Relying on the "amazing" performance of the tall and strong core players, the Brooklyn Nets defeated their opponents in the away game against the Boston Celtics, winning eight in a row.

"Gotta give him a lot of praise, he played really well today" Brooklyn Nets head coach Johnson said of the tall and strong performance in the post-game press conference, "but I don't think he deserved 18 free throws, I think there were some free throws that were missed, he was very tough in the game, and he hit back with some doubts."

In today's game, Gao Dazhuang scored 42 points, 17 of which came from the free throws.

"Obviously he's very talented at that, he's very aggressive," Deron Williams, another star player of the Brooklyn Nets, also praised after the game: "He shoots, he forces fouls, he can keep scoring, and that's why he's the league's top scorer."

"It's a fierce game" After the game, in the locker room, in front of the media reporters who surrounded him, Gao Dazhuang smiled helplessly: "This game is like a playoffs, although I haven't experienced it yet, but the fans are crazy, and I'm very happy that the team can win......"

After the game, the head coach of the Boston Celtics, Doug Rivers, also praised the tall and strong: "He can control his body well, he can change direction flexibly when he is moving at high speed, he is so strong, he has the ability to keep his balance after touching the opponent, he can continue to push forward, it is difficult for him to lose his balance." ”

Celtics' defensive snag Paul Pierce believes the trick to being tall is to control the tempo, "His rhythm is just right to make physical touches." A lot of people don't master the rhythm, and he's too fast."

A big loss at home silenced the Boston media, and the winning New York media didn't intend to chase after it, and after the game, the New York Times published a front-page article: "Tall and strong defeated Kevin Durant!" ”

Why did this Brooklyn Nets vs. Boston Celtics clash involving Kevin Durant?

It turns out that Kyle Durant only scored 24 points in his last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, and he is currently averaging 29.41 points per game.

However, Gao Dazhuang, who scored 42 points and led the Brooklyn Nets to an eight-game winning streak, now averaged 29.44 points per game, thus surpassing Kevin Durant to rise to the top of the NBA scoring list.

The last time a player became the scoring champion in his rookie season was back in the 1968-1969 season, when San Diego Rockets rookie Elvin ? Hayes averaged 28.38 points per game to win the scoring title.

More and more fans and media are paying attention to the scoring title battle, and as the regular season comes to a close, the battle between Tall and Strong and Kevin Durant will become more and more interesting.

……

Although the Brooklyn Nets are in very good shape after an eight-game winning streak. But they still need non-stop wins to secure a second place in the East. Behind them, the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are also sprinting with all their might.

When the team needs a win the most, the tall and strong also knows what he has to do, especially when facing the most direct challenger "behind" - the Indiana Pacers.

The tall man who was a guest at the Bankers' Life Arena played the whole game, playing 48 minutes for the first time. And got a high score of 49 points. The tall and strong led the Brooklyn Nets to a nine-game winning streak with the most perfect dominant performance.

In this game, he was tall and strong, and he shot 14 of 27. He made 5 of 8 three-pointers and 16 of 16 free throws, and had "perverted" statistics of 49 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals.

Meanwhile, Tall Steel's 49 points also tied the record for a visiting player in scoring at the Bankers Living Arena. The previous record was the 2008 Phoenix Suns' All-Star center Amare Stoudemire, who also scored 49 points on the court.

Although the tall and strong performance was eye-catching throughout the game, he was once in a bullfight with Paul George in the game, which caused the Brooklyn Nets to experience a "thrilling moment".

The Indiana Pacers currently sit fourth in the East with 46 wins and 29 losses, three wins behind the second-placed Brooklyn Nets and 0.5 wins behind the third-placed New York Knicks.

Therefore, the Indiana Pacers had an extremely strong desire to win this game, and as the core player of the team, Paul George played extremely aggressively from the beginning of the game.

But his scoring streak clearly inspired Tall and Strong to score stronger, so Tall and Strong also started a "match" battle with the most improved player of the year and the hottest candidate in the first quarter.

As a result, the two were inseparable in the first 12 minutes, with Tall and Strong and Paul George each scoring 17 points.

Although the rising Stout had a solid offensive performance in the following games, he was a little too obsessed with Paul George at some points and neglected the whole team's offense, which left the Indiana Pacers with some opportunities.

Amid the "frenzy" of the home fans, the Indiana Pacers held a three-point lead in the first half of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the Brooklyn Nets were forced to ask for a timeout, and after Coach Johnson's "awakening", the tall man who fell into the offensive "quagmire" had an epiphany.

So after the timeout, the tall began to pay more attention to passing the ball to his teammates, and soon sent a series of wonderful passes to Kenneth Faried, and the Brooklyn Nets once again regained the lead with a small surge.

And at 8 minutes and 11 seconds into the fourth quarter, when Paul George fouled and sent Gao Dazhuang to the free throw line, the bankers living arena actually sounded the shout of "MVP", although the sound was small, this is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Gao Dazhuang.

The Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers are currently competing for the Eastern Conference standings, and now that the tall man can win the MVP on Indiana's home court, it is clear that he has won over the Indiana fans with his performance.

Seeing the tall and strong start passing, the Indiana Pacers' defensive strategy changed. They no longer look at the tall and strong bag, but pay more attention to the marking under the basket.

But the tall and strong showed his super singles ability at this time, and he hit consecutive jumpers from the left wing in one-on-one situations, and the advantage of the Brooklyn Nets gradually expanded.

Led by the tall and strong, the Brooklyn Nets left no chance for the Indiana Pacers, who were firmly in control until they won the game.

108：99

The Brooklyn Nets are on a nine-game winning streak against their rivals, and their 49 points continue to secure his lead in the scoring charts.

In this game, he is tall and eye-catching, not only offensively, but also defensively, and it is clear that he has entered the playoffs.

In the case of playing a full 48 minutes. Tall and strong sent four blocks. There were also three steals, which are all a good indication of his aggressiveness in defense.

At the moment when the Nets need to win, Tall and Strong not only works offense, but also fights on defense. The New York media agreed that as long as the tall and strong can continue this all-round leadership performance. Brooklyn will firmly occupy the second spot in the East. And it will put a lot of pressure on the Miami Heat.

With the win over the Indiana Pacers, the Brooklyn Nets improved their record to 50-26 and secured an Eastern Conference playoff spot ahead of schedule.

……

After the win over the Indiana Pacers. The Brooklyn Nets are back in New York again, they will have a "happy" schedule at home, in four consecutive home games, the opponent has not won a high percentage, as long as the Brooklyn Nets grasp this wave of wins, they will smoothly enter the playoffs as the second in the East.

"Run", "Come on", "Hurry up"... The Brooklyn Nets' practice arena at Barclays Center was full of cheers, and despite the obvious advantage, the Nets did not let up in the slightest, and the morale of the players was high.

Ahead of their home game against the Washington Wizards, Tall and Kawhai Leonard played one-on-one in practice while their teammates watched from the sidelines.

It is extremely rare for the reporter to be invited out of the team "bullfight", but the tall and strong did it?

"He's very good on the outside, and I want to practice with him a little more," said Gao Dazhuang, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "It's very useful when you communicate some of the things you see in the game and use them to improve each other."

After a successful victory over Kaulvay Leonard in "The Bullfight", the tall man began to "spare every teammate".

Soon the tall and strong found Kyle Korver, and the project was of course three-point shooting, especially the bottom corner three-pointer, and the two were of high quality regardless of the training time, training intensity or subject.

Tall and strong also took Kyle Korver's advice and "corrections" in training, raising his bottom corner three-point arc to make it more likely to "hollow into the net".

After "bullfighting" with Kawhai Leonard and Kyle Korver for three points, the tall and strong pulled "Half-Orc" Kenneth Faried and "Birdman" Chris Anderson to attack in the low post after training.

By this time, the reporters had already left the field, and all three of them practiced until they were sweating profusely before returning to the locker room.

No one knows how their training went, but the big, relaxed and driven attitude, and the unhappiness written on the faces of the two insiders, said it all.

Tall and energetic, he can use this overtime to bond and stimulate the team, and also choose the project and method according to the person's preference.

When he injured his ankle in the game against the Eagles, he still came to the training gym to watch the video with his teammates and then watch his teammates finish the workout, for which Coach Johnson also revealed that "it was a pretty good workout".

After the win over the Indiana Pacers, Gao Dazhuang commented on the team's recent performance and revealed what he wants from the team: "We need everyone to keep improving, everyone has to walk together", and at this time, Gao Dazhuang is becoming more and more like a qualified leader.

Because before today's game, the Brooklyn Nets adapted to the court before the Washington Wizards, so the extra practice of the three of them with Faried and Anderson was equivalent to "dragging the court", and finally the Washington Wizards had to come in to "clear the court".

But in the game that night, after special training, Gao Dazhuang and his teammates "thundered" and "cleared" the Washington Wizards in only three quarters of the game.

85：111

Gao Dazhuang scored 33 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in this game, while the Brooklyn Nets also won 10 consecutive games and continued to consolidate the second place in the East. (To be continued......)
