"Hey, it looks like you can't handle him" During the break, Lance-Stephenson, who was dressed in a suit, suddenly leaned into Tall Zhuang's ear and whispered.

"What a good player" Gao Dazhuang didn't seem to care about Stephenson's words, but Gao Dazhuang's next sentence made Stephenson's face turn sideways, and he saw Gao Dazhuang wipe the sweat on his forehead with a towel and then said talkatively: "He entered the league a year later than you, but he played better than you"

"He? Jokes, I'll beat him up on the court" Stephenson's personality makes him never give in easily, which is also a reflection of New York's street basketball culture.

"Oh, really? At least he's the team's main force now," and the tall and strong man poured cold water on the confident Stephenson.

"I'm also a workhorse in Indiana," Stephenson's words clearly irritated Stephenson, who retorted with indignant excitement.

"But now in Brooklyn, we have the strongest backcourt in the league, and the Nets will be even stronger after Deron returns" Stephenson's answer made Stephenson obviously stunned, obviously trying to snatch the position of the main backcourt between Deron Williams and Tall Strong, and Stephenson, who is proud, is not sure.

"Hey, but there's going to be time for you to prove yourself, I hope you don't let me down" The tall man patted the stunned Stephenson on the shoulder with his hand, and then got up and returned to the court.

Nets head coach Johnson also made another roster change in the final quarter: "Birdman" Anderson and Reggie Evans, the most powerful player in the Nets, came on to replace starting Brook Lopez and Gerald Wallace. Obviously, the coach hopes that the new two players can curb the Nuggets' "half-orcs" outburst.

However, it was the Nets guard who broke out first in the fourth quarter.

Just 10 seconds into the fourth quarter, after receiving a pass from Korver on the right side of the baseline, a dexterous feint suddenly accelerated sideways and flashed over the defending Brewer, and instantly broke through to the basket.

The tall and strong man who broke through to the basket jumped high, holding the ball in both hands and wanted to dunk, but at this time, the Nuggets' "half-orc" Faried's defense was very fast, and he roared, his arms outstretched, and he pounced from the side. Its figure completely engulfs its tall and strong.

When the two bodies were about to collide head-on. Tall and strong took the ball in his arms and shrank sideways in the air to dodge, deftly avoiding Faried's block and sliding from one side of the basket to the other.

After dodging the block, the tall man immediately stretched out his body. The right hand throws the ball out with one hand. "Bang". The tall man smashed the ball into the basket with a pull-back dunk and dunked.

"Oh" The tall and strong dunk inside immediately won a cheer from the fans, and even Stephenson, who was sitting on the sidelines, applauded a little embarrassed.

A minute later. Tall and strong attacked again, Brewer and Lawson both failed to clamp Tall and Strong, and Tall and Strong changed direction and forcibly broke through between the duo in the Nuggets backcourt.

"Doot" the referee's whistle sounds, "defensive foul".

Despite pulling Gao Da Zhuang in the air, Faried still couldn't stop Gao Da Zhuang's shot, and after the referee's whistle, Gao Da Zhuang borrowed the super strong air and made a one-handed pick.

"Brush", 2+1!

Stephenson is worthy of a straight character, and the wonderful goal just now made him scream and wave his fists with excitement, as if he had scored himself, but soon he frowned again, obviously the stronger the tall and strong, the greater the pressure on him.

"The Nets aren't a good mix," Stephenson whispered thoughtfully, touching his chin.

Tall and strong's consecutive breakaway points forced the Nuggets to step up their defense of his bag, but Tall Staman's continuous cross-sliding steps and realistic false movements kept defenders from taking easy shots.

The tall and strong eyes have been patrolling the whole court, like a beast looking for prey, and the tall and strong state also makes the Nuggets players extremely uncomfortable.

"Bang" The tall and strong slammed the ball to the ground, and the whole person suddenly bowed and wanted to break through from Brewer's flank.

At this time, the other players of the Nuggets immediately shrank their defense, and not only the Nuggets players, but all the players on the entire court were mobilized by the tall and strong.

Just when Brewer felt that he would not be able to stop the fast breakthrough of the tall and strong, the tall and strong suddenly stopped, and the whole body and the basketball under his control slowed down and almost stopped.

Under the puzzled gaze of the Nuggets players, the tall and strong threw the ball away.

"Pop" basketball accurately across half of the court, to the bottom corner outside the three-point line of Korver's hands, in the vacant position after receiving the ball immediately shot, just like in training, "brush" sound, three-point hit.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Nets played a wave of attack under the leadership of Gao Dazhuang to pull the score away, and then the Nets have been controlling the situation on the court with ease.

Although Faried tried to launch a comeback in the closing stages of the game, the Nets at home were clearly not something he could compete with.

In the end, the Denver Nuggets lost 95-110 to the Brooklyn Nets.

The most eye-catching thing in this game after the game was not the tall man who scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and led the team to victory, but the Nuggets "Half-Orc" Kenneth Faried, who grabbed 22 rebounds on the losing side.

In last year's NBA Draft, Faried was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 22nd pick in the first round.

Despite being only 2.03 meters tall as power forward, Faried made a name for himself early in college, even breaking the NCAA record for total rebounds held by Tim Duncan.

As it turned out, the Nuggets had a unique eye, and after a brief period of adaptation, Faried gradually became the Nuggets' starting power forward as Nene Hilario was traded to the Washington Wizards.

Faried's fierce and tough style made him known to his teammates and fans alike as "Half-Orc".

His nickname "Manimal" comes from an American drama of the same name, which was born in 1983, before Faried was born.

Last season, Faried's emergence made the media exclaim that "TheManimal has come back to life", and this season, "Half-Orcs" are not only alive, but are becoming more and more terrifying.

Kenneth Farid played 35 minutes in this game, scoring 17 points, 22 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals on 8-of-13 shooting, including as many as 11 frontcourt rebounds, setting a new career high, which is also a new offensive rebounding high for Nuggets players in five years since Anthony picked up 12 frontcourt rebounds in December 2007, and Faried once again labeled himself as an "efficient double-double machine".

Last week, Faried just won the Western Conference Player of the Week, he averaged 16.8 points, 15.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1 steal per game, shooting 59.3% from the field, helping the Nuggets win four consecutive games, all four of which Faried got a "double-double".

So far this season, there have been 10 players in the league who have averaged a double-double of points + rebounds per game, with Farid playing the fewest minutes at 29.8 minutes per game.

Faried has been running tirelessly on the court, jumping and rebounding, averaging 13.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season, and even more staggeringly, half of his offensive and defensive rebounds.

So far this season, Farid has averaged 5.1 frontcourt rebounds per game, which is the offensive rebounding leader this season, and since Dennis Rodman averaged 5.3 frontcourt rebounds per game in the 1997-1998 season, no player has averaged more than five frontcourt rebounds per game in the past 15 years, so many experts and media predict that he may even become the next Dennis Rodman.

At the post-game press conference, despite the loss, Nuggets coach Karl still showed a knowing smile when talking about his favorite Faried: "I often praise this kid, this is only his second season, but I praise him more than some veterans who have played for several years, I am like this, play well, praise when I should praise, and I am not stingy." I remember after one training session, I couldn't really find a better compliment, and I said to him, "Son, you're already an indispensable part of us."

Maybe it's because of his nature, maybe it's deliberately humble, at the press conference, when Faried was asked "how he played so passionately and crazy", he just said quietly: "I just want to give it my all, I have no reason not to fight, when I grab a rebound under the basket, I will try to put the ball in the basket, this is my style".

At the press conference, when a reporter called him a "star player", Faried responded shyly: "It's not that I don't aspire to be a star, but I know I'm a little bit now, so I don't think too much about it, I just want to be able to release my energy on the court."

Gao Dazhuang also followed coach Johnson to attend the post-match press conference, and he didn't care about the "orc" Faried stealing the limelight, and he also gave his opponent great praise: "That's a very athletic guy, he caused us a lot of problems, but his hard work on the court also indirectly stimulated me"

However, when he left the press conference at the end of the press conference, Gao Dazhuang whispered in Coach Johnson's ear: "I think he is a good puzzle piece"
