Parties, visits to children's welfare homes, community service ...... Chuck Hayes followed the All-Star team around the entire day. After taking a shower and having dinner at the hotel, he was going to the Rookie Challenge.

Taylor Swift and Gao Tongxuan had arrived in Las Vegas in the afternoon and stayed at the same hotel as Hayes. In the evening, the three of them set off together to the "Thomas Mark Center", and became the focus of the media when they entered, and countless films were sold.

With two beautiful women cheering on, Hayes's physical strength immediately recovered ninety percent. This weekend, his parents will have to take care of Thaddeus, who has autism, at home and will not be able to attend the game, but that doesn't affect his mood.

When Hayes came out, he received the warmest applause in the audience. There was a crowd of fans in the stands wearing the Rocket's No. 44 jersey, and slogans supporting "Shrek" could be seen everywhere. He was clearly the star of the night.

"Chuck, take the MVP! Arch those noobs with your big ass! Garnett yelled at Hayes.

"Cut 50 points!" Iverson, who was sitting with Garnett, exclaimed.

The Timberwolves sent Randy Foye, and there are no players left in the rookie game, and the two brothers are openly supporting Hayes, which is inevitably misleading.

If it weren't for Hayes preparing to go to the Timberwolves, would the two stars need to support him so much? There seems to be something hidden here. Many media reporters think so.

Compared with the two leaders of the Timberwolves, Yao Ming and Maddy were much shy, and just waved to Hayes.

Many reporters are preparing to use their imagination to write an article about "Shrek plotting to defect to the Timberwolves", and Michael Jordan has stepped forward. He ran straight up to Hayes and spoke as if he were the coach of the sophomore rookie team. However, no one felt discordant in this scene, and even after retiring, Jordan had a lot of privileges in the league.

"Chuck, didn't you promise to go to the Timberwolves? Why are those two guys so enthusiastic? Jordan asked quietly.

Hayes knew that he and Garnett were getting too close, Jordan looked uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say I wanted to join the Timberwolves, but the two of them wanted me to go." I said I wanted to keep the rocket. ”

"That's good, if you're going to transfer this season, you have to think about the Bobcats first, don't forget the conditions I told you." Jordan smiled: "Play hard, if you can't win the MVP in this kind of game, you will not be qualified." ”

"I'm confident, it depends on how much time the coach gives me, if I only send me for a while, I can't do anything." Hayes laughed.

"That's not a problem." Jordan finished speaking and left.

Hayes felt that Jordan had something to say, did he have any inside story about playing the rookie game? Jordan seems to have decided that he could get a lot of playing time.

To the cheers of the crowd, the sophomore luxury started the game: center Bogut, power forward David Lee, small forward Hayes, shooting guard Danny Granger, Deron Williams.

First-year starters: center Bagyani, power forward Morrison, small forward Rudy Gay, scoring guard Brandon Roy, point guard Randy Foy.

Not everyone who starts is going to be happy, and Rudy Gay is a bit of a dizzy one right now. Because the idiot coach in the first grade arranged for him to defend Hayes. The Grizzlies have played four games against the Rockets this season and have been swept this season, losing by an average of 32.4 points per game. Every time the Grizzlies have a headache about who to defend Hayes, Guy has gone up a few times, he has a height advantage, but he is two laps thinner than Hayes, and has been knocked out of the shadow by Hayes in the regular season.

The rookie game is an exhibition game, so this boss shouldn't be back again, right? If I still arch and fight, am I too tragic? Guy thought with a headache. He secretly made a decision, he would never defend closely, Hayes was willing to shoot and let him shoot well, anyway, the difference between the strength of the first and second grades was very big, and he couldn't win. This kind of game is a show, and no one will blame him for not defending well. All he needs is a few more nice dunks on the offensive end.

When the players came on the field, Hayes stood next to Guy and said with a smile: "Rudy, your coach asked you to defend me, isn't this harmful to you?" Ha ha. ”

I grass! It's an exhibition match, are you still ready to come for real? I don't guard against you, you vote outside! Guy really wanted to tell Hayes what was on his mind. But he held back. If you say it, it's too shameless. Even if he is a rookie, he has dignity! So, he just smiled at Hayes.

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Bagnani jumped the ball and the first-year team took the lead.

Guy received the ball on the three-second line. He suddenly found that the situation was not quite what he thought, Hayes's defense was not strict, and the position was a certain distance from him, in the regular season, Hayes's defensive characteristics were close and close, and he wanted to put his elbows on the opponent's head when he grabbed the position inside. Did he deliberately waterproof?

Thinking of this, Guy immediately broke through with the ball, easily passed Hayes in disguise, and performed a big windmill dunk. There was such a beautiful dunk at the beginning, and the audience was hooked.

The sophomore team counterattacked, and Delon dribbled to the front court and passed to Hayes. Since the opponent gave a big gift just now, Guy immediately reciprocated, and he took a big step back from the three-point line as if he didn't know that Hayes could shoot from the outside.

Hayes immediately pulled a three-pointer and the ball went in.

3 to 2.

As he returned to defense, Hayes smiled at Guy. Guy understood right away and smiled back. Both have a common goal and decide not to defend each other and let the other perform.

No matter how bad the defense of this kind of game is, no one will blame it, the coaches of both sides did not arrange any tactics before the game, the rookie game is an exhibition game, play beautifully to the greatest extent, shoot more three-pointers, and dunk if you can dunk is a success. If anyone is serious about fighting, it is purely sick.

Of course, there are sick people too. As soon as Bagnani received the ball, Bogut immediately defended it.

Bogut was last year's champion and Bagnani was this year. Both of them belong to the feel-good type, and they are the champions, so they regard the other champion as an old enemy, and they are ready to compete. In fact, no one wants to watch them fight, and the regular season has been played so far, and the data has proven everything.

Although the data of the two is okay, with the identity of the champion, it is a standard parallel import.

Defended by Bogut, Bagnani hit an iron in the middle. David Lee grabbed the rebound and immediately handed it to Hayes to play a counterattack. Hayes was not fast, and a quick counterattack would not have been possible. But it's not the same if Guy doesn't defend. Even though Guy was right in front of him, he pulled up in the middle and shot another three-pointer, and the ball went in again.

Guy "misjudged" and jumped up a little slower......

6 to 2.

Hayes hit two three-pointers in a row, and the crowd cheered him on, with several stars on the sidelines giving him a standing ovation.

The on-site commentator said: "I thought Hayes would show his interior offense, but I didn't expect him to shoot a three-point shot in the opening game. Hit both shots. I don't know if he can keep this feeling all the time today. ”

The first-year team attacked, Guy also received the ball outside the three-point line, Hayes also stood in front of him very cooperatively, just stretched out his hand, Guy felt no pressure in his heart, and the ball went in.

6 to 5.

After the goal, Guy smiled at Hayes again, and Hayes quietly colored him. The two guys are ready to carry out the release to the end.

After six minutes of play, the two teams made changes to their lineups, with Hayes and Guy being replaced.

Guy's performance made people feel like he should go to the slam dunk contest, big windmills, tomahawks, two-handed lever back dunks, empty catches, and four dunks were all wonderful.

Hayes was even more exaggerated, he didn't do anything, he just shot three-pointers, 6-of-8, and scored 18 points in 6 minutes.

Even the fools in the room could see that Hayes and Guy were brushing each other's stats, but no one thought it was anything bad because it was so exciting. The rookie game is all about show, and the audience wants to see beautiful offense, not team basketball and defense.

Hayes only had a four-minute break after coming off the court, and the question came for sophomore head coach Olivan (assistant coach for the Suns). The audience was chanting in unison - "Hayes! Hayes! ”

The crowd wanted to see Hayes play. If there was no Hayes in the rookie game, it wouldn't be fun to score more. A lot of people came to see Hayes.

Coach Oliver didn't want to be a bad guy who lowered the enthusiasm of the fans, and he didn't want to go against the unspoken rules of the league. Originally, according to the schedule, Hayes had a three-point contest and an All-Star Game behind him, and in theory, he should reduce Hayes' playing time and save his physical strength, otherwise it would be easy to cause criticism. But looking at the current situation, if he only lets Hayes play 20 minutes, or even less, the fans will definitely not be satisfied. I'm afraid that all those who watched this live broadcast of this game will not be happy.

Oliver simply sat down next to Hayes and asked, "Chuck, you saw that too, the fans want you to play again." It stands to reason that I shouldn't have given you too much playing time this time, but for now, I want you to decide. How long do you want to play? ”

"Do you give me as much playing time as I want to play?" Hayes asked rhetorically.

"That's right. Your popularity is so strong, everyone will definitely want to see you go up and fight. When the time comes, don't blame the Suns coach for deliberately consuming your physical strength and causing the Rockets' record to decline when you are interviewed by the media. Haha, you decide. Oliver kicked the ball straight to Hayes.

A little more playing time is exactly what Hayes wants, he has a strong desire to perform, otherwise he wouldn't have sung. Today he has a very good hand, the opponent does not defend, he can shoot like a three-point practice, this is not a problem of MVP, he is likely to break the three-point record in the rookie game, the scoring record. Hayes laughed, "Coach, how can I blame you? If the audience wants to see a performance, I'll do it. I'm very good and want to play more than 35 minutes. I'll play now, and when I don't feel good, you can replace me and rest and let someone else perform, okay? ”

"Of course you can, I'll replace you in a while. My mind is full of your name now. If the audience had shouted like this all night, I would have had nightmares when I slept today. Oliver laughed.

He was about to replace Hayes, and Hayes said: "If you can, let someone else pass me a few more balls, the first-year team is not strict defensively, I feel good, I want to see if I can break the scoring record, please." ”

Oliver agreed to Hayes's request. He suddenly had a premonition that in this game, I am afraid that a miracle will happen.

―――――――――――― Split ―――――――――――――

In reality, the defense in the 2007 rookie game was quite lax, so David Lee was able to shoot 14-of-14 and win the MVP. Without a tight defense, what stats can Hayes, who played 35 minutes, get? Ask for recommendations! Collect! Thank you!
