In the end, 162-130, the sophomore rookie won by a big margin.

Hayes played 34 minutes, the first rookie, and took most of the team's shots, scoring 101 points on 32-of-48 shooting, including 24-of-32 three-pointers and 13-of-18 free throws. He broke a lot of records in NBA history, such as individual single-game points, individual single-game 3-pointers, personal half-time three-pointers, and rookie game scores.

Funnily enough, Hayes, who was known for his all-around in the regular season, only had a measly 2 rebounds and no assists in this game. The lack of assists is a good explanation of how he got these 101 points.

Hayes lifted the rookie game MVP trophy and enjoyed the cheers of the fans. It was like celebrating the championship in the stadium, and the big NBA stars came forward to congratulate them. What started as a rookie challenge that didn't attract much attention has evolved into a star-making movement, a competition that will go down in history.

Everyone who watched this game had a common opinion, and the all-stars of the casino were indeed more entertaining.

Hayes came out on top in this game, having previously been the Rockets' top three, but after this game, there is no doubt that his popularity will be raised again.

After the game, escorted by a group of security guards, Hayes was able to enter the press conference safely without being knocked down and squashed by the crazy reporters. He was the only focus of the audience, and as soon as he sat down, the reporters began to ask questions one by one.

Reporter: "Chuck, how does it feel that you broke a lot of records today?" Anything to say? ”

Hayes faced the camera, calmed down, and smiled: "It feels good, it's great." I want to say to all the fans and friends, don't be crazy about me, my brother is just a legend. ”

The room erupted in laughter.

Reporter: "Chuck, did you score that high before you entered the NBA?" ”

"I never dreamed of scoring this high, the rookie game was an exhibition game, the defense was lax, and I got a lot of shots...... And it just happened, which was really unexpected. ”

Reporter: "In the last few minutes, the fans shouted your name again, and in the second half you cheered every time you picked up the ball, were you surprised? ”

"In the last few minutes, they called my name, I was a little surprised, I didn't count when I shot, I really didn't expect to score that many points, I just felt that I was very accurate, how to shoot, how to shoot, when I got off the court, David Lee told me that I broke the record, I was shocked."

Reporter: "How do you feel about breaking Chamberlain's long-standing record as the highest single-game scorer in NBA history?" ”

"It's a surprise, don't compare me to Chamberlain. It was a coincidence that I was able to score so many points, and there were so many reasons. ”

Reporter: "Oh? What do you think are the reasons? ”

"Even if I don't say it, the experts can see it. The first is the support of Coach Oliver. When I was substituted, the fans wanted me to play, so I talked to the coach and wanted to play a little longer. He asked me how long I wanted to play and I said 35 minutes because I wanted to make the fans happy. Then he gave me time and arranged for my teammates to pass the ball to me. The second is defense, the rookie game is a show, and everyone is not seriously defending. The first-year team didn't have anyone to pack me from start to finish, not even close defense, I always had an easy time catching the ball, turning around, shooting, and continuing the good shooting rhythm. Finally, there's the fan factor. They all supported me and everyone else passed the ball to me. ”

Reporter: "Chuck, you're too modest. To score so many points, you must need strength, right? ”

"It's just shooting accurately, it's more important than anything else. I'm in great shape today. However, I feel like I've broken a record for the most water in history. If I let Kobe Bryant and Tracy play with this kind of defense, they will definitely score more points, and I am lucky. ”

Chamberlain's 100 points were scored by Hayes I don't know, but Bryant's 81 points and Maddy's 52 points in the third quarter were much more difficult than his game, and they were all scored when they were surrounded and defended for a long time. If Hayes chooses to play strongly if he is trapped, it will be difficult to score more than 30.

After the game, family and friends congratulated together, and Hayes' phone calls never stopped. But Hayes felt that he should see reality clearly and not be proud.

Reporter: "Chuck, in the regular season, you averaged less than 20 points per game, you didn't take many shots, but you hit a high percentage of shots, after the All-Star break, will you increase your shots?" ”

"The Rockets have a lot of good players, Yao Ming, Tracy have the ability to score more than 30 points, we have a clear division of labor, it depends on the coach's arrangement and who the opponent is, when the opponent is struggling to defend me, I will definitely strengthen the offense."

Reporter: "When you came off the pitch, almost all the fans stood up and applauded you, a lot of people took pictures, what did you think at that time? ”

"Very happy. Everything I do is to make the fans happy. I've been thinking about how I can perform at Celebrity Weekend a week ago and repay the fans for their support. ”

Reporter: "You walked past Miss Swift at the end of the race, and what did she say to you when she hugged you?" Can you give us some light on this? ”

"That's what you can say. She said, 'You're handsome today. Let's just fight like this in the future, don't go inside, it's not safe. ’”

Reporter: "Haha, she cares about you and worries about your injury." What do you think of it yourself? ”

"Of course, I still have to focus on the inside, and what I'm best at is not scoring, but fighting strong people and grabbing rebounds. The inside line is my turf. As for security, that's what the adversaries should be thinking about. ”

Reporter: "Chuck, if you had been a little better at your free throws, the score would have been higher today." Do you feel sorry? ”

"My free-throw percentage has been consistent. No regrets. ”

What Hayes thought to himself was that when I went inside to play, I didn't even feel anyone touch me, as if someone looked at me and I was sent to the free throw line. If I'm not satisfied, is there any reason? Are there any rules?

Reporter: "You know that Michael Jordan was cheering you on the sidelines today and seeing you perform, he was as excited as Coach Van Gundy? Before the game, he had something to say to you, what did you talk about? ”

"Michael is my idol and we are very good friends, he gave me a few words before the game, he told me that this is an exhibition game, don't give up the opportunity to my teammates, and if you have the chance, you have to shoot yourself. If I can't get the MVP, I'm not qualified. Then I threw as hard as I could, and I threw when I had the chance. If it hadn't been for Michael talking to me before the game, I wouldn't have been able to play such an amazing game. ”

Reporter: "Did Michael say you were his successor?" Charles Barkley is known to often say that you are his successor. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

"Not really. Michael and I are completely two types of players, he's a household name and I've never been able to fly. The only thing we have in common is our desire to win. And Charles, he's my idol too, but I didn't want to be like any player, I'm Chuck Hayes, someone who isn't physically good enough but gives his best every night. ”

Reporter: "Under what circumstances do you feel a sense of accomplishment?" ”

"No matter how big the score is, the team doesn't give up, and I played at a level to help the team recover the score and win, and I have a special sense of accomplishment in such a game."

Reporter: "Chuck, what do you think has made you make huge progress this season?" ”

"In addition to practicing technique, I think there is also mentality. In fact, many players have similar skills, and the gap between ordinary players and stars is like a layer of window paper, as long as it is pierced, it is another realm. But it's much more difficult to go from being a star to a superstar, and that's a leap. ”

Reporter: "Do you have any goals for this season?" For example, regular season MVP, rebounding king? These are not far away from you, and you are now number 5 on the MVP list. ”

"I'm in fifth place, but I have Yao Ming and Tracy in front of me, so I don't think there's anything to fight about, it's just about playing a good game, as long as the MVP is won by the Rockets, it's a success. The rebounding king depends on the state, and if you can get it, of course it is better. ”

Reporter: "Last question, do you think the Rockets will win the championship this year?" ”

Hayes thought about it and felt that there was no need to be humble more than halfway through the game and the lineup was neat. "How many people still think we can't win the championship?" Leave that to others. ”

After the press conference, Hayes returned to the hotel.

He washed up and changed into his pajamas. Someone came to ring the doorbell, it was Taylor Swift.

"Chuck, you're great. With a record of 101 points, as long as there is basketball in the world, people will remember you in hundreds of years. If only I had been a great man like you. Taylor stood in the doorway and said excitedly.

Hayes then remembered that breaking the record had this benefit, although it was a scoring record with a lot of water, but it was also a record, and he could enter the history books.

"I'm so great, don't you plan to leave at night and come directly to my house to sleep?" Hayes joked.

"I think about thinking about ......"

Belch? Consider? Taylor said something that Hayes thought about.

"I've thought about it, no!" Taylor laughed.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to." Hayes sighed and smiled, "Do you want to come in and sit?" ”

"I'm not going in. I just wanted to congratulate you. Tongxuan originally wanted to congratulate you, but after the game, the businessman who wanted to cooperate with you was about to blow up her phone. She answered the phone for two hours without stopping, and the phone ran out of battery. She went to bed first, so you should take you to rest early. A kiss on you, good night! Taylor said, giving Hayes a quick kiss on the cheek and turning away.

Hayes returned to his room, lay on his bed, and recalled the previous game.

There were so many things going on today that Hayes felt as if a week had passed. But he didn't feel tired at all, and he couldn't sleep with excitement.
