...

Gasol, who was closest to the basketball, picked up the basketball and passed it to Kobe.Durant hasn't gotten up from the ground yet, only veteran Mike Miller returned to the defense in time, and the two were one-on-one.Kobe dribbled the ball and rushed into the penalty area, dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left, avoided Miller's defense and made a layup with a low hand, and scored! 55 to 58.

The Bobcats attacked, and Billups was still handed over to Hayes.Lopez pulls to a high position and evacuates the inside of the Lakers, otherwise it will be difficult to break through to the inside.Hayes dribbled the ball and attracted Anderson's defense. This time Anderson learned the lesson and didn't take off, just followed Hayes.Hayes' jumping ability and bullet speed are very average, and Anderson has the confidence to take off and cover his jumper.

But Hayes is not only good at jump shots, he took a step forward with his left foot, and Anderson's center immediately moved to the right. Although he is very good at blocking shots, defensive breakthroughs are not his strong point.Hayes immediately pulled the ball back and changed direction to take the ball to the right, throwing off Anderson by a position, making a sudden stop and jumping.Ariza saw that Anderson was out of position, and immediately let go of Durant to defend Hayes from the weak side.Hayes has been observing the situation around him from the corner of his eye, making a fake pass and passing the ball to Durant.Durant missed an open mid-range shot... Gasol grabbed the backboard.

The Lakers attacked, and this time Kobe used Anderson's cover to break through and make an emergency stop jump shot. Hayes was a little slower again. Although his hand was sealed to his face, Kobe still scored this goal! 55 to 60.

The Lakers players were playing very well during this period, and the Bobcats requested a timeout.

Magic Johnson said: "The Lakers hired Anderson this season to pick up a treasure. Although Anderson's offense is not very good, his blocks and dunks are very morale-boosting. He has completely replaced Mbenga and can get about 20 minutes per game. playing time. The fans love him now."

Jumbari said with a smile: "Who said Birdman didn't attack? Didn't he hit a mid-range shot just now? It's more accurate than Durant. Durant didn't make an open jumper."

Johnson laughed and said, "I guess Durant was knocked out by that cap when he dunked just now."

Durant was indeed a little dizzy, but it wasn't because of the injury, but because he felt ashamed that the dunk was blocked. Many Lakers fans just shouted "Birdman! Birdman!" which made him feel very uncomfortable.If he was covered by Gasol, he would have endured it, but the opponent was a marginal man with a basic salary who had been playing without the ball.

Billups didn't play resolutely enough during this time. Fisher followed him a little tighter, making it difficult for him to shoot from the outside.

D'Antoni said: "Chauncey stepped up to break through and score the ball. Chuck went to the outside to attack, Gerald came on and played the inside, Kevin went off, take a rest first." D'Antoni saw that Durant might be blocked and affected his emotions. Need to calm down.

Gerald Wallace's three-pointers are not accurate. Let him serve as a power forward and Anderson's defense will not cause any problems. His rebounding ability is not weak, and his speed is faster. If Anderson defends him, Wallace You can take advantage of your breakthrough.

But after the start of the game, the Lakers made adjustments to the lineup, replacing Anderson and Ariza, and replaced Odom and Artest.Odom as power forward, Gasol to the center position.

In this way, Wallace lost his speed advantage against Odom, and the Lakers stepped up their offense.

"Chauncey, keep passing the ball to me," Hayes said.At this moment, his teammates are a little bit out of control, and he is ready to take on the heavy responsibility of offense.

"The pick-and-roll?" Billups asked.

"That's right!" Hayes said.

Wallace nodded too.

Bobcats right to the ball.Hayes evaded Artest with Wallace's screen, Odom switched, Lopez did a second pick-and-roll, and the man who defended Hayes was replaced by Gasol.Hayes immediately lowered his body and accelerated the frequency of dribbling. Without any fake moves, he relied on an acceleration and lowered his body to pass Gasol like a wolf.Gasol's height is an advantage, but defense against the perimeter becomes a disadvantage. His body is too low to prevent breakthroughs.Hayes went inside, took the ball with his left hand, and took off with one step. Kobe came up from the weak side to block Hayes' layup.

Hayes jumped in the air with his left hand retracted, and the ball was handed over to his right.Half turned and backhanded the ball to Mike Miller in the left corner.Kobe left Miller wide open to defend Hayes.

Miller's open three-pointer, piercing Yang! 58 to 60.

The scores of the two sides continued to be stalemate!
