Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 99 [Alternative all-stars, a real contest! 】

On February 2, after a series of pre-show programs in the previous two days, the "main course" - the East and West All-Star Game debuted in Las Vegas.

Player appearances have been a very entertaining part of the All-Star Game in recent years.But this time the players didn't appear to be in high spirits when they played, and the scene of collective dancing and showing off in the Houston All-Star Game did not appear again.

The audience speculated that maybe there were too many activities in the previous two days, and the players were exhausted.

The fact is just the opposite. The Eastern and Western stars have high fighting spirit. They have officially declared war before the game, so they don't want to use hip-hop to appear on stage.

An hour ago, the stars assembled.LeBron James said: "I have a proposal. How about we have a real contest in this game? I think the audience has seen enough performances in the past two days. No matter how high the score is, it is difficult to be higher than the rookie game No matter how beautiful the dunk is, it is better than the dunk contest. We should show the audience something that has never been done before."

Kobe smiled and said, "Hmph...never? In the All-Star Game last year, were you performing in the second half? If it's a real fight, I have no problem."

As soon as the two said this, most of the stars expressed their support.

Hayes was a little depressed, he wanted to fight for another MVP.But now, the two sides are preparing for a real fight, and the defensive intensity must be very high. It will not be so easy for him to brush up the data.

"Eddie, what do you think?" West coach Mike D'Antoni asked.

Eastern coach Eddie - Jordan immediately stand. "I think it's very good. Let's all play hard. What we want is to win. If anyone doesn't work hard, I will replace him. In this game, the playing time will not be so average. You have to be prepared mentally. I I'm going to treat it like a regular season."

Then he added: "Let me remind everyone. Play hard, this is also an All-Star game. Don't get angry, let alone foul hard. Your players over there should also pay attention to this."

After Eddie Jordan finished speaking, half of the people's eyes focused on Hayes, who was extremely embarrassed.

"What do you look at me for? Am I the most ruthless here?" Hayes smiled wryly.

"Count how many people you have injured this season! You should pay us a Bruce (Bowen). Moreover, when you fouled me, you used too much force." It was Hayes' current teammate who spoke, Tim Duncan.

Hayes looked at this expressionless "naturally dumb", speechless for a while.

When it comes to fouls, the Western District is directly infighting.Eastern stars are all secretly happy.

After arriving in their respective locker rooms, D'Antoni called the Rockets and Spurs together and said: "I don't care what problems you have in the club. Now everyone is in the same group and clean them up. Today, we want to prove that the west is strong and the east is weak. It's just about the team."

D'Antoni has long wanted to watch such a star game.Who doesn't want to know who is better than the stars in the east and west?There has never been a situation where the two sides fought hard for the whole game in the All-Star Game, because the stars are afraid of getting hurt, and they will deliberately conserve their energy for the benefit of the team.This time is different. D'Antoni can see that everyone is eager to try and prove themselves.

What caused this situation was that Hayes scored 101 points in the rookie game.Hayes has created a climax of performances, so that fans look cool, aesthetic fatigue.At the same time, Hayes stimulated the nerves of many big-name stars, and no one felt that he was worse than this rookie who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time.

James is right, no matter how he performs, he will not be more exciting than Hayes' 101 points.If you don't want to be a foil for the star game, you have to show the audience something different, such as winning in a real contest!
The on-site commentary first introduced the Eastern All-Star lineup.

In the initial lineup of this year's All-Stars, two players were injured and unable to play, but according to the requirements of the league, they must attend the scene unless there are special circumstances. Therefore, the commentary first introduced the Nets guard Jason in a suit and leather shoes. - Kidd.Then there was the Eastern All-Star bench lineup. When introducing the starting players, Arenas and James simply made some of their usual iconic gestures on the court, and then hastily passed the scene. Even the "big shark" "O'Neal also had a serious face and failed to bring any surprises to the audience. The appearance of the entire Eastern Conference star team can only be described as plain.

People can only hope that it will be different when the Western All-Stars play, because the team also has Garnett, Marion and other stars who are more capable of showing off.But the audience was disappointed again. The performance of the West was even worse than that of the East. They just waved their hands and had no fun and laughter.

However, after all, the appearance show is just a small episode of the All-Star Game, and the real good show is about to begin.

Eastern starters: point guard Arenas, shooting guard Devin Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Bosh, center O'Neal.

Western starters: point guard Tracy McGrady, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Hayes, power forward Garnett, center Yao Ming.

Although Hayes overwhelmed Duncan in the number of votes, he was selected as the All-Star as the starting power forward.But D'Antoni still put him at the small forward position.The intention is obvious, and that is to use his tonnage against James.

"Chuck, my task is not light, are you nervous?" McGrady patted Hayes on the back and smiled.

"Don't talk about me, Arenas is not so easy to deal with, you should be serious about defending." Hayes moved his arms and kept his eyes on James.

McGrady looked at Arenas with fighting intent in his eyes.McGrady was just here to play, but after watching Hayes score 101 points, he changed his mind.The team's No. [-] scorer is so fierce, he must use more points to prove himself.

The game started.

O'Neal beat Yao Ming with a jump ball, and the East got the ball.James handed the ball to the Arenas organization.Just after Arenas dribbled the ball for half court, McGrady opened his arms and defended him.

It's really moving, it's interesting.Arenas gave the ball to Wade.

Even in the face of Kobe, Wade still has the confidence to overpower his opponent, one-on-one singles is his strong point.Wade didn't use his teammates to pick and roll, and used his speed to quickly wipe out Kobe's defense after changing direction continuously outside the three-point line. However, he failed to get inside because Garnett was already in front of him. The open arms blocked Wade's way forward.

Wade immediately gave the ball to Bosh under the basket, and the latter wanted to dunk with one hand after receiving the ball. Something unexpected happened to the audience.Yao Ming jumped up and blocked Bosh's dunk.

Kobe and Wade scrambled for the ball, and Wade was half a step faster and gave the ball to James.Hayes immediately resisted with his body.

James turned around with difficulty and transferred the ball to O'Neal.O'Neal hit Yao Ming with his back, turned around and shot in the middle, but was blocked by Yao Ming again with a big cap.

The whole audience exclaimed.Yao Ming actually blocked two caps at the beginning!
Garnett picked up the basketball and handed it to Tracy McGrady, who led half court under Arenas' pressure and handed it to Kobe.

Wade has been closely following Kobe, he knows how strong Kobe's offensive ability with the ball is.If you let him accelerate, it will be difficult to defend.

Wade opened his hands, interfering with Kobe's line of sight, trying to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. He couldn't let Kobe dribble the ball comfortably, and that was the purpose.

Kobe leaned on Wade's body with his back while dribbling. He was also very familiar with Wade. This guy is too fast and has good defensive awareness. It is difficult to break through. The best way to deal with him is a jump shot.Kobe raised his hand to signal his teammates to run quickly, then turned around suddenly, and his whole body moved horizontally one step.

If it was a one-on-one, Kobe would be able to get out of the way, but when he was about to get up, he found Arenas standing in front of him.The Eastern Conference double-teamed Kobe in the first round.Kobe Bryant's action has been laid out, and he chose to force a fallback jumper. He believed in his touch, but the ball hit the basket and bounced out.A few hunks at the basket frantically blocked positions, and Hayes rushed in from the outside and rushed to grab the offensive rebound.He jumped up vigorously before the inertia rushed out of bounds, turned around and smashed the ball hard on O'Neal's leg, popping out of the baseline.

O'Neal glared at Hayes.Hayes laughed and said, "Shaker, it's been said that it was a real beating, so bear with it."

"I'll make your kid look good." O'Neill said loudly.

As soon as the two teams started, they fought hard.

Statistics show that this NBA All-Star Game will be broadcast live in 212 countries and regions around the world.

Today, the radio station invited Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and "Magic" Johnson to form the "Fantastic Four" of the live commentary camp.

Barkley rubbed his eyes and said, "Reggie, I have a question. Are we live broadcasting the All-Star game today? Why do I feel like they played in the finals? They double-teamed Kobe just now, right? I'm not sober, still dreaming?"

"You're not dreaming. The two teams are defending a three-two zone defense. The defense is too strict. What's going on? Let's look at this ball first. Yao Ming singled O'Neal, turned around and made a jumper, but he didn't make it. Garnett grabbed it again. Offensive rebounds, jump shot finally," Reggie Miller said.

O'Neal was not at the basket, and the thin Bosh felt like a chicken in a hamburger under the combined attack of Garnett and Hayes.After Garnett won the offensive rebound, he didn't dare to dunk, but went straight to the jump shot. James' block was only a little slower.

"Crazy. These guys played too seriously. This is definitely a regular style of play. James caught the ball this time, and Hayes started to defend close to the halftime." Kenny Smith was surprised.

"Charles, we haven't seen an all-out star game, have we? At that time, we were mostly performances and the defense was very loose. If we play this way, the game is full of highlights. At least you won't feel sleepy because the game is dull and boring. They can also spell out a result and know who is the strongest." Johnson laughed.

Players like to watch the real game, what will the fans think?
