CHAPTER 323 EASPORTS

The Nets, who won eight straight games against the Milwaukee Bucks in back-to-back games, are still in fourth place in the East, but they have left the Celtics behind them, and their 18-10 start is the best start for the Nets in recent years.

The other team in New York, the Knicks, who are in the same division as the Nets, are still in first place in the East with 21 wins and 9 losses, the defending champion Miami Heat is second in the East with 20 wins and 8 losses, and the Atlanta Hawks are in third place in the East with a 19-9 record.

The top three in the West are the 25-6 Clippers, the 23-6 Thunder and the 24-8 Spurs.

On the night of the win over the Bucks, the Nets returned to New York overnight, and Coach Johnson announced a two-day holiday for the players to enjoy their belated Christmas break, and in two days they will have their next back-to-back games, with the Nets taking on Charlotte Bobcats and Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

However, the tall man who originally planned to experience American Christmas culture could not even guarantee a day of vacation, and after returning to New York, his agent Fagan was already waiting outside the door of the tall and strong apartment.

"Hey, my boy, you're really surprising me, but you should be a little more high-profile, especially in front of the media, you have to make sure your exposure is ......" As soon as they met, Fagan gave Gao Da Zhuang a warm hug.

In the NBA, a commercial league, players are tasked with more than just playing. Especially for star players, it is also an important job for them to deal with other business matters, which is why players hire agents.

Today's "devil" agent Dan? Fagan brought good news to Gao Dazhuang, of course, this good news is inseparable from Gao Dazhuang's recent outburst.

As Gao Da Zhuang continued to explode after his transfer to the Nets, Fagan had already realized that the young man in his hands would bring him enough good pay, so he decided that any matters related to Gao Da Zhuang would be handled by him personally, "When Gao Da Zhuang becomes a superstar in the league, maybe I can become the league's No. 1 agent" Fagan is full of hope for his future, so he also attaches great importance to Gao Da Zhuang.

In fact, after the failure of the last operation of Chinese player Yi Jianlian, Fagan has always had some shadows in his mind, and he also worried that the tall and strong may be short-lived. But to his surprise, the tall and strong did not disappoint him. Instead, it gave him a huge surprise.

In the 8 games after joining the Nets, Gao Dazhuang averaged nearly 40 points per game, and Gao Dazhuang proved that he was not a flash in the pan with his strength, and all 8 games Gao Dazhuang scored more than 30 points.

At present, the tall and strong man has surpassed the Rockets' top player James Harden with an average of 26.75 points per game. Ranked fifth in the scoreline. In front of him are three-time scoring champion Kevin Durant with 29.3 points, Eastern No. 1 New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony with 29.1, legendary superstar Kobe Bryant with 28.1 points and league number one star LeBron James with 26.9 points. The tall and strong in front of them are all the real superstars of the league.

At this time, Fagan realized that the young Chinese in his hands might grow into a real superstar of the alliance, and every time he thought of this, Fagan secretly sighed about his luck.

The tall storm has recently swept across the United States, no. It's the whole world, the first all-star vote is a good illustration of all this, and the recent outstanding performance of Gao Dazhuang has also made major manufacturers favor this popular student, which is not agent Fagan brought the news of the famous sports game company EASPORTS.

In fact, there are a lot of manufacturers who have contacted Fagan recently because of the popularity of Tall and Strong, but in order to grow up smoothly in Tall and Strong, Fagan naturally checked it himself, and finally chose the old sports game company EASPORTS.

For this reason, EASPORTS decisively abandoned the original candidate in its heart - Pelicans champion show Anthony Davis, and instead chose the world-popular Nets Tanhua Xiu Tall and Strong, after several detailed discussions with his agent Fagan, now as long as Gao Dazhuang nods, he will become the cover endorsement of EASPORTS' EANBALIVE2013.

Not so long ago, 2Ksports, the hottest basketball game of the moment, just selected LeBron James as the cover face of 2K13.

At this time, EA chose to be tall and strong, which kicked off the prelude to the game confrontation, although there is still a big gap between Gao Dazhuang and James in terms of age and achievement, but no one denies that he is growing into a superstar, and currently Gao Dazhuang can score 26.75 points per game, and there are two 50+ performances, Gao Dazhuang has been hailed as the best No. 2 player in the league after 3 years.

In the league, being able to endorse a game cover is just as proud as being on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which means that a player's achievements on the field are recognized and reflected in business.

For example, the mighty LeBron James also waited 10 years to become the cover character of 2K. And Gao Dazhuang has become the cover of EA games in just 3 months, although the attention of EA games is far less than that of 2K, but as a well-known old game, the popularity and recognition of Gao Dazhuang will be greatly improved.

Of course, Gao Dazhuang will not refuse such a win-win cooperation, so during the two-day vacation, Gao Dazhuang spent most of his time signing contracts and attending press conferences.

"It's an honor to be able to endorse the cover of EASPORTS' games, and I hope to be a booster for EANBALIVE's return, which makes me very excited," Gao Dazhuang said of the endorsement game cover.

"I hope to lead the Nets back to the playoffs and go further," said Gao Dazhuang when asked about the team's goals, "In the NBA I learned that nothing is going to be easy, I have to train and off the court, and I want to be a more well-rounded player and lead the team to new heights."

At the same time, the tall and strong do not forget to show the playful side of young people. He admitted to many of the media interviews that he is also a football fan, and EA's FIFA football is his favorite, "I will often experience the charm of football on the console, if it weren't for the fact that I am a little taller, I would probably play football"

The news of Gao Dazhuang's endorsement of EASPORTS immediately appeared in major TV, newspapers, Internet and other media, this is the effect of stars, EASPORTS selected Gao Dazhuang is precisely this point, of course, they did not pay the price under Fagan's calculations, but Gao Dazhuang did not disappoint them, and the NBA official also coincidentally released a message that echoed it from afar.

The NBA officially announced the latest rookie rankings on the same day: the Brooklyn Nets' tall and strong, the Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard, and the New Orleans Hornets' Anthony Davis are still firmly in the top three. Toronto Raptors' No. 8 rookie Terrence Rose made it to the list.

1. Tall and strong Brooklyn Nets

Since the start of the season. Except for the first week, Tall and Strong have been firmly at the top of the rookie list, and while Lillard and Davis also look good, it has to be said that they are still far behind Tall and Strong. The top four records in the East, the fifth place in the scoring list, the first place in the All-Star vote, etc., all indicate that Tall and Strong has gradually become a "superstar". If nothing else. He is the rookie of the year.

2. Damian Lillard Portland Trail Blazers

Lillard has locked up second place with his strong play, averaging 10 assists per game in his last three games. In fact, if it weren't for the presence of tall and strong, Lillard should have received more attention.

3. Anthony Davis New Orleans Hornets

In the past four games, Davis returned to the starting lineup after returning from injury, averaging 14.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block per game, which makes Davis's 2013 even more exciting, if he can consistently come up with 20+10 data, then he has the hope of hitting Lillard's second place.

Minnesota Timberwolves Alexei Schweed, Washington Wizards Bradley Beal, Charlotte Bobcats Michael Kidd Gilchrist, Detroit Pistons Andre Drummond, Cleveland Cavaliers Tyler Zeller and Toronto Raptors Terrence Rose are ranked 4-10.

……

On the 29th, the "scalpers" outside the Barclays Center arena are selling tickets in their hands without hurry, although today's Nets opponent is the weak Bobcats, but the home tickets are still sold out, the strong rise of tall and strong, so that New Yorkers return to basketball, and tall and strong also have a trend of becoming a new symbol of New York.

Earlier today, the Los Angeles Clippers won a hard-fought 116-114 away game against the Utah Jazz to make a team-high 16-game winning streak, while there is one team in the league that has lost 16 in a row, and that is the Charlotte Bobcats led by Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball".

The Nets, who have won eight in a row, welcomed the Bobcats, who had suffered a 16-game losing streak at home, and no one expected the Bobcats to end their losing streak in New York.

In fact, as expected, the matchup between this year's draft picks of Tanhua Tall and Strong and the top eye Michael Kidd Gilchrist proved that Old Man Joe's selection vision is really not good.

Gao Dazhuang showed his strength at the beginning of the game, continuously cutting inside to make fouls, and the Nets also established an early advantage under the leadership of Gao Dazhuang, and they played a 33-15 offensive game in the first quarter to set the tone of the whole game.

The Nets, who had established a large margin early on, slowed down in the second quarter, and the Bobcats began to regain their sense on the offensive end, but the Bobcats, who could not contain the opponent's offense on the defensive end, were unable to close the gap, and Ramon Sessions' 12-foot jumper once helped the team narrow the score to single digits, but the tall and strong returned from a timeout and made two breakthrough layups in color to extinguish the opponent's counterattack again.

At halftime, the Nets entered the second half with an 18-point lead at 56:38.

In the second half, the two sides fought again, Gao Dazhuang scored 5 points in a row at the beginning to help the team expand the difference to 28 points, and the Bobcats launched a counterattack after that, but the intermittent scoring on the offensive end made the team seem struggling, Gao Dazhuang had a huge advantage on the outside, and his continuous strong bursts helped the team continue to score points, and the Nets led the score 80:58 in the third quarter.

The Nets entered the fourth quarter only let Gao Dazhuang play for 1 minute and 30 seconds, and after Gao Dazhuang left the court, the other players of the Nets had a bottleneck in their offensive ability in the fourth quarter, scoring only 10 points in the whole quarter, which was obviously in contrast to the previous fiery offense.

The Bobcats were also unable to fight back, and the Bobcats' star Gilchrist continued to attack in the late stages to help the team slowly eat away at the point difference.

In the end, the Nets, who led by a large score, defeated the Bobcats 97-81 to win nine in a row, and also gave the Bobcats their 17th consecutive defeat.

In terms of statistics, Gao Dazhuang played 34 minutes in order to stay in the game against Kao's back, made 11 of 23 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist; Gerard Wallace contributed a double-double of 19 points and seven rebounds in the third quarter, and Humphries, who came off the bench, also scored a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds.

"It's hard to keep us on the confidence when you're on a losing streak, so we've got to find a way to break out of that," said Bobcats head coach Dunlap who has lost 17 in a row.

When asked about the Nets' recent performances, Dunlap said: "There's not much to say, he's a phenomenal player, we can't guard him at all"

After the win over the underdog Bobcats, Nets fans and the media in New York focused on the Nets' next opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had Kyrie Irving, the top pick of the tournament and also known as the league's hope. (To be continued......)
