As we entered March, the weather in New York began to warm up, especially today, when the Barclays Center, the Nets' home arena, was already filled with loyal Brooklyn fans.

But what is surprising is that thousands of fans without tickets gathered around the big screen outside the stadium today, chanting slogans and cheering for the home team in this unique way.

So which team has such a lot of "appeal"?

The answer was soon revealed, neither the defending champions Miami Heat, nor the Los Angeles Lakers with their superstars, but the Atlanta Hawks.

That's right, it's the Atlanta Hawks.

Because just a few days ago, the Brooklyn Nets had a 30-point advantage in Atlanta, but in the game, Hawks star power forward Josh Smith dunked the tall man to the ground.

It was precisely because of this "death button" that it caused an uproar on the Internet, and later turned into a heated conversation between Brooklyn fans and the media and Atlanta fans and media.

When the Atlanta Hawks arrived in New York, a large number of Brooklyn fans gathered in front of the Barclays Center arena, chanting slogans in anticipation of the home team tearing apart the opponent again.

And the media on both sides were not idle, and began to "satirize" each other without sparing.

The emotions of the fans and the media also indirectly affected the players, and on the court, the players of both sides fought for sparks in the first quarter, and the referee's whistle sounded from time to time.

Of course, the Brooklyn Nets, who are playing at home, still have a certain advantage on the court by virtue of their strength. Because neither Jeff Teague, Devin Harris, nor DeSean Stevenson can fully target the tall and strong in a one-on-one situation.

The tall man contributed 10 points in the first quarter to give the Nets a 24-17 lead.

In the second quarter of the game, both sides invariably strengthened their defense, and the referee's whistle became more frequent.

However, the referee's multiple blows throughout the first half were confusing, blowing multiple fouls from the big forwards on both sides early, and Josh Smith and Kenneth Faried also sat on the bench early for too many fouls.

Moreover, both of them have many fouls for attacking and grabbing positions, and the referees also make up each other's whistles, and after blowing a controversial foul on one side, they immediately blow the controversial foul on the other side to make up for it. Resulting in a fragmented game.

But compared to a blow at half-time. The previous ones turned into clouds.

Before the end of the half, the Nets grabbed the last attack, and the tall and strong quickly advanced to the front court to shoot, but unfortunately the halftime was already up when the shot was made, and the goal was ruled invalid. The Nets walked back to the locker room with a 49-40 lead.

But the referee after watching the video. It was determined that the Nets had made an error in the timing of the home game. Before the tall and strong received the sideline serve, the time had already passed, so the judgment was 1.5 seconds back to the table. Call both teams back from the locker room and play the 1.5 seconds.

This strange farce is not over, the Nets came back with a beautiful sideline ball tactic, directly to the basket Gerald Wallace, who relayed the layup in the air, and the referee's whistle blew again, blowing the Atlanta Hawks defensive foul with only 0.9 seconds.

But perhaps it was too much pressure on the Nets to make free throws in this case, and the referee actually awarded a non-shooting foul.

The air relay layup blew a foul, and even blew a non-shooting foul, the Nets continued to send the sideline ball, but the Nets failed to do anything in 0.9 seconds, and the two sides came out of the locker room after a toss, and the score was still 49:40.

Although the Atlanta Hawks are eager to make a comeback against the Brooklyn Nets on the road, the difference in quality leaves them a little powerless.

After the start of the third quarter, the Atlanta Hawks began to adopt a trap tactic against Gao Dazhuang, but Gao Dazhuang ensured the continuation of the Nets' offensive firepower through timely balls.

So even though Hawks center Al Horford and power forward Smith played their own advantages on the inside in the third quarter, the Nets were still firmly in control of the situation on the court.

After receiving a pass from Kawhi Leonard, a surging break through DeSean Stevenson's defense to the basket and a difficult pull-up layup.

75：55

With 45 seconds left in the third quarter, with a tall layup, the Brooklyn Nets extended the margin to 20 points, and there was little suspense about the victory.

Twenty seconds later, less than 30 seconds before the end of the match, Gao Dazhuang once again singled DeSean Stevenson at the same position on the baseline.

Despite facing DeSean Stevenson, a defensive giant, the tall and strong man seemed to be at ease, and after two consecutive feints of "pop" and "pop", the tall and strong suddenly accelerated, and a lunge left Deshawn Stevenson behind again.

After breaking through the defense, the tall and strong grabbed a small step back and made a jump shot before the Atlanta Hawks' defenders blocked it.

But at the moment when the tall and strong eyes flew the basketball into the basket, there was a sound of "Peng", and the tall and strong felt that his legs were hit by the force surging from behind him.

"Ah~" And at the moment when Gao Dazhuang landed, Gao Dazhuang suddenly lost his center of gravity, and a heart-piercing pain made Gao Dazhuang can't help but cry out.

"Bang" Gao Dazhuang fell to the floor, "I'm damned", the severe pain made Gao Dazhuang couldn't help but burst out a few foul words.

"Da Zhuang?" , "SHIT", "Are you okay?" At this time, the rest of the Nets players rushed up, and the Brooklyn fans in the stadium also erupted in restless noises.

"It's okay, it's okay, it seems to have twisted my foot" Gao Dazhuang tightly covered his ankles with his hands, and comforted his teammates with his eyes, but Gao Dazhuang lay on the floor for a long time and couldn't stand up, which also made Coach Johnson, who was standing in the Nets rest area, have a worried look on his face.

At this time, several referees in the stadium were calling up the video footage of the scene, and replaying it in slow motion. Everyone, including the fans at the scene, noticed that the Hawks had just defended DeSean Stevenson with a defensive "black move".

Just after the tall and strong broke through Deshaun Stevenson head-on, Deshaun Stevenson immediately chased after the tall and strong, and when he was in the tall and strong jump shot, he had an obvious action that violated the tall and strong body, and the tall and strong calf was kicked by Deshawn Stevenson, and he sprained his ankle when he landed.

And DeSean Stevenson can be seen putting his foot on the tall and strong feet, which is a very hidden but extremely destructive action, and it is because of his action that it directly caused the Nets leader to suffer a serious sprain of his left ankle.

"Referee, he fouled" saw the slow-motion replay. Gao Dazhuang and his teammates immediately put forward their opinions to the referees on the field.

However, the referee on duty after a short exchange with the other two referees. He overruled the objections of the tall and strong Nets and signaled the game to continue.

After being pulled up by his teammates, Gao Dazhuang was still unwilling to argue with the referee, but after the argument was fruitless. With the support of the team doctor, Gao Dazhuang returned to the locker room early for further examination. And when walking towards the players' tunnel. Tall and strong is already limping.

The tall and strong departure also completely took away the focus of this game, especially the players, fans, and even coaches of the Nets. Their minds were worried about the injuries of the tall and strong.

Although the Atlanta Hawks launched a Jedi comeback in the fourth quarter, it was clear that the Hawks' despicable foul just now also irritated the Brooklyn Nets players.

The tall and strong departure did affect the team's attacking power, but their defense looked more determined and tenacious.

In the end, led by Kawhai Leonard and Kenneth Faried, the Brooklyn Nets won 94-83 at home against the visiting Atlanta Hawks.

The Nets' victory did not bring enough joy to the Brooklyn fans, because according to the news after the game, Gao Dazhuang received an ankle X-ray, although the bone is fine, it is still a severe sprain, and the calf injury needs to be further evaluated.

While the Nets will have a tough seven-game road game ahead, it's clear that a tall and strong injury is more important to the Nets than a temporary victory.

……

After the game, the media in New York pointed the "finger" at Atlanta and also at the "culprit" DeSean Stevenson, who scolded the dirty defender, and even many reporters began to make old scores to find out DeSean Stevenson's past misdeeds.

"In the world of sports, there's a saying that 'you don't lose,' and today's Hawks are not only on the losing side, but DeSean Stevenson's actions have cost them a loss," Fox, a well-known reporter for Yahoo Sports, wrote in a column.

"For NBA players, playing is work, it's a way for them to make a living, and DeSean Stevenson doesn't need to use his feet to 'scrap' his opponent and cause injury to his opponent, he should be ashamed of his actions," Howard Baker, a well-known reporter for The New York Times, also expressed his opinion.

"There are many ways for players to make a name for themselves in the NBA, and a lot of players have made a name for themselves with their fierce defense, and unfortunately, DeSean Stevenson has become one of them, and he will be remembered for it," said Frank, a columnist for Hoop World.

In addition to the media, the "debate" on social networks has long been waged between Brooklyn and Atlanta, and it has already taken the entire American basketball world by storm.

At first, Tall didn't dwell too much on DeSean Stevenson's "stepping up" after the game, and he said in an interview with New York media: "I'd rather believe he didn't mean it."

But on his Twitter, Gao Dazhuang still expressed his dissatisfaction and explained his opinion to the referee: "This dangerous action should be blown foul."

But as the other party, DeSean Stevenson does not intend to "carry the black pot", he immediately spoke on Twitter, pointing directly at the tall and strong: "Leg collisions, physical contact with defenders, and being whistled for offensive fouls are rules that the NBA changed two years ago, so, please shut up!" ”

According to DeSean Stevenson, it's good that the referee didn't blow a tall offensive foul.

Immediately, some fans took this view to Gao Dazhuang's Twitter to "stir up trouble", so Gao Dazhuang was completely enraged, and he replied on his mobile phone in the hospital room: "He De Shaun Stevenson knows very well what he wants to do, and anyone with half a brain can understand this, I just don't want this to happen to other players again."

Was the tall and strong injury a coincidence, or was it a deliberate step on the part of DeSean Stevenson? This immediately became the hottest topic on social networks in the entire United States that day.

Gao Dazhuang himself said very simply: "Dangerous actions should be blown and punished, over."

A few hours later, Gao Dazhuang updated Werther: "Now the ankle is still swollen and must be treated", and at the same time, Gao Dazhuang also tweeted a photo of the ankle swelling.

However, DeSean Stevenson also fired back: "The footage doesn't lie, in fact it's the tall man who kicked his foot and then lost his balance, and I would never try to hurt someone."

TNT analyst and basketball legend Ross Barkley stepped up at this point, saying he didn't think it was a dirty move: "It's just a regular season game, I mean, DeSean Stevenson is tall and strong defensively, and Big Stout has to play one-on-one, I don't think DeSean Stevenson's mind is going to think 'if Big Stout jumps, I'm going to put my leg under his feet', I don't think it's a dirty move, I think it's just an unfortunate thing." ”

However, justice is in the hearts of the people, and Bruce Bowen, a former Spurs defensive expert who can be called the NBA's "stepping grandfather" and used this black trick to abolish countless famous players, commented on Twitter: "DeSean Stevenson's action of sticking his foot into his tall and strong feet is very bad. ”

Bowen also made a simple interpretation in an interview with ESPN: "In slow motion, you can see that DeSean Stevenson took a step towards Tall and Strong when he was shooting the basket, and everyone knew what he wanted to do when he took a step forward. ”

Maybe not everyone knows DeSean Stevenson's intentions, but Bowen definitely knows that although Bruce Bowen is regarded as the best outside defender in the league, the black foot is also one of his "tricks", and he used this move to dethrone Carter back then.

Bowen has been criticized for his bad moves, and although he has been selected to the league's first defensive team five times in his career, he has never won the Defensive Player of the Year award.

"There is an unwritten rule on the basketball court, when the opposing player jumps and shoots, you must let him come down safely" LeBron James, the league's number one star, also spoke out on the same day, and supported him through the media: "Even if I play in my own backyard or in street basketball, I know these truths, if you want to get a player out of the game immediately, the most direct way is to make him jump off the game so easily."

"After the opponent jumps up and shoots, the defender stretches his foot underneath and puts his foot down, which is one of the dirtiest moves in the basketball world" Another league "superstar" Kobe Bryant also stood tall and strong on Witt. (To be continued......)
