The second half of the game was teed off by the Rockets.

The Rockets changed to the main lineup at the beginning, and the Jazz made some adjustments and replaced Kirilenko, nicknamed "AK47", Kirilenko is tall and long-armed, a little thin, but explosive and strong defensively. Sloan wanted to use his defense to limit Maddy, who scored 11 points in a single quarter. At the same time, substitute power forward Paul Millsap was replaced by Boozer, who played nearly two quarters.

Maddy opened the game by breaking through from the left side after Hayes blocked and faced Kirilenko's defense and hit a pull-up jump shot to score two points. Widen the difference to double digits.

The mentality of the Jazz players who were trailing at home was clearly starting to make noise. Deron Williams, who was very active in the first half, broke through and bumped into Battier and was whistled for an offensive foul.

Hendry angrily shouted into the microphone: "The referee has been deceived, we see that Battier often uses this trick to create offensive fouls at the World Championships, he is like a tumbler on the court, he knocks it down when he touches it." ”

Malone: "......"

Hayes asked for the ball, sat down with his body inside, quickly squeezed to the basket, and easily hit Millsap with a half-hooked hand. Against Boozer, Hayes has no advantage in power, and Millsap is now just a newcomer.

Millsap also wanted to return one when he turned around, but he couldn't resist Hayes with his body, and wanted to shoot, and in the face of Hayes's "face and eye" defense, Millsap's shooting was also "iron". The Rockets defended rebounding well and didn't give the Jazz a second chance to attack.

Yao Ming received the ball at a 45-degree angle, performed "Shanghai dance steps", turned past Oku, and was fouled by Oku from behind when he was about to dunk. Yao Ming hit both penalties, and Oku, who committed four fouls, went down to guard the water dispenser.

Oku's impulsiveness made the Jazz on the inside, and after he went off the court, the Jazz had to replace Jalen Collins, who had little offensive ability. Meanwhile, Boozer returned to the field.

Such substitutions did not have any effect on the defensive end, the Rockets regarded the Jazz's interior as their own back garden, and the wonderful offensive scene reappeared, Madilla went to the baseline to receive the ball, attracted the defense, and jumped up to fake the real pass to Yao Ming, Yao Ming turned around and knocked away Jalen Collins with a one-handed dunk.

The Rockets went on an 8-0 run, and with 7 minutes and 25 seconds left, the score had stretched to 16 points.

Sloan didn't call a timeout, and Boozer hit the board with a beautiful low-post offensive jumper. He has a lot of offensive tools, such as playing low back, cutting inside, and hitting consistent mid-range shots from outside the three-second zone, all of which are very threatening. Hayes didn't dare to relax for a moment, and tried his best, but he still couldn't stop Boozer.

Boozer's star style is starting to show. When no one else is good, only you can, this is a star.

However, compared to the beastly interior attack, Boozer is a little worse on the defensive end and is not a dominant player.

Hayes asked for the ball on the left and singled Boozer, who lowered his center of gravity and opted to dribble through. Neither is known for their speed, Hayes turns right and dribbles to the basket, suddenly brakes, uses his left foot as the axis, steps away with his right foot, and lifts the ball up to see how he is about to shoot. Boozer immediately jumped up to block it. Hayes flickered for a moment, turned to the left and hit a hook shot.

Karl Malone, who was sitting on the commentator's seat, saw the ball, pointed at Hayes in surprise and said: "You are wrong, Hayes is not possessed by Barkley's soul, but Olajuwon, look at that footsteps......"

Hendry shook his head, speechless. He really couldn't figure out how a "floor flow" player could play such a flashy offense.

was recognized as a "blue-collar" player before the game, and the Jazz's momentum was affected again, and after Oku went off the court, the Rockets switched to regional defense. The Jazz's pick-and-roll coordination did not work, and it was more common for the players to fight on their own, although they also scored a few shots, but they played very hard every round, and they could only rely on Boozer and Deron Williams to support themselves.

After the Rockets took the lead, there was no mental baggage, and the more they played, the smoother they became, they could always rely on the non-stop inside pass, and the inside pass outside found an opportunity to shoot, Hyde, who came off the bench, hit two three-pointers in a row, and Span Nollis also relied on the breakthrough to score a goal.

At the end of the third quarter, the Jazz trailed by 21 points at home.

"Well done!" Jeff Van Gundy was smiling and clapping. He is now in high spirits, if he is asked to predict the winner before the game, he only thinks that his team has an eighty percent chance of winning the Jazz with Hayes's "secret weapon", but he didn't expect that the Jazz would be beaten out of temper in just three quarters. "In the second half, Yao Ming and Maddie rested first, the main force went first, Chuck you took the substitute to practice running, and when defending, people were marking people in the half. So far ahead, it's time to experiment with new tactics. ”

The Rockets' veteran players were amazed to hear this. Someone forced it to hold back and didn't reach out to pull Jeff Van Gundy's face to see if it was disguised. In their minds, Jeff Van Gundy is super conservative and will never come off the bench without leading by more than 30 points. Jeff Van Gundy has changed a lot, and the person who influenced him was Hayes.

The final quarter of the game began.

Hendry looked at the Rockets lineup and hated: "The Rockets actually went on the bench, and Hayes played center." It's too arrogant, and I hope that the Jazz will have a Jedi counterattack at the last time. ”

After being surprised too many times, the big expert Karl Malone is no longer too optimistic about the Jazz, and sighed: "The Rockets played super long today, they played too smoothly, and it won't be so easy to catch up." ”

The Rockets' lineup is now: center Hayes, power forward Novak, small forward Azubuike, shooting guard Hyde, and point guard Spanolys. Except for Novak, no one in the Rockets is taller than two meters, and it is definitely a small lineup with super mobility.

The Jazz are all on the side and want to rely on this opportunity to steal points.

Novak defends Oku and Hayes continues to play on Boozer. Sloan was smart enough to choose Oku as the point of attack, and he was bound to open up tough Hayes.

In the face of Novak's defense, Oku easily squeezed close to the inside, but he sat on the bench for too long, his hands were a little cold, and he didn't make a jump shot under the basket. Hayes used his body to get the rebound by holding Boozel behind him.

Hayes landed and handed the ball to Spanollis, who paused to play a long ball to the frontcourt. Hyde received the ball and Deron Williams, two college teammates, fought for speed, and Hyde took advantage of being as light as a swallow, slightly better, caught the ball and went to basketball, and smiled back at his old college teammate YD.

Deron Williams ignored him.

The Jazz attacked, Myers missed a three-pointer, Boozer squeezed away Hayes to get the frontcourt rebound, and the basket scored a one-handed dunk. Boozer's offense had taken a toll on Hayes, and he now understands why Yao Ming had cursed Boozer for being killed at night, because it was too difficult to "kill" Boozer on the court.

Hayes serves the ball to Spanoolis, who passes to Hyde and then to Azubuuk, who stops outside the three-point line and hands it to Hayes, who pulls out the ball to receive the ball. Boozer defended and Hayes had to pass to Novak, who had already gone down to the right foot. In this round, all five Rockets received the ball once, but they still couldn't find a gap. The weaknesses of the small lineup are revealed, and once they fall into position, they don't know how to play well.

With 24 seconds left, Novak forced a missed shot and Oku got the rebound.

The Jazz attacked the interior again, Oku beat Novak, and hit an easy shot under the basket, Hayes made up for the defense, but Oku's height went into the basket and he couldn't block it.

The Jazz mainly play inside, and after scoring, the outside players can return to defense at full speed, so that the Rockets cannot play a fast break.

When Spanoulis first arrived in the NBA, he hadn't adapted to the rhythm, and he didn't have enough run-in with his teammates, and he was not well organized, and he made a passing error, which allowed the opponent to play a quick counterattack, and Deron Williams hit a layup.

The Rockets still couldn't find a good way to attack in the next round, and after falling the position, Hyde missed, the Jazz won the rebound to play the position, and Okuni beat Novak again.

Hayes received the ball inside single, struggled to shake off Boozer, and missed the shot.

The Rocket team, which is accustomed to positional warfare, wants to change to run-and-bomb tactics, which is easier said than done. The Rockets lacked Nash's kind of guard who had excellent passing awareness and could lead the team to speed, and Spanoulis was sharp enough to break through, but it seemed that his passing awareness was still a little worse in this game.

Offensive efficiency cannot be guaranteed, and the Rockets' defense has become full of holes.

With more than three minutes to play in the final quarter, the Rockets called a timeout, and the first run-and-gun tactic failed.

Back on the pitch, Hayes was a little frustrated. It turned out like he had a bad idea for Jeff Van Gundy.

But Jeff Van Gundy didn't blame Hayes and didn't change his tactics, just adjusted the lineup. Battier comes on and defends Boozer as a power forward. Hayes continued to play center, defending Oku. Alstom, replacing Spanoulis. In addition, when Kirk Snyder came on the court, his singles ability was okay, he couldn't counterattack quickly, and he could have one more scoring point when he played positional offense.

"I believe the Rockets can be a run-and-shoot. Chuck, the interior line is mainly up to you, you must protect the backcourt rebounds. Jeff Van Gundy said to Hayes alone. He thinks the Rockets have a bad time just because Novak's defense is too bad.

"Thank you." Hayes looked at Jeff Van Gundy and said those two words heavily.

Hayes knew that if he was replaced by the previous Jeff Van Gundy, he would definitely adjust his tactics, but now he is just a substitution, and he did not let Yao Ming and Maddy play, just out of trust in him. This kind of trust makes his heart boil, even if he fights for his life, he must not let down his friends.

After the substitution, the Rockets' offense improved, and Alston may not be as fast as Spanoures, but he is more stable with the ball. After half-time, Hayes stepped forward to block and Alston broke through and handed the ball back to Hayes. Hayes received the ball without pausing, faced Deron Williams, and hit a pull-up jumper.

When defending, Hayes managed to put Oku outside the three-second zone, and Oku was not as strong as Boozer and chose to pass. Boozer missed a jumper under Battier's tight defense, and Snyder grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to the fast Azubuike, who dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, stopped outside the three-point line to attract the defense and then turned back to Hayes in the middle to follow. Boozer pounced for a block, Hayes missed the shot, and passed the ball to Hyde on the other side, who shot the ball in the open space, and he did well today, maintaining a high offensive efficiency during his bench time.

The Rockets picked up speed and returned 5-0, and the score opened again.

Next, the game went to a stalemate. The Jazz's offense is very efficient, scoring every time, and the Rockets chase and counterattack, and the shooting is also very resolute. Yao Ming and Maddy watched from the wall in the fourth quarter, but the Jazz failed to recover the score, and the difference remained between 15 and 20 points.

Coach Sloan's head was sweating. He didn't expect the Rockets to change their usual style of play in the crucial fourth quarter and send a small lineup to play with him, a move that disrupted all his plans. Boozer and Oku have the advantage of height on the offensive end, but they are slow to defend, and the advantage becomes a disadvantage. It takes about 15 seconds for the Jazz to complete an offense, and the Rockets generally play a fast break in 5 to 8 seconds, both of which are two points.

Oku struggled to get inside after being marked by Hayes, and could only rely on his height jumper on the outside, and his efficiency declined. Boozer singled Battier to score back-to-back points to finally recover from a 14-point trail. Alston and Hyde seized the opportunity to brush up on two more three-pointers, and the note went straight to the Jazz to the heart.

Boozer had an All-Star stat on the offensive end, and Battier couldn't guard him. But back on the defensive end, he couldn't do anything about Hayes either. Hayes made full use of his teammate's pick-and-roll in the fourth quarter, and Boozer was a little slow to follow the defense and shot well. If it attracts the rest of the Jazz defense, the ball will be shared.

The Jazz's outside defense was too hard, and the Rockets' five players on the court were all capable of shooting three-pointers.

With four minutes left in the game, the Rockets led by 22 points at 92-70, with occasional applause from the home fans and some disappointed fans starting to leave the game early. Seeing that the tide was turning, Sloan finally gave up his resistance. Replaced with a group of substitutes such as Jason Hart, Ronnie Price, Girisek, Matt Harpling, etc.

Before the game, no one would have thought that the Jazz, who are known for their toughness at home, would surrender their guns in shame.

When Hayes was substituted, he received applause from many Jazz fans in the stands. The fans' actions made Hayes both proud and moved.

The game went into garbage time.

The Jazz didn't get cheap in garbage time, the Rockets bench knew the head coach's last name, Jeff Van Gundy rarely gave the bench a chance, and they did their best in garbage time to prove themselves.

At the end of the game, the Rockets beat the Jazz by 27 points 107-80 and got off to a good start on the road.

The Jazz endured their worst, darkest home opener in 10 years.

After the game, the best player of the game will be discussed and selected by the on-site technical personnel, and the data of the main players of the two sides will be compared as follows.

Boozer, Jazz, played 37 minutes, shot 11-of-21 from the field, 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, and finished with 27 points, 16 rebounds and 2 assists.

Oku played 30 minutes and finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks on 6-of-12 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.

Deron Williams played 35 minutes and finished with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals on 8-of-15 shooting, 1-of-5 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws.

The Jazz's three main players put up decent numbers, but some of them came against the Rockets' bench.

Yao Ming of the Rockets played 28 minutes, shooting 7-of-10 from the field and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, with 21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Maddy played 30 minutes and finished with 22 points, four rebounds and four assists on 8-of-18 shooting, 2-of-6 three-pointers and 4-of-6 free throws.

Chuck Hayes played 37 minutes and shot 7-of-10 from the field, 2-of-3 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line for 20 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal.

Hayes, who was regarded as an absolute "blue collar" before the game, scored a quasi-triple-double, and it was even more rare that there was no mistake.

A close-up of Hayes appeared on the big screen, with the match superintendent announcing: "Chuck Hayes has been named the best player of the game. ”

Hayes was flattered and attended a press conference after the game at Jeff Van Gundy's strong request.

Coach Jeff Van Gundy and Sloan first summarized the game and then reporters began to ask questions individually.

One reporter asked, "Coach Van Gundy, do you have anything to say about Chuck Hayes' amazing play today?" Live commentators described him as a soul possession. ”

Jeff Van Gundy pretended to be surprised, looked at Hayes, and smiled: "I'm so surprised about this question. I brought him here to ask him. Hey, don't you know how to shoot? What the hell is going on today? ”

There was a burst of laughter in the stadium, and another reporter asked, "I see that every time Mr. Hayes shoots a goal, you are the one who is the most excited and applauds the longest." It's rumored that the two of you have a good personal relationship, is that one reason why you use him as a starter? ”

Jeff Van Gundy laughed: "Like you said, we really have a good relationship, Chuck is my lucky star, he is like my little brother. He plays the starting line-up because of his strength, and it has nothing to do with our relationship. I was impressed by the seriousness with which he took the game and how hard he trained, he was one of the best players I've ever brought and I'm very proud of the progress he made today. ”

At first, Hayes was still a little nervous when he faced the camera, and gradually let go as the reporter kept asking questions.

Having asked Jeff Van Gundy, reporters started asking Hayes: "Mr. Hayes, you entered the NBA as a non-rookie last season with a non-guaranteed contract. Summer League, preseason you got recognition on the defensive side but you didn't show a lot of talent on the offensive side, and today you played perfectly on the offensive end, how did you make such a huge improvement in such a short period of time? ”

Hayes replied solemnly, "It's easy. I do a lot of shooting drills every day, and I spend most of my time in training except for eating and sleeping. I have to thank my teammates, they taught me a lot. It allowed me to grow very quickly in the offensive side, especially thanks to the coach for believing in me. ”

The reporter asked, "Excuse me, what are the goals of the Houston Rockets for the new season?" What are your goals? ”

"The Houston Rockets' goal is to win the next game. My goal is to give my best and play every game. Hayes laughed. This is the line he negotiated with Jeff Van Gundy, keep it low-key and don't go too far to the goal. 、

The reporter asked, "Mr. Hayes, how do you feel about breaking your career scoring record today?" ”

Hayes thought for a moment and said with a smile: "My impression is that I hope to break the record again." ”

The press conference ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

The next day, the Rockets players who returned to Houston were treated like heroes, and the coaching staff announced a day off for the entire team.

The day's game was dominated by the best five Rockets accounted for three. The best goal was "Street Ball King Drifting Pass, Hayes Bursting with Both Hands." Journey through the soul of the fans! ”

Various Houston media outlets have made sports headlines about the Rockets vs. Jazz game.

Chuck Hayes made a name for himself in a fight.

――――――――――― Split ―――――――――――――――

In the first game, Hai Ye was tortured by Boozer, but he was named the best player. Why? Because victory is all that matters.

There are friends in the book review area who always like to find shortcomings for Hai Ye, who is too short in height, imperfect in technology, difficult to get ahead in the rocket, wants Hai Ye to change his position, becomes a swing person, wants to trade rockets, wants Hai Ye to change teams, etc......

Could it be that Hai Ye is perfect if he changes his position? Is it more valuable to change teams?

The reality is that it is impossible for Hai Ye to be perfect in any position.

Artest is a heavy swingman, do friends think he is strong? The strongest small forward is definitely LeBron James, but even LeBron has shortcomings.

As for defense, not to mention, this is the NBA, the strongest place in the world. It is absolutely impossible for Hai Ye to prevent everyone, and it is definitely not people who can prevent everyone. It is said that Joe's gang leader is a god, and his defense is invincible, you let him go to defend against O'Neal, and Olajuwon try? The ending is definitely blown into slag.

In this novel, Hai Ye is a human being, and he is and will be. He can only improve himself when it makes sense.

I don't even understand what my friends mean when they say "coming out", being the "boss" of a weak team, desperately brushing the data is the way to come out? Look at today's "Divine Beast" Griffin and "New Wolf King" Kevin Love, they are fierce enough, right? How many of them voted for the All-Star Game? In the 2007-2008 season, Garnett went to the Celtics to form the Big Three, and he had a bad brain? Don't want to come out of the way?

There were also trades and team changes, which left me speechless. Could it be that because he can't trade a bunch of famous stars to the Rockets who slam the door, Hai Ye has to leave the team?

I can tell my friends with certainty that it is absolutely impossible for Hai Ye to leave the rocket, at least not in the first year. Trade a 660,000 All-Star, who can you get back? Or in exchange for what? If the Rockets do this, their general manager is Forrest Gump, right?

The rabbit came to mow the grass and couldn't help but spit out another groove here.

Hehe, thank you again for your support! Ask for recommendations! Collection!

Preview of the next episode: Hai Ye will quickly take the position on the rocket. Maddie is very cooperative to give up his position as the boss, Span Nollis's fate in the NBA is about to be changed, what will happen to the three of them during the holidays?

Stay tuned.;
