Due to being banned by the league, Gao Dazhuang watched the Brooklyn Nets host the Pistons for the first time as an "outsider" in civilian clothes.

The Nets, who lost their tall and stout, didn't seem to be too affected in the opening game, putting together a perfect opening performance, hitting all nine of their first nine shots.

It was their best start since 2008 and the most consecutive hits in an NBA season this season.

In the first quarter, the Nets led by 10 points.

However, in the next game, the Nets, who lacked the top scorer, became more and more weak in attack, and the Pistons gradually chased the score closer, and the two sides tied after halftime.

However, the third quarter was again dramatic.

Nets starting center Brook Lopez was replaced by coach Johnson with 5:50 left in the third quarter after failing to execute head coach Johnson's tactical intentions on two consecutive offenses.

Lopez seemed unhappy with the manager's decision to make a substitution, yelling at Johnson twice before walking back to the dressing room.

The Pistons, on the other hand, took the opportunity to unleash a 10-0 offensive wave to turn the tide and turn the score to 70-63 at the end of the third quarter.

Although Lopez returned in the fourth quarter and played well on the offensive end, the Nets couldn't stop the Pistons' Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond's double-high inside.

In particular, the Pistons Drummond swept the Nets interior in the fourth quarter, grabbing nine rebounds in a single quarter. He also contributed 20 rebounds in the game.

89：84

In the end, the Brooklyn Nets lost to the Detroit Pistons who came to challenge them.

After the game, the media paid more attention to the "conflict", but Coach Johnson talked about Lopez's excesses, saying that there was nothing in fact, but the two had a disagreement at that time, and the bloody Lopez was just impulsively talking back to him.

"There's no doubt that he was frustrated, he's the kind of guy who gets emotional," Coach Johnson said at the press conference, "I just wanted to calm him down. Nothing. And he just needs to stabilize his emotions, nothing happens, whether it's me or him or the rest of the team."

"Our team is a bit of an emotional team and the players are always playing with a strong desire to win. It's also about putting all the players together as a team. It's a big part of what we've been growing lately," Nets general manager Billy King said on the sidelines.

"It's just a disagreement," he said of his skirmish with the manager. Lopez, who had 26 points and five rebounds, said, "It's a basketball game, and everyone on the team has different emotions. It is normal for opinions to differ, and this is not the first time and will not be the last".

As for how to resolve disputes after they arise, Lopez said that the Nets are a team that knows how to put differences on the table and resolve them, and this situation will certainly not be for long.

……

The next day, when the Brooklyn Nets were actively preparing for the home game against the San Antonio Spurs, the tall and strong but unexpectedly appeared at New York's JFK Airport.

"Hey, here" Gao Dazhuang waved his hands excitedly, and at this time, the two Oriental girls also had bright eyes and walked over quickly towards Gao Dazhuang.

"Da Zhuang" and "Brother" said in an intimate voice, and Gao Dazhuang picked up his girlfriend Xia and his sister Gao Jiaxiu who came from China at the airport.

Now it is the school holiday, and Gao Dazhuang has already established himself in New York, so he naturally hopes that his family can come to see it, but the two old men stayed in China after careful consideration, so they sent two girls to "investigate".

Coincidentally, Gao Dazhuang, who was banned from the league for two games, could use this extra "vacation" to accompany them.

"Why do you wear a big mask, is there a lot of smog in New York?" It was his tall and strong girlfriend Summer, who spoke, with capable short hair and big eyes, and despite wearing a heavy down jacket, her height of 1.7 meters still made her look very slender.

"Shhhh

"You stink, but you are a hot mess in China now, my brother said that you are now the symbol of Chinese basketball," Xia said proudly.

"Well, the eldest brother told the truth" Gao Dazhuang immediately nodded without discipline, and as soon as Gao Dazhuang's words were finished, he was immediately blinded by Summer.

"Let's go, take you around New York" Gao Dazhuang touched his sister Gao Jiaxiu's head very caringly, his sister had been to the county town very little, and now it was time for this brother to take on his own responsibilities.

After more than an hour's journey, Gao Dazhuang drove his Hummer back to his apartment in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Summer and Ko were immediately mesmerized by the sophisticated design of one of New York's most distinctive and desirable high-end residential buildings and apartments.

"Look, Jiaxiu, this is the Manhattan Bridge" Xia happily pointed to the Manhattan Bridge and said to Gao Jiaxiu, their eyes full of excitement.

"Let's go, let's go to Manhattan for dinner today" Gao Dazhuang put down the luggage of the two of them, waved his big hand, and the group set off again.

Manhattan is a long and narrow island in the north-south direction, long in the north-south direction, short in the east-west direction, separated by a water in Queens on the east side, this water is called the East River, the west side and New Jersey are across the Hudson River, the southeast direction is Staten Island, and the huge statue given to New York by the French - the Statue of Liberty is located in the southwest of Manhattan.

The streets of Manhattan can be described as horizontal and vertical, the short east-west road is called Street, from the first street in the south to the north, the long street in the north-south direction is called the avenue, from the first Avenue on the east side to the 12th Avenue in the west, the most famous of which is the Fifth Avenue, and this is also the destination of their trip today.

After a forty-minute drive, Gao Dazhuang and his party finally arrived at the famous Fifth Avenue in New York.

Carrie, the heroine of Sex and the City, walks around Fifth Avenue in JimmingChoo heels, where she spends her money on gold, because this historic, world-famous street is home to some of the world's best luxury brands.

Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany, Cartier, Gucci, Versace, Chanel, Escada and many more can be found on Fifth Avenue.

On this street, you can indulge in the beauty of the material, but you can also override the material, the strange windows on Fifth Avenue are also ingenious, even if you have no interest in luxury brands, even if you don't spend a penny, you can walk into these world's top brands, and your eyes can collect a lot of beautiful pictures and feel the material expression of New York.

Summer and Gao Jiaxiu were also immediately attracted by the bustling Fifth Avenue, to be honest, after coming to the United States, although they have been to Fifth Avenue several times, Gao Dazhuang has not really leisurely shopped.

The Fifth Avenue LV store is the world's largest flagship store, and the glass façade of this New York building is inspired by the Damier checkerboard pattern, and at night, the glass lattice lights up like a street lamp flickering in the fog.

"Buy one?" As an NBA player, Tall and Strong has also stepped into the ranks of "rich".

"Don't, cheesy" is Summer's voice, and this conversation has been repeated many times, and every time Tall and Strong wants to buy something for Summer and her sister, she always finds all kinds of reasons to prevaricate.

After a leisurely stroll down Fifth Avenue throughout the evening, they went to Keens, the oldest restaurant that evokes the nostalgia of old New York, with its black wood paneling, paintings, and ceiling with thousands of clay tubes, and after a sumptuous dinner, they went to the Stumptown Café at the Ace Hotel for a delicious cup of coffee.

But throughout the night, in addition to buying some worthless small toys, the most expensive gifts given by Gao Dazhuang were a few "Apple" series products.

This is still the case when the "Apple" flagship store located underground has attracted Gao Jiaxiu's attention.

The giant glass cube of Apple announces that Apple's flagship store is open all year round, and Apple fans from all over the world are waiting for the latest products from Mac, iPod and iPhone.

Looking at the yearning eyes of Xia and Gao Jiaxiu, Gao Dazhuang decisively paid immediately and quickly bought a few of Apple's latest products.

The next day, Gao Dazhuang took Xia and Gao Jiaxiu to New York's Central Park, and then visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, and so on.

While enjoying himself with his loved ones, Gao Dazhuang suddenly felt that the unexpected ban of the alliance was not necessarily a bad thing, so Gao Dazhuang relaxed and enjoyed this rare "vacation". (To be continued......)
