31 to 45. The Bobcats came from 14 points behind and called a timeout.

With the role players out of shape, D'Antoni is ready to use the tactics used by the 76ers when they reached the Finals. Team defense, one-man attack. The lineup was adjusted to center Andris Biedrins, power forward Gerald Wallace, small forward Matt Barnes, shooting guard Hayes, and point guard Rajon Rondo. After some consideration, D'Antoni gave up on sending on veteran Kurt Thomas, who alone affected the team's pace and was difficult to follow.

"The offense was Chuck at the core, with Matt and Gerrard as cover. Chuck is on the offensive with all his might! Cast boldly! D'Antoni said.

Even if Hayes attracted the bag pass today, his teammates couldn't shoot it accurately. With 7:40 left in the second quarter, the Bobcats had yet to score a double-double. After Hayes went off, the Bobcats' offense was even more chaotic.

"You have to guard against it. If he is broken through, he will be fouled fiercely, especially on Okafor, what is the level of his free throws, everyone will not forget, right? Don't be polite to send him to the free throw line. Before coming on the pitch, D'Antoni said this again. The unlucky Okafor was also calculated by his former coach after the transfer.

The players from both sides returned to the court, and the Raptors also replaced several main players, and the current lineup is Okafor, Bosh, Capono, Petrus, and Ford.

The Bobcats are a purely defensive lineup, with Rondo in charge of possession. Hayes was tightly wrapped around Petrus. Petrus played for a while with the Bobcats and had a certain experience in defending Hayes, that is, he had to stick close and not give Hayes room to move.

Wallace covers Hayes from beyond the three-point line. The man who has been most fluent in teaming up with Hayes has been Wallace, who often makes cameo appearances as power forwards.

Hayes shook off Petrus and the guard was replaced by Capono. Capono is a pure shooter, no speed, no power, can only shoot three-pointers, three-point shooting rate is higher than two-point shooting, he can't do anything except shooting, breaking, dunking has nothing to do with him, as for defense...... What is that?

Hayes didn't have any feints, just accelerated with the ball and passed the Shaolin abbot after the 80s of Capo. 33 to 45.

Hayes had a good hand today, and if the Raptors kept Capono on the defensive, today's game would be cool.

A goal that doesn't scare the Raptors players. They had a good hand today, with Bosh going high to block Ford. The man who defended Bosh was Barnes, and Wallace and Biedlings didn't pull out on the inside. Ford dribbled into the box and couldn't find a chance to take it out, he tried to pass back to Bosh but couldn't, and Barnes interfered with Bosh's catch.

Barnes defended Bosh when he was with the Warriors and dropped his stats in one game, shooting just 6-of-16. When Bosh gets the ball, it's hard to defend, and Barnes's approach is to start before Bosh gets the ball, constantly interfering with him, and Bosh will fall into the predicament of not being able to receive the ball smoothly. And, even if Bosh gets the ball, Barnes can make him uncomfortable. Barnes is 201cm tall and has an arm span of 213cm, and he is very good at defending tall and technical forwards with long arms.

"Little dinosaur, come and hit me. It's useless to stretch your neck so long. Barnes followed Bosh and kept talking.

Only Barnes likes to talk trash, and you can tell by looking at his tattoos that he's not a good guy. In one sentence, Bosh's pain was spoken.

Bosh hates what people say about his neck. His registered height is 208cm, but his shoulder height is only the same as James's, which means that his neck is too long, and his effective height is actually only 203cm...... Bosh spit out his braces a little unpleasantly. As a result, Barnes was even more energetic. Bosh brought a red braces, and when he spit out the braces, he felt like he was going to breathe fire.

"The more you talk, the more energetic you get. Do you want to perform Spitfire? Is it because you can be a mascot in addition to playing ball, so the Raptors chose you? ”

Bosh's eyes breathed fire. He circled around and received a pass from his teammate on the left side, saw that the time was almost up, and made a step-back jumper. Barnes sealed his hand in his eye just in time. Bosh has a blocked view and his shot is missed.

Biedrins grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and handed it to Rondo, who sent the ball forward with both hands, and Hayes rushed to the basket with excellent anticipation and early start. After receiving the basketball without slowing down, he turned around and took two steps, and made a backhand layup at the moment before the body went out of bounds, and the ball hit the board and went into the basket. This movement looks as easy as training. The easier it was for Hayes to score, the more confidence his teammates saw it. 35 to 45.

The Raptors attack again. After the Bobcats changed the lineup, they brought out the power of the 122 joint defense. Rondo pegged Ford to the death. Ford passes to Bosh on the right. Bosh wanted the ball very far away, and Biedrins hurried out to prevent him from hitting the shot. Bosh shook his head and immediately broke through to the baseline, scoring with both hands before Wallace stepped forward to make up for it! 35 to 47.

"Tactic No. 5!" Hayes shouted. He knew he had to return the favor and not let his opponent lift the momentum with a dunk.

Tactic No. 5 does not refer to the center attack, but is the code name of the Bobcats' usual tactics. Hayes went inside and then Wallace walked inside from the left baseline and made an off-ball screen for Hayes to block Okafor. Hayes ran back to the three-point line. Rondo got the ball to Hayes in time from the weak side.

Hayes had a rare open shot, his knees bent slightly, he got his rhythm right, and there was a small air after the jump, and his wrist flicked the ball out. The Bobcats had missed too many threes today, and Hayes couldn't allow himself to miss. It was his first three-pointer of the game, and he hit it steadily! 38 to 47. The Bobcats chased the score to just nine points.

The Raptors landed in a positional battle, and this time they still handed the ball to Bosh on the right baseline. Bosh singled Biedrins and broke through to the basket with the ball in disguise.

Biedrins misjudged and was slipped into the box by Bosh. Bosh shook under the basket, jumped on the spot with excellent explosiveness, dodged Biedrins' block, and scored with a one-handed dunk with his left hand! 38 to 49.

I'm going to be sure to walk away with a win here today! I'm going to get as many as Hayes scores. Bosh thought to himself. The media often criticized him for his lack of leadership. He wanted to correct people's misconceptions by defeating the bobcat.

"Andris, what are you doing? If you can't prevent it, you will foul fiercely! Hayes yelled at Biderlins. He didn't feel like Bidrins was working hard enough. was violently deducted by Bosh twice, but he didn't have a temper at all.

Biedrins was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hayes to yell at him directly, he didn't foul in order to stay on the court. Of the Bobcats' starters, only Biedlings was aiming for the stats. If there are too many fouls, the playing time will be shortened. With 9.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks this season, Biedrins feels like he's already in the top 10 interior players in the league. He wants to put up more pretty numbers in the playoffs in order to get a salary cap in the summer. With such a player who gets into the eyes of money sitting on the inside, the Bobcats can only admit that they are unlucky, Gortat is still too tender, and the tense offense and defense in the playoffs don't know where to go, and now the Bobcats can only use Biedrins.

Hayes stretched out four fingers in the front court, and Barnes came out to cover Hayes again, and this time, Bosh made up for Hayes. The two sides are facing each other head-on at the core.

As long as Hayes is guarded, the bobcats are not to be feared, Bosh thought to himself.

As long as you knock this dinosaur-headed guy down, there is no threat for the raptors to attack. Hayes thought to himself. One of the Raptors' strongest points is also a weakness, because Bosh is indispensable.

Hayes lowered his center of gravity, shook his left shoulder lightly, dribbled to the baseline, attracted Bosh to move to the left, and after gently retreating with his left foot, he changed direction and dribbled to the middle into the three-second zone, and stopped to take the ball with his right hand and make a layup.

Bosh immediately stretched out his long arm to intercept, but did not jump hard. He has watched a lot of videos of Hayes, and Hayes has a lot of feints under the basket, and this action is not fast, so he should not go directly to the basket.

But Bosh misjudged that Hayes was moving slowly not to make a fake, but to wait for Bosh to make a move. Hayes took a step, and the hand holding the ball slammed into Bosh's arm. Hayes didn't do this move coherently, and the ball couldn't be thrown in without a good sense of rhythm, but it caused a foul on Bosh. Bosh had one foul in the first quarter, and this was the second foul. Hayes hit both free throws. 41 to 49.

"Be careful not to be fouled by him! Emeka Defense! Raptors head coach Mitchell shouted at the players on the court. If Bosh is plagued by fouls, the Raptors are in trouble. The onlooker was clear, and he could see very clearly that Hayes' purpose was to create fouls.

Bosh and Ford did the pick-and-roll cooperation. The Bobcats are now staring at several of the Raptors' shooters and letting Okafor go. Ford saw the opportunity and handed the basketball to Okafor.

Okafor hadn't scored too much today, and as soon as he saw the emptiness in front of him, he immediately wanted to jump up and dunk with both hands.

Wallace pounced from behind and pressed his hands on the basketball to stop Okafor's jump. The ball was a foul, of course, but it was only Wallace's second foul, so it didn't matter.

Okafor stepped to the free-throw line in frustration and missed both free throws. Biedrins grabbed the rebound and the Bobcats' defense was successful.

The Bobcats attacked in position, and Wallace covered Hayes in the high post. Rondo's pass to the ground was delivered, and Hayes took a step to the right, attracting the weak side of the defense of Capono and Okafor, and then stood with his back to pass the ball away. and covered Wallace, who had just finished blocking and dismantling. The attention of Petrus, Okafor, and Capono was attracted to Hayes in the high post, and Wallace took a step to catch the ball, rushed to the basket with the ball, and dunked it! 43 to 49.

Hayes' virtual style of play completely disrupted the Raptors' defense, and the Bobcats' offense opened up.

"Pass me the ball!" Bosh shouted. He has the confidence to single Biderings, but also to color.

Bosh once again picked up the ball on the right side. During this time, the rest of the players on both teams focused mainly on defense, and now it is a competition between the core players of the two teams.

Bosh opened up half a step at a 45-degree angle, bobbed twice, and suddenly started to pass Biedrins. However, Hayes, who was defending Okafor on the other side, stood on the three-second line at some point, raised his hands and blocked Bosh's way. Bosh slowed down to get the ball out and made a modest physical contact with Hayes. Hayes straightened his chest and collapsed in the box. The referee blew the whistle.

Bosh froze, and he was whistled for a third foul.

Bosh knew that his strength would not knock Hayes down, and tried to reason with the referee, but the referee ignored him. With 3:42 left in the second quarter, Bosh committed three fouls, and Raptors head coach Mitchell had to replace him.

Hayes smiled. Making fouls doesn't have to be on the offensive end!
