Chapter 194: 27 points at halftime, unstoppable

Hardaway turned and ran away, the lights above his head shining and the cheers of the fans in the stands filling his ears.

A voice suddenly rang in my ear: "Do you think you have any hope of winning the championship this season?"

Hadaway turned his head sharply and looked.

no one.

He was also surprised to find that there seemed to be no one around him. There were no teammates, no fans, and he was the only one on the empty stadium.

Thinking back to the question just now, it seems that a reporter asked himself this.

At this time, there was another sound of basketball hitting the ground ahead.

Hardaway followed the sound and saw a child with his back to him under the backboard in front of him, beating the basketball and then shooting the ball with difficulty.

Hardaway was stunned and felt that this child was very familiar.

He subconsciously wanted to step forward to see who this child was, but suddenly there was another voice beside him.

"how could I know."

Turning his head suddenly, it was Chen Yu who stood beside him with his hands in his pockets, looking ahead, and then said: "But if you really want to compare him with you, I feel that you lack some competitiveness, or vigor. I remember when you first entered the league, your name was all over the newspapers, saying how many points you scored and how awesome you were when you won Rookie of the Month."

"You must have been young and energetic at that time, but in the past few years, you have been tortured by injuries, and your energy seems to have been worn away. I remember that when you had to have surgery last year, you were still afraid. Now that I think about it, It’s incredible.”

"But he is different. He is 39 years old. I really can't imagine how he has the courage to come back at this age. I think not many people can have this kind of confidence."

Saying that, Chen Yu turned his head: "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously. By the way, why do you suddenly ask about this? Didn't you play well in the game the day before yesterday?"

Hardaway looked at Chen Yu blankly. He remembered that this should be at the beginning of last year's season. At that time, Jordan was doing recovery training at Chen Yu's clinic. After the first preseason game, he came to the clinic for a review and found Chen Yu. When Yu arrived, Chen Yu was watching Jordan training.

I also watched on the sidelines for a while, and then I didn't know what to think. I suddenly asked Chen Yu a question, asking what the gap was between himself and Jordan.

After all, he is also Jordan's designated successor.

That's what Chen Yu answered at that time.

"Energy?"

After a long season, Hardaway has almost forgotten this matter.

Looking up again, Hardaway found that Chen Yu had disappeared.

Around me, I don’t know when there was another huge cheer.

Many voices called his nickname.

Pennies, pennies…

Someone was calling him from behind, and Hardaway turned his head suddenly. It was Jordan. He was holding the AMVP trophy and wanted to hand it to him.

Hardaway subconsciously took the trophy and was hugged by Jordan.

"Don't always think about being me, you are yourself." Jordan's voice came to my ears.

Hardaway frowned and subconsciously raised his head to ask Jordan why he said that, when a shout suddenly came from his ears.

"Guard him!"

Hardaway was agitated, and the sound of cheering like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came to his ears.

In front of him, Finlay knocked him away with the ball, trying to pass him by.

Hardaway stretched out his finger almost reflexively and poked.

Got it!

The basketball rolled down, and Hardaway had already rushed out before he could think about what had just happened.

Reach out and pick up the basketball, there is no obstacle in front of you.

There was a sound of rapid breathing from behind.

But Hardaway ran faster and faster, and Nash had already pounced on him from the left.

After finishing the ball, he took a sharp step to the left and passed Nash. Hardaway jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with his left hand.

The entire arena erupted in an instant, with huge cheers almost breaking through the ceiling.

Hardaway landed, still a little confused.

He looked up blankly at everyone, and everyone on the bench was cheering excitedly.

Among the crowd of heads, Hardaway locked onto a figure.

It was Chen Yu, standing up to applaud himself.

"Energy?"

Hardaway's frown relaxed and he ran away quickly.

Courtside.

Chen Yu sat down again, and Nelson said next to him: "Anfernee is in good condition."

This time, he scored 5 points and a steal, helping the Suns catch up with the score in one breath.

Chen Yu smiled and didn't answer.

But in Chen Yu's view, this is what Hardaway should be like, just score more points.

The Suns now have Kidd, and Hardaway doesn't really need to worry about the organization. His responsibility is to score more points.

Hardaway, who scored 5 points in a row, had no intention of stopping. In fact, he played more proactively.

When people pass half-court, they reach out for the ball.

He wants to attack with the ball.

Beating the basketball with high frequency and rhythm, suddenly accelerating, and with a simple change of direction, he passed by Finley and went straight to the basket.

The basket was a little crowded.

In this game, the Mavericks' defensive strategy was similar to the previous game, still shrinking the defense to block the Suns' breakthrough.

LaFrentz is ready to give Hardaway a big hat at any time.

Nowitzki also approached the penalty area and blocked Olajuwon to prevent Hardaway from passing the ball to Olajuwon at the last moment.

But Hardaway didn't have any intention of passing the ball. As he got closer to the basket, he became faster and faster.

LaFrentz's eyes widened suddenly, this guy was going to dunk.

Crazy!

There are people under the basket. But Hardaway didn't seem to see it. At the last moment, he adjusted his direction, looked at the space, jumped up without hesitation, faced the leaping LaFrenz, and roared the ball into the basket.

The entire American West Arena was quiet for a moment.

Chen Yu widened his eyes and looked at Hardaway who fell with LaFrentz in disbelief.

You are too brave, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?

The key is to let him dunk it!

The next moment, the stands were filled with excitement, and the DJ on the scene also extended his voice, exclaiming that this was a wonderful dunk.

Olajuwon stepped forward and pulled Hardaway up, and patted Hardaway's back excitedly. He had a strong feeling that something was wrong with this kid today. It felt like he had been stimulated and was going crazy.

He guessed right, Hardaway went crazy.

In the first quarter, Hardaway made sudden shots, drew fouls, and was omnipotent. He made 6 of 5 in a single quarter, made all 4 free throws, and scored 15 points.

The Suns only scored 26 points in the first quarter.

"Take it easy." Taking advantage of the pause, Chen Yu came to Hardaway and hurriedly scanned his body with his all-seeing eyes.

no problem.

However, he plays so fiercely, even if there are people in the basket, he is actually very easy to get injured.

Hardaway grinned: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Chen Yu nodded, turned around to go back to his seat, stopped again, turned and looked at Hardaway again.

Not sure if it was his own misunderstanding, but Chen Yu felt that Hardaway's eyes were a little different today.

There was a little murderous look in his eyes.

After a quick two-minute break, Hardaway came on again.

The Suns have many veterans, so it stands to reason that they should rotate as many people as possible to share the pressure of the game and give the main starting players a longer rest.

But this is the playoffs. If you relax and don't fight hard, your opponent will not let you go.

In the last game, Nowitzki played 43 minutes and Finley played 44 minutes, almost the entire game. In the third quarter, the Mavericks were at most ten points behind. If it was the regular season, the Mavericks might have given up, but this is In the playoffs, I didn't see the Mavericks giving up.

So when we got to the Suns, there were also 7 people, which was enough to support the rotation of 8 people.

In the last game, Kidd led the defense from the outside and only rested for 3 minutes. Now that Hardaway is in a hot state, Skiles will not waste his state.

As soon as Hardaway came on the court, he was heavily defended.

The Mavericks began to double-team Hardaway.

However, Hardaway has no intention of giving up and is still attacking.

He uses his brain when playing, is full of intelligence, and can always come up with some unexpected offensive methods.

As soon as he caught the ball and found Najera rushing towards him, Hardaway raised his hand and made a motion to pass the ball to Marion.

Najera turned around reflexively.

But when he turned around, he realized that Hardaway had not passed the pass and that he had been deceived.

But Hardaway had already started to take advantage of the situation, and against Finley's defense, he forced himself to jump up and shoot the mid-range shot.

His hand felt frighteningly hot today. Finley jumped up with all his strength, his fingers almost poked into his eyes, but the basketball still got into the basket accurately.

"so similar."

Off the court, Nelson murmured softly.

Chen Yu asked curiously: "What does it look like?"

Nelson pointed to the court: "I mean, look at Anfernee playing, he looks so much like Jordan."

Jordan was like this now. As soon as he catches the ball, he is immediately double-teamed by two people. He gets to the basket, intercepts back and forth, and three or four people come up.

But Jordan is still attacking and scoring, which is simply unreasonable.

Today, Hardaway also showed such momentum.

Even more agile than Jordan, because Hardaway has too many deceptive tricks and can always deceive defenders and get shooting opportunities.

Chen Yu looked up.

Hardaway was once again double-teamed. He feinted a shot, passed the ball to Olajuwon, and then quickly got out between the two and cut to the basket.

Olajuwon returned the pass just right, Hardaway jumped up and made a one-handed chop.

"I don't know if it looks like him or not. Anyway, I feel like he might get a high score today. By the way, what's his personal scoring record?" 15 points in the first quarter, and ten more points in the second quarter. A few minutes to go.

It was almost 20-30 minutes at halftime, but it felt like 40 points at the end of the whole game was less.

Nelson thought for a while and said: "I remember it was 42 points. It seems that the highest score in the playoffs was that many, which was the 96-97 season, when the playoffs averaged 31 points per game."

Chen Yu asked no more questions and looked at Hardaway running on the court, feeling emotional in his heart.

Who would have thought that a year ago, this guy was desperate to survive and had the idea of retiring.

In the second quarter, despite the Mavericks' pursuit and interception, Hardaway still contributed 12 points.

27 points at halftime.

Old Nelson's whole body was in bad shape.

Before the game, because of Ewing's suspension, Nelson really thought this game was safe.

Of course, Nelson considered Hardaway.

But Hardaway has never been a player with explosive scoring ability like Iverson. He is a point guard and prefers to pass the ball.

Averaging 25 points per game may be his limit.

But who would have thought that Hardaway scored 27 points in the half.

Nelson looked up and glanced at the score.

57:50.
