After a brief break, the Brooklyn Nets are back on their way to Atlanta to take on the Josh Smith-led Atlanta Hawks.

This is the third time that Gao Dazhuang has come to Atlanta, a highland city located in the eastern United States, located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at an altitude of 350 meters.

Gao has played the Atlanta Hawks three times this season, the first time for the Houston Rockets and the last two times for the Brooklyn Nets, but his team has won all three games.

But today, the Atlanta Hawks don't seem to be planning to let the tall and strong take another easy win.

Perhaps drawing on the experience of the Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards' victory over the Brooklyn Nets, the Atlanta Hawks significantly tightened their perimeter defense in order to lock up the Nets' three-point shot.

And in order to deal with the tall and strong core player of the Brooklyn Nets, the Atlanta Hawks even put DeSean Stevenson, a more defensive substitute, into the starting lineup.

DeSean Stevenson's task is "simple", and he does his best to mark the tall and strong defenders, with or without the ball, whether in the front court or in the backcourt.

However, Gao Dazhuang, who has been a first-line star in the league, has not enjoyed this kind of "treatment", I saw Gao Dazhuang unhurriedly use a "fixed routine" of his teammates to cooperate, temporarily get rid of DeSean Stevenson's defense, and then seize the short opportunity to shoot directly outside the three-point line.

"When" is a pity, the tall and strong shot is a little lighter. The ball bounced out of the basket.

"It'sok, good opportunity" was spoken by Nets core point guard Deron Williams, who was still on the injury list while he was on the bench, but that didn't stop him from playing with the team.

The tall man nodded at Deron Williams and made an OK gesture.

The Atlanta Hawks scored first, and their core player, power forward Josh Smith, beat Kenneth Faried under the basket.

0：2

The Brooklyn Nets' second offense was still initiated by Gao Dazhuang, almost in the same position, Gao Dazhuang once again made a pick-and-roll with his teammates, but this time the pick-and-roll did not completely get rid of the guarded DeSean Stevenson.

"Smack", but the tall and strong suddenly made a feint of probing and dotting, which directly shook DeSean Stevenson's center of gravity. At this time, the tall and strong retreated a little. After pulling out the offensive space, jump straight to the shot.

This is a long-distance two-point ball, the arc and strength of the ball are good, but it is a "dang" sound. The ball spun around in the hoop and then slid out again.

"Lean" tall and strong, feeling annoyed in his heart. The "feel" is so mysterious. Just two shots, just a little bit short.

In Brooklyn, the Nets, who have unlimited fire, certainly don't stop their offense for a minute because of a few missed shots. Tall and strong used a series of feints near the free throw line to add a limit change of direction to break through DeSean Stevenson's defense head-on.

Deron Williams, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help waving his arms and shouting, "If you don't feel good on the outside, you will impact the opponent's inside" This is also the requirement of Nets coach Johnson for Gao Dazhuang, who is one of the top breakthrough masters in the league.

The tall man who broke through the defense jumped on the reasonable collision zone line, but the Atlanta Hawks' interior linemen Josh Smith and Al Horford were both very mobile.

At the moment when Gao Dazhuang broke through, they also instantly withdrew to the basket, and Gao Dazhuang folded and lifted himself in the bag clamp of Smith and Horford, and made a layup with a lever in the process of sliding and falling.

"Dang", still not in, the tall and strong pull-up layup bounced out of the basket again, and the tall and strong after landing on the ground questioned the referee with some annoyance, obviously he thought that the Hawks had a foul in defense just now.

However, the referee shook his head negotiately and signaled for the game to continue.

After nearly four minutes of the game, the Brooklyn Nets failed to make a single shot, and the Atlanta Hawks opened the game with an 11-0 run.

"Doot" Brooklyn Nets were forced to ask for a timeout.

However, after the timeout, Coach Johnson did not say anything to the tall and strong, but put forward a lot of requirements for the Nets' defense just now.

Instead, Deron Williams pulled the tall man aside, talking in his mouth and gesturing with something in his hands.

After the timeout, the Nets went on offense.

"Peng" made a pick-and-roll near the free-throw line, and the tall and strong broke through DeSean Stevenson's defense with a sideways turn.

Just when everyone thought that the tall and strong would kill the inside, especially Josh Smith, who was sitting on the inside, had already begun to pounce on the tall and strong.

With a "snap", a tall and strong hit the ball, and the ball went directly from near the free throw line through the Hawks' defense, and just went to Kenneth Faried, who cut to the baseline.

Facing the empty basket, Kenneth Faried received the ball, took off, raised his arms, and with a loud "clang", Faried scored with one hand.

With Faried's slam dunk, the Brooklyn Nets began to slowly find their senses, and although the tall man bounced off the basket on several solo shots, he assisted Kawhai Leonard and Marsin Gortat to score in quick succession, and the Brooklyn Nets gradually narrowed the gap.

With 1:35 left in the first quarter, the Atlanta Hawks attacked.

Hawks small point guard Jeff Teague broke through Carlos Delfino's defense head-on and went straight to the Nets' interior, at which point Kenneth Faried, who was sitting in the basket, quickly made up for it and pounced.

"Smack", but Jeff Teague passed the ball out at the first time, and the target of his pass was the Hawks power forward Josh Smith, who was inserted at high speed in the middle.

"Oh no" all the Nets players shouted in their hearts, and the basket at this time was completely vacuum.

By this time, Josh Smith had already completed the run, jump, and air. What awaits the Nets next will be a heavy dunk.

However, there was another person who did not give up at this time, that is, tall and strong, I saw him running back to the basket from the outside at high speed, and a side pounce was inserted between Josh Smith and the basket.

Due to the lack of running distance and the height of the jump, the tall man who had just taken off was perfectly "hit" by Josh Smith, who was stronger than him, and flew directly off the court, falling heavily into the arms of the photojournalist behind the railing.

What is even more regrettable is that the efforts of Gao Dazhuang have not paid off. "Bang". Josh Smith hit a heavy dunk and slammed the ball into the basket.

"Oh" At this time, the Eagles' home stadium Phillips Arena erupted in loud cheers, and Josh Smith, who scored the goal, was also very arrogant and strides the "general", constantly waving his arms. Mobilize the emotions of the fans.

Meantime. On-court and off-court players for the Nets. Even the coach immediately rushed to the side of the tall man who fell behind the basket.

"Da Zhuang, how's it going?" "Are you alright?" "Team Doctor!" …… All kinds of concerned voices from teammates and coaches.

"I'm fine" The tall man sat up reflexively, raising his hand to stop the next move of the team doctor who was running quickly. Slowly raised his head and glanced at his teammates and coaches around him and said, "Atalanta is definitely not our opponent, is it?" ”

"Of course!" The question of being tall and strong obviously made the other players a little stunned, but at this time, Lance-Stephenson yelled and replied.

"Okay, take out our 100% strength and defeat them," the tall and strong roared very seriously.

"Okay, break them," his teammates immediately echoed.

The flames in Brooklyn have been lit, but the Hawks and their fans at home are still in the joy of this wonderful dunk, unaware of it.

"Death Buckle! Death Buckle! ......."The live DJ in the Phillips Arena, the home of the Hawks, kept provoking the Nets, and even many Hawks fans sneered at the tall and strong.

But what awaits them will be the wrath of Brooklyn.

DeSean Stevenson was still staring at the tall and strong, only to see the tall and strong slowly dribbling the ball, slowly bowing down, and suddenly jumping......

Jump? DeSean Stevenson looked at the tall man who was still one meter away from the three-point line in surprise, only to see that the tall man had completely vacated at this time, and a long-distance three-point shot caught Desean Stevenson off guard.

"Won't you go in, will you? So far," DeSean Stevenson prayed as he looked back at the basketball.

However, the result soon disappointed him, and with a "brush", Gao Dazhuang scored the first goal of the game, and less than a minute after being dunked to the ground by Josh Smith, Gao Dazhuang responded to the opponent with a long-range three-pointer.

20：24

At the end of the first quarter, the Brooklyn Nets, who were playing away, trailed the Atlanta Hawks by four points.

In the first quarter, the Brooklyn Nets did not score a point for four minutes, but in the second quarter, the embarrassing situation happened to the Atlanta Hawks.

At the moment, the five players on the court of the Brooklyn Nets are center "Birdman" Chris Anderson, power forward "Half-Orc" Kenneth Faried, small forward "Facial Paralysis" Kawhai Leonard, scoring guard "Funny" Lance Stephenson, and point guard Tall and Strong.

They were nimble, maneuverable, and had power at the same time, and apparently the first Kros-Smith dunk made the Nets players on the court "furious" as they stopped the Hawks' offense time and time again.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Atlanta Hawks scored a measly four points on free throws.

The Brooklyn Nets played a wave of 14:4 attack under the leadership of Gao Dazhuang, and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

In the second quarter of the game, the "firepower" Brookley Nets won 28-10 in a single quarter and led 48-34 in the first half.

The Brooklyn Nets continued to dominate the game in the second half, maintaining a double-digit lead.

With 5:05 left in the third quarter, the tall and strong burst to the basket and made a defensive foul on Josh Smith at the same time, and he scored three points with free throws to give the Nets a 20-point lead at 69:49.

At the end of the third quarter, the Brooklyn Nets extended their advantage to 28 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Coach Johnson waved his hand, removed all the main forces, and sent substitutes to play.

Although the main players of the Nets looked at the Hawks players on the court with contemptuous eyes, the Hawks failed to launch a strong counterattack, and the cheers of Phillips at their home court gradually faded.

102：72

In the end, the Brooklyn Nets, who were playing away, won a 30-point victory, "bloodbathed" the Atlanta Hawks, and once again showed the league Brooklyn's "muscles". (To be continued......)
