Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 80 [The strongest Spurs, the home of the devil]

The Rockets beat the Trail Blazers 101 to 85 away.

The future insider star Aldridge is now just a backup power forward, Brandon Roy is still very immature and is defended by Battier, and the Blazers can only rely on Zach Randolph for offense.

Zach Randolph scored 26 points and 12 rebounds, but Hayes was even more fierce, scoring a game-high 31 points with 13 rebounds and 7 assists.

But don't just look at the data and think that Randolph is a league superstar.The biggest characteristic of this person is that he puts all his energy on offense, and his defense is a mess, which is obvious to all in the league.Under his defense, Hayes had a scoring addiction.

Although experts say it is a senior cancer, Randolph's offense really has two brushes.Hayes defended him more than Garnett.Randolph's scoring methods are very comprehensive, he can use his body to hit the basket, and he can also make mid-range shots from the outside.His touch is softer than Boozer, and he uses his left hand, which makes Hayes very unaccustomed to defending.

However, no matter how beautiful the data is, it is useless. Winning is the key.After this season, the Blazers are ready to support Roy as the core and let Randolph leave.

On December 12, the Rockets flew to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs with a 23-game winning streak.

The Spurs also won a wave of five consecutive victories, which seems nothing compared to the Rockets.However, experts have predicted that the rocket's winning streak is likely to end today.

Because the Rockets haven't won at the AT&T Center Arena for 10 years, for them, this is a veritable home of the devil.

Unlike other devils' home courts in the NBA, the Spurs' home atmosphere is not very enthusiastic, which is related to the Spurs' playing style.They don't have much passion and win quietly.The game was too dull, and the fans couldn't get excited.

However, the Spurs have a way to make themselves a "devil" at home.

Since the game was broadcast live across the United States, the Spurs thought of a new trick to turn the atmosphere of the home court into a "white ocean". The team officially put a white T-shirt on the fan's seat. The purpose is to let the fans enter the stadium. Uniform dress to make the home atmosphere more obvious...

But why is it white?

The fans didn't see much enthusiasm, but Hayes felt like he had entered a funeral home, and the audience came to attend the funeral.

After entering the stadium, the first thing Hayes did was to find the commentary booth.

This game is generally considered to be a preview of the Western Conference Finals this season.Therefore, **TV broadcast the game live across the United States.What's even more rare is that ** Radio announced yesterday that the trio of Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley will leave the studio to comment on the game live.Barkley will be doing live interviews with players and coaches, while Smith will post live commentary on Twitter.

Hayes soon noticed a fat man on the sidelines waving at him.After a closer look, it was Charles Barkley.He strode to the front of the ** commentary seat, and said with a smile: "Hi, Charles, nice to meet you."

"Me too. I wanted to come to the game where you played the Cavaliers, but I just happened to be arrested for drunk driving." Barkley stood up and smiled.His head is round, his body is round, and even his voice gives people a very round feeling.

Hayes was sweating.No loss is "big mouth".

The two hunks hugged.

Seeing the largest "Hyme" in the United States, Hayes was very enthusiastic and hugged harder than Barkley.He was afraid that Barkley would not be strong enough to give him a broken back kiss, then he would have to go to the toilet to vomit for two hours, and he would have to miss this time again.

Barkley said: "I am optimistic that you will win the Spurs today, don't let me lose the bet."

"Thank you, didn't you bet on kissing your ass again?" Hayes smirked.

Barkley slapped him directly on the back. "Do you think I'm addicted? Are you playing against Tim today? You can play better in a while. Don't let Tim (Duncan)'s reputation scare you. You wrap him tightly and push him outside."

"He can't scare me. I'm targeting you, Johnson, Jordan and others. Today, the Rockets will win the Spurs." Hayes is not humble.Being humble to someone like Barkley will only make him look down.

"I'm sure you can do it. You know our conversation is being broadcast live, right?" Barkley laughed.

Hayes turned his head, only to find that a photographer was taking pictures of them. This is a bit big, and it will be embarrassing if it doesn't work well.

"Don't record the next thing," Barkley said to the cameraman, stepping aside with Hayes.

The two chatted for a while, and Hayes sighed and returned to the player's seat.

"What did that guy tell you?" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

"Taught me a few ways to hit the basket and how to defend... He also left a phone call, saying that he would find me to go out to gamble and pick up girls when he was free. He can find 10 beauties... I hope he is joking." Hayes Sweat.

Barkley is probably not joking, it is said that "Tiger" Woods was cheated by him.

"When attacking, we will follow our pre-match arrangement, with Chuck as the core. We will definitely beat the Spurs!" Jeff Van Gundy's face darkened, and he said seriously: "Chuck, today you have to defend Duncan all by yourself. , Whether you can win or not depends mainly on your defensive effect. Duncan is getting older, his movement speed is not as fast as before, and his offensive methods are relatively simple. You try to interfere with his shooting, especially his 45-degree angle hit the board.”

"I'll limit him," Hayes said.He waited for a long time, and finally waited to compete with the super power forward Duncan. Whether he can defend Duncan is an important part of the outcome of the game.This game is still live broadcast across the United States, which is the best opportunity to prove yourself.

Rockets starting list, Juwan - Howard continue to serve as power forward, Hayes appeared in the small forward position.

The Spurs' starting lineup had some changes. Oberto appeared on the bench in poor form and was replaced by blue-collar center Francisco Elson.The other four are Tony Parker, Ginobili, Bruce Bowen and Duncan.

Before the game, several commentators talked about the deal between the Rockets and the Knicks.

Smith said: "If the Rockets hadn't traded Wells away, this game might have been easier to play. Wells was excited as soon as he played against the Spurs. I don't know what the Rockets think. The strength of the team has been significantly improved, but now they let go, in exchange for the Knicks' blue-collar David Lee. Now it is hard to say whether David Lee can become a qualified substitute for Yao Ming."

Barkley said with a smile: "Except for Yao Ming, the Rockets lack insiders who are tall and able to grab rebounds. David Lee can be used as an insider substitute. Judging by the statistics, he is an efficient blue-collar player. This is a good choice."

Smith said with a smile: "The biggest problem for the Rockets in the first two seasons was that the bench players were too weak. Now the competition in the West is no longer a contest with the starting lineup, but a contest with the second team. The Rockets have a few good players on the bench, and they are capable. Against the Mavericks and the Spurs."

"It's too early to talk about confrontation." Ernie Johnson objected to the two Rockets fans. "I think the Spurs are better. Their experience is not comparable to the Rockets. The Rockets lack players with playoff experience, and none of the team has broken through the first round. This weakness will show up when they play in the playoffs. "

Barkley laughed and said: "What you said makes sense. When it comes to substitutes, the Spurs' bench lineup has not been very good in recent years. Tim (Duncan) is really good. He has held such a bunch of trash for many years. I have no problem being named the number one power forward of all time. I've never seen a guy like this, without a Hall of Famer around him, and just brought a bunch of international bums to win a few championships...don't tell me David Robinson, if I remember correctly, when Tim first arrived at the Spurs, that guy was about to retire. But I am still optimistic about the Rockets, because with Chuck (Hayes), don’t underestimate the basic salary MVP, He is much better than Yao Ming."

Barkley boasted about Hayes, and did not forget to black Yao Ming.

The Rockets have an astonishing record so far in the regular season, but experts are generally more optimistic about the Spurs.Because they are a team with championship background.The Rockets are more like the Suns in the previous two seasons, with strength but lack of experience.

The strength of the Spurs is the strongest in the league in recent years.It's just that the Spurs' luck is too bad. It has always been a strange circle that they can't win the championship in even-numbered years.

It can be said that they lost to luck. In 04, the Spurs and the Lakers fought 7 bloody games. In the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, with 0.4 seconds left in the game, Fisher made a two-point lore.The ghost believes that it is Xiaoyu's strength, and this is life.At that time, Duncan, who made the quasi-lore, was as confused as Liang Guo's "detection" in the movie "Little Soldiers"-what's the situation?

If the Spurs and Pistons played in the finals that year, the probability of the Pistons winning was at most 50%, because they were all defensive teams, and the Spurs were slightly better offensively.

The 06 Western Conference Semifinals battle was even more bizarre. Anyone who has watched that series knows that the Mavericks and Spurs played in a dim light.

In Game [-] of the Bulls and Horses War, the Mavericks trailed by three points at the end. The last attack was Dirk Nowitzki, and the main defender was Spurs guard Manu Ginobili. If this was a tactical arrangement, Popovich would definitely have It's a demon.

It’s fine as long as Ginobili stood aside and watched, but his stupid foul made Nowitzki play 2 plus 1 and drag the game into overtime. The Spurs lead by 3 points and there is no need to foul, even if Nowitzki Successfully scored two points in singles. With the Spurs' sophistication, the chances of winning the Mavericks by one point are great.At that time, the situation really made people suspect that the NBA also had match-fixing.After entering overtime, Stackhouse scored consecutively like a chicken blood and eliminated the Spurs.

If the Heat and the Spurs compete for the championship, can they come back and win the championship after falling behind 2-0?

The Spurs are strong.In this game, Popovich also gave a death order and must win the Rockets.It would be a shame for the Spurs if they were defeated by the Rockets without Tracy McGrady.

The referee tosses the basketball into the air and the game begins.

Yao Ming won the jump ball and the Rockets went first.The Spurs were man-to-man, with Duncan on Yao Ming, Els on Juwan Howard, and Hayes on Bruce Bowen.

Let Bowen guard me?Hayes was surprised.Bowen is very defensive, but he always defends the opponent's perimeter core.

Howard pulled out from the inside and set a pick-and-roll for Alston, and Hayes ran inside for the ball.

In the process of being stuck for the ball, Hayes had already experienced Bowen's little tricks. This guy pulled Hayes' underpants with his hands in the first round. Fortunately, the belt was tied tightly enough.

"You like my underpants so much? I will stuff your mouth after the game." Hayes said to Bowen while asking for a seat.

Bowen is an old man, so he didn't talk to him at all.

Hayes received a pass from Alston, turned his back and arched towards the inside.
