The nearly 20,000 seats in the Barclays Center, the Nets' home arena, have long been filled, and as the Nets go from strength to strength, every game day is now a carnival for Nets fans.

After a series of away trips, the return to the home stadium was immediately greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the fans.

"Gao, come on" A familiar voice came, and Gao Dazhuang smiled and turned his head, it was Stephen, an absolute die-hard fan of Gao Dazhuang and the owner of the Nets season ticket? Mr. Zule and his family.

For the enthusiastic fans, Gao Dazhuang also did not hesitate to express his enthusiasm, and crossed the front row of the guest seats to shake hands and hug Mr. Zuler and the fans around him very warmly.

Since joining Brooklyn, Tall and Strong has always been the darling of Nets fans, but today, the player who won the most applause from fans on the scene was not the hot Tall and Strong recently, but Brook Lopez, who has been out of the Nets for a long time.

Nets center Brook Lopez, who has been out for multiple games due to a sprained right foot, made his first appearance in front of fans in nearly two months since he was sidelined.

In fact, yesterday was Lopez's first full intra-team training session since recovering from injury, but today, he appeared in the team's starting lineup, which shows that the Nets coaching staff still has a lot of expectations for him, and of course, the fans have expressed their support for him with enough enthusiastic applause.

In recent times, although the Nets have achieved a pretty good record, the shortcomings of the interior have been restricting the Nets, and Humphries and Evans are both blue-collar players who are excellent defensively. The Nets' interior is almost non-offensive and often becomes the "hardest hit" when facing the league's truly strong teams.

The return of Lobrook Lopez has given fans enough reverie to tackle, and fans have reason to believe that with a tall and strong Nets team, coupled with Deron Williams and Brook Lopez, the Nets should undoubtedly squeeze into the ranks of the league's top teams.

"We can't see Lopez as the savior of the team because he hasn't played for almost two months tomorrow," Nets coach Avery Johnson said in a pre-game interview with reporters.

As soon as Brook López appeared on the pitch, he was immediately surrounded by a swarm of media. Interviews with the media. López said a little shyly: "I feel good now, like I said before, I don't have any restrictions now, my body has fully recovered." Able to participate in team training and competitions. It feels really good."

"Brooke. What do you think of the Nets' performance during your absence," a Brooklyn TV Sports reporter asked.

"The Nets have been fantastic, thank you to my teammates," Lopez said confidently, "and I'm confident when I get back on the court." The team will perform better than before."

"Brooke, what do you think of being tall and strong? Do you think he's the Nets leader now? A New York Times reporter asked a pointed question.

"I'm glad we have such a good young man in our team, but I think the leader of our team should be Coach Johnson, huh, isn't it?" Lopez is clearly reluctant to answer this question.

Just when the reporters found a hint and were about to continue to ask, the Nets' press officer appeared in time to relieve Lopez, and although the reporters were a little dissatisfied, they still got the material they wanted.

Today's game is a refreshed Nets hosting the former challenger Wizards.

The Nets' lineup has changed slightly because of the addition of Brook Lopez: point guard Marshawn Brooklyn, shooting guard Tall Strong, small forward Gerard Wallace, power forward Chris Humphries, and center Brook Lopez.

The Wizards' on-court starting lineup is point guard Bradley Beal, scoring guard Jordan Crawford, small forward Martel Webster, power forward Nene Hilario, and center Emeka Okafor.

Surprisingly, the Wizards' star star, No. 1 pick John Wall, missed the game due to injury, and he didn't even come to New York with the team.

The Nets currently sit in third place in the East with a 22-11 record, while the Wizards are in last place in the East with a 7-26 record, which is currently the worst team in the league.

And the Wizards who are playing away from home have less John Wall, the absolute core of the team, and the Nets have more Brook Lopez, and all the media, experts, and fans agree that the Nets playing at home will not encounter fierce resistance, and they will easily win this game.

In fact, after the game started, the plot was similar to what fans expected, and the Nets launched a fierce offensive against the Wizards from the beginning.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang" Tall and Strong control the ball at the top of the three-point arc, while basketball is constantly shuttling between the tall and strong legs, and the Nets have become accustomed to the first offense being controlled by Tall and Strong.

With Wall sidelined due to injury, Bradley Beal, a rookie in the same year as Tall Strong, was pushed to the No. 1 spot, and the player opposite Tall and Strong was Wizards' backup quarterback Jordan Crawford.

Crawford, who is 1.93 meters tall, can only be considered "okay" in terms of physique, he does have quite good arm span and good explosiveness, but in terms of overall athleticism, he is only average in the entire league at best, and his lack of strength has deducted him a lot of points.

"Cluster" attaches great importance to the tall and strong defense so that Crawford was deceived by a simple virtual point of tall and strong, and Gao Dazhuang immediately seized the opportunity, and a sudden start of change and backward instantly broke through Crawford's defense from the front.

The tall and strong stepped across the free throw line and rushed to the Wizards' inside, at which time the Wizards' interior defender Nene and center Okafor immediately adjusted their positions and quickly formed a pinch attack on the tall and strong.

But the moment he burst into the penalty area, Gao Dazhuang had already noticed that his center Lopez was in the open position because of the opponent's shrinking defense. So Gao Dazhuang did not choose to attack, but after a false shot, a backhand passed the ball to Lopez, who was in the open space.

Lopez picked up the ball and adjusted his pace slightly, and calmly shot before Okafor pounced, the ball crossed a beautiful arc in the air, and with a "brush", the ball went into the net.

0:2, the Nets, who were playing at home, scored first.

"Pretty" is tall and strong, and he gives Lopez a thumbs up.

This is the first time that Gao Dazhuang has played with Lopez, and what surprised Gao Dazhuang the most was that. As a 7-foot big man. Lopez, on the other hand, has an incredibly soft feel.

But soon the Wizards' Bradley Beal equalized the score for the Wizards with a brilliant individual breakaway layup.

The Nets organized the offense again, and it has to be said that Brook Lopez's offense was very distinctive, after the tall and strong broke through the ball again, Brook Lopez, who was near the free throw line, actually shook the defender Okafor with a feint at the moment of receiving the ball. Then one lateral and one lateral retreat. Pull out space to attack. Easy jump shots.

With a "brush", Lopez's shot once again passed through the center of the net.

And in the next game, Gao Dazhuang also deliberately adjusted his offensive mode. It has created a lot of offensive opportunities for Lopez, and Lopez has repeatedly staged similar offensive performances.

In fact, Lopez is not very physical and athletic, but he knows how to use his strengths to play his own characteristics when his physical fitness is relatively weak.

Lopez is a bit like a weakened version of Dirk Nowitzki in terms of his face-frame offense and foot movement, and although the two are in different positions, they are the same type of player.

Lopez, in particular, seems to be slow in attack, but his pace feels good and his fundamentals are good, and his body is relatively balanced and efficient despite sometimes falling behind in constant collisions.

Brook Lopez, who was drafted by the Nets with the tenth pick in '08, went from 12 points and 8 boards in his rookie season to 19 points and 6 boards last season, and Lopez gradually adapted to the NBA, and gradually became the backbone of the Nets' interior line, and also the team's most solid scoring point.

The American media "Rototime" has made a comprehensive evaluation of Lopez, believing that in the next few years, he will grow into one of the best centers in the NBA, and the league has been full of big centers in the past, who can shoot mid-range jumpers, in addition to blocking, Lopez is such a retro player.

NBA legend center Ewing once said of his impression of Lopez: "When I watched him play for the first time, I was blown away by his skills, as long as he can get the ball, he can turn it into a score, he can always threaten the opponent, he is already a great player, as long as he works hard, he will be an outstanding star."

Spurs coach Popovich also praised Lopez's ability, and they agreed that "for a center, he needs to be stronger, and his ability on the defensive end needs to be honed, but in any case, his 19.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.88 blocks per game are good enough."

Many people even feel that Lopez has a lot of Duncan's shadows, such as emotional control, unpretentious offense and defense bring the same efficiency, and Lopez's skills at both ends are relatively well-rounded, as one of the few traditional centers today, he is familiar with various offensive methods at the No. 5 position.

Undoubtedly, the player who played the best in the entire first half was Brook Lopez, who did not look like a player who had just returned from injury after two months, with mid-range shots, hook hands, back-to-back singles, and turnaround jumpers...... All kinds of offensive weapons made him the center of attention of the audience.

Throughout the first half, Brook Lopez made 7 of 13 shots and 3 of 4 free throws to finish with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

Under Lopez's leadership, the Nets also maintained a constant lead, although they had a huge advantage on the court, but the score was 43-47 at halftime.

The Nets, who had been smooth sailing, were only 4 points ahead of the Wizards on the road, which made Nets head coach Johnson's brow tighten.

Before the start of this game, Coach Johnson had been hoping that Lopez's comeback would improve the Nets' combat effectiveness to a higher level, and he had always hoped that Lopez and Tall and Strong could form a strong combination of inside and outside, but the current results are not very ideal.

Although he was tall and strong in the game, he repeatedly played for Lopez, Lopez also played at a good level, and the Nets maintained the lead, but all this still made Coach Johnson feel uneasy.

Because throughout the first half, the team's core was tall and strong, shooting 2 of 6 and 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, which was an unprecedented phenomenon in previous games. (To be continued......)
