The Bobcats and Suns staged a super offensive battle, which made the audience in attendance addicted.

In this game, the players on both sides are amazing, although they can not play fast attack every time, but the shooting percentage is amazing, and no one can prevent anyone. The score was 68-74, with the Bobcats trailing by six points.

Before the end of the first half, Hayes received a pass from Felton on the left, dribbled with his back, suddenly turned to the baseline, and squeezed Stoudeyer into the basket. Stodameyer was already mad at Hayes, and when Hayes jumped up to shoot, Stodameyer pushed him around the waist with a small movement. Hayes leaned in the air, one foot was almost out of the baseline, and he threw the ball out even though he leaned back sharply, and the Suns players collectively watched as the ball bounced off the rebound, and then bounced twice on the basket and fell into the basket. 70 to 74.

Hayes staggered to his form after landing on one foot. If he had landed with this kind of movement last season, Hayes would have been lying on the ground, and he trained for two months this summer, and the most improved area was his physical coordination, which allowed him to do a lot of movements that he couldn't do before.

The referee blew for a push foul on Stoudamire and Hayes was given a penalty. It was Stoudamire's third individual foul of the game, all of which went to Hayes.

It's a pity that Hayes missed the free throw this time, and the missed shot also had the effect of reducing the Suns' last offensive time.

Marion had just 1.7 seconds left for the Suns to attack when he won the rebound, and Marion passed to Barbossa, who threw the ball forward with both hands and smashed it on the rebound, ending the first half.

It's a crazy game. Both sides are constantly attacking each other's weaknesses.

The Bobcats can't stop Nash. Calderon is not Fisher, he doesn't have Fisher's physique and the bravery he has when switching guards. So he was shot in the head by the Suns' forward again and again when he switched defenses, and replaced with Felton, and the situation did not improve, the Bobcats players were always slow to defend, and Nash's brilliant passing gave his teammates too many opportunities.

After Nash scored 30 points and 10 assists in the last game, he was even more brave in this game, with 17 points and 8 assists already close to a double-double. Stoudamire has also scored 18 points.

Hayes had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the Bobcats to the score. A lot of players have never played in their lifetimes, and Hayes did it in the half. He ran a wide range of positions during the fast break, asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle on both sides of the position, resolutely hit the basket, and tried to make fouls if he couldn't score, although he suffered two big hats from Stoudamire in the first half, but the uncomfortable person was indeed Stoudamire, Hayes's offense was very resolute, and if he fouled again in the second half, the playing time would definitely be shortened.

"It's an over-the-top game. Hayes is afraid of breaking his own scoring record. With his current state, scoring 50 points is not a problem, he is playing more and more confidently, and most of the points today are to break through to the basket! Kenny Smith said.

"Chuck should be thankful for me, I told him on vacation to be confident. For example, I think I'm the most handsome man in the world, and that's exactly what happened. Barkley laughed.

"Handsome man, how do you think the two sides will play in the second half? The Bobcats are now scoring on their own with Hayes, and things look a little off the beaten track. Smith said.

"Comparing Nash to Chuck, I think it's the Suns who are not in a good situation, and it's not easy for the Suns to win this game, mainly because of the physical problems of the Suns players. The score is very tight, and if Nash plays more than 40 minutes, it is difficult to say what level of performance he will play in the fourth quarter, but Chuck will play 40 minutes and will be in the same state as when he first started the game. His physical strength is among the best in the league. I don't think Nash can compare to Chuck at all, so the Bobcats will win. Barkley said. The world will say that Nash can't be compared to Hayes, and the only estimate is this fat man.

Smith laughed: "Hayes singled in the same position many times in the first half, and the Bobcats haven't used a front guard against him, why do you say that? ”

"If I were the head coach, I wouldn't have players go around to defend Chuck, he's not the same as Yao Ming, Tim [Duncan] and the kind of tall interior linemen," Barkley said. If you meet those two, the opponent can use a defensive around the front, but defending Hayes around the front is tantamount to asking for problems for himself. He wasn't afraid to go around the road. ”

Smith said, "Can you elaborate a little bit? I guess my friends in front of the TV want to hear it too. Are you saying he's fast and can run to the other side? ”

Barkley laughed: "It's a shame that you've been in the NBA, and you haven't even figured out Chuck's technical characteristics." It's not a matter of Chuck being fast enough to run to the other end to catch the ball, it's that if the Suns go around the front to defend, it's equivalent to sending him inside. Chuck wasn't happy enough, as long as he got stuck in position, the other Bobcats players could shoot as much as they wanted. His rebounding prowess is something that no team in the league dares to ignore. Last season, he had the highest rebounding efficiency in the league, and if you look at 48 minutes of rebounding, he is the rebounding king. Let's not forget that he played small forward in many games. ”

Smith suddenly realized. If Hayes leads the lead inside and gets stuck, it will be difficult for the Suns to protect their backcourt rebounds, and the game will be difficult to play. So the Suns would rather let Hayes receive the ball comfortably and then send weak-side players to help defend it. Hayes's split ball made them dare not go all out, and as a result, Hayes made consecutive singles and scored 28 points in the half.

The Bobcats' players were confident of winning, mainly because of the substitutions. There is not much difference between the strength of the Bobcats' main force and the substitutes. Okafor is now an inside bench, and that speaks for itself. Landry was physically fit and good for a fast-paced game, scoring four points in the first half. But he was too excited, and there were more fouls. Three early fouls went off the bench.

D'Antoni is ready to continue to give Landry the chance to play in the second half, allowing the newcomer to play his talents and build confidence. Okafor really couldn't play the Suns for too long, he was too slow to keep up with the rhythm at all. He couldn't run back into the halfcourt, the Suns were already on offense, and their excellent interior defense couldn't play.

"In the second half, we should pay attention to the speed of the return and we can't let them do whatever they want. Use the second set of tactics (Eagle Attack) when attacking the position. On the rotation lineup. Bite the score is a victory. Chuck, you should rest for the second half. D'Antoni said.

Hayes had just four minutes off in the first half. However, Hayes objected.

"I don't think I need to rest. The Suns are definitely scared of me now, and if I go, they won't be as stressed. If you want to rest, you can not use me as an attacking point and let me rest on the field. As long as I'm on the pitch, they have to focus on me and defend, and the others play better. Hayes said. As long as there is no hand-to-hand combat on the inside of the Suns in the attack, it will be considered a rest for him.

D'Antoni thought for a moment and announced that Hayes would continue to play in the second half.

The Bobcats lineup was changed to Landry, Hayes, Moon, Weaver, Felton.

The Suns also adjusted their lineup, Nash came off the game and replaced Marcus Banks, and the other four players were Barbossa, Dio, Marion, and Sean Marks.

Nash and Stoudamire also need a break.

The third quarter of the game began, with the Suns attacking first.

The man Hayes defended was Sean Marx. In fact, this is a kind of rest, he just needs to follow Max. The Suns aren't going to use Marks as an offensive point to hit Hayes unless the coach goes crazy.

Barbosa breaks through with the ball. "Brazilian Lightning" was lightning against the others, but against Weaver's defense, the difference in speed between the two was not huge. Weaver's defensive awareness is not strong, but he is not afraid of Barbossa. The two fight for speed, and Weaver has a height advantage in follow-up defense.

Barbosa missed a jumper with Weaver's interference. Marion grabbed a frontcourt rebound, a jumper from the basket, and was blocked by Moon. Marion didn't see Hayes guarding him, and didn't take the fringe man Moon in his eyes at all, but Moon's athleticism was not below Marion.

Felton picked up the basketball and flew across the halfcourt, with Barbossa following Weaver. Felton didn't pass to Weaver, but to Landry, who was following up in the middle. Landry, who was in the center position, had a clear advantage in speed, and after receiving the ball, he dunked with both hands. Max hasn't run back into the box yet. 72 to 74.

This is Landry's second violent dunk in this game! The on-site commentator exclaimed, "The lynx has found its little bully!" ”

Landry's mid-range shot is not too sure now, but dunking is his strong point, and he also has a certain ability to attack with the ball. Now D'Antoni likes him very much and makes him a key training target for the inside.

After Nash went off, the Suns' points of attack were Barbosa and Marion. Barbosa breaks through and splits the ball to Marion. The latter was tortured by Hayes a lot, and now he is capped by Moon, a Lynx borderliner, and in order to save face, he must return one.

The defender of Marion was Landry, who used his bizarre dribbling to break inside and hit a half-hook shot. 72 to 76.

Landry's fingers were just a little distance from the basketball. Although he couldn't cover it, Landry still has a smile on his face, and he has already played with confidence in this game.

The Suns attacked the position, Hayes covered Weaver to block Barbossa, Weaver ran into the interior without the ball, Felton's ball was delivered in time, and without Barbossa's entanglement, Weaver shook off Max in one step. One-handed dunk hit. 74 to 76.

Marion catches the ball again and singles Landry. Landry doesn't have a good sense of defense, he's not good at defending breakouts. Felton let go of Banks, who was defending himself, and wrapped Marion. It was a correct strategy, Banksy was stronger than defensively and very poor offensively. Marion shielded the basketball and barely passed it to Dio, who distributed the ball to Banksy in the open space. Banksy took a look from the perimeter, made a three-point shot, and the ball was still deflected. His perimeter shooting was too poor, shooting a measly 17.2 percent from the field last season.

"Attack!" Hayes shouted. After shouting, he jumped up with Max, took the backcourt rebound, turned and dribbled past Max, and made a long pass to the frontcourt with both hands to find Weaver. The front court is three against two, and the other two of the Bobcats are Felton and Moon. Moon was targeted by Marion, and Felton's position was empty, but Weaver only had the basket in his eyes, and under Barbossa's defense, he chose to make a layup himself, and the ball did not go in.

As soon as Barbossa took a breath, he saw a person flying behind him, Landry followed in time, won the frontcourt rebound, and immediately got up after landing, and dunked into the frame with one hand! 76 to 76!

Landry dunked for the third time in the game, and many spectators stood up excitedly to cheer for this newcomer!

Barkley said: "Landry is very promising for the Bobcats' tactics, he was actually selected in the second round, and the SuperSonics are like giving the Bobcats a talent for nothing." ”

Smith laughed, "Calderon, Landry, Weaver...... The Bobcats have a number of rising stars this season that can help Hayes! ”

On the other hand, the Suns' offense, without Nash, is fighting alone. Barbosa missed a three-pointer from the perimeter and Hayes defended the rebound. The Suns all returned to halfcourt, and Marks didn't even have the idea of grabbing rebounds, so he retreated directly. This time after Hayes blocked, Weaver rushed inside to attract the defense, and Felton handed it to Hayes in the high post. Hayes received the ball and shook it, and after Barbosa jumped up, he took a step forward with the ball and hit a pull-up jump shot. 78 to 76! The Bobcats overtook the score again.

Suns coach Porter couldn't sit still and sent Nash and Stoudeyer back on the court. The sun is ready to fight, and wants to use the main players to defeat the opponent in one go!

The Bobcats also traded Calderon and Wallace, and they thought the same thing.
