At 7:30 p.m., the Barclays Center was brightly lit, and the Nets mascot "Brooklyn Cavaliers" waved the long sword in their hands to mobilize the passion of the fans, and as the two flamethrowers next to the basketball hoop spewed out tumbling flames, the DJ was screaming and shouting: "Below is our guardian knight, the pride of Brooklyn - tall and strong"

"Oh" With the tall and strong appearance, and now the screams of the fans are at their peak, this is the scene of the Nets hosting the Jazz, and the atmosphere at the Barclays Center is already close to the boiling point before the game.

"GOGOGO" The Nets teammates who were already waiting in the middle circle of the court immediately surrounded Gao Dazhuang and encouraged each other, which seemed to show that Gao Dazhuang's core position in the Nets at this moment was unmistakable.

Today is the first time that Gao Dazhuang feels "home" in the NBA arena on the other side of the ocean, because there are too many "acquaintances" in the Barclays Center today.

Before the game, Gao Dazhuang, who had just gotten off the bus, pulled Yang Yi, a famous basketball commentator on CCTV, aside to make a brief exclusive interview, and along the way, countless fans, staff, and cheerleaders greeted Gao Dazhuang very warmly.

No, the tall man took off his coat and was about to play, when he heard someone in the stands chanting his name.

When Gao Dazhuang heard this, he looked back and found that it was Mr. Zule, the Nets' season ticket owner, who was still cheering on the Nets with his family.

"Thank you and your family" Seeing the enthusiastic Mr. Zuller, the tall and strong smiled and stretched out his hand to Zuller, who was sitting in the back VIP seat.

"The last photo I took with you was hung in the most prominent place in our living room, and now our whole family is your fans," Zuler said, holding his tall hand tightly. That's when Mr. Zuller and his two sons were wearing his Nets No. 1 jersey.

At this time, the whistle suddenly sounded, and the referee stood in the center of the field and signaled the players to enter. But at this time, the tall and strong walked straight to the rest area of the Utah Jazz.

"Hey, buddy. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss it very much" because there is a tall and strong brother in the Utah Jazz rest area - Delfino, in the two-month Rockets career of Tall and Strong, this middle-aged man in his 30s gave Tall and Strong too much help, and in the last big trade involving three teams, Delfino was sent to the Utah Jazz.

"Gao, I miss you too, and I'm so proud of you," Delfino said with great relief. Then I had a warm hug with the tall and strong.

At this time, Gao Dazhuang suddenly saw Joe Johnson, who was wearing the Jazz No. 7 uniform, standing next to him, considering that he came to the Nets to take over Joe Johnson's position, so Gao Dazhuang still stepped forward to say hello very friendly.

"Hey, Joe" Gao Dazhuang smiled and stretched out his right hand, but Joe Johnson just glanced at Gao Dazhuang coldly, did not speak, did not stretch out his hand, as if he did not see Gao Dazhuang, and slowly walked past Gao Dazhuang's eyes. Only the tall and strong person was left stunned there with some embarrassment.

And this footage was also captured by the reporter in charge of the live broadcast, and when the fans saw this scene, almost all the Nets fans let out a burst of boos.

"Heh" Gao Dazhuang also laughed a little self-deprecatingly, but Gao Dazhuang could still understand Johnson's mood.

Joe Johnson was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 10th pick in the first round in 2001, but he wasn't favored by the team that picked him, just as tall and strong was with the Rockets. So in February of the following year, he was traded to the Phoenix Suns.

At the Suns, Johnson, who overcame a mental barrier, grew into the team's main scoring guard. He is known for his consistent three-point shooting and excellent dribbling skills.

However, the team did not use him as a cornerstone, so in 2005 they sought more room for development. Johnson moved to the Atlanta Hawks.

With the Hawks, Johnson finally became the leader of the team, was named to the NBA All-Star Game for the first time in 2007, and led the Hawks back to the NBA playoffs, where he has since made five All-Star players.

However, in the 2009-10 season, although the Hawks achieved an impressive regular season record of 53-29 under the leadership of Johnson, the Hawks were swept by the Orlando Magic led by Howard in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

This season, Joe Johnson averaged 21.3 points per game in the regular season, but his performance in the playoffs was very poor, which made him question a lot, and he also had a bad relationship with the local media and fans in Atlanta.

He was hell-bent on leaving Atlanta for a team that really needed him, and on April 11, 2012, Joe Johnson was finally traded to the Nets, a new team that gave him renewed hope for his future.

However, the reality is cruel, the NBA is a business field, he only played a few games for the Nets, and was given up by the team, as a player with the highest salary and 5 consecutive All-Stars, the team actually exchanged him for a "rookie" who had just entered the NBA for less than two months.

This made Joe Johnson furious, so he urgently needed to prove that the Nets had made a serious mistake, and he urgently needed to prove that his strength was definitely above that "rookie".

But after a few games, Joe Johnson was disappointed, Gao Dazhuang won the Rookie of the Month in the first month, and then swept the league with 50 points in two consecutive games, and Gao Dazhuang became the representative of the new generation of players in the league and the most watched player in the entire league.

Almost all the media, pundits, and fans think that the Nets made a smart trade, which means that Johnson is simply too good to buy tall, and all this makes Johnson feel humiliated.

Nets fans have long forgotten about Joe Johnson as they chase their new idol, no, maybe not yet, and there is a huge banner in the middle of the stands that reads: "Thank you Joe, thank you for bringing us tall and strong"

Disgrace! Johnson was now filled with anger in his heart, and now he just wanted to shred the tall and strong instead of shaking his hand.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The Nets are still the same players on the court: center Evans, power forward Humphries, small forward Wallace, shooting guard Tall Strong, and point guard Deron Williams.

The Jazz's starters were: center Inis Kanter, power forward Paul Millsap, small forward Marvin Williams, shooting guard Joe Johnson, and point guard Mo Williams.

Although Joe Johnson was full of anger. But he does have a team player, especially when his shots are well-timed. Don't shoot lightly if you don't have the chance.

As a result, he gave up a couple of difficult attacks after the start of the game. turned to assist teammates to score easily, which also made Gao Dazhuang a little admired.

The focus of the first quarter belonged to the Jazz's Millsap, who deservedly became the Jazz's first choice on the inside after Jefferson was traded.

Millsap's offensive ability was excellent, grabbing offensive rebounds at the beginning of the game, then forcing a rebound to score under the basket, and he also hit multiple half-volley jumpers, and the Jazz maintained the lead.

In the final moments of the first quarter, Joe Johnson received a ball from Millsap on the inside and completed a three-pointer that pressed the whistle.

"Brushing" when the basketball passes through the net with precision. Johnson, who has always been bad at words, actually yelled at the fans in the stands, venting his emotions.

25：19

At the end of the first quarter, the Jazz took a six-point lead.

The second quarter had just begun, and the ball was passed to Johnson again.

Johnson, who was holding the ball, stared at the tall and strong in front of him, and then began to dribble, "pop", "pop", "pop", Johnson began to dribble and slowly approached the tall and strong.

Suddenly, Johnson accelerated, but just as the tall and strong stepped back to block, Johnson made a sudden stop and changed direction. Break through against the tall and strong flanks.

But the tall and strong chased after him by half a body, and Johnson, who was in the basket, faced the front defense of Nets center Evans and the tall and strong back chaser, Johnson threw a shot with a side height to complete the offense.

"Brush". Johnson threw the ball around Evans and the tall block, hit the rebound and bounced into the net.

Just at the start of the second quarter, Johnson scored with a strong throw.

Johnson, who was successful at this time, did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional when he waved his fist and withdrew to his own half. It happened to collide with the tall and strong man who was coming and ready to serve on the baseline.

The tall man was knocked back several steps by the sudden impact, and Johnson made an out-of-the-ordinary move. I saw him stretch out his hands and push the tall man away, and then ran back to his own half with a blank face.

You can see it. Playing at the Barclays Center made Johnson angry, but Johnson's move made Gao Dazhuang also very angry.

"Hey" just arrived at the Nets half, Gao Dazhuang took the initiative to ask DeLong for the ball for the first time in this game, and soon the ball passed to Gao Dazhuang's hands.

"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", ...... Tall and strong began to slowly approach Johnson with his fingers on ultra-low dribbles, and the center of gravity of the tall and strong dribble became lower and lower, and his eyes were always staring at Johnson, but his ball speed was getting faster and faster, with a little weird rhythm.

Suddenly, the tall and strong start, and the moment he got close to Johnson, he accelerated again, so there was almost no feint, and the tall and strong left Johnson behind him in one step with his excellent explosiveness and speed.

Breaking away from the defense and stepping into the restricted area, Gao Dazhuang chose to go straight to the basket, facing the blocking of Jazz center Innis Kanter, Gao Dazhuang made a deft sideways turn in the air, and switched his right hand to a one-handed basket with his left hand.

With a "brush", the ball hollowed into the net.

After the goal, the tall and strong watched Johnson slowly retreat into the half with the attitude of a victor.

"FUCK" Johnson's anger finally exploded, and he received a pass from his teammate and kept possessing the ball and advancing to the front court.

Johnson, who controlled the ball, launched an attack at the top of the three-point arc, facing the tall and strong defense, Johnson kept crossing steps to test the tall and strong, but after three tests, Johnson suddenly sank his shoulders and made a sharp step back jumper.

With a "brush", Johnson hit a difficult step-back jumper near the free throw line, and Johnson did not forget to stare at Gao Dazhuang viciously after the goal.

But a minute later, Delon, who had dribbled to the frontcourt, passed the ball to the flank to ask for the ball.

Gao Dazhuang controlled the ball to the top of the three-point arc and began to attack, but Gao Dazhuang's ball control was obviously better than Johnson's, and Gao Dazhuang's series of realistic feints made Johnson have to keep retreating.

With a "brush", Gao Dazhuang returned Johnson's goal in almost the same position, and Gao Dazhuang's goal seemed to be more relaxed.

The tall and strong goal also immediately won a round of applause from the fans at the scene.

The offense and defense of the two sides were swapped, and the Jazz attacked.

This time, Johnson took advantage of a teammate's moving cover and managed to get rid of the tall and strong heel guard and run outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the wing.

At this time, the Jazz controlled the ball and Williams passed the ball to Johnson in time, and Johnson did not hesitate to make a decisive shot after receiving the ball.

With a "brush", Johnson proved his three-point prowess, and his shot hit the center of the net accurately.

After the goal, Johnson raised his arms and stretched out three fingers, and turned around to show it to the Nets fans in the audience, and Johnson's provocative move was immediately booed by many Nets fans.

"Fast serve" Gao Dazhuang reminded his teammates, and then Gao Dazhuang controlled the ball and advanced, and as soon as he entered the Jazz half, Johnson clung to it.

Tall and strong dribbled slowly with his back, and when he dribbled to near the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, he turned around and faced Johnson head-on.

At this time, Johnson's mind was highly concentrated, and his body was constantly probing and trying to break the tall ball with his hands.

At this moment, Gao Dazhuang suddenly looked up at Johnson, and without any warning, Gao Dazhuang directly pulled out his hand!

Tall and strong, the jump and shot are quite fast, like Curry's three-point shooting, the tall and strong will just leave the ground on tiptoe, and the body is still rising, the shot has already been completed.

By the time Johnson reacted, the ball was already flying in mid-air, and Johnson could only watch the ball fly to the basket.

With a "brush", the basketball made a crisp sound through the net.

After the goal, the tall man slowly raised his arm and stretched out three fingers in the same way.

At this time, the audience at the scene also saw this sign, Gao Dazhuang has been imitating Johnson's offensive style, and even the offensive position is almost the same.

Three times in a row! Gao Dazhuang repeated Johnson's actions with the same offensive style, and Gao Dazhuang hit three balls in a row to hit Johnson fiercely.

"Wow" The nearly 20,000 Nets fans in the entire Barclays Center were completely boiling, almost all of them stood up and screamed loudly, and the live DJ shouted incredible.

The tall and strong imitation and the screams of the fans deeply stimulated Johnson, and Johnson's clenched fists represented that he was very angry now, very angry! (To be continued......)
