With 5:07 left in the third quarter of the Houston Rockets' home game against the Brooklyn Nets, James Harden took advantage of a teammate's pick-and-roll at the top of the three-point arc, and then accelerated down the center with a right-handed hand.

Lance Stephenson and Kyle Korver, who were in the high post of the Brooklyn Nets, closed late, and James Harden cut inside in an instant.

With a "brush", James Harden, who cut into the inside, scored 2 points with a pick-up with his left hand.

It was James Harden's first athletic goal in the first five minutes of the second half, but Harden, who finally scored a goal, did not have the slightest joy, on the contrary, he felt a trace of "fear".

Yes, it's "fear", and what brings him "fear" is the tall and strong man wearing the No. 1 jersey of the Brooklyn Nets.

Because from the beginning of the second half, the tall and strong suddenly increased his aggression without warning, and his consecutive breakthroughs scored under the basket, and soon chased the difference between the two sides.

And James Harden found that Tall and Strong seemed to have "stolen" his own skills, not only did the "European Step" perform extremely similarly, but also Tall Strong's several left-hand finishing moves made Harden stunned.

As a former teammate, James Harden certainly knows the strengths of Tall and Strong, and also understands the weakness of his left hand, and he said at the time that if Tall and Strong developed left-handed offensive skills, he would be terrible at that time.

Today James Harden finally got a glimpse of the tall and strong "left-handed" skill, but unfortunately. Today, James Harden is on the "opposite" of tall and strong.

"Defend, pay attention to his breakthrough, don't let him cut in easily!" James Harden yelled loudly to remind his teammates.

"Brush", although James Harden is trying his best to remind, but less than 10 seconds before his layup hits, the Brooklyn Nets launched a "blitzkrieg" attack, the ball received the hand of Gao Dazhuang, Gao Dazhuang dodged Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin's interception in a row in a quick counterattack, and successfully hit the basket for a layup, and this time the offense was with his left hand!

At this time, the Houston Rockets, who were playing at home, asked for a timeout. Apparently, the tall and strong "ferocious" fire managed to stop the opponent.

However, a brief pause did not stop Gao Dazhuang from breaking out today.

After the suspension ends. Tall and strong at the free throw line, and although Chandler Parsons stuck to him, he still relied on teammate Gerard Wallace's off-ball cover to get out of the defense.

Like Stephen Curry, the core of the Warriors, the tall and strong shot also takes only 0.4 seconds. Jump. Sell. Coherent.

By the time Chandler Parsons of the Rockets returned to the tall man, the tall man had already completed his shot at the moment, and he "brushed". Tall and strong received the ball and quickly shot and hit a three-point shot.

A minute later, the tall man used the "European Step" to force a basket and caused a defensive foul on Rockets center Omo Asik.

Just after Gao Dazhuang hit two accurate free throws again, the score on the court became 71:70, and at the end of the third quarter, the Brooklyn Nets successfully overtook the score under the leadership of Gao Dazhuang.

However, the tall and strong performance was not over, he rushed to the basket again and again to cause foul free throws, and also used accurate three-pointers to hit the Houston Rockets.

This is also where Tall and Strong is "stronger" than James Harden, and the Tall and Strong offensive means that absorb the skills of multiple stars are more diverse, from under the basket to outside the three-point line, any area is within his firepower coverage.

The tall and strong "Curry-style" three-point skills are far from being comparable to James Harden's three-point skills, and the shooting skills have helped the tall and strong get a higher shooting rate than James Harden, and the tall and strong at the moment is very similar to the enhanced version of "James Harden".

"Shhhhh

I don't know if the Houston Rockets fans are dissatisfied with the team's management for letting go of Gao Da Zhuang, or they are dissatisfied with Gao Da Zhuang's lack of "affection" and "sniping" the Houston Rockets in key games.

In short, the applause and cheers given by the fans at the scene have changed from applause and cheers at the beginning to boos now.

Sensing the changes in the arena, Brooklyn Nets head coach Johnson came to the sidelines, cast an inquiring glance at the tall man, and vaguely had a "protective" substitution.

However, Gao Dazhuang waved his hand decisively and refused the coach's kindness, he is a professional player, and going all out on the court is the basic principle of professional players, so of course Gao Dazhuang will not be bound by "feelings".

With 9 minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter, Gao Da Zhuang landed at the right free throw line, went around the three-point line, and used the cover set by Kyle Korver to run to the left free throw line to catch the ball and shoot a jumper, hitting the board and hitting the next shot.

A minute later, the tall man held the ball from outside the three-point line and faced the Chandler Parsons defense, and without warning, he suddenly rose to the ground and hit a three-point shot......

With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, the Houston Rockets asked for a timeout again, which was the second time in a row that they were "beaten" by the tall and strong.

After the timeout, the Houston Rockets began to adopt a trap tactic against the tall and strong, with Chandler Parsons, James Harden, and Jeremy Lin taking turns to wrap the tall and strong.

But Tall and Strong is not a single "offensive machine", in fact, in addition to James Harden, who has copied his skills today, Kelly Irving, Damion Lillard and Stephen Curry, who have previously copied his skills, are all point guards, and it is natural that Tall and Strong also have their passing skills.

In the last 15 seconds of the third quarter, Gao Dazhuang was caught by the Rockets' Jeremy Lin and Chandler Parsons in the high post, and Gao Dazhuang, who firmly controlled the ball, saw his teammate Lance Stephenson cut to the basket.

With a "snap", the tall and powerful pass passed through Lin's crotch and into the hands of Lance Stephenson through the three.

With a "bang", Lance Stephenson didn't live up to the tall and strong pass. He ended the offense with an exaggerated, powerful dunk.

83：79

At the end of the third quarter, the Brooklyn Nets, who were playing away, overtook their opponents and temporarily led the Houston Rockets by 4 points.

And in the first half, the tall and strong who was overshadowed by James Harden's brilliance showed his superior strength in the third quarter, and in the third quarter of the game, he scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 7-of-9 shooting in a single quarter.

He scored 20 points on 9 shots, covered the range from outside the three-point line to the basket, and was able to shoot and pass and make free throws, and his tall and strong light was unstoppable.

Despite his "amazing" performance of 28 points in the first half, James Harden has scored 38 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists so far.

But the tall and strong performance of 20 points in a single quarter. Let him chase his stats to 34 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

The strong performance of the tall and strong put James Harden under intense pressure. At the same time, it also put a lot of pressure on the Houston fans at the scene, although they admired the tall and strong, they did not want to see their home team being "slaughtered" at home, especially if this person was the one who "gave up" on his own initiative.

But as "Murphy's Law" says. If you're worried about something happening. Then it's more likely to happen.

That's exactly what happened in today's game. Houston Rockets fans were very worried about the team's "death" at the hands of Gao Da Zhuang, but when the game reached the final fourth quarter showdown, fans found that Gao Da Zhuang's hot "gun" still showed no signs of stopping shooting.

"Peng" sounded. Gao Dazhuang and Lance Stephenson made a pick-and-roll combination, and the Houston Rockets immediately adopted a substitution strategy.

At this time, it was Jeremy Lin, the Chinese point guard of the Houston Rockets, who was responsible for marking the tall and strong, and in the face of Jeremy Lin's defense, the tall and strong played very resolutely.

He attacked from the top of the three-point arc head-on, and the continuous cross-step and false swaying deceived Jeremy Lin into constantly retreating, and the tall and strong seized the moment when Jeremy Lin's center of gravity was unstable, suddenly accelerated, and a change of direction penetrated Jeremy Lin's defense.

With a "clang", the tall and strong man who tore through the opponent's defense scored 2 points with a light dunk.

36 points!

In the next offensive round, Gao Dazhuang still used the situation of blocking and dismantling to change defenses and beat Jeremy Lin again, but this time Gao Dazhuang took the method of back-to-back singles.

Obviously, Jeremy Lin does not have an advantage in height, strength, and speed, and was easily scored 2 points by a step-back jumper by Tall Strong.

38 points!

The strong sense of being tall and strong is not only reflected in the offensive aspect, but also in the defensive aspect under the "edification" of a group of excellent teammates, and the tall and strong are also improving little by little.

The Houston Rockets attacked, James Harden and Jeremy Lin made a deft switch, Harden passed the ball out in time, and Jeremy Lin cut to the basket and made a layup.

But at this moment, with a "snap", the tall and strong suddenly flashed out from its side, slapped it heavily, and directly fanned Jeremy Lin's layup.

Brooklyn Nets' Gerard Wallace grabbed the basketball that bounced off the rebound, and the tall and strong were already sprinting at full speed into the Houston Rockets' hinterland.

Gerard Wallace's pass ran through almost the entire court, and all that was left was a blistering performance of the Rockets' tall man in the box.

In the face of the empty basket, the tall and strong received the ball, took off, dunked, and did it in one go.

40 points!

Just four minutes into the fourth quarter, Gao Dazhuang had already scored his 40th point of the game, and he not only surpassed James Harden in the same game, but also surpassed Kevin Durant in the "other battlefield".

Perhaps it was annoyed and angry by Gao Dazhuang's consecutive singles and blocks, but Jeremy Lin actually played one-on-one with the home team's Gao Dazhuang at 4 minutes and 25 seconds.

Tall and strong held the ball outside the three-point line, and unexpectedly found that Jeremy Lin took the initiative to find him, so Gao Dazhuang decisively released the ball, under the crotch, in front of the body, and continued to crossover, so that Jeremy Lin did not dare to be close.

At this moment, Houston Rockets fans at the scene realized that the gap between the two "Chinese" players was bigger than they imagined.

The tall and strong who had an all-round advantage in body, strength, and speed did not choose to violently beat Jeremy Lin, but feinted to step on the three-point line in a small step, and suddenly retreated and leaned back to directly pull out a three-point shot.

At this time, in the eyes of Gao Dazhuang, Jeremy Lin, who moved a little slowly and let go of a position in order to prevent breakthroughs, was no longer a defensive player, but a prop used to adjust the point of the shot.

With a "brush", Gao Dazhuang hit a three-point shot, and Gao Dazhuang seemed to prove that he was technically capable of blowing up his opponent.

43 points!

The Houston Rockets were certainly not resting on their laurels in the face of a strong performance from their "former" opponents, and they then launched a tidal wave of attacks to try to recover the difference.

But every time they score a goal, Gao Da Zhuang will quickly return the goal, and if they can't defend Gao Da Zhuang, they can't narrow the score.

And in the fourth quarter of the game, the players of the Brooklyn Nets, who did not put much energy into the offensive end, began to strengthen the defensive intensity on the court, which also made the Houston Rockets' shooting percentage drop sharply.

As a result, the Houston Rockets gradually fell into a vicious circle, not only could they not limit the play of their tall and strong, but their offense also lost their rhythm.

At 7 minutes and 11 seconds into the fourth quarter, the score on the court became 105:95 as Gao Dazhuang broke through the defense again and scored a layup, and the difference between the two sides unknowingly widened to double digits.

45 points!

At this moment, the boos for Gao Dazhuang in the Toyota Center Arena in Houston began to become smaller, and the applause returned to the arena, and it was Gao Dazhuang who used his excellent performance to make the fans change.

In the remaining time of the game, fans can find that Gao Dazhuang began to deliberately control his firepower and did not deliberately exert force, but as long as the Houston Rockets tried to counterattack, they would immediately encounter a strong counterattack from Gao Dazhuang.

At this point, when Tall Man asks you to hand in a foul, no one in the league can hold the free-throw line.

Due to the gradual opening of the score, Gao Dazhuang has played very "scattered", but Gao Dazhuang still "inadvertently" got 6 free throw opportunities.

After hitting all six free throws, Gao Da Zhuang also scored 51 points in this game, which was the fourth time that Gao Da Zhuang scored more than 50+ points this season, and it was also the second highest score in his career after scoring 56 points against the Milwaukee Bucks.

In the last minute and a half, the game had completely entered garbage time, and Gao Dazhuang was replaced by Coach Johnson, and received a warm applause and a few "MVP" shouts.

In the end, the Brooklyn Nets, who were playing away, defeated the Houston Rockets 117-110 at home. (To be continued......)
