Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Legend of the Rookie Race

"Hayes was back on the field, and the sophomore substitution went along with the fans. The current lineup is, Chris Paul, Monta Ellis, Bynum, Granger, I don't know how Hayes will play next. He should be in the power forward position now. Retired star Chris Webb, who made a guest appearance as a commentator, said.

Webb was joined by a cameo commentator on famous pitcher Steve Kerr. Kerr laughed: "I hope Hayes still shoots threes from the outside, he was too accurate today." ”

The first-year team switched to Gabajosa as center, and Bagnani switched to the power forward position, opposite Hayes. On offense, Bagnani hit an easy three-pointer from the outside.

Hayes is still the old way, putting the person opposite him to shoot as much as he wants, causing the opponent not to take the defense seriously, and the "cooperation" between him and Guy just now is very good, and both of them have a lot of performance opportunities. However, now that the counterpoint had become Bagnani, he found that this method was no longer working.

Bagnani defended very hard. The Raptors have not met the Rockets this season, and Bagnani has not personally experienced Hayes's violent play, he has seen Hayes shoot from the outside, but he only thinks that Guy is too bad to prevent it, and wants to prove himself by limiting Hayes.

Hayes wanted to keep shooting threes, but now that his shot was blocked, he immediately passed the ball out. Bagnani was smug and felt that his defense was working.

Hayes went inside and asked for the ball on the 3-second line. Bagnani fought behind him. Paul saw that Hayes was in a position and immediately put the ball in high motion.

There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to break in to hell. Originally, I wanted to brush the data with you soft eggs, but since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you. Hayes held back his strength and played a bulldozer-like approach to Bagnani. Three arches open the defense, and turning to the basket is a two-handed dunk!

Webb exclaimed, "Hayes seems to want the new champion to know what an inside player is, and he plays the game as if it were a regular season." This kind of ass work, almost all the inside lines of the league feel a headache. Garnett and Nowitzki have both publicly expressed their discomfort at being topped, and I don't know how Bagnani feels. ”

Bagnani's impression is that I want to return one.

Both sides were sloppy defensively in those minutes. Offensively, Bagnani was also relaxed, taking the ball from beyond the three-point line, and as soon as he turned around, Hayes slapped the ball down. The two men lowered their bodies at the same time to grab the ball, Bagnani was knocked to the ground, and Hayes picked up the basketball and was about to pass it to his teammates when the referee's whistle blew.

The crowd erupted in boos, and the referee smiled and shook his head.

Hayes handed over the basketball with an innocent look and smiled, "Haha." I didn't foul him, he was too weak. ”

His voice was so loud that Bagnani could hear it clearly, and his body trembled.

Bagnani is really a soft egg. Two rounds later, Hayes once again played the ball inside and Bagnani opted for a foul, but to no avail. Hayes made a jumper and added a free throw.

After Hayes hit a successful three-pointer, the sophomore already had an 11-point lead.

The first-year team requested a substitution, with Millsap coming on for Bagnani.

Millsap came on the court and exchanged colours with Hayes, which meant "you can shoot as much as you want".

Hayes was not polite either, and went back to the outside and put up a three-pointer. Like Gay, Millsap defended every time, but was half a beat slow each time, and Hayes hit five more three-pointers.

With one minute left in the first half, Hayes was substituted and the fans gave him a standing ovation.

Webb said: "Hayes has broken the record! The previous highest individual score in a rookie game was set by Stadamire in 2004, when he scored 36 points. Hayes had already scored 42 points in the first half alone. And he also broke the rookie three-point record with 11-of-16 shooting. If he continues to play in the second half, that record will be improved and I don't think anyone will be able to break it for a long time. It's crazy! ”

Kerr laughed: "I also hope that Hayes will continue to play in the second half and then he will do a miracle. It depends on how the sophomore coach arranges, and I don't think it's necessary to save energy for the All-Star Game or something. Hayes is only participating in the All-Star Game for the first time, and if he wants to compete with the players who have played many All-Star games, he might as well put on a good show at the rookie game. ”

After Hayes went off, Olivern asked, "Say when you want to play again." Now you don't have to plan the tactics for me, and they'll be happy to pass the ball to you. ”

"Thank you. I wanted to play the whole second half. Hayes laughed.

Both sides have been in a state of non-defense, not just against Hayes, but also against others. Hayes was addicted.

Unlike normal NBA games, the Rookie Challenge has only two halves, each of which lasts 20 minutes. Hayes had been rested for more than five minutes in the first half, and even if he played the second half, it would be less than 35 minutes.

"Okay, you just stay on the pitch for the second half. I also want to see how many points you can score in the end. Oliver laughed.

In a basketball game, if a scorer throws a smooth shot and wants to stop him, the way is actually very simple, that is, foul, a fierce foul, so as to disrupt the player's hand. In official NBA games, super scorers can sometimes score 40 or even 50 points in the first half, but it is difficult to score more than 60 points in the whole game, because NBA teams are good at disrupting the opponent's hand with vicious fouls.

Hayes is good at that. When the opponent's pitcher was in amazing shape, he rushed up and slapped him hard, fouled the opponent and sent the opponent up to two free throws, and two plus one was only 3 points. But his slap was firm enough to put the pressure on the opponent when he shot next.

In this game, no one would foul like that. That way, the first-year team couldn't interrupt Hayes' shooting touch.

When Hayes came back into the second half, the crowd cheered.

Just after playing the first half, Hayes is already a well-deserved MVP.

In fact, before the game started, Hayes was doomed to be invincible. The first-year interior is full of players with a soft style of play, and there is only one player who can compete with Hayes in terms of strength, and that is Millsap. Millsap is an "undercover" rocket agent.

If you can't prevent it, the first-year coach won't set up a bag or a combination of tactics to deal with Hayes. If he did that, he would definitely be booed to death by the fans. Americans are particularly fond of individual heroism, and Hayes is a well-deserved hero today, and now even many first-year players want to see Hayes break the record.

In this case, both sides of the game have silently reached a consensus that they will perform and score as much as they want.

The right time, place and people. In the first half, the two teams played an ultra-high score of 88-79, and the sophomore shooting rate was as high as 74%.

In the second half, the performances of both teams were even more exciting. The most active people on the first-year team were Guy and Roy because they had the prettiest dunks. Azubuke and Morrison have also had their fair share of opportunities. Gabajosa, Bagnani, who can't perform, were all pressed to the bench.

The sophomores are happy to pass the ball to Hayes and be willing to be green leaves.

They don't want to be green leaves, and if Hayes runs out of the open space and the ball doesn't reach him, the crowd won't applaud when they don't see it; If the ball doesn't go in, the result of wasting Hayes' offensive opportunity is a boo! Anyone with a bit of a brain would choose to pass the ball to Hayes. Hayes' performance grabbed everyone's attention and dominated the game.

Hayes doesn't want to pass the ball, doesn't want his teammates, doesn't want to grab rebounds, just stands in his most accurate position and waits for his teammates to pass the ball to him and shoot.

It's a cool feeling to not have a defense. Hayes had never tried to play like this before, and he was in great shape and felt like he could shoot anything. At first, he silently counted how many goals he scored, but then he didn't bother to count.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was delicate, and cheers could be heard every time Hayes made a shot. As long as he doesn't make a shot, you can hear someone sighing, and he has already swayed the mood of the audience. Everything was in his hands and Hayes felt that on the field today, he was like a god.

Perhaps, this is how Jordan felt back then!

Hayes thinks it's a joke to conserve stamina, but doesn't such a defensive game take a lot of stamina? He just runs, shoots, and usually practices shooting more than that. This kind of game is even if it takes three hours. He doesn't get tired either.

Coach Oliver kept his promise and kept Hayes on the pitch for the second half. At first, people just cheered, and later, whenever Hayes hit, they not only cheered, but also counted the three-pointers together.

21! 22! 23……

With three minutes left in the second half, Yao Ming and Maddie were stunned, Garnett and Iverson were stunned, and Taylor Swift and Gao Tongxuan were stunned. Jordan and Van Gundy stood on the sidelines together and jumped and jumped! The audience was going crazy.

As soon as the sophomore attacked, the whole audience shouted "Hayes!" "When they attack in the first grade, they have to be fast, and if they dare to slow down and don't shoot for 10 seconds, the whole audience is booed.

People waited again to witness the miracle.

With 48 seconds left in the game, Hayes hit a three-pointer from the middle to make it 158-124.

The referee blew the whistle, and everyone present stood up and applauded together. The tournament is officially suspended!

Hayes shot so hard that he had long forgotten about the score.

"Why is this time called a pause?" Hayes laughed when he got off the court.

"Chuck, didn't you count how many goals you scored? You've broken the record! David Lee yelled and gave Hayes a hard hug,

"Isn't that normal?" Hayes knew he must have broken the record, and no less.

"Is 101 considered normal? You lunatic! David Lee exclaimed.

101 points? Hayes was also frightened.
