Wallace wants to slam Howard!

Howard didn't expect Wallace to make such a decision, he was unprepared, but after all, he had a beastly reaction speed, and he reflexively jumped high and raised his hand to block.

Wallace collided with Howard in the air as he approached the basket.

Wallace once dunked rookie Afalalo against the Timberwolves. But this time is different, Howard is the league's famous devil muscleman. The basketball came out of their hands, and both fell on the court. The difference is that Howard landed on one foot and was cushioned and sat down under the basket, while Wallace landed first on his left elbow...... Hayes had a sense of foreboding when he saw the two collide. Unfortunately, he was too far away to get over and catch Wallace. The fall was obviously very serious.

Wallace was helped off the court by the Bucks' medical staff, who took him by the arm and walked straight to the locker room.

Howard was whistled for only one ordinary foul. Judging from the slow-motion replay, Howard didn't make any extra hand movements, just wanted to stop Wallace. But Wallace rushed so hard that he was completely out of balance. If it weren't for the elbow support, he would probably have hit his head on the ground.

As soon as the game began, the Bobcats lost their second leader. The fans in the audience collectively booed Howard. The bobcat seems to be particularly unlucky as soon as it hits magic. Bagnani was reimbursed for a serious injury during the regular season against the Magic, and now the Bobcats have folded Wallace again.

Hayes was stunned for a long time, things happened too fast. His first thought was that the Bobcats would not be able to win a championship this season. With Wallace here, the Bobcats don't have an advantage over the Timberwolves, let alone without Wallace? Now the Bobcats only have offensive helpers such as Azubuke, Weaver, and Calderon who average about 10 points per game, except for him. Hayes looked at his teammates again, and confusion was written on everyone's faces. Including D'Antoni and Van Gundy...... Do they all think we're done with the season?

Thinking of the Timberwolves, Hayes thought of Iverson, the man who never gave up! Don't be discouraged. The current form of the lynx is indeed very unfavorable, but we have not been eliminated yet, as long as we have not been eliminated, there is hope!

"Cheer up. Gerrard was injured, but we didn't lose! The season isn't over yet. Without Gerald, we could still have the magic trick in place! Hayes exclaimed.

The teammates were stunned for a moment.

"Don't be stunned. We can win! It's not time to give up, and I'm still here! Hayes yelled.

"That's right...... Chuck was right. Matt (Barnes) comes on. Keep an eye on Turkoglu. D'Antoni said.

At this point, the referee announced the resumption of the game. The Bobcats had to find someone to replace Wallace for two free throws. Hayes took over the task. Hit both free throws. 6 to 4.

The Magic attacked, and the audience booed again. Howard whispered as he walked up to Hayes with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, Chuck, I really didn't mean to. ”

"I know." Howard, a "living treasure" who can play Superman and perform dunks, of course Hayes knows that he is not the kind of person who deliberately hurts people, but it is useless to say anything now. In this series, the Bobcats are inevitably at a disadvantage.

The Bobcats players quickly adjusted their form and defended the defensive end, with Barnes tangling up to Turkoglou and successfully interfering with one of his mid-range shots. Hayes grabbed the rebound.

Barnes is also strong defensively, but he is far worse than Wallace offensively. His 36.6 percent three-point shooting percentage with the Warriors last season was more of a character explosion. He's shooting less than 30 percent from beyond the arc this season. With the addition of Bidlings on the inside, the Bobcats have two offensive weaknesses.

Stan Van Gundy naturally won't let go of this opportunity. Immediately arrange for Turkoglu to wrap up Hayes with all his might. Azubuuk and Calderón were also heavily guarded from the outside. The Magic relied on quick rotation to loosen up Barnes and Biedlings' defenses.

After Hayes drew the ball out of the box, Calderon passed to Barnes, who had multiple open shots. But his hit rate is really flattering. If the ball is passed inside, Tony Barty will foul Bidrins. Biderings' free throws were worse than Howard's.

The Bobcats also had problems on the defensive end. Nelson and Carter frequently used pick-and-rolls to break inside in an attempt to draw a foul on Hayes. Biedrins was also substituted for two fouls. The Bobcats could only send Gortat on the court.

The Magic studied the Bobcats' defensive weaknesses and came prepared. Howard no longer singled out Hayes, but acted as a blue-collar worker, pulling to the outside to cover his teammates again and again, waiting for Hayes to change defenses, and then looking for opportunities under the basket. As a result, Howard was freed up on the offensive end.

Under heavy pressure, Gortat was ordered to be in danger. His 3.6 points and 4.2 rebounds this season can only be regarded as barely passing, how to fight against Warcraft?

Although the Bobcats played hard, they still trailed by 16 points at 52-68 at halftime.

When Wallace was on the floor, people thought he didn't have anything special to say other than a dunk, but in his absence, people realized how important Wallace's defense was to the Bobcats. Wallace can mark the opponent's arrows on the outside, and when he changes defenses, he can also resist people on the inside, and send morale-boosting hats in the help defense. Now all this is gone.

Barnes came on and the Bobcats were lacklustre offensively. If Azubuk plays the No. 3 position, the 196cm height defends the 208cm Turkoglu again.

"Chuck, you pull out the outside in the second half. Positional battles use counter-run tactics, Karl (Landry) and Andris block and pick-and-roll, Chuck, you take bold shots. When defending, Chuck defends at the No. 3 position and is ready to play fast at any time. We're going to try to play as fast as we can. Use your speed to break through their defenses. Jose and Corunna will also have to make bold three-pointers. D'Antoni said. The Magic took a tight grip on the inside, and he decided to take a three-point gamble. There's no way around it.

Hayes' eyes were almost on fire, and he scored just 12 points in the first half. He told his teammates not to give up, but it was really hard to keep the offensive efficiency going. The only way to do that is for him to play the number three position and let Landry, who has a stronger offense, play power forward.

He scored a few goals with his feet and throws in the trap, and each time he was caught by two or three people, and even his physical strength was depleted faster than ever. Azubuke hit two three-pointers and scored 10 points in the half, but that was limited to that, on the defensive end, Azubuike failed to guard Carter and was always thrown away when switching positions.

Cast it! Resolute shot! Then defend desperately! This is the only way.

At halftime, Hayes walked up to the court and saw the Magic players smiling happily, they had already seen the dawn of victory. It's an uncomfortable smile, it's louder boos in the audience, magic doesn't win, but that's basketball.

"Don't be sad, pass the ball to me. Then run, as soon as you run out of space, I'll pass the ball. You must also be resolute in your efforts on the outside. Hayes said. He won't pass to Biedrins. Whoever the Magic's No. 4 player is on the line, he has only one task, to stand up to Biedrins and foul him when he catches the ball.

The Bobcats strike first. Hayes started running back to the outside in the first round. Biedrins blocks Howard. However, this kind of cooperation did not allow Hayes to get an open spot, and the Magic played a joint defense, with three people standing on the outside line all the time. At this point, Landry covered for Hayes from the high position.

Calderon saw the opportunity and sent the ball to Hayes as Landry covered. It's a difficult time to find, Calderón can do it, it's one of his strongest abilities. Hayes received the ball and shook off Turkoglou, stepped out of the three-point line, turned and jumped, and stepped back to shoot a three-point shot. Carter, who assists on the weak side, is as tall as Hayes and has much better bounce, but he is still powerless under such a shot. The ball is in! 55 to 68.

Scary guy, it's beautiful to lean back three points. But how many goals can he score? If we can't defend ourselves, we will still lose. Stan Van Gundy thought to himself. He looked at the Bobcats' bench as his younger brother, Jeff Van Gundy, looked at the court with his hands folded and a frown. This is the expression on Jeff Van Gundy's face when he is helpless.

Magic scored again. Nelson burst into the basket through the cover and scored for a layup. Biedrins opted for a last-minute avoidance. Biedrins believes that the Bobcats have already lost this game. He didn't want to risk fouling a foul, he had already committed three fouls before and didn't want to get off early. 55 to 70.

"Defend! Why don't you cap it? Hayes yelled. It wasn't the first time he'd yelled at Biedrins.

Biedrins didn't speak. His heart is long gone. There are always those players in the league who fight for data and money, and that kind of person is a cancer. Bidrins' problem is not as serious as the league's well-known cancer, but he has selfish intentions.

If you replace Billings, the Bobcats' interior line will be even more unplayable.

Calderon dribbled across half court and passed to Hayes. This time, the Magic perimeter strengthened their defense against Hayes, who couldn't rely on his teammates to cover for a shot. He took a tentative step to the left with his left foot, flicked his shoulders and dribbled past Tekoglu with ease, and burst into the box in the middle. Hayes holds the ball with both hands, Howard and Tony Barty wrap it up, and Tekoglu and Carter surround him.

Hayes spun and leaped to his feet, passing the ball out again. He attracted a four-man bag clip. Azubuike gets an open shot. He adjusted, and the three-point shot hollowed into the net. 58 to 70.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Hayes and Azubuuk clapped their hands and quickly returned to the defense.

At this time, Gao Tongxuan and Taylor Swift were also watching the game in front of the TV. The two leaned together, nervously holding hands together.

"Can the Bobcats still win today?" Taylor asked.

"He'll have a way, he's Shrek!" Gao Tongxuan smiled: "We're here to cheer him on, he will feel it." ”

Hayes couldn't think of anyone who was going to cheer him on, and he only knew one thing now - scoring!

Turkoglu misses a shot, and Hayes sees the opportunity and quickly counterattacks. Landry grabbed the rebound and handed a long pass to Hayes. The Magic's defense was quick, with Nelson, Carter, and Howard all retreating inside, and Calderon and Azubuike were a little slower to follow suit.

Hayes forced his way to the basket and forced the Magic trio to come together.

Hayes let out a loud shout, jumped to his feet, made a layup pose, dodged Howard's big hand in the air, half-turned in the air, and threw the ball hard to the outside. Azubuike ran a few steps, then threw off Turkoglou, who was focused on Hayes, caught the flying basketball on the right side, adjusted his posture slightly, jumped up slightly, and shot from outside the three-point line again, and the ball went in! 61 to 70. Azubuike hit his fourth three-pointer of the game!

There is hope! We can chase it back. Hayes thought to himself.

At this point, Howardra went out to cover, and Turkoglu shook off Hayes and passed Landry for a layup......
