In the 2006-2007 season, the Rockets had a team-best 70 wins, and at the time it was thought that the biggest credit was Maddy's unsolvable offense, Yao Ming's low-post singles and strategy. Now experts have unanimously changed their tune, believing that the main reason for the Rockets' 70-game win is Hayes.

Hayes leaves the rocket, which crashes immediately; When Hayes arrives at the Bobcat, the Bobcat immediately becomes a strong man; Durant was a parallel commodity with the Trail Blazers, and became an All-Star by the Bobcats; Some people say that Hayes' triple-double stats are brushed up, but the Bobcats have the best record in NBA regular season history. By all indications, Hayes is really strong.

After the Bobcats swept the Magic 4-0, reporters interviewed TN*T commentator Charles Barkley. "Mr. Barkley, you are good friends with Jordan and Hayes, can you comment on the two of them? Which of them do you think is stronger? ”

"I've heard this question many times. I can't answer. They are fundamentally two types of players. Speaking of offense, when Michael was at his peak, no one dared to say that they could defend against him. But look at the way Chuck plays...... The benches in the opposing camp all felt like they might be able to limit him to less than 10 points. Barkley laughed, "But as soon as I got on the court, the idea immediately became, 'Huh? Why didn't I cover him again? ''How did he get to Kongdang?'' ’”

The reporters took a look at Barkley's words and seemed to be the case. Another person asked, "So do you think Hayes is the best power forward in the league right now?" ”

'I'm sure he's the best player in the squad but I don't know where he is. Speaking of Michael, everyone knows that he is the strongest scoring guard, but what Chuck is playing is too difficult to determine, it depends on who the opponent is. In the last series against the 76ers, he was indeed a power forward, but in this series he is more like a small forward or even a scoring guard, in short, he can win. Barkley sighed and said, "I'm a little sad for Dwight (Howard), he's a lot like Patrick (Ewing) back then, and if it weren't for Jordan, the Knicks would have won at least one championship." And LeBron, Devin...... Their fate may be like that of Karl (Malone) and Reggie (Miller), who will have a hard time winning the championship. ”

The reporter asked again: "Then what do you think of Kobe Bryant and Hayes?" Experts believe that the Bobcats and Lakers are most likely to meet in the Finals this year. ”

"The two of them don't have to compare anymore. The whole world knows who is stronger. If anyone says Kobe is stronger, he must not understand basketball. However, the overall strength of the Lakers is not inferior to the Bobcats, and it is incredible that they can put together the current lineup. Presumably the other teams want to be the Lakers. Chuck is going to have to beat them all if he wants to reach Jordan's heights. Barkley laughed.

Behind Jordan's fame back then, there was a tireless destruction of people, and the tragic characters who fell at his feet could be listed by all-stars alone, not to mention those shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

One will be a success! Malone and Stockton retired empty-handed; Reggie Miller is known as a first-generation shooter, and in the end it is also difficult to pay for his ambition; Patrick Ewing has been a supporting role for Jordan throughout his career...... It can be said that their fate is all due to Jordan, and Jordan is the only romantic character.

Now it's been discovered that the league has another Jordan-esque figure on the horizon. He doesn't play as floaty as Jordan, and scoring isn't as crazy as Jordan, but the scary thing is that he's going to win more than Jordan. That's Hayes!

"Warcraft" Howard was swept by the Bobcats in both the regular season and the playoffs, and he has lost his temper. James' Cavaliers can't beat the Hawks, which is also related to the team's lack of confidence. During the game, the Cavaliers players couldn't help but have this thought, even if they win the Hawks, what will happen? Can you beat the bobcat? The Grand Final is just a luxury.

Prompted by such a mentality, the Cavaliers also played with little spirit in Game 5, and did not look like they wanted to advance at all. James scored a triple-double of 21 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists under the tight defense of Josh Smith and Marvin Williams, but his teammates did not give it a hard time, and he still lost 89-102 on the road.

The second round between the Bobcats and the Magic began in Game 6, the latest of all series, but it was the fastest to decide the winner. The Hawks used five games to settle the battle and meet the Bobcats in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Western Lakers didn't let the game have too much suspense either, and settled the Timberwolves cleanly 4-1. In this series, Gasol and Garnett are evenly matched. Garnett allowed Gasol to average only 8 rebounds per game, and Gasol made Garnett's defense only rely on jump shots, and the shooting percentage was reduced to 43%, which is more like a small forward's shooting rate, which is too low for Garnett. Hamilton is a good All-Star, but not as good as superstar Kobe. It was hard to play on both ends of the floor. Veteran James Posey was very successful defending Kobe Bryant last season, but he was injured in the middle of the season and has not been able to regain his form since his return.

It's just that Gasol and Kobe Bryant can already compete with the Timberwolves. Compared with other players, Caron Butler beat veteran Grant Hill. Veteran McDyce can't keep up with young Bynum either. The Lakers' weakest position is point guard, but unfortunately the Timberwolves' position is also a weak link, and the veteran Fisher is used to seeing big scenes, and his play at critical moments is better than Jarridge. The Timberwolves' only win was by just four points. It was the bench player Afflalo's long play, and in that game Afflaro came off the bench for 23 minutes, scoring 24 points, scoring more than Hamilton who started.

On the other side, the Spurs and Hornets battled for Game 5. After all, the Spurs are a team dominated by veterans, and the pace of offense and defense is relatively slow. The Hornets' fast break was very resolute. As a result, the Hornets relied on Paul's excellent play to win the key game 115-98, leading 3-2 to get the match point.

Paul had 34 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals. Parker had the best season of his career, but he couldn't stop Paul.

Previously, the Spurs were one of the best defensive teams in the league, conceding under 95 points per game. This season, they have conceded an average of 98.8 points per game. In this series against the Hornets, the number of points conceded reached 108. It's clear that the Spurs have lost the defense they relied on to survive.

If they fight with the Hornets to attack, the Spurs can't win.

On the 16th, the two sides decided the winner. The Hornets beat the Spurs 107-102 on their home court to advance to the Western Conference Finals against the mighty Lakers.

During this time, Hayes stayed at home with Gao Tongxuan and the child every day, did not practice shooting, but just rested. At this point in the season, extra training won't have any effect. The Bobcats also had less training.

Michael Jackson is back in Charlotte. Because of Hayes and Jordan, he set the venue for the concert rehearsal in Charlotte. And found a special coach to help recover his strength.

Jackson and Jordan occasionally visited Hayes' home. Jackson also accepted Hayes's two sons, Erwin and Logan, as adopted sons, saying that he would bring them into the entertainment industry as child stars in the future. Jackson's connections, it's a no-brainer.

Jackton was especially fond of these two children. Hayes didn't think in the direction of pedophilia, and after spending a few times with Jackson, he could be sure that Jackson was a sincere and kind person. The reason why he likes children should be related to the fact that he has no biological heirs. None of Jackson's three children were born to him and his wife, but were found to be surrogacious. So all three children are white and mixed-race. As for who the child's biological parents are, it has always been a mystery.

Jordan chatted with Hayes for a while and said with a smile: "You have so much money now, have you ever considered changing to a bigger house?" ”

"No, I already feel big about the house now. If my wife and I are the only ones who live together, I would find it troublesome if the place is too big to clean and I have too many housekeepers. Hayes shook his head.

Jordan has his own mansion in Chicago, which can be described as extremely luxurious, and the main body of the building is divided into a master villa, a guest villa and a butler villa that can accommodate nearly 20 people. Indoor entertainment facilities include a 7.1-channel luxury cinema, bowling alley, heated whirlpool and heated wine cellar. In addition to the standard swimming pool, standard tennis court, basketball court and other facilities in the private garden, there is also a small golf course because Jordan loves to play golf. If on foot, it takes more than 10 minutes to reach the living room of the villa from the gate of Jordan's mansion.

That's a park at all. Hayes had been to Jordan's estate once, and if no one led the way, he would have gotten lost, and the mansion that Jordan built himself was worth as much as $35 million. Now the economic crisis and the house is cheaper. Hayes's current assets, building a similar estate would have been a breeze.

In Charlotte, Jordan also has two houses, one of which is only used to store clothes, and the luxury is extreme.

Jackson's mansion "Neverland" in California, USA, is even more exaggerated. Spread over an area of approximately 3,000 acres, the estate employed 70 people at its peak. The estate features a private sports field, playground, artificial lake, cinema and even a zoo, and the materials used in the design and construction are extravagant. It is reported that Jackson spent $17 million on the purchase, while a U.S. news program estimated in 2004 that it was worth about $120 million.

In the estate's heyday, Jackson invited many children to his estate to play, such as camping with children (mostly boys, allegedly) and long phone chats with children. In 2003, Jackson was accused of child molestation, and for this, the police searched the estate. He has barely lived here since. He had just sold the estate last year.

Sometimes it's not a good thing if the house is too big. But the annual maintenance fee can be in the millions. Hayes doesn't want to complicate it, he's probably the most low-key of the NBA stars.

"Chuck, if the Bobcats can win the championship this season and you win two championships in three years, the evaluation will definitely be at the top, I didn't expect you to surpass me so quickly." Jordan sighed.

"I'm not outclassing you, I'm just outclassing everyone on active duty. I haven't fought against you at your peak. Hayes laughed.

Hayes didn't dare to be arrogant, his offensive ability was incomparable to Jordan's, and after playing for two years, he didn't succeed in making a dunk in the air, and could only pass the ball to his teammates. The route he took was to cooperate with his teammates to the greatest extent and gather the strength of the whole team, while Jordan was invincible on his own.

"How many fights do you think you're going to have to fight against the Eagles?" Jordan asked.

Hayes was expressionless and said two words - "Sweep!" ”
