The final score was 146-128, and the Bobcats won at home. He made 30 of 56 three-pointers, breaking the record set by the Rockets against the Knicks. The Bobcats made a total of 89 shots, with three-pointers accounting for almost two-thirds of the total shots. This style of play is very rare.

In terms of overall shooting percentage, the Bobcats were not as good as the Rockets 29 of 48 that year, and the Bobcats won by shooting more. The Suns' defense wasn't much better than the Knicks back then.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Nash sat quietly in his seat without looking up. Although his face was expressionless, everyone knew that he was not devoid of the defeat, but that he was extremely depressed. Just like if you don't quarrel and don't become a husband and wife, two people who break up often have nothing to say. It's the same with the NBA. Nash was tired, and he found himself unable to run happily on the court.

When Marion was swapped, Nash once said that it would be difficult for the Suns to find someone who would help the team so much, and if Marion left, the Suns' strength would definitely decline. This claim has now been verified.

In his post-match press conference, Nash admitted that it was the toughest season of his career. "It's been the toughest season of my career so far. At the beginning of my career, I also had a tough time, but it was only on a personal level, and no one expected anything from us. Expectations weren't as high as they are now, so it's tougher now than they were then. We've been talking about it, but we just can't find an answer. ”

The Suns have failed to make a name for themselves in the playoffs for years, and there are more and more doubts about Nash. Experts believe he was overrated, and despite his 28 points and 16 assists in the game, his defensive performance was a mess. Bobcats bench players Anthony Morrow and George Hill scored 14 and 10 points, respectively, under his defense. Not to mention the balls that Durant and others easily scored in front of him after blocking and changing defenses. A player who has a strong offense and can defend is called a superstar, Nash has not been good enough in defense, his strengths and weaknesses are so obvious, if the peak Nash meets the peak Payton, the result must be completely exploded.

Suns head coach Terry Porter said a few words and stopped giving interviews, as the losing side and let the opponent break the record, as a head coach will definitely not feel good. Porter now feels the feeling of the head coach of the Raptors who was scored 81 points by Kobe.

D'Antoni, Hayes and Durant were the focus of the press conference. Hayes is used to being noticed like this, and Durant is smiling happily. Durant finished with 27 points, eight rebounds and four assists, and made 6 of 11 three-point attempts. Hayes was still assist-oriented, with a triple-double of 15 points, 11 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals.

In this game, the Bobcats scored 9 double-doubles, except for Brook Lopez and Karl Landry, who are not good at shooting three-pointers and did not get many shots, only Azubuike of the outside players had a general feel and scored 7 points.

The reporter first interviewed D'Antoni and asked him to comment on the game. Although the Bobcats slaughtered the Suns, D'Antoni wanted to save some face for the Suns, saying: "The Suns are a good team, it's just in the midst of a transition, the players need to grind, and in this game, the absence of their top scorer Amare Stodammire was the main reason for their loss, and if he can get on the court and match with Steve (Nash), we will be under more pressure on the defensive end." ”

The reporter asked; "In this game, the Bobcats sacrificed a 5-forward tactic again, is this the future development direction of the Bobcats?"

D'Antoni laughed: "Of course not. No matter how good Chuck defensively is, it's hard to get the upper hand against the defenders, and it's only in certain situations that we do that. The Bobcats can play any tactic, we've got the run-in done and the players know what they need to do. ”

Lopez, Gasol, and Landry didn't score much today, but D'Antoni was very satisfied with their performance, because the three strictly implemented the tactical requirements, and after O'Neal went off the court, even if they had an advantage on the inside, the three did not attack.

Many people compare the NBA stadium to the battlefield, what is the first thing a soldier on the battlefield should do? Not to charge, but to obey orders. D'Antoni was the commander who commanded the battle.

The person the reporters most wanted to interview was Hayes. "Mr. Hayes, in the past you used to get a lot of points against the Suns, this time you only scored 15 points, you have reduced the number of shots this season, how do you feel?"

Hayes found the reporter's question boring, and smiled: "I don't have any feelings, Nash didn't score more than 20 points when he got the MVP, the important thing is that the team wins, as long as my teammates can shoot the ball, I am willing to make it my first priority to respond to the offense." ”

Then he asked, "What do you think of Mr. Durant?" ”

"Promising teammates. I expect him to be a player at the level of Kobe Bryant and LeBron, he's really good. As long as the opponent lacks a tall player, he can control the game. Hayes glanced at Durant and smiled.

The reporter asked, "How does he compare with you?" ”

"Kevin, answer that question." Hayes laughed.

"I can't compare to him, he's the best player in the league. I haven't gotten a triple-double. We're not the same type of player, I can only score, I can't make my teammates stronger, Chuck is different, I didn't play as easily as I did with the Trail Blazers. Durant said. He never thought of comparing himself to Hayes. He wouldn't have scored so easily without Hayes' pass.

The reporter asked Durant again: "The Trail Blazers have played well this season, do you have any evaluation for them?" ”

Durant thought for a moment and said, "The Trail Blazers are a young, very motivated team, they are strong, but they are not suitable for me to develop. Luckily, I moved to the Bobcats, and I'm glad I was so lucky that the Trail Blazers couldn't make it to the Finals, but the Bobcats are different, and I think there's a good chance of winning the championship this season! ”

Since the last championship declaration, the Bobcats' players have not been very modest.

The Bobcats really have no need to be modest, after defeating the Suns, they met teams such as the Magic, Cavaliers, Wizards, Knicks, Rockets, Celtics, etc., and easily won 10 consecutive wins! The overall score changed to 24 wins and 2 losses.

It was found that the Bobcats seemed to be able to play any tactic. After Camby's injury, the Bobcats didn't show signs of weakness on the inside. Brook Lopez is strong on offense, his low hook and high half volley are very powerful, and after playing more than 20 games, his confidence is getting stronger and stronger, and his scoring is on the rise, averaging 13 points per game, and has a tendency to become the third scoring point of the Bobcats.

Marc Gasol moves a little awkwardly, but he's aggressive in grabbing rebounds and passing well. Protecting backcourt rebounds makes it easier for the team to launch a fast break.

When Lopez was on the floor, the Bobcats played a pick-and-roll tactic that allowed Lopez to pull up high to cover. And when Gasol plays, the Bobcats don't need to let Hayes control the rebounds too much on the inside, and they can play and shoot. Gasol was alone in the backcourt, and the Bobcats assaulted with four people.

The Bobcats averaged 113 points per game and conceded 96.5 points per game this season, outscoring opponents by nearly 20 points on average. The players have received high praise, such as the backup power forward Landry's stats have dropped, but the experts' evaluation of him has risen instead of falling, because this season his mid-range shooting is more accurate, and he has done a better job of covering than last season, and he often contributes to morale-boosting dunks in the low post.

Although Bagnani has a soft style of play, he can easily evacuate the interior and use it as a big man pitcher. He appeared on the court with Durant, and no opponent did not feel a headache.

There are also Anthony Morrow, George Hill and others who can make a difference as soon as they get on the pitch.

Of course, no matter how the role players play, Hayes is the first core of the Bobcats, the one who connects the whole team to attack.

There is only one person on the Bobcats who is called overrated by experts. That's manager D'Antoni. The reason is that the lineup of the Bobcats is too luxurious, which is like fighting the landlord, if a person catches two kings and four twos in his hand, it is difficult to lose even those who can't play cards...... Hayes is proud of the pitch and has been very smooth in life.

His sales of sneakers and jerseys have grown significantly this season. During the break, Adidas asked Hayes to shoot a new commercial. However, Adidas' new ad is not the main reason for the increase in sales.

Half a month ago, there was a well-known anecdote in Chicago, a young man wearing the No. 44 orange jersey kicked a group of black belts in a taekwondo gym. Adidas joked that the man was Hayes' apprentice, and that the promotion of Hayes' jersey was more effective than any advertisement...... Hayes's endorsed clothing, cars, laptops, mobile phones and other products are also selling very well.

The NBA league also asked Hayes to sing a song for the NBA. As one of the official promotional songs of the NBA. The lyrics and songs were all created by famous American musicians, and although Hayes didn't study much music, he still had a good sense of musicality, and it took him a day to complete the recording. MTV doesn't need to be filmed, it's a highlight of NBA basketball games. In this episode, Hayes also plays the main role.

Once released, the single attracted countless fans and topped the online download charts, and is likely to become the number one single in a few weeks. Hayes himself wondered, did he really have the potential to become a singer? Experts predict that the song may bring him another Grammy trophy in the future.

In fact, in the entertainment industry, voice and acting skills are only one aspect of fame, and the most important thing is fame. With Hayes's current fame, even if he sings the English version of "Two Tigers", some people listen to it. The same song has a different feeling when it is sung from the mouth of a star. On the contrary, many folk singing masters are like Paul Potts, the champion of America's Got Talent. He is a mobile phone salesman by profession and sings "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" better than Pavarotti. He has such a voice but no one knows it, it's a matter of fame. If Hayes can sing "My Sun", he is likely to be praised as the new king of songs in the music world.

In addition, Gao Tongxuan's belly is also getting bigger day by day. Hayes's family in Houston had already learned about the incident and had a good time staying in Charlotte for a few days.

According to the estimation of the date, after the New Year, Hayes should be a father.
