The 4-5 Utah Jazz faced the 8-3 Eastern Conference powerhouse Atlanta Hawks, and not many were optimistic about the Jazz's prospects before the game began. But to everyone's surprise, the Jazz forced last year's Eastern Conference regular season No. 1 to the final moment.

In the final 13 seconds of the race, Hayward was still actively running. After being in the league for so many years, his college teammate Yiyang has won three O'Brien Cups. Shervin. After joining the Mavericks midway through last season, Mark also got his wish for a championship ring. But what about Hayward? Not to mention the championship, he has only played in the playoffs once in six years!

Hayward knew that he might not be as great as Yiyang in his lifetime, but he didn't want to be mediocre anymore. Lead the team to the playoffs, that's what Hayward aims to do this season!

In the West, it's not easy to make the playoffs. The Jazz will have to give their all every game to have a chance of finishing in the top eight.

So today, the game was already in the final moments, and Hayward didn't want to just give up!

Don't give up easily, this is actually the biggest feature of this year's Jazz team!

The muscular Hayward took cover to shake off "Swiss Army Knife" Sefrosa and received a pass from Brazilian guard Neto just outside the three-point line on the right wing. By this time, Sefrosa had already pounced again, but Hayward was not nervous, and he calmly threw his shot. It's not the first time Hayward has experienced shooting at critical moments.

The Swiss turned his head in despair to see the basketball crash into the net, undenied. The fans exploded instantly, and with 7.4 seconds left in the game, Hayward's three-pointer gave the Jazz a valuable one-point lead! Quasi-lore! The white guard delivered a quasi-lore that pulled Jazz back from the brink of death!

In the final seven seconds, the Eagles didn't pull off a miracle. After all, not all teams have the toughness of the Jazz. The one-point gap was maintained to the end, and the Utah Jazz scored a hard-earned victory!

"Gordon. Hayward, his progress is incredibly gratifying! With a quasi-lore, Hayward dragged the first place in the East off the horse! "Reggie. Miller was full of praise for Hayward, knowing that shooting from beyond the three-point line in the final moments would be under a lot of psychological pressure. However, this seemingly elegant white striker endured everything and then shot for his life!

With 26 points, five rebounds and four assists, Hayward was undoubtedly named the best of the game. Hayward's appearance has changed dramatically this season, and he has attracted countless fans. However, he also used his practical actions to prove that he did not just rely on his face to attract fans.

At the post-game press conference, Hayward was the focus of reporters' attention. The top star of Butler University at the time has finally begun to call for wind and rain in the NBA.

Hayward's quality this season has been gratifying, and on both ends of the floor, the native American white forward has not had much to offer. And the current Hayward is more brutal than people imagine, don't look at him as a white man, but his physical fitness is very strong. Many people may not believe it when they say it, but Hayward's breakout is really much like LeBron at times. James!

Another summer of hard work with Yiyang has made Hayward shine this season. Reporters asked Hayward a lot of questions, but the most talked about was the Jazz's next game.

"In the next game against old friends, do you think the Jazz can win?"

Hearing Yiyang's name, Hayward smiled even more happily. Everyone is at a loss at the mention of Mavericks and Yiyang, but Hayward and Stevens are two exceptions.

These two guys both know how powerful Yiyang is, but they can't help but want to fight him.

"There is no doubt about the strength of the Mavericks, but believe me, this season's Utah Jazz will not be slaughtered again." Hayward Hammer shook his hands, he thought that this year, he should be able to wrestle with Yiyang!

※※※

Hayward has a few pounds and a few taels, but Yiyang knows it very well in his heart. From the beginning of college until now, they have been training together for a period of time almost every summer. Although Hayward's progress has not been as fast as Yiyang's, it is still very noticeable. Over the years, Hayward has climbed up one step at a time.

Hayward averaged just 5.4 points per game in his rookie season, but that number rose to 11.8 the following year. In his third season, he averaged 14.1 points per game. In the 13-14 season, the average points per game became 16.2. Last season, Hayward averaged 19.3 points per game!

Hayward is improving almost every year, and every time he trains with Yiyang, Yiyang finds that this guy is more than a star and a half stronger than last year.

Hayward's very uniform growth curve has made all Jazz fans have high hopes for him. This season, Hayward has undoubtedly become the number one star on the Jazz team. And this, as early as the summer, Yiyang was already able to foresee.

At that time, Yiyang told Mougins that Hayward's guy had changed more than just his appearance. Now, Hayward's performance undoubtedly confirms the correctness of this statement.

Therefore, although the Jazz's current 5-5 record is not impressive, Yiyang still does not underestimate this opponent. As long as Hayward is around, Jazz is by no means a soft persimmon to pinch!

By noon the day before the game, the Jazz had arrived in Dallas ready to acclimatize.

Jazz coach Quinn. Snyder is definitely a cautious coach, and if he can, he will let the team go to the city where the game is playing a day earlier to prepare.

This young coach with a very characteristic appearance has a resume that is not simple at all. Although many people think that he should enter the entertainment industry instead of basketball because of his good looks, Snyder's love for basketball has kept him going through a basketball career that has not been smooth sailing.

This native white American, who looked and named very much like the Germans, had worked as an assistant to many well-known leaders. Among them, even the famous "old K" coach. During his tenure at the Austin Bulls, an NBA development league team, Snyder also discussed "business" with Popovich. ”

Snyder learned a lot from these famous coaches. Although it was his first time leading an NBA team as a head coach last season, it turned out that Snyder's accumulation over the years made him comfortable in the position of head coach.

Under his leadership last season, the Jazz finished 11th in the West with 38 wins. You may say it's not a big deal, but remember that in the season before Snyder arrived, the Jazz had only 25 wins, ranking last in the West!

The Jazz's progress is visible to the naked eye, and Snyder's team, despite playing a very classical style, has always been able to score. The rookie coach led the team to the U.S. Route Center Arena, and it happened that the Mavericks were also training at this time, so they had to go to Training Hall 2 to prepare for the game.

In the player tunnel of the American Route Center arena, there are many photos and posters of Mavericks players. Among them, the picture of them lifting the O'Brien Cup three times is indispensable.

This arrangement not only makes the players' tunnel less monotonous, but also gives a great deterrent to the teams that come to play away. Most people see this and subconsciously tell themselves that the Mavericks are really strong and we might really lose.

But Snyder is different, he's the kind of guy who doesn't give up until the last minute. Just like when he was named Sun Shan in the draft, he still insisted on groping on the road of basketball. Such a personality was also brought to coaching by Snyder.

In a game at the start of the season, the Jazz trailed the Warriors by 10 points with six seconds to go. It stands to reason that there is no suspense in the game. But in the last six seconds, Snyder was still calling a timeout and carefully arranging his tactics. His move was even met by Warriors forward Drummond. Green's scoff.

But that's Snyder, and he doesn't care if the game can actually be turned around, he just wants his team to improve on this experience. If even the manager gives up the game early, the player will get nothing but one defeat.

So when the players all changed and warmed up on the training ground, Snyder wasn't without the frustration that the opponent was a Maverick. He urged everyone to hurry up and familiarize themselves with the tactical run, because Snyder didn't come to Dallas to be a foil for the Mavericks.

"I know the Mavericks are strong and I know they're the defending champions. But basketball is a sport that can never be achieved without a single game. As long as you train patiently as I ask us to do, we have a chance to top the defending champions! Come on guys, no one expected us to beat the Eagles in the last game, but we just won! As long as you don't give up, any outcome is possible! ”

While the players were training, Snyder was on the sidelines cheering everyone on. His bandit aura of refusing to surrender until the last moment has affected every Jazz player.

Hayward was very excited in training, and the success of the last game gives him a lot of confidence now.

Over the past few years, the Jazz have usually had to accept defeat in Dallas. But this season, Hayward is determined to change that "inertia"!

I'm not going to let you expect anything from Jazz, either!

The Jazz, who do not admit defeat, are already determined to fight the defending champion to the end. As Yiyang expected, tomorrow's game is destined to be a tough battle. (https:)
