Hayes hit six three-pointers in the first half, tying Jordan's half-court three-point record.

Jordan sat on the sidelines, clenching his fists excitedly. It's been 10 years since he retired, and the finals finally had another god-like performance, and Hayes had dominated the game.

Reggie Miller is also thrilled. He was the league's legendary three-point shooter, but he only reached the Finals once, against the Lakers. At that time, O'Neal was really unable to resist, and the Pacers lost 4-2. Hayes's current dominance is no less than O'Neal's, or even stronger. O'Neal still had weaknesses back then, as he made 3-of-13 free throws and 3-of-12 from the free-throw line. But against Hayes, the Lakers can't use foul tactics. Hayes also shot above 80 percent from the free-throw line.

"It's the best solo performance I've ever seen, and as long as Hayes continues to shoot three-pointers, he'll be able to break the NBA Finals all-time three-point record. No, he can break a lot of records. Reggie Miller's expression was mixed, both surprised and expectant, and a little jealous.

"yes, he only needs to vote two more and people can forget about me completely." Kenny Smith smiled wryly. He set the NBA Finals three-point shooting record.

The all-time record for three-pointers in a single game in the NBA Finals is seven. Being able to hit seven three-pointers is no easy feat. In Game 1 of the 1995 Finals, Kenny Smith hit seven three-pointers, laying a solid foundation for the Rockets' final overtime victory over the Magic; Two years later, in Game 3 of the Finals, Bulls forward Pippen made seven three-pointers again, but Pippen's 7-of-11 three-pointers failed to help the Chicagoans beat the Jazz.

The Finals are the highest level of performance in the NBA, and it is undoubtedly a symbol of success to meet teams here, but it is also very difficult to perform well on this stage, and those players who can set the record in the Finals will have their names engraved on the NBA Hall of Fame for a long time.

In fact, in the last game, Hayes almost broke the record. The Finals assist record is held by "Magic" Johnson. In Game 3 of the 1984 Lakers vs. Celtics Finals, Johnson dished out 21 assists in a single game to help the Lakers beat the Green Shirts by a large margin. Hayes was just one short of that record.

Hayes' 31 points in the Finals is unique in NBA history.

the 33 points created by "The Iceman" George Gervin in 1978 while playing for the San Antonio Spurs; Thompson scored 32 points in a single quarter in the same season; In 1962, when he played for Philadelphia, Chamberlain scored 31 points in a single quarter in a game that set a league record for 100 points in a single game; Bryant scored 30 points in a single quarter against the Mavericks in 2005. But the common denominator of these crazy performances was that they were all scored in the regular season, and Hayes's 31 points in the finals were many times higher.

The previous Finals single-quarter scoring record was scored by the Pistons' Isiah Thomas in Game 6 against the Lakers in 1988, when he scored 25 points on 11-of-13 shooting in the third quarter for a total of 43 points and eight assists. This record has already been broken by Hayes.

While several commentators were discussing Hayes' magical play, the Lakers scored. Bryant took Odom to cover and shake off Hayes, burst inside, and scored on a jumper before Landry could cover the defense. 56 to 48.

The Bobcats called for a substitution, Landry went off and Gerard Wallace came on. Hayes returned to the power forward position. Since Kobe Bryant wants to bypass him to attack, there is no need for him to play outside, and going inside to defend can better protect the backcourt rebounds.

Attacking, the Cats continued to use pick-and-roll tactics. Hayes dribbled with his back, Wallace covered Hayes in the backcourt, and Odom switched defenses.

Odom is the Lakers' most familiar with Hayes, and the two have a good relationship, having practiced together in Hollywood the previous summer. But familiarity doesn't mean Odom can defend against Hayes, just as Nash is familiar with Nowitzki, but if he wants to defend himself, he can't.

Hayes didn't make any extra moves, his center of gravity dropped very low, and while increasing the frequency of the shot, one side of his body burst past Odom. This is what "Magic" Johnson excels at, and Hayes and Odom trained together and learned a lot more than Odom.

This time, Ariza went to Hayes to make up the defense. Hayes immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Durant on the weak side, who hit a three-point shot from an open position. 59 to 48.

"Magic" Johnson sat on the comment bench, covering his face with one hand in a depressed way and shaking his head.

Joan Barry smiled: "Hayes is the best apprentice you have ever taught, why are you dissatisfied with him being so strong?" ”

Johnson smiled bitterly: "It's because I taught me that I have a headache, and many fans question why I didn't teach Lakers players but went to teach Hayes, making such a strong opponent for the Lakers, and I feel like a sinner in Los Angeles." Golf skills are all about talent, and they can't be practiced if you want to. Hayes has a natural talent for being a point guard. Bynum is still Abdul-Jabbar's apprentice, and I haven't seen him practice Tiangou. Alas......"

"I'm sure Lakers fans don't want to see Chuck receive the ball right now, but it's hard because he's playing point guard and he's been carrying the ball from the backcourt. Odom and Butler can defend Chuck effectively near the box, but if he starts dribbling through from the backcourt and can break through them with a single screen, the Lakers will have a problem. If someone else is added to the defense, like Ariza, there will inevitably be a gap. If he doesn't defend himself, Chuck will continue to score. Barkley explained.

Defensively, Hayes followed Odom. The man who defended Kobe Bryant became Durant. Kobe Bryant's goal in this game is to defeat Hayes, and there is also someone who aims to beat Kobe, and that is Durant.

However, so far, Durant has not taken any advantage of Kobe, in Hayes's previous life, Durant was already a strongman with an average of 25 points per game in his second season, is it that the Bobcats' Durant is weaker? Not really, the Thunder's Durant couldn't take the team to the playoffs in his second season. His high scoring is just a result of a lot of shots. Now the Bobcats' Durant may be stronger, because he is active defensively, the offense does not shoot randomly, and he is more efficient.

Durant stared at Kobe Bryant, and the two were very close. 'How will he break through?' Left or right, what would Hayes do if it was the ball? Durant likes to think like this when he's under pressure.

If it was Hayes, he wouldn't frown, he would smile at his opponent easily, and even if he was over, it would be as if he was deliberately letting his opponent pass. Then there is likely to be a person behind the guard ......' Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Durant's mouth.

Laugh and smile, it seems that everything has become simpler.

As soon as he saw Durant laughing, Kobe's heartbeat immediately accelerated. It's this smile again, and Durant, a rookie, is also smiling at him. This relaxed smile seemed contemptuous and annoying to Kobe.

I can't deal with Hayes one-on-one, and if I can't deal with you, I don't have to mess around. But the advantage on the inside is more obvious, and if it was Hayes, he would certainly not be provoked and beaten. Bryant also began to think about the game in the same way as Hayes, taking a step sideways and lobbing high to Gasol, who was low on the left. Gasol took a step to catch the ball, took the ball and turned to the baseline, past Lopez to the basket, Hayes followed Odom to the high position, and the basket was empty. Gasol rose to his feet, picked up the ball with both hands, and smashed it into the basket dangling over his head.

Syllable!

Although it was an unguarded dunk, Gasol gave it his all. Not only does he have to score, but he also has to play with the momentum of chasing points. Gasol pulled the basket and landed it, roaring. The audience was immediately incited and shouted and cheered. 59 to 50.

The Bobcats attacked, and Lakers fans shouted, "Defend! defend！ "It's a reminder to keep your team defensive.

Hayes walked forward with the ball and Wallace covered at the back.

'I'm not going to let you go every time. Odom let go of Wallace early this time and took a position in the direction of Hayes' breakthrough, and Butler also bypassed Wallace and prepared to trap Hayes.

At this point, Wallace pulled back and ran to the front court. Hayes took a small step back and passed the ball forward with both hands over Odom's head.

Wallace received the ball and brought it forward, and the Lakers defense leaked again. Odom hurried back after Wallace. Hayes, on the other hand, ran with Odom and blocked Odom without the ball to keep Wallace unguarded.

Odom immediately realized that something was wrong. Butler's attention was on Hayes, too far away from Wallace to defend himself. Wallace takes to the free throw line and pulls up for a jumper. Gasol let go of Lopez and stepped forward to make up for it.

Because he was worried about Wallace's pass to Lopez, Gasol did not dare to rush too far forward, otherwise it would be easy to be passed to the open space by the opponent, Wallace was not disturbed too much, but he did not score this goal. Hayes took up a lot of opportunities today, and behind the excitement of one person, his teammates' hands were a little cold.

Luckily, Lopez was the closest man to the basket and immediately stepped up and grabbed a frontcourt rebound. Gasol finished defending Wallace and prepared to block Lopez.

At this point, Lopez made an extremely fancy move, raising his left hand high but not taking the ball, attracting a little attention from Gasol, and passing the ball back to the middle with his right hand. Hayes had already followed up and used Wallace's cover to shake off Odom. He received the basketball, jumped up and bumped into Gasol.

Gasol jumped up as he stood in the zone of reasonable impact. Hayes hit him in the chest and pushed Gasol out, and for a brief moment in the air, he half-turned and gently picked the ball to the basket with his left hand.

The referee blew the whistle and Gasol sat on the ground with a bump, and the ball spun twice around the basket and fell into the basket.

Hayesga also made a steady free throw and hit a three-pointer. 62 to 50.

"37 minutes! What does he want to do today? Reggie Miller exclaimed excitedly, "It's crazy. He's broken the record again! ”

In the first game of the 1992 Finals, the Bulls played against the Trail Blazers. Jordan himself was a little confused because he was always able to shoot three-pointers on Cliff Robinson's head. He hit six three-pointers in the first half and scored a total of 35 points, setting a record for scoring in a half of the NBA Finals. Today, Hayes broke the record.

The Lakers attacked to the Bobcat half, and Kobe Bryant passed to Gasol. Gasol received the ball and dribbled with his back to Lopez, and Wallace on the weak side suddenly let go of Kobe Bryant and wrapped Gasol. Gasol hurriedly passed the ball to the outside and prepared to hand it to Kobe.

At this time, Hayes suddenly rushed out, intercepted the basketball, and launched a fast break, as if Gasol was the center of the Bobcats, and the ball was passed to him.

Kobe Bryant hurried back to defense. He was still a little quicker than Hayes and was in front of Hayes before he could enter the box. Hayes was just one step closer to the three-point line, stopped and stepped back to shoot a step-back jumper. Kobe Bryant was still in the process of retreating, and he couldn't block it.

With a soft feel and a perfect rhythm, this goal is sure to go in. As soon as Hayes landed, he raised his right hand and clenched his fist without waiting for the ball to go in!

Brush!

Another three-point hollow into the net. 65 to 50.

The audience suddenly became quiet!
