The unexpected three-game losing streak has put a lot of pressure on everyone on the Nets, including team management.

In fact, after losing to the 76ers and unexpectedly suffering three consecutive defeats, Nets owner Prokhorov interviewed Coach Johnson, and the two talked for a long time, and it is unknown what they talked about, but a little dissatisfaction can be seen on Prokhorov's face at that time.

Before the home game against the Suns, the Nets held a fan meeting, and general manager Billy King met with the 1,000 Nets season ticket holders, saying that he was "disappointed" with the team's performance during this time, but he believed the team would soon get back on track.

"We have a couple of good cylinders and we can't get them all started at the same time, and that's the problem," Billy King told the season ticket holder, "I think Brook Lopez has been struggling to find a way to fit into the team, and our coaching staff is struggling, and we can't succeed as a team without addressing those issues." ”

Billy King also said that the Nets in particular have to deal with defensive problems, and although there are many reasons such as injuries and run-ins, these should not be an excuse for the team's poor performance.

"Our players should have the absolute quality to defend well, everybody has to pay attention to defense, just like we value offense, a lot of people want to score, but if you want to be a strong team, everybody has to defend well and defend seriously" Billy King continued.

The next opponent for the Brooklyn Nets is the Phoenix Suns. I have to say that the recent schedule is still extremely beneficial to the Nets.

The Suns are now on a four-game losing streak, and their staggering 11-game losing streak on the road is the Suns' longest road losing streak since the 14-game losing streak from January 3 to February 17, 1984.

But when the Brooklyn Nets lost to the 22nd-ranked Philadelphia 76ers, the 23rd-ranked Sacramento Kings and the bottom-ranked Washington Wizards, who can guarantee that the Nets will not "accidentally" lose to the Phoenix Suns, who are currently ranked 26th in the league?

On game day, the Barclays Center was packed, and despite the team's recent poor performance, Nets fans still gave their favorite team the greatest support.

However, the atmosphere in the arena is more solemn, the fans are less cheerful, and the funny performance of the Nets mascot Brooklyn Cavaliers is difficult to win the fans a smile. Because what the fans need most at this time is for the team to win.

In stark contrast to the fans, it is the journalists. The Nets have been the focus of media attention this season, and the Nets' open-ended public relations strategy allows reporters to interview the Nets' players and coaches directly.

Before the game, a large number of reporters surrounded the Nets' players and coaches in the team's locker room.

The three consecutive games in which the tall man scored less than 20 points made the "rookie wall" issue an indispensable topic of media interviews. Stackhouse, a 39-year-old veteran of the team, said: "The best way to beat the rookie wall is to leave it alone. Recently, the team has also been providing psychological guidance to the tall and strong. Coach Johnson and I, Bogans and Tall talked about how to rest and relax, and we passed on our experience to him and hope that he will solve the mental fatigue of his rookie season as soon as possible."

Coach Johnson was also asked this question by reporters. He said: "Players who play in other leagues have to go through a period of adjustment after entering the NBA, no one knows whether this is physical or psychological, you only know that they will encounter a bottleneck, in fact, the definition is not important, how to get through this period is the most important, Tall and strong is very hard-working, he is very positive, but the NBA consumes more energy than other leagues, and at the same time, Tall and Strong has to face so much attention, so I talked to him about how to find a chance to rest and relax, and he is currently adjusting" 。

Every time the interview is opened, the tall and strong is always surrounded by the largest number of reporters, and the reporters' attention to the tall and strong is so strong that the stadium security personnel have to stand guard when the tall and strong change his shoes and jersey, but the media still ask the same question hundreds of times.

At this time, Gerald Wallace, the Nets small forward next to the tall and strong locker room, squeezed over, protected the tall and strong behind him, and said to the reporters dissatisfied: "You guys are too much, he has not rejected your questions, but now I say no to you on his behalf, dealing with your media is one thing, but his job is to play basketball now, we are about to play, please get out of the way"

After Wallace's frenzy, the media finally returned to normal order, and the players were able to get to the pitch without incident, and when the tall man appeared on the pitch, he immediately won the biggest cheers from the fans.

Gao Dazhuang also responded immediately, he looked around the stadium, pointed at the fans with his left hand, and punched his chest with his right fist, he was sending a signal to the fans: a signal of victory!

With the referee's whistle, the Brooklyn Nets' home game against the Phoenix Suns officially began.

The Nets' starting lineup has not been adjusted, and it is still the same lineup that was during the losing streak: center Brook Lopez, power forward Chris Humphries, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Tall Strong, point guard Marshawn Brooks, and now this lineup is almost their regular lineup.

And the Suns' starters are: center Marcin Gortat, power forward Luis Scola, small forward PJ Tucker, shooting guard Jared Dudley, and point guard Goran Dragic.

"Snap" Suns center Gortat beat Nets center Lopez and took the lead in gaining the ball.

Marcin Gortat is also a big center with a height of more than 2.10 meters, and although he is inferior to Lopez in attack, he has an overwhelming advantage over Lopez in terms of strength.

The Suns' offense was very concise and fast, with Dragic advancing quickly with the ball and using his teammates' cover to get rid of defenders, taking advantage of the Nets' unstable foothold and stealing directly from beyond the three-point line.

With a "brush", Dragic hit a three-point shot from the outside.

3：0

At the beginning of the game, the Suns gave the Nets a dismissal.

"Offense, offense, offense, offense......" This is the spontaneous cheering of the Nets fans in the entire Barclays Center arena to cheer on the players on the court.

Responsible for defending the tall and strong is the Suns' scoring guard Jared Dudley, Dudley is 2.01 meters tall, averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, can only be said to be a barely qualified starter, at the moment he is clinging to the tall and strong, and a dead tall and strong posture.

At this time, Wallace glanced at Gao Dazhuang, Gao Dazhuang immediately understood, and with a "Peng" sound, Wallace pulled to a high position and made a no-ball cover for Gao Dazhuang.

Gao Dazhuang immediately accelerated to start, and took advantage of it to smoothly get rid of Dudley's defense, and at this time, Brooks, who controlled the ball, also passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang's hands in time.

After receiving the ball, the tall and strong turned around, adjusted a little, and then faced Jared Dudley who pounced, and made a jump shot with a slight back.

With a "beep", the referee's whistle sounded at the same time as the tall and strong shot, and Jared Dudley's desperate block made him pay for a foul.

With a "brush", the tall and strong shot accurately passed through the center of the net, 2+1!

The tall and strong counterattack immediately caused huge cheers from the fans in the audience, and Wallace and other Nets players also surrounded and high-fived the tall and strong in turn.

"It feels good," said Tall and Strong, gesturing to shoot and smiling at Wallace.

"Kick all the other thoughts out of your head, you just have to keep your eyes on the basket and keep scoring, scoring," Wallace said to Gao Dazhuang very solemnly.

With a "brush", the tall and strong man hit the penalty shot.

3：3

The consecutive consecutive defeats have put a lot of pressure on the Nets players, and of course, there is also motivation, under the active scrambling of the Nets players, in the second offense of the Suns at the beginning of the game, the Nets gave the opponent a 24-second offensive violation.

The Nets served quickly and quickly passed the ball to the tall man.

This time, after a set of continuous realistic feints, Gao Dazhuang broke through one limit of direction change in the face of Dudley's defense, and quickly cut into the inside line.

At this time, the Suns' interior line immediately contracted rapidly, but the moment he stepped into the paint area, he suddenly made a sharp stop, pulled up on the spot, and made another mid-range jumper.

"Brush", the basketball once again passes through the net accurately.

3：5

"Gao Da Zhuang has a good hand today" The Nets players on the court all had such an idea in their hearts, of course, they began to deliberately create scoring opportunities for Gao Da Zhuang in this situation.

Soon, Wallace went to the high post again to cover the tall and strong, but the Suns small forward PJ Tucker decisively switched positions and immediately stuck to the tall and strong who broke through with the ball.

"Peng", but PJ-Tucker just pasted on the tall and strong, but was immediately blocked by Brooks' cover, and the Nets created space for the tall and strong to shoot through a secondary block.

Of course, Gao Dazhuang would not let go of the shooting opportunity that his teammates had painstakingly created, and immediately jumped out decisively, and with a "brush" sound, Gao Dazhuang hit another shot.

3：7

A minute later, Gao Dazhuang again singled Suns Jarred Dudley near the free throw line, and Gao Dazhuang shook Dudley's center of gravity with a simple probe step, followed by a step-back jumper.

The shot was so fast that Dudley, who was dangling, didn't have time to make any remedies, and with a "brush", the tall and strong shot with a standard step-back shot scored another goal.

3：9

"Oh" The fans in the audience let out enthusiastic cheers, and the tall and strong opened game with 4 shots and 9 points in a row, unstoppable, and the "super rookie" in the hearts of the fans returned to the Barclays Center Arena. (To be continued......)
