Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 36 [Meteor Garden]

The New York Knicks suck, and it's really no wonder Isiah Thomas.

Last season, the Knicks invited Larry Brown as the head coach. He could turn the Pistons into a steel division, but he failed to make the Knicks learn to defend. This is obviously a problem with the players.This is a team made up of lazy, problematic players who have no team spirit. No matter who the coach is, it is difficult to change. Moreover, after injuries to David Lee and Crawford, the Knicks' already problematic lineup is even more serious. fragile.

19 to 2, this is the Knicks' home court, it's too ugly.

Thomas could only ask for a timeout again.

He replaced Nate - Robinson to enhance the impact, defensive man-to-man, give up double-teaming Yao Ming, let Eddie - Curry around the front defense.

"At the Alston point, Channing (Frye) picks and rolls. If the breakthrough fails, return the ball to Channing to shoot." Thomas said.

Thomas used to be a super point guard. It can be seen that the Rockets have a tight defense. Quentin Richardson was entangled by Battier. Frye was pushed by Hayes and couldn't get into the three-second zone. Yao Ming is also not easy to play, their only defense is the guard position.

After the substitution, the Knicks strengthened their offense and began to score.However, their defense has not been able to get any improvement.

Defense around the front is a good way to deal with Yao Ming, but it also depends on who is defending.Want Eddie Curry to go around and defend?For defense, Curry has never paid much attention to it.Occasionally, he will have a shocking big hot pot, which is used to confuse fake fans who only watch highlights and not games.It is the essence of Curry to have a huge body but not know how to move his feet to occupy a favorable position.

When Hayes easily grabbed an offensive rebound and scored in the second offense, one of the Knicks' on-site commentators, the retired "Central Shooting King" Alan Houston said helplessly: "Curry is too lazy. He watched off again. Hayes, who was a head shorter than him and one size smaller, got the rebound and watched the opponent score an easy two-point shot... He can't grab a rebound with his height and weight!"

Alan Houston's words must have spoken the aspirations of many fans. Curry's style of play is simply an insult to his height.

Nate Robinson made a three-pointer, and the Knicks resolutely attacked Alston.

Alston dribbled the ball across halftime and handed it to McGrady. McGrady used Hayes to break through the pick-and-roll, attracted the defense and then handed it to Battier. Battier hit a three-pointer from the right corner again.

After a while, Hayes squeezed a few times inside and handed the ball to Alston on the outside. Alston jumped up and shot one meter from the three-point line and also scored.

The Rockets hit consecutive three-pointers, and the blow to the morale of this Knicks team was fatal.

After this goal, the atmosphere on the sidelines also changed subtly. Some home fans turned their backs and began to applaud and cheer for the Rockets.As the most expensive team in the Knicks, it is really not easy to be so bad.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led 44 to 21, leading by 23 points.Their three-pointers were even more frightening, making 11 of 8 shots. Except for Yao Ming, all the starters hit three-pointers.

"Play well, continue to play outside, shoot three-pointers." Jeff - Van Gundy laughed.

Although the game only played one quarter, everyone knew that the Rockets had already won.

It is not terrible to be behind, but the terrible thing is that there is no aggressiveness at all.The Knicks can't organize any effective tactics, and every player on the court is fighting independently.Their two star guards, Marbury made 5 of 1 shots and scored 2 points, and Francis made 3 of 0 shots and scored [-] point. The best performer was the small dunk king who came off the bench, Nate Robinson.

"Coach, I suggest that Yao Ming also go out to shoot three-pointers. He often makes shots during training. Don't keep hiding if you have a unique trick." Hayes looked at Yao Ming and smiled.

The players were talking and laughing, and now the Rockets don't discuss tactics during the break, they are all chatting.

"Then I really shot in the second quarter? You go in and grab a rebound for me!" Yao Ming laughed.He has only taken two [-]-pointers in his career.With such a big lead, if he continues to play in this state, he probably won't need to play in the second half. It would be great if he tries to shoot two three-pointers.In training, he often practiced, but he didn't use it easily in the game.

As the saying goes, "A man of high skill is bold." Yao Ming became bolder, and Jeff Van Gundy became bolder.Switching to the previous two seasons, he would definitely scream and mess up when he heard this suggestion.But now, he thinks this suggestion is very interesting and completely feasible.Besides, the Rockets lead too much, so there is really no pressure.

"Okay, Yao Ming, you go up the pick-and-roll, and Tracy (McGrady) is responsible for the breakthrough. When the ball is given to you, you can shoot the three-pointer if there is an open opportunity. Chuck goes inside and plays." Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

During the break, Alan Houston sighed: "Today's Rockets' three-point offense is like a meteor shower. Every player is more accurate than my golden age. This is not a problem with the Knicks' defense. Today's Rockets are not normal. .”

This is just the beginning.When Yao Ming shot a three-pointer in the second quarter, the fans were shocked. This game is destined to be recorded in history and become a legend in Madison Square Garden.

Yao Ming set up a pick-and-roll for McGrady, and McGrady immediately returned the ball to Yao Ming after breaking through.Yao Ming took a look outside the three-point line, shot, and hit the first shot.

The Knicks collectively petrified.

Alan-Houston's mouth was twisted with anger, his eyes widened, and he said in grief: "The Rockets look down on the Knicks too much. Even Yao Ming pulled out to shoot a three-pointer, but he still made it. If this is their tactic, it's really shocking." feel angry."

After playing for 2 minutes, the Rockets replaced Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, and replaced the most accurate three-point shooters Novak and Hyde. The five players on the court were all shooters.

Hayes didn't play hard, and used the method of passing inside and outside to pass the ball to the outside line continuously, and he just grabbed rebounds.The four shooters kept moving around looking for opportunities, firing shots in turn.Hyde quickly got a shot and hit a three-pointer. Not to be outdone, Novak hit two in a row.

Azubuike also made a three-pointer in the fast break after replacing Shane Battier, and the Rockets blossomed across the board.

In the case of a big lead, the players are becoming more and more relaxed, and they tend to shoot more accurately in a relaxed state.

Hayes stayed on the court as a center and played the entire quarter. He turned into a blue-collar player and scored rebounds one after another.The best performer in this quarter was Novak, who made 5 of 4 three-pointers.

The Rockets scored seven more three-pointers in the second quarter.Leading the Knicks by 7 points at halftime.Although the home team is still behind by a large score, some fans who like to watch miracles are very excited and feel that watching the game is not in vain.

The NBA single-game three-pointer record is 22, and the Rockets shot 15 in halftime. They are likely to break the three-pointer record.

In the second half, the Rockets did not disappoint the defecting fans. They marched towards the "Legend" and continued to go crazy on the perimeter. Hayes took a rest.

Alan-Houston yelled into the microphone: "I think I should take the big monster Rocket to the laboratory for research. Let's hang it up today? Yao Ming is going to die!"

Of course it’s not Yao Ming’s cheating, but the Knicks have carried forward the humanitarian spirit and played the NBA regular season as an exhibition game. It's like playing a training game, when the mood is good, the character explodes, and that's it.

Nate - Robinson and Quentin - Richardson teamed up to attack the Rockets' defense.But they still can't catch up with the score.

Hayes rested for less than 5 minutes and returned to the court, replacing Padgett, who felt average, as small forward.With the cooperation of Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, he hit another three-pointer and assisted Novak to make a three-pointer.

Yao Ming made his third 3-pointer of the game and was replaced. He made 3 of 5 outside shots. He was surprised. He sat down and laughed.

The fourth quarter of the game became garbage time, and both sides replaced the main players.

The Rockets ran away with five substitutes, Bunche-Wells led, and Novak topped the center position.

Falling behind by a big score, Alan Houston couldn't get angry anymore. He looked at the statistics and said with a wry smile: "This is really an incredible game. The Rockets are all substitutes now, and the coordination is not smooth at all, but they are still very accurate. Oh , rookie Novak made another three-pointer, 8 of 6, he is simply Larry Bird, Battier has also become Reggie Miller today, and we also saw the McGrady who moved God to tears , Wells also hit several three-pointers. Chuck Hayes... My God, what is this? 18 assists? If he didn't grab 18 rebounds, I'm afraid people would think he was playing Point guard... As for Yao Ming, I don’t know how to comment. He is like an alien today, the kind from the planet Cybertron, after he goes out, he can turn into a truck and drive back to Houston by himself.”

The Knicks only left Nate Robinson on the court to score points, and Malik Rose, Jared Jeffries, Jerome James, and Marty Collins, four highly paid and incompetent guys, scrambled to grab rebounds.

The Rockets' substitutes still shot three-pointers and completely gave up the inside.

The two teams played a terrifyingly high score.The Rockets beat the Knicks 157-113, breaking the season scoring record set by the Grizzlies.

The Knicks also scored high in the second half because they didn't pay much attention to defense.Today's biggest "data brush" Nate Robinson scored a career-high 47 points. Without the classic block against Yao Ming, God compensated him in other ways.

Hayes was named the best again. He scored the fewest points among the starting five, but he got his second triple-double this season, played 36 minutes, shot 7 of 4, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and free throws 2 of 1, 11 points, 18 rebounds, 18 assists and 1 steal.

三分球方面，姚明5中3，麦迪8中5，阿祖布克2中1，诺瓦克9中6，海德4中2，巴蒂尔6中4，阿尔斯通4中2，威尔斯4中2，帕吉特3中1。

The Rockets made 48 of 29 three-pointers in the game, setting multiple records.The team's scoring record in a single game, the NBA's historical single-game three-point record, (one break is 7), Hayes' personal assist record in a single game, etc... The Rockets have not had a player with 10 assists in a single game in 18 years. Hayes, who played the center for most of the game, got the first score, which made people very speechless.It can be seen how accurate they are outside.

After the game, Hayes took a shower and was surrounded by reporters before he even entered the press conference venue. They shot with long guns and short guns, crackling wildly, even with the camera on his shoes.

"Mr. Chuck Hayes, you got another big triple-double today, what is your goal?"

"Mr. Hayes, you have been playing better and better recently. Do you have any secrets to keep in shape?"

"You rebounded in double figures for three consecutive games, did you have secret training? What is your current position in the team?"

"Your contract will expire next year. Half of the teams in the league have vaguely expressed their hope for you to join. Will you stay with the Rockets next year? If the Knicks offer a maximum salary invitation, are you willing to come to Garden Square?"

Facing one question after another, Hayes answered simply, full of pride in his heart, he became more and more confident, and he no longer had any dissatisfaction with becoming Hayes.

Black is not a problem, looks are not a problem, what matters is glory!

I am a man of talent!Yes, this is the life I want!
I want to be a superstar!

I want to become stronger and stronger!
