111 to 109. Landry hits an empty dunk!

Landry stayed where he was after the dunk, unable to believe it was real. It wasn't until his teammates pounced on him and pinned him to the ground that he was sure he had really killed the Magic...... Hayes stood next to him and became a supporting character.

"Hayes is indeed a leader." Kenny Smith sighed: "It's amazing to be able to calmly pass a ball like this in just four seconds, and to kill an opponent in this way." The Magic's defensive attention was not focused on Landry in the final moments, and Turkoglou left the position to defend Hayes, and no one expected the Bobcats to pin their hopes on the rookie at this time. ”

"It's a pity that Chuck can't break the scoring record. If it weren't for the Magic's foul being too bad, he might have done it. Barkley sighed and laughed.

"56 points is already a score comparable to Jordan. Don't forget that Jordan played two overtimes to score 63 points, and Jordan lost that game, Hayes won a perfect game today. Smith said, "It's wonderful. The Magic's unscrupulous defense in the final quarter was still reversed by the Bobcats. It was a game that could go down in history. Listen to the applause and cheers of the fans, this is the home of the Magic. ”

Yes, the Magic home fans are applauding the Bobcats, who are more deserving of the game than the Magic. The Bobcat's victory made a classic, and if the Magic swept the Bobcat with a ferocious foul, people would be left with nothing but regret and controversy.

Hayes shot 21-of-38, 4-of-10 from three-point range and 10-of-15 from the free-throw line. He scored a game-high 56 points, plus eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks. With Hayes' quasi-triple-double stats, the Bobcats staged a shocking comeback to defeat the Magic on the road.

Landry finished with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and was the second contributor to the Bobcats' victory. Landry, who was first selected in the second round, unexpectedly became the most talked-about rookie of the year.

Magic Dwight Howard had a big double-double with 15 points and 18 rebounds, Nelson had 28 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Vince Carter had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Turkoglu had only 13 points and 5 turnovers in the game. The experts' evaluation of him suddenly went from being underestimated to being overrated.

Commenting on the match, D'Antoni was thrilled: "It was a great victory. Not many people were optimistic about us before the game. Think the Bobcats are a new army and the players are too young to handle the pressure. But we have the best players in the league and as long as Hayes is around, we have hope of winning. The young players also gained valuable experience in this game, and they learned how to fight hard to win in the face of adversity. We will also fight hard in the next game, and the Bobcats have not been eliminated yet! ”

Stan Van Gundy said in an interview: "We lost to Hayes today, he was so strong, he scored a lot of difficult shots, our players couldn't do anything with him. There was only one person before him who could have such a performance, and that was Jordan. Hayes deserved to win the regular season MVP! ”

The reporter asked: "In the fourth quarter of the game, the Magic players fouled Hayes many times in the game, and there were a few times when the action was very big, and the scene was almost out of control, is this a tactical arrangement?" ”

Stan Van Gundy explained: "I asked the players to be tough on defense, but Barty's foul wasn't a tactical set-up, he was supposed to be in a hurry to stop Hayes from making a layup and didn't stop the move. I don't believe he's the kind of person who deliberately hurts people. ”

The reporter interviewed Hayes again. "Today's game makes you the most points in a single playoff game by an active NBA player. What do you think? ”

"When I stepped on the basketball court today, I had only one thought, and that was to win," Hayes laughed. In order to win, I have to do everything I can to shoot and score, and I don't want to be swept out! Before I knew it, I got 56 points, and maybe the night will leave the fans with something to remember. It's my first 50+ in the playoffs, but it will never be the last. And I would like to thank my teammates, especially Landry, for the beautiful goal at the end! ”

The reporter asked: "You had a little bit of a friction with Tekoglu in the fourth quarter today, can you tell us what the situation was like at that time?" ”

Hayes sneered: "There's nothing that can't be said about this, I know this game is broadcast live across the country, you can watch the game video, Tony Barty's foul I don't want to say more, Turkoglu defended in the fourth quarter, every time he fouled a hand with a fist instead of a palm, there were three hard hits on my right wrist, and my wrist is still very swollen." I don't know who taught this way of defense, but friends who love basketball should never learn it. ”

The reporter asked: "In the next game, will the Bobcats have the confidence to win?" ”

"I've always been confident. I just hope that the game is a fair competition between the players of both sides based on their strength, not a foul on a player without a team and a foul on the player, which will make the game fall apart. There are also some people who don't want to be hacked because they can't prevent it, there are not many stars in the league, if the stars are injured by fouls, and there is a group of role players left to play with small actions, even if they win the championship, it's very boring, right? Hayes said, he didn't save face for Turkogru.

The next day, Hayes's words at the press conference reached David Stern's ears word for word.

Marc Ballack, vice president of the league, suggested: "Hayes played at a superstar level this game, and people have started to compare him to Jordan. Do we want to do something about the next game? If the Bobcats can come back from 3-0 down to eliminate the Magic, Hayes will create a legend. ”

"Mark, I don't think so. If we tilt the referee's blow in favor of the Bobcats, someone will always see it. Hayes also talked about fair play in an interview, and we plan to use fair play as a slogan next season. Hayes, as the league's first image ambassador next season, will be questioned if he relies on the star whistle to reverse the Magic. I don't want him to be another LeBron James, strong, but not perfect. Stern said lightly.

"What are you going to do?" Barak asked.

"Don't give Bobcats and Hayes any special treatment in the game, and we have to keep silent even for Magic fouls. In this series, the Magic are willing to use foul tactics, so let them continue to use them. Go to a professional and find out all the malicious fouls and serious fouls of the Magic in the game and make a clip and post it on the Internet. Promoting this series is that the Magic win by foul play, and win without force. That way, the fans will sympathize with and support Hayes. We first justified the Bobcats' strength, and then stood up in a high-profile manner to say that we would strictly control the foul penalty scale and shout out the slogan of fair play next season. In this way, Hayes's prestige will reach its peak, and he will win the league's MVP completely by strength, not a star praised by the league! Stern laughed. He's an old fox, and he's got a good business. Akari seems to support the Magic this season, but he is actually preparing to secretly praise Hayes.

"But in this case, it will be difficult for the Bobcats to break through this series. If Hayes' Bobcats go out early, will it affect the game ratings? Barak asked again.

"This season, there is Yao Ming in the East, and there is a group of veterans in the West, will there be a lack of ratings? What the Bobcat can do in the end, don't think too much about it. The Bobcat lineup is not good, and even if you are lucky enough to pass the magic level, it will be difficult to go far. ”

If Hayes' strength is combined with Stern's hand-picked star whistle, the Bobcats have a good chance of beating the Magic and making history of a comeback from 3-0 down. But Hayes chose a difficult path. That's the fairness he wants!

The fifth game was played at the home of the Bobcats.

Tony Barty was suspended for one game by the league due to a second-degree malicious foul in the last game, and the Magic's interior strength declined, and the Bobcats got a good chance to win the game. However, Weaver was also sentenced to a one-game ban for leaving the bench and rushing onto the court, with both teams losing one role player each.

Landry, who became famous by one goal, was once again in the starting line-up. When he played, the fans responded with warm applause, and his popularity was second only to Hayes. The excellent performance in the last game made D'Antoni value Landry even more.

Fans are in high spirits, but the Bobcats are not optimistic. Hayes wore a black bracer on his right hand, and not long ago in the locker room, Hayes' right wrist was covered with ice, and a foul on Tekoglu injured Hayes' wrist ulna. Although it was not serious, Hayes could feel some pain in his wrist when shooting. The pain will affect his shooting, but the moment of pause, the rhythm is different, and the whole state is different.

Yesterday Hayes continued to train and trained well. He has no intention of missing any games because of the injury. If he misses one, there may not be the next one. Sometimes one has to overcome pain. Hayes would have given up with a knee injury, but it was only a wrist injury.

The Bobcats fielded a new starting lineup for this game, Felton, Azubuuk, Hayes, Landry, and Biedrins.

Felton started because D'Antoni had a very clear tactic, strengthening the breakthrough and attacking Howard. As long as Howard is plagued by foul plays, the Magic will only have a few players on the inside.

The Magic starting lineup has also made changes. Nelson, Bogans, Carter, Turkoglou, Howard. After Tony Barty's suspension, interior players veteran Garrity and Brian Cook were not up to start. Although Cook has a three-point stunt, his defense is too poor. Garriti is slow, and it's time to retire. So Stan Van Gundy put Tekoglu at power forward and started with Bogans, who was better defensive.

The Magic took the lead in the opening game, but with 8:12 left in the first quarter, Howard was substituted for two fouls. After that, the Bobcats attacked the inside line and won frequently. The Bobcats led by four points at 30-26 in the first quarter.

Howard returned to the court in the second quarter, and Hayes forced a basket, which quickly caused Howard's third foul. The Magic are empty inside, and although Turkoglu is 208cm tall, his style of play is not tough enough and he plays poorly at the power forward position. Gortat and Landry scored on the inside of the Magic, and Azubuke and Calderon also hit three-pointers in quick succession to open the score in one fell swoop. The Bobcats' role players are finally getting their way.

Howard was fouled throughout the game, scoring only 8 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, and the Bobcats won another game 104-88 at home. Five Bobcats players scored in double figures, and Hayes played 37 minutes and had a triple-double with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

Fans saw hope for a comeback from the Bobcats.

Unfortunately, despite Hayes' triple-double, his shooting percentage dropped dramatically, and a right wrist injury affected his performance.
