Hornets attack. This time, the person who blocked Paul was Chandler.

Paul broke down the right and Hayes let go of Chandler and caught up with Paul in two steps.

Chandler couldn't have scored in that position, but why did Paul slow down? Hayes caught up with ease and wondered that Paul could have gotten rid of him, as had happened many times. 'Is it out of energy?' Or did he deliberately let me catch up and try to get me a sixth foul? ’

Hayes had a chance to block, but he backed up at the last minute to avoid it. At this time, the team needs him offensively, he can't take risks, and if he is fouled at this point, everything is over.

Paul made a layup and looked at Hayes after landing with regret and a thumbs up in his eyes. Paul smiled and said, "I don't believe you hide every time." ”

'Sure enough, they want to make me foul.' When Hayes heard Paul say this, he was convinced of his judgment. He threw two punches into the air and sneered, "Of course I won't hide every time." You should be careful, I'm afraid I'll kill you with your little physique. ”

Paul was stunned, he wanted to put pressure on Hayes, but now he began to hesitate. This is a naked threat! In the end, do you need to strengthen the breakthrough to create fouls? If this guy is real, the last foul will ask him to exchange it for a serious injury, it will be too much of a loss. Paul is already the core of the Hornets, and no team's core players are not afraid of injury.

The margin widened to 10 points.

"Running back." Sending the baseline ball, Alston said to Hayes.

On the offensive end, the Rockets played a pick-and-roll match, Hayes ran back to catch the ball, and West bypassed Battier to chase Heyes.

'Paul, thank you for reminding me. I use a small lean every time, and this time it's time for a change. Hayes watched West's position with the rest of his eyes, turned and paused to catch the ball, deliberately allowing West to catch up.

Then, Hayes jumped forward with all his might, and West just jumped forward to block it, and the two collided in the air. Hayes pushed West past and pushed the ball out before hitting the ground. This time, he was obviously favored by God, and the basketball smashed the hoop and bounced very high, and it actually went straight up and down, and the ghost made him fall into the frame like a god.

The referee's whistle blew too. 3 plus 1 free throws!

At 2:39, Hayes walked to the free throw line amid the boos of the fans in the court, and made a steady free throw under the interference of glow sticks, and scored four points.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Rockets replaced Hyde and replaced Azubuke.

The home fans kept chanting for West, hoping that the Hornets' scoring champion would hit back Hayes.

"Chuck, you don't care about it after Paul breaks through, leave it to me." Azubuuk said to Hayes on his way back to the defence.

"Okay."

Paul slowly took the ball across the half court and continued to control the situation on the field. Chandler was still fed by Hayes outside the box, Paul broke through, Azubuuk defended it, and in this way, he let go of Mason, which was a gambling supplement.

Mason receives a pass from Paul and shoots from the outside.

"Rebounds." Battier shouted.

Mason's three-point shot is very bad, even if it is empty, it may not be able to shoot, not to mention that Battier has interfered a little in the past.

Mason's shot was missed, Hayes squeezed Chandler to flick the rebound out with one hand, and Azubuuk received the ball and handed it to Maddie. Maddy strode across the halfcourt, passed Stojakovic in disguise, ignored Paul, and scored on the basketball.

At 2 minutes and 14 seconds, 84-88, the Rockets played an offensive **, chasing the difference from a maximum of 16 to only 4 points.

'Where did that base-paid guy come from?' 198cm can actually have the upper hand in the confrontation with West, and Chandler, who can defend as a center, can't get into the three-second zone. Why is it so hard to make him a foul again? Byron Scott is starting to get a headache for Hayes. Hayes stands out on both ends of the floor and always looks unfazed. 'It doesn't seem like he's hot at the moment, this guy has a lot of brains when he plays......

It wasn't hot, but in two minutes, Byron Scott's back was sweating through his shirt. It was a cold sweat, and he couldn't keep his cool and asked for a timeout again.

"What are you doing? Don't want to win, do you? That Hayes is only 198cm, 198cm! You can't stop it! Byron Scott yelled at Chandler and West, and after yelling, said, "Gotta defend well, don't let them play fast breaks." Chris (Paul) helped defend when Hayes received the ball, and he had to be treated like a Maddie player. ”

Team Rocket is also talking about strategy.

"The next ball must be guarded. They're probably still relying on Paul and West's pick-and-roll, Sean (Battier), you follow West. Corunna (Azubuuk) should also be aware that the two of you are always on guard for Paul. There's still plenty of time, Chuck keeps attacking, and we can turn the game around! Jeff Van Gundy said excitedly.

Van Gundy didn't expect the Rockets to succeed in recovering the score so quickly. Sure enough, Hayes was right, and it was right not to abandon or give up. (Hai Ye Assault?) ）

Hayes didn't expect to be so fierce in the past two minutes, and the difficult shot was also scored. This is definitely a super long play, and the character explodes.

The game resumes.

The Hornets continued to control the tempo, and Paul dribbled past Alston and hit a pull-up jumper, which played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.

Alston isn't a good point guard, but it's not because of the lack of assists, it's because of his defense. The point guard is the first barrier to defense, but Alston is often the sieve on the defensive end.

The Hornets returned quickly, the Rockets stabilized their rhythm, and Hayes went inside to ask for the ball. In the face of West's defense, he was thinking about how to play, and just after dribbling, Paul suddenly came around from West's body and slapped the basketball in Hayes's hand.

Hayes counter-attacked on the spot, but Paul moved too fast and left him behind in one step. At the critical moment, the steal was successful!

Some fans excitedly stood up and cheered for their "Queen Bee".

Paul passes the ball to Mason, the Hornets play a fast break, and Mason scores on a dunk.

"The score is open again." Paul chuckled as he passed Hayes.

At this time, being stealed is more demoralizing than shooting "iron".

With 1:44 to 84, the Rockets trailed by another eight points. Jeff Van Gundy asked for a timeout.

The game has entered a white-hot stage, and every tactical adaptation and arrangement must be carefully prepared, and any mistake may cause the entire game to be wasted. Hayes was stealed.

Listening to the almost frantic cheers of the Hornets home fans, Hayes really wanted to give himself two slaps in the face.

The thought of Paul's contemptuous smile almost drove him mad.

The score is pulling apart again?

Is it because of my mistake this time, we can't catch up? Are the Rockets going to lose?

Hayes's eyebrows were upset, his teeth were clenched, his fists clenched. He turned his head to look in the direction of the wasp, his eyes shining with a frenzy.

Are you kidding. There's still more than a minute, Wasp, I'm going to keep you from eating and walking!

Seeing Hayes' expression, Jeff Van Gundy was a little stunned.

Van Gundy has always felt that Hayes's surname is honest and honest, and that is just the surface. Now, he clearly saw the other side of Hayes, the arrogance and ruthlessness hidden in his bones. How could an honest person be so murderous?

The hustle and bustle at the Hornets' home court has nothing to do with the Rockets, and in the Rockets' player zone, the atmosphere is exceptionally quiet. The players didn't say a word and listened carefully to Jeff Van Gundy's tactics.

Yao Ming played. Corunna (Azubuc) rest. Chuck, you go play small forward. In addition to attacking to score, we must also defend against them, and in the last minute or so, we all cheer up! Sean (Battier), you keep defending West, you have to protect Chuck and don't let him foul. "Jeff Van Gundy didn't blame Hayes and sent Yao Ming, who had a few minutes of rest.

The Rockets must defend it, and if the score is extended to double digits, the game can be "surrendered".

"Chuck, I believe in you, and you must believe in yourself too. Forget that ball, we still have a chance. Jeff Van Gundy said to Hayes alone.

Listening to Van Gundy's words, Hayes was very moved, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that Van Gundy supported him like a father.

When he came on the court, Maddie patted Hayes on the back and said in a deep voice: "Don't care about the ball just now, everyone will make mistakes." You play well, don't mess up the rhythm, attack boldly. ”

"Hmm. We're going to win!" Hayes replied. He was surprised to find that Maddie's attitude had changed. When he came to the rocket, it was the first time he saw Maddie's expression, and his eyes revealed incomparable determination.

Byron Scott didn't adjust his tactics, asking his players to continue to control the tempo and find a way to foul Hayes.

The rocket position attacked, and Hayes broke through to Yao Ming. Yao Ming singled Chandler and turned to the middle to hit a hook shot. 86 to 92.

1 minute and 26 seconds, Paul dribbled the ball, wasted 15 seconds, West blocked, Paul burst into the inside, rushed towards Hayes, Battier came up to make up for the defense, he was experienced, blocked the breakthrough route, raised his hands, and did not jump hard, just to put pressure on Paul, Paul threw and missed under interference.

Hayes struggled to win the rebound and passed to Alston, who handed it to Maddy, who didn't wait for Yao Ming to settle down, broke through Stojakovic with the ball into the restricted area, faced West, who was making up for the defense, and distributed the ball to Battier in time. Battier lived up to expectations and made a layup.

88 to 92.

At 1:08, the Rockets chased back to only 4 points.

It took Paul 17 seconds to pass the ball to West. West couldn't make an easy shot at Battier's interference and passed the ball back to Paul, this time Paul also panicked, he didn't see the time well, and passed to Stojakovic, Stojakovic received the ball and threw it, and the 24-second offensive time was still up.

The Rockets successfully blocked a 24-second offensive violation by the Hornets, but they didn't have much time left.

The Rockets attacked the position, Yao Ming blocked West inside, Hayes received the ball in the middle, Chandler changed the defense, Hayes did not pause at all, dribbled past Chandler, and shot in a sharp stop at the free throw line, and the ball hit again!

"It's Chuck Hayes again! This guy is crazy today! The wasp commentator shouted.

'Hell. How could he be so fast? Byron Scott was really going crazy, and in the fourth quarter, no one could stop Hayes in a one-on-one situation.

29.6 seconds, just two points away.

The Hornets called another timeout. Byron Scott suddenly regretted a little, and he realized that it was because of his request to control the tempo that the Rockets caught up. The Hornets were terrible, and Paul stalled, not only failed to be efficient, but also led the team into a positional offensive dead end, and everyone else watched Paul and West. This kind of rhythm is exactly what Team Rocket likes the most.

By this time, regret was useless, and Byron Scott laid out another pick-and-roll tactic to pin his hopes of victory on Paul. "Tyson (Chandler) blocks and dismantles, Yao Ming is slow and not easy to make up for defense; Chris (Paul) still broke through and tried to make fouls. If Battier comes up again, he can split the ball, find an open spot, or hit the point where Hayes is. Hayes must be afraid of fouls and dare not take it lightly! ”

Jeff Van Gundy didn't set up foul tactics, because even if the 24 seconds were gone, the Rockets could have an offensive opportunity. He kept emphasizing that the players should guard against their own people and change their guards in time when they encounter blocking. You can't lose it. If you defend it, you will have an advantage, and if you are scored, it will almost mean defeat.

The Hornets sent a sideline ball, and Paul held the ball firmly in his own hands under Alston's press, and the clock passed by the second.

The Hornets tried to pull out of the formation, especially with West running wide with Battier to keep him out of the way.

Paul had the ball until 17 seconds before Chandler stepped forward to block Alston. Paul broke through with the ball, and Hayes switched defenses to block Paul's rush route.

Paul was fast, much faster than him, and Hayes knew that. Once he is successfully breached, he will never have a chance to defend against Paul again. This ball is likely to decide the outcome of the game.

'Come on, I'm not going to let you pass. Hayes focused all his attention on Paul, sliding and moving.

With a high level of concentration, Paul's movements became unusually clear in Hayes's eyes. He can see the direction of movement of the opponent's center of gravity, the left side is a feint in disguise, the left foot suddenly kicks the ground, the center of gravity is to the right, and the right hand accelerates with the ball......

I practiced this trick in my previous life. A smile twinked at the corner of Hayes' mouth. Reach for the spot where Paul was about to dribble.

Paul's speed was fast, and Hayes's hands were equally fast.

Syllable! There was a crisp slap on the court - Hayes successfully slapped the basketball in Paul's hand!

"Run!" Hayes shouted, taking a step into the air and lunging towards the basketball that was about to fly off the sideline. He caught the basketball in the air, threw it to the front court with one hand, and hit the chair and fell to the ground!

Alston managed to catch the basketball, took two steps to the three-point line, and grabbed a three-point shot from a 60-degree angle on the right wing, and the ball hollowed into the net.

The Rockets bench was boiling, and Hayes slipped out from under the chairs of the home fans, and before he could rub his aching head, he joined in the cheers.

There were only 8.7 seconds left, 93-92. The Rockets overtook the score for the first time in the game!

The wasp commentator cried out in pain: "Oh my God! Hayes wants the ball but doesn't want to die...... The Rockets overtook the score in the final moments! ”

The Hornets home fans had different expressions and were all in the same sense of loss. No one wants to believe that Paul, the "queen bee" who played the best game in this game, would make a fatal mistake at the last moment and be stealed by Hayes.

The momentum of the Hornets was completely overwhelmed.

After calling a timeout, Byron Scott was speechless. He had mixed feelings, hating and admiring Hayes. He couldn't help but wonder, would anyone in his team dare to fly like that to save the ball? Paul is faster than Hayes, if he had saved the ball just now, would he have been ahead of Hayes? That would certainly be a different story.

8.7 seconds is enough time to complete an attack, but if you don't score, the Hornets will not be able to recover.

"Team doctor! …… Chuck, is your head okay? Jeff Van Gundy asked.

"It's okay, I've practiced iron head skills." Hayes was in a good mood when he saw the score overtake, rubbing the bag on his head and joking.

"What about your legs? The movement just now was not small. Mutombo asked again.

Hayes shook his whole body and said with a smile: "It's no problem at all, I have also practiced Vajra legs." Shaolin Kung Fu is so good......" (You should go play football!) ）

"Okay, it's okay. Defend against them. Be sure to guard against them! Don't foul. Everyone's going to keep up, especially Paul and West, and keep an eye out for Stojakovic's three-pointers! Jeff Van Gundy exclaimed. The advantage is already on their side.

It's time to pause. Byron Scott set up a troublesome pick-and-roll play, and finally got the basketball to Paul, who was heavily guarded, couldn't break through, and passed to Stojakovic. Seeing that there was no time, Stojakovic forced a jumper and successfully dodged Maddy's block......

Ford's Center, which had been noisy all night, was quiet for a moment, which made the sound of the basketball hitting the edge of the hoop very clear, and the ball did not go in!

Hayes watched the basketball bounce off the hoop and fly in his direction, he got stuck in position, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally managed to make a comeback!

However, Hayes was still a little early in his joy. Not much, just a few tenths of a second, and it was this tenths of a second of hesitation that created the nightmare of the Rockets tonight.

Tyson Chandler jumped up from behind Hayes with his excellent bounce and his fingers touched the basketball first......

The final whistle sounded, but the basketball changed the direction of its flight.

No! Don't! At this moment, Hayes was like a criminal waiting to be sentenced, praying silently.

The ball bumped into the basket, twice, three times, and slowly fell into the basket.

"No!" Hayes yelled!

The rocket team members were stunned, looking incredulous; The Hornets all rushed into the arena and surrounded Chandler, rejoicing as if they had won a championship. There is a stark contrast in the stadium, ice and fire.

The Rockets played a beautiful counterattack in the fourth quarter, and at the last moment, they were actually killed by Tyson Chandler, who couldn't attack, with a messy rebound!

Hayes stood under the basket and didn't say a word.

He began to feel tired, not only physically, but also in his heart.

At this time, Yao Ming and Maddie grabbed his shoulders from left to right.

Yao Ming said: "Victory or defeat is a soldier's business. ”

"We're just out of luck, don't care." Maddie sighed and said.

"The world is unpredictable!" Hayes spread his hands and said helplessly: "Alas, it seems that ...... I'm still too weak. ”

If I could have been a little taller, or bounced a little harder, even if my arm span had been a little longer, it probably wouldn't have ended like this. I have to work harder. Make up for these shortcomings. Hayes said to himself.

His teammates don't think he's weak.

"In the last few minutes, you've been in a good position. You still have potential, and the season is just getting started. For a few minutes, I thought you were a lot like Kobe. Maddie returned to her sleepy-eyed state and said lazily.

"Uh...... Brother Maizi, do you think of me like that? Hayes was stunned.

"I'm optimistic about you too, maybe...... You're going to be better than that guy who kissed the ass (Buckley) in the future. Yao Ming said with a smile.

This is the NBA, a place full of theatrical surnames. In his previous life, Hayes felt the most enjoyable to watch the lore on TV, but in reality it was really not a taste to be lore, just because he didn't protect a backcourt rebound, and the cooked duck flew, and he felt that he was responsible for the loss, but no one blamed him.

"You guys had a beautiful fight. Keep up the good work, it's just a pre-season. Jeff Van Gundy shouted encouragement to the crowd. The game was lost with a smile on his face, perhaps for the first time in Jeff Van Gundy's coaching career.

Hayes gave Jeff Van Gundy an apologetic smile.

'Chuck, what are you going to be like in the future?' I've never looked forward so much to a player. Maybe it's time for me to think about new tactics, new cores. Jeff Van Gundy didn't say much, and in his mind, Hayes was already a star.

He is never tireless and never gives up hope.

He doesn't bounce very well, but he does his best every time.

The most amazing thing is his size, why at the critical moment, almost everyone thinks that he has become taller than the other interior players?

Because he fought too hard.

He did his best, and basketball is not just basketball, it's more like his life.

93-94, the Rockets lost to the Hornets at the last minute, and the winning streak ended. The Hornets, who have been in the doldrums for several years, have risen strongly under the leadership of Chris Paul to make it three wins in a row.

Hayes had a great performance, scoring 13 points in the quarter. He played 35 minutes, shooting 10-of-21 from the field, 2-of-5 from three-point range, 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, and finished with 26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 2 steals.

Maddy played 36 minutes, shooting 5-of-19 from the field, 0-of-5 from three-point range, 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, 14 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, and scored a quasi-triple-double.

Yao Ming played 35 minutes, shooting 8-of-15 from the field and 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

In the post-match press conference, Jeff Van Gundy attributed the defeat to the lack of physical strength of the players in back-to-back games, and gave credit to the players' performance.

Tyson Chandler had eight points and 17 rebounds and became the biggest contributor to the Hornets. Chandler's stunner and Chris Paul's superstar performance of 23 points and 16 assists made the Rockets' entire effort useless.

The Rockets lost the game and won popularity. Their fighting spirit was unanimously recognized by the experts after the race.

Hayes broke out strongly and became the biggest "dark horse" among the players this season. His role is not only reflected in scoring, but also limits the opposing team's leading scorer David West to a certain extent. West, who was the Hornets' leading scorer, hit just six of his 19 shots and made just two free throws in the game. Barely finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and four turnovers. West's big deficit allowed the Rockets to maneuver with the Hornets until the last minute on 6-of-21 three-pointers from beyond the arc.

On the same day, Hayes scored five better shots, but this time, he unfortunately became the background - "The Rockets made a crazy four-minute comeback, and Chandler made a layup to seal the win!" ”

―――――――――――― Split ――――――――――――――

"The world is unpredictable!" -- Buddha seal.

Shot in zero seconds, it was the rocket that was killed by Chandler, I believe no readers will guess it. It's not that I want to abuse the master, Hai Ye has already begun to take the position with his own strength and tenacious style.

Ask for recommendation and collection! Please support Hayes!
