Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 97 [Score Record of Maximum Moisture]

In the end, the second-year rookie won 162 to 130.

Hayes played 34 minutes and was the first rookie. He took most of the team's shots and made 48 of 32 shots, including 32 of 24 three-pointers and 18 of 13 free throws. He scored 101 points.He broke a lot of records in NBA history, such as personal scoring in a single game, personal 3-pointers in a single game, personal half-time [-]-pointers, rookie game scoring, etc.

The funny thing is that Hayes, who is known for his comprehensiveness in the regular season, only had 2 poor rebounds and no assists in this game.No assists is a good explanation of how his 101 points came about.

Hayes won the rookie game MVP trophy, enjoying the cheers of the fans.It was like celebrating winning the championship in the stadium, and big-name NBA stars also came forward to congratulate.Originally a rookie challenge that didn't attract much attention, it evolved into a star-making movement, a game recorded in history.

Everyone watching this game has a common opinion that the All-Stars in Las Vegas are more entertaining.

Hayes came to the fore in this game, before his status was only the Rockets' third leader, but after this game, there is no doubt that his popularity will be improved again.

After the game, under the escort of a group of security guards, Hayes was able to safely enter the press conference without being knocked down and crushed by the crazy reporters.He was the only focus of the audience. As soon as he sat down, the reporters began to ask questions one by one.

Reporter: "Chuck, how do you feel about breaking a lot of records today? Anything to say?"

Facing the camera, Hayes calmed down and said with a smile: "It feels good, great. I want to say to all fans and friends, don't be crazy about me, brother is just a legend."

There was a burst of laughter in the venue.

Reporter: "Chuck, did you score this high before entering the NBA?"

"I never dreamed of getting such a high score. The rookie game was an exhibition game. The defense was very lax. I got a lot of shots...and it happened. It was really unexpected."

Reporter: "In the last few minutes, all the fans shouted your name again. In the second half, people cheered every time you took the ball. Were you surprised?"

"In the last few minutes, they called my name. I was a little surprised. I didn't count my shots. I didn't expect to score so many points. I just felt that I was very accurate. How did I shoot? When I was off the field, David Lee told I broke the record, I was taken aback."

Reporter: "How do you feel about breaking Wilt Chamberlain's long-standing record and becoming the player with the highest score in a single game in NBA history?"

"It's a surprise. Don't compare me with Chamberlain. It's a coincidence that I can score so many points. There are too many reasons."

Reporter: "Oh? What do you think are the reasons?"

"Even if I don't say it, the experts can see it. The first is the support of Coach Oliver. When I was replaced, the fans wanted me to play, so I discussed with the coach and hoped to play for a while. He asked me if I wanted to play. How long, I say 35 minutes, because I want to make the fans happy. Then he gave me time, and arranged for my teammates to pass the ball to me. The second is defense. The rookie game is a show. From the beginning to the end, no one arranged for me to double-team me, and I didn't even have a close defense. I always caught the ball, turned around, and shot with ease. Back me up and everybody else just pass me the ball."

Reporter: "Chuck, you are too humble. You must have strength to score so many points, right?"

"It's shooting accurately, which is more important than anything else. I am in great shape today. However, I think I have also broken a record, which is the record for the most watery scoring in history. If Kobe and Tracy are allowed to play in this kind of defense If you play down the ball, you will definitely score more points, and I am luckier.”

Hayes didn't know how Chamberlain scored 100 points, but Kobe's 81 points and McGrady's 52 points in three quarters were much more difficult than his.If Hayes is double-teamed and chooses to play hard, it will be difficult to score more than 30 points.

After the game, family and friends congratulated together, and Hayes' phone calls never stopped.But Hayes felt that he should see the reality clearly and not be proud.

Reporter: "Chuck, in the regular season, you averaged less than 20 points per game, and you didn't take many shots, but your shooting percentage was very high. After the All-Star Game, will you increase your shots?"

"The Rockets have many excellent players. Yao Ming and Tracy are both capable of scoring more than 30 points. We have a clear division of labor. It depends on the coach's arrangement and who the opponent is. When the opponent is struggling to defend me, I will definitely Step up your offense."

Reporter: "When you left the field, almost all the fans stood up and applauded you, and many people took pictures. What did you think then?"

"I'm very happy. Everything I do is to make the fans happy. I have been thinking about how to perform on Star Weekend a week ago and repay the fans for their support."

Reporter: "At the end of the game, you walked past Miss Swift. What did she say to you when she hugged you? Can you disclose this?"

"You can say that. She said: 'You are so handsome today. From now on, just fight like this. Don't go inside, it's not safe.'"

Reporter: "Haha, she is concerned about you and worried about your injury. What do you think?"

"Of course I still want to focus on the inside. What I'm best at is not scoring, but hand-to-hand combat with strong people and rebounding. The inside is my territory. As for safety issues, that's something that opponents should think about."

Reporter: "Chuck, if your free throws were better, you would have scored more today. Do you have any regrets?"

"My free throw percentage has been solid. No regrets."

What Hayes thought was, when I went inside to play, I didn't feel anyone touch me, as if someone took a look at me and I was sent to the free throw line.If I am still dissatisfied, is there still justice?Are there still rules?

Reporter: "Michael Jordan was cheering you on the sidelines today. Seeing your performance, he was as excited as Coach Van Gundy. Do you know this? Before the game, he talked to you. What did you talk about?"

"Michael is my idol, and we are also very good friends. Before the game, he taught me a few words. He told me that this is an exhibition game. Don't give up your phone to your teammates. If you have the opportunity, you should vote yourself. If you can't win the MVP , I just didn’t qualify. Then I shot desperately, and I shot when I had the opportunity. If Michael hadn’t talked to me before the game, I couldn’t play such an amazing game.”

Reporter: "Did Michael say that you were his successor? As we all know, Charles Barkley often said that you were his successor. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

"This is really not the case. Michael and I are completely different types of players. He is a well-known flying man, and I have never been able to fly. The only thing we are similar is that we both want to win. And Charles, he is also my idol, But I didn't want to be like that player, I was Chuck Hayes, a guy who wasn't good enough physically, but gave it his all every night."

Reporter: "Then under what circumstances do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

"No matter how big the score was behind, the team did not give up, and I played at the level, helping the team recover the score and win. I have a special sense of accomplishment in such a game."

Reporter: "Chuck, what do you think has allowed you to make great strides this season?"

"In addition to practicing skills, I think there is also a mentality. In fact, many players have similar skills. The gap between ordinary players and stars is like a layer of window paper. Once it is pierced, it will be another realm. But if you want to change from a star to a super player It's much more difficult to be a star, it's a leap."

Reporter: "Do you have any goals this season? For example, regular season MVP, rebounding champion? These are not far from you, and you are now ranked fifth in the MVP list."

"I am ranked No.5, but there are Yao Ming and Tracy in front of me, so I don't think there is anything to contend for. The main thing is to play well. As long as the MVP is won by the Rockets, it is a success. Rebounding depends on the state. It would be better if you got it.”

Reporter: "Last question, do you think the Rockets will win the championship this year?"

Hayes thought about it, and felt that the schedule was over half, and the lineup was neat, so there was no need to be humble anymore.He laughed and said, "How many people still think that we can't win the championship? Let others discuss this issue."

After the press conference, Hayes returned to the hotel.

After washing up, he changed into his pajamas.Someone rings the doorbell. It's Taylor Swift.

"Chuck, you are so great. With a record of 101 points, as long as there is basketball in the world, people will remember you hundreds of years later. If only I became a great man like you." Taylor stood At the door, he said excitedly.

Only then did Hayes realize that breaking the record is beneficial. Although the scoring record is very watery, it is still a record. He can enter the history books.

"I'm so great, don't you plan to leave at night, just come to my room to sleep?" Hayes joked.

"I'll think it over……"

Well?consider?Taylor said something that made Hayes fantasize.

"After thinking about it, no!" Taylor laughed.

"I knew you would have said no." Hayes sighed and said with a smile, "Would you like to come in and have a sit?"

"I won't go in. I just wanted to congratulate you. Tongxuan originally wanted to congratulate you, but after the competition, the businessman who wanted to cooperate with you almost rang her phone. She answered the phone for two hours without stopping. The battery is out. She is going to bed first, so you should take you to rest early. I will give you a kiss, good night!" Taylor said, kissed Hayes quickly on the face, turned and left.

Hayes returned to the room, lying on the bed, recalling the previous game.

There were so many things going on today that Hayes felt as if a week had passed.But he didn't feel tired at all, and he couldn't sleep because of the excitement.
