The Brooklyn Nets' next game is an away game against the Washington Wizards, who ended a day at Disney and flew straight to Washington, D.C., to join his teammates.

It just so happened that today was the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Chinese lunar calendar, and an important factor in the departure of his tall and strong girlfriend Summer and sister Gao Jiaxiu to the United States was to accompany Gao Dazhuang to spend his first foreign Spring Festival.

However, due to the schedule of the competition, this Spring Festival can only be spent in the stadium, but the summer and Gao Jiaxiu don't care very much, they both like to see the tall and strong figure galloping on the court, so today is definitely a particularly meaningful Spring Festival for them.

By the time Gao Dazhuang and his teammates converged, there were only four hours left before the start of the official game, but at this time, the atmosphere of the team was a little weird, and Brooks, who was recently promoted by the team as the starting point guard, was greeting his teammates in turn.

"Hey, I wish you all the best, you have to believe in your strength" Gao Dazhuang did not hide anything, but walked straight over very simply and sent his blessings.

"Today is your New Year, I wish you a happy new year, I want to say that the days with you are really wonderful" Brooks gave Tall and Strong a big hug.

In fact, the team has been mulling a number of trade plans lately, and the tall and strong who has been identified by the team as the cornerstone of the team is fully involved in the discussions of these trades. Prokhov, general manager Billy King, and coach Johnson all attach great importance to the opinions put forward by Gao Dazhuang, and it can even be said that Gao Dazhuang's opinions have been able to influence the operation of the team.

So Gao Dazhuang knows that the Nets will officially announce a trade information today, and Brooks is the protagonist in this trade.

The main reason for the Nets' trade is to solve the Nets' single point of attack. In particular, the depth of the bench and the weakness of the attacking ability, including the signing of Korver in the last trade, are also the reasons for this.

Since Brooks served as the starting point guard of the Nets, although his performance has not reached an amazing level, it is also remarkable, but the "thorn" traded by the Nets this time is completely different from Brooks's style, he is a real "nerve knife".

"Kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred" This is what Gao Dazhuang said about him, but from one aspect, Gao Dazhuang feels that the team really needs this kind of maverick player, who can greatly enrich the tactical coordination and lineup structure of the Nets.

……

Just before the start of the game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Washington Wizards, ESPN and Yahoo broke the news that the Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets had completed a trade proposal for "Rudy Gaye".

Undoubtedly, All-Star Rudy Gay was the centerpiece of the deal. His presence also made the deal attract a lot of media attention.

Here's how the trade went: The Grizzlies sent Rudy Gay. The Nets got point guard Marshawn Brooks and tall small forward Mirza Telitovic, as well as a second-round draft pick, as well as a trade exception and some cash from the Pacers.

The Pacers sent shooting guard Lance Stephenson and a trade exception and some cash to All-Star Rudy Gay.

The Nets sent point guards Marshawn Brooks and Mirza Telitovic, as well as a second-round pick, point guard Lance Stephenson.

The deal was initiated by the Memphis Grizzlies. At the helm of the new Grizzlies owner, Robert Parra. The Grizzlies can't wait to "slim down" the team. They started with the big contract All-Star Rudy Gay.

The Grizzlies dumped Rudy Gay on a five-year, $81.6 million contract to the Pacers so they could free up nearly $30 million in salary space at the start of next season.

In this way, they can bring in more suitable outside players in the free agent market. And rebuild the team around the inside lineup led by Randolph and Gasol Jr.

And although the Grizzlies guards Tony Allen and Mike Conley are strong, the bench lineup is weak, especially since Conley has been trapped by a back injury recently and missed several games, which has also made it difficult for the Grizzlies to move forward in the West.

The Grizzlies need a reliable bench for that, and 24-year-old Shawn Brooks is a good choice.

Brooks has been playing for the Nets since he entered the NBA, originally mediocre and with an annual salary of only 1 million, but this year when Deron Williams was absent due to injury, Brooks unexpectedly got the starting position, averaging 9.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, all of which are career highs.

The Pacers are now in third place in the East and are very competitive, but after the injury of Granger, the core of the team, the team has been known for defense, but to wrestle in the East and Miami, defense alone is not enough.

So the Pacers decided to take a bold "gamble", although Rudy Gay was born as a small forward, but he has also been a swingman in college, the Pacers are interested in his ability to average 20 points per game, and they believe that the combination of Rudy Gay and Paul George can compete with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

To that end, they will not hesitate to give up potential newcomer Stephenson and carry the luxury tax next year, because the Pacers believe that now is the best time for them to achieve results, and this trade represents their title challenge.

Of course, another important reason for this is Stephenson himself.

Since Stephenson was born in street ball, it is a strong question whether he can adapt to the NBA starter, and many media and experts believe that Stephenson's best prospect is a crazy bench bandit, and his template is also the "nerve knife" JR Smith of the New York Knicks.

In addition, Stephenson has long been considered an immature player, and on August 17, 2010, he was arrested by the police for assaulting his girlfriend in his New York home, and in the confrontation, Stephenson pushed his girlfriend Williams down ten steps.

This incident also made Pacers general manager Larry? Bird was disappointed.

April 2011. The Pacers made it to the playoffs, but they had to resort to non-injury attrition: Rookie Stephenson was banned from playing in the final two games of the regular season and the entire playoffs after another foul of team rules.

However, Stephenson is optimistic about this trade, and since the Pacers have given up on him, it is a good option to return to his hometown of New York to play.

The Nets, on the other hand, have strengthened their bench depth and offensive ability through this trade.

Although Lance Stephenson is a thorn, he was born on September 5, 1990 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, and is a native of Brooklyn, and has been hailed as the new hope of New York street basketball, so playing in his hometown will undoubtedly better stimulate his desire to win.

Pacers center Hibbert once said. "When training. Stephenson would often tell us that Brooklyn, Brooklyn, brother is from Brooklyn. You're all going away." It can be seen that he cares a lot about "New York".

And the core of the team is tall and strong, thinking that he can restrain this "thorn". Head coach Johnson believes Stephenson's ability is worth the gamble.

Because DeLong was absent due to injury, the entire team did not have a particularly strong offensive player except for being tall and strong. Being so tall and strong is also easy to be defended by opponents.

And Lance? Stevenson's physical strength is outstanding, he has super one-on-one ability, he is incomparably sharp on the break, his mid-range shooting is top-notch, and his scoring is like a probe.

Through this transaction, the Nets' backcourt strength has been greatly improved, and the backcourt lineup composed of the "rookie king" Gao Dazhuang and the veteran All-Star Deron Williams is second to none in the entire league.

Now with the addition of potential newcomer Stephenson, with the addition of veterans Starkerhouse and Delfino, the Nets' backcourt structure and depth are complete.

Due to the advent of the Chinese New Year, the NBA league will hold the "2013 NBA New Year" event from the 8th to the 15th.

The event was held to thank Chinese fans for their long-standing support of the NBA and was the largest international fan giveback program ever launched by the league.

In the game, Gao Dazhuang did not disappoint tens of millions of fans in China.

Although in the previous games, the Wizards defeated the Clippers and the Knicks one after another, but today the Nets made them realize that they are still only the "vice president" at the bottom of the league.

Since it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the tall man was particularly excited, and he stepped up from the beginning of the game, hitting a jumper and then hitting a beautiful 3+1 on Wall's body.

Under the leadership of the tall and strong, the Nets took a nine-point lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Wizards' offense stalled, scoring no points in the five-and-a-half-minute athletic battle, and all 10 shots missed the basket.

The Nets took the opportunity to play a 15-2 offensive surge, and at halftime, the Nets led 53-34.

In the second half, the Nets played more and more smoothly, and at one point extended their lead to as many as 20 points, but the Wizards playing at home certainly did not want to be restrained.

In the final quarter of the game, the Wizards played tight defense on the defensive end, and the offensive end also improved slightly, and the Wizards continued to attack Nene and "champion" Wall, leading the Wizards to play a wave of 10:0 attacks, narrowing the difference to 10 points.

But at the critical moment, Gao Dazhuang scored two consecutive breakthroughs and scored a violent dunk, which greatly boosted the team's morale, and then assisted Korver to hit a three-pointer to open the gap again.

With 8:10 left in the fourth quarter, both sides pulled their main lineups, and the game went into garbage time, and the Nets eventually defeated the Wizards 106-85 on the road.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Gao Dazhuang completely controlled the situation on the court, playing 38 minutes, shooting 14-of-23, including 4-of-7 three-pointers and 8-of-9 free throws, scoring a game-high 40 points plus seven rebounds and four assists.

In the whole game, five Nets players scored double-doubles, in addition to being tall and strong, Lopez scored 17 points and 5 rebounds; Korver hit five three-pointers and scored 15 points; Wallace had 13 points and nine rebounds; Stackhouse, who served as the team's starting point guard, also handed over 11 points and 7 assists, and the Nets won a big victory. (To be continued......)

PS: In order to be able to make the tall and strong go further, the team began to upgrade, Birdman Anderson, three-point shooter Korver, thorn head Stephenson, who is next?
