Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 341 [Two kinds of invincibility! 】

In the first half of the game, Kobe finally scored 5 points in a row, and the Bobcats trailed 59 to 67.

The only point guard the Bobcats can use is Rajon Rondo. His shooting ability has been criticized, otherwise he may be able to replace Billups as the main force.But this shortcoming makes the Lakers' defense a lot easier. Fisher can put Rondo two steps away, preventing breakthroughs and making shots. At least he doesn't have to worry about Rondo scoring a jumper like Billups. I can only try my best to break through to the basket, but the Lakers have a lot of people under the basket, how can it be so easy to score?
科比半场拿到19分4篮板2助攻，海耶斯11分8篮板5助攻。科比得分略胜一筹，海耶斯更为全面。

When "Magic" Johnson commented on the game, he said: "The Bobcats lack Billups, the Lakers are likely to win at home, and they may take the lead in the next game. This is a time that can be reversed. The sudden event of the whole game. The Bobcats now only have Rondo at guard. Of course, Hayes could also play point guard, and he can do it."

Jumbari said regretfully: "Kobe's ball that hit Billups was not called a foul. The Bobcats are in a good situation. It's really unlucky. Rondo's strength can't be compared with Billups."

"Rondo is also good. He had a triple-double with Hayes in the regular season. When Billups was out, he played as a qualified starting point guard. Fisher was afraid of him. With this kind of speed advantage, if the Lakers want to win the game, it still depends on the performance of Kobe, Gasol and Butler. Hayes unexpectedly succeeded in restricting Gasol in the first half. 8 points."

"Gasol was pushed outside the penalty area, and his shooting touch was not very good, so Kobe started to attack now." Jombari looked at the record and said: "Kobe's scoring momentum is good today. If he keeps it up, he should create this series. A record high in the game.”

"Yes. When the team can't open the inside, Kobe and Butler must stand up and score." Johnson said: "In this series, Hayes' statistics have declined, but his role in containing the defense is still not enough. Neglect, and he is the rebounding leader in the playoffs, and he is still the most efficient person on the court. His shooting percentage in the first two games was as high as 68%. It is very rare to be so stable in the finals. Just look at the control of the game situation Strength, no one can match Hayes."

Hayes has developed a style on his own.

A strong basketball player cannot be achieved by hard training, because it requires physical talent. Hayes must find a way to play that does not require good physical fitness and is invincible, so he became what he is today.

Jordan was sitting on the sidelines watching the game. During the intermission, a female reporter interviewed him and asked a question: "Mr. Jordan, do you think you were stronger when you were young, or is Hayes stronger now?"

"Why do you ask that?" Jordan asked back.

"Because the outside world generally thinks that Kobe is the person who resembles you the most, and you yourself have admitted that his style is the closest to yours. You had 63 points in the playoffs, and Kobe's highest score in the playoffs was 50 points. Had an 81-point performance. Who do you think will win the championship, the Bobcats or the Lakers?"

Jordan shook his head and smiled wryly: "Your question is deliberately making things difficult for me, right? If the Bobcats win, you will say that Chuck surpassed me. Of course I think our Bobcats will win the championship. But Kobe is not me, There will never be an answer to who is better between Chuck and me in my prime. My Bulls will never have a chance to play against the Bobcats. As for who is better between Chuck and Kobe, I can definitely tell you that Chuck is better. I think When Chuck retires, there will definitely be a group of people called Chuck Hayes' successors in the league. But I am afraid there will be no Kobe successors in the future."

"In the first two games of this finals, Hayes' statistics are not as good as Kobe's." The female reporter in Los Angeles asked again.

"So did the Lakers win? Kobe's style of play is indeed very similar to mine, but my style of play back then may not be feasible now. I entered the Hall of Fame, which is the real grave of stars. Entering it proves that My era has passed. If you only look at scoring ability, Chuck is indeed not the strongest, but he can bring about a revolution in the NBA. After he arrived at the Bobcats, I realized that winning can be so simple. Even if There is a Jordan, I don't think the Bobcats need it, Chuck is the perfect guy for the Bobcats. He's already changing the league, not taking over in the circle of our old Hall of Famers. That's how strong he is My performance made a group of young people worship me and regard me as a basketball god. It was difficult for them to reach my height. Chuck gave hope to those young people who were not physically strong enough. As long as you work hard, anyone Anyone can become a god!"

Jordan's words are very meaningful.The Hall of Fame is the grave of a star. Now that he has entered the grave, fans can hang his name on the wall with the names of many so-called great stars and choose to forget it slowly.Many young people have never watched Jordan's game, but only know that Jordan's style of play is very similar to Kobe, so they admire Kobe's 81 points. Kobe averaged 35.4 points per game in the regular season, leaving emotional memories in the hearts of young people.Kobe has attracted people's attention in the name of Jordan's successor, so people's understanding of basketball today is still limited to the circle that Jordan set for everyone, and this circle is outdated, and even Jordan himself disdains his own Bobcats There is another Jordan.

Because of this, it is necessary for someone in the league to rescue those who are deeply poisoned by basketball.

Jordan was the first person to change the NBA.It is his "invincibility" that makes people ignore that basketball is a sport that values ​​​​the collective.

A lot of people have learned to look at the stats, not at the credit their star teammates deserve.Jordan is not omnipotent, it is his team who sacrificed for him and made him omnipotent under the circumstances at the time.This kind of thing makes people lose their rational judgment on the essence of team sports.For example, today's James, Wade, Kobe, etc., a person's data does not tell the whole truth, and even shows a gorgeous illusion. The truth is that he can win.

Jordan's statistics are fantastic, and the 10 scoring trophies are unprecedented and unprecedented, which completely conceals the fact of selfishness.There are more and more people playing against the development direction of basketball, emphasizing gorgeous statistics and individual heroism.The first to bear the brunt is the "combo guard". By Iverson's peak period, the position of the point guard who was supposed to organize the offense was already in chaos.There are still many people who still think this style of play is correct.

Jordan's successor?Jordan never said "XX is my successor" to the media.Why?Because he didn't think it was necessary.When the Wizards came back, he couldn't bring the team into the playoffs. He felt that his style of play couldn't keep up with the trend of the times.

Jordan was a scorer from start to finish.A scorer with deep internal strength and skilled tricks.Back then, Pippen even helped him fulfill the responsibilities that a leader should fulfill. Experts say that many people have better basketball talents than Jordan.

Jordan's appearance has affected many people's judgment of leaders, thinking that leaders are rushing with the ball at critical moments.So is Jason Kidd the leader?What should he be?

When the Mavericks defeated the Heat led by the Big Three in 2011 and finally won the championship, Nowitzki, who won the finals MVP, said: "Kidd has experienced almost everything in the league. He is one of the greatest leaders. Always make the right choice.”

When Kidd finally fit in with the Mavericks, they won the championship.Nowitzki is the most important scorer, but people will not forget the 38-year-old Kidd.

Yes, this is a victory for the whole.This is the biggest difference between the Mavericks and the Heat.The Heat rely on three superstars to win, and the state of James and Wade almost completely determines the final result of the game.The people of Dallas relied on the will to unite as one, and with the unyielding energy, they pulled down the Big Three.

Before the start of the finals, most people are still optimistic about the Miami Heat with the Big Three. There is an apt analogy: the Mavericks’ Nuo Tianwang, Terry and Kidd are like A, K, and Q in poker, but they The Heat are the "Leopards" with three A's.That's right, from the perspective of stars, there is really no team that can compete with the Heat.But basketball is not a sport for three people, and sometimes a small role can still make a big difference.

At the start of the second half, the Bobcats replaced a little guy - Weaver!He replaced Durant, who was not feeling well.

"Marcus and Chuck protected the backcourt rebounds, and the other three made a fast break." D'Antoni said: "Van (Weaver), Gerrard, as long as you see your opponent's shot misses, you should quickly get off the ball and shoot the ball. Be firm! Rajon pushes and breaks the ball. Set up Gerald and Marcus to screen, and Chuck holds the ball."

The Bobcats' center was replaced by Camby, and D'Antoni was ready to seize the disadvantage of Gasol and Bynum's slow speed for a fast break.Compared with Fisher, Kobe, and Butler, the speed advantage of Rondo, Weaver, and Wallace is also very obvious.

On the Lakers side, the triangle offense still relies on star singles.Gasol didn't take advantage of Hayes several times in singles in the second quarter, and he didn't feel very good, so the Lakers gave up continuing to attack him.

Fisher passes the ball to Butler.Butler took the ball and stood still, Kobe ran laterally to receive a pass from Butler, took advantage of the opportunity to shake off Weaver, and entered the three-point line to make an emergency stop jumper.Wallace switched defenses and jumped up to block the shot. The middle finger of his right hand was only 0.01 cm away from Kobe's eyes. If he hadn't cut his nails before the game, Kobe would have been poked in the eye like Stoudemire.

Faced with such a fierce defense, Kobe shot as resolutely as if he couldn't see Wallace's fingers, and his touch was still very soft.The ball hits the net hollow. 59 to 69.

Bobcats position to attack.Hayes pulled to the perimeter, and the Lakers adopted a 32-zone defense.Butler followed Hayes outside.Hayes caught the ball under the cover of Camby, changed direction and dribbled past Gasol and broke into the inside line. He took the ball with one hand and took two small steps. It seemed that he was about to throw a shot, which attracted Bynum defense.

As soon as Bynum came over, Hayes jumped up gently, sent the ball from the side of Bynum, and handed it to Camby under the basket.Camby was completely emptied and dunked the basketball with both hands! 61 to 69.

Kobe caught the ball in midfield, took two steps forward, and suddenly pulled up a jumper at the top of the arc to shoot a three-pointer.This time it was Weaver who was in charge of defending Kobe.Weaver missed the block and made another shot! 61 to 72.

Hayes continued to pull up to the high position. This time he caught the ball without taking it, and sent the ball to the basket with both hands. Rondo used Wallace to cover the bottom line to break through, received the ball, avoided Bynum's block and scored a layup . 63 to 72.

Kobe Bryant is invincible offensively when he finds the touch, and Hayes' combination of sudden points is also difficult to guard against.Who will win the third game?
