Chapter 391: Three Points of Rain
In the first offense at the beginning of the game, after entering the restricted area, Gao Dazhuang dodged the block of defender Anthony Davis under the basket, distributed the ball to the outside, and assisted Kawhai Leonard to hit a three-point shot.
In the first quarter of the game, 5 minutes and 11 seconds, the tall and strong sideways dodged the defender Vasquis, and then took two big steps, stepped on the reasonable collision zone line and jumped, folded and jumped in the bag of the Hornets interior players Robin Lopez and Anthony Davis, used super stagnation and good power to score the ball, and caused Anthony Davis's defensive foul, completing a 2+1!
At 9 minutes and 52 seconds in the second quarter, the Nets' starting power forward Faried played a block and split with Gao Dazhuang, and passed the ball back to Gao Dazhuang in time.
The tall man leaned back to catch the ball, pulled the whole person from the ground, and calmly pushed the ball out in front of the long arms of Anthony Davis who flew over.
With a "brush" sound, the tall and strong half-volley hit.
These are the only three opportunities for Anthony Davis to directly face off against Tall Da Zhuang in the whole game, but these three offensive and defensive battles also confirm the ranking of the two in the rookie list and various rankings, and Gao Da Zhuang easily scored three goals in front of Anthony Davis.
Despite being injured in the last game, Anthony Davis insisted on playing in this match between "Champion" and "Tanhua", hoping to use his performance on the court to make a name for himself.
But the reality is cruel, and Anthony Davis today not only had an all-round disadvantage against the tall and strong, but also left the game again in the middle of the third quarter due to injury. In the end, he only played 24 minutes and scored only 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.
The New Orleans Hornets also quickly disarmed, with only three Hornets players in double figures, Eric Gordon with 20 points, five rebounds and five assists, Robin Lopez with 17 points and eight rebounds, and Grevis Vasquith with 14 points, four rebounds and three assists.
In the end, in this NBA regular season, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the New Orleans Hornets with a score of 130-96 away.
The biggest focus of this game was that in this one-sided game, the Brooklyn Nets shot 23 of 40 three-pointers, setting a new team history of 17 goals. It also tied the league's all-time record for single-game three-pointers.
Coincidentally. Perhaps influenced by the last game of being tall and strong and making 11 three-pointers in a single game, today's Nets have a very distinct style of play, which is to keep accelerating and playing fast-paced, paying attention to the speed of offensive and defensive transitions and the quality of counterattack.
This unrestrained and wild style of play was on display in the first quarter of the game.
The game has just begun. Kawhai Leonard opened the scoring for Brooklyn with a three-pointer. Then the tall and strong also tried his hand at the knife. Hit a three-pointer.
If the Nets were relatively restrained in the first half, then in the second half of the quarter, the Nets completely released their firepower: 5 three-pointers in 6 minutes. In the last 30 seconds, he hit two three-pointers in a row.
In the final 30 seconds, Gao Dazhuang first broke through the Hornets defense head-on at the top of the three-point line, assisted Kawhey Leonard for a three-pointer, and then assisted Jerry Starhouse for a three-pointer on a quick counterattack.
7 three-pointers in a single quarter!
34:23
The Brooklyn Nets, playing on the road, took an 11-point lead in the first quarter.
7 three-pointers, this number is really good, but it is not very against the sky, after all, in 2007, the Nets have had a single quarter of 8 three-pointers against the sky.
However, today, the Nets' hands were obviously on fire, and after scoring 7 three-pointers in the first quarter, the Nets soared three points again in the second quarter!
After the start of the second quarter, the Nets began to rotate the lineup in a large area, with Coach Johnson replacing Kaulvay Leonard with Kyle Korver, Lance Stephenson for Tall Strong, Gerard Wallace for Kenneth Faried, and Chris Anderson for Marcin Gortat.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets played a "small lineup", and the first to contribute to the Nets was Lance Stephenson, who hit a three-point pull-up shot at the top of the three-point arc without warning, continuing the Nets' firepower in the first quarter.
After the three-point victory, Lance Stephenson was extremely excited, and even the celebration gesture was exactly the same as that of Gao Dazhuang, and he frequently nodded to Gao Dazhuang on the bench.
It seems that Stephenson has been pestering Tall and Strong to learn shooting skills in recent days, and it is not without gains.
Kyle Korver and Gerald Wallace then hit back-to-back three-pointers in the game, bringing the Nets' three-point tally to 10 in this game.
At the end of the second quarter, the tall man returned to the court, replacing Jerry Starkerhouse, the team's starting point guard.
After being tall and strong, Brooklyn's offense and defense were faster and faster, especially with his breakaways that made the most of Kyle Korver's outside ability.
In just three minutes, Kyle Korver hit three three-pointers in a row, two of which came from tall and strong assists.
In the end, Gao Dazhuang singled the opposing guard Vasquith near the free throw line, and made a retreat jumper after a false shake, and with a "brush", Gao Dazhuang shot the 14th three-pointer of the Brooklyn Nets in this game.
71:49
By halftime, the Brooklyn Nets had extended their lead to 22 points.
And the Brooklyn Nets' 14 three-pointers in the half of the game are already phenomenal performances, and they also give people hope of breaking the team record.
The Nets' all-time three-point record isn't outrageous: 17.
The Nets have previously achieved this feat twice in '97 against the Toronto Raptors and '03 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
With 14 three-pointers in the half, just three goals off that record, it's clear that it's not a difficult task.
Sure enough, less than 2 minutes into the third quarter, Gao Dazhuang ran outside the three-point line in the bottom corner under the cover of his teammates and shot again.
With a "brush", Gao Dazhuang threw in the 15th three-pointer of the game.
1 minute later. Lance Stephenson also hit a three-pointer from almost the same position after receiving consecutive passes from the Nets.
16 three-pointers, which was just one shot away from the Nets' all-time record.
Just when the Brooklyn Nets began to frequently need to find opportunities to shoot three-pointers, the opposing New Orleans Hornets also predicted the Nets' thoughts and began to strengthen their outside pressing.
Over the next six minutes, the Brooklyn Nets attempted five shots from beyond the three-point line, all of which bounced off the Hornets' tough defense, including two from the tall man.
With a "beep", the Brooklyn Nets, who led by 20 points, called a timeout, and it was clear that Coach Johnson was dissatisfied with the players' attachment to the team's record.
After the suspension ends. The Nets have really shifted their offensive thinking. Two consecutive breakthroughs from Gao Dazhuang and Lance Stephenson successfully cemented the team's lead.
With 10 minutes and 15 seconds left in the third quarter, the tall man made a pick-and-roll cover for Lance Stephenson at a 45-degree angle on the wing. Stephenson got out of defense and got into the Hornets.
However, Stephenson, who plunged headlong into the Hornets' interior line, was soon surrounded by the opponent's contraction. Still, Stephenson relied on his great power and explosiveness. Smoothly passed the ball.
The "snap" ball was passed to the hands of the tall Zhuang on the outside, and the tall and strong after receiving the ball took a continuous crotch dribble, and the whole person kept moving outside the three-point line.
"Not good" Standing in front of the tall and strong at this time is none other than Eric Gordon, the Hornets' misplaced point guard. I saw Gordon take a sharp step forward and pounce on the tall man.
Although he predicted the movement of the tall and strong, the tall and strong who had moved outside the three-point line did not hesitate, completely ignoring the defense of Gordon, who is only 1.92 meters tall, and directly pulled out his shot.
After a series of baptisms in the All-Star Game, Tall and Strong is full of confidence in his offense, and although he often organizes his teammates to attack, he is more used to being a finisher.
Kick the leg to exert force, raise the elbow, extend the arm, bend the wrist forward, and shoot again from outside the three-point line.
With a "brush", this time the basketball did not disappoint him and accurately passed through the center of the net.
17 three-pointers! With the tall three-point shot, the Brooklyn Nets have tied their previous three-point shooting record.
However, instead of yelling in excitement, he made a few gestures to signal his teammates to restrain and keep going, and his goal was not just to tie the record.
Sure enough, with 15 seconds left in the third quarter, Lance Stephenson's aggressive scramble saw Hornets point guard Eric Gordon make a mistake and Stephenson made a steal.
Kenneth Faried then made a powerful pass to Kawhai Leonard, who was galloping forward, and Leonard leaped high to catch the ball, but the ball remained in his hands for a short moment.
Kawhai Leonard made an almost "volleyball" move, transitioning the ball in the air to the tall stout who followed closely behind him.
At this moment, the defender closest to Gao Dazhuang is also one meter away, and Gao Dazhuang will certainly not let go of this opportunity and make a decisive shot.
All the Nets players watched the basketball fly to the basket, and with a "brush", an exciting sound, the tall and strong three-pointer accurately passed through the center of the net.
The Brooklyn Nets' 18th three-pointer of the game! They broke the team's record of 10 years of lockdown.
"YES" At this time, the young players of the Nets, including the tall and strong, all shouted excitedly, and even Coach Johnson, who had maintained a dignified appearance on the sidelines, smiled.
97:70
After taking a big lead and breaking the all-time three-point shooting record, the Nets removed all of their starters.
But I didn't expect the substitute players to be "careful", and it was obvious that the three-point record just broken stimulated these young players, and they played more seriously on the court.
Lance Stephenson and Kyle Korver actually scored consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter, bringing the Nets' three-point shooting tally in the game to 20.
After being driven into 20 three-pointers, the New Orleans Hornets' residual blood was fully activated, and they sent eight fouls in quick succession in the next seven minutes in an attempt to block the Brooklyn Nets players who were shooting three-pointers with their lives.
The team's big lead also turned a blind eye to the near-"crazy" three-point shooting of Lance Stephenson and Kyle Korver on the court.
At 7 minutes and 17 seconds in the fourth quarter, Nets backup point guard CJ Watson hit an open three-pointer and made 21 three-pointers!
At 9:06 in the fourth quarter, Kyle Korver hit a three-pointer on the counterattack and hit 22 three-pointers!
At 10 minutes and 48 seconds in the fourth quarter, Lance Stephenson forced a breakthrough to the basket, faced the three-man bag, twisted and used his left hand to distribute the ball from the top of his head to the right baseline, Kyle Korver stiffened his neck and scored the 23rd three-pointer of the game!
It also tied the NBA's single-game three-point record — a feat set by the Orlando Magic against the Sacramento Kings in 2009 (23-of-37 shooting), the only one since the NBA's inception.
With a minute remaining, Lance Stephenson also hit a three-pointer, but sadly, the ball bounced off the basket.
Stephenson, who missed, sat on the floor of the arena in an exaggerated manner.
130:96
The Brooklyn Nets bloodied the New Orleans Hornets at home!
A three-point record, a season-high scoring record, and while the Nets were just one three-pointer away from a perfect game, it was already quite a spectacular game.
The way of heaven is to make up for the shortcomings with more than losses, and this little deficiency of the Nets is also another kind of perfection. (To be continued......)
PS: Business trips, business trips, I hate business trips! The main reason is that the manuscript has not been saved.
Today the Lakers lost badly, despite Kobe Bryant's 44 points, sad and helpless Kobe.
