Chapter 101 [Shrek Fighting Shark]
The game continued, Arenas broke through and attracted Yao Ming to make up for the defense, handed the ball to O'Neal under the basket, and the "big shark" scored with both hands. 2 to 2.
Maddie transferred the ball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming turned and hit a jumper, this time his hand was very soft, and O'Neal couldn't help it. 4 to 2.
The Eastern offense still played the ball to O'Neal, who squeezed into the three-second zone to receive the ball, turned and half-hooked, and the ball went in again. 4 to 4. O'Neill smiled and waved to the audience to cheer more enthusiastically, as he seemed to regain his youth.
The west also played the ball to Yao Ming again, and Yao Ming turned and jumped and scored again. 6 to 4.
As soon as this game came up, it became a "Yao shark duel". Yao Ming relies on his height advantage, O'Neill relies on his body, the two have different styles, and no one can prevent the other.
The comparison of the starting lineups of the two sides is almost the same, the outside line is a super scorer, and the two coaches have invariably arranged a three-two joint defense.
The advantage of joint defense is that the players are more evenly distributed, the movement distance is close, it is easy to cooperate with each other, and it is also conducive to grabbing rebounds and launching fast breaks. The weakness is at the angle of 30-45 degrees, as well as under the basket.
Maddie and Hayes operate at 45-degree angles outside the three-point line on both sides, which attracts joint defenders, and as long as someone comes to defend, Yao Ming can get a chance to play alone, and Yao Ming's ability to play alone is trustworthy.
Interestingly, the situation of the Eastern stars is exactly the same, Wade and James will encounter help defense when they break through, so they choose O'Neal as the offensive point.
O'Neal once again received a point-and-shoot and scored an inside jumper to make it 6-6.
Garnett said to Hayes: "Chuck, you can switch places with me in a while, go inside to resist O'Neal, and Yao Fang Bosh will be easier." Disrupt their rhythm. ”
"Roger." Hayes said, running to receive a pass from Maddie and get around James with Garnett's pick-and-roll.
Bosh made up for the defense, Hayes jumped with both feet while dribbling, and jumped past Bosh in disguise, O'Neal made up for the defense, Hayes faked a real pass to Yao Ming, Yao Ming dunked the basketball with one hand, 8-6.
Yao Ming scored 6 points in a row and smiled very happily. When he returned to the defense, Hayes retreated into the interior line and said, "Brother Ming, change positions." I guard Shakel. ”
Yao Ming stared at Bosh without saying a word, and no one believed in Hayes's power more than him.
Hayes put O'Neal outside the three-second zone. This is the first time that the two are in a real alignment, both of them are strong, but Hayes is a circle smaller than O'Neill, and people who like Hayes are sweating for him, and more people are laughing. At that time, the 208cm Mourning defense O'Neal had a big gap in figure, and now Hayes is defending, in their opinion, it is simply a guard and a defensive center, giving points to the west.
O'Neal didn't think so, he couldn't get into the three-second zone a few times, and Hayes's bottom game was much more stable than Yao Ming's. Only then did he know that in addition to Ben Wallace in the league, there were also small players who could resist him with brute force. And Hayes is shorter than Wallace.
O'Neal is singles against Yao Ming, and if Hayes, who is the height of the defender, chooses to pass, O'Neill feels embarrassed. So although he was uncomfortable with the resistance, he still chose to turn to the middle and shoot with a hook hand, but under the interference of Hayes, the ball was missed.
Yao Ming took the backcourt rebound and immediately handed it to Kobe Bryant for a fast break. Bryant dribbled across the half court and handed it to Maddy, who in turn handed it to Garnett, who followed up. Garnett caught the ball and used his stunt, stepping back and stepping back to make a jumper, dodging Bosh block, and hitting two points steadily. 10 to 6.
"Pass me the ball! I'll clean up this kid. O'Neal yelled at Wade and Arenas, he was a little angry, and Hayes couldn't get along with him again in this game.
"Let's try it. If you want to get into the three-second zone, you have to put me down. Hayes said.
"Damn, why would my child like you? Nasty guys. O'Neill said as Arenas' pass arrived.
Hayes still used his body to resist O'Neal, this time O'Neal turned to the baseline to shoot, and he couldn't go to the basket, so he could only bet on the feel, the ball was out again, and Garnett protected the rebound.
O'Neill was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Hayes was also uncomfortable, and he couldn't breathe well from O'Neal's big ass arch. Although the current O'Neill is past his peak, the tonnage is there, not a joke.
The first time it was prevented was a coincidence, and the second time it was strength. "Big Shark" scored 6 points in a row in front of the 226cm giant Yao Ming, but he couldn't handle Hayes, who was 198cm tall. The audience was stunned, and many forgot to cheer and applaud.
The West played a delicate combination again, Hayes and Garnett continued to make off-ball blocks for teammates, and Bryant ran out of space and hit a three-point shot to make it 11-6.
The East gave up on O'Neill on this point. James broke through by blocking and disarming, Hayes was a little slower to make up the defense, and James rushed into the interior and scored a one-handed smash. 11 to 8.
Turning defense into offense, Hayes blocked Kobe Bryant again, Kobe Bryant broke through and attracted a double bag, passed the ball back to Hayes, Hayes faced Wade's defense, and scored a backward jumper. 13 to 8.
O'Neal's eyes lit up and he opened his hand to ask for the ball, but Wade had to pass the ball over again in order to save face for his teammates. O'Neill pressed his body lower this time and used all his strength, but no matter how low he was, he was still a big man, and Hayes bent his waist to 180cm, and his legs seemed to be stuck on the ground, and the two were now like two wrestlers competing with each other. O'Neal had a slight edge, but it wasn't enough to get him to the basket.
In the end, O'Neal could only shoot from the edge of the three-second zone, and Hayes couldn't cover him, but the ball didn't go in. Garnett took out the momentum of the rebounding king, took the rebound again, and hit the ground and passed to Kobe. Another good way to break the joint defense is to attack quickly when the opponent is not in position. Kobe Bryant handed it to Maddy in the frontcourt, and Maddy pulled it up from outside the three-point line and shot, and the ball hit again. 16 to 8.
The Eastern Stars did not have a good way to break the joint defense during this time, and the Western interior line had Yao Ming to control the basket, and Hayes to resist O'Neal. Bosh can only pull out and play with a small forward. He catches the ball in the high post and doesn't make a mid-range shot. O'Neal was upset by the card and pushed Hayes while grabbing a rebound, and was whistled for a foul.
The Western Stars attacked again, and Kobe Bryant relied on the off-ball block and ran out of the air. Hayes hit the ground and passed to Kobe, who got to the basket on the weak side and pulled the lever back to dunk.
18 to 8. With a 10-point lead in the West, Eddie Jondang called a timeout.
The Black Mamba, a beautiful and dangerous creature, can kill his opponent at the slightest opportunity, just like Kobe Bryant is now.
"Beautiful!"
"It's fastened!"
Hayes and Bryant got up and clapped their hands hard. When they are opponents, the two of them don't like each other, but when they become teammates, they both feel that each other is very reliable, which is very contradictory.
Kobe Bryant had to admit that Hayes was fierce defensively, could defend him and James on the perimeter, and could fight O'Neal on the inside, and he couldn't think of anyone else in the league with such a guy.
Hayes also had a new understanding of Kobe, and he began to feel that the world misunderstood Kobe. People always say that Kobe Bryant plays alone, has no teammates in his eyes, and doesn't pass the ball. But during this period of time, Kobe Bryant played very reasonably, teammates have a chance, they will definitely pass, and after he attracts the bag, teammates can also get a lot of opportunities. And as long as he is free or a dozen, Kobe's shooting percentage is very reliable. To say that the Lakers don't pass the ball, maybe it's really a teammate problem, who in the Lakers team can be trusted except for Odom? Odom also often became a blacksmith, and occasionally sent out embarrassing orbs......
Kobe Bryant is strong. His biggest problem is that people like to compare him to Jordan too much. In the shooting guard position, who can compare to Jordan? People are demanding too much of Kobe. If Kobe Bryant is one of the top five scoring guards in NBA history, no one will question it.
Ever since Hayes confronted O'Neal and the commentator bench, Reggie Miller's mouth hasn't stopped. Barkley, the loyal "Haimi", can only interject.
Reggie Miller said: "This is the most bombastic defense I've seen this season, with Hayes keeping O'Neal at bay three times. Ervin (Johnson), did you play center that hard in your rookie season? ”
"If it had been O'Neill against me at that time, I would have been finished. Hayes is unbelievably strong, Charles, I think he's stronger than you were when you were younger. "Magic" Johnson smiled: "And he has a good sense of passing, and he just gave Kobe Bryant the ball just right." It's just that he is a little stiff when he passes, and if he can practice well, he has potential. Hayes is definitely a guy who can play point guard. ”
"His physique playing point guard is a waste." Barkley laughed.
"I'm not asking him to play point guard, now it's popular to play playmaker like Odom and James, and Hayes can play better as a small forward on offense if he improves his passing. I'm going to talk to him after the game and give him some thoughts. Johnson said.
"If you're okay, just go and be an assistant coach for him. I've heard he's been practicing passing lately. Barkley suggested.
"yes, if you go and coach, maybe there's a superstar in the league. He's great now, if he can learn your passing...... I'm curious to see if there's another chance of someone like Robertson in the league right now. LeBron is well-rounded, but the rebounds are sad to 10. Chuck seems to be closer to a triple-double than he is. Kenny Smith also suggested.
"Hearing you say that, I want to see him develop too. Hayes is an interesting player. Reggie Miller laughed.
"I'm fine, just ask him after the game, maybe he doesn't want me to be an assistant coach yet." Johnson laughed. The whole world knew he had AIDS, and he thought Hayes might have taken care of it.
Johnson was overwhelmed. Hayes' passing has not improved, and it would be as happy as a doping to know that Johnson was going to teach him.
