Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 19 [A murder caused by a yawn]

On November 11, the Rockets easily won three consecutive victories. The game process was like a friendly match, because the opponent was the Knicks.

Putting aside the poor record of the New York Knicks, in terms of staffing alone, they are expected to become the biggest laughing stock in the history of world sports.

Take a look at the New York Knicks' payroll this season-Malik Rose, who is almost nailed to the bench, has an annual salary of 710 million U.S. dollars, and the "blue collar worker" Jeffries, who was dug from the Wizards, has a salary of 563 million U.S. dollars. "Ah Q" Richardson, whose rate is almost 4%, is 810 million US dollars. However, the two star guards of the team are of course the most disproportionate in getting and paying. The "tumor" Marbury actually wants to walk away with a sky-high salary of nearly 1500 million U.S. dollars!It is because of the existence of these high-paid bastards that the Knicks' total salary expenditure this season is as high as 2000 million US dollars.Do you know the current regular season record of the Knicks?It was 1 wins and 2 losses.

In addition to losing, the Knicks still have a lot of lace news.New York Knicks president "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas was sued in federal court by one of his former female subordinates for sexual harassment and discrimination.As soon as the news came out, the whole world smiled.The plaintiff is a mother of three children.A woman who is thicker than the famous American tennis player "Serena".Do you have the courage to harass such an ugly woman?Brother Assassin, you have already caught up with Yushu Linfeng Sai Pan An, the little girl Zhou Botong with a pear blossom crushing a crabapple!

Losing money and avoiding disasters...Huge expenditures, super bad grades, and constant internal strife.It seems that the problems that other teams have have in the Knicks.The Knicks have problems that other teams don't have.However, poor grades and many scandals do not mean that they will not be able to take care of business.Do you know which is the most valuable team in the NBA?The answer is the New York Knicks!This is the weirdness of the American economy.

The New York Knicks became the first team in NBA history with a market value of more than $6 million in the Forbes Fortune Ranking of NBA Team Value, and the team has also topped the ranking for three consecutive years.At present, the Knicks' market value of $6.04 million is more than $2 million ahead of the No. 2000 Lakers.But their records are reversed.The more rotten the more valuable it seems to be a truth in today's NBA.

Obviously, this bad team can't stop the Rockets!

The game was decided after one quarter, and Eddie Curry, known as the "Little Shark", was really a "dish" in front of Yao Ming. He only saw the shark's fin, but not the fish's body.

Moreover, the Knicks always let Hayes get open jumpers after the pick-and-roll, as if they had never watched the Rockets' previous game video. Frye also sifted the Knicks' defense.

The game quickly turned into garbage time.

The only person Hayes felt a bit of a struggle was David Lee.Due to more focus on offense, Hayes' rebounds are not as good as before his rebirth, but he is still a good player, but David Lee's limited playing time makes him almost impossible to grab rebounds.

'It's just that it was so fierce in 2006, what will happen after the outbreak is up to you. After Hayes came off the field, he whispered to Jeff Van Gundy: "Jeff, I recommend someone. If the team makes moves in the winter transfer market, consider the number 42."

"You mean the white rookie?" Jeff Van Gundy listened to him and observed carefully.

"It's him, David Lee. I played against him in college, and he was very strong. He was definitely muttered. Hiring him here will definitely strengthen our inside line."

David Lee is at the same level as Hayes, and he still holds a rookie contract. David Lee was not as good in college, but he has also improved.In the future, David Lee will grow into one of the few rebounders and has been selected as an All-Star.If he can be dug over smoothly, the Rockets' inside line will really be invincible.

With the style of the Knicks who are stupid and rich, who should they trade for?This needs to be discussed.

第四节，火箭三巨头整齐的坐在板凳上，有说有笑的看着替补们练跑轰。三人都只打了20多分钟。海耶斯20分5个篮板3个助攻。姚明28分11篮板2助攻4盖帽。麦迪11分6篮板5助攻。

"At this rate, I have to substitute Corunna (Azubuike)." McGrady joked.

In these two games, Azubuike was very bullish. He scored 15 and 17 points respectively in the limited playing time, and played well on both offense and defense.He has already entered the Rockets' rotation, and he hit the head earlier than the Azubuike in history.However, the best substitute is someone else.

"I'm going to be the substitute for Bunch. He's more like a power forward than me now." Hayes also laughed, with a hint of conspiracy in his smile.

After some discussions between Hayes and Jeff Van Gundy, on the premise of winning, they specially arranged tactics to facilitate Wells' statistics.

First, Wells was allowed to catch the ball and play singles; more importantly, Wells did not rest during garbage time, and brought a substitute to run and bomb.

This allowed Wells to perform well in three consecutive games. He scored 21 points and 10 rebounds in this game. If he continues to play like this, he can compete for the "Best Sixth Man".

Wells is very happy. Recently, his expression always looks like he won the lottery.He believes that Jeff Van Gundy's sudden change of attitude should be because he discovered his value after losing to the Hornets, and he is the person the Rockets need.

He began to YY: "I have a second spring on the court, will I replace McGrady as the starter one day?"Can I be the boss of the Rockets?Maybe it's really possible, Van Gundy started to reuse me, he regarded me as a god, and he often put his hands together and prayed when he saw me. '

Where is Van Gundy's prayer?He is hypnotizing himself. 'Bear him for another month!one month!This bastard must be replaced!If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will fall without being startled, the ever-changing will be determined, the spirit will be peaceful, the grime will not be stained, and the vulgar will not be stained...' (Van Gundy practicing "Bing Xin Jue"?)

106 to 84 to get the Knicks, the Rockets won three consecutive victories, flew to Miami, and played away against the Heat led by Wade and O'Neal.

Rockets VS Heat, destined to be an interesting game.

Because the Rockets have Yao Ming, and the Heat have O'Neal. There are always endless topics to talk about in "Yao Shark Showdown".

In addition, this is also a master-apprentice matchup between Heat coach Pat Riley and Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy.

Yao Ming and O'Neal are not the same type of player.Almost all of O'Neal's points come from the basket, he is the true master of the basket, and he is a representative of a powerful center; A model of a technical center.

Who is the league's first center?In fact, this season, there is nothing like it.O'Neal has already passed his peak period, and his domineering at the basket and his control over the game have begun to decline.Since O'Neal left the Lakers, the distance between the two began to close. This year, the time has come for Yao Ming to overtake O'Neal.However, O'Neal and Yao Ming at their peak will never be compared.

The Rockets have won three consecutive victories, and the momentum is in full swing. On the other hand, the Heat have never played at the level of defending champions since the start of the new season. They were beaten 66-108 by the young Bulls in the first opener.A disastrous 42 points.

In the waiting room, Jeff Van Gundy was doing pre-war mobilization for the players. "Never underestimate the Heat, even though they lost 40 points in the first game, even though they lost consecutive games, it is quite bad; although O'Neal is old, Anthony Walker is old, Alonzo Mourning is old, Payton is old too, but you guys have to take this game seriously, you hear?"

The Rockets players were sweating... Hayes rubbed his nose and said, "It's not good enough. With these examples, you seem to be the one who underestimated the Heat... Coach?"

"Well... I underestimated them. But I don't have to play, just don't relax too much." Jeff Van Gundy has been in a good mood recently, and he would joke when he seized the opportunity. "Tactically, Yao Ming, I think O'Neal will fight you hard to prove that he is not old. You can limit him as much as possible, and you can shoot again when you have a chance on the offensive end. Don't pay too much attention to the Yao Shark duel. The team wins. The most important thing is to attack Chuck first, and Walker is no longer able to do it, so he will definitely be able to deal with it. Yao... how do you say that Chinese phrase that boosts morale?"

Yao Ming covered his face with one hand, gave Hayes a hard look through his fingers, and said helplessly, "Hello everyone is really nice...Hello is really nice."
Since Hayes jokingly said such a sentence in Chinese, saying it was about teamwork and morale boosting, Jeff Van Gundy remembered it.Yao Ming only hoped that he would not bring this sentence to the press conference, otherwise someone in China must have laughed at it.

The Rockets start unshakeable: Alston, McGrady, Battier, Hayes, Yao Ming.

Heat starting: Payton, Wade, Haslem, Anthony Walker, O'Neal.

O'Neal beat Yao Ming with the opening jump ball, and then quickly went down to the Rockets' three-second zone. After receiving a pass from Payton, he turned around and hit a small hook.He looked at Yao Ming, patted his chest, and the subtext was "I'm not old yet".

In fact, O'Neill is indeed old.He just doesn't want to admit it, so he insists.

The road to superstardom is brilliant and contradictory.

When he first entered the league, O'Neal was not afraid of tigers when he was born, and constantly challenged his predecessors.He is not afraid of losing, he has body and vitality, but he is inexperienced. If he has good teammates, if he can make free throws, he may be able to taste the taste of the championship in the third season of the league.

After that, O'Neal reached his peak with the Lakers, got all the honors, and began to be regarded as the most powerful inside monster in history.

He was invincible once, so getting old is more painful.Seeing the newcomers emerging to dominate the game, killing all directions, he wanted to keep his dominance, but he was powerless, that feeling was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

He has a cheerful personality, so fans can still see him laughing in front of the camera.In fact, when he was defeated by young people, he felt worse than death.

Yao Ming is the person most people compare with O'Neal.Therefore, the person he least wants to lose is Yao Ming.In this game, he will do his best.

No matter how strong a star is, his basketball career will end one day, and he must finish his journey with dignity.

Yao Ming also received the ball under the basket, and O'Neal defended him.This season, almost all teams in the league will double-team Yao Ming at some point, and only O'Neal will definitely play one-on-one with Yao Ming.This is the dignity of the "big shark"!

However, Yao Ming has a different state of mind this time: "You are not old, so don't be old. We have people younger than you."Pass the ball, let Haiye...'

Yao Ming saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Xiang Zhonglu.

Hayes ran back to get rid of Walker, who was getting slower and slower, cut the ball in the middle, and went straight to the basket. He held the ball with both hands and was about to dunk.Desperate to prove himself again, O'Neal's brain became hot, he let go of Yao Ming, defended from the right side, and blocked Hayes with his big hand.

Hayes has been observing O'Neal's movements from the corner of his eye. He was prepared for it. After jumping up, he immediately scored with both hands. The ball was handed over to his left hand for a low hand pick. Sitting on the ground, but the ball was still scored, and the referee's whistle sounded.

'My god, this guy is as strong as a bear.It's a pity that he didn't get drafted into the Grizzlies back then. Hayes took two deep breaths, was pulled up by Battier, patted his butt, and cursed in his heart.

An extra free throw is also scored.Hayes succeeded in hitting a three-pointer and grabbed the show against Yao Shark.

Back on defense, Hayes ran to Yao Ming and whispered, "The pre-match plan can be implemented."

Yao Ming nodded lightly.

In the next round, sure enough, the Heat still played O'Neal.O'Neal took the ball at a 3-degree angle on the left side of the 45-second zone and prepared to drive the ball inward.At this time, Yao Ming suddenly withdrew.O'Neill felt a light behind him, and turned around to go inside to dunk.

"Be careful!" Wade, who was running outside, saw everything clearly, but it was too late to remind him.

As soon as O'Neal turned around with the ball, he ran into someone.Hayes protected his key parts and slid out three meters straight.The referee immediately blew O'Neal's offensive foul and dribbled the ball into someone.

Only 1 minute into the game, O'Neal fouled twice.

It turned out that Yao Ming and Hayes had an inside switch when no one stepped forward to pick and roll.

As soon as Yao Ming pulled away, he ran towards Walker. Hayes stopped behind him with two legs, waiting for O'Neal to hit him.This defensive tactic is rare in the game.If it weren't for O'Neill's focus on singles and not paying attention to observing the surrounding form, it would be impossible to succeed.

After hearing the whistle, O'Neill was stunned. When Yao Ming met him before, he always played very hard. The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two has long been a habit.

This time, "Yao Shark Showdown" brought out a boy less than two meters tall to disrupt the situation.

Moreover, he was "fucked" by this little man!

It's a duel between big men, who's your onion, Hayes?O'Neill is on fire.Although he usually has a good temper, it's terrible when he gets angry.He stared at Hayes fiercely, and was replaced by the coach by saying "despicable and shameless villain".

Hayes' plot succeeded, and he and Yao Ming cheered with high-fives to celebrate.After seeing this scene, O'Neill was even more furious, and threw the towel handed over by his teammates to the ground.If O'Neal had hair, he must have been furious.

Heat coach Pat Riley was forced to replace center Alonzo Mourning.

Alonzo Mourning is also one of the super centers in the United States. Before he was diagnosed with partial renal failure, he could do whatever he wanted in the low post to destroy the opponent's inside line, and he could catch the ball and make an emergency stop jump shot. The offensive methods around the basket are rich and varied, including back-to-basket singles, layups, slam dunks, second offenses, and hook shots.The offensive means that can be inside and outside makes him score like a bag.

But after the kidney transplant operation, Alonzo Mourning's playing time dropped significantly, and his physical condition was not as good as before. His score dropped from more than 20 points to less than 10 points now. In the second offense at the basket, his shooting skills are only a flash of inspiration.

In retrospect, Alonzo Mourning also had a bit of a feud with Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy.

In a game against the Heat in May 1998, Knicks player Larry Johnson and Mourning sparked a group fight. As a result, Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy was eager to protect the players and hugged Mourning's thigh tightly. After dragging it out for a few meters, Zeng Liang wiped the floor so quickly that he acted as a mop once.Jeff Van Gundy's admirable courage has since been passed down to a good story in the NBA.

However, Alonzo Mourning, the villain back then, can no longer be evil now.His height is only 208cm, and now he has nothing to do against Yao Ming.As soon as O'Neal left the court, the Rockets' offense immediately became dominated by Yao Ming.Yao Ming hit the Heat three times with a hook and a jumper, and also caused a foul by Anthony Walker, making two free throws.Helping the Rockets lead 16 to 8, the Heat called a timeout in one breath.

The team's defense is not good, and the head coach Pat Riley dare not send O'Neal to play at this time.From the look in O'Neill's eyes, he knew that his anger was still there. Pat Riley suspected that if O'Neill had a gun in his hand, he might have exploded that Chuck Hayes' head.Let him play with this emotion, if another foul is called, it will be difficult for the Heat to play.

The Heat had to change their tactics to double-team Yao Ming.

However, with Yao Ming double-teamed, how can he guard against Chuck Hayes?Pat Riley, who is nicknamed the "magic operator", can't figure out an idea for the Rockets, who came out of nowhere. Now, he can only rely on Anthony Walker, who has been gaining weight. Can resist.

After the timeout, the Heat double-teamed Yao Ming, and the Rockets immediately passed the ball to Hayes.

Two power forwards.It looks similar in size, but Hayes is actually muscular and Anthony Walker is fat.

The resistance was enough to be able to resist, but Hayes ran to the outside to catch the ball, and Walker's speed couldn't keep up.

Hayes changed direction and dribbled the ball out of space, and the two moved at different speeds.

Hayes made a three-pointer and scored.

Anthony Walker, who loves to shoot three-pointers, was tricked by others on the three-point line, and the fire in his heart suddenly came up.He is famous for his preference for shooting three-pointers, and there was a classic interview back then.

Reporter: "Why do you like shooting three-pointers so much?"

Walker: "Because there are no fours!"

The three-pointer was not finished yet, Hayes played on a whim, and under the watchful eyes of the Heat at home, there was a convulsive "hip-shaking dance" during the retreat.And the creator of this disgusting dance is none other than Anthony Walker.Whenever the team is about to win or hit a good goal, Walker will twist a few times.Now, seeing opponents provoke with his signature moves at home, Walker's angry features are twisted into a chrysanthemum (imagined).

"Dare to steal my patent? I'm so mad at Sajia. Are you tired of your life, kid?" Anthony Walker was distraught, ran to the frontcourt, and started asking for the ball.

NBA stars like to fight trash talk on the court. It seems that they are not stars if they can't talk trash and provoke.Actually no, sometimes, one action can turn your enemy into a beast.

Anthony Walker is losing his mind right now.He has long forgotten the team's tactics, and only the basket is left in front of him.After receiving the ball, he pulled up from the three-point line and shot, and he wanted to pay back a three-pointer.

Hayes watched Anthony Walker take off, jumped up too, and slapped the ball to Alston.Many NBA players have the habit of "returning one". He is sure that Anthony Walker's IQ will definitely make the shot.

Alstom was flat in front of him and put the ball in easily.In the past, after scoring a goal, he always silently returned to the defense. Alston, who "I am kind", also learned badly. When he ran back, he even covered his mouth with his hand and yawned a lot.All Heat players could see this action clearly.

"Oh, God, Alstom actually yawned and provoked the defending champion. This action is really unbearable, so exasperating! The Rockets are too arrogant today!" The Heat commentator said indignantly.

Alston's action not only angered the players on the field, but also boos from the audience.

This yawn became the turning point of the game, leading the game to the brink of losing control.

Next, the Heat's players never played a good teamwork again, "The Flash" Wade went it alone like crazy, scoring consecutively.

Wade completely overwhelmed McGrady, but no matter how fierce he was, he couldn't reach the level of 1V5. The Heat couldn't stop the Rockets from blooming more, and the score kept falling behind.Their defensive moves have also become bigger, and big moves don't mean they can defend. At the end of the half, the Rockets are 65 to 41 ahead of the abnormal Heat.

Yao Ming had a few more scratches on his body, all of which were scratched by O'Neill's nails.

McGrady also became popular. He was violently violated by opposing players and pushed down many times... (McGrady: Do you dare to describe it any worse?)
Kirk Snyder, who came off the bench, injured his wrist after a fall and was taken directly to the hospital.

In the second half, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady sat on the bench for fear of being killed by the red-eyed Heat players.

The most violent scene happened at 6 minutes and 40 seconds of the third quarter. When Hayes, who was more active, swayed past Walker and was about to dunk, he was knocked down by a "tiger pounce" from O'Neal who came up from the side, and was almost reborn.

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience!

Players from both sides gathered around, and the atmosphere was tense.

In order to avoid a repeat of the incident in Auburn Hills, Hayes, who had stars in his eyes, yelled "I'm fine! I'm fine!" while lying on the ground, calming down the anger of the Rockets players in time.

Hayes struggled to climb to the sidelines, and the team doctor Lovin stretched out his finger and asked "What is this" several times?Let the players help him back to the bench.

The official timeout, the assailant O'Neill was sentenced to a second-degree malicious foul and was directly expelled from the game.

"Are you okay? Quick check." Jeff - Van Gundy anxious road.

"There's no need to check, I'm fine. I'll kill his family, this fucking fat man is so fucking ruthless, no wonder Buckley beat him up before, he's a grandson." Hayes circled three times to the left and three times to the right, After twisting his neck and buttocks, he uttered a Chinese-style swear word.

The teammates who usually only swear words such as "**, shit, sonofabitch" were dumbfounded.

"Your provocation is more successful than trash talk. I have opened my eyes. But please don't do this kind of thing again. What I am most afraid of now is injury. And you two, be careful. If you lose Better than getting hurt." Jeff Van Gundy said to the Rockets Big Three with a sad face.

"I just provoked Walker. Other people's madness has nothing to do with me." Hayes grumbled.

Everyone's expressions changed, only then did they realize that the culprit was someone else.After searching for a while, I found a person squatting in the corner of the bench. It was Alston. He knew that he had caused trouble, so he didn't breathe, and wrapped his head in a towel. It's a COS mummy.

"I think I'd better go to the waiting room for a while. The referee thought I was about to be beaten to death. The call must be beneficial to us, otherwise it would be too dangerous to continue the fight." Hayes covered his head and said in a low voice.

Therefore, in order to put pressure on the referee on the field, the Heat will not be allowed to continue to be so rough.Hayes pretended to be miserable, and threw two free throws casually. Padgett and the team doctor helped him out of the field and returned to the locker room.

As soon as Hayes sat down, he heard his phone ring.He took his cell phone out of his bag and realized it was Taylor Swift.He immediately guessed that Taylor must be watching TV, and quickly said softly to the phone: "Hi, Taylor...I'm fine."

"Don't lie to me, I've seen it all, are you seriously injured?...I think you've been beaten so badly that you can't walk..." the little beauty Taylor said anxiously, and after finishing speaking, there was a faint voice coming from the other side of the phone. There was a sob.

"No, it's for tactical arrangement. The coach asked me to pretend, so that the next game will be better for the Rockets. What I said is true. Please don't cry, beauty... Please , or I'll cry..." As soon as Hayes talked to Taylor, he would unconsciously change his tone and become much gentler.

Hayes tried to explain.The regret in his heart.How did he forget that Taylor could watch TV?Had I known that he would not have suggested going back to the rest room, I would have skipped Michael Jackson's "I Wipe My Tears" on TV for Taylor to watch.

"Wait, hang up first, and I'll give you evidence."

Hayes had an idea, and took a short video with his mobile phone that he thought was cute and sent it to Taylor Swift, proving that he was fine, and the little beauty finally felt relieved.

"I'm sorry, I made you worry. I'll let you handle it when I get home. I'll bring you a gift back home."

"Don't be disgusting, you're fine. Who's worried about you?"

"Why didn't you worry about calling me?"

"I'm afraid you will be beaten to death... No one will sing with me."

The two said a few more insignificant words and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone for the second time, Hayes remembered that there was someone else in the waiting room. He was startled, and turned around to find that the team doctor Lovin was lying on the seat behind him, shivering.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Hayes asked strangely.

It took half a minute for Luo Wen to raise his head, his eyes were dull, as if he had been greatly stimulated, and he said slowly: "It's too... fleshy... numb!"

Hayes: "..."

In the next game, the referee really began to favor the Rockets who "lost the general".Called the Heat for a foul almost as soon as there was physical contact.

It was a staggering, fitful game.In the end, the Rockets beat the Heat 109 to 73 in an away game and achieved 4 consecutive victories.In addition to the big win, they also broke a team record and scored 58 free throws in a single game.

姚明全场只打了19分钟，投篮10中5，罚球6中6，16分7篮板2助攻。

麦迪更惨。上场18分钟，投篮6中2，三分3中0，罚球8中6，勉强拿到10分2篮板3助攻。

Chuck Hayes had the most playing time among the three, 26 minutes, 13 of 8 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 3 free throws (the opponent fouled too hard, not allowed), 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists 1 cap.

Six Rockets scored in double figures, and Bunche Wells and "The Flash" Wade, who came off the bench, tied for the highest scorer in the game, scoring 6 points each.

Experts say Houston had a tough win.

Is Houston really worse?

The next day, the Heat played back-to-back games without O'Neal.It turned out that O'Neill also injured his knee in the collision with Hayes, so he should rest for at least two weeks.

O'Neal may have been in pain when he walked out of the field, but he endured it.Going to attack a small guy by himself, and getting hurt, is too embarrassing. In the NBA for more than ten years, sharks have always hurt people. How can anyone hurt sharks?

The Rockets returned to Houston overnight... For Hayes' injury, the teammates all expressed concern and kept silent on the media.Only the substitute player Azubuike actually went out after the game as if nothing had happened, and went shopping in a shopping mall in Miami. After this move was exposed by the media, it aroused strong dissatisfaction among Houston fans who cared about Hayes.

"Damn it! I'm going to help that guy who faked his injury buy a gift for his girlfriend—a gift—a thing——

It is said that one night, such a tragic echo echoed over Houston.
