"Tall, come on" Gao Dazhuang just stepped into the training arena of Barclays Center, the home of the Nets, and was immediately greeted by enthusiastic team staff.

"Work together" Whenever he hears the words of cheering, Gao Dazhuang will immediately respond with a smile,

Not only did the Brooklyn Nets players relax as they prepared for the playoffs, but they also gave the team's staff a good mindset to not only marvel at the team's performance this season, but also look forward to the team's performance in the playoffs, which was undoubtedly the last season for the Brooklyn Nets in recent years.

"Hey, Boss, you're the latest today" When Gao Dazhuang appeared on the training ground, the rest of the team's teammates were already warming up, in fact, the training time had not yet started, but the training court was already in full swing, all of which showed that the morale of the players of the Brooklyn Nets was high.

At this time, Lance-Stephenson, who found the tall and strong, greeted him loudly, but soon he was a little surprised, because he found a few strange friends behind the tall and strong.

"Oh, my friends back home," Gao Dazhuang explained with a smile after glancing back at a few people behind him.

Appearing on the training ground with Gao Dazhuang were the special guests of CCTV Sports Channel, the director of the basketball department of Sports Weekly, the Sina NBA basketball commentary consultant, Yang Yi, a tall and old friend, and Zhou Lingan, a popular female anchor of Sina NBA, and two other photographers.

"Is this preparing for a documentary? Wow, come on, come on. Shoot here" Lance Stephenson said excitedly, in fact, he guessed correctly, this is the program planned by Sina.com to record the live broadcast of the first playoffs of Tall Zhuang.

Yang Yi and Zhou Lingan will follow Gao Dazhuang throughout the playoffs this season, and release some real-time game information and interesting things to the majority of fans who support Gao Dazhuang through Sina.com at any time, so that fans and idols can compete in the playoffs together.

After careful consideration, Gao Dazhuang finally agreed to Sina.com's cooperation proposal, of course, the main reason is that Gao Dazhuang is also very willing to interact with domestic fans who support him.

"Okay, okay, come, it seems that you have good energy today, let's pick one up" The tall man took off his coat casually. He waved at Lance-Stephenson. However, when he stepped into the court, he turned to Yang Yi and said: "Now is the critical moment to prepare for the game, don't shoot the situation in the training ground, and you may affect their training, wait for me outside."

Whether it's for reasons of secrecy or to ensure the effectiveness of training. Gao Dazhuang's decision was still understood and supported by Yang Yi and others.

"Tall and strong. Come on. You're making history with every step you take," the sweet-looking Zhou Ling'an clenched her fists and shouted at Gao Da Da Da, and then she boldly greeted the other Brooklyn Nets players in English, causing laughter in the training hall.

……

Today's training starts at 11 a.m. It was originally planned to open to the media at 1 p.m., but it wasn't until just after 2 p.m. that Brooklyn Nets staff opened the doors to the practice arena.

As it was preparing for the playoffs, almost all the New York media came to the training gym to interview today, and dozens of people packed the media waiting room.

When they arrived at the training ground, it was also overcrowded, and many TV reporters had to stay by the wall in order to seize the advantageous terrain, and did not dare to leave.

The Brooklyn Nets practiced for more than three hours today, which was a marathon, and all 15 players on the team practiced on the court, with star players such as Tall and Strong and Deron Williams practicing extremely seriously.

At the end of the practice, Brooklyn Nets coach Johnson came to a corner of the court to personally instruct the tall and strong defense, he compared and stroked, and taught some tips when defending.

Later, Johnson called Lance Stephenson, who was about to leave, and asked him to be a tall and strong "reference" after the opportunity, although Lance Stephenson is not the main force of the team, his offensive ability is still very top-notch in the whole team, and the two soon carried out "offensive and defensive" training under the guidance of Coach Johnson.

Not only that, Coach Johnson also opened the time in the media, and also guided the training of players such as Kawhai Leonard and Kenneth Faried.

In the end, Coach Johnson himself was sweating profusely, and he usually trained loosely, but when it came to the playoffs, he started to get serious.

"We haven't trained for a while, today the training was very good, it was completely active, yesterday we watched the video, tomorrow we have to prepare," said coach Johnson in an interview with reporters.

Coach Johnson believes that the regular season is over and that the playoffs need to be fully prepared: "For both sides, it's 0-0, we have to remember what worked before, see what doesn't work, the playoffs are completely different games and everybody has to make adjustments. ”

However, in an ESPN report earlier today, the Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo said in an interview with local Boston media: "Eliminate the Brooklyn Nets in 6 games!" ”

Reporters immediately passed Rajon Rondo's words to the Brooklyn Nets, to which most of the Nets players expressed disdain.

When asked what he thought of Rajon Rondo's comments, Brooklyn Nets coach Johnson shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a fact that no one can avoid the fact that the game is decided on the court."

He didn't even mention Rajon Rondo's words in front of the team.

"Because that's not worth mentioning at all," Coach Johnson said.

In fact, earlier this season, Rajon Rondo said he would love to meet the Brooklyn Nets in the playoffs because he felt the Boston Celtics didn't suffer in every other match, except for the tall No. 2 spot.

Gao Dazhuang also commented on this: "No matter where their self-confidence and motivation come from, these are their things. We only focus on what we are supposed to do. ”

Gao Dazhuang said in the interview that while he understands Rajon Rondo's thoughts, he doesn't think the Brooklyn Nets will use it as motivation.

"We already have enough motivation," Gao Dazhuang said to reporters who came to interview, "We have our own goals, we are looking forward to going further, they are just our first opponents"

Brooklyn Nets interior stalwart Kenneth "Half-Orc" Faried admitted that he was not surprised by Rajon Rondo's words: "There are always a lot of people who are looking forward to playing us in the playoffs, and they are one of them, because they think we are young, but since they have made their purpose clear, great, let's let it go."

Veteran Gerard Wallace burst out laughing when he heard Rajon Rondo's remarks: "Times are really different now, and it seems that I am still more traditional and conservative. But I don't think it's necessary to say so much. Let's use the game to talk! ”

……

While Gao Dazhuang and his Brooklyn Nets are actively preparing for the playoffs, ESPN experts have also predicted players to the All-NBA team this season, and they believe that LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Gao Dazhuang will undoubtedly make the first team.

And Chris Paul will occupy another guard spot in the squad, in this case. Legendary Kobe Bryant can only settle for the second team.

Best First Team:

Center: Marc Gasol

The impact that Mark Gasol has brought to the Memphis Grizzlies on the defensive end this year is impossible to ignore. His positioning and interior defense simply don't reflect the stats.

But. The Grizzlies were able to limit opponents to the league's top scoring average, and Marc Gasol's contribution was key.

On the offensive end, after All-Star Weekend. Mark Gasol's assists per game are about the same as Pacers point guard George Hill, which is especially rare for an interior player.

Forward: LeBron James

His WARP is 24.9 this year, and James is just shy of reaching 25 for the third time.

The so-called substitution win value is the difference between the 82 wins contribution of a star and an average player in the same position. Despite only 24.9, it's enough to break into the top 10 of all time, and James has finished in the top 10 in substitution win value for three seasons to date, tying Michael Jordan.

Forward: Kevin Durant

Although the scoring title was eventually taken away by Gao Dazhuang, Durant's excellence is still dazzling, he is still the top scorer in the league, and when it comes to the efficiency of scorers, there are two statistics that cannot be left out, one is the true shooting rate, and the other is the usage rate.

On both counts, Durant has a combined rating of 1.302 this season.

Since the introduction of three-point shooting in the league, only two people have achieved a 1.30+ rating, the other being Altis Gilmour in the 1981-1982 season with a rating of 1.301.

Defender: Chris Paul

In the assists list, it is still Rajon Rondo's 11.1 leads per game, but Paul's 9.7 assists per game is at the cost of 2.3 turnovers, while Rondo is as high as 3.9.

Paul has the lowest turnovers rate in the league's top 13 assists list, with a pure playmaking rate of 12.3, according to John Hollinger, much higher than second-place Jose Calderón's 10.2 and stronger than Rondo's 9.2.

Defender: Tall and strong

With a 32.9 percent usage rate, he is second only to Carmelo Anthony in the league, he is one of the most versatile guards in the league, and he can squeeze out Kobe Bryant, in addition to being the league's most firepowered, offensive super scorer, and he has also helped the Brooklyn Nets achieve a better record.

In the long-term absence of Deron Williams and the team's continuous injuries, the Brooklyn Nets not only won many consecutive games, but still scored more than 10.3 points per 100 touches.

And it's probably the first rookie since Tim Duncan to make the All-NBA team in his rookie season, and this year he is tall and strong and has set too many league records.

The prediction for the All-Team Second Team is:

Forwards: Blake Griffin and Carmelo Anthony

Center: Tim Duncan

Defenders: Kobe Bryant and Russell Westbrook

Team of the Year Three:

Forwards: Paul George and Paul Pearce

Centre: Chris Bosh

Guards: James Harden and Dwayne Wade (TBA......)
