Chapter 322 [The Most Popular Data Master!] 】
If a person really wants to brush the stats, then he will definitely have very beautiful stats, especially rebounding. In the All-Star Game, both sides have a very fast offensive tempo, and of course they shoot more and miss more, and at this time, a rebounder will definitely gain a lot if he focuses on rebounding.
In fact, as early as last season's All-Star Game in New Orleans, Hayes had an amazing performance in grabbing rebounds, and the last time the jersey design failed and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, Hayes took grabbing rebounds as his top priority, grabbing 23 at once.
Hayes's style of play made Kobe Bryant shake his head, he saw that Hayes was deliberate, with Hayes's scoring ability, the first throw should be hit, and after grabbing the rebound in the front court, the basket shot did not go in, and he simply relied on his good body to brush the rebound. At that time, it was Kobe Bryant who was under the basket, and if it was Gasol and Stoudamire, he would definitely not dare to do it.
Back on the defensive end, Hayes began to "deliberately leak" again, and when the opponent came up, he just made defensive moves, but never let his body leave the sides of the rebound.
Rebounding can be divided into two types: "rebounding" and "rebounding". The ball on the rebound is for the super quality people with super bounce power. What Hayes is good at is grabbing the ball under the rebound, that is, squeezing the opponent away from the basket and holding the ball easily. So in addition to accurate judgment, he has to leave the basket to be powerful.
Bryant received a pass from Gasol and scored on a mid-range jumper. 40 to 56.
Hayes also defended Kobe Bryant tightly in the first quarter, and now he has gone to the other extreme. Hayes thought it through, although the Eastern Stars look star-studded, they are too poorly coordinated, and they may not be as good as the Bobcats. This time, let Kobe be arrogant and wait for the official game to clean him up. The Bobcats still had one more home game against the Lakers in the regular season. Hayes is ready to wait for that game to avenge the away defeat. Now his mind is completely relaxed.
Yao Ming sent the baseline ball, but he still had to pass it to Harris, and he felt a headache when he saw Harris take the ball and Hayes. Count on him to pass the ball, unless it directly forms an assist. Hayes gave Durant an off-ball cover in the high post and helped Durant shake off Kobe's entanglement. Harris didn't pass the ball, but took the ball from the other side to break inside and singled out Arenas.
'If you don't pass it, don't pass it, anyway, my purpose is not to let you pass to Durant' Hayes thought to himself, because he didn't want Durant to receive the ball easily, Gasol, who was originally defending Hayes, followed Durant. Hayes immediately rushed inside, and Harris missed with a pull-up jumper. Hayes swapped positions and Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant's rebounding is better than that of a guard, and he is far worse than Hayes. Hayes easily put Bryant out of the reasonable collision zone and grabbed the rebound again.
Hayes bent his knees, his hands slightly raised. Stoudeyer was under the basket, but he knew that Hayes liked to shake people under the basket and usually didn't shoot directly, so he just raised his hands and didn't jump, ready to treat him to hot pot when the time in the three-second zone was almost up. Bryant's idea is similar to that of Stadamire, he wants to block Hayes' outward pass route and wait for an opportunity to steal.
This time both men misjudged, and Hayes jumped with all his might, and the basket was scored with both hands under the basket. 42 to 56.
Miller sighed: "Today, the Western stars should take a good review, a group of 7-foot-tall long people, but let Hayes grab so many rebounds, this is his fifth frontcourt rebound." ”
Barkley laughed: "As long as Chuck's assist double-double, he will definitely get a triple-double today." ”
By the time several commentators spoke, the Western Stars had already attacked the basket, Kobe Bryant threw the ball into the air, and Stoudamire scored a dunk in the air. 42 to 58.
The Eastern Conference Stars replaced Yao Ming with Dwight Howard, LeBron James replaced Pierce, and Iverson replaced Harris to speed up the offensive tempo.
Howard came on the court, and Hayes' first feeling was to grab a rebound with one more opponent. Yao Ming will help his teammates card people as long as they see that their teammates are in good positions, but Howard is as excited when he sees the rebound ball as a mouse sees cheese, and even if there is a mouse trap underneath, he has to pounce on it. And on the offensive end, it didn't help to let Howardra cover in the high position, so Hayes could only pull to the high post to cover.
Iverson passed the ball to James, who broke through from the left side to the inside through with Hayes' cover, Stadamire made up for the defense, and the Western Stars gathered a group of big men inside, Nowitzki is also the height of the center, even if he stands still, it is not easy for the Eastern Stars to break through. Hayes lightly blocked it, and immediately dismantled. James breaks to the left and Hayes to the right.
Faster than speed, Hayes was faster than Nowitzki, two steps away from the distance, and Jaime immediately passed the ball to Hayes. Hayes slotted into the box and dodged Nowitzki's low-handed layup. 44 to 58.
Hayes is aiming for the data, but his attention is still focused. When James comes on the court, his breakthrough will attract the center of gravity of the opponent's defense, and Hayes will try to run open space and squeeze under the basket. Howard can also attract a man's defense when he stands under the basket, and Hayes can get a good chance to score, and he has to brush it all over.
The Western Stars requested substitutions, with Anthony, Roy, and Duncan coming on for Nowitzki, Kobe, and Gasol.
After another minute of play, Hayes' favorite Arenas was also replaced by Paul. Without Arenas as a blacksmith, the number of rebounds would have decreased. Under this kind of data-brushing mentality, Hayes scored 9 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in the half. Hayes played less than five minutes in the second quarter and was replaced early.
The All-Star Game halftime show will kick off with Hayes' new NBA song "If You're There", which was supposed to belong to five-time Grammy Award winner John Lejand, who gave up the opportunity to Hayes because of Hayes's extremely high singing talent, and the NBA officials preferred to have an NBA player who could sing the song. It took Hayes two weeks to prepare, and now he can perform the song well, and it's become another single for him.
At halftime, the rest of the players went to the lounge, but Hayes changed into a clean suit and kicked off the half-time show. The audience cheered loudly in the first paragraph, setting off the biggest ** of this year's All-Star Game.
Although O'Neal danced very dazzlingly, it was just an amateur spoof, but Hayes sang and won the Grammys, scoring 10 points at halftime, and O'Neal, who was not afraid of Yao Ming and Howard, went down.
Not only O'Neal, but all the All-Star brilliance was overshadowed by Hayes, and if Hayes is seen as a singer who has won the regular season MVP, it feels different.
After putting on a good show of his singing skills at halftime, Hayes returned to the basketball court in the second half. The whole person feels more energetic.
D'Antoni saw that he was in good spirits, and he didn't let him rest, and sent him directly to the field. It's obviously the home of the Suns, but Hayes has added a lot of popularity to himself after singing. In the first half, the fans kept cheering for the Western Army, hoping that the Suns players could win the MVP, and in the second half, as soon as Hayes got the ball, the fans began to applaud.
"Chuck's performance has conquered the home fans, and now every time he gets the ball, a lot of the fans start applauding as if he were a Suns player," Barkley said. ”
Smith laughs: "He does have that charisma, and that song just played a key role." If one player is particularly popular, other players will create opportunities for him, and the West is creating opportunities for two Suns players, one of whom is expected to win the MVP at home. If the East wins this game, the MVP will have to be Hayes. ”
Miller continued: "You're right, a lot of players in the East today are out of shape, the most points in the first half were Paul Pierce 14 points, James got 10 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Wade 11 points, and the closest person to MVP now is Hayes." ”
Eastern players began to create opportunities for Hayes, because Hayes attacked with the ball is what the audience wants to see, and at this time, Hayes can also win the favor of the fans. And D'Antoni also arranged offensive tactics with Hayes as the core, regardless of whether the stars are willing to implement tactics, he is a coach, and it is his right to arrange tactics.
At this time, D'Antoni remembered the scene when Hayes participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, at that time, he felt that Hayes was a piece of jade, and with a little polishing, he could become a treasure, and now Hayes is a rare treasure in the NBA league.
The Western Stars fielded the same starting lineup as they did in the opening game, and the East made a slight change, with Durant replacing Joe Johnson. D'Antoni thinks Durant is much better than Joe Johnson. The latter is just an ordinary star, and he has no characteristics in playing.
Yao Ming naturally had to pass to Hayes when he had a chance, Iverson was very low-key when he came on the court, more to create opportunities for his teammates, and when Hayes pulled to the high position, he would hand the ball to the Hayes organization. Only Michael Jordan has a triple-double in the NBA All-Star Game, and now that Hayes is getting closer to that feat, many people want to see it.
Hayes certainly lives up to the kindness of his team-mates. In this way, he has a better chance of getting beautiful data. Although he does not occupy the right time and place now, he also has a "people" item.
In the opening game, Hayes assisted Yao Ming to score a single Duncan. Half a minute later, Hayes hit the ground and passed the ball to James, who cut through the middle and scored a layup.
Even if the East Army loses, I don't have any regrets about getting a triple-double. Hayes got the ball high and Anthony defended him, and the Western Stars used a joint defense strategy, with Anthony on the outside and Garnett on the inside to supplement Hayes.
Hayes took advantage of Yao Ming's cover to burst inside from the left side and hit a one-step pull-up jump shot to score his 11th point of the game. The score became 71-83, and the Eastern Stars played a 6-0 small **, and the score was only 12 points behind. With a core on offense, the Eastern Conference star began to chase points.
Duncan pulled Yao Ming to the high post, and Anthony caught the ball at a 45-degree angle and hit James with his back. "Melon" is better at using his back, turning around and hitting a jumper after two dribbles. 71 to 85.
Yao Ming is still covering in the high post, Hayes is at the top of the arc, and James is more like a power forward at this time. Hayes dribbled horizontally to attract Anthony's defense, but did not break through with Yao Ming's cover, at which time Durant ran back from the other side, and with Yao Ming's cover, James made a block for Durant. After the switch, the man who defended Durant became Kobe.
Hayes' ball was just right. Durant received the ball and pulled out a jumper, relying on his height advantage to dodge Kobe Bryant's block and score the ball. 73 to 85.
Hayes' stats have turned into 11 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, and a triple-double!
