Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 55 [The Enemy of Life]

LeBron James said not long ago that he wants to be the next greatest athlete, he wants to be the next Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson.

As a result, before the game between the Rockets and the Cavaliers, Charles Barkley was interviewed by reporters and mercilessly hit LeBron James.

"The first thing to say is that LeBron is not Michael, because Michael and I are good friends; secondly, LeBron is not a magician, because I am also good friends with the magician. He can't be the above two, at most he can be a high A little Chuck Hayes," Barkley said.

The reporter asked strangely: "Why didn't Chuck Hayes become the second James in the league? Looking at the statistics, James seems to be stronger, right? And he has already become famous."

Barkley laughed and said: "Because I like Chuck the most. If I were to choose the top three players in the league, I would choose Chuck Hayes, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. LeBron's personal ability Really strong, but it's useless, his teammates are too bad, he can't make his teammates stronger, if this continues, I doubt he will have as many rings as me when he retires."

The reporter is at a loss for words. Everyone knows that Barkley's biggest regret in this life is not getting the championship ring. It's no loss that he has a "big mouth" and dares to make fun of himself to hit others.

"Who do you think Hayes and James will win?" asked the reporter.

"In terms of personal ability, LeBron is stronger now, but Chuck will definitely cause LeBron a lot of trouble on the defensive end. LeBron's offense mainly relies on his body. He rampages on the court like a truck every night. , others can't do anything about him, but Chuck is my successor, and he is absolutely not afraid of any confrontation. I think they will become enemies for life."

the reporter asked again. "Who do you think will win today's game?"

"Of course the Rockets win. If the Cavaliers can upset away, I'll kiss LeBron's ass." Barkley laughed.

Everyone present was extremely cold...

Buckley speaks without restraint. Whoever he likes can blow that person to the sky. Similarly, if he doesn't like a person, he can also demote him to the ground.His shocking words are too numerous to count.

This isn't the first time Barkley's "pro-ass manifesto" has been made.As early as when Yao Ming first arrived in the NBA, he had kissed a donkey's butt.

As we all know, Barkley is the famous Yao Hei, but his commentary partner Kenny Smith, as a Rockets star, naturally supports Yao Ming. "Big Mouth"'s famous statement "Kiss Kenny Smith's ass when Yao Ming scored 19 points" shocked the basketball world.

The suspense was solved within 10 days: Yao Ming scored 20 points against the Lakers, and before Barkley kissed his ass, he scored 30 points and 16 rebounds against the Bulls.

On November 2002, 11, it was time for Barkley to fulfill his promise, but Kenny Smith was unwilling to take off his clothes in front of the American audience. Smart Kenny naturally had a way. A donkey was led into the studio.Because the English ass can refer to the buttocks, but also can refer to the donkey.

Buckley was a man who kept his word, and he kissed the donkey.

Today's oath is more terrifying than that of the past.

Knowing that Barkley supported himself during the interview, Hayes saluted the camera and said seriously: "Please rest assured, Sir Charles, the Rockets will definitely win the Cavaliers, and I will never let you down."

What he kept in his heart was——

I will never allow you, a disgusting guy, to do such a disgusting thing.

Of course, Barkley's praise always makes Hayes feel very useful. One thing he also agrees with is that LeBron will be his lifelong enemy.

In the future, LeBron James will transfer to the Heat and form the Super Big Three with Wade and Bosh. Although Hayes doesn't know what they will be like in 2011, they are definitely a huge threat.

More importantly, LeBron's physical fitness completely restrains Hayes. Even the strength that Hayes is proud of can only be compared in half.

The effect of power is mutual.

As Barkley predicted, he won't make it easy for LeBron.

Hayes knew in his heart that James was much better than him in terms of personal ability.

Defensively, both have their strengths.Hayes can play as a guest center, not only can resist people inside, but also can entangle the opponent's outside arrows like Battier. He is strong in single defense, but his ability to assist in defense is not outstanding enough; Steals and chases blocks, and has a strong sense of defense.In the future, he has been selected to the All-Defensive First Team twice.

Comparing the offensive capabilities of the two, LeBron James has an absolute advantage.

The two savages are both in a state of great courage, and the media believed that this would be a battle between dragons and tigers, so the game was broadcast live across the United States.

Before the start of the game, the Rockets also accepted media interviews.

Compared with the calmness and cautiousness of the previous game, McGrady is full of confidence in winning the Cavaliers.He said in an interview before the game: "In any game I can play, the Rockets have never lost to LeBron and his Cavaliers; now with Chuck, we are stronger than before, there is no doubt that we Will continue this record. We are the nemesis of the Cavaliers!"

Yao Ming, who has always been modest and low-key, also agrees with McGrady's point of view. "We're going to win the game at home. The Cavaliers are a great team, but we're even better."

Their words have a certain basis. Except for James, the Cavaliers are at a disadvantage in all positions.

Eric Snow was a good point guard for the 76ers, but he's getting old, not scoring, not assisting, and getting slower.Alstom is stronger than Snow.

At the shooting guard position, the Cavaliers are even weaker. Larry Hughes, who is in serious decline, is injured and needs to rest for a week and cannot play yet.The other players are soy sauce level, who will start is a question.

Power forward Gooden is just a blue-collar, definitely not as good as Hayes, who has played star data.

At the center position, there is no one in the East.The Cavaliers' main center "Big Z" Ilgauskas is one of the best centers in the Eastern Conference. However, the Lithuanian does not seem to be in a good state recently. He only scored 29 points and 9 in 7 minutes against the Hawks. There were 5 turnovers in rebounds, and the previous average of 9.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per game was not outstanding. Compared with Yao Ming, who averaged 22.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, the gap was not small.

Including James himself, he has also heard some criticism recently. Although he scored the highest 31 points and 8 assists in the game with the Hawks yesterday, it was difficult to cover up his weakness of poor shooting.In a previous loss to the New York Knicks, LeBron's poor outside shooting killed the team's chances of winning; in the past six games, James has made 24 of 6 three-pointers.

In the future, James may have no solution to offense, but now, his offense relies more on layups and dunks after breakthroughs. Outside shooting is not reliable, and even mid-range is only average.

"Big Z, Drew (Gooden), you two have a very heavy task today. You must try to defend against the Rockets' inside attack. Are you confident?" Cavaliers coach Mike Brown talked about tactics with a smile.

Ilgauskas and Gooden looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes!"

Mike Brown continued: "Drew, your opponent is Hayes, and that guy is the biggest dark horse this year. Your strength is not inferior to him, and your height still has a big advantage. However, he can shoot from the outside. You Be sure to follow him closely. Big Z, you must resist Yao Ming, and then use your height to limit him."

Gooden is very confident in himself. Although Hayes has good statistics recently, when seeing his height, inside players tend to have confidence in themselves.Ilgauskas has a serious expression on his face. Yao Ming has performed very well this season. Even Duncan failed to gain the upper hand when he met the Rockets.

"Shooting guard position, Shannon (Brown) starts, your physical fitness is very good, I want you to play your speed advantage, pester Battier, he is not good at attacking the ball, you don't let him get open shots. Le Brown, you go to defend McGrady, blow him up, and let them know that you are the strongest now!"

"I will! He's out of date." LeBron James laughed, and his old face, which was extremely inconsistent with his age, suddenly had a twist.

"The Rockets have won 7 consecutive victories. No one in the outside world is optimistic about us. I think this is an opportunity. An opportunity to prove ourselves. Today, we want to end the Rockets' winning streak!" Mike Brown said loudly.

"Beat the Rockets!" LeBron James took the lead in shouting.

"Defeat the Rockets!" The other players were also inspired, and they mustered up their strength to fight the Rockets.

On the other side, Jeff Van Gundy is also taking the time to talk about tactics.

"Chuck, you are the hardest person tonight. I want you to guard James all the time. If he breaks through the pick-and-roll, Battier will cover the defense. If he is slow, foul him and send him to the free throw line. His The breakthrough is very powerful, but the free throw rate is less than 70%, boldly fouling. Yao Ming, after the opening, you mainly attack and single Ilgauskas." Jeff Van Gundy arranged very targeted tactics.

Another weakness of James is his inaccurate free throws.This has something to do with the muscles being too strong. The "cutting the emperor" tactic is a good idea.

And "Big Z" Ilgauskas' playing style is slow and soft, only tall, and Yao Ming can completely defeat him on both offense and defense.

"If Yao is double-teamed and Tracy is attacking, their shooting guard is not strong, and they may use James to defend you. I hope you can beat him and improve our momentum." Jeff Van Gundy said: "Today's game Our lineup has an overall advantage in the game, and it is a home game, so we must not lose."

"We won't lose. Especially Chuck, if you can't prevent James from losing, Barkley will probably come to trouble you. Haha." McGrady laughed.

The Rockets all laughed, feeling very relaxed.

Barkley's interview has gone viral in the US, which is one reason the game will be televised.After Barkley's interview was broadcast, the Cavaliers' approval rating increased by 20 percentage points. There are still many fans who want to see Barkley make a fool of himself.

If the Cavaliers win, will James also lead the donkey out?It's really exciting.
