Chapter 389: A New Season High
After Tall made his 11th three-pointer of the game and scored a season-high 56 points, Brooklyn Nets head coach Johnson replaced him.
At this time, there was not a trace of boos in the Bradley Center arena at the home of the Bucks, but there was a burst of applause, obviously tall and strong conquered Milwaukee with strength.
With the referee's whistle, the Brooklyn Nets, who were playing away, defeated the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 107-83.
Brandon-Jennings and Monta-Ellis hurried off the field as soon as the whistle blew, while Tall stood in the middle of the court to be congratulated by teammates and fans.
Jennings paid the price for his words, the Bucks were slaughtered in the first half by dunking the ball in an almost savage way, and in the second half, the Bucks were slaughtered 11 times beyond the three-point line! Here's ESPN's post-match review of the game.
So far this season, there are tall and strong in the league, Durant and Curry have scored more than 50 points in a single game, of which Gao Dazhuang has scored 50 points twice, and Durant's 52 points in the Thunder's away game against the Mavericks is currently the highest single-game score in the league.
Today, though, he re-established the league's single-game scoring record for the season: in the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, he scored an NBA career-high 56 points on 19-of-24 shooting, including 11-of-13 three-pointers and 7-of-8 free throws, in addition to seven rebounds and six assists.
What's even more amazing is that in this game-breaking game, Gao Dazhuang hung a "zero egg" in the first quarter. didn't score a single point, but Gao Dazhuang scored 17 points in the second quarter, 15 points in the third quarter, and 24 points in the 9 minutes of the fourth quarter.
Tall Zhuang's 56 points not only broke the current league season single-game scoring record, but his 24 points in a single quarter was also the highest score of a player in a single quarter this season.
And its 56 points today are also the highest in the Nets' franchise history since Deron Williams' 57 points last season.
In the past 26 years, there are only two players who can score 57 points and 6 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game, one is the "big general" Arenas, on December 17, 2006, Arenas, who was still playing for the Wizards at the time, scored 60 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in the game with the Lakers.
The second is the tall and strong teammate Deron Williams. He had 57 points, six rebounds and seven assists in last year's home game against the Bobcats.
As a result, Gao Dazhuang became the third player in the past 26 years to play such magnificent statistics.
And the game. It only took 24 shots for Gao Dazhuang to score 56 points, and in the past 26 years, there have been a total of five stars who have been able to score 56+ high points with so few shots like Gao Dazhuang.
They were Karl Malone (61 points on 26 shots), Jordan (59 points on 27 shots and 58 points on 25 shots), Reggie Miller (57 points on 29 shots), Dominique Wilkins (57 points on 28 shots), and Deron Williams (57 points on 29 shots).
After this battle. Tall and strong also managed to compete with the above stars. He became the sixth player in nearly 26 years to put in such an efficient performance.
Other than that. Gao Dazhuang, who scored 56 points in the game, hit 11 three-pointers in a single game in this game, just one goal short of the previous league record.
Prior to that, the league's single-game three-point record was held by Kobe Bryant and Marshall. Both of them made 12 three-pointers in a single game.
But it is worth mentioning that Gao Dazhuang shot 11 of 13 three-pointers in this game, and the 84.6% shooting rate was terrifying, which can rank second among players who shot more than 10 three-pointers in a single game.
The number one is Lawson of the Nuggets, who shot 10 of 11 three-pointers in a single game in the 11~12 season, and the outside shooting rate reached an incredible 90.9%!
After enumerating so many statistics, the greatness of this game is clear at a glance.
In fact, before the game, Nets coach Johnson was a little worried that Gao Dazhuang might usher in a low ebb after his "amazing" performance during the All-Star break, especially if there were major changes to the team's lineup.
However, Gao Dazhuang not only did not fall into the slump, but also played a "milestone" game in the second game after the All-Star break: in this game, the Nets won the game, they kept behind in the first half, but in the second half, Gao Da Zhuang was powerful, scored 39 points in the half, and successfully led the team to achieve a comeback.
"Once I found out that I could hit three-pointers in various positions, I knew it was going to be a good night," said he was in the locker room after the game, surrounded by reporters, and he was in a good mood and kept answering reporters' questions.
At this time, a reporter suddenly asked: "How did you get the ball in the face of Brandon Jennings' tight defense?" ”
Gao Dazhuang glanced at the reporter and simply threw out a sentence: "I didn't see him", which caused an uproar at the scene.
"That's what he's good at, that's what he likes to do, that's what he's been training for," Brooklyn Nets coach Johnson said in his post-game press conference.
"His attacking power is amazing, he can break through, he can shoot" Johnson was full of praise for Tall Zhuang's individual attacking ability when answering reporters about Tall Zhuang's performance: "He hit some difficult balls, which is what a great player should do, he shot and passed well, and the team relied on his play to win the victory".
Bucks assistant coach Jim Boylan also praised the tall man in his postgame press conference: "No matter what we do, he still finds a way to shoot the ball in, he's really great."
"He's hungry to win this game as much as we want to beat him and their team," Bucks assistant coach Jim Boylan continued, "but this is the Bucks vs. Nets game." It's not a duel between Tall and Strong and us, or between us and Tall and Strong, but sadly, he alone broke us."
After the game, even the usually taciturn Kaulai-Leonard expressed his praise to reporters for his tall and strong: "He's a great player, he scored every key goal in heads-up, and it's because of his play that we were able to win this game, and I and I am honored to be his teammates, not opponents."
"Gao Dazhuang has simply turned on the game mode, and he has turned on, his three-point range is simply insane," said "Basketball Insider" after the game, commenting on Gao Dazhuang's play.
"Hey. Top dog. You've got to teach me how to throw the ball from beyond the three-point line into the opponent's basket with such ease again" On the bus leaving the court, the Nets' Lance Stephenson began to pester the tall man for "shooting cheats".
"Are you sure you really want to learn?" Gao Dazhuang glanced at Stephenson, who was full of excitement, and said.
"Really!" Stephenson nodded decisively, looking at the tall and strong with anticipation.
"Okay," Tall Stout stared at Stephenson's face for a few seconds. Touching his chin, he pretended to be calm and said: "The most important thing for accurate shooting is to learn to calculate the trajectory." It's the dynamics and angles. If the force is not constant, the Quadratic Differential Equation of Vx and Vy is still true, but the angular velocity w is the amount of the variable that changes with the magnitude of F, so the speed and arc of the later shot need to be increased by e and ......"
"Blah blah. Are you sure you're not kidding me? Stephenson clearly didn't understand what Tall and Strong was saying.
"Really, that's what it's written in books" Gao Dazhuang is right, that's what is written in physics books, but it just has nothing to do with shooting.
"Really? Don't lie to me, I don't read much," Stephenson said as he touched his head and wondered.
"Of course, this is just a theory, the most important thing is to practice a lot in practice" When he saw Stephenson's eager look, Gao Dazhuang hurriedly poured cold water on him: "But it's not more in the game, but more in the usual practice"
"Oh" Stephenson, though he didn't understand it too much, put on an open face to be taught.
No matter how Lance Stephenson's shooting level will develop in the future, at least in terms of shooting, he is completely tall and strong.
In addition, in the game against the Bucks, Gao Dazhuang received a technical foul because of the conflict with Jennings, but Gao Dazhuang, who was in a good mood for breaking the record, obviously didn't care about this, so he also posted a tweet: "Today, I received a technical foul and fined me $2,000...... I was a little angry when I realized that that meant 2,000 chicken malleys or 4,000 quesadillas......"
……
After this game, Gao Dazhuang's performance immediately caused a shock in the league, and many media, experts and fan forums have fully affirmed the current performance of Gao Dazhuang and the Brooklyn Nets.
However, ESPN immediately released a report: Heat owner Pat Riley went so far as to suggest that the Brooklyn Nets take a "trade" for their other key player, Deron Williams, in a recent radio interview.
"Look at how the Nets are doing right now! If they want to build a championship squad with tall and strong as the absolute core, then one question has to be considered: should they trade DeLong? Pat Riley said abruptly in an interview with reporters.
In fact, the Nets have risen strongly this season and are currently in third place in the East, and the threat to the top Miami Heat in the East has gradually increased, and the Brooklyn Nets have become a roadblock for the Miami Heat on the road to the Eastern Conference championship, so the shrewd Pat Riley began to fan the flames next to him.
Of course, the point he mentioned also caused some people to think deeply, this season, the tall and strong came out of nowhere, breaking multiple league records in a row, as if he was the best rookie in the past decade.
But what about Deron Williams? A veteran All-Star player, the Nets also invited him to join with an absolute core commitment, and now the biggest question in front of the Nets is whether Delon will succumb to the tall and strong after recovering from injury?
At this time, some people will also question Pat Riley: "You persuaded the Brooklyn Nets to trade DeLong, so would you trade Bosh?" ”
"I would never do that! We've formed a team as a whole, and maybe I'm a little selfish, but that's what happened," Pat Riley continued, "so I'm just making a hypothesis that while I'm suggesting that the Nets trade DeLong, I don't think they're going to do that, but then the Nets will have to make some choices."
Riley's remarks immediately caused great dissatisfaction among the Brooklyn Nets, and Coach Johnson shook his head when he heard it, saying that he didn't want to deal with Pat Riley, and Delon himself sneered.
"Oh, no, no, I won't respond" Deron Williams, who was gradually resuming training, walked out of the massage room and came to the locker to change his equipment, the reporter went up to relay his remarks to Riley, the reporter only mentioned Riley's name, and before the question was finished, Delon couldn't wait to interrupt, "I don't even want to pay attention to him, I won't comment on it, he can say what he wants to say, I won't fight him".
Brooklyn Nets general manager Billie King also took the initiative to respond to reporters, saying that the Nets will not issue a formal protest to the NBA, but according to NBA policy, the league will investigate the matter and Pat Riley may face a fine.
"We know what Pat Riley is saying, and I don't think it's appropriate for him to say it," Billy King said publicly in front of reporters.
And the Nets fans on the Internet also set off a wave of protest against Pat Riley's scolding, "I think our performance caused some people to be uneasy" Gao Dazhuang then also posted a message on Werther, which was immediately reposted by the majority of Nets fans. (To be continued......)
