Chapter 239 [Domineering Sea Master, Throw Quickly!] 】

"Foul! Don't let Hayes score again! Can't a group of people prevent him? Do you want him to score 60 points today? Stan Van Gundy dissatisfied.

"Coach, it's no ordinary player, it's Chuck Hayes." Vince Carter said with a grim face. Hayes made two consecutive three-pointers in front of him. He didn't think it would be possible to get in that situation. Hayes couldn't see the basket, it was all by feel, it was terrible. Carter compares Hayes to his peak self and feels like he's a little bit worse. If the Magic defends him in this way, he will be much less effective if he is not prevented.

Stan Van Gundy took a deep breath. If it weren't for the Bobcats' lineup having obvious weaknesses, if Hayes had a second consistent scoring point around him who was good at singles. It was very difficult for the Magic to win against the Bobcats. Hayes alone can make them mess up.

The Bobcats' salary is still ample if they bring in a superstar in the summer, plus the return of Bagnani and Wallace. Who's going to stop next season? Stan Van Gundy knows that this season is the best chance for the Magic to reach the Finals and challenge for a championship. In the Eastern Conference finals against the Hawks, they are still confident of winning.

The Magic replaced Tony Barty for Pat Garriti. Veteran Garritty is averaging only 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds per game this season, and he came up with a foul.

"Don't break through, draw Hayes to the perimeter, strengthen the shooting, and Dwight grabs the frontcourt rebound for a second offense." Stan Van Gundy also changed his offensive tactics. Hayes' big hat Tony Barty is heart-wrenching. Keep Hayes away from the interior and Howard will play better.

On the side of the bobcat, Barnes hugged Hayes and shouted, "Chuck, I love you so much." ”

"Don't love me, I have a girlfriend." Hayes laughed, "Don't be too happy, we're going to work harder." ”

"We've broken down the Magic's compressive defense, but they're definitely going to have other ways to disrupt our offense. Our defense is still mainly on the outside, we must keep an eye on the outside, and we must be timely when changing defenses. If the Magic's interior player gets the ball, it's a foul! Today we will definitely win! Show momentum! D'Antoni exclaimed.

"Kill the magic! Yes! Hayes let out a wild roar, duffling the voices of the Magic home fans.

The Bobcats players were encouraged and roared together.

Van Gundy was also yelling, he had never been so passionate, and if he hammered his chest a few times, he would be a gorilla. The momentum of the bobcat is fully up!

"Trailing by 19 points, he actually chased it back without making a sound, and Hayes almost single-handedly launched all the attacks from him. It's too strong. Kenny Smith said.

"I think the Bobcats players can play the Spartan 300 warrior with their current momentum and change their clothes!" Barkley laughed.

The match between the two sides resumed. The Bobcats made no substitutions.

Magic attacked, Carter and Cott Grew were heavily defended by Barnes and Hayes, Nelson couldn't pass the ball, waited for Garridi to come forward to cover, dribbled away Rondo, and hit a jumper before Biedrins stepped forward to make up for the defense. 73 to 71.

The Bobcats offense still passed the ball to Hayes. Thomas went to cover in the high post and Hayes had just taken a step with the ball when the referee's whistle blew. Garrity pushes for a foul.

The Bobcats sent a throw-in, Garriti and Turkoglu sandwiched Hayes in the middle, and the Bobcats had to pass the ball to Rondo. Rondo dribbles the ball and observes the position. Then the referee's whistle blew again. Hayes runs, Garytila fouls.

Garriti was on the court for just six seconds and had already committed two fouls.

Barkley watched the game be interrupted again and said disdainfully, "Is this still called playing basketball?" I was disgusted when I saw this tactic of magic. Garrity came up with fouls, and when the total fouls reached four, the Magic began to rush to Biedlins, who shot no more than 40% of his free throws in the playoffs, making his free throws more secure than Hayes' shooting, but what is this comparison? Than free throws? The Magic won the first three games, and I suggest that the league change the rules in the future, and those who deliberately foul like this should be punished with two free throws and one throw! ”

"Magic is just making reasonable use of the rules, right? If Biedrins had been on the right free throws, that wouldn't have been the problem. Didn't the Bobcats use foul tactics on Howard in the past? Smith laughed.

"At least the Bobcats didn't send a guy who didn't have the ball to play for a deliberate foul. The magic style of play made the game very boring. I can't prevent Hayes from going to the bag one-on-one, and I can't prevent Hayes from catching the ball, and now I just send other players to the free throw line, just with the mentality of Magic, it doesn't look like I can win the championship. Barkley said.

As the game continued, Garriti continued to foul off the ball, and the referee shook his head when he encountered this situation. The number of fouls committed by the Magic reached four. Garriti was replaced after completing his mission, and it was James Augustin, who was 208cm tall, who came on the field with another "foul machine". If you want to talk about this backup power forward, even Magic fans don't know him because he is so marginalized. Only when players on the edge of garbage time struggled to get five players together because of too many fouls did Augustin get a chance to play. He averaged 1.4 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. But he averaged 1.7 fouls per game. Fouls are his forte. In short, this person has no sense of existence.

Legend has it that Stan van Gundy once talked to James Augustin alone before the game, gave him a foul tactic, and walked away, not realizing that the person wearing the number 40 shirt that day was defender Carlos Arroyo...... (Is it already possible to recognize people only by their jerseys?) How weak is this man? Isn't the status much better than a caddie? It was the owner of the forgotten No. 40 jersey who came on the court and immediately came into play and sent Biedlings to the free-throw line. Biedrins was nervous as soon as he hit the free-throw line, feeling like he was in a dungeon-like blacksmith shop, with no light on all sides, spells on all sides, embattled on all sides, and the only thing he could do was swing the hammer in his hand with a little firelight. The first penalty missed, and the second penalty was missed.

Howard grabbed the rebound, and the Magic defended successfully. Carter hit a step-back jumper under Barnes' tight defense to tie the score at 73-73.

The Bobcats replaced Biedrins with Landry, who was more accurate on the free-throw line. The Magic also replaced Augustine with Tony Barty. After that, the two sides entered a stalemate.

The Magic's outside firepower was stronger than that of the Bobcats, and Nelson and Carter hit back-to-back three-pointers. The Magic led by six more points before the end of the third quarter, but Hayes was not to be outdone and turned the Magic defense upside down. He first took advantage of his teammates' cover and returned a jumper, and then assisted Barnes on a hook shot to stabilize his position.

Hayes scored 17 points in the third quarter. The Bobcats trailed by two points 84-86 heading into the fourth quarter.

"That...... Can I cheer for Hayes? He's too strong and I hope the Bobcats can win this game. A student fan asked the two companions who came along.

"Boena, are you crazy? We're Magic fans! The boy with curly blond hair said.

"But Mike...... You see, a lot of people over there have already lowered their flags. ”

At the end of the third quarter, some of the home fans had already put down the "sweep" banner and applauded the Bobcats when they played a beautiful offense. Hayes has already conquered Magic fans with his performance.

The fourth quarter begins.

Landry went to cover in the high post, Hayes took a step to the side to get rid of Turkoglou, took the ball with both hands, Howard stood on the inside and waited, Carter came out of the weak side, and the two looked to form a pack. Hayes holds the ball with both hands, Howard's full attention is on Hayes' hands with the ball, if Hayes chooses a three-step layup, he has the confidence to block under the basket, and if Hayes pulls up a jumper, Carter's pace should be able to keep up with the side to block the basketball.

But things won't go as smoothly as the Magic players think, Hayes is already crazy, and he can take his chances as long as he has a little bit of air.

Hayes took two small steps and didn't completely shake off Carter, but he was very quick and just crossed the free-throw line before making a throw. Carter had just jumped and the ball was already in the shot. The ball has a large arc and lands accurately in the basket. 86 to 86.

What the hell?! Isn't that just littering? Carter and Howard were both stunned.

This is a trick that Hayes often practices in the team. After the breakthrough, it gives people the illusion of striding under the basket, quickly taking two small steps to throw, this move is about speed, unless someone in front of him is close to block his first step, otherwise the inside and outside players are not easy to block. Of course, this trick can't be used by ordinary people, it is completely based on the feel. When Hayes was training in the team, he liked to practice this kind of bizarre trick, and he was sure of it. What's the use of him in the case of being crazied!

Magic attack, Nelson broke through the ball to Turkoglou, Hayes was blocked by Tony Barty without the ball, Turkoglu hit the ball and made a stop-and-go jumper, and the ball went in! 86 to 88.

Hayes asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the inside line, Rondo hoisted the ball high into the inside, Howard and Turkoglu wrapped it together, Hayes took a step back with the ball, used his left foot as the axis, turned to the middle, and at the same time pulled the ball up with his right hand and cut into the penalty area from the gap between Howard and Turkoglou. He had physical contact with both of them, with both Howard and Turkoglou slowing down a bit.

Tony Barty on the other side also let go of Thomas and stuck it up.

It's too close to the basket and if you throw it back, you're likely to get blocked. Hayes can feel the pressure from the side, Tony Barty is the closest, and Howard's physicality is not a joke and may catch up. Fight!

Hayes didn't retreat, he crouched down with his face and jumped with all his feet, Howard didn't jump, he froze, and Tony Barty withdrew his hand in the air.

Hayes smashes the ball with both hands!

"I can't believe it! Hayes jumped up and dunked with both hands in the crowd, Howard didn't jump, Barty didn't dare to get on either, they were afraid of fouls! Hayes's momentum completely overwhelmed the magic! Barkley shouted.

Smith sighed, "Now I think the Bobcat is more likely to win!" Even the audience began to cheer for Hayes. It's no longer clear whose home is here. ”

"Foul! Foul stop him!" Stan Van Gundy shouted at the players.

Stopping Hayes may be the only way to get a foul.
