Yao Ming and Maddy regained some touch, and the Rockets went on another 14-2 offensive run in the fourth quarter to establish a 16-point lead and crush the Bulls in one go.

In the end, 100-82, the Rockets won at home.

Hayes had his best game of the tournament ever. He scored his first career triple-double, set a number of personal records, scored new highs, made new shots, and made new free throws, making him the undisputed best player of the game. He played 40 minutes, shooting 10-of-21 from the field, 2-of-6 from three-point range and 11-of-16 from the free-throw line, finishing with 33 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and just one turnover.

After the match, Hayes was joined by Jeff Van Gundy for a press conference.

Hayes is proud, facing countless cameras, as if he is in his own home.

Today he is the protagonist of the press conference.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Chuck-Hayes." You got a triple-double in the first game after you came back and it played a crucial role. You successfully defended Ben Gordon in the second half, what do you think of that tactical set-up? ”

Hayes smiled: "I don't have any opinion, tactical arrangement, the coach asked me to play point guard and I will work hard." ”

The reporter asked, "How did you develop this defensive skill?" You don't seem to be fast, but you can keep up with Gordon. ”

Hayes thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This is thanks to Alstom, he often asks me to fight alone, and I am played by him every time." After being abused by him for a while, I went to defend the other defenders and found that I could keep up. ”

Hayes's words Alston are extremely useful, so that Alston has always been a sweet tooth in the "assistant coach" position after retiring.

The reporter asked again: "You are ranked 7th in the new MVP list, second only to Yao Ming, you performed better than Yao Ming today, what do you think?" ”

Hayes pretended to be deep and said: "I don't feel anything, except for victory, the gods and horses are all floating clouds." ”

After the press conference, Hayes and Taylor Swift went out for dinner together.

There is a coffee shop downstairs in the apartment for two, and when you walk into the store, the sports channel is playing the top five goals of the day.

The Rockets had three balls selected.

The fifth goal is "Hayes cross-stepping and playing 'Big Ben' to score a three-pointer".

The third ball" Hayes faked a real pass, and the giant Yao Ming turned around and dunked. ”

The first goal was a dunk by Hayes with his back to assist Yao Ming, which was introduced by the host as: "Hayes is rated as the best ball, and he never passes the ball forward." ”

Since Hayes and Taylor Swift visited several times, the snack bar's business has exploded. As soon as the two sat down, many fans came up and asked for autographs.

"You're so strong today."

"Chuck, I'm going to continue to play like this in the future."

"I think you're already on the same level as LeBron James, trying to win the MVP!"

Hayes was enjoying the praise as he signed autographs for the fans.

With an interview from the press conference on TV, Taylor Swift smiled and asked, "Don't you really care about being the boss of the team?" I think this is the most discussed question on the Internet. ”

"What's there to fight about. When I am needed, I will naturally do the boss's job on the field. Hayes laughed. He said that he couldn't argue, but his heart began to flutter.

Yao Ming and Maddie can't do it today, but he got a triple-double, plus his defensive ability, he is now a superstar, right?

The next day, sports news headlines left Hayes feeling awkward.

His photograph occupies an entire page under the title "Three Pairs!" The best non-draft player in history is born! 》

The media did not hesitate to praise Hayes's performance, which roughly meant: "With 33 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, Rockets player Chuck Hayes has made himself forever in history." Ben Wallace, who was compared to Hayes before the game, only scored a pitiful 1 point from the free throw line, and was completely blown out on both offensive and defensive ends. Even more indicative of Hayes' value was the defense of Ben Gordon, who scored 28 points in the first half and turned into a blacksmith in the second half under Hayes's tight defense, scoring only nine points. Yao Ming and Maddie are in a slump, and Hayes has proven that he is the savior of Hughton! Throughout history, no non-draft NBA player has been able to play such a statistic, and what's even more amazing is that he can play five positions and do well. The only one who could do this before was "Magic" Johnson. After breaking a string of records, Hayes began the season with the most improved trophy. There is reason to believe that he will become a Barkley level 1 player, or even better. He already has the possibility of hitting the MVP this season. ”

Hayes watched the news over and over again, and the more he watched, the more proud he felt.

The news is not about him, but about God. said that he has surpassed Barkley and caught up with "Magic" Johnson.

It is clear that the news is exaggerated.

Hayes did make Ben Wallace suffer, but it was only a few rounds, and it was pure fabrication. Ben Wallace spent most of his time playing against Yao Ming, only facing Hayes when he switched guards. And, Ben Wallace is past his prime, and he's just the best defensive player ever. After arriving at the Bulls, his form has dropped very much, steals and blocks are gone, and his reaction is half a beat slower than before.

As for Hayes' successful defense against Gordon, there was also a lot of luck in it. Gordon scored just nine points in the second half, and Hayes' tangled defense was only one aspect, and the other was that Gordon himself was cold.

Gordon is averaging only 19.6 points this season, and 37 points in a single game is already a long time. He's not Jordan, he's not an All-Star, just a decent shooting guard. However, after the game, the media attributed the win to Hayes's magical defense, saying that without Hayes' defense, Gordon would have scored more than 50 points.

If Jordan hadn't retired, it is estimated that the media would have said that Hayes could have killed Jordan.

The media is like this, often because of a game, a certain player is blown into the sky, and the player who blows really thinks of himself as God.

What Hayes encountered was a typical "killing"!

There is the word "killing" in the ancient Chinese saying, and the allusion "Customs and Customs" comes from: "The long official horse is fat, the viewer is fast, the passenger is happy with his words, and he is driven away, and he dies." ”

This means that the person who killed your horse is the one who applauded your horse by those people next to you, and love it will harm you.

Many aspiring men have become fluttering and taken for granted in this kind of killing, and they could have done better and tapped their own potential in a down-to-earth manner, but they were praised by the media and lost their willpower, making them lost in the drunken gold fan and celebrity effect, and they couldn't extricate themselves.

This kind of excessive hype can indeed make a player become popular in the short term, but in the long run, it will have a certain degree of negative impact.

The higher you hold it, the harder it will be when you fall.

Hayes was not the first and will not be the last.

For example, Kwame Brown, who Jordan handpicked to be the first high school student in history to be the top pick. For a moment, the overwhelming compliments and compliments overwhelmed the guy. As a result, he delivered 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in his rookie season, becoming the best player in history. Jordan wanted to find a crack in the ground.

There is also Kenyon Martin, a beast power forward who was red and purple two years ago, who completed two consecutive Finals trips during his rookie contract and became an All-Star, and was raised to the top for a while. After leaving New Jersey, it quickly proved that without Kidd, Martin was just a passerby.

The most similar and typical example of Hayes was in 2009.

Rookie guard Jennings, who is only 20 years old and 1.85 meters tall and wears the Bucks' No. 3 jersey, scored 55 points in the first quarter on Nov. 15 to help his team win 129-125 over the Warriors.

Jennings broke three records in one fell swoop: the rookie single-quarter scoring record, the youngest player in NBA history to score more than 50 points in a single game, and also broke the Bucks rookie scoring record set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In addition, the 55 points are just two points short of the Bucks' all-time scoring record (Michael Reed's 57 points in November 2006).

Since that game, the TV cameras have been focusing on him, and the media have been touting him as "a new generation of Iverson" and "he's stronger than Archibald...... So much so that Bucks coach Skells had to remind reporters on multiple occasions that he was just a 20-year-old.

But the media is all about hype, and what journalists need is news leads, and they don't care that the Warriors are a team that can't defend, and they won't let go of Jennings, who broke the record.

At first, Jennings enjoyed the sensation of being a superstar. And at some point after that, 55 minutes became a nightmare, a curse he couldn't escape.

In the second rematch against the Warriors, Jennings only scored 25 points, and he couldn't shoot accurately. The media began to be slightly disappointed with Jennings. For the media, Jennings is still a good rookie, but he is no longer the wonder boy he was two months ago.

Jennings then scored just five points away from home against the Jazz. It was the second time this season that he scored five points.

His scoring, shooting percentage, and three-point shooting percentage are all on a downward trend. On the ESPN rookie rankings, he was overtaken by Evans and then overtaken by Stephen Corey to drop to third place.

At this time, the media began to express disdain for Jennings, accusing him of over-dribbling, problematic shooting selection, and even someone said: "He's like Iverson? I'm afraid he's the next Van Axel. ”

From future superstar to cancer. Sometimes, life is so cruel.

Some people are criticizing you like crazy right now, and two months ago, it was they who lifted you to the sky and kept Jennings enjoying the enthusiastic cheers of the fans all the time.

Today, Hayes has the same problems as Jennings.

Hayes knew the future, but he was unaware of the pressure he was about to face, and he began to become complacent.
