The tall man unexpectedly beat LeBron James and Kevin Durant, the two biggest favorites, to claim the final MVP trophy of the All-Star Weekend.

Major media in the United States have fully affirmed Gao Dazhuang's "amazing" performance in this All-Star Weekend, and of course, the domestic media is also jubilant.

For the American media who came to interview, Gao Dazhuang said modestly, "It's all the credit of everyone, I'm just very lucky", but for the interview with the domestic media, Gao Dazhuang said playfully: "No one can stop me head-on."

After the fourth month of his NBA career, Tall and Strong gradually began to find his niche, he didn't need to deliberately imitate who to play, he only needed to do two things: faster and more ruthless.

"Whenever I play, my coach tells me to stay aggressive, because all opponents will be afraid of my speed," said Gao Dazhuang confidently in an interview with CCTV reporter Yang Yi, "In the All-Star Game, we have James, he will read the game and move the ball, and when I play, I will make the game speed up one stop, and then keep attacking the opponent, this is the way I like it."

Yang Yi also interviewed James, a tall and strong "good teammate", James said in an interview with CCTV: "Tall and strong looks incredible, when he maintains this kind of aggression on the court, we are difficult to be stopped, you know, he is really that kind of talented player."

"I think this All-Star Game experience meant a lot to him, and we could see that he gained confidence from it. and firm his way of playing," Yao Ming said in an interview with CCTV, so he commented on being tall and strong.

Like the domestic media, the New York media at this moment is also singing praises, because Tall and Strong represents New York, it is Brooklyn, and every miracle he created at the All-Star Game made New Yorkers proud.

After the game, the New York Times made a headline in the sports section: "Finish surpassing, today's No. 1 quarterback is tall and strong!" ”

The article was immediately hotly debated in the United States, but the author of the article, New York Times sports columnist Mette Moore, cites a series of data that support his conclusion:

He believes that the four best point guards in the NBA today are: Brooklyn Nets, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, James Harden of the Houston Rockets, and Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, and Tall is the best of them.

He thinks in the Union. There are a lot of defensive experts on the shooting guard. In that case, it's quite difficult to play a great game at this position, "Look at the guys who are going to be on the shooting guard: Andre Iguodala of the Nuggets, Tony Allen of the Grizzlies, you can say. Every team in the league can find a defensive guard who can contain opponents at shooting guard. So. When you see the Clippers' Jamal Crawford averaging 17 points and 2.6 assists per game off the bench, you should understand how hard it is."

"In the ranking of shooting guards, if you look bad from the beginning of the season. I can't find a reason not to put Kobe Bryant first, but looking at Kobe's recent performance, his efficiency has declined, but his passing is getting better and better, which makes the Lakers a better team, and it's a little regrettable that the Lakers' current record is still less than 50% of the winning rate."

In his article, Mette Moore points out that the Nets' tall and strong team has been very strong since moving to Brooklyn, so let's take a look at a set of stats:

Bryant: 28.6 points per 40 minutes, 21.8 shots per 40 minutes, 50.9% offensive efficiency, 56.8% true shooting percentage and 0.35 free throw/field ratio.

Wade: 24.3 points per 40 minutes, 18.2 shots per 40 minutes, 52.1 percent offensive efficiency, 56.9 percent true shooting percentage and 0.58 free throw/field ratio.

Harden: Scored 27 points per 40 minutes, shot 18.2 per 40 minutes, had an offensive efficiency of 49.3 percent, shot 59.1 percent from the field and a 0.4 free-throw-to-field ratio.

Tall and strong, on the other hand, scored 31.2 points per 40 minutes, shot 21.6 times per 40 minutes, had an offensive efficiency of 51.5 percent, shot 61.4 percent from the field, and had a free throw/shot ratio of 0.36.

"It is not difficult to see through the statistics that Tall and Strong not only scores the most points per 40 minutes, but also his true shooting percentage is also the highest, so, to put it simply, through the above data, we can know that Wade is a better game controller, Kobe Bryant is a better shooting point guard, Harden is a master of making free throws, and Tall and Strong is a more versatile scoring machine."

"Of course, the competition for the position of shooting guard, the four will continue to fight, and as the current situation stands, the tall and strong have surpassed Kobe, Harden and Wade, and he may get better and better."

Gao Dazhuang has been very busy in the past three days, not only participating in the "Big Five" of the Houston All-Star Weekend, but also participating in a number of charity activities with Yao Ming, and even joining the "carnival" team organized by James on the night of the All-Star Weekend.

The day after All-Star Weekend, the Houston Chronicle revealed a photo showing several NBA stars partying at a nightclub.

Fans spotted the people in the photo as none other than LeBron James and Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, and the tall and strong of the "new MVP" Brooklyn Nets.

Among them, James was wearing a pea-green shirt with diamond studs on his ears shining, Anthony was wearing a "trendy brand", Wade and Tall Strong were T-shirts and sneakers.

This photo is of fashion photographer Tony? Tran was filmed the night after the All-Star Game at the famous "PURE Nightclub" in Houston.

There was a huge celebration party that night, with nearly 100 people partying there. The reporter was surprised to find that a number of Eastern All-Star players came to the scene, in addition to the four in the photo, including Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, Kelly Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Paul George of the Indiana Pacers and other Eastern superstars and James Harden of the host Houston Rockets.

Obviously, the party was meant to celebrate the East Army's All-Star victory, and during the event, a slightly excited "Little Emperor" James showed off his championship ring from last year to photographers.

It is reported that James spent a total of $35,000 for this that night.

……

"Hey, you're in good spirits, it looks like you didn't do any more in-depth activities last night?" It was none other than Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King, who had a wicked smile on his face.

"You're thinking too much. We just went to the bar to celebrate the victory. But I said, Billy, how did you end up here? Gao Dazhuang asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's the boss's arrangement, it's all about making us stronger," Billy King said, pointing to Brooklyn Nets owner Prokhorov, who was sipping top red wine.

At this moment, Tall Strong, Billy King, and Prokhorov are on Prokhorov's Gulfstream G550 private jet. The destination, of course, is New York. But on this private jet there was a private party belonging to the Nets' "top brass".

"Before the trade deadline. We still have a lot of work to do, we need to make the team stronger, and that's gratifying. You've been creating miracles, and now you're a vital part of the team's plans, and now you're going to have a say in the operation of the team, and we're going to build a championship team around you," Prokhorov took a sip of the red wine in his hand, looked at the tall and strong and said slowly.

"Gao, I think you've seen it too, Brook Lopez isn't coming back with us, things have changed a bit, and it looks like there's a good chance he's leaving Brooklyn," General Manager Billy King suddenly interjected.

"You're here for Howard?" Tall Zhuang asked with a glance at Billy King.

"Yes, we want to get this strong center, but it's not good," says Billy King, who did not deny the purpose of the trip.

"But judging from the current situation, Howard and Kobe Bryant are not on good terms," said Gao Dazhuang, handing Billy King a newspaper, which was the New York Post issue today.

"It's no secret that Dwight Howard loves to joke, and it's perfectly entertaining to make a few jokes during an All-Star break, but this time his jokes might have gone big," the New York Post wrote in its headline.

The New York Post broke the news that in the locker room before the All-Star break, Howard wore Kobe Bryant's jersey when he didn't enter, and did his best in front of the stars to make fun of Kobe.

Howard entered the locker room of the All-Star Game before Kobe, and then he picked up Kobe's jersey and began to imitate Kobe.

After Kobe Bryant entered the locker room, the scene was a little embarrassing, it is said that Kobe Bryant greeted all the stars present after entering the locker room, but did not pay attention to Howard, when sorting out his equipment, Kobe Bryant tried to get as far away from Howard as possible, and there was no communication between the two at all.

According to current news, Kobe Bryant was very cold when talking about the possibility of the Lakers trading Howard, saying that it doesn't matter whether the team keeps him or trades him.

"The stars who were there at the time included Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant, and I asked them privately, Howard is indeed imitating Kobe Bryant in front of these people, and I think as the tidbits during this All-Star Game are exposed, the relationship between Kobe and Howard seems to have gone to an irreparable extreme," Gao Dazhuang also took a sip of red wine and said slowly.

"But I don't think Howard's soap opera will ever end, and I spoke on the phone with the owner of the Lakers, and the Lakers don't want to lose the league's No. 1 center right now," Prokhorov said.

"So we need to think differently, and when Plan A is blocked, we need to execute Plan B" Billy King took out a folder and pulled out a photo from it and handed it to Gao Dazhuang.

"Gortat?" The person in the photo is none other than Suns center Marsin Gortat.

"Yes, we need a stand-in to replace him, Gortat is a good candidate" Billy King pointed to the photo and said to the tall man: "He is 6 feet 11 inches, 29 years old, and he is honest and playable, but because of contract renewal and other issues, Gortat has been in constant friction with the Suns, he has the last year left on his contract with the Suns, worth about $7.73 million, the two sides cannot agree on the issue of contract extension, obviously Gortat is not in the Suns' rebuilding plan, and the Suns are actively seeking a trade recently, Gortat averaged 11.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 30.8 minutes per game in 61 appearances for the Suns last season, and he has averaged double-digit points per game over the past three years.

"We've got Anderson and Evans, and I'm not worried about that, but I'm more concerned about what we can get out of that if we trade that one?" Gao Dazhuang is clearly more concerned about another trade for the team.

"Of course, it's all the players you're interested in," Nets owner Prokhorov said with a smile to Gao Dazhuang.

"There are several trade options out there, and we need to choose one that maximizes our benefits," Nets general manager Billie King said as he pulled out a stack of papers.

"No, what we need is the best plan for the team," Gao Dazhuang immediately added. (To be continued......)
