As in previous games, the Brooklyn Nets made a total of 39 three-point attempts from beyond the three-point line in the Brooklyn Nets' big win over the Dallas Mavericks, hitting 15 of them.

Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks, was amazed, saying, "I've never seen such a tactic, they shoot crazy three-pointers, recklessly ...... them."

Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle was also concerned about the Brooklyn Nets' three-point shooting, saying in his post-game press conference: "Oh my God, they're such a dangerous team, they're sticking to their tactics, they're good at man defending, they're using three-point shooting and hitting multiple shots, and we don't want them to have as many three-point shots, but they have a really good shot......

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban believes that the reason for the team's loss is because of the tall and strong, and he believes that it is because the tall and strong attract the opposing defense and give his teammates more undisturbed shooting opportunities.

He said in an interview with reporters: "Yes, the current Nets team is difficult to deal with, each of them can shoot the ball, but the most important thing is that because he is tall and strong, his breakthrough can always attract so much attention, so the rest of the Nets have a chance to shoot calmly on the outside......

However, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is not wrong in his words, and many media, pundits and fans have also found that the tall and strong are becoming more and more deterrent.

In fact, in the game, there was also a very funny scene: at the end of the fourth quarter, the tall and strong man stood near the halfway line and held the ball, and the three Mavericks players closest to him made gestures at the same time. Have the other teammates come forward to mark the defense.

The threat of being tall and strong is evident from this, and his breakthrough has been so sharp that no one wants to defend him head-on.

For Gao Dazhuang's performance in the past month, not only the New York media, but also most of the American media have given full affirmation, "miracle", "phenomenon", "perfect...... Words of praise poured in.

On the same day that the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Dallas Mavericks to win 8 in a row, the NBA official website also announced the latest edition of the MVP list, LeBron James, who has led the Heat to 9 consecutive wins, is firmly at the top of the list, while Tony Parker, who led the Spurs to the first record in the league, quickly rose to No. 2, and Kevin Durant fell to No. 3. In addition, the most "red" tall and strong in the league has quietly ranked fourth.

1. LeBron James (Miami Heat)

Although Jordan constantly questioned James. He was also blocked twice by Kobe Bryant in the All-Star Game, but back in the regular season, he still showed his dominance, scoring 34 points and 11 assists against the Hawks. Back-to-back battles with the Bulls. He also recorded 36 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. James led the Heat to consolidate their position as the No. 1 team in the East.

2. Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs)

The All-Star weekend break didn't slow down Tony Parker and the Spurs, who scored 30 points and 11 assists to lead the team to victory against the Kings. In the next direct conversation with Paul, he scored 31 points and 7 assists, while Paul only had 4 points and 3 assists, and Parker averaged 28.5 points and 9.3 assists per game in the past five games, shooting 56% from the field, and the Spurs also ranked first in the league.

3. Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)

No one doubts Durant's greatness, but the Thunder are now in a slump, suffering a three-game losing streak, and despite Durant's second career triple-double (16 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists) in the game reversed by the Rockets, he shot just 4-of-13 from the field and, surprisingly, Sefrosa took three more shots than him.

4. Tall and strong (Brooklyn Nets)

No one has been playing like Tall and Strong lately, he was the MVP of the All-Star Game, the MVP of the Rookie Game, and the dunk king, three-point king and skill net of All-Star Weekend, and he won almost every award he could win on All-Star Weekend.

In front of Kobe, Gao Dazhuang scored 41 points, two games against the Bucks, Gao Dazhuang scored 41 points and a season-high 56 points in a single game, 35 points against the Hornets, 32 points against the Bobcats, and 37 points against the Mavericks...... This series of data shows that Gao Dazhuang is already the top scorer in the league.

With Brook Lopez away from Denver and Deron Williams out injured, Gao Dazhuang led his young teammates to an eight-game winning streak and finished second in the East, and more importantly, the Nets are the team that truly belongs to him.

5. Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks)

The Knicks are still in a good position, but their form has slipped this month, losing four of their last five games, and they didn't make a big deal at the trade deadline, which means they're happy with the current state of the team, with Anthony contributing more and more on both ends of the floor, as LeBron James did.

6. Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers)

Paul had a good All-Star performance, but the game against the Spurs brought him and the Clippers back to reality, which was only a regular season loss, but the Clippers had to face up to their problems, and if they want to compete for a championship, they have to play better, and Paul only had 4 points and 3 assists on this night.

7. James Harden (Houston Rockets)

Harden was the host of the All-Star team, and he played the best game of his career in the first game after the All-Star weekend, scoring a career-high 46 points, shooting an astonishing 14-of-19 from the field, 11-of-12 from the free-throw line, and he also grabbed eight rebounds and six assists to lead the Nets to a comeback against the Thunder, and the team is also going all out to make the playoffs.

8. Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers)

The death of owner Jerry Buss is a huge blow to the Lakers throughout the season, and the importance of Buss's prestige and influence to the Lakers is self-evident, and Kobe Bryant has stated that the team will definitely make the playoffs, and not just a round trip, and the victory over the Celtics is a good step.

9. Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)

The Heat twins took the team's intensity to new heights, and Wade snapped a strong bounce from an early season slump. And he found a good balance with James on offense, averaging 22.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game this month, and the Heat's excellent performance proves that they have begun to enter the rhythm of the playoffs.

10. Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)

Westbrook's performance was sometimes like a double-edged sword, as he recorded a quasi-triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists against the Nets, but only made 8-of-20 shooting and had seven turnovers, and now there are few people who can stop Westbrook, but he still needs to control his mistakes if the Thunder want to be the best team. Shot selection should also be more cautious.

…….

Shining stars and excellent records have made Gao Dazhuang and his Nets team more and more in the spotlight from all sides. The media exposure is even more different from before.

Then Westin, a well-known reporter for the famous American basketball magazine "Dime", wrote a piece: "Small ball tactics settled in Brooklyn, and the Nets plan to play run-and-shoot?" article.

The article states:

Brooklyn Nets center Marcin Gortat is 2.11 meters tall, and of course, the average height of the Nets is even lower after the replacement of "Birdman" Anderson.

Power forward Kenneth Faried is 2.03 meters tall. Small forward Kawhai Leonard is 2.01 meters tall. Tall and strong on the back line, 1.99 meters tall. Lance Stephenson is 1.96 meters tall.

The Brooklyn Nets' lineup is not superior in height, but it has an absolute speed advantage, and the core of the small-ball strategy is to be fast. Crush your opponents with speed.

The so-called "runandgun", also known as "V" tactics", is probably an open offensive system in the half-court, players constantly create opportunities through movement and conduction, and any player can choose to shoot as appropriate at any time in any place, such a team mostly relies on the outside feel.

In the NBA, the bombardment tactics are most prominent in the Suns in the 05-06 season, and the current Nets team also has a slight feature.

The Nets' lineup is tall and strong, Leonard, Stephenson, and even Korver, Stackhouse, and Delfino in the bench lineup all have three points, and the shooting percentage is good, which is another point of running and shooting, and there are definitely a group of non-stop running shooters on the court.

The height of the big forward Faried is the height of the small forward, and after the "Birdman", the Nets' lineup actually does not have an absolute center, so at this time the Nets are playing a pseudo-inside, of course, it does not mean that the Nets have no inside line, Faried can score on the inside line by footwork and good physical fitness.

It's just that compared with teams like the Lakers and Spurs with interior lines like Howard and Duncan, they play half-court offense, that is, big-ball tactics, while the Nets are both inside and outside, but focus on speed and crush opponents with fast attacks.

In the previous games, the Nets' style was "offense to offense, firepower to win", often keeping four people on the court who could attack with the ball and shoot three-pointers.

Of course, a run-and-gun team is bound to need a good point guard, and Deron Williams is yet to return, and Stackhouse and Delfino are not up to the standard of a good point guard, but the tall and strong point guards make up for it.

His huge deterrent power on the court made the Nets' tactics "smooth".

But the weakness of the running and shooting is also obvious, and that is the problem of defense, even though the Brooklyn Nets can be invincible in the regular season by relying on offense, but the playoffs are defensive first.

Just like the Phoenix Suns in the 05-06 season, even though they can rely on running to bomb in the regular season, the playoffs are the world of defense after all, which is why the small-ball strategy has not blossomed.

The Suns were finally disappointed in the playoffs, and the Warriors played the Black Eight Miracle with small balls, but they were out in the second round, and the Mavericks failed to win the championship by playing running and bombing.

That's probably the problem for the Brooklyn Nets, who can rely on small-ball tactics and run and shoot to a good regular season.

But when it comes to the playoffs, it will be up to Tay and his younger teammates to find out that they will face bigger problems and challenges.

……

Nets head coach Johnson agrees with half of these views of Westin, a well-known reporter for the basketball magazine "Dime".

He agrees that the current Nets are indeed playing and shooting, and the Nets are constantly hitting opponents with quick counterattacks and a lot of three-point shots, and continue to win.

But what Coach Johnson disagrees with is that the Nets never intended to play small-ball tactics, nor did they intend to carry forward the "run-and-shoot" to the end.

Because the Brooklyn Nets, built around a tall and strong team, their goal is not just to make the playoffs, their goal is to look further.

However, the current players of the Brooklyn Nets are unaware of this problem, and they are caught up in endless winning joy, including their core players who are tall and strong. (To be continued......)
