After playing the Spurs, the Rockets were criticized by the media for the first time this season.

The Rockets, who led the Spurs by as many as 21 points, were reversed in the fourth pick, and the Rockets, who lost their defense, were indeed in the batch. Yao Ming used the word "suicide" in an interview. 'We killed ourselves and it was so uncomfortable. The Spurs are not your average team, they are the best team in the league. You just give them the slightest chance and they can beat you. But we're missing Hayes, and the Spurs won't be so lucky next time. ”

Tomorrow, the Rockets will play at home against the Chicago Bulls, and with Hayes also recovering from his injury, the Rockets refuse to lose in a row.

The confrontation between the two players, who were also non-draft NBA players, became a major attraction of the game.

One is Chuck Hayes, who is in the limelight, since the beginning of the game, he has averaged 23 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1 steal per game, and the balance is comparable to that of "Little Emperor" LeBron James, and the two-point and three-point shooting percentage is still above James.

The other is Ben Wallace, who has been famous for many years, "Big Ben" is a rare defensive genius of the decade, and has been voted the best defensive player many times. However, after the former Motor City All-Star center switched to the Bulls with a high salary, he was not satisfied, and his statistics have dropped across the board, and he still needs to prove himself in the next games.

The contest between the two has caused widespread heated discussions on the Internet.

Barkley is as bullish as ever on Hayes. Refer to him as his successor.

After Barkley, another Hall of Fame power forward, Carl Malone, also praised Chuck Hayes in an interview with local radio: "I think Chuck Hayes is already a great player, as for whether he can reach the heights that Barkley said, it depends on his performance in the future." He has already done a lot of miracles, and he has shown that a lack of talent can be compensated for in other ways. Some people compare him to Ben Wallace of the current Bulls, I don't think it's anything to compare, they are very good defensively, but I've never seen Ben Wallace score more than 20 points. He struggled to even score double-doubles. ”

After 8 games, there have been a large number of fans in the United States who support Hayes, especially Houston fans who regard Hayes as the savior of the Rockets, of course, some people think that Hayes's strength is average.

Oddly enough, it is not the Americans who care most about Hayes' strength, but the Chinese fans. A group of yellows fought over a black man online.

They were divided into two camps, "Haimi" and "Haihei",-for-tat, and even hated each other and cursed each other.

"Haimi" netizen "Zhang Lili" said: "Hayes is the most well-rounded player of the Rockets, and his basketball IQ is very high. He scored more than Yao Ming and Maddie; When grabbing rebounds, he is often Yao Mingka, otherwise he must not know 7; He has more assists than Alstom, and if it weren't for the lack of teammates who often miss, they would have been more. He can definitely play five positions. ”

There are also "Haimi" who think: "Hayes is more domineering than Yao Ming and can lead the whole team more." The Rockets' reversal by the Spurs on the court is the best proof of this, Hayes played hard, and his fighting spirit was touching. Obviously, Hai Ye has become the soul of the team. ”

There is also a "Haimi" suggestion: "Let the 'garbage' Yao Ming, who is dragging down the speed of the whole team, shoot less, grab more rebounds, and be a blue-collar worker with peace of mind." And Maddy, who should develop into a fixed-point pitcher, reduce breakouts, and make way for Hayes to get up to the top. The Rockets are going to build their tactics entirely around Hayes. Make him Barkley II. ”

The "sea blacks" countered: "Hayes directly led to the decline of Yao Ming's statistics, and a large part of his passes were passed to the outside line, not to Yao Ming, and he played very unreasonably, and resolutely resisted Hayes." ”

There are also "sea black" who said: "Is Hayes's height still called an inside line? That's enough, wake up. Hayes is a thigh-hugging softie. The offense relies on Yao Ming and Maddie to attract defense and pick up leaks. Say he's good defensively, how many blocks do you think he's ever had? When you meet a big man, you will shoot to death, and you will know that you will brush up on the offensive data, and the game is extremely ugly. ”

There is also "Haihei" who put forward this point of view: "A person like him can never become a real star, after playing so many games, who has seen him choose to play hard inside when facing tall opponents?" Saying that he can break through, who has seen him break through with the ball beautifully? Said he shot accurately. Jokes, everyone shoots with high difficulty after breaking through, and he is all empty shots to pick up leaks, is that accurate? His dribbling level is actually very bad, and his speed is also slow, and he can only rely on blocking and dismantling the opponent's slow tall interior players, or he is a person who is thinner than himself after changing defenses. The most unbearable thing is that as long as someone is trapped, he will definitely pass the ball and never dare to go on his own...... In short, Hayes is a piece of garbage, and real stars are not afraid of bags, and they are not afraid of their hands. ”

It's hard to say what a real star is. Different people have different concepts in their hearts.

Some people think that Duncan's kind of player is the strongest, and some people like Iverson. There are also some people who read novels and comics more than they read the NBA, and think that only the person who ends the fight with a dunk every time is the strongest, and it is better to fly all over the sky and never fall down that is the star. (Are you talking about Wong Kar-wai films?) There is a kind of birdman who is born without legs and can only fly in the sky......)

No matter how you evaluate it, Hayes is getting more and more attention, and it is an indisputable fact that his value has exploded.

Chuck Hayes officially returned in the afternoon to take part in the team's training sessions and spoke to the media after the session.

The black female reporter with a sense of figure pointed the microphone at Hayes, quietly threw him a wink, and asked, "Mr. Hayes, how do you personally feel about someone comparing you to Wallace, the Bulls' 'Big Ben'?" Do you have the confidence to win the game against the Bulls? ”

Hayes faced the camera and smiled: "I feel honoured that Ben Wallace is one of the best defensive players and I have seen him as something to strive for. He's got a championship ring, and he's far better than me in terms of achievement. When it comes to performance on the pitch, I don't think there's anything like it. Ben Wallace is the center in the Bulls' position, and Yao Ming is the player opposite him. My opponent is probably Rohr Deng, a good opponent. I don't see the outcome very lightly, this is just an ordinary regular season, winning or losing doesn't mean anything, and if you can play well in the playoffs, you can really be strong. ”

"Do you mean that the Rockets only treat the regular season as a practice and will go all out in the playoffs?" The female reporter asked with a smile.

"Huh? The Rockets didn't go all out? Of course not. Hayes looked surprised and said: "We will give our best every game, every player is. ”

The reporter asked, "Do you think the Rockets can be champions this year?" ”

Hayes said lightly: "It's too far to say now, we just want to play every game now, and we just want to avoid injuries and play the playoffs at our best." ”

The reporter asked: "Some say you're more well-rounded than Grant Hill in his prime and can play five positions. You've played center, power forward and small forward in previous games. Have you ever thought about playing defender one day? ”

"Thought. But I'm afraid that won't happen. The defenders in our team are so good, why can't I take my turn? Hayes shook his head and laughed.

The reporter asked: "You are now the No. 1 Rocket in scoring data, and the league is also in the top ten." Kobe Bryant, James, Wade, Anthony and others at the front are all superstars...... Do you have anything to say about these opponents? ”

Hayes thought for a moment and smiled, "Evaluation? They are all strong...... It's like the Lakers' Jordan, the strong Jordan, the small Jordan, and the fat Jordan. ”

The reporter laughed: "Then who do you want to fight the most?" ”

"What I want right now is to play against the Spurs and get revenge for the last game," Hayes said. ”

The reporter asked: "There are many people who say that you are the best player who entered the NBA without drafting, and you played at a star level with a base salary. Coach Van Gundy has also mentioned many times that you are the hardest working person of the Rockets, so to speak, you have taken a difficult path, and now you have made amazing progress, is there anything you want to say? ”

"Yes. My dad once said to me, 'When the whole world is ready to give up on you, you can't give up'. It is this sentence that supports me and makes me believe that as long as you work hard to improve yourself, the opportunity will come to you one day. I also hope that the players who lost the draft don't give up. Hehe, if you have confidence in yourself, you can also take the time to come to Houston to find me 'bullfighting'. It's gold that will shine sooner or later, and as long as you have the strength, I'm willing to help you fight for opportunities. ”

The reporter hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Chuck-Hayes, take the liberty of asking a personal question." There have been a lot of news reports that you are with Taylor Swift, a young female singer who has recently become popular, and some reporters have photographed the two of you going in and out of the same building. Is your relationship a couple? ”

Hayes said very seriously: "This question, I just want to explain, Taylor and I are not a couple, we are neighbors, we are good friends, she is like my sister, and please media friends recognize the facts and don't scribble." I don't want to let me cause Taylor's popularity to decline. ”

The female reporter added her lips with her tongue, and her tone suddenly became much softer, and asked, "In other words, are you single?" ”

"Yes." Hayes laughed.

As a result, after the interview, the black female reporter stuffed a note into Hayes's hand with her contact number and address. Hayes smiled and put it away, but his mind was not so open-minded, and the phone would never be called.

To Hayes's surprise, after the interview was broadcast, someone really came to him for a "bullfight", and he was still a person who had a lot of fate with the rocket.

Tomorrow, it's the Rockets' home game against the Bulls.

It was a busy day for Chuck Hayes. In the morning, in order to maintain his friendship with Taylor Swift, he chatted with Taylor's father for more than an hour. In the afternoon, he participated in the team's training and announced his return from injury. In the evening, he and Maddie will also use the Toyota Center Field training ground to shoot a "The Game is Five" commercial.

This is the first time Hayes has left the country in an advertisement. Facing the camera, he didn't feel a trace of nervousness, just thought it was funny.

Originally, the main character of this commercial was Garnett, and later there were also five-person versions of Maddie, Duncan, Garnett, Billups, and Arenas. Just because he said the advertising slogan at the press conference, the protagonist became him. There should be a multiplayer version in the future, and at that time, who will be squeezed out of the original five? Maybe it's Garnett, because Garnett is the least supported by his teammates in the game right now, which is ironic.

The process of shooting the advertisement is very simple, just a few shots with a few simple lines of dialogue.

Maddie showed off her trick during the shooting, throwing the ball and hitting the board and then catching a dunk in the air; When the staff asked Hayes to perform a trick as well, Hayes was embarrassed.

His most powerful trick can be summed up in one word - "arch".

Arch your opponent's jump shot with your buttocks, or arch to block a shot. That's completely unaesthetically pleasing, what kind of performance are you talking about.

The second is the cottage's "big dream footsteps", his body shape is not as dreamy as Olajuwon.

In the end, at the strong request of the staff, Hayes used the back buckle and one-handed backdunk, his power was strong enough, but the movement was not stretchy enough, and he made a mistake when the back buckle was made......

If you want to talk about the viewing surname of the ball, Hayes is really not good, no wonder netizens are about to spray, Maddie's shooting posture is more beautiful than him.

At the end of the shooting, the photographer casually asked: "I'm curious, can you ask, who is the best of you two heads-up?" ”

"Good question. Haha, this belongs to the team insider. He and I went head-to-head, and I won. Maddie laughed.

"Tracy, you're so tasteless, aren't you? Why don't you tell people about the rules? Usually, a group of you play with me, and when I attack, I won't let my strength advantage be used. Is it fair? Alas. Hayes smiled wryly.

"What rules?" The photographer asked curiously.

"It's the 'Barkley Rule', or who on the team wants to go head-to-head with him? He went to the gym every day, bench press more than 180 kilograms, let him arch casually, and killed, and the outside line of our team had to let him fall apart. Maddie shook her head and laughed.

180 kg bench press, what is that concept? After listening to it, the photographer only felt incredible, there are really many macho men in the NBA league.

The Bulls' Ben Wallace can bench press 200 kilograms, the fiercest of the small inside, and Hayes is not much worse than "Big Ben". You know, O'Neal's bench press is only 200 kilograms.

No one denies Hayes' strength, and Punch Wells, who also likes to play back, is the most convincing person on the team. If Hayes is allowed to arch as much as he wants when he is alone, the effect is terrifying.

What is the Buckley Rule?

Charles Barkley has the greatest hips in league history, and when he attacks with his back to the ball, few defenders can withstand the back-to-back attacks of his massive hips. After the '92 Olympics, the International Olympic Committee proposed a change to the rules of the NBA in response to the "flying pigs' inexplicable ass skills in the Olympics".

So the "Buckley Rule" came into being. The official name of this rule is called the "5-second rule for back-to-back singles", which means that players cannot hold the ball in the paint area for more than 5 seconds with their back-to-back singles. Since then, Barkley has no more time to arch a defender to the basket step by step in 24 seconds and then score easily.

Without this rule, Maddie would not dare to say that he would win against Hayes, and he would not even dare to go head-to-head with Hayes.

Many people think that Maddie has poor defense and is thin, but this is not the case.

When Maddie first entered the league, he worked as a blue-collar player, started out as a defender, and in '98-99 he was the only guard player in the league's top 20 blocks and frontcourt rebounds. His defensive talent comes from his long arm span and excellent aerial superiority, 1-on-1 situations, few people can bargain in front of him, the grasp of space and the understanding of the ball have made him a master of blocking among defenders, after moving to Orlando, due to the team's more offensive tasks, he has slackened in defensive awareness, and his mentality has also changed. Maddie is not a well-established frontal perimeter defender, with a high center of gravity and lack of concentration that makes him miss out on the front, but for low post and back-to-back defense, he can sometimes be tough as a power forward.

Do you know what Maddie was best known for before moving to Magic? That's the power, and his bench press is said to have reached 120 kilograms, which is outstanding among guards and small forwards.

However, Maddie's strength is compared to that of ordinary people, and Hayes can't resist it.

Before the start of the regular season, Hayes often went to Maddy's house to ask for offensive skills, and the two also had a behind-the-door discussion, and that time they were very serious, and there was no Barkley rule, and they played casually until one side called a timeout. As a result, less than 10 rounds, Maddie called a timeout, he was afraid of injury.

Maddie always felt that this was a shame, so that heads-up became a secret between the two of them.

These insiders, they will not mention to the outside world.

———————————— Split ————————————

Haiye's bench press is very strong, and the strength is absolutely the first in the rocket, and this specialty is not a blind break.

For an inside player, strength is very important.

Hai Ye is about to meet the former best defensive player "Big Ben", can he pass this level?

Please recommend! Collection! Stay tuned to Hayes!
