Chapter 226: Still Optimistic About Hayward!
The game restarted, Hayward led his teammates back on the court, and in place of Deron was Miles, a good scorer on the team, Miles was very talented in offense, but it was obvious that control was not good.
"Hey, it looks like Delong is sitting on the cold bench, but he deserves it, how did he say that kind of thing on the court? Not to mention it's a playoff game! But it's a bit difficult for DeLong to sit on the cold bench, so Jazz is a little difficult. Barkley shook his head and said.
Compared to Xu Jicheng, Barkley obviously wants to think more, although without the Delong Jazz team, no one can limit Hayward, but Xu Jicheng has forgotten the Jazz lineup!
As the only two point guards who can be used, Delon and Watson have always led the team separately! With Delon off the court, only Watson is left in point guards, which is not good news for the Jazz.
Hayward controlled the ball and entered the front court, and Summer looked at Hayward and couldn't help but wonder, "Oh~ My brother, are you on par with James?" Being a dad and a mom again? β
"Being a dad and a mom again? What do you mean? Hayward was a little puzzled.
"It means that the offensive organization will be arrested together!" Summer helplessly explained, after all, being a father and a mother is what Chinese love to say, and this foreigner must not understand.
"There's no way, you know there's only one point guard on our lineup after that guy goes down, and I have to take his responsibility." Hayward's words were also very helpless.
It can be heard that Hayward doesn't want to do this either, but Delong's mouth is so indebted that the consequences that have caused it can only be said that DeLong is self-inflicted.
"Okay, but I won't release the water even if you're tired, you know, I really want to send you home to fish."
"Fishing? Forget it, this kind of mentality-relieving activity is better for you to go, and I will lead the team to win the game! β
"If your confidence is good, then I'm looking forward to your performance." After Xia finished speaking, he began to defend in earnest.
Dribbling, Hayward began to observe the situation on the court, this Kirilenko can't pass, even if Yao Ming's defense is given to him, it's not easy to play, and Jefferson is too short, so there are only Bell and Miles.
Watching Miles Hayward, who was defended by Harden, passed the ball without hesitation, compared to Bell playing Lowry, it may be that Miles has a better chance.
Miles received the ball, facing Harden's close defense and couldn't help but look at Hayward, is this preparing to let himself be single? I haven't had a tactical run yet, and the defender isn't a big man, so it's really okay for me to play alone?
Shaking his head, Myers began to dribble and break through, since the ball is in his hands, let's hit one, if it doesn't work, just pass it out, Myers changed direction and accelerated directly through Harden's defense.
Breaking through into the three-point line, the Rockets' lineup began to shrink, and it can be seen that Yao Ming and Hassan are not far from the basket, and it seems that they are ready to help defend.
Harden broke through, and Miles stopped after only running a distance of two meters, this Harden is too heavy! Physical confrontation is useless!
Jump pass, the basketball flew into the hands of Jefferson who cut inside, Jefferson broke through to see Hassan return to the basket and hurriedly passed it out, Hayward received the ball again, there was not much time left, shot!
"Huh"
The three-pointer went into the net, and in the final seconds of offensive time, Hayward made a strong shot, which seemed to be lucky, and it was a hollow ball.
9:7
In the opening three minutes, the two sides played back and forth, and the difference between two points was not too big.
The Rockets attacked, Lowry organized, and passed the ball to Hassan when Hassan was about to cover, Hassan received the ball and turned to the basket, relying on his height and arm length Hassan put the basketball directly into the basket.
11:7
Exchanging the ball, Hayward dribbled through, but under the strict defense of the summer, there was no chance to break through to the inside, and Kirilenko couldn't sit still to cover him.
With the help of covering Hayward to break through into the inside line, because Kirilenko's cover quality is very good, Yao Ming has no way to follow Hayward into it.
Behind him is Yao Ming? Hayward pursed his lips, and then chose an opportunity to pass the ball out of the inside again, Bell saw the ball flying over and was ready to catch the ball and shoot, but at this time, a figure came out.
It's Harden! directly intercepted Hayward's pass, and then handed it to the fast summer, who received the ball without ambiguity, and drove the fastest and dunked one on the Jazz's inside.
βshitοΌ Is it really not suitable for playing as a playmaker? Hayward couldn't help but curse, the ball just now Hayward also knew that his passing action was too obvious, otherwise how could Harden, who was not defending Miles, kill it.
Blame yourself for everything, if it was Delon's pass just now, maybe you would be able to pass it to Bale accurately, but when I thought of the contradiction between Delong and myself, I couldn't help but sigh again.
It would be nice if Delon didn't have a conflict with himself, so Hayward could be sure that they would be able to play well.
"Oh roar, Hayward's bad pass! I have to say that Harden's judgment is really accurate, I haven't seen a steal like this for a long time, and he suddenly kills out! Gordon is already angry, haha. Barkley still commented with his big mouth.
"Are you still laughing? Didn't you say you were optimistic about Hayward? Are you still optimistic about him now? This organization is not something that anyone can do, and this Hayward can see that he has a lot of experience. β
"What's wrong with poor experience, Gordon is a genius, you know? I'm sure Hayward will adjust himself, knowing he's a strong contender for Rookie of the Year. Barkley had just finished Hayward, and then he would stand up and say good things about Hayward.
"Genius? I'll admit that Hayward has a lot of flair offensively, but it's only offense, and he's not far behind when it comes to playmaking and defense. β
"Smith, you have to believe what I say, Hayward is going to shine, he's got the air of a superstar, he's going to adjust himself." Barkley still had good things to say about Hayward.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to fight with you, but we bet you dare? We're betting on Hayward's assists and losing ass, and of course I'm talking about donkey ass, not mine, after all, you're so disgusting, I can't stand it. Smith said treacherously.
"Then how do you bet?" Barkley's eyes lit up, he felt that his opportunity had come, and he had been waiting for this opportunity for many years!
"How about ten assists."
"Ten? No, it's too much, and even a typical playmaker like James is averaging only 7.5 per game, so let's bet on 8 assists. β
"Eight?"
"Yes, there are eight of them."
"Okay then." Smith agreed a little reluctantly, but he was very happy in his heart, it seemed that Barkley was going to kiss the donkey's ass again this time.
