The Rockets had to be forced to replace Yao Ming, Mutombo didn't play, and Maddy also went off and replaced Bunch Wells. The Rockets have changed their lineup, and it seems that they are going to play fast with the Suns. There is really no one to change on the inside, and Coach Van Gundy seems to be a little helpless, let's see what the Rockets' fast break can do with the Sun. The Sun commentator laughed.

Suns head coach Mike Anthony replaced Nash for Marcus Banks. In his opinion, Yao Ming left the court with three fouls, and no one could stop Stoudeyer's attack, and the Suns had a chance to win.

The game begins.

The Rockets attacked, Hayes blocked Spanoulis, who broke through from the right with the ball, and Marcus Banks bypassed Hayes to block Spanolys's breakaway route. Spanoulis passes the ball to Battier, who hits a jumper.

The Suns quickly sent out the baseline ball, and it was no longer possible to be ready to chase after one. The Rockets are no slower than them after adjusting their lineup, and they have returned to the defense in place.

Marcus Banks dribbled the ball to the front court and handed it to Stadameyer, who was running to catch the ball. The Suns' style of play is clear, and when Nash is not on the court, he plays inside. The Rockets' acceleration was based on giving up their height advantage, and the 208cm tall center Stadamire became the tallest man on the court.

Hayes was ready to defend with what he did best, pushing Stoudamire into the three-second zone. But without waiting for him to push, the other party ran away on his own.

Hayes pressed the center of his body very low, and at this time, Stadamire suddenly activated, and he naturally slowed down by half a beat.

Stoudeye received the ball at the free-throw line, turned and took two big steps, jumped up and scored with a one-handed dunk, his arm almost in the basket.

"I'm rubbing! Is this called that after surgery, the explosive power is not as good as before? What was it like in the past? Hayes couldn't do anything about that ferocious dunk. He is actually not low in jumping, but Stadamyer's quality is not human, he has participated in the slam dunk contest, and he can change hands under the crotch to dunk, this kind of vigorous dunk is Duncan's defense can only watch.

Hayes then gave Span Nollis a pick-and-roll, the Rockets' pick-and-roll was not easy to use today, Marcus Banks was a pass-like point guard, but he was physically good and his defense was much better than Nash's. And even if Spanoulis gets past it by blocking, Stodameyer's speed is enough to switch defenses.

Spanoolis passes the ball back to Hayes. Hayes received the ball high and with a slight lift of his arm, Stadamire jumped up. Not only did he jump, but he jumped with all his might, and he had a beautiful period of stagnation.

In this case, Hayes jumped, he just wanted to shake it for Maddie, but when he saw that the other party was rushing towards him with the momentum of Tarzan, he really had no choice but to sacrifice his team spirit and jump up. Caused a foul on Stoudamire. It's a pity that the shot was far away and didn't score.

Hayes hit one of two free throws and quickly returned to defense.

When Nash isn't on the floor, the Suns' offense will be lowered by a notch, from a team run to an individual single. Last season's "French Magician" Christian Dior suddenly had the idea that he could connect the whole team after Nash was off the court, but after signing a big contract, he was out of the picture.

Marcus Banks dribbled the ball across the half to Barbosa. As soon as Barbosa was lowered, he changed direction and dribbled past Hyde, who came off the bench, and made a layup.

Hyde's defense is terrible, the worst at the Rockets' shooting guard position.

Jeff van Gundy quickly replaced Azubuk, and although Azubuk was also faster than Barbossa, he was still very good defensively.

"Pass me the ball and I'll get Stadamire." Hayes sent a baseline kick and said to Spanolys.

Spanoulis nodded. Yao Ming and Maddie are not there, and Hayes is the boss.

Hayes asked for the ball at 45 degrees on the left, and Stodameyer was behind him, and he squeezed the ball with it, and Stodameyer could resist. Hayes flicked left, then turned right past Stadamire and slipped to the basket. As soon as his arm was raised, as expected, Stadamire jumped up again. Although he only slightly cocked his toes and would not be fouled, he lost his defensive position.

Hayes hit the time gap, took a small step forward, and hit a shot from the basket.

Stadamire didn't care and ran to the Rockets half-court offense.

Hayes changed his defensive strategy and followed Stadamyre, but his body was not close together.

Studamayre isn't a guy who likes to catch the ball and play low with his back, preferring to use explosiveness to start after receiving the ball, hit it head-on under the basket, or shoot it immediately after receiving the ball. He's athletic and can get the most out of his run-and-gun tactics, and once he falls into position, without Nash's passes, his attack is bound to weaken.

Stodameyer is not good at breaking through, so Hayes deliberately moves a little distance to lure him to break through.

Stadameyer also turned around and prepared to slip to the bottom line, and the intention had been completely recognized by Hayes.

He moves quickly, but he only has the basket in his eyes and neglects to protect the basketball. This is a manifestation of not knowing how to control the rhythm, once you make a move, you can't stop it, you have to do it to the end.

Hayes saw the opportunity, slapped the ball down, and then leaned down, picked up the basketball, and made a successful steal. Azubuike sped across the halfcourt, and Hayes threw a long ball with both hands to find Azubuuk, who squeezed Barbosa and scored in the basketball.

Barbossa's breakthrough was invincible, but the defense could only rely on steals, and his body suffered.

The Suns made a comeback and looked for Stadamyre again, and this time he opted to force a turnaround jumper. It's not the type of attack he's good at, and the shot is missed.

Hayes's purpose is very clear, that is, to prevent breakthroughs, keep Stodameyer away from the basket, if Stodameyer chooses to use his height advantage to shoot, then try to interfere as much as possible, and if he can't cover it, he will be resigned to fate, anyway, no matter how accurate the shot is, he will not be allowed to dunk under the basket.

Battier got the rebound, passed to Spanoolris, and the Rockets went on a fast break. Spann dribbled the ball to the front court to find Hayes, who picked up the ball from the outside. Studamayre stepped back inside as if he didn't know Hayes could shoot a three-pointer, and Hayes caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

The Rockets immediately retreated to their own half, making it impossible for the Suns to play fast.

After Yao Ming got off the court, the mobile surname of the Rocket's small lineup was no longer under the Suns, the Suns passed back and forth in the frontcourt, and every player touched the ball, and the Rockets players were all about the same size, and they also followed the change of defense after the blocking.

The Suns can only rely on the individual ability of the players to play alone. Marion took a shot from the ground up under Battier's close press, but the ball didn't go in.

Azubuike grabbed the rebound, and the Rockets quickly counterattacked.

After Nash went off the court, the offense of both teams was completely reversed. The rocket resolutely played fast, but the sun fell into a single position.

Hayes pulled to the outside to catch the ball, and this time Stoudamire defended it.

Hayes comes face to face with Stadamyer. He controlled the ball with his left hand, dummy to the left, causing Stoudamire to move to the left, then switching his center of gravity, jumping the ball from his left hand to his right hand, changing hands to dribble, shaking off Stoudamire and hitting a pull-up jump shot.

At 43-48, Hayes scored eight points in a row to lead the Rockets to just five points away.

At this time, there was an official timeout on the court, which just gave the Suns a chance to adjust.

An official timeout occurs when both sides do not call a timeout for a certain period of time, and when there is a dead ball, it is counted as an official timeout. The NBA is a commercial organization, and if it is not suspended, there will be no time to broadcast advertisements, and the advertising fee will not be obtained.

A short pause is a 20-second pause, which in some places is described as a TV commercial pause. Each team had one short timeout in each half,

In other words, if the short timeout in the first half is not called in the second half, it will be invalidated.

After the game, the Rockets high-fived Hayes one by one in celebration.

Even if Hayes can't defend the other party, he has absolute confidence and Stadameyer exploding each other. Stoudamire's weakness, like Nash's, is defense.

Even in the golden age of Stadamire, the defense was full of holes. Judging from the data, Stadam Meyer is a very dominant interior "little bully" no matter how you look at it, and Duncan can't prevent his offense. But can you say he's better than Duncan? In fact, although he is very explosive on the scoring end, his defense is very average, especially the defensive attitude can be described as "hanging boy". He's got great physical, he can defend but he doesn't have enough focus and he doesn't have enough defensive patience. He prefers to give the opponent a big hat after receiving the ball, rather than concentrating on the opponent's entanglement with the opponent.

In the Suns' bombardment system, the strong offensive firepower largely conceals the shortcomings of Stoudeyer's defense, but if you look at the statistics of Duncan and Garnett and Stoudeyer, you will be surprised to find that Stodameyer always likes to open the hole door to give opponents high scores. Later, Yi Jianlian landed in the NBA, and in his rookie season, he cut 15 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks on Stodameyre's head. ”

Yao Ming was plagued by fouls, Maddie was uncomfortable with Raja Bell, and in this case, Hayes had to step up.

"Well done, Chuck. You don't need to rest for a while, do you?" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"No, Stoudamire can't defend me, give me the ball." Hayes took a sip and smiled.

"Tracy, they're going to send Nash, you play point guard in a while, rush inside after the pick-and-roll, and if you don't have a chance to pass to Chuck again, the rest of the team will run." Jeff Van Gundy laid out the tactics briefly, Spanoulis was mediocre and he was ready to try to have Hayes and Maddy attack at the core.

The Suns adjusted, Nash came on the court, and Stoudamire stayed on the court. He had a break in the first quarter, so he didn't need to play yet.

Marion was substituted for a break.

The Rockets also replaced Battier with Novak, who was average defensively. Battier first blocked Dio very well, so that he did not score a point, and Marion, who defended again in the second quarter, did not score for a few minutes, and now he is very tired. Although Novak is a defensive black hole, he can still fight against Sean Marks, who is not good at offense by the Suns.

Hayes continued to play in the center position, opposite Stoudamire.

The Suns changed immediately after Nash came on the court, and there was an open shot after three passes and two passes, and Stoudamire hit a shot.

The Rockets attacked or blocked, Maddy returned the ball to high post Hayes, who shook it and jumped in the face of Stadamire.

Stadamire jumped up to block, Hayes faked a real pass, and threw it in the air to Maddy, who took the ball and jumped up and down, came a passionate one-handed windmill, and scored a dunk.

After Maddie landed, the two clapped their hands and bumped their chests, and the Rockets were full of momentum.

The ball was so beautiful that the visiting fans couldn't help but applaud Maddie.

Suns Nash passed the ball again, and Barbosa made a three-point jumper from the outside. Azubuuk didn't follow, but Barbosa couldn't have hit the ball wide either.

Hayes got stuck on Stoudeyer to grab the rebound and made a long pass to Maddie, who was on the fast side. Maddie catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer.

At 48-50, the Rockets were two points behind.

The Suns commentator became nervous and said: "This year's Rockets have changed a lot from the previous two years, and the main thing is their tenacity. Yao Ming was plagued by fouls, but they did not give up the game at all, but played harder. Hayes is amazing, his height of 198cm, this section has the upper hand against Stadameyer, I just thought it was incredible. ”

The Suns are now on the floor with two guards, Nash and Barbosa, and the defense is tight. The Suns made a change, bringing on Raja Bale for Barbossa.

The Suns started the offense with Nash, and Stadamire ran back for an aerial relay dunk, which also caused a foul on Hayes. Hayes jumped up the block this time, and the two collided in the air, and Stadamire's strength was really enough to bounce Hayes away.

"You can't stop me!" Stadameyer roared, hanging from the hoop and doing a pull-up.

Across Hayes's dunk, Stadamyer was so excited that he hung on the hoop to get a good look at Hayes's embarrassment. At this point, the referee blew the whistle again.

It was a violation to hang on the rim for too long, and Stoudamire gave the Rockets a free throw for nothing. This is called joy and sorrow.

Stadamire and Hayes each hit free throws.

"Thank you. If we win today, I'll treat you to dinner. Hayes raised his hand and smiled at Stadamyer.

Stadameyer gritted his teeth and almost went berserk.

Suns coach Mike Anthony asked for a timeout, the Rockets didn't play Yao Ming, and the offensive end played with momentum, and he had to lay out his tactics to suppress the Rockets' fast break.

After Hayes left the game, Yao Ming handed over the towel and smiled in Chinese: "You did a beautiful job." Looks like there's nothing to do with me this time. Ha ha. I see you and him (Stoudeyer) in the opposite position, and I am reminded of a phrase that was very popular in China when I was a child. ”

"What?" Hayes asked, wiping his sweat.

He took a sip of the bottle and immediately squirted it out again.

I only heard Yao Ming say: "The little overlord is endlessly happy!" ”
