In the face of the menacing Bulls, the Rockets appeared very relaxed.

Before the start of the game, Maddie also danced with the key bear (rocket mascot) on the field to liven up the atmosphere and entertain the audience. Sometimes, Maddie also dresses up as the Key Bear, and he seems to have a soft spot for that skin, which is really funny.

The Bulls are not bad this year, and in addition to Ben Wallace, they also have a young backcourt that will appeal to any team, Ben Gordon and Hinrich. Hinrich was once favored as Nash's successor, and experts believe that his outside touch is even better than Nash's. It turned out that the experts were blindsided, and Hinrich was only better defensively than Nash; Ben Gordon is definitely a great outside pitcher. In addition, Nocioni and Lore Deng are also rare team players in the NBA.

The Bulls haven't been in great shape lately, having been picked up by the Mavericks in yesterday's game, giving the latter a three-game winning streak, with Hinrich scoring 25 points for the Bulls, Roel Deng with 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Ben Wallace falling into a slump after a flash in the pan, with only 6 points and 8 rebounds.

The Rockets continued with their previous starting lineup, while the Bulls fielded Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Roel Deng, P.J. Brown and Ben Wallace.

"Chuck Hayes." Ben Wallace, who had pigtails in his hair, took the initiative to greet Hayes and said with a cold face, "I'm looking forward to playing against you." ”

"Let's do it together. Fight well! I've been aiming for you for a while, and it's a pleasure to be playing with you. Also, I wish you the best of luck in the Bulls, too, to play at the level of the Pistons. Hayes smiled and held out his right hand in a friendly way.

Ben Wallace may have been underperforming lately and has heard too many fan voices. Hearing Hayes praise him, Ben Wallace was very happy and gave Hayes a hug directly.

The fans who came to watch were puzzled, thinking that the collision of the two macho men would play a full gunpowder flavor. Especially Taylor's fans, some radical people especially want to see "Big Ben" ruthless and do "Shrek".

Unexpectedly, there was a scene of sympathy at the beginning, and the hug lasted for two seconds before parting, and if fans heard the conversation between the two macho men on the court, it would definitely become a joke in the NBA.

"This ...... I'm going to shake hands with you......" Hayes said helplessly.

"So...... That's why you're putting your hand on my pants? Ben Wallace sighed.

"Yes."

"Okay."

The two of them turned around very cooperatively, as if nothing had happened.

The race is on.

Yao Ming has an obvious height advantage and wins the jump ball.

The Rockets played inside in the opening period, and Ben Wallace defended in the same way as Hayes, squeezing Yao Ming out of the three-second zone. Yao Ming didn't seem to have come out of the haze of being reversed by the Spurs, he didn't feel very good, he didn't score the first turn jumper, Lore Deng won the rebound, and the Bulls fought back.

"Hinrich burst into the basket by blocking and picking, and in the case of attracting Hayes' defense, the pass was very good to the high post PJ Brown, and PJ Brown passed to Ben Gordon, who ran to his side, and hit a three-point jumper! The ball was beautiful and made good use of the cover of his teammates. Drexler quickly commented: "The Rockets attacked, still played Yao Ming, and the shot was off, and the rhythm was a little too fast." He may have been afraid that someone would come up and wrap it up. ”

Yao Ming shot wide, and the rebound bounced towards Hayes.

PJ-Brown is old and strong, experienced, in the case of a slightly inferior position, he pressed one of Hayes's arms with small movements, Hayes was pressed and couldn't jump, his height was at an absolute disadvantage, and he naturally couldn't grab PJ-Brown.

"I'm rubbing, foul!" Hayes shouted. He was so annoyed by PJ Brown that the referee ignored him and had to hurry back to the defense.

The Bulls made a few passes and then found Ben Gordon, who received the ball on the three-second line, turned past Maddy, accelerated and dodged Yao Ming's layup.

Gordon was very excited, and Maddie probably was still thinking about when to be a key bear again, and seemed absent-minded.

The Rockets team members implemented tactical arrangements and still played to Yao Ming, this time Yao Ming chose to pass, Maddie started in one step, stopped the jump shot, and the ball was deflected. PJ-Brown repeated the trick and hooked Hayes in the arm again, and this time, Hayes shook his hand hard, jumped up, and grabbed the rebound.

Hayes was just about to shoot when the referee's whistle blew and he was fouled on a rebound. It turned out that he had just waved his hand, and PJ-Brown, who was 211cm tall, fell to the ground.

"He pulled me by the arm, why did you for a foul?" Hayes asked, taking the basketball to the referee's side.

The referee ran away as if he hadn't seen him, and Hayes wanted to lift the blind man up and throw him into the audience.

PJ-Brown laughed secretly in his heart: Don't think that I'm old and can't jump up to bully, you kid is still too tender.

The Bulls still hit Gordon, and this time he took a step at a 60-degree angle on the left side with a PJ-Brown block, and hit a jumper! The bull played a small ** of 7:0, and a sigh broke out in the audience.

The Rockets continued to hit Yao Ming, who was resisted by Ben Wallace with strength and turned around for the third time and missed the jumper.

There is a saying in China that repeats itself over and over again, and PJ Brown was about to do it again when he found that one of his arms was grabbed. Hayes let out a loud shout and grabbed the rebound.

As soon as Hayes landed, he judged the situation on the field, and he is now much faster than ordinary people.

Fast reaction is the basic condition for seeing the six ways and hearing the eight directions.

After months of training, Hayes has become more and more adept at using his quick reflexes to play well. After winning the rebound, he observed PJ Brown's position with the rest of his eyes, bent his legs slightly, made a move that was about to jump hard, and raised his hand to shake PJ Brown up.

Hayes played a nice time difference, hit PJ-Brown and shot, and the ball went in! PJ Brown stumbled to the ground, obviously suffering, but the referee still had to award him a foul.

"Thank you for teaching me a trick, albeit a bit mean." As he passed PJ-Brown, Hayes whispered.

Standing at the free throw line, Hayes slapped the ball a few times. The fans under the basket cheered him on, and he suddenly noticed a fan waving a large composite photo of Shrek with his head under the basket......

Hayes lost his mind for a moment, missed the free throw, and missed the opportunity to hit a three-pointer.

In the next game, the five players on the court of the Rockets frequently "hit the iron", and the shooting rate was amazingly low, playing 8 minutes, and the Rockets fell behind by 14 points.

"Yao Ming didn't feel very good, this was his 9th shot, and he took Maddy's sudden score to the basket, turned around, and finally went in." Seeing Yao Ming's performance, Drexler said helplessly.

"Maddie isn't in good shape either, mostly defensively, and Gordon has scored 12 points." Matt Bullard said: "Gordon had a complete outburst today. ”

Wasn't there a point of view? If Ben Gordon can be 10 centimeters taller, he can affect the league landscape. Drexler laughed.

Ben Gordon is a ruthless character, his offense is very versatile, he is a breakaway, a pull-up jumper, he is proficient at all three-point shooting, he can't defend when his hands are hot, and he has a big heart and is good at key shots.

The audience called Maddie's name, hoping that he could recreate the style of the scoring champion and give the arrogant Bull a look.

With a shout, Alston handed the ball to Maddie.

All the viewers who like Maddie have their eyes wide open in anticipation of Maddie's performance, and at the moment, he has only scored two points on the free throws for Lore Deng's defense.

Maddie made two feints and suddenly activated the left to break past Rohr Deng, only to bump into Ben Wallace. "Big Ben" fell to the ground. Having played so many seasons, Wallace is equally experienced and occasionally performs.

Maddie was very unhappy with the decision and muttered to the referee, only to be whistled for another technical foul.

Maddie covered her head with her hands, spun around in place, and said with an innocent face: "Why? I speak so quietly, you still t? ”

The referee said coldly: "You and Yao Ming are on the same team, don't talk nonsense, don't think I don't know that 'grass mud horse' and 'fake squid' are the same!" (All are mythical beasts)"

Saying that Yao Ming was next to him, when he heard the conversation between the two, he suddenly felt extremely proud, and remembered a song by She: "The whole world is learning Chinese, and Confucius's words are becoming more and more international......"

Maddie fouled twice and could only go down to rest, causing some female fans who love Maddie to shout "Ya Kill Butterfly".

The Rockets called a timeout, and in the final four minutes, Yao Ming was also replaced by Van Gundy. This Yao Ming's hands are already cold enough to be qualified to wear the White Bird Holy Clothes, if he doesn't go down again, the Bulls' half-court basket will be beaten into an artifact by him, and the cadres and Mo Xie will call him a master.

Yao Ming sat on the bench, drank two bottles of water in one go, and wiped his face with a towel depressedly, as if he saw a toilet lid on the Bulls' half-court basket......

"Deacbe [Mutombo] and Bunch [Wells]. The offense has Chuck at its core. Jeff Van Gundy said.

Previously, Wells only came off the bench in the second quarter. When playing against the Spurs, he scored 20 points and 11 rebounds, which gave defensive expert Bowen a headache.

Regardless of the surname, Wells' personal abilities are unquestionable, and Jeff Van Gundy is beginning to recognize his worth.

Wells looked at the situation on the field like a dream, messy in the iron, and a heart that brushed the data was already hungry and thirsty.

However, the Rockets are very particular about teamwork, and Wells is starting to understand this and can't be so reckless. Before he came on the pitch, he didn't forget to ask Jeff Van Gundy, "Coach, what tactics should I perform when I come on the court?" Did I catch the ball and go to the basket and hit it back? Or do you dribble the ball into the basket and play it with your back? Or grab the frontcourt rebound and play back? ”

Wells is the Spurs defensive expert who used this trick Bowen has no temper.

Jeff Van Gundy Khan one, patted Bunch Wells on the back, and exclaimed, "Nonsense! Back hit! ”

After the timeout, the muscle combination of Bunch-Wells and Hayes formed a double shot to help the Rockets bite the score. At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets trailed by eight points, 34-26.

In the second quarter, it was still the Bulls who had the offensive advantage. Ben Gordon went completely berserk, scoring 14 points in the quarter and causing another foul on Maddie after a breakaway. Maddie fouled too many fouls and the form was not optimistic.

Maddy, who was plagued by fouls, alerted Hayes, and he began to consciously make Bulls defenders foul, which was quite effective.

At halftime, the two teams were tied at 43-51, with the Rockets trailing by eight points.

Yao Ming scored just 8 points under Ben Wallace's defense.

Of course, Ben Wallace was more uncomfortable with Yao Ming's defense. He can't score, he can only rely on rebounds to prove his value, and now when he meets Yao Ming, not only does he not get a point, but it is also difficult to grab rebounds. Data is draining, and Big Ben's heart is dripping blood.

Although behind and on the comment bench, Matt Bullard is still optimistic about the Rockets winning the game, chatting: "Two of the Rockets' Big Three did not play well, fortunately there was Chuck Hayes, he didn't have a high shooting percentage today, 3 of 9 shots, but he made a lot of fouls, and the interior was very lethal." PJ Brown and Roel Deng three times each. That would make it difficult for the Bulls to play in the second half. Clyde, what do you think? ”

Drexler laughed: "The Bulls relied on Ben Gordon's 28-point half-time play to lead, and since Chandler went to the Hornets and Curry went to the Knicks, the Bulls have a big flaw on the inside. Ben Wallace isn't tall enough, PJ Brown is too old, and neither is good at offense. Roel Deng can play in the big forward position, he is not very strong, and he suffers when he defends hard-line inside. The second half was a big test for them, and if Maddy and Yao Ming found their touch, it would be difficult for the Bulls to hold on to the lead. ”

Matt Bullard said: "I feel like Hayes is really smart when he plays, he always uses his strengths to attack other people's weaknesses, he makes fouls so beautifully, it's hard to imagine that he is in his second year in the NBA." ”

Drexler said: "I completely agree with this, the scariest thing about Hayes is not that his offense began to be like Barkley, but that he began to be as calm as Duncan, his passing is already good, if he can strengthen his rebounding ability, I am afraid he can really reach the height of Barkley, and he will definitely not lose when he plays the Spurs." ”

Hayes, unaware of his induction into the Hall of Fame by two commentators, listened intently to Jeff Van Gundy's tactics.

"I don't feel good, the shooting rate is too low, don't shoot in the second half, try to break through to the basket, and make them foul. Tracy (Maddy) You have to work hard, let them see, you're the top scorer. ”

With only eight points trailing, the Rockets are confident they can make a comeback at home.

Defensively, Jeff Van Gundy has made a fresh attempt. Tracy went to keep an eye on Nocioni and Sean (Battier) continued to limit Rohr Deng and he scored a lot of points today. Chuck, I think you're too wasteful defending the interior, I want you to defend Ben Gordon! His breakthrough is average, no faster than Corunna (Azubuuk), no problem, right? ”

Hayes relaxed his muscles, shook his neck, and sneered, "No problem! ”
