Hayes' slam dunk tied the score at 88.

Vince Carter missed a 3-pointer from distance, Thomas grabbed the rebound, and the Bobcats defended successfully.

Barnes, who defended Carter, didn't help the Bobcats much on the offensive end, but he was really strong defensively. Carter has scored just 14 points so far, with only four points on his mark since being targeted by Barnes. Turkoglou, another Magic perimeter player, also missed his shot under Hayes' defense, scoring 11 points on 5-of-13 shooting.

If it weren't for the Magic bench player outburst, the Bobcats would have been far ahead.

Hayes got the ball again, and the fans in the audience fell silent. Tekoglu and Carter stepped forward together. The Magic's goal now is to keep Hayes at bay, and as for Barnes, he's willing to run wherever he wants. Even with goals, Magic is acceptable. The consensus among the Magic players on the floor was that they didn't want to see Hayes score anymore.

Hayes retreated with the ball, firmly controlled the basketball, and there was no time to break through, and the two completely blocked the route. It's hard to get through the middle. Hayes was on the right and Barnes was outside the left three-point line, in a catch-and-receive position.

With this vacancy, you're not that bad, are you? Hayes decided to trust Barnes and shifted to the right to dribble and suddenly turned his back in Barnes' direction. Nelson followed Rondo, and at this point the Magic could only beg Barnes to miss. Barnes' shooting isn't his strong suit, but it's not that he can't shoot. He has a couple of positions that are also accurate, one at a 60-degree angle on the left. He took aim, jumped high and hit the jumper! 91 to 88.

The Magic called a timeout, and during this time the Bobcats offense was good, and Stan Van Gundy wanted to use the timeout to disrupt the Bobcats' rhythm, or Hayes's rhythm to be exact.

Kenny Smith said: "The Magic called a timeout again. What they are most afraid of at this time is that the other players of the Bobcats will open up, and if Barnes can hit a three-pointer, the Magic will not be able to casually trap Hayes on the outside. Not to be trapped, Hayes' shooting will make them suffer, and most of Hayes's offense today is on the outside, and it seems to be stronger than the inside. ”

Barkley laughed: "Chuck's outside shooting is very accurate, I can break the news, when I was in Los Angeles, Michael (Jordan) and Chuck often compared shots, and Chuck won." Especially on the outside, even Michael in his heyday is not as accurate as Chuck. In the regular season this season, Chuck attacked on the inside, and there was no way to do it, because the Bobcats' interior firepower was too poor. If you want to play the full power of the attack, the position of the swingman is the most suitable for him. ”

"He scored nearly 30 points in the regular season this season, and you still say that he didn't play his power, that's too exaggerated, right?" Smith laughed.

Barkley said solemnly: "That's true. Chuck averaged only about 23 points in the first half of the regular season, and if he had been on his own from the start, he would have averaged more than 32 points for the season. And looking at the offensive efficiency, he has the fewest shots of any player who has scored more than 25 points, and he has only made fewer than 6 free throws, which is pitiful. How many free throws did LeBron get? 9 times! If you look at offensive efficiency, Chuck is the scoring champion and rebounding champion this season. No one but Chamberlain could do that. I used to say that he was my successor, but now it seems that he has surpassed me. I couldn't have been more confident than he could do better. His goal now is to surpass Michael Jordan! ”

Barkley's words are Hayes' highest praise to date.

"In today's game, he's really strong." Smith laughed.

"I wanted to see Chuck break the scoring record, didn't you notice? He's already scored 50 points in this game. The active player's playoff scoring record is Iverson's 55 points against the Hornets in '03. Chuck is not far from that record. He was just 13 points away from Michael's playoff high 63 points. Barkley said.

Smith then remembered to look at the scoring record, sure enough, Hayes has scored 50 points, and there is still nearly a quarter to go, with Hayes' current scoring momentum, it is very likely to surpass Jordan to become the person with the highest single-game score in the playoffs.

It's not just Barkley who has noticed this, Stan Van Gundy has noticed it too.

"Hayes has scored 50 points. Are you ready to break his all-time playoff scoring record? It's not far off, and what to say next can't make Hayes score again! Dwight (Howard), you have to pay attention to the help defense. Don't start from the outside, if the other Bobcats shoot from the outside, we're going to lose! Stan Van Gundy said.

Howard nodded, he was already paying attention to the help defense, but Hayes had too many tricks, as long as he couldn't cover him, he had a way to throw the ball in, it was just amazing.

"If Hayes breaks through, foul him right away, don't wait for him to make a move. Get the foul count to four as early as possible, and we can also use foul tactics on players who don't make the right free throws. Stan Van Gundy said. When the players came on the court, he sighed softly, and the best thing he could think of was foul play. Sending other Bobcats free throws to other players limits the Bobcats' offense more than putting Hayes alone.

The game restarted with the Bobcats replacing Thomas for Bidrins. As long as the Magic had less than four fouls, D'Antoni dared to let Biedrins play. Biedrins' rebounding and defensive abilities are a lot better than Thomas's.

Carter showed a big heart, forced a shot from the outside, and hit a three-pointer. 91 to 91.

The Magic turned into a single defense against Hayes with Turkoglou's outside line. Although it was close pressing, the pressure on Hayes was also much less, at least it was much easier to catch the ball.

Barnes' three-pointer just now worked. They don't dare to be trapped, so it's much easier for me to do it. Hayes thought to himself, Landry pulled up to the high post to cover, and Hayes suddenly activated, changed direction and shook off Tecoglou with the ball. Got to the three-point line. Howard followed the defense on the outside and blocked in front of Hayes, and Nelson on the weak side also came up to the defense.

It looked like the defense was close to the dead end, and Hayes had no choice but to pass. Rondo cut into the box and Hayes slowed down his dribbling speed and glanced in Rondo's direction. This glance attracted the attention of the Magic players.

Is he going to pass the ball? As soon as Howard had this thought, Hayes suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Howard, pulled up with the ball in his right hand, and looked like he was going to change direction to dribble, Howard's center of gravity shifted to the left, and Hayes's ball was handed to the left hand.

Prevented! Howard was just happy in his heart. Hayes took the ball with his left hand and slapped it to the ground, the ball passed between Howard's legs, and the ball hit the ground and passed to the baseline. Rondo just arrived, received the basketball, jumped in one step, and hit a one-handed dunk! Tony Barty couldn't make up for it. 93 to 91.

After this ball, Howard also got on fire, and being passed through the crotch was a humiliation for any player. What's more, he's the Magic's defensive core! Other players are also getting more and more impatient.

In the following game, the Magic began a vicious foul on Hayes. Carter was substituted for a break and replaced with Bogans, who was more defensive. Bogans and Hayes were teammates in college, but he wasn't polite to Hayes either.

When Hayes shoots, the audience can even hear the sound of the beaters. The first time Hayes attacked close to the basket, Howard hit a foul hard, and Hayes just took it as an accident. Hit both free throws from the free throw line.

But the second time Hayes made a high jumper, Tekoglu's foul was completely deliberately slammed into Hayes's right wrist, and in order to get a little harder, Tekoglu almost clenched his hand into a fist, hitting the back of Hayes's hand numb. Hayes approached the referee for a theory, but the referee didn't notice this and ignored it. Hayes wanted to push Tekoglu to the ground and beat him.

This time, he was in full swing, the back of his hand hurt again, and his free throw was inaccurate, and he missed both free throws.

Hayes drew the bag and the Bobcats' role players finally scored. At 3:11, the Bobcats led by five points, 101-96. Things started to turn against the Magic, and one of the worst fouls of the game came in.

The Bobcats attacked, and Tony Barty rushed out from the side to push Hayes, who had already jumped to the basket, out of the baseline and knocked over the camera on the sidelines. This ball can easily cause injury to players. Fortunately, Hayes didn't jump high, and his coordination was much better than last season, and he made a good protective move when he landed to avoid injury.

The Bobcats immediately surrounded Tony Barty! Weaver, who was impulsive, rushed up from the bench and pushed Tony Barty, almost becoming a group fight!

"Stop! I'm fine! Hayes got up quickly on the ground, but instead of punching Tony Barty, he grabbed Weaver. Fan, you go back to sit for me, if you are banned, it will be even harder for us to play! ”

Weaver listened to Hayes and hurried back to his seat. Hayes's words are commands. The other Bobcats players also dispersed.

The person who was the most angry was Hayes, but he still thought about the team and just put the fire down. Beating Tony Barty seems to be a good man, but if he does, he will likely end up being swept away! He's going to fight back against the magic on the court!

With a half-minute break in the game, Barty was given a second-degree foul and ejected from the court, but the Bobcats also had a loss, Weaver also received a technical foul, and the Magic also got a free throw.

Barkley angrily scolded in the commentary seat: "I'm X! Magic is not defense, it is obviously not the ball for people, although their foul tactics in the first few games were bastards, at least they were within the rules, and now the score is behind and it is shameless! If losing a Barty could take Chuck off the court with an injury, they would definitely earn it, and the foul should have cost Barty a ban for the entire season! ”

"This game is really not glamorous for the Magic, I don't know how the home fans feel, from just now, the sound of cheering for the home team has decreased." Smith said.

After that, Tekoglu committed another heavy foul, he did it very secretly, Hayes asked the referee to theorize, the referee ignored it, Hayes's right wrist was swollen, and he wanted to kill in anger. On the last two free throws, he simply switched to a left-handed shot and made 1 of 2 free throws.

Howard grabbed the rebound, and to his surprise, there was no cheering in the audience, and the court was incredibly quiet.

Hayes, who was already tired, dropped faster after being fouled four times by his opponent, and was sent to the free throw line eight times, hitting only four shots.

It's not like you can endure it. Magic's offense, Hayes deliberately let Turkoglu break through, and then chased the hat from behind, and put Turkoglu on the ground with the ball under the basket, and Turkoglu landed on his back and fell almost out of breath. Hayes also received a technical foul. Hayes is the MVP of the league, and the referee is so anxious that he sweats profusely, and he doesn't dare to send him off at this juncture.

The game almost got out of hand. In the final minutes, both sides felt a little out of sorts, and the Bobcats led by as many as six points, but Redick, who came off the bench for the Magic, hit a three-pointer, and Howard made 5 of 6 free throws at a critical moment to overtake the score again. 109 to 107.

In the final 29.3 seconds, Hayes took a step outside the 45-degree corner of the penalty area on the right side and turned his back to Howard, Nelson let go of Rondo and stepped forward to wrap up. Hayes used his left foot as the axis, and suddenly turned to the baseline and made a quick throw, but Howard didn't cover it, and the ball bounced on the basket and luckily fell into the basket. 109 to 109! After that shot, Hayes has scored 56 points, making him the most scorer in the active playoff game.

After the goal, Hayes clenched his fists and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "I must win!" ”
