The Brooklyn Nets ended their losing streak by beating the Atlanta Hawks by 30 points on the road.

However, their core player in this game was not a good hand, his shooting percentage was almost a season low with only 4 of 14 shots, but he fully demonstrated his all-round ability in the game, and finally handed over 19 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists.

Although Gao Dazhuang's score in this game was far lower than his average of 29 points per game, in the game, whenever it comes to critical moments, Gao Dazhuang can always help the team stabilize the situation on the court through free throws or assists.

"I'm always confident that I can shoot" Facing reporters after the game, Gao Dazhuang said with a smile: "I am also confident that I will shoot those missed balls, but they have not progressed, sometimes it is like this, but I am always confident in shooting."

For the "death dunk" that he was dunked by Josh Smith in the game, Gao Dazhuang did not shy away from it, he said indifferently: "Smith's dunk is beautiful and cool, it boosts the momentum of the Hawks, but it also stimulates us."

Nets coach Johnson was very happy with the win, and he was very happy with the team's performance: "I think this is one of our best wins of the season, and we've had some minor problems lately, so we have to find a different way to win and we have to deal with setbacks...... And then in this game, we not only shot some key shots, but we played the defense that I wanted to see, which was very gratifying to me. We ended up winning the game defensively."

Asked about his big shooting percentage, Coach Johnson said: "It's rare, but I'm not worried about him at all, he led the team to this good victory, he didn't shoot hard when he didn't feel good, he trusted his teammates completely, he passed the ball for them, he was very aggressive and he can pass the ball for his teammates now." We catch the ball and we shoot. In the end he won the assists and we won the game. ”

"Tall and strong proved with his actions that even if he doesn't feel good, he can lead the team to victory in other ways. Perhaps this is the biggest takeaway of the team's game," Deron Williams, who traveled with the team, also gave his teammate a very high evaluation of his tall and strong teammate in an interview with reporters after the game. This also made many ill-intentioned media not dig up "valuable" news.

Against the Atlanta Hawks. The Brooklyn Nets have always had their own, and since the Nets joined the Nets, the Nets have played the Hawks a total of three times. And every time it's a light takedown.

The Hawks' excellent defense managed to limit Tall's offense, but they couldn't stop Tall from providing firepower to his teammates, and the Nets made more shots with ease.

"We didn't have a problem with the set-up, the difference wasn't as big as it would have been, they just hit more shots in key moments," said Hawks coach Mike? Budenholzer said unconvinced at his post-match press conference.

"Tall and strong is key, he makes the difference between winning and losing the game," said Jeff Teague, the Hawks' core point guard, "I think our defense has been good, Tall and strong didn't play as well as he should, his scoring was limited, but he managed to activate his teammates."

The local media in New York, which won the game after the game, reported the Nets' big win as soon as possible, and praised the resilience of the Nets in this game.

But the losing Atlanta media focused on a "dunk" in the game after the game.

When Hawks star power forward Josh Smith received a pass from Jeff Teague and jumped high, Tall and Strong also flew into the air to try to block the big guy who was a head taller than him, but Tall and Strong was knocked to the ground with a heavy dunk.

After the game, Tall and Strong became the object of ridicule by the Atlantans, and here, the All-Star MVP became a joke.

At this point, the Atlanta fans didn't seem to care about the game, they just enjoyed Smith's explosive dunk performance.

They treated the tall and strong as a poor background man, and some Atlanta media even used the word "rape" when describing the dunk.

Maybe it's because Gao Dazhuang has been in the limelight too much recently, and while winning a large number of "iron fans", he also secretly produced some "black fans", and a large number of people joined the discussion for this dunk.

The Wikipedia profile of Tall and Josh Smith has even changed: Tall Strong's profile was eventually obituary, and the cause of death was that Josh Smith was violently detained to death; Josh Smith was charged with the murder of Tall Strong.

As a result, the Internet began to turn wildly about the "tall and strong is dead" argument, and for this reason, the tall and strong fans and Atlanta fans launched a fierce "battle" on the Internet.

However, for the "death button" that is popular on the Internet, Gao Dazhuang doesn't seem to care.

"I wasn't told in the scouting report before the game that Smith was going to dunk, haha!" Gao Dazhuang updated his Twitter after the incident, and Gao Dazhuang's move also won a large number of cheers from fans.

In response to the media hype in Atlanta, "Yahoo Sports" immediately wrote an article in support of the tall and strong who was violently detained by Smith.

The article points out that all of this propaganda in Atalanta seems to be sending a message: "Get out of the way, don't try to create offensive fouls, don't ruin a goal like this, it's not good for you"

How contrary is this to the culture of basketball, and how distorted are such values?

This time it was the tall and strong who suffered, and a year ago, Kendrick Perkins became the star of Blake Griffin's brilliance for the same reason, and that dunk was even more impressive, and Perkins is often teased to this day.

"If there is the same situation, the same position, I will jump up and block", Perkins once said that he has no regrets: "A lot of people are afraid of losing face, but I don't care, it's my job, if the next time I see someone else want to dunk and dodge, what will my teammates think of me?" I'd be a coward in that case. ”

So, for Smith, he's put on an amazing show, congratulations to him, especially considering he's on a $13.2 million contract this year, and he can jump and dunk, which is why he's so successful in the league, but today, he's probably just a city hero at best.

And Tall Zhuang, this guy who was "raped" and "killed" in Lantlanta's mouth, actually knows the way of basketball better, he will not run away, and he will not feel ashamed of it.

The culture of the sport is not always deviated and distorted.

Smith's dunk was wonderful, but maybe everyone's applause was sent to the wrong target, and Tall and Strong was the real winner of this game!

……

Of course, the rhetoric of "Yahoo Sports" did not satisfy the Atlanta media, but when they started a "war of words", the Brooklyn Nets had already rushed to the next city - Philadelphia with the joy of victory.

Although it is an away game against the Philadelphia 76ers, it is not too difficult a challenge for the young and ambitious Brooklyn Nets.

After an easy 48 minutes, the Nets won two straight games at 96-79.

This means that the Brooklyn Nets once again surpassed the New York Knicks to become the second-ranked team in the East.

In the victory that helped the Brooklyn Nets regain the top spot in the Atlantic Division, the Nets' number one star, Gao Dazhuang, played only 30 minutes in a very low-key manner and did not play in the fourth quarter.

With 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting, his scoring was still not high, but he contributed 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

In fact, the current score is not a decisive statistic for Gao Dazhuang, who only scored 19 points in the last game against Atalanta, but as a result, the team won by 30 points.

In that game, Gao Dazhuang gave up the individual singles and focused on organizing his teammates to attack, and the result was very gratifying.

Therefore, today's game can be regarded as a continuation of this style by tall and strong.

The biggest change in the current Brooklyn Nets, under the strategy of being tall and strong, is that the ball is played very reasonably.

The players in the five positions can perform their duties and give full play to the strength of the team, which is the most regrettable part of the team.

For example, not long after the opening kick-off, Kawwai Leonard controlled the ball on the right side, used Kenneth Faried's cover to get rid of the opponent, and then gave it to the tall and strong hand of the left high post.

At this time, Kenneth Faried had already run to the basket, and the opponent's attention was not on him, the tall and strong decisive horizontal pass, directly to the basket, Faried received the ball in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with his back.

This 2 points is probably the most exciting individual shot of today's game, and this cooperation also fully reflects the characteristics of the Nets and the tall and strong, not greedy for merit, and patient to find opportunities.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the 76ers served the ball in the backcourt, and as soon as the ball was released, the tall and strong burst out like lightning and cut off the ball.

After grabbing the ball, Gao Dazhuang was not in a hurry, and patiently played with his back to the single, and finally the 76ers were forced to adopt a double package against Gao Dazhuang.

At this time, Chris Anderson under the basket was empty, and of course the tall and strong would not miss such a good opportunity, jumping, turning and passing, and Anderson received the ball and dunked.

Despite playing more with less, the tall man handled it very reasonably, fully exploiting the threat of his individual scoring ability, putting the 76ers in a dilemma, and then, finalizing the offense with passing.

So, 15 points in the game is really nothing to be frustrated with for Tall Zhuang.

"For this guy with super individual ability and team spirit, as long as the team can maintain his condition and let him score only five points in the whole game, he will probably not refuse," said Howard Baker, a veteran reporter for The New York Times, after the game. (To be continued......)
