Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 339 [Hai Ye Shows His Power! 】

The Lakers can't afford to lose this game, and the players' defensive actions on the court have also increased.Ariza performed very well in this series. He successfully restricted Durant and made his shooting feel a little unrecognizable. However, he was also replaced because of excessive defense and two fouls. Fisher was replaced, and Kobe returned. The shooting guard position.

With 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 20 to 22, and the Bobcats were two points behind. D'Antoni requested a timeout.

Chauncey Billups was also active this time, scoring 6 points.

"Kevin, good job. As long as Ariza is off, you should be better." D'Antoni said.

Durant made 4 of 0 shots and scored 2 points with only free throws. Hearing what the coach said, his black face was a little red.

Ariza's offense is average, and the defense is really tight.It is difficult for Durant to get an easy shot, unless it is a teammate covering or a breakthrough with the ball. Today, the Bobcats still mainly play Billups from the outside.

The best performer on the Lakers' side is Caron Butler. He also relied on his teammates' cover to break through the offense and currently scored 8 points.

"The Lakers' defensive moves are big enough, so don't be such gentlemen. Brook (Lopez) goes off, Marcus (Camby) goes up. The defense must follow." D'Antoni looked at Hayes and said : "Chuck, you can defend Gasol. Don't let him go inside easily. I believe you can disrupt his rhythm. When the opponent breaks through, you can also switch defenses immediately."

"Okay. If he finds the shooting touch, he will change." Hayes laughed.Although Gasol is 15 centimeters taller than him, he is still very confident.

Lopez was not very successful in defending the pick-and-roll today, allowing Gasol and Butler to attack the basket frequently. D'Antoni saw that Lopez was playing a little depressed, so he replaced him.

Playing against Gasol is good for Lopez's growth, but if he is abused too much, there may be some problems with his self-confidence.

Whenever the Lakers score a goal, the fans on the sidelines will cheer like thunder. Although the Bobcats are strong, they are also villains at the opponent's home court.Lopez failed to score in two singles by Bynum, and the fans booed neatly. Lopez, who is not used to being booed, was affected.

'Is it negotiated?The fans booed and cooperated so tacitly. ' Hayes just thought it was amused. 'Even so, the Lakers don't want to beat the Bobcats. '

"Chuck, step up your offense. We have too few inside points, so it's not good to continue playing like this." D'Antoni said.

"Chauncey passed the ball to me. I shot too little in the first two games. In the triangle offense, I went to the low post to ask for the ball, and Kevin ran." Hayes said.

Hayes has to make up for the loopholes in the defense, and he has to stand up if there is a problem in the offense.He played such a role in the Bobcats.

In the ESPN commentary booth, Jumbari commented on the game just now. "The Lakers' offense is mainly on the inside. The Bobcats are just the opposite. Their offense is initiated from the outside, but today their shooting percentage is not high. Hayes still regards grabbing rebounds as his top priority, and he has grabbed three rebounds so far. Offensive rebounds, 2 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, he still played very eye-catching today, I really don’t understand why a person with a height of 198cm can grab so many rebounds.”

"He just reacts quickly. In terms of judgment, Rodman can't compare to him. In this respect, he is the first in the league, and he is strong. But I don't think Hayes' style of play is good." Magic Division Johnson said he offered a different opinion. "I don't think Chuck played well enough in this series. He gave the offensive task to Billups. As the leader of the team, the Bobcats shouldn't use him as a blue-collar rebounder. D'Antoni's goal It should be to control the backcourt rebounds and play fast breaks, but the Lakers return to defense very quickly, and the Bobcats fast breaks are also difficult to play. The Lakers' defensive strategy is relatively successful."

The game restarts.

Hayes reached for the ball to the low post on the right, and Bynum was defending him.

Both Bynum and Gasol are tall and long arms. It is impossible for Hayes to squeeze into the basket and score easily by relying on strength, he can only rely on technology.Gasol will invest most of his energy on the offensive end, so the heavy responsibility of defending Hayes inside falls on Bynum's shoulders.

Billups lobs the ball to Hayes and runs to the baseline himself.Hayes leaned back without touching anyone, and he immediately realized that Bynum was not blocking.

'He didn't attack the post very much in the first two games, will he attack this time? Bynum thought to himself, he also studied Hayes' game video, if he was too close to Hayes, he might turn around and pass by him.He left half a step away, trying to block the block after Hayes made a move.

Hayes withdrew the ball and turned around.Bynum took a small step forward, Hayes took a step with his left foot, dribbled the ball with his right hand and handed it to his left hand, took the ball with his left hand and accelerated, one step swept into the three-second zone, the second step passed Bynum, his left hand Hook hit! 22 to 22.

Magic Johnson on the commentary booth said: "Hooking with a left hand, Chuck has improved a little bit. He didn't seem to be able to shoot with a left-handed hook before."

Hayes often practices his left hand, and often eats with his left hand when eating and writing.This made his left hand more and more flexible, and he developed a terrible sense of balance.He can shoot with both hands, making it more difficult for opponents to defend.

The Lakers attack, Billups and Fisher.Fisher's offense mainly relies on shooting and breaking through with a strong body. The means are very single, and it is easy for Billups to defend him.Fisher handed it to Kobe, and Kobe was going to hang the ball to Gasol.

This time he hesitated a little.Because the defensive person was replaced by Hayes.Although Gasol is nearly a head taller than Hayes, Kobe has a feeling that Gasol must not be able to handle Hayes.

'Pass it, Hayes is not omnipotent, Paul will hit the ball, I don't believe Hayes can defend it. 'Kobe thought for a moment, or lobbed the ball in.

Gasol felt like there was a wall behind him, and he couldn't squeeze in with his back.Gasol wanted to use the method of hitting Lopez to move to the middle, but Hayes blocked his breakthrough route with one step, and there was a tendency to push him out.

Gasol already knew in general that Hayes would not let him get into the paint easily. If he wanted to get in, he had to break through.Gasol feinted, then turned to the baseline.Hayes saw the opportunity and stretched out his right hand and slapped it on the basketball. The ball touched Gasol's leg and went out of the baseline.

Bobcats get the ball.

"You're too slow." Hayes walked past Gasol, smiling.

The Bobcats attacked, and Hayes fell down to the low post to ask for the ball. The man who defended him was Bynum.Hayes turned to the center after receiving the ball, bent his knees, raised his body with the ball in both hands and leaned back, all in one go.

'A fadeaway?It's not that easy! 'Bynum immediately judged that Hayes was going for a fadeaway jumper.Take a big step forward and jump up to block the shot.

Hayes just leaned back and didn't jump up.He raised his toes and retracted his center of gravity, jumped forward and hit Bynum again, and pushed the ball out with his left hand.The basketball hit the board head-on, and Bynum fouled.

After the extra penalty hit, 25 to 22.Hayes scored 5 points in a row.

"Don't jump forward when covering him, he will make a foul." Gasol reminded Bynum.

Back on the defensive end, Hayes guarded Gasol again.Gasol knew that Hayes couldn't block him, but he was very uncomfortable being defended because he couldn't find his previous offensive rhythm and couldn't get into the penalty area.

This time he chose a turnaround jumper after receiving the ball.In the split second of the jump, he could feel Hayes pushing his waist.When Hayes defended, one hand has been lightly on Gasol's waist.Just so gently, the referee will not call a foul.When Gasol jumped up, Hayes quickly moved forward half a step, pushed Gasol hard with his left hand, and raised his right hand to block the jump.

The referee's attention was focused on Gasol's shot and Hayes' right hand to block the shot. In fact, Hayes' push with his left hand was the key, directly turning Gasol's ordinary jumper into a fadeaway jumper.Although he couldn't even touch Gasol's chin with his right hand after the jump, the push disrupted Gasol's shooting rhythm and the shot went wide.

Camby grabbed the backboard.

'The bastard used petty tricks. 'This scene was seen clearly by Kobe.But the referee can't help it if he doesn't blow.Hayes rushed forward immediately after the defense, and Camby handed it to Billups.The latter was passed to Hayes, and Wallace was soon to come.The Bobcats formed a fast break, playing 3 and 2 in the frontcourt.

Hayes advanced in the middle, and Butler was in front of him. He looked in the direction of Wallace on the right, and slapped the ball hard with his left hand on the ground.This is a standard touch pass action.Butler subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the passing route, but the ball failed to pass, and Hayes slammed it on the ground with a loud sound, but it bounced straight.Hayes pushed the ball straight out with his right hand followed by a "Dragon Ball release wave". Billups on the left cut inside to catch the basketball, and Kobe defended him and scored. 27 to 22.

The Lakers attacked again, Kobe didn't pass the ball to Gasol, he couldn't bear it anymore.Hayes' small moves are very subtle, and the referee may not blow it if he sees it.Gasol can't get into the basket and it's hard to guarantee efficiency only by mid-range shots. After all, he is not Nowitzki.At this time Kobe thought he had to stand up.

He held the ball in one hand and pretended to pass the ball, shook it in front of Durant, and started to break through to the inside with one step.Kobe's speed has been much slower than in the previous two years. As soon as he passed Durant, Wallace immediately blocked in front of him and let go of Butler.Bryant right handed the pass to Butler on the weak side.Butler was 27-24 on catch-and-shoot.

The Bobcats unhurriedly organized the attack, and Billups handed the ball to Hayes.Hayes still asks for the ball in the low post this time.Bynum stared at Hayes intently.

'If you still use the action just now, I can definitely cover you. 'Bynum tensed his muscles and waited for Hayes to make a move.After Hayes got the ball, he dribbled twice and turned around to get the ball in the middle. He was already near the free throw line.Bynum followed very closely, and he was satisfied that he didn't let Hayes squeeze into the basket, and there was a tendency to take it out.A closer look revealed that Hayes had no ball in his hand.

Durant set an off-ball screen for Billups on the weak side, and Billups slipped past Fisher to the basket.Hayes saw the opportunity, turned around and gently sent the ball out with his right hand.Billups caught the ball and made a backhand layup.Kobe failed to cover again. 29 to 24.

The Bobcats hit an offensive climax.Fisher dribbled the ball across the half court and blocked Durant with his nearly round body. After receiving the ball, Kobe immediately dribbled the ball along the left three-point line and made an emergency stop at a 45-degree angle for a jump shot.

Billups made up the defense. He knew that if his height jumped slowly, he would not be able to overwhelm Kobe, so he took off after two steps as soon as he changed the defense. The timing was just right.The right hand blocked Kobe's three-point shot.

Hayes is preparing to applaud in the paint!I saw that when Kobe landed on the ground, he swung his right arm vigorously and smashed Billups' head, and Billups fell to the ground, because this is the movement of falling after shooting, the referee's attention is on the basketball On, without blowing the whistle immediately, Kobe picked up the basketball, made another shot, and hit a 3-pointer...

At this time, the assistant referee signaled to the referee that Billups fell to the ground, and the whistle sounded!
