Unlike the boos of the fans when LeBron James scored just now, Hayes' goal made the whole stadium boil. The Cavaliers have already attacked the Rockets half, and the Rockets fans are still screaming for the goal just now.

This shows how unpopular James' crab step is.

Drexler burst into laughter from the commentary bench. "Hahaha, Hayes is so much fun, I like him more and more now, it's the real one, the movements are exactly the same. James didn't know how to feel. ”

Matt Bullard smiled: "Looking at his expression, I should feel uncomfortable." He's a super player, hopefully he won't use the crab step in the future, he's already strong in his own right, and the crab step will only lower people's opinion of him. ”

"I think he's old-looking, but he's like a big kid......" Drexler laughed, "I don't know how he's going to respond to Hayes next." ”

How will James respond? He was quick to give people an answer.

James intensified, received the ball from the outside, turned around, started to make a three-step layup as soon as he entered the three-second zone, jumped to the basket with a walking belt, and hit a layup with dodging and sideways in the air. Hayes and Battier couldn't keep the ball off the back and forth.

11 to 4.

Hayes wanted to use this trick again, but it wasn't possible. This ball is too difficult and too far away, and he can't imitate it even if he opens the writing wheel eye (the strongest imitation skill).

James' layup is fast and fierce, and the referee is not good at blowing penalties. If Hayes had gone to the basket from that distance of three steps, he would have had to run with the ball like a football player, and he would probably have taken eight steps out of the sky.

In the back, James pounded his chest at Hayes and roared like a winner.

Hayes was suddenly a little disappointed with the "first man in the league" in front of him. James' personal ability is indeed very strong, and few people can make the action just now. But as Barkley said, he can't be Jordan, and he never will.

Jordan used a step-back jumper as a killing weapon.

Bryant learned to play backs and dream footwork to improve.

What about James? He put a strong body without strengthening the back beating, invented a personal patent crab step, whistle ignored. Can you surpass Jordan with this? Is this a transcendence or a step backwards for the NBA?

The Rockets fell into the battle, Hayes blocked Maddy, Maddy reversed Yao Ming, Yao Ming bypassed Ilgeskas into the interior line, and easily put the basket to score two points.

13 to 4.

In the defense, Hayes stood next to James and said with a smile: "For your own good, I suggest you give up the crab step, that's garbage!" As long as you're still using it for a day, no one will think you can surpass Jordan, and you're now more like a crab who is taken care of by the star whistle and likes to walk sideways. ”

"I want to win. This is a reasonable use of advantages and rules, and if the referee does not blow it, it is not a foul. James said coldly.

Hayes laughed, "Whatever you want, it's a pity you can't turn all your teammates into crabs." ”

"......" James was angry, and he was not very satisfied with his teammates' performance.

James took the ball outside the three-point line, and Hayes pestered James to prevent him from accelerating. Once you let him rush up, it's hard to guard.

This strategy has been very successful.

James was intercepted by Hayes after half a step with the ball, he sat with his back and played inside, squeezed a few times but it didn't work, the explosiveness James had the advantage, but it was more stable than the next set, and the two were evenly matched.

Seeing that his superior strength did not work, James had to pass the ball out, and Gooden missed the jumper. Yao Ming won the rebound.

In the next game, both teams did not have a high shooting percentage and played iron frequently, and the Cavaliers played the most iron and naturally LeBron James, who shot the most times.

The Rockets defended tightly and led the Cavaliers by eight points at 25-17 to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, when James went off the floor, Battier and Hayes also went off the court together, replacing Bunch Wells and veteran Juwan Howard, who finally returned.

The Rockets' tactics were very obvious, and the two of them teamed up to limit James throughout the game.

Yao Ming was caught up in the game by Gooden and substitute Vallejo, and several inside passes were handed to Howard. Howard felt good in his first game after his comeback, hitting consecutive mid-range shots. The scores of the two teams quickly increased to more than 10 points.

Mike Brown had no choice but to send in James, who had only rested for less than 4 minutes.

The Rockets also made an immediate substitution, with Battier and Hayes on alongside.

Maddie was also replaced and rested, James did not defend Maddie, so he targeted Hayes, and the two muscular hunks began a-for-tat battle.

"I'm not going to let you score a goal!" James pointed at Hayes and nodded, as if to say, you're done.

"I want you to score 82 points to surpass Kobe, so I haven't been trying hard, why don't you beat me on my back more? Come on! Don't be so soft, squeeze me under the basket, man! Come on! Hayes stood up to James and said.

Hearing this, James really wanted to press Hayes to the ground and beat him up.

Those who dare to provoke James with strength in this league can be counted on one hand, and Hayes is one who is less than two meters tall.

Although he hates it, James must admit that the other party is tough, and there are probably only two swing men in the NBA who can give James a headache in terms of strength, one is the King's Artest, and the other is Hayes.

Hayes' defensive strategy against James was evident from the first minute of the game. He will follow James to any corner of the court, keep a close mark, and try to only let James attack from the outside. James didn't get any easy shots in front of Hayes.

And, once James relied on blocking and dismantling Hayes, Battier would immediately stick up. Cut off James' passage into the inside. His defense is different from Hayes's, he doesn't stick to the defense, he doesn't need hand-to-hand combat, he just uses his feet in front to block James' breakthrough lane, so he doesn't have a chance to rush inside to score.

Hayes' outside defense was taught by Battier, which made the two quite tacit, and the cooperation was almost seamless, whether James tried to break through or block and dismantle, they all had a way to keep the little emperor out of the door, keep him away from the basket, and could only jump shots.

James can rely on his height advantage for jumpers, but that's what the Rockets want to see. James' jump shot level was unsatisfactory and hit the iron many times.

With four minutes left in the second quarter, the score was 45-25 to 20 points.

You can see how bad the Cavaliers' offense is from the score, and they are being killed by rockets in all positions. Except for James with 11 points, no player could step up, with Ilguskas scoring 2 points, Vallejo 4, former Rockets captain David Wesley 2 points, Don Yell Marshall 4 points, Gooden 2 points, and that's their pathetic stats......

Mike Brown no longer dares to hope for victory, he just hopes that the Cavaliers don't lose too ugly.

James was completely restricted, not just offensively, but also defensively.

When the Rockets Big Three are on the court together, their playing style is very flexible, and Yao Ming is very sure of his singles, and he passes the ball as soon as he encounters a bag. Maddie broke through the offense after being blocked by Hayes, and the blocking and pick-and-roll allowed Maddy to avoid James' jump shot and score, and at the same time, Hayes also had to defend, and all three of them had strong singles ability.

James was isolated, the defense could only help the defense, and the situation of being powerful and nowhere to use made him very uncomfortable.

James was blocked by Hayes again, and couldn't help but say coldly: "You know how to block and dismantle." Aren't you a cow? Come attack me? Why don't you dare to face me? You softass. ”

Hayes' answer almost caused James to vomit blood. "Hero, you're amazing. How dare I vote with you, I can't beat you, I'm afraid of you...... Alas, Tracy scored again......"

James grabbed a loophole, turned past Hayes, and got the tomahawk dunk.

After landing on the ground, James glared at Hayes and let out a vicious breath.

But Hayes was not angry at all, ran next to James, and said with a smile: "What a fierce dunk!" Admire! You're a five-star dunk, right? It's not a MVP-level superstar. ”

Then his next sentence was, "Huh? Is the scoreboard malfunctioning? The Cavaliers have a hunk like you, why are they nearly 30 points behind? ”

James doesn't believe in Buddhism, and even if he does, he already wants to dismantle Hayes in eight pieces, and then I don't go to hell, who goes to hell.

When Hayes faced James, he didn't hit hard once.

He did admit in his heart that he was not as good as James at the moment, and if the two were one-on-one, he would definitely be blown up by James. Except for his reaction speed, he has no qualities better than James, especially when James dunks, it looks like he is flying.

However, he has tough teammates. A group of teammates who don't need him to score to win.

When defending, it is impossible to completely defend James by brute force alone, so Hayes has time to tease a few words to disturb James's emotions.

In the second half, the Cavaliers' offense still didn't improve in the slightest, and James had successful breakaways, but when he finally broke through the defense, Hayes or Battier would give him a heavy foul, making it impossible for him to easily go to the basket or dunk. James has an average hand, and his free throws are basically one of two free throws.

At 3 minutes and 28 seconds into the third quarter, James received a pass from Snow and made an empty dunk with a flat head frame.

However, even with a hot dunk, James's resentment could not be released. He wanted to give Hayes a big hat and hit him on all fours to see him deflated! If Hayesken had attacked, it would have been as hot as a professional wrestling match. But Hayes is determined to be a blue-collar worker today.

Hyde, who came off the bench, became the hero of the Rockets in this quarter, hitting three three-pointers for 13 points in the first quarter, turning the game into garbage time. The Cavaliers trailed by 31 points, and James was unable to recover on his own. Both teams made all the substitutions and the game did not make any waves until the end of the game.

It was not a wonderful defensive battle, which was completely different from the pre-game expert predictions, and in the end, the Rockets defeated the Cavaliers by a huge margin of 86-60, 26 points, making the Cavaliers embarrassed to get the lowest single-game score of the season.

None of the Cavaliers scored in double figures except for James. James played 32 minutes and finished with 21 points, four rebounds and three assists on 7-of-23 shooting, 2-of-7 three-pointers and 5-of-9 free throws. The shooting percentage is less than 30%, well below the season average.

Hayes played 32 minutes and scored without a double double for the first time of the season, shooting 3-of-5 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with nine points, eight rebounds and four assists while committing four fouls.

Yao Ming and Maddy scored 18 and 26 points, respectively, and Hyde, who came off the bench, also scored 15 points.

Maddie was named the best player, but everyone could see that the biggest contributors of the day were Hayes and Battier, who scored very little, and the two completely locked up the previously imposing James.

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown attributed the loss to the Rockets' successful defense of James and the lack of physical strength of the players in back-to-back games.

James said in an interview that the Rockets will not be so easy to go to Cleveland.

Hayes was again the focus of the press conference.

The reporter asked, "Mr. Hayes, you were successful in defending James today, can you talk about your defense?" ”

'It's tough, it's the most tiring game I've had this season. Don't look at me smiling so happily, in fact, I have suffered a very serious internal injury and could collapse at any time. James was one of the strongest players in the league, and I had to mess around for days. Hayes laughed.

The reporter asked: "You only had a few shots in the attack today, is this a tactical arrangement?" ”

"Yes. My job today is to defend and block, we have a lot of people on the team who can score, I don't have to play hard, I just need to win. ”

The reporter asked: "You scored the ball with the same action as James today, did you consciously use the color?" ”

Hayes cleared his throat and said with a smile: "That's right, in Chinese, this is called 'with its way, give back to the other'." Chinese fans believe they all know what it means, in fact, my Chinese name is 'Murong'. ”

The American reporters present were all in a fog and did not understand what Hayes meant.

However, when Chinese fans saw this interview on the sports news, more people voted for Hayes' All-Star!
