Chapter 325: Crazy Ten Consecutive Victories

At the start of the second half, Irving continued to play well in the first half, a breakaway layup gave the Cavaliers the first shot, but the Nets' Wallace immediately used a layup and a jumper to keep the Nets in the lead, and then the two teams entered a tug-of-war and scored each other, and the score was also deadlocked.

At this time, the rookie who is directly opposite the tall and strong on the court is the fourth pick this year, Dieng? Vitesse, in fact, during the rookie joint tryout, Tevez impressed the tall and strong.

Vitesse is very physical, not only good at breaking through with the ball, but also creating open scoring opportunities for his teammates, and due to his excellent athleticism, he is very good at attacking in the transition between attack and defense, and is good at changing direction in the fast break, and can effectively attract the defence, but once the team is in positional battle, he sometimes can't find good shots.

In the game, Vitesse is never afraid of physical contact, and is very good at using covers, soft shots within the free throw arc, and can also catch the ball and shoot in the high post, but fortunately, his shooting rate is not very good today, so Tall Zhuang's strategy for him is to prevent breakouts and not prevent shots, and Tevez is currently only 2 of 10 shots.

Defensively, Vitesse is only 1.93 meters tall and his sheer speed is not fast, making him look inexperienced when it comes to defending one-on-one defenders at the top of the free-throw arc.

Of course, Gao Dazhuang will not let go of this opportunity, and Gao Dazhuang, who controls the absolute ball in the Nets, frequently began to ask his teammates for the ball: first a back-to-back single and then turned to break through to the basket, then hit consecutive jumpers, and then scored a three-point shot at the top of the three-point arc. Led the Nets to an 11-2 offensive wave.

When the referee's whistle blew, the Cavaliers coach replaced the mediocre Waiters with backup quarterback C.J. Myers, and also announced that the duel between the No. 3 rookie and the No. 4 rookie ended in a tall and strong victory.

However, the Cavaliers achieved miraculous results after replacing Miles, C.J. Myers is also physically excellent, with outstanding three-point ability in the bottom corner, daring to shoot, and good ball control and passing ability.

The Cavaliers went on an 8-0 offensive spurt in the final 1:9 of the quarter, led by Irving and Myers, and trailed the Nets only 74-79.

The Cavaliers' momentum continued in the final quarter, and Irving scored points on consecutive breakaways from Brooks, and his lack of ability and experience made Brooks a little helpless against a strong Irving. But when the tall and strong start to help the defense. Irving, who has a strong view of the big picture, began to share the ball frequently.

Today's C.J. Myers is even hotter, receiving Irving's pass twice in a row and throwing in three points, and he has put in seven three-pointers in this game.

After that, the two teams entered a tug-of-war again, with 46.8 seconds left in the game. Irving scored a dunk on the fast break. The Cavaliers trailed only 97-100.

Tall and strong also made a defensive foul on Myers with a breakaway. However, at the critical moment, Gao Dazhuang only hit one of two free throws, and Myers hit his eighth three-pointer of the game with 5.9 seconds left before the end to chase the score to 100:101.

The Cavaliers saw hope of an equalizer. As soon as the Nets served, the Cavaliers made a tactical foul on the tall man who held the ball, but this time the free throw shot did not disappoint the fans, and he made both free throws cleanly.

After two free throws from the Tall, the Cavaliers still had a chance to make one last shot, and after a brief timeout, the Cavaliers launched their last offense of the game, leaving them with only five seconds to play.

"Huh?" Irving suddenly found that the defensive player standing in front of him at the moment turned out to be the core of the Nets, tall and strong, which was also the last defensive strategy laid out by Coach Johnson.

Coach Johnson predicted that there was an 80% chance that the Cavaliers' final attack would be completed by their core Irving, who has a strong individual combat ability, so Coach Johnson decisively decided to let the tall and strong single defense Irving.

Because although the tall and strong defense is not very strong, the tall and strong have a slight advantage in height, strength, and explosiveness, and Coach Johnson hopes that these can make up for the lack of experience in the tall and strong.

As the referee blew the whistle, Owen began to run rapidly, and the tall and strong immediately began to follow in the inner circle.

No surprises! Some Cavaliers players began to cover Irving, who was running without the ball, but as soon as the tall and strong got rid of the first screener, a second player immediately stepped forward to cover again.

The Cavaliers actually had a double-cover strategy against Irving, who was off the ball!

There was a "snap", and at this time, the Knight's throw-in was also sent directly to Owen.

"Bad" Tall and Strong is now almost certain that the Cavaliers' final attack will be carried out by Owen.

"Pop", "pop", "pop" balls continued to intersperse at Irving's feet, and the other Cavaliers teams opened up the offensive gap, and at this moment only the tall and strong were standing in front of Irving.

Tall and strong arms outstretched, mental power highly concentrated, eyes fixed on Owen's eyes, hoping to see Owen's next move from his eyes.

At this time, Owen moved, and the tall and strong immediately pounced, because the Cavaliers are currently 3 points behind, and Owen's breakthrough is meaningless.

Sure enough, at this time, Owen made a feint and retreated, and shot directly outside the three-point line, but because the tall and strong forward pounce was very timely, Owen had to retreat to a meter outside the three-point line, and in order to avoid the tall and strong block, Owen's shot was also quite fast, and there was an obvious push action at the end.

A long-range three! The ball is shot smoothly.

"If you lose your rhythm, you won't score" Gao Dazhuang kept silently thinking in his heart, and at this time, all the players on the court and the fans in the stands held their breath and watched the basketball flying in the air.

"When", Irving made a three-point shot at the last moment, and most of the basketball had already entered the basket, but it bounced out again, and the Cavaliers were unlucky and could not escape a defeat.

"YEAH" saw the ball bounce out of the basket, and the tall and strong waved his fists excitedly, winning ten in a row!

At this moment, the DJs and fans in the Barclays Center arena let out a piercing scream, who would have thought that such a team lacking major generals would unknowingly achieve ten consecutive wins.

The Nets' all-time winning streak is 14, from January 26, 2004 to February 25, 2004. The Nets won a record 14 in a row, ending their winning streak on Feb. 26, 2004, when they lost 68-81 to the Timberwolves. From March 13, 2006 to April 7, 2006, the Nets won another 14-game winning streak until April 9, 2006, when they lost 102-108 at home to the Cavaliers.

In that game, the Nets were led by Carter and Kidd, and the Cavaliers were led by LeBron James, the league's number one star today, who contributed 37 points and 7 assists in that game. It ended the Nets' fourteen-game winning streak.

Today, the broken Nets led by tall and strong won ten consecutive victories against the Cavaliers. In this game, Gao Dazhuang also picked up the team's offensive responsibility, shooting 14 of 31 from the field, 6 of 8 free throws, and scoring a game-high 36 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

Another key contributor to the Nets is Gerard Wallace, who started as a power forward. He had a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds.

The Cavaliers' top scorer turned out to be backup quarterback C.J. Myers. Myers shot 11-of-15 from the field. He scored 33 points on 8-of-10 three-pointers and tied the Cavaliers' all-time record with eight three-pointers in a single game. The previous record was held by LeBron James.

Irving, on the other hand, shot 10-of-19 and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 27 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists.

After the game, the Cavaliers coach praised Gao Dazhuang as the next scoring champion in the league, and Irving also modestly said to the media that Gao Dazhuang played better.

Nets coach Johnson gave more praise to the team's veteran Gerard Wallace: "Gerard Wallace is a beast, what are we missing the most in the game?" Yes, what we lacked was the attitude and winning spirit of Gerard Wallace, so without Gerard Wallace we would have been very tough."

Later, Coach Johnson praised the team's owner, Prokhorov, saying, "He wants to win a championship, he's going to do anything to win a championship, he's going to give us a lot of strength, he's going to continue to improve this team, there's no doubt that he knows this team very well and he knows the NBA very well"......

At the end of the day, the two men were firmly in the headlines of various sections of the NBA.

One is Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers, "Hoop World" published an article: "St. Paul! The first point guard who has no solution, and the Clippers lost a battle and was won back by him."

The Los Angeles Clippers narrowly defeated the Utah Jazz 116-114 on the road, winning 16 consecutive games and currently ranking first in the league, and it is worth mentioning that the Clippers won all 16 games in the entire month of December, becoming the third team in 67 years to achieve a 16-0 record in a single month.

Chris Paul was in a big second half and was consistent in crunch time, scoring a game-high 33 points on 10-of-18 shooting and 13-of-14 from the free-throw line, along with 10 assists.

Of his 33 points, 25 came in the second half, including 18 points in the fourth quarter.

The more critical the moment, the more relentless, Paul's leadership ability is beyond doubt, after the game in the face of 16 consecutive wins, he also bluntly said: "Winning first is not winning, winning later is really winning, these are all false, the regular season is not the point."

In the latest All-Star voting statistics released yesterday, Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant, the "Los Angeles Twins", also ranked in the top two West Coast guards.

The second to dominate the headlines is the tall and strong Nets, and "Sports Illustrated" even pointed out: "The strongest rookie is born, 30+ games in eleven consecutive games, will the scoring champion belong to the rookie?" ”

What's more valuable is that the Nets with him as the absolute core have won ten consecutive victories and firmly occupy the top four positions in the East.

While the tall and strong continue to explode, and the discussion about who makes and who loses his trade three teams has also resumed, for this reason, Dan Farvir of "Grandstand Sports" also re-evaluated the tall and strong trade, and made a detailed analysis of the three teams' chips and current performance:

1. Husdow Rockets and Al Jefferson

Rating: A-

The Rockets have been doing well so far, and the Rockets are now much better than they were in the same games last season, and they have found a suitable helper for Harden through a trade, and most importantly, the Rockets are now among the Western Conference playoff teams.

The Rockets were supposed to be a rebuilding team even with Harden, but suddenly, they had achieved their goal through a trade.

Al Jefferson's arrival has successfully made up for the Rockets' interior shortcomings, improving his footwork and defensive ability, and he has also activated players such as Jeremy Lin and Chandler Parsons, and even Asik has begun to shine around him.

The trade boosted the Rockets, and the Rockets' only regret in this trade was to give up a tall man with even greater future potential, and he could become the league's top player.

2. Utah Jazz and Joe Johnson

Rating: B

Even without Jefferson, the Jazz did not let their rankings fall, Jefferson's mind was not on the Jazz, another All-Star recruited through the trade, Joe Johnson, is currently averaging 18.8 points per game, the Jazz are not losing, they are still impacting the playoffs.

Joe Johnson is desperate to prove himself with the Jazz, but despite his good performance, trading him is still talked about by Nets fans.

3. The Brooklyn Nets and the tall and strong

Rating: A+

If the rating is S-grade, the Nets' trade is destined to be a model of successful trade in NBA history.

Trading an All-Star player for a rookie, at the beginning, many experts and the media thought that the Russian tycoon Prokhorov was not crazy, but this shrewd Russian "giant" proved that he was not crazy.

After the trade, the Nets are on a 10-game winning streak, and that's in the absence of All-Stars Delon and Lopez, who have some of the league's most promising stars, and the future looks bright for the Nets.

And tall and strong in the Nets is also like a fish in water, in the Nets he not only occupies the main position, but also became the absolute core of the team, he has eleven consecutive 30+, two consecutive 50+, an average of 27 points per game, 42 rookie shots, etc. has broken a series of records, he is not only the All-Star vote king, but also into the top five on the scoring list and the top ten on the MVP list, who else can do better? No one can do it better. (To be continued......)
