Chapter 100: Hayes's Defense
Chuck's arrival didn't cause any waves until the training match began. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The team's training games are all about perfecting tactics and testing newcomers, so Chuck Hayes and Sean are teamed, and Chuck's task is to help defend outside breakouts and top up Dwight Howard. On the first ball, Grant Hill made a solid pass to Dwight Howard, and everyone else pulled away, waiting for Chuck Hayes, who had Dwight singles tryout.
Chuck Hayes is 1.98 meters tall, which is shorter than Sean, but Sean plays the tallest point guard in the game, and Chuck Hayes is the tallest center and power forward in the game.
It's a little awkward.
Why did Hayes fail in the draft, in addition to the clumsy offensive skills, the biggest reason is because of height, the talent of height can never be changed, Hayes is twenty-three years old, more than three years older than Sean, the potential is almost gone, and the height must be fixed, which means that Hayes's defects in the center position will be very big.
If it's an interior player who is good at shooting, he will easily blow up Chuck Hayes, which is something that can't be helped.
But Dwight held the ball and played with his back to the single, just ...... It's so embarrassing.
Dwight's offensive level is so varied, Sean watched Dwight arch inside like a pig on the ground, without any rhythm and skill at all, he almost laughed, and what was even more difficult was that Dwight couldn't arch inside.
A lot of people think that inside singles is all about relying on the body, which is completely wrong.
Low-post singles are physically demanding, but it doesn't mean that you can have high physical fitness to be able to play low-post singles very well, Shaq O'Neal has been very anxious to shoot, but low-post offensive skills are very domineering, almost no one can do it.
Duncan, who first entered the league, didn't want to play center, because playing center had to be tough Shaq O'Neal, and as a last resort, David Robinson played the center position and Duncan formed a twin tower combination to win the championship.
Howard's speed, strength, and bounce are all amazing, but ...... The low-post offensive skills are miserable.
Chuck Hayes is much taller than Howard, but when he defends, he withstands Howard's power and can't arch hard, which is very embarrassing. After Howard arched for three seconds, he could only force a hook shot. It's a pity that Howard's hook hand is too unreliable, and Chuck Hayes turned around to get the rebound, and there was no suspense. If there was a coincidence in the first time, the defense of the second and third times proved the quality of Chuck Hayes.
Chuck Hayes is very strong in his lower body and can toughen Howard...... It's simply incredible.
Moreover, Chuck Hayes' speed is not weak, and he has an advantage when helping to defend. Although the height and bounce are much worse than Howard, it is impossible to have as strong a deterrent as Howard, but from the perspective of a blue-collar insider, Chuck Hayes has done a good job.
After only ten minutes of play, Chuck Hayes was replaced and then called aside by the manager of Audi Smith.
That afternoon, the Magic's official website updated a new signing, and Chuck Hayes signed the remaining one-year contract with the Magic until the summer.
The arrival of Chuck Hayes has brought some help to the Magic team, and now the Magic team's lineup is really a little weak, Dacko played forty minutes in the last game, and he was tired after the game, and Dacko couldn't stand it for the first time to play for so long. The Magic team is too short of interior lines.
After signing Chuck Hayes, the team welcomed its first opponent, the Dallas Mavericks.
At the beginning of the game, the core of the Mavericks Dek Nowitzki showed a very good competitive state, and Nowitzki's advantage in the power forward position was too obvious, with height, strength, speed, projection skills, and offensive skills, all too powerful.
Both Darko and Chuck Hayes were beaten and couldn't take care of themselves.
Sean was also in trouble today, and his hand was not a little worse than the last game. Defending Sean is an unknown player named Adrian Griffin, what kind of bird is this? Sean hadn't heard of it. But Adrian is the starting point of the Mavericks, and he is not the weakest link, Adrian defends Sean as a defensive spearhead, but Shaun suffers a lot.
There are a lot of players in the league who are very strong defensively, but not famous at all. Take Adrian Griffin, for example.
Adrian's speed and strength are very fast, and his height is not much worse than Sean, the difference between him and James Posey is that Posey can shoot and pass, Posey's three-point shooting is very good among role players, and after Adrian played, the Mavericks are almost one less person on the offensive end. But Adrian is still the unquestioned starter for the Mavericks, which shows how good Adrian is.
Adrian's defense is very standard, and when Sean is not in good shape, it is simply helpless to encounter such a defense.
In this game, Sean's mood didn't swell up after scoring 50+ points, and he was slapped by Adrian. The best performer in this game was Grant Hill, after Shaun attracted the Mavericks' defensive center, Grant Hill played very efficiently 10-of-19, with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Sean 13 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds, Dwight Howard 14 points and 12 rebounds, Darko 18 points and 7 rebounds, and the Magic held on until the fourth quarter.
It's a pity that in the end, the outbursts of Jason Terry and Nowitzki took away the Magic team in waves.
Nowitzki was like a hanger, 12-of-19 from the field, with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Efficient and scary. In fact, Nowitzki was so good against the best defense of all the best teams in the league that he withstood the pressure.
Sean, after scoring 50+ points, first showed some discomfort.
In this game, Sean was regarded as the focus of defense by the Mavericks, Adrian was almost an inch of defense, Nowitzki, Joshsmith was ready to help change defenses at any time, and such a defensive strategy made Sean very uncomfortable.
Even when his teammates were covering, Josh Howard was still very strong defensively after the room change.
It's basically impossible for Sean to make an easy shot.
Sean struggled very much throughout the game, not playing well, the Magic team also played averagely, Stephenson was also in poor shape in this game, and the Magic team lost the game by 6 points.
After losing the game, Sean, who was still in the hustle and bustle, suddenly got a different evaluation.
'He's a good player, he's got a good touch in a game, he's played well, that's all. People often put a score of 50+ in the regular season as a condition to become a superstar, but there's no denying that Sean Lee is still some way from becoming a superstar. When he is in good shape, he has a strong scoring explosion, but he is not a core player who can continue to output firepower for the team in extreme situations, and this is the difference between him and Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. ”
