The Brooklyn Nets, who have won two straight games, have no reason to stop their win, and after their win over the Philadelphia 76ers, they are back on their way to Detroit, where they will take on the Detroit Pistons "back-to-back".

If the "back-to-back" race is in a neighboring city, the bus may travel for a few hours on the highway and then go directly to your hotel in the next city.

This is something that the visiting players are happy to accept, as they will be able to sleep on the bus for at least a few hours without being disturbed, and unless the manager is upset by the previous night's defeat and has a discussion on the bus for criticism and self-criticism, the players can put on their headphones and go to sleep, and they will open their eyes to another hotel.

But Philadelphia is 940 kilometers from Detroit, and apparently the Brooklyn Nets players can only travel by plane.

In the weather when the temperature plummeted, the plane in flight was bumpy all the way, and when the tall and strong were "shaken" and dizzy, the team's Gerard Wallace, Jerry Starhouse, and Chris Anderson fell asleep early.

Although they are also shaky, there is quite a kind of artistic conception of "let Er sway around, I will not move".

In fact, the veteran players have more experience than the rookies not only on the court, but also the experience of coping with the "schedule", and they know how to squeeze out a little time to rest and adjust, in order to ensure that the physical condition is adjusted to a better level.

Two consecutive days away from home, again in different cities. Back-to-back games are a huge test of the team's fitness and strength, but it's clear that young Brooklyn isn't afraid of that.

In Detroit, the "luxury inside" of Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond failed to stop the Brooklyn "Cavaliers" from moving forward.

Facing the Detroit Pistons, who have lost eight in a row, the Brooklyn Nets opened the gap in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the game, the tall man scored three points with a free throw, followed by another pass, Kenneth Faried dunked in the air, and Kawhai Leonard also hit a three-pointer with his assist, and the Nets started the game with a 10-0 advantage.

The Nets led 36-23 in the first quarter.

The Nets had a 20-point advantage in the second quarter, but they failed to score in the final two minutes of the quarter. The Pistons hit a 6-0 run. Tied the score at 45:59.

After nearly six minutes of the third quarter, the Pistons only hit one shot, and the Nets started the quarter 10-2 and opened up the gap at 69-47. The gap between the two sides is heading towards 30 points.

After three verses. The Nets led 90-59.

Although in the final quarter, the Nets replaced all the main players. However, the gap between the two teams is still at a maximum of 43 points.

117：82

In the end, the Brooklyn Nets, who were playing away, won another hearty victory with a 35-point advantage.

In this game, Gao Dazhuang only played 22 minutes, easily scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Kenneth Faried, who started the game, had 18 points and seven rebounds, and Kawhai Leonard had 16 points, five rebounds and three assists.

In addition to the main players, the Nets had three bench players in double figures, with Lance Stephenson scoring a season-high 23 points, four rebounds and three assists, while Kyle Korver and veteran Jerry Stackhouse each scored 10 points.

While the Brooklyn Nets are on a three-game winning streak, their rivals the New York Knicks lost at home to the Portland Trail Blazers, suffering a three-game losing streak and currently one win behind the Brooklyn Nets in the race for the top spot in the Atlantic Division.

For this reason, the New York Times wrote in a special article: "The Knicks are just a flash in the pan? They are starting to fall for the upper hand in the battle with Brooklyn! ”

The article points out that after starting the New York Knicks with a 10-2 start in November, the next record is just 28-21, and the 57.1% winning percentage is only equivalent to 46-47 wins in the regular season.

Interestingly, it doesn't seem like the Knicks are a 46-win team, and there are two main reasons for this.

One is that the Knicks' performance at the beginning of the season was too impressive, winning 8 out of 10 games, making people feel that the New York Knicks are a team standing at the top of the league.

The second reason is simpler, that is, it is not difficult for the Eastern Conference to achieve a good ranking, and the New York Knicks have never fallen out of the top three in the division, but the same record in the Western Conference cannot even get the first-round home advantage.

A closer look at the Knicks' offensive stats reveals that their type is different from that of the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets, both in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat won on the "quasi", James and Wade drove the best athletic efficiency in the league, and there were almost no cover doors in the shooting area.

The strength of the Nets is "ruthless", and the young players in Brooklyn, who are tall and strong, are very "hard" in both defense and offense, and the team's three-point rain is even more "bloody".

The Knicks are the most "stable" team, the best in the league in turnovers, but there is a price to pay for this, and the team's assist rate is also the second lowest in the league, only better than the Bobcats.

To the Knicks' downside, the team's 40.7 percent three-point shooting in November was absolutely overperforming, because no team in the league could maintain such a crosshairs for a season, and on the contrary, their three-point shooting percentage after November was only a mediocre 34.8 percent, which was closer to last season's 33.6 percent.

So in the battle for the top spot in the East, the New York Knicks began to slowly fall behind.

This is because the Knicks' offense relies too much on the perimeter, which leads to their offensive limitations.

If the defense is good, they can still challenge the league's top phalanx, but for the original intention of improving the offense, the Knicks often use a large and four small lineup, and the size is not superior, so it is easy to lose defensively.

So far this season, the Knicks have conceded 106.1 points per 100 possessions, ranking only 17th in the league in defensive efficiency.

Their No. 1 defensive rebounds and No. 4 turnovers are both good, and they have minimized the number of offenses they can play. Unfortunately, the defensive quality in the round is not good, the defense of the athletic battle is actually the 8th from the bottom in the league, and the free throw limit is very mediocre.

Every team has its phases in a rebuild, and staying too long at any stage can be problematic, and this year's New York Knicks have a good record, reaching the second round is basically the task, and the Eastern Conference finals are overdone.

But with the recent form of the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets, it will be difficult for the New York Knicks to go further, because no matter which opponent they face, the New York Knicks don't look like they have much chance of winning.

……

After an away win over the Detroit Pistons. The Brooklyn Nets, who have won three in a row, are finally back in New York. Back at their home stadium, Barclays Centre.

After a rare two-day break, the Brooklyn Nets are challenged by the New Orleans Hornets.

In last week's away game against the Hornets, the Brooklyn Nets made 23 three-pointers, tying a league record.

In that game. Gao Dazhuang also handed over excellent statistics of 35 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists. and led the team to "bloodbath" the opponent with a 34-point advantage.

And the Hornets' "champion" Anthony Davis is not only at an all-round disadvantage in the confrontation with the tall and strong. And left the court again in the middle of the third quarter due to injury, and finally played only 24 minutes, scoring only 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

In today's game though. Anthony Davis rebounded strongly, scoring 10 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first quarter with free throws, giving the New Orleans Hornets a 25-22 three-point lead into the second quarter.

However, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Gao Dazhuang shot a half-volley, and then assisted his teammates to score in a row, and the Nets launched a wave of 11:2 attacks.

At halftime, the Brooklyn Nets took a 57-48 lead.

Maybe encountering the "champion" will habitually make the "Tanhua" tall and strong, and the tall and strong scored 15 points for the Nets in the third quarter.

However, the Hornets came out of force in the last 2 minutes of the quarter, Anthony Davis made consecutive self-throws, followed by several wonderful assists in succession, and the Hornets also tied the score at one point.

Fortunately, the tall and strong shot pressed the whistle, and the Nets entered the final quarter with a four-point advantage.

In the final quarter, the Nets scored the first five points of the quarter, and they started the fourth quarter with a 12-3 run and took a double-digit advantage of 92-81.

After the Hornets began to strengthen their grip on Tall Strong, Tall Strongman began to assist his teammates to score frequently.

In the fourth quarter, 5 minutes and 45 seconds into the game, Gao Dazhuang assisted Lance Stephenson for a layup, and the difference between the two sides expanded to 20 points.

But at this time, Coach Johnson did not replace Gao Dazhuang off the court, but continued to keep him on the court, because at this moment, in addition to scoring, rebounds and assists are close to ten.

At 9:11 in the fourth quarter, Tall and Strong assisted Kawhai Leonard on a three-point shot to get his 10th assist of the half.

"Rebounds, rebounds, rebounds......" At this time, the Nets fans in the Barclays Center began to let out a neat shout, and they also very much wanted to see the tall and strong "triple-double" when they almost sealed the win early.

"When" Hornets guard Eric Gordon misses a three-point jumper, the ball bounces off the basket.

Just as the tall man was pulling back to the basket, Nets center Chris Anderson and power forward Kenneth Faried pushed the Hornets players out of the paint zone one left and one right.

With a "snap", the tall and strong jumped up, picked off the backcourt rebound with both hands, and firmly protected it in his arms.

At 11:05 in the fourth quarter, Gao Dazhuang grabbed a key backcourt rebound under the cover of his teammates, bringing his rebounds in this game to 10.

"Oh" The entire Barclays Center Arena was boiling, and it was another perfect victory.

In the end, the Brooklyn Nets won 107-89 at home against the visiting New Orleans Hornets.

With the support of his teammates on the court, Gao Dazhuang scored a "triple-double" of 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

This is also the first time that Gao Dazhuang has played a "triple-double" after joining the Brooklyn Nets, in fact, there are not many cases where rookies have played 20 points + 10 rebounds + 10 assists.

There are only a dozen or so statistics, the most recent being Griffin's 31 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against the Grizzlies on April 14, 2011.

In fact, in addition to being tall and strong today, the Hornets' Anthony Davis also played extremely well, and the technical statistics after the game showed that he recorded the first "triple-double" of his career: 15 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time in the history of the NBA that two rookie players have a triple-double in the same game.

After the game, he took a light view of this confrontation between him and Anthony Davis: "It's not me vs. Davis, it's Nets vs. Hornets, it's an inter-team game, I just want to help the team win." (To be continued......)
