After losing to the Dallas Mavericks, the Brooklyn Nets continue their difficult road trip with their next opponent being the Phoenix Suns.

The Phoenix Suns are currently battling the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz and others for a spot in the Western Conference playoffs, so there's no excuse for them not to give it their all against Brooklyn at home.

After the start of the game, Phoenix Suns core guard Goran Dragic scored three consecutive breakthrough layups, and the Suns started with a wave of 11-2 and won 22-17 in the first quarter.

The Nets did a decent job defensively throughout the first half, but never found their offensive rhythm, and the Phoenix Suns led 45-38 at halftime.

Nets core point guard Deron Williams had a small burst at the end of the third quarter, hitting three consecutive three-pointers in the final 1:35 of the third quarter to tie the score at 71-74.

But in the final quarter, Deron Williams lost his touch and missed multiple solo defenders, but fortunately, the Suns players did not shoot highly, so they missed the opportunity to extend the lead.

The two teams battled until the final 1 second, and with 45 seconds left in the game, Kawhai Leonard hit a mid-range shot to put the Nets up 89-91.

Then the Brooklyn Nets blocked a wave of offense from the Phoenix Suns with their aggressive defense.

In the final 10 seconds, the Brooklyn Nets were only two points behind, but they had the ball, and at this time, the Brooklyn Nets still had a chance to beat the opponent.

However, Deron Williams, who was in charge of the team's final shot, missed a three-point shot. The Brooklyn Nets fell short.

89：93

In the end, the Brooklyn Nets lost by four points to the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their back-to-back road trip.

The Phoenix Suns ended a three-game losing streak, with "Nash" Goran Dragic Jr. scoring 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Wes Johnson 21 points, PJ Tucker 14 points and 8 rebounds, and Markieff Morris 10 points and 15 rebounds.

The Brooklyn Nets did a good job defensively in normal games, but the problem still came on offense, and the Nets didn't score more than 90 points in two straight games, and it was definitely not just a matter of being tall and strong.

Deron Williams had 20 points and 11 assists, but he shot just 40 percent from the field. Kenneth Faried had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Kawhai Leonard had 14 points, seven rebounds and five assists, and Lance Stephenson had 10 points, three rebounds and four assists.

However, the only positive news is that while the Brooklyn Nets lost, their city rivals, the New York Knicks, also suffered a four-game losing streak.

As a result, the Brooklyn Nets can continue to occupy the top spot in the Atlantic region.

……

At the same time, the tall and strong ankle sprain continues to carry out conservative treatment under the guidance of the team's doctors. Although the redness and swelling have disappeared. However, the team doctor still forbade the tall and strong to immediately start high-intensity recovery training.

The current situation is very favorable for the Brooklyn Nets. There was no reason for the team to risk an early comeback, and despite his eagerness to fight, Coach Johnson strictly forbade him to travel to Denver.

That means the tall will continue to miss the Brooklyn Nets' away game against the Denver Nuggets. And if Gao Dazhuang wants to meet the team as soon as possible, he will have to wait until the team's fourth away road - Portland.

As a result, the tall man who stayed in New York for treatment had to follow his teammates through live TV, and maintained interaction with his teammates through Werther and text messages from time to time.

During this period, Gao Dazhuang also focused on one team, and that was the Brooklyn Nets' biggest enemy in the East - the defending champion Miami Heat.

Gao Dazhuang watched ESPN's live broadcast of the Miami Heat's away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The current in-form Miami Heat have won 24 games in a row and continue to close the league record of 33 straight wins.

And the Miami Heat are already thinking about hitting the 33-game winning streak, because in the next six games, they will face teams that have not made the playoffs, and they certainly have a reason to continue.

LeBron James, the league's number one star, is back in his hometown to face his old club, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And Cavaliers big men Kyrie Irving and Vallejo Anderson are both unavailable, and rookie Waiters may also have surgery, so he is also out for this game.

In every respect, the Miami Heat seemed to be going to be smooth sailing, but there were plenty of surprises in the game.

Before the game even started, there was a leak above the live scoreboard, and the game had to be postponed.

After finally solving the problem, LeBron James began to shake hands and hug acquaintances on the sidelines, and the game officially began, but it was the Cleveland Cavaliers who were the first to enter the state in the game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers shot 60 percent from the field in the first half, while the Heat looked a little out of their way.

With 7:44 left in the third quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers hit a three-pointer to give them a 27-point lead over the Miami Heat at 67:40.

It was at this time that the Miami Heat began to wake up from their sleep and gradually began to strengthen their defense against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Heat, led by James, began to launch a counterattack, and with 15.5 seconds left in the quarter, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer as the Miami Heat completed a 28-7 attack wave to tie the score at 68-74.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' Gibson then hit a three-pointer as the Cavaliers ended the first three quarters 77-68.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, LeBron James hit three three-pointers, and the Heat started the final quarter with a 12-2 attack wave.

After playing 2 minutes and 20 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat completed the comeback with 80:79 as James forced the inside to score.

At the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat finally showed the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops.

However, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home, have not given up. With 44 seconds left in the game, they tied the score at 95:96.

With 4.7 seconds left before the end, LeBron James made another layup to give the Miami Heat a 98-95 lead.

Unfortunately, Myers of the Cleveland Cavaliers missed a three-point shot in the final moment, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost, and the Miami Heat was able to get through the danger.

And in addition to the Miami Heat's 27-point reversal in this game, which impressed Gao Dazhuang, there was also a situation that touched Gao Dazhuang.

It happened with 8:21 left in the fourth quarter, when the Miami Heat fought back from a 27-point deficit and had an 83-79 lead after James hit three consecutive three-pointers and assisted on a three-pointer from Ray Allen. That's the equivalent of outscoring the Cavaliers by 31 points in the first quarter.

Just when the knight turned his head to attack. A fan dressed in white rushed into the stadium, and this fan was supposed to be a die-hard LeBron James fan.

I saw that the T-shirt he was wearing was printed in blue letters, with "We miss you" written on the front and "Come back in 2014" on the back. However, he was then restrained by security personnel. And take it out of the arena.

From this tiny plot. Gao Dazhuang felt the "love" of the fans for the team and the players.

It was with this kind of love from the fans that LeBron James played well in this game and played a triple-double. He contributed 25 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists and led the Miami Heat to a 27-point comeback.

After this game, the entire American basketball world once again set off a "James whirlwind", and everyone was crazy about LeBron James.

24 wins in a row! A wave of flow reversal 27 points behind! These are all miracles that LeBron James has just done.

To this end, ESPN even held a special symposium, inviting many columnists and well-known journalists to participate in the discussion.

The discussion is: this season's MVP, James or someone else?

Brett Cremainos: James, while Kevin Durant, tall and strong, or Chris Paul are all great, it's a shame for the league that James doesn't win the MVP compared to James' 26.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game, as well as the still-ongoing winning streak.

John Crolick: James, the standard of MVP is nothing more than individual performance, team performance and individual importance to the team, and by this standard, no one can challenge James.

Mark Stein: James, I don't know how long the Miami Heat will be on a winning streak or if they can defend their title, but what we know right now is that James will win the MVP trophy this season.

Ethan Strauss: James, the second-longest winning streak in history, is still ongoing, and with this achievement, it will be difficult for others to shake James's status.

Tom Sunnygreen: James, Durant, and Tall may be better scorers, but in comparison, James is more balanced, and the Heat are more impressive.

……

Obviously, in this consultation of the ESPN expert group, LeBron James, the "first person in the league", gained an undoubted advantage, and for a while LeBron James seemed to have become the "only" candidate for this season's MVP.

As if to prove this argument, the NBA's official website also announced the latest edition of the MVP list, and the result was that LeBron James, who had led the Miami Heat to 24 consecutive wins, led without suspense.

1. LeBron James (Miami Heat)

Last week: 28.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game

When the Miami Heat trailed the Cavaliers by 27 points, they pinned their hopes of extending the winning streak on James, who also lived up to expectations and dominated the fourth quarter, contributing 25 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to help the team complete a big comeback, and the winning streak also extended to 24 games.

He averaged almost a triple-double in last week's game and was the biggest contributor to the Miami Heat's winning streak.

2. Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)

Last week: 30.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game

Durant contributed 34 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists against the Nuggets, and he scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists against the Grizzlies, but the Oklahoma City Thunder suffered two consecutive defeats.

Durant has been a consistent performer in every game, but the Thunder have a 2-5 record in their last seven games against Western Conference playoff teams. This obviously affects his ranking.

3. Tall and strong (Brooklyn Nets)

Last week: 19.5 points, 7.25 rebounds and 9 assists per game

Last week, he averaged less than 20 points per game, but he played a different style, contributing 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against the New Orleans Hornets for his first triple-double. Prior to his injury, he led the Brooklyn Nets to four straight wins, and despite his low individual scores, he was in complete control of the team and seemed to be running better. After Gao Dazhuang was sidelined due to injury, the Brooklyn Nets, who were in the limelight, suffered a Waterloo-style two-game losing streak. This also reflects the impact of being tall and strong on this Nets team.

In a word. As a rookie who has just entered the league, it is a miracle that Tall and Strong is in this position.

4. Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers)

Last week: 27.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game

Kobe Bryant may not have recovered from his injury, but as the league's most competitive player, he no longer wants to miss a game.

Now is the pivotal moment for the Los Angeles Lakers to make a run for the playoffs. It's also when Kobe Bryant stepped up. And he continues to catch up with Kevin Durant, Tall and Strong, and Carmelo Anthony in the scoring charts.

5. Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)

Last week: 17.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game

Wade's score has dropped recently. His shooting percentage was the same, as he shot 11-of-26 from the field in the win over the Celtics and Cavaliers.

Playing against the Pistons could be his chance. He scored 29 points on 60 percent shooting in the last meeting, and the Heat will be on a 25-game winning streak.

……

The Miami Heat, who are in first place in the East, are continuing their winning streak, while the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks, who are second in the East, have lost in unison.

The Brooklyn Nets lost by five points on the road to the Denver Nuggets, led by former Nets player Brook Lopez.

Brook Lopez showed no mercy in the face of the "old master", cutting a game-high 28 points and seven rebounds.

The Nets' highest scorer was Kawhai Leonard, who contributed a "double-double" of 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Deron Williams played 31 minutes, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, but his shooting percentage was still not high.

The Brooklyn Nets suffered a three-game losing streak on the road trip to the West, while the New York Knicks suffered even worse, losing five in a row at home to the Oklahoma City Thunder by 20 points.

The two teams in New York City are simply "difficult brothers", but neither of them laughs at anyone's capital.

Just when Brooklyn fans were anxiously watching the team's "Western Expedition", the Nets' official website updated a few pictures, the picture is that the team's core guard Gao Dazhuang finished his rest and began recovery training, and the website said that Gao Dazhuang will have the opportunity to play in the next game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

"He's still a little stiff in his ankle and he can still feel some soreness, but that's expected, it's not a big problem, and I think he's going to play," a reporter interviewed Nets general manager Billie King about the issue, and Billy King said.

Gao Dazhuang's foot injury looks to have healed, because the next morning, Gao Dazhuang even made a guest appearance at New York's JFK International Airport on the airline's ground staff, and his appearance also made many passengers on the flight at that time very happy.

This was just one of the team's public relations activities, in which the core of the team became a Delta Airways employee and participated in a number of tasks, including checking passengers at the check-in counter, checking at the gate, and announcing boarding information for Flight 1553 to Portland via radio.

"I'm a member of Delta Airlines, and they're the official partner airline of the Brooklyn Nets," said a tall voice over the airport's radio.

"It's really a good experience to be able to appear at the airport in this capacity," said the tall and strong man with a smile in the face of the accompanying reporters.

Later, Gao Dazhuang also told reporters about the team's situation: "Delong's return from injury is really good, my foot injury has also improved, we are gradually getting rid of the injury, and the whole team is very united, the team atmosphere is very good"

Talking about the 24-game winning streak of the Miami Heat, who are the favorites in the East, Gao Dazhuang also said helplessly: "I don't want them to break the record, but those guys turned around a 27-point deficit in the last game, which is amazing, really impressive, they have been really good this season, but their performance makes me look forward to colliding with them in the playoffs."

After an interview with reporters, the tall and strong team assistant coach PJ Callesimo, the team doctor Riley Williams, and the personal coach Tim Leesimo and the accompanying team assistant coach PJ Kalesimo. Grover boarded Flight 1553 to Portland. (To be continued......)
