Chapter 49 Jack vs Hayes
"Hey! Man, did you see that the hottest newcomer in the league, Michael Jack, is on the field. Do you think they will perform as well in this game as they did in the last game? In the last game, Michael Jack But you won the ultra-luxury data of 20+20?" The commentators on the scene chatted with each other.

"It's possible, but I think it will be very difficult for Jack, because the Rockets are not like some third-rate teams like the New York Knicks. The Rockets' interior is the top in the league, Yao Ming, Mutombo, Hayes and others are not well-known. Where can a rookie be their opponent?"

"Then you mean that Jack will have to work very hard if he wants to get the data from the previous game in this game?"

"No, no, buddy, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that it was impossible for Jack to score 20+20 in this game. Do you know the concept of 20+20, buddy? It’s the scoring average of an All-Star power forward! That rookie Jack has just played a few games, do you think he has this ability?”

"But, didn't he win the last game?"

"Well, he got 20+20 data in the last game, so it can only be said that Jack is really very lucky. If the last game was against the Rockets, I guess it would be very good if he could only get 10+ Not bad. The Rockets will definitely limit his scoring to less than 10 points in this game. Look!"

……

The game continues.

Jack attaches great importance to this game, and he treats this game very carefully.But the more he was like this, the worse he behaved.

First, when defending Hayes, he made a defensive foul and was hit by Hayes with a two plus one.

Later, when he was still assisting in the defense, Alston made a defensive foul.

In 1 minute, Jack fouled twice, and Jack's two mistakes were all converted into points by his opponent.

At this time, the Hornets were already behind in points, and they fell behind even more.

Byron's suspension adjustment this time was a failure.From the current point of view, it does not have the expected effect at all.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 13 to 27, and the Hornets had fallen behind by 14 points.

Seeing that the Hornets had fallen behind by so many points before the end of the first quarter, the fake fans at the scene vented all their resentment on Jack and Byron.They completely ignored whether Jack had a good performance up front.

"Byron, replace Michael Jack..." the cries rose.

"Byron, do you know how to employ people? Shit!"

Immediately, the boos of the Hornets kept rising.

It's no wonder that fans have such a heart, the feeling of spending so much money to watch their team being abused is indeed very uncomfortable.

There is no way, who told Jack to make so many mistakes?Now it can only act as a scapegoat.

Seeing Jack's poor performance, the commentator at the scene would naturally not be polite to Jack, "Well, it seems that Jack is just one of the many shooting stars in the league? After this game, he will Get beaten back. Beating Duncan is just bullshit."

"Yeah! The basic skills are not solid, but it is very difficult to mix in this league! I guess Jack will be taken down by Byron and frozen. He will not get a chance to play. You see the fans booing so loudly. It is indeed very rare for a home fan to boo his home team's fans so loudly."

"If I were Byron Scott, I would take him down without hesitation and let David West go up. David West doesn't know how many times better than this rookie. Ah! Besides, he can also play pick-and-roll with Jack. Or Anderson, which drug addict is better than Jack!"

At this time, those fake fans and those big-mouthed media completely forgot Jack's outstanding performance in the previous few games.Now Jack only made one or two mistakes, and immediately criticized Jack, and Jack's scolding continued.

The cameras of the reporters on the sidelines have already recorded Jack's bad appearance. As long as the game is over, these photos will be released immediately to slander this rebellious rookie.Who told you to be so arrogant?This is the price you must pay for your own arrogance.

However, what surprised some other so-called experts and reporters was that Jack was not substituted, Jack was still on the field, and Byron had no intention of substituting at all.

The Rockets attack.

Alston of the Rockets dribbles past half court.

Jack also stood in his defensive position.Jack was also woken up by the scolding from the stadium.

He clearly realized that he had to use his full firepower today, and he had to take good care of the mouths of those media and pseudo-fans.

After Hayes escaped from Jack just now, he decided that Jack was very easy to bully.Seeing that Alstom dribbled the ball past half court, he immediately got into position and asked for the ball, wanting to single Jack.

Alstom also cooperated with Hayes very much, and Alstom handed the ball to Hayes who succeeded in the inside position.

Hayes holds the ball and faces Jack with his back. Facing Jack's defense, Hayes looks very disdainful.While testing Jack with his footsteps, he spat trash talk at Jack, "Rookie, doesn't it feel very uncomfortable to be hit by me in two plus one? I'm not afraid to tell you that I will hit you again, haha... because you are like It's like a soft persimmon, I can pinch it as I want. It feels really good to hit you!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come here if you have the ability! Dwarf!" Jack also responded very bluntly.

Hayes' height has always been a flaw. Jack bruised his scar severely. How can you tell him not to be angry?

"Hmph, rookie, soft persimmon, you will regret what you said later, I promise."

This time Jack simply ignored Hayes.I'm too lazy to talk to you, come here if you want to!

Hayes saw that no one came to double-team, Hayes was going to single Jack.Jack has learned the lesson from last time, how could Hayes succeed in singles so easily this time?
Hayes was very steady and very low, and he gave Jack his left shoulder.

The purpose of Hayes doing this is to keep Jack away from himself.At the same time, Hayes' right hand is in control of the ball, trying to eat Jack from right to left.

This time Jack also fought hard. Jack steadied his horse. The muscles in Jack's calves were tense. He did not hesitate to defend the dignity of his restricted area with his hands. posture.

Hayes couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw Jack put on a posture of fighting to the death.I thought: Is this guy dying?So hard!

At this moment, Hayes simply stopped his footsteps, held the ball in both hands, and stabilized his center of gravity. At this moment, Hayes' shooting space was completely blocked by Jack.

Hayes had no choice but to make a forced shot at this time.

Hayes shook a few times, but Jack didn't take him seriously at all, and was not moved at all.

Hayes had no choice, the 24 seconds of the attack were coming, there was no way, his legs stretched straight, his legs took off with strength, and he pulled out a jumper.

Hayes himself can't jump very high, and now he is pinned by Jack, it is difficult for him to jump high?

"Hmph..." Jack snorted coldly in his heart, with a very disdainful expression on his face.

After Jack judged the timing of Hayes' shot, he jumped up high.The height of Jack's jump was very high, twice as high as Hayes.

"Quick cover!" Jack growled with a tyrannical face.Fully stretched his body in the air, forming an indestructible city wall in the air.
