Chapter 279 [Before the Great War]

On November 12, Charlotte Bobcats vs Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets have Anthony and Arenas at the helm and have a 5-1 record. This time it's Denver's home again, and the Bobcats face a serious challenge.

Hayes has had a lot on his mind lately, and he started to be in a daze when he got on the plane. Gao Tongxuan's stomach could already be seen bulging a little, and Hayes couldn't accompany him at home when he played games, so he hired a nanny to cook and clean the room at home. After the arrangement was made, he still felt a little strange in his heart, a little empty and a little uneasy.

In China, it is common to marry a child. Men and women generally marry before a child is born. But Hayes had to wait until the birth of a child to think about marriage for a promise, and he felt that the order was out of order.

Hayes believes that the three most important words in love are not "I love you", but "together". Taylor Swift was out of him for a long time. Because of this, he was a little helpless about the relationship between the two, he hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he rarely talked on the phone. Several times he wanted to make it clear to Taylor and simply recognize a sister, but he never said it.

Gao Tongxuan didn't let him say that she didn't want the relationship between the three of them to become awkward. Hayes felt that it was not easy for Gao Tongxuan to make such a concession, even if she was not a beauty, he felt fortunate to have such a wife.

Gao Tongxuan told Hayes that she was not selfish, but women were very careful and more observant than men. She could tell that Hayes loved her and would never abandon her. So she doesn't mind getting married later.

Since he has occupied a powerful position no matter what, the best way is to wait a year, Gao Tongxuan took a step back, but he took retreat as advance. At this time, he showed generosity, which did not embarrass Hayes, but made the relationship between the two more unbreakable.

There is a lot of resistance between Hayes and Taylor, even if Taylor's family really agrees to their relationship a year later, the two have not seen each other for a year, won't the relationship fade? Besides, Hayes already has a child. There's no way Taylor's heart isn't completely unconcerned.

Things work themselves out. There's no point in thinking too much. Unless he left Gao Tongxuan to find Taylor, Taylor's parents couldn't be happy. Let's get the championship first.

Azubuuk, who was beside him, asked, "Chuck, I see that you are a little absent-minded, do you have any troubles?" ”

"Isn't it normal to be in a daze? Being in a daze is one of life's great pleasures. Hayes closed his eyes and said boredly.

"No, I watched you for a while, and your expression just now kept changing, as if you were embarrassed." Azubuk said.

"It's good that you have a girlfriend now and you're about to get married, otherwise I would have asked you to stay away from me. What do you have nothing to do with observing men? Hayes sighed and said helplessly.

"As a brother, shouldn't I care about you? You can tell me what it is. Azubuk said.

"Tongxuan is pregnant, you know. I can't stay home with him, and I'm a little upset. Hayes said lightly.

"Oh? Not because of that little girlfriend of yours? Her latest album has a story to do with you. Wait a year or something......" Azubuk laughed. Because of Hayes's relationship, he also listened to Taylor's songs.

Taylor did release two new singles, one of which was clearly inspired by Hayes. MTV is also the heroine who has to be separated from her beloved for a year because of a certain relationship, and she has been worried about being forgotten by men and breaking up indifferently. Later, the two met a year later and still loved each other.

The song is written more like some kind of expectation on the part of Taylor. Azubuuk could see it, and Hayes naturally knew it very well. But for now, we can only wait.

"I've always wondered, why do so many people like you who can't coax girls and are boring? And they're all beauties. Azubuk said with an envious expression.

"Look at you brother. After all, you're just jealous of me, huh? I was so focused on basketball that I didn't care enough about my girlfriend. You're right, I'll do my best to make it up when the holidays come. Hayes laughed.

"Have you ever thought about having two beauties?" Azubuuk Q&A.

"Is this kind of thing possible in the United States? I would go to jail for bigamy. Hayes said, rolling his eyes.

"Or you can live without getting married. It's not like three people can't be together. I heard from my wife that her cousin Elena had found two handsome men to be boyfriends, and the two men were still brothers, and the three of them were doing well in Mystic Falls, Virginia. Azubuk said.

"One woman, two men? Falls Town, it's a special name, I don't think I've heard it somewhere......" Hayes sighed. He's been particularly fond of sighing lately. Anyway, there's still a year, so I'll wait a year to think about everything. Take it one step at a time.

Thinking too much about Hayes doesn't feel like it's a good thing, things in life distract him a little, and if this emotion is brought to the court, I'm afraid it will lead to a slump. He had repeatedly missed shots in the previous game against the Raptors, and he didn't want a second time.

Although he has reduced the number of shots this season by focusing on the offense and running in the team, he is only averaging 17 points per game and only 9.5 rebounds, which he is not satisfied with. The good thing is that his teammates are strong, and his assists have skyrocketed, averaging 9 per game, and his steals have also increased to 1.5, which is not too bad. Last season he was a top scorer, and this season he's closer to a playmaker. He and Gerard Wallace often switch positions, and Wallace has been on the inside longer than he has and has fewer rebounds for that reason.

Another reason for Hayes' lack of rebounds was Camby. In addition to pulling to the high post to shoot and grab the front court rebound for the second offense, the veteran generally does not shoot, his task is to grab rebounds and defense, and is currently averaging 10.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, which is very good.

"Started in a daze again?" Azubuk smiled wryly.

"yes, I'm wondering how the Nuggets are going to play this game." Hayes laughed.

"Are you worried that we're going to lose? The Nuggets' defense has always been great, and the best defensive players have come to our team. Azubuk laughed.

"The Nuggets' defense is really not very good, but their offensive ability is among the top three in the league." As soon as he heard basketball, Gerard Wallace, who was lying on the other side of Hayes, accosted him.

Hayes smiled, and indeed the Nuggets' interior defense has indeed become weaker. Chris Anders, who was supposed to be signed, also arrived with the Lakers. However, with Arenas, the Nuggets have increased their attacking power.

"Gerrard, Cameron must have been handed over to you to defend. As long as you can limit him, we can win. Hayes laughed.

Wallace snorted. He's looking forward to playing against a tough opponent, and apart from James, the best star at the small forward position is Anthony, who Wallace is eager to prove himself by beating Anthony.

"If you want to attack, I'll pass the ball to you. I'm sure you can score high on Anthony's head. Hayes suggested. In the new season, although Wallace has outstanding individual ability, he has not yet made the first offensive point in any game.

"No, as long as you can win, it's more important than anything else. I'm not a rookie who needs to build confidence. It's definitely easier for you to play Martin than it is for me to play Anthony. Wallace said solemnly. He doesn't have much of a chase for stats, but he never lets up on rebounding and defense.

Hayes laughed, "Be flexible." The Nuggets aren't weak, and as long as they take a bag on me anyway, I choose to pass. I've been addicted to assists lately, so you're always ready to catch the ball. ”

The Nuggets can be said to be the big dark horse this year, and the strong teams in the West have a headache when they encounter the Nuggets. They have a great inside line, and the outside line is the league's top configuration.

Centre-forwards: Nene , Marcin Gortat, Joe Smith.

Power forwards: Kenyon Martin, Steven Hunter, Reinado Balkman.

Small forwards: Carmelo Anthony, Linas Kreza.

Shooting guards: Sonny Weems, J.R. Smith, Dundee Jones.

Point guards: Andre Miller, Anthony Carter, Gilbert Arenas.

Comparing the starters of the two teams, the Bobcats do not have an absolute advantage.

The first is the center. The reason why the Nuggets ruthlessly sent Camby away is because there is an inside. Camby defends well and grabs rebounds. But he is older, his feet move slowly, and his defense is not strong. The quality of the endophysia is excellent, so that it will not become a defensive black hole. On the offensive end, Nene is far superior to Camby, who only has a jump shot on offense, and Nene has a variety of offensive patterns.

In the power forward position, Hayes has an overwhelming advantage over Martin. Martin entered the league as a champion, and in the past few years he became famous for his dunk profits with the Nets, but he was injured many times after a big contract transfer to the Nuggets, and his strength became weaker. He is characterized by a strong body, good bounce, and often sends out big hats when helping to defend, but he is prone to shaking. Hayes happens to be the best at shaking people inside, with excellent long-range shots and low-post singles.

Small forward Anthony beats Wallace. Anthony is the small forward with the most offensive means in the league, with excellent mid-range shooting ability and 3-point ability, and his breakthrough is not bad, and his defense is average. Wallace has good explosiveness and bounce, is much worse offensively than Anthony, and is good at defense. Anthony is an important scoring point for the Nuggets, and effectively limiting his shooting percentage is tantamount to choking the Nuggets' scoring lifeline. But Anthony can shoot and burst, and it won't be easy to defend successfully, and Wallace will need to put some thought into it.

Shooting guard Durant vs Jones. Durant's strength has been affirmed, and veteran Jones is also an underrated player. He's a good team player, he doesn't have a good chance and never pushes his shots, his attacking ability is average, but he defends well. In addition, Smith, who came off the bench, is the third most powerful firepower point on the outside of the Nuggets, with excellent breakthroughs and mid-range shots, and is a "nerve knife" type player. He also has the possible surname of starting the game.

Needless to say, point guard Billups is capable and useful. But the Nuggets have the great god Arenas in the backcourt, and the offense is stronger.

The Nuggets are also very strong off the bench, with Andre Miller, Kreiza and others all having the quality to start. The Nuggets are currently ranked 5th in the power rankings, if it weren't for Martin and Nene who are often injured, it is unknown whether they can play healthy for the whole season, and their strength ranking will be high, after all, the Nuggets are not inferior to the Timberwolves in terms of squad strength, and the Lakers and Bobcats also have a fight.

This game is destined to be a battle of dragons and tigers!
