"Oh" The moment the basketball fell into the Nets, the entire Barclays Center arena stood up and cheered, while the Nets players poured out of the bench to the tall man.

However, the first to congratulate the tall and strong was James Harden, the core player of the opponent Rockets: "Hey, congratulations, well done."

"But I still score a little more than you," Harden immediately added without waiting for Gao Dazhuang to respond, emphasizing.

"Ha, then it seems that today is a win-win result," Gao Dazhuang smiled and stretched out his right hand to slap Harden with a heavy high-five.

In fact, Harden of the Rockets played well in this game, shooting 16-of-25 from the field, including 4-of-7 from three-point range and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line, scoring a career-high 46 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Of course, the tall and strong was not to be outdone, shooting 15 of 29 from the field, especially 8 of 13 three-pointers, and hit 6 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, plus 6 free throws, and scored 44 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the game.

In terms of scoring, Harden scored two more points than Tall and Strong, but Brooklyn won Houston by one point.

After the game, Coach Johnson of the Nets attended the press conference with his apprentice Tall Strong, and the Rockets were Coach McHale and James Harty.

The Nets' last-minute last-minute win showed their ability to finish in the winning moments, and at the press conference, Nets head coach Johnson took the lead in speaking: "In the last practice, we focused on the last-minute tactics. It's just how to score the last goal, and now it's nice to see the result, we're training and tactically co-ordinating, we're working on that, we're training with a lot of competition, and in training, our guys are very serious, and the situation was similar to tonight, and now it's a moment that works, which is very good."

Gao Dazhuang also smiled and said, "We have very good training. The coach arranged different situations at the last moment for us to run tactics. Run the best tactics, so at the end of the race, I felt like this was the tactic we ran in training, which was fun. Nobody wants to lose. We carried out the battle plan. It worked, we haven't trained much in the last two weeks, but the last two days have been good. This helped us."

There is no doubt that Gao Dazhuang is synonymous with the current Nets team of Mr. Key, who led the Nets to a 20-point comeback with a magical layup, the last time they completed a 20-point comeback was against the Bucks on December 12, 2006.

"A player like Tall and Strong — I don't even know how to define him, he made incredible shots" Coach Johnson was clearly in a good mood after the win, and he also praised Tall and Strong: "In that tense moment when everyone is holding their breath, he is as good as Kobe Bryant and doing the right thing at the right time."

"Gao, what do you think of your final lore?" A reporter asked in a loud voice.

"When I took the throw-in, my teammates and I both knew what we were going to do, and the Rockets looked like they were using man-to-man defense, and the focus was on me, so I needed help from my teammates, and thanks to my teammates, they created opportunities for me to attack, and the victory belongs to the whole team," replied with a smile.

"Gao, you made eight three-pointers today, especially in the final quarter, which was impressive," another reporter said.

"Oh yes, it's been a long time since I've hit so many three-pointers in a game, and I didn't really care about that earlier, I mean threes, so I spent a little more time practicing my shooting last night, and obviously, that helped me and build confidence," Gao replied.

"Gao, you were 20 points behind in the game, but you ended up turning the game around, how did you do that?" The reporter continued to ask.

"Our bench players have helped the team a lot," said Tall and Strong, "Stackhouse said to me during the game, if I look anxious or panicked, my teammates will become like me, so I have to calm myself down, and even if I miss a shot, I'll just put it down because I know that sooner or later the touch will come back and I'm going to shoot for sure." ”

"High, you know what? In today's Thunder win over the Mavericks, Kevin Durant scored a career-high 52 points, what do you say? "The questions from the journalists came and went.

"Oh, congratulations to Kevin, but I'm not surprised at all, he's the league's best scorer," replied the tall man decisively.

"You're also the league's best scorer," said Coach Johnson on the sidelines, who immediately burst into laughter at the press conference.

The Rockets lost the game, but their performance was commendable, for which Rockets coach McHale said: "I'm proud of our team's performance — and at the same time, it's a little bit disappointing, we played well in the first half, we did everything we had to do, we played smart, but we couldn't finish the game, the Nets were resilient enough, there's no doubt that Tall is an incredible player."

"I think we played a little bit disjointed," James Harden, who scored a career-high 46 points, said with some reluctance, "We knew the Nets were going to come back, they weren't going to sit back and sit back and sit behind by 20 points all game, and in the end they erased the gap and eventually won, we made a lot of fatal mistakes on the court, and I don't even want to remember today's game."

……

Barkley, who was the commentator at ESPN in this game, couldn't help but sigh after watching the tall and strong performance, "There is no shortage of speed, explosion, power, and excellent three-point shooting, watching his game is really impressive"

But apart from praising the tall and strong like the outside world, Barkley doesn't think the Nets in front of him have reached a state of perfection, on the contrary, he feels that the presence of the tall and strong hides many of the team's flaws, "I don't think the other players in the Nets team have played at a decent level except for being tall and strong."

Barkley said more directly, in his opinion, Nets center Lopez is going downhill, his rebounding problem has not been solved, but Barkley finally saved face for Lopez "You have to remember that he is a very smart player, now he is just adjusting his beat, and once the playoffs come, then he will be ready." ”

In Barkley's view, the Rockets didn't have a chance to win yesterday, but they didn't use their advantage to force the opponent into passivity, "The Rockets' big man didn't show the performance of dominating the interior, Asik and Jefferson had to take the interior for themselves and get the opponent into foul trouble, and if they did, then the Nets would have to use a two-man package against them, and the game would have a very different trend."

Although Barkley also made a point of pointing out that the Nets' two bench players played well as the reason for the Nets' victory: Stackhouse controlled the tempo on the court, while Anderson grabbed 12 rebounds in the half.

But in the end, Barkley's overall assessment of the Brooklyn Nets' "technical" win over the Houston Rockets was: "The tall and strong performance masks the team's shortcomings, and apart from the tall, the rest of the people are not worth mentioning."

Barkley's statement exposed the Nets' starting center Lopez to the "firepower" of the media again, and his strange data of 20 points and 1 rebound was also ridiculed by many media.

And at this time, ESPN broke the news again: the Lakers may have to consider trading Howard.

The Lakers have been rejecting trade inquiries about Howard in recent weeks, and they still believe Howard can sign a contract extension with the team after becoming a free agent in the summer.

Now, however, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, with sources telling ESPN that the Lakers are likely to be forced to reconsider Howard's departure, and they may trade before the Feb. 21 trade deadline, as Howard is increasingly dissatisfied with his role in Mike D'Antoni's tactical system, making it highly likely that he will leave on a free transfer in the summer.

As the team manager, Mitchie Kupchak of course denied the news, he didn't think the team needed to trade Howard, but the Lakers' current bad situation has made Howard's hope of staying less and less.

Howard felt more and more uncomfortable in the Lakers system, and in the face of reporters' inquiries, Howard said that the Lakers should stick to the inside-out style of play, "I can't do anything about it, I can only try to play well", and against the Bulls, Howard only had 5 shots and scored 8 points.

So although Lakers general manager Kupchak said that the team does not need to trade Howard, the harsh reality is likely to make them change their decision, because if Howard does leave as a free agent in the summer, then the Lakers will be empty of money and likely to collapse.

The Nets have always been an active suitor of Howard, and Rudolph, a reporter from the RealGM website who has a good relationship with Howard, even said that the Nets are ready to attack Howard again.

It has been previously reported that the Nets have lost interest in Howard, but Rudolph said that the fact that the Lakers' deterioration has rekindled a fire in the eyes of the Nets, and they hope to impress Howard with the team's harmonious locker room situation and excellent record, so that the "Warcraft" Howard settlement will become a reality.
