Disgrace! Slap in the face!

Tall and strong scored consecutive goals with similar imitation moves to make Joe Johnson feel furious, and the enthusiastic cheers of the Nets fans turned into a huge taunt in Johnson's ears.

Joe Johnson felt he had to fight back, so he took over possession just after half-time and couldn't wait to go straight to the tall and strong.

"Have you been to All-Star? Boy" Johnson approached the tall man with a continuous crotch dribble, and stretched out a palm and said, "I've been, I've been 5 times, it's 5 times."

"Oh, 5 times, it's amazing" Tall and strong pretended to come to his senses, and then said sharply: "But you and I have one thing in common, that is, I don't have championship rings, but you have played for more than ten years and I have only played for two months."

The tall and strong sarcastic language made Johnson feel his blood swell, and now he just wanted to teach the kid standing in front of him a hard lesson.

When the basketball returned to Johnson's hand from the crotch, Johnson suddenly sank his shoulders, changed direction after two consecutive swayes, and slammed into the basket from his flank against the tall and strong.

But Tall and Strong's reaction was very fast, in fact, from Johnson's eyes, Tall and Strong, he could see his super strong desire to attack, so Tall and Strong had already been prepared, and the moment Johnson sank his shoulders, Tall and Strong had already started.

And the tall and strong explosive power is better than Johnson, only to see him move diagonally backwards sideways, successfully blocking Johnson's front and blocking his way forward.

At this time, Johnson, who was red-eyed, only had the basket in his eyes, facing the tall and strong block. He still chose to force his way to the basket.

"Peng", Johnson, who was advancing at high speed, collided with the tall and strong defenders who retreated, Johnson used the impact to open up a little offensive space, and after a small throw, the ball was shot, which is also one of Johnson's best offensive methods.

There was a "snap", but the basketball was intercepted in mid-air as soon as it left Johnson's hand, and he saw the tall and strong leap up, and the raised fingertips blocked the way of the basketball, in fact, in this attack. Johnson was never able to completely shake off the tall and strong defense.

However, the basketball was only interfered with by the tall and strong. Instead of being fanned, he fell on the spot, but just as Johansen was jumping to fight for the ball, someone was quicker than him.

Tall and strong again! It relies on its super secondary bounce ability. He grabbed the ball in his arms before Johnson.

"Huh" defended the opponent's attack. The tall man with the ball in one hand breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glanced up at Johnson, who was also staring at him with resentment.

In fact, for Johnson, Tall and Strong has done some research before the game.

Joe of the Suns back then? Johnson's biggest impression was that he shot 3-pointers next to Nash and shot extremely highly.

After years of experience. Now Joe? Johnson's skills have improved a lot, his offensive means have been much richer, his shooting stability is extremely high, and he has a good catchandshoot ability.

However, due to his physical fitness, his cut-outs are not top-notch, and his cut-ins are more dependent on his own rhythm and then throwing shots against defenders.

After nearly two quarters of competition, Gao Dazhuang also discovered the characteristics of Joe Johnson's offense: first, the single play time is long, and it is generally necessary to start through 3-5 dribbles; the second is the use of a large number of throws in the near frame, basically no dunks; The third is his poor ability to make fouls, and his free throws are much less than the average All-Star.

The most direct reason for all this is that his physical fitness is not top-notch, and his lack of explosiveness and bounce is his fatal flaw.

Because of the lack of explosiveness, Johnson cannot "pass in one step" and needs to dribble multiple times to mobilize the center of gravity of the defender.

Because of the lack of bounce, Johnson was prone to being blocked when he forced an attack on the basket, so he used a lot of throws.

Because of the disadvantage of physical fitness, Johnson's ability to make fouls is very poor.

This is also the reason why Joe Johnson has not been a competent team leader for a long time, and even after his high-salary signing, many experts and fans believe that he is a representative of high salary and low ability.

Basketball legend Larry Bird once said that Johnson's past experience with the Atlanta Hawks can be shortened to: "It's Scottie Pippen, but it's always used as Mike Jordan."

It is for these reasons that Johnson is not destined to be a great scorer, so Johnson's forced shot is not a good choice without getting rid of the tall and strong defense.

After "brushing" just blocked Johnson's offense, he turned back to the opponent's half, and Gao Dazhuang immediately made another shot with a stop-and-go jump shot after a probe step.

The tall and strong consecutive scores also made the Nets fans at the scene excited, and many fans began to chant "MVP, MVP ......".

Unlike Johnson, Tall and Strong's physical fitness is the league's first-class level, and after copying the skills of Irving, Lillard, Curry and others, Tall and Strong has strong singles ability.

Irving's breakout, Lillard's composure, Curry's projection...... In fact, in terms of "one-on-one", Gao Dazhuang has stepped into the ranks of the top players in the league, so in the face of Johnson's single defense, Gao Dazhuang's offense is extremely easy.

Tall and strong's outstanding performance made Johnson's psychology even more unbalanced, and in the next attack, Johnson obviously did not learn the lesson of the last time, and tried to force a breakthrough through Tall and Strong again.

And this time, when Johnson cut into the inside, he also encountered the siege of Wallace, the small forward of the Nets who came to help defend him, and suddenly the tall and strong and Wallace formed a pinching trend against Johnson, who was attacking the inside.

Weekday Joe? Johnson is definitely a team player, with excellent vision and insight on the field, a clear head, often tearing through the opposition's defence through patient and repeated cuts, being able to comfortably pass the ball to open teammates to organise attacks, and playing very unselfishly.

But today's Johnson is full of fire, in the face of the tall and strong defense, he did not think of retreating at all, and he threw his hand again in the face of the two-man bag defense.

Although Johnson in the air avoided the tall block with a difficult fallback. But Wallace, who pounced on the side, "snapped" and slapped Johnson's shot away.

The Nets took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, where Johnson, who was caught off guard, had to take a tactical foul on the tall man who smashed into the basket.

Then the tall and strong hit both free throws, and once again defeated Joe Johnson in both offense and defense.

And this ball is a good explanation of why Johnson is not a superstar, that is, he has no ability to deal with the bag.

Although Johnson is a five-time All-Star shooting guard, his style of play is destined for him to not easily score more than 40 points, and 20 points and 5 assists are Johnson's regular stats.

Johnson often behaves like a "superstar" in the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs and critical moments, Johnson's performance is often substandard.

Because the defensive intensity of both sides in the playoffs is tougher. Johnson, who lacks the ability to make fouls. Relying more on his own jump shot to score, his shooting percentage will plummet when the defensive intensity increases.

And the playoff level of defense is also more targeted, and even the opponent's arrowhead will be trapped. And what Johnson is most afraid of is the bag.

In fact, in this game as well. In the ensuing game. Wallace, who tasted the sweetness, came over frequently to attack, because of his tall stature, his center of gravity was too high. Joe? Johnson made back-to-back errors in the face of the bag and pressing.

And Joe? Johnson is not really a playmaking guard, his ball sense and passing accuracy and accuracy are not as good as those top point guards, he is relatively hesitant to handle the ball in the face of the bag, the timing of the ball is slightly slow, he cannot pass effective short passes and inside passes, and the pass is mostly a pitcher who finds an open position after cutting in.

And because the Jazz's current teammates can generally only block but not dismantle, Johnson can't play a decent blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation.

After Johnson was restricted, the Jazz were left with only Millsap on firepower, and the Nets, led by the tall and strong, began to slowly eat away at the Jazz's lead.

44：49

After halftime, the Nets, who were playing at home, gradually took the initiative and overtook the score.

After all, Joe Johnson is not the same type of player as Kobe and Wade, if Kobe and Wade are stimulated and challenged, they can often burst out with huge energy to fight back against the opponent, and Johnson, who is a little shy, brings him more mistakes, mistakes, and mistakes after being provoked......

Not long after the start of the second half, in the face of tall and wallace's sandwich, Johnson made another low-level mistake, and Gao Dazhuang seized the opportunity to play a counterattack, at which time the Jazz coach made personnel adjustments and replaced Johnson off the court.

For this reason, the battle between Joe Johnson and Gao Dazhuang ended with a complete victory for Gao Dazhuang, and then Gao Dazhuang showed his offensive talent to the cheers of the fans.

Pull-up three-pointers, pull-up jump shots, air-cut layups, and foul ...... Every time he scored, he was greeted with huge cheers from the fans.

In the end, the Nets defeated the visiting Utah Jazz 94-85 to win four in a row.

The best player of the game was undoubtedly won by the Nets' tall and strong, who scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists on 11-of-18 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers, and 9-of-10 free throws.

And "Avengers" Joe Johnson only got 5 minutes of playing time in the fourth quarter, shooting 6-of-16 from the field, 1-of-5 from three-point range, and no free throws, scoring 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, in addition to a game-high 7 turnovers.

Although the Nets won a victory, there is still a hidden danger, that is, their core point guard Deron Williams, Delon only 3 of 15 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, only 9 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.

As soon as the game was over, New York Times reporter NateSilver blocked him at the door of the locker room, "Delon, congratulations on your victory, but you don't look like you're doing well today."

"Of course, it's disappointing, it's not my best form" DeLong replied with a wry smile "I've had some recurrent foot injuries, I've had enough of the injuries, I've had enough of the pain, I just want to stay fit and help the team win, it's not very good right now, but I'll figure it out"

In fact, DeLong has a long history of ankle injuries, both of his ankles were affected by tendonitis last season and were treated with cortisone and platelet-rich plasma injections several times.

Then reporter NateSilver found Nets coach Johnson: "Coach, so far this season, Delon has averaged 39.6% shooting per game, including only 29.4% from three-point range, and even lower in this game, what do you think about this problem?" ”

"Oh, we all know, he's got some foot injuries so he's struggling a little bit with his shooting right now, but he's still one of the best players in what he's been able to do, and we'll fix that together," Johnson responded.

"The Nets are on good momentum at the moment, will the team let Delon go to surgery at this time? Will the Nets continue their winning streak without DeLong? Reporter NateSilver continued to ask.

"It's hard for me to say exactly how much DeLong has brought to our team, but without DeLong, our game would have been a lot more difficult" Coach Johnson suddenly changed his words and said, "Of course, I also have to listen to the team doctor's opinion, we have to protect the player's career, as for whether the team can continue to win streak, I think we have another guy we can trust......"

Delon's injury was just a small episode after the Nets' win over the Jazz, and the crowds in the Nets' locker room and the crowd surrounded by reporters illustrate the influence of the tall and strong now.

The Nets' winning streak and the "crazy" play of the tall and strong have gradually made him a new icon in Brooklyn and even New York, and the tall and strong player in the league at the moment is the most talked-about player in the league. (To be continued......)
