"Hey" Stephenson broke away from the defense and retreated outside the three-point line to demand the ball from Leonard, who was in possession.

"Here" but at the same time, the tall stout who was holding Ellis with his back near the baseline also opened his mouth to ask Leonard for the ball.

There may have been a moment of hesitation, but soon Leonard made his choice: passing the ball to the tall man on the baseline.

Gao Dazhuang also immediately proved that his choice was correct, receiving the ball, turning, stepping, layup, the whole action was done in one go,

With a "brush", Gao Dazhuang scored 2 points again.

107：109

This is the Brooklyn Nets home game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the two teams are tied in regulation time, in overtime, the Bucks' Jennings took the lead to win the first shot, but soon the tall and strong inside and outside shot two consecutive shots to overtake the score.

The tense atmosphere of the game forced the Bucks to make a passing error, and Stephenson was keen to intercept Ellis's cross-pass.

After the steal, Stephenson rushed to the Bucks' basket, Ellis bit Stephenson from the side, and the tall and strong were only one position behind the two.

1V2！

In the fastest first group, the Nets' Stephenson and the Tall Strong team formed a 2-on-1 tie with the Bucks' Ellis, which was an extremely simple fast-break counterattack.

However, I don't know if Stephenson was overconfident in himself or because he didn't have a habit of passing, after stepping into the restricted area, Stephenson chose to force Ellis to go straight to the basket.

"When" despite Stephenson's airy movements, his layup bounced off with Ellis' interference.

"Alas" just as the fans in the arena let out a sigh. The tall and strong followed up from behind in time and flicked the ball gently with his hand.

With a "brush", the tall and strong basket was successful.

"Oh" The sighs in the arena immediately turned into cheers.

At 107:111, after the start of overtime, the tall and strong team scored all six points of the Nets, which also completely stabilized the situation on the court.

Despite repeated misses, Stephenson didn't give up on the attack, but instead fueled his fighting spirit, but that's his character.

The strength of Stephenson's personality is that he can quickly forget about losses and make an immediate comeback in the next round, while the downside is that he often habitually falls into the same trap in a row.

"Smack". It's not. Stephenson hit Jennings again on the baseline, but when he finished suppressing Jennings and forced a shot, he was rewarded with a big hat by Ellis, who came from behind him.

Fortunately, Stephenson reacted quickly. Ferocious saves ensured possession didn't change hands. At this time, Stephenson, who was caught in the opponent's bag, reluctantly passed the ball out.

And the tall and strong who had been waiting for an opportunity to attack on the outside after receiving a pass from Stephenson. A step-back step took the initiative to retreat beyond the three-point line and made a three-point shot before Ellis could pounce.

"Brush" sound. The basketball accurately passes through the center of the net and hits a three-point shot.

107：114

With the tall and strong three-point field, the game gradually lost its suspense, and in the last minute of overtime, neither side attacked.

In the end, with the tall and strong 9 points in overtime, the Brooklyn Nets had a thrilling victory over the visiting Milwaukee Bucks and won three in a row.

Despite the loss, the Milwaukee Bucks played extremely well in this game, especially their "backcourt double guns" were even hotter, Jennings and Ellis combined to score 70 points, but they still regrettably lost to their opponents.

The standout player of the game was undoubtedly the Brooklyn Nets' big man, who continued his good form in the All-Star Game, scoring a game-high 41 points on 15-of-26 shooting, 8-of-9 free throws and 3-of-6 three-pointers, in addition to five rebounds and eight assists, ensuring the team remained on the right path after extensive personnel changes.

The Nets' new power forward Kenneth Faried played well in the first game, contributing a "double-double" of 15 points and 10 rebounds to successfully defend the restricted area, while new center Marcin Gortat also had 13 points and seven rebounds, and small forward Kelly Korver also contributed 13 points.

However, the other two new signings did not play as well as they should, and the highly-expected Kaulwai Leonard missed all three shots and did not score a point, but he grabbed seven rebounds and four assists, as well as two blocks and a steal, and was excellent on the defensive end, and successfully locked the opponent's arrow man in overtime.

And Lance Stephenson, despite scoring 5 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, also made 5 turnovers, and he repeatedly violated the coach's intentions in the game, which was also a big reason why this game fell into such a difficult situation.

In the post-game press conference, head coach Johnson criticized Stephenson by name, but Stephenson himself didn't care.

"Hey, I'm feeling great, I'm happy to play for my hometown team, I'm here to win, and we did it today," Stephenson said to reporters with some "shame".

"I'm glad we won, we have a lot of good players, but this game exposed a lot of our weaknesses, we need to be more tacit with each other, we need to build a good system, that's what we need most at the moment" In contrast, the tall and strong reply to the reporter was much more modest.

……

After a tough home win over the Bucks, the Brooklyn Nets rushed to Milwaukee as their next game against the Bucks was still the Bucks, but the venue was changed from home to away.

Despite arriving in Milwaukee, the Nets' hard-fought victory in the last game made the Nets dare not underestimate their opponents, and upon arriving at the station, Coach Johnson immediately organized the players to devote themselves to pre-game training.

Due to the tight schedule, Coach Johnson did not arrange a high-intensity confrontation training. The team's joint practice is also based on running, passing and shooting from point to point.

However, before the end of the training, Coach Johnson intentionally or unintentionally selected several groups of players for one-on-one practice, including the two players in the team's No. 2 position, Gao Dazhuang and Stephenson.

Stephenson seemed to enjoy the heads-up with the tall and strong, especially when he scored the first shot with a menacing layup, and he celebrated with a "shake his head", apparently healing the scar and forgetting the pain is his "characteristic".

"Bang", just on Stephenson's second attack, he still chose to make a layup, but this time what was waiting for him was a tall and strong hat.

Next, switch to a tall and strong attack.

"Pop", "Pop", "Pop", "Pop", the tall and strong ....... kept showing Stephenson a dazzling interspersed dribble, after gradually approaching Stephenson.

Tall and strong speed. A change of direction stride cuts vertically from its left-hand side into the inside line. Although Stephenson retreated sharply, he still failed to stop the breakthrough of the tall and strong, and almost fell himself.

With a "brush", the tall and strong easily won the first goal.

1：1

Second ball. After seeing the tall and strong breakthrough kilometer. Stephenson winced intentionally. However, at this time, the corner of Gao Dazhuang's mouth smiled slightly, and after a probing feint, Gao Dazhuang jumped decisively near the free throw line. Hit Stephenson by surprise.

"Brush", in the case of no one marking, the tall and strong shot has always maintained an extremely high shooting rate.

1：2

The third shot was simpler, the tall and strong didn't even make any feints, nor did he choose to break through, but forced his shot directly outside the three-point line.

Despite Stephenson's best efforts to stop it, the tall and strong shot was too fast.

"Brush" is not as soon as possible, but it is still very accurate! At this time, Stephenson looked at the tall and strong with some helplessness.

1：3

After being poured three goals in a row by Tall Zhuang, Stephenson became more and more entangled in defense, close to the fear of being sudden, far away and afraid of throwing, but when Stephenson hesitated, Tall and Strong did not have so many scruples, a false and then fierce speed, a lunge left Stephenson behind.

By the time Stephenson turned around, the tall and strong had already risen into the air, and with a "brush", the tall and strong scored again.

1：4

"Ah~~~" Stephenson obviously hadn't been so ravaged, only to see him clapping his hands violently, roaring loudly, and posing as if he was dead.

However, Gao Dazhuang was obviously not intimidated by Stephenson's "momentum", and he also understood the coach's intention in arranging this "bullfight", which was to polish Stephenson's "arrogance".

"Peng" and "Peng" chose to fight with their backs this time, and the strong force hit Stephenson again and again, but when Stephenson gritted his teeth and was ready to fight to the end with Tall Zhuang, Tall and Strong suddenly spun.

After a deft unloading, the tall and strong bypassed Stephenson's defense, jumped high, and with a "clang", the tall and strong smashed the dunk.

1：5

In the end, Gao Dazhuang scored 5 goals in a row and easily defeated Stephenson 5:1, successfully leaving a little "shadow" in Stephenson's heart.

The other players looked at Stephenson with some sympathy, Coach Johnson showed a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth, and Stephenson himself pretended to be "nothing" and picked up a ball and silently practiced shooting on the side, like a child who "made mistakes".

……

On the day of the away game against the Bucks, the NBA officially announced the first issue of the power list after the All-Star break, the solid San Anthony Spurs continued to occupy the top position with the best record in the league before the All-Star break, the Miami Heat climbed to second place this time, creating the best result since the start of the season, and the Brooklyn Nets are still firmly in fourth place in the East.

1. San Antonio Spurs

Record: 42-12

The Spurs' GDP was finally back to full health last week, but they will have to rely on Coy Leonard to beat the Cavaliers. The Spurs have a 23-4 record since Dec. 22, and All-Star Weekend will give the injury-plagued team at the core a rest.

2. Miami Heat

Record: 36-14

Last week, the Heat overtook the Thunder to become the team with the most offensive firepower this season, and then they won in direct conversations with the Thunder, but in the next two weeks, the Heat will face back-to-back challenges from the Bulls and Knicks.

3. Oklahoma City Thunder

Record: 39-14

After losing to the Heat, the Thunder finally don't have to worry about meeting the Heat until June this year, but if the two teams do meet again this June, the Thunder's chances of winning are still slim, and at the same time, Kevin Durant still seems to be far from the first regular season MVP trophy of his career this year, because LeBron James's performance this year is simply impeccable.

4. Los Angeles Clippers

Record: 39-17

Chris Paul's return to health has made it look like the Clippers are finally back to normal, and they have won four straight games since CP3 returned, and of course, the Clippers have a difficult time in the competitive West.

5. Memphis Grizzlies

Record: 33-18

Rudy Gay has made consecutive outbreaks at his new club, the Raptors, but the Grizzlies are becoming more and more consistent without Gay, especially on the offensive end, where they have scored 108.5 points per 100 possessions in the last four long games.

6. New York Knicks

Record: 32-18

Earlier this month, Tyson Chandler said that the Knicks were going to get back on defense after the All-Star break, and as Chandler said, the Knicks really haven't focused on defense lately, conceding 110.5 points per 100 possessions in the last four long games.

7. Denver Nuggets

Record: 33-21

Ty Lawson averaged 28 points and 9 assists per game in the last three games, shooting 62% from the field, but the Nuggets suffered three in a row, especially after Andre Iguodala was traded, and the Nuggets had to find a way to solve the defensive problem.

8. Indiana Pacers

Record: 32-21

The Pacers' offense was quite efficient last season when Granger and Paul George were on the court together, and in fact, since January 27 of this year, the Pacers' offense has been at the top of the league, scoring 107.7 points per 100 possessions.

9. Brooklyn Nets

Record: 32-21

Led by All-Star Game MVP Tall Strong, the Brooklyn Nets are steadily moving up the rankings, and after a series of trades, the Nets have become younger, more energetic, and more difficult to deal with, and the sky is the limit for them.

10. Chicago Bulls

Record: 30-22

Derrick Rose will definitely keep his name in the history of the Bulls in the future, so whether he can return this season actually doesn't have much of an impact, but for the Eastern Conference playoffs, whether Rose returns or not will have a big impact, and the Bulls with Rose will become a big problem for other teams again.

The Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets followed...... Charlotte Bobcats and Orlando Magic are at the bottom of the league.

The Brooklyn Nets have chased their record to the same level as the Indiana Pacers after winning three in a row, and if they can win Milwaukee again today, Brooklyn will break into the top three in the East. (To be continued......)
