The Nets' successful sniping pushed the Clippers' new franchise-history winning streak to 17 games, and the Clippers ceded the top spot in the West to the Thunder.

Coincidentally, the final leg of the Nets' Western road trip is to challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder, which means that the Nets will face two "No. 1 in the West" in a row.

"Then let's give the Clippers the No. 1 spot in the West again" Before flying to Russia, Coach Johnson put forward new "requirements" for the players, and his tone of voice was quite instructive.

"Hey, it's nice to be able to decide the No. 1 ranking in the West," Gao Dazhuang also joked with a smile.

Although the game was only available the next day, the Nets chose to fly to Russia on the day of the game against the Clippers in order to save time on the road.

Victory is the best "buffer", after the victory over the Clippers, who have won 17 consecutive games, the Nets swept away the gloom of the heavy defeat to the Spurs, and the confidence returned to the faces of the players, and the players on the plane did not seem to be tired.

But God played a little joke on them, and on the way to Ostra, the Nets were caught in a snowstorm blowing from the coast.

While the team members were laughing and playing, the captain said through the in-flight announcement: "Boys, we have encountered a blizzard, we will fly on the edge of the blizzard, for the convenience of navigation, we will walk along the highway, so the flight height will not be too high."

At this point, Nets power forward Humphries began to complain, "Oh my God, how could you be in such trouble." We're going to be fine, right? God forbid"

As the plane began to bump in the airflow, the atmosphere in the cabin began to freeze a little, and even the tall and strong were a little nervous, but fortunately, the Nets had a joking player to liven up the atmosphere.

He was Gerard Wallace, and he turned his head and smiled at the tall man and said, "Dude, what are you worried about?" Compared to taking a plane, taking a car and crossing the street is easier for you to hang up, and the plane is very, very safe, arguably the safest means of transportation, you know? Not long ago, there was a train accident in France. caused 90 deaths".

Gao Dazhuang asked in amazement, "Really?" What causes it? ”

Wallace replied calmly, "Oh, a plane fell on a train."

"Damn" At this time, Gao Dazhuang knew that what Wallace said just now was just a cold joke, but Wallace's cold joke relieved the players' nervousness very well.

Although the road is a bit tortuous, but anyway. The Nets eventually made it to the city.

Oklahoma City is located in the central part of Oklahoma. It is the capital and largest city of Oklahoma in the United States.

This is not the first time that Gao Dazhuang has come to Russia. Gao Dazhuang's first preseason game in the NBA was against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Gao Dazhuang still came to Russia as the Rockets' "Tanhua Show".

Coming to the Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the tall and strong mentality is completely different. The first time he came here, Gao Dazhuang was more or less adoring in his heart, and Durant was also a tall and strong idol, but this time when he came here, Gao Dazhuang wanted to conquer here more and beat Durant, who is currently at the top of the scoring list.

The Oklahoma City Thunder claim to be the league's strongest youth team, but the tall wants to tell the league that the strongest young player is not in Oklahoma, but in Brooklyn.

Tall and strong's refusal to admit defeat is what Coach Johnson of the Nets likes to see, in fact, before today's game, Coach Johnson specially showed Gao Dazhuang a message.

This is a report on ESPN's official website, which points out that the NBA is now at a high level of competition, and there are many young but skilled players, for which ESPN expert Nell Pine recently listed 12 young players who may enter the Hall of Fame in the future.

The three more important parameters in this list are age, winning percentage, and dominance.

Since the upper age limit of the list is 25 years old, 27-year-old standouts such as Chris Paul and Dwight Howard will not be able to make the list.

At the top of the list is the Thunder's leading player, 24-year-old Kevin Durant, who has a 97.1% chance of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Durant is almost certain to be in the Hall of Fame, he is not only young, but also perfect in all aspects, and his future is relatively certain, of course, he also has a chance to increase his value, Durant is the fifth-highest winning player in league history at 23 years old, behind LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard and Tracy McGrady, he will be in the Hall of Fame.

In second place is the Clippers' 23-year-old All-Star power forward Blake Griffin, who has an 82.8 percent chance of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

In the first two seasons of his career, Griffin's winning percentage was almost the same as that of James, Paul, and Charles Barkley, but Griffin's career started a little later than James and Paul, and he had an age disadvantage, as long as he didn't get injured, it wasn't a problem to enter the Hall of Fame.

In third place is the Rockets' 23-year-old ace James Harden, who has a 78.5% chance of being inducted into the Hall of Fame, according to the article

Since coming to the Rockets, Harden has undergone a metamorphosis, and at the age of 22, his winning percentage is between Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan, both of whom are undoubtedly Hall of Famers.

In fourth place is the 19-year-old Nets' new core of tall and strong, and he is also the only rookie in this ranking, and the article believes that his chance of being inducted into the Hall of Fame is 67.9%.

In fact, Tall is the player with the highest winning percentage on this list, but because he has played fewer games, he has not been included in the league's final statistics, his rookie season is almost better than James, he has been listed as an MVP candidate, and the biggest variable now is whether he can maintain such a high winning percentage with the Nets.

Ranked 5-12 players: 5 Kevin Loew (60.5%), 6 Russell Westbrook (50.9%). 7 Serge Ibaka (44.1%), 8 Ryan Anderson (31.9%), 9 Greg Monroe (30.0%), 10 Paul George (29.6%), 11 Brandon Jennings (19.7%), 12 Derrick Rose (18.8%).

Three of the top 12 young players are the main players of the Thunder, and the third-ranked Harden also moved to the Rockets from the Thunder.

……

"Three-time scoring champion - Durant" is tall and strong, staring at the name of the first-ranked Durant.

Coach Johnson skillfully used this information to stimulate the tall and strong desire to win, and sure enough, the tall and strong looked particularly vigorous after the opening of the game.

The 19,000 fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered on the home team, which had won 12 straight home games. They have reason to believe that the Thunder will surprise the fans again. But the first to break out was the Nets' tall and strong core.

Tall and strong received a pass from Stackhouse at the top of the three-point arc, and at this time, Sabo Seflosha, who was responsible for defending the tall and strong official Thunder defender.

Sephorosa is the Thunder's best individual defensive man, and he's more of a never-tireless devil looming in front of his opponents.

Severosa, who lacked attacking ability, earned himself respect and a contract with a tough defense. He was named to the All-Defensive Second Team in 2010.

But Seferrosa is not an all-around defender either. Faced with projection mastery like Anthony. A perverted all-round scorer who is good at close offense and can also play back, Sephorosa is often the target of explosions.

It's unfortunate. Today, his opponent is tall and strong, and he is a super scorer like Anthony.

"Pap", "Pap" is tall and strong to dribble under his crotch two times in a row, and his body is sideways, leaning directly on Sefrosa's body.

With a sound of "Peng", the tall and strong one of his backs directly squeezed Sephorosa away by a small step, and when Sephorosa just squatted down and was about to resist the second impact of the tall and strong, the tall and strong retracted his strength, turned around violently, and slipped past Sephorosa's flank in an instant.

"Oh", the tall, strong, and clean breakthrough caused a burst of exclamations from the fans at the scene.

The tall and strong who broke through the defense rushed to the basket with one lunge, and at this time, the Thunder's Perkins and Durant hit the tall and strong from both sides.

The tall man with the ball deliberately glanced at the periphery, and Perkins's footsteps also subconsciously paused, at which time the tall and strong picked up speed again, and a stride forced the inside line from Perkins's side.

The tall man who connected the two chose to jump high after bursting into the penalty area and directly attacked the basket.

At the same time, Durant, the number one star of the Thunder, also waved his long arm and pounced from the side.

With a "Peng", the tall and strong hands flying in the air protected the ball, resisted Durant with his body, and pushed it away with the help of impact, and his left hand wanted to pick up the basket in the glide.

Seeing that the tall and strong layup could not be stopped, Durant gritted his teeth and slapped directly to the tall and strong arm.

The referee's whistle sounded in time, and Durant's foul did not knock the ball out of Gao Dazhuang's hand, but when Gao Dazhuang lost his center of gravity, he gently picked his wrist and threw the ball out of his hand in an extremely difficult situation.

With a "brush", the ball falls into the net accurately in a small parabola.

"Defensive fouls, free throws," the referee said with a hand pointing at Durant.

2+1！

After landing on the ground, Durant took several steps back due to the impact force, and the tall and strong did not look at him at all after landing, and turned his head to meet his teammates.

"Huh?" Durant looked tall and strong with an iron face, and now he could clearly feel the threat of this young rookie, which made him particularly unhappy, and for this reason his fist began to clench more and more.

"Oh" the rest of the Nets immediately gathered around to celebrate, while the fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena fell silent.

Gao Dazhuang stood at the free throw line and took a deep breath, the problem of free throws has been plaguing Gao Dazhuang for a while, so Gao Dazhuang shook his head, and then looked up at the basket, stepped on his feet, stretched out his arms, and shot the ball.

With a "dang", the tall and strong free throw ghost hit the back edge of the basket and bounced out.

"Okay" At this time, Durant, Ibaka, and Perkins of the Thunder jumped up at the same time and pounced on the flying basketball.

"Oh" The home fans also let out a cheer, but their cheers were not over, only to see a black figure gently popping the ball in the crowd under the basket.

After the basketball is stressed, it bounces to the basket again, and with a "brush" sound, the basket hits.

Durant looked back and saw that he was tall and strong again! Just now, the tall and strong man reached out from behind Durant with his excellent bounce and pointed the ball into the basket.

"SHIT" Durant cursed in his heart, although the coach and teammates did not make a sound, Durant knew that the ball just now was his mistake, and it was his card problem that led to the success of the tall and strong sneak attack.

At 4:0, the Nets got off to a pretty good start. (To be continued......)
