The Brooklyn Nets won 94-83 at home against the visiting Atlanta Hawks to win four in a row, but the Nets' core player, Gao Dazhuang, suffered an unexpected sprain in the game and may be suspended, which also worried Brooklyn fans.

The current young Nets team has a great playoff prospect, and their tall and strong health will have a decisive impact on their fate.

"The injured part is still badly swollen and has been treated for a whole day," Gao Dazhuang revealed his injury through Twitter.

Later, Gao Dazhuang also posted a photo of his swollen ankle on Sina Weibo and received treatment, and it can be seen from the photo that after a day of treatment, Gao Dazhuang's ankle has not yet been swollen.

And ESPN columnist Ramona Hilburn also got information from within the Brooklyn Nets that because of a serious sprain, Tall and Strong may not appear in tomorrow's road game against the Dallas Mavericks, and he may even miss more games.

Subsequently, the official website of the Brooklyn Nets also said that the tall and strong will be absent, and the number of missed games cannot be determined.

But the Nets' next opponent, the Dallas Mavericks, doesn't believe it, especially Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who doesn't think the tall and strong will miss the game against the Mavericks.

Although the Nets have put Tall and Strong on the list of certain absences, the Dallas Mavericks still regard Tall and Strong as an imaginary opponent when preparing for the game.

"I know the Nets, and I know Tall and Strong," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told reporters, "Tall and Strong is the kind of player who is very competitive and if someone can recover from an injury like this." Then this person is him".

Tickets for the Mavericks' home court for this game have long been sold out, and it is clear that the tall and strong have become one of the most popular players in the league.

Dirk Nowitzki, a key player for the Mavericks, also told reporters that he would be disappointed if he couldn't play.

"I hope to have the opportunity to play against the tall," Dirk Nowitzki said after training: "It's always a joy to play against top players."

But if the tall and strong can't play, it doesn't mean that the Brooklyn Nets are uncompetitive.

"Their other key player, Deron Williams, has been training with the team for more than a week, and their roster of Kawhai Leonard and Kenneth Faried are among the best youngsters in the league," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told reporters.

However, when Mark Cuban said these words, many fans felt that the owner of this personality was just adding a gimmick to this Mavericks vs Nets game.

On the day of the race, it all had an answer, just to be on the safe side. The Brooklyn Nets ultimately chose to rest the tall and strong. The tall and strong didn't even travel to Dallas with the team.

Of course, the absence of the tall and strong will make the fans at the scene regret, but the wonderful performances of other players on the pitch on both sides more or less made up for the loss of fans.

Two weeks ago, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Dallas Mavericks 112-103 at home, and the Nets made 15 three-pointers that day.

But in today's game. The Dallas Mavericks, playing at home, were the first to get into the groove. Especially their number one star, Dirk Nowitzki. is a person who shot inside and outside, scoring 15 points in a single quarter.

In the first quarter, the Dallas Mavericks won 25-15. Get a double-digit advantage.

But after that, the Dallas Mavericks continued to be counterattacked by the Brooklyn Nets, and after the start of the second quarter, the Nets' bench Kyle Korver hit two three-pointers in a row, and then Lance Stephenson also made a sneak basket.

The Nets' bench players started the second quarter with a 14-4 run to tie the score in four minutes.

The two teams then alternated their leads, and at halftime, the two sides were tied at 42-46, and the lead was still the Dallas Mavericks playing at home.

However, with 5:07 left in the third quarter, the Brooklyn Nets fielded Deron Williams, the core point guard who had been out of action for a long time.

Deron Williams had just come on the court when he made a defensive foul on opposing guard OJ Mayo and made both free throws.

Next, the young Brooklyn Nets, led by Deron Williams, battled with the Dallas Mavericks, and the two teams alternated leads several times in the fourth quarter.

It wasn't until 48.5 seconds left that Dirk Nowitzki hit a three-point shot on the counterattack, and the Mavericks took the lead at 87-83.

The Nets pulled off a brilliant burst after calling a timeout, but Deron Williams' three-pointer hit the rim of the rim and bounced.

The Nets were forced to commit a tactical foul, and Dallas Mavericks center Chris Carman hit one of two free throws to keep the Mavericks ahead at a five-point margin with 35 seconds left in the game.

The Nets called a timeout again, and after this timeout, the Nets continued to use three-point shooting tactics, but this time Deron Williams seized the opportunity to get rid of the defense with the help of his teammates to cover and hit a jumper at the top of the three-point arc.

86：88

With 26 seconds left before the end of the game, the Dallas Mavericks then made a mismatch and Kawhi Leonard made a crucial steal.

The Brooklyn Nets still had a chance, and their final shot was still handed to Deron Williams, who had just returned from injury.

"Dang", but under the opponent's tight defense, Deron Williams missed the most crucial shot of the game, and finally the Brooklyn Nets lost to the Dallas Mavericks by 2 points.

The Dallas Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki scored a game-high 30 points, Vince Carter had 16 points and seven rebounds, Chris Carman had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Sean Marion, who came off the bench, had 11 points, five rebounds and three assists.

The Nets' top scorer, Kawhi Leonard, had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Kenneth Faried contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds, and bench players Kyle Korver and Lance Stephenson contributed 11 points and 10 points and 5 rebounds, respectively.

The Nets lost the game though. But to the relief of fans, their core point guard Deron Williams, who has been absent for a long time, returned in this game and showed good competitive form, playing 18 minutes, shooting 3 of 5 and 2 free throws, and put up a good record of 9 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds.

And throughout the game, the young Brooklyn Nets played a high-quality defensive level, suppressing the Mavericks, who rank among the league's top offensive power, to score within 90 points, but the absence of the team's top scorer made the Nets seem to lack firepower. And unfortunately lost the game.

……

Just when the Brooklyn Nets were battling bloody battles on the road to Dallas. Their core player, tall and strong, was also nervously watching live TV from his upscale apartment in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Although he didn't follow his teammates to Dallas, Tall Strongheart stayed with his teammates, and just as Deron Williams made his final three-point shot, Tall felt like his heart was going to jump to his throat.

In the end, the Nets' defeat made the tall and strong in Brooklyn depressed. To do this, he ruthlessly wiped out a bag of potato chips.

"Ding Dong" is still in the tall and strong. When you're ready to eat something more. The doorbell rang unexpectedly.

"Huh?" When Gao Dazhuang saw through the cat's eyes that his beautiful neighbor Evelyn Marseille was standing outside the door, Gao Dazhuang looked puzzled, but he still opened the door with a smile.

"Hi. Would you like to have some? Evelyn Marseille said with a bottle of red wine in one hand and a porcelain plate with steak and ham in the other, smiling knowingly at the tall man.

And without waiting for the tall and strong to respond, Evelyn Marseille entered the tall and strong room with a flash of dexterity, and said to herself: "I saw that there was a light in your house and came over, I don't think you have eaten yet, right?" Oh, you have a better view here than I have, that is? Manhattan Bridge! The decoration of your home is also very distinctive."

"You're not going to come all the way to bring me food, are you?" The tall and strong carefully looked at his female neighbor, who was obviously the bank executive who had just gotten off work, and who hadn't even had time to change out of her professional suit.

But it was this suit that perfectly supported her delicate figure, and in the dim light, it gave Tall and Strong a strong visual impact, but at this time, a stream of heat suddenly surged in his body, so Gao Dazhuang turned on the headlights without thinking.

The room suddenly became bright, but this alarmed Evelyn Marseille, who said eagerly, "Will you turn off the lights?" ”

Gao Dazhuang explained with a little weakness: "I'm not afraid that you can't see clearly", and turned off the light again, and suddenly the room fell into a strange atmosphere again.

"I heard you're hurt, and as a New Yorker, I have an obligation to care about our city heroes," Evelyn Marseille's light-hearted words broke the awkward atmosphere.

"That's all?" Tall and strong stared at Evelyn with a smile.

"That's it," Evelyn Marseille smiled, and after a brief quiet glance with the tall man, "I'm leaving", Evelyn chose to turn around and walk out the door.

"Why don't we have a drink together?" Gao Dazhuang stretched out a hand to stop her, and pointed to the bottle of Lafite she had brought with him.

"Okay" To the surprise of Gao Dazhuang, almost at the same time as Gao Dazhuang spoke, Evelyn had already given the answer, it seemed that she had premeditated.

Gao Dazhuang poured half a glass of red wine for her and herself, and then slowly walked to Evelyn's side and leaned over to look at her, while Evelyn looked at Gao Dazhuang with a half-tilted back, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Tall and strong immediately drank the red wine in his hand with some embarrassment, but at this time, Evelyn approached him little by little.

At this moment, Gao Dazhuang suddenly turned his head away, and at the same time pretended to be calm and said, "Today's moonlight is good."

"Really? Is there a moon in the sky? Evelyn half-leaned beside the tall man and looked at the sky deliberately, where there was only a dense layer of clouds, pitch black, and Manhattan was brightly lit.

"Are you Orientals so daring?" Evelyn said with a deliberate "dissatisfaction".

"Ahh

"You're nervous?" Evelyn snickered.

"Sort of"

"Don't be afraid"
