Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 335 [Playing!High IQ player! 】

The Bobcats and the Lakers have a bit of a similar strategy, both strictly guarding against the opponent's breakthrough.Kobe faced Durant on the outside several times and missed jump shots. Unless he passed Durant, no matter how high Kobe jumped, Durant's long arms would always interfere with his line of sight. This is Durant's strong point .

The person who played the best in the first quarter was Billups. He had only one breakthrough, and his offense relied entirely on shooting. Lopez and Hayes helped him cover the position.Billups made 5 of 3 three-pointers, plus a mid-range shot and two free throws. He scored 13 points and sent 3 assists in a single quarter.

山猫32比24领先8分。科比在第一节还剩3分钟的时候就被换下，他用了7次出手，加上罚球只得到6分。

"Kobe, where did your assisting ability go in the regular season? Pass the ball, let Paul (Gasol) play Lopez in the low attack, Caron (Butler) and Trevor (Ariza) run to find opportunities , Andrew should pay attention to covering Trevor without the ball! Misplaced defense and then attack!" Phil Jackson was a little angry.He is the master of the triangle offense, and the Bobcats' triangle offense is even better today.

Kobe didn't say a word, his pride was deeply pricked.He was blocked by Hayes first, and then was interfered by Durant several times and failed to make a few shots. Is he so unreliable now?Can't even handle a second-year rookie?When Kobe was in the national team, he singled out Hayes and won.In order to make more shots on Hayes' head, he also practiced shooting during the holidays, but now he is suppressed.Kobe's self-esteem is particularly strong.He never said anyone was better than him.Now, he is reluctant to admit that he is not as good as Hayes.

Bryant was eager to hit back at Hayes on the court.As a result, he was blocked by Hayes using screens again and again, watching Billups, who was his main defense, score one goal after another.When defending, he once wanted to block Hayes, but the Bobcats made two passes to Durant and made an open mid-range shot.

When Kobe was excited, he wanted to solve the problem with his own ability, but he forgot that the biggest difference between himself and Hayes was that he was not good at helping his teammates score.

In the commentary, Barkley said with a smile: "Kobe played too fast today. His strength can be ranked among the top five in the NBA, but now he has not played to his level at all."

"Kobe's top five in the league, what about Hayes?" Smith laughed.

"Chuck's level can also be ranked among the top 5 in NBA history. I suspect that if Bird was in the same age as Chuck, he might be so devastated that he couldn't even speak trash. Kobe's personal ability is very strong, but unfortunately he is too He is easily affected by emotions, and since he was capped, he will only do it alone." Barkley began to talk loudly again, wondering how "Big Bird" Bird would feel when he heard this comment.

Hayes only shot once in the first quarter, grabbed 5 rebounds and sent 1 assist.Hayes screens for his teammates most of the time. There is no data on screens, but everyone who watches the game knows that he plays a very important role on the court. Billups's opportunities are all blocked. This is the Bobcats leading main reason.

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitute players to play.Bobcats replaced Rondo, Azubuike, Miller, Landry, Camby.

The five Lakers are Fisher, Kapono, Odom, Bu Laiqie, Anderson.

Lamar Odom and Bu Laiqie are the strength of the Lakers.The Bobcats are the most brilliant Rondo and Azubuike, the two broke through Fisher and Kapono's defense again and again.

Fisher sucks in this game.Because he was worried that he would not be able to guard Billups, Jackson did not let him start. Now he is coming off the bench to face Rondo. Rondo's speed can be ranked in the top 10 in the league. It is very painful for Fisher to defend.

The Lakers rely on strong attack inside, the Bobcats rely on guards to break through and shoot.

D'Antoni said to the main players off the court: "After a while, the substitutions will continue to attack with Chauncey as the core. Chauncey's scoring can stimulate Kobe. Kevin must be stricter with Kobe. He must really want to use goals to find face. .If the Lakers players cover, they need to switch defenses quickly. This game is mainly to defend against Kobe. Bynum and Ariza can relax a little. Kevin, when you go up again, reduce unnecessary dribbling and rely on your height advantage to shoot!"

Durant nodded embarrassingly. In the first quarter, he was intercepted by Ariza. Ariza's hand was very fast.

In the 6 minutes of the second quarter, the two sides sent their main players to the stage.Odom served as power forward, Gasol went to the center position, Butler was the small forward, veteran Fisher was not replaced, and Kobe went to his familiar shooting guard position.Jackson felt that he couldn't let Kobe play point guard anymore, and his performance in the first quarter might be more suitable for sticking the ball.

Bobcats replaced Durant, Billups, Hayes played small forward, replaced power forward Bargnani, center Lopez replaced Camby.

With a score of 43 to 38, the Bobcats led by 5 points and held the ball.

"Chauncey is responsible for passing the ball. Andrea and Kevin pay attention to running, catching and shooting. You have a height advantage, shoot boldly, and I will grab rebounds for you. Brook covered me and went inside." When he was on the court, Hayes said to teammates said.

This is a bit different from the tactics D'Antoni just arranged. The NBA is sometimes like a war, the general is outside, and the king's life can not be ignored!Only those who know how to adapt to the situation can become ever-victorious generals.Hayes saw that Kobe and Fisher were both there, and immediately suggested that the tall players shoot from the outside and rely on their height advantage to shoot the Lakers to death.

Bobcats attack position, Butler defends Hayes outside, and Lopez pulls to a high position.Billups dribbled the ball outside the right three-point line looking for opportunities, Durant went to the low post to ask for the ball, Bargnani ran out of the three-point line, Odom did not follow Bargnani, but stood Guard Durant in the low post, Kobe guards Bargnani.

After a few moves, the Bobcats players have a general idea of ​​the defensive positions of the Lakers players.Billups passed the ball to Bargnani. Bargnani turned to face Kobe at the top of the arc. He glanced at Hayes' running position out of the corner of his eye. Ziz's off-ball screen ran to the inside, and Bargnani pulled up and shot.

Kobe was defending in front of him, and Bargnani had a height advantage and would be interfered by the defense. His shot was completely hard.He dared to shoot because he believed in Hayes' rebounds.

Bryant couldn't block Bargnani's shot.The ball was shot very fast, with a flat arc, and it fell accurately into the basket. 46 to 38.

"Beautiful! Just play like this." Back in defense, Hayes and Bargnani clapped their hands.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe passed to Gasol, who singled out Lopez.This time Gasol dribbled his back twice, turned to the middle and hit a hook. 46 to 40.

Billups dribbled the ball over half court, and Fisher stuck to the defense.Durant kept running in the frontcourt. This time, Hayes changed the direction. From the bottom line, relying on Lopez's off-ball screen, he threw away Butler and rushed into the penalty area. Billups passed the ball to the counter-runner. Durant on the perimeter.Durant also turned around and made a jumper when he caught the ball.

Kobe didn't expect that the opponent would use this point as a gap to attack, and took off a little slower.Even if he took off quickly, it would be difficult to block a player with such a high shot point as Durant. Hayes went inside and blocked Gasol, trying to grab an offensive rebound, but this shot was made again. 49 to 40.

Durant smiled smugly after hitting a three-pointer, and Kobe was so angry that his blood pressure was high.Bobcats players all believe in Hayes' rebounding ability, his shots are firm, his mind is relaxed, and he can find his shooting rhythm even if someone is defending him.

Kobe was shot two three-pointers in a row in front of him, and he couldn't hold back his face.After receiving the ball, he did not pass it to Gasol and chose a personal breakthrough.His dribbling skills are nothing to say, without relying on screens, he used fake moves to pass Durant, Lopez defended, Kobe still didn't wear it, and threw the ball two steps before the free throw line. 49 to 42.

The Bobcats attack, Hayes relies on the cover to slip the bottom line, and Odom touches a through ball from Billups out of the bottom line.

Billups stood on the sidelines and prepared to serve the baseline.At this time, he found that the Lakers' defensive players were in a loose position, and Kobe focused on Durant, with his back to him.Gasol and Odom at the basket also have their backs to the basket.Billups made a plan and bounced the ball on Kobe's back...

Kobe felt his back was hit, and immediately had an ominous premonition. He turned his head quickly, and Billups had already rushed out from the baseline, received a rebound ball, and scored a jumper at the basket. 51 to 42.

"Oh, my God! Billups tricked Kobe." Jumbari exclaimed: "This ball is so beautiful. Bobcats sideline players are happy, and many players on the court don't know what happened. Kobe sure Depressed."

Magic Johnson shook his head: "The Bobcats played too loosely. It's not good for the Lakers if it goes on like this."

As soon as Johnson finished speaking, the Lakers requested a timeout.

Barkley said with a smile: "This ball fully demonstrates Billups' super high basketball IQ. He is very imaginative. The big screen shot was given to Kobe, and his face is not very good."

No wonder Kobe looked so good. His eyes were almost bloodshot after being humiliated by Billups, and his teammates didn't dare to speak to him.

The New York media conducted a survey on a group of NBA coaches and players before the start of the playoffs, and asked them to choose the active NBA player with the highest basketball IQ in their minds. As a result, Hayes of the Bobcats was recognized by all coaches and topped the list. Kobe Bryant In second place, Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd and Sun's Steve Nash ranked third and fourth, and Hornets' Chris Paul ranked fifth.

What is Basketball IQ?It's really hard to describe.It was a feeling of the game, and a high basketball IQ is extremely rare.No sport requires more split-second decisions than basketball.For example, in a baseball game, there is even enough time to think and then swing while waiting for the bat; in a basketball game, when the ball is in the player's hands, he can choose to dribble, pass, and shoot, and there are many options , have to make a decision in a very short period of time.

The survey results from the coaches and player groups also generally reflect the status of superstars in the league. Generally, superstars have a high basketball IQ. Although Wade and James did not make the top 5, they are also among the best.

Now it is Billups who is ranked 10th in basketball IQ. Kobe, who is ranked second, is being played like a clown. How can he bear it?How old is Billups in the Bobcats?He is not as popular as Durant and Lopez, and even less popular than Gerald Wallace.

For Bryant, it was a nightmarish first half.
