51-26, this is the current record of the Brooklyn Nets, with five games left in the season, the Brooklyn Nets are leading the "city rivals" New York Knicks by 2 wins.

Now Brooklyn has become the second largest media "focus" area in the East after Miami, with dozens of reporters waiting outside for even a normal training session.

"Da Zhuang, there are still 5 games in the regular season, do you have any strategy? Will you give the main players a break? As soon as he returned to the locker room after training, he was immediately surrounded by the swarming media.

Tall and strong finally sat back in his chair, he took out a towel to wipe the sweat, and then smiled and gave his strategy: "My idea is that we will win 4 of the remaining 5 games, and then we will definitely not lose the last one, yes, it is absolutely impossible."

The tall and strong answer made the reporters on the scene laugh.

"Da Zhuang, according to the schedule, the Brooklyn Nets will play your former club Houston Rockets in the penultimate round. You know, they're now competing with the Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz, and Golden State Warriors," a reporter suddenly asked.

"No, we are all professional players" Tall and Strong shook his head decisively and replied: "I have an eye on them, they are in a good position at the moment, and I believe they will make the playoffs this year"

The Brooklyn Nets started training today at 9:30 local time and practiced until 12:30 p.m. After nearly 3 hours of practice, although the training intensity was not small, Gao Dazhuang still found Kauvai Leonard at the end of the training and had a "bullfight".

"Tall and strong, you seem to have a tough time winning in today's 'bullfight', and Kauvai Leonard seems to have found a knack for defense," a Brookley local reporter said in an interview.

"But he still won, his offense was unstoppable," Kauvai Leonard, who was next to the tall locker room, unexpectedly interjected, provoking a slam from the reporters.

"I'm not surprised at all by his performance, Leonard is one of the strongest outside defenders in the league. He's not only fast, he's powerful. I'll call him Spider-Man now, and he'll haunt you like a spider," said the tall man with a smile and patted Couwai Leonard on the shoulder.

In cartoons and movies, Spider-Man is extremely brave, considering Cowai Leonard's big hands and long arms. It's a very apt nickname for him.

"Spider-Man. A good nickname," the reporter who asked the question kept gesturing in his notebook. It is conceivable that the nickname "Spider-Man" will appear in the newspapers of Brooklyn tomorrow.

The hottest team in the league at the moment, the defending champion Miami Heat, has a big three: "Little Emperor" LeBron James, "The Flash" Dwyane Wade, and "Dragon King" Chris Bosh.

It was the efforts of these three top stars in the league that allowed the Miami Heat to lock up the league's No. 1 record ahead of schedule and allowed the Miami Heat to play an astonishing 27-game winning streak. The Miami Heat, with the "Big Three", is undoubtedly the strongest presence in the league.

The biggest threat to the Miami Heat in the East is undoubtedly the Brooklyn Nets, and when it comes to Brooklyn, Gao Dazhuang is undoubtedly a "giant" recognized by fans and experts, and the former All-Star Deron Williams can barely be counted as a "giant".

And Kenneth Faried, the "half-orc" who had the highest expectations in the previous recruitment, did not play the level expected by fans and the media, although his statistics are not bad, but he is still a little short of the level of the "giant".

But in the opinion of ESPN expert Ethan Strauss, if the Brooklyn Nets are to put together the "Big Three", it is better to count on the "facial paralysis" Kaulvay Faried than the "orc" Kenneth Faried.

Strauss's view is mainly demonstrated from four aspects:

One is the ability to rebound, at present, Kawhai Leonard can contribute 8.5 rebounds in 31 minutes of playing time, NBA official website expert Cooper Moore Head analysis pointed out that Kawhai Leonard's long arms and big palms give him an innate advantage in the fight for rebounds, and he is very good at rushing for rebounds due to his lack of height, averaging 8.5 rebounds per game 4 out of the frontcourt rebounds, and his frontcourt rebounding skills are definitely among the top in the league.

The second is defensive ability, Kawhai Leonard is definitely an underrated defender, which also benefits from his long arms and big palms, and he is the league's top wing defender with his combination of speed, confrontation and awareness.

The third is the projection ability, Kawhai Leonard's tough defense often makes people overlook his scoring ability, in fact, he is still a good shooter.

In addition to cutting to the basket, Kawhai Leonard shoots more than half of his mid-to-long-range jumpers, and at that distance, he shoots 50%+ from the field, and he is averaging 17.7 points per game so far, second only to the team's taller scorer.

Fourth, efficiency, generally speaking, the more possession, the better the player plays, so it is difficult to judge Kawhai Leonard by his statistics or efficiency value, because his ball possession is obviously inferior to the two of Tall and Strong.

But despite this, Kawhai Leonard has a true shooting percentage of 58 per cent this season, which is a telling number, and he is definitely a very efficient player and he has been able to step up when it mattered.

To sum up, ESPN expert Ethan Strauss is very optimistic about Kawhai Leonard's future with the Brooklyn Nets, and he not only believes that Leonard will become the "Big Three" in Brooklyn, but is likely to surpass Deron Williams and become the second largest presence on the team after the tall and strong.

Ethan Strauss's remarks immediately caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, but soon, Couwai Leonard "extinguished" this senseless controversy with his actions.

In the Brooklyn Nets' home game against the Detroit Pistons, starting point guard Deron Williams missed the game due to the flu. Tall and strong played the team's point guard for a while, while Kawhai Leonard also played the longest minutes of the season with 39 minutes.

There is a huge difference in the strength of the two teams, but the Detroit Pistons, who have a young interior line, do not want to give up the game easily, so after the game starts, the competition on the court is still very fierce.

The tall and strong scored the first four points of the Brooklyn Nets, and after Andre Drummond hooked up with a one-shot, Kenneth Faried made a strong basket and walked for a violation, and the Pistons' Blanton Knight broke through and scored a backhand layup to tie the score.

The two sides then battled until 5:03 of the second quarter. Tall and strong three-point shot. The Brooklyn Nets regained the lead.

Before halftime, the tall and strong assisted Kawhai Leonard to hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer as the Brooklyn Nets ended the first half 55-49.

However, in the second half, Kauluay Leonard suddenly came into play. Shortly after the start of the third quarter. He hit two three-pointers in a row. Helped the Brooklyn Nets play a 10-2 offensive wave.

The Detroit Pistons called a timeout, but when they returned, they still couldn't stop Kawhi Leonard. Kawhai Leonard hit another three-pointer.

With 21 seconds left in the quarter, Kawhai Leonard scored another dunk under the basket.

After three quarters, the Brooklyn Nets led the Detroit Pistons by 21 points, 82-61, and Kawhai Leonard scored 13 points in the first quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons narrowed the gap to 12 points at one point, but Kawhai Leonard grabbed key frontcourt rebounds in a row and scored free throws with tall and strong, and the two combined for 10 points.

At this time, the Brooklyn Nets once again took a 20-point lead, and then the game went into garbage time, and Coach Johnson also removed Tall Strong, Kawwai Leonard and other main players one after another.

In the end, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the visiting Detroit Pistons 111-89 at home, making it an 11-game winning streak.

In this game, due to the absence of the team's starting point guard Deron Williams, Brooklyn Nets coach Johnson once let Gao Dazhuang serve as the team's point guard in the third and fourth quarters.

24 points, 14 assists and 7 rebounds, this is the stats handed over by Gao Dazhuang today, it turns out that Gao Dazhuang not only can attack on his own, he also has a good sense of the big picture, vision and organizational skills, 14 assists speak for itself.

But the star of the day at Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets, was not the tall man, but the team's small forward Cowanard Leonard, who set a new career scoring record.

Today, Kawhai Leonard played 39 minutes, shooting 11-of-15, including 5-of-6 three-pointers and 3-of-3 free throws, scoring a game-high 30 points, as well as 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals.

After the game, Nets legend John Williamson, who has been confirmed to be inducted into the 2013 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, has never hidden his admiration for Kawhai Leonard.

In an interview with The New York Times, Williamson said he is bullish on the Brooklyn Nets beating the Miami Heat in the playoffs, and he thinks Tall and Strong and Kaulvay Leonard will surprise fans.

"I think the youngsters in Brooklyn have every chance to beat anyone, including the Miami Heat," Williamson said, "The Brooklyn Nets are a team with a lot of depth right now, the bench players are really good, and besides, they have some really good youngsters, especially the tall and strong and Kawhai Leonard, and I really like their style of play and their defensive intensity right now."

"When these two teams play each other, the most critical factor is the alignment," Williamson continued: "I don't think the Brooklyn Nets are at a loss against the Miami Heat, and it has nothing to do with the record, I remember when I was with the Nets, we met the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, and the outside world didn't look favorably on us at the time, but we eventually beat them, and then we also met the Celtics, and the opposing team has four Hall of Famers, and the outside world naturally doesn't look favorably on us. But we ended up dragging them to Game seven," Williamson recalled.

Finally, Williamson said in a shocking way: "I want to say that I didn't think anyone could guard against LeBron James, but now, I think Couwai Leonard can give it a try." (To be continued......)
