After the game, Gao Dazhuang refused any interview with reporters, and after coming out of the locker room, he was escorted by the staff and directly boarded the team bus, in this case, Nets head coach Johnson was inevitably surrounded by reporters.

"Actually, every player has their own rhythm, of course, there will be ups and downs in this state, and the reason why superstars are strong is that they can maintain this rhythm for a long time, like young players, this ups and downs will be more violent" Regarding Gao Dazhuang's performance today, Coach Johnson still maintains considerable confidence: "It is normal for Gao Dazhuang's state to fluctuate, you must know that he has played a total of 30 games in the NBA, and he has just integrated into this team, Like some strong players like Duncan and Parker, they have also grown up after years of training."

Finally, Coach Johnson also emphasized to reporters: "Gao is a very talented player, as long as he is given enough time, he will eventually show his quality".

Although Gao Dazhuang did not play well in this game and was sent off, the Spurs still gave Gao Da Zhuang a very high evaluation.

Spurs coach Popovich said: "Tall and strong is a very good player and I find it very important that he always has confidence in himself in the game."

Ginobili responded to reporters: "Did he play poorly? A rookie scored 19 points, which I think is pretty good, and you don't forget, he's still a rookie......"

At the post-game press conference, Duncan also smiled and said, "His rookie season was better than mine," which came out of Duncan's mouth. It's enough to prove his recognition of being tall and strong, and Duncan is already the cornerstone of the team in his rookie season.

On the day of the game, many media also commented on the game, and it was a big shame that Brooklyn lost a key battle and did not consistently prove their ability to fight against the giants.

But at the same time, the Nets have also gained a clean harvest, ten consecutive wins, which is glory and pressure. Now this "cross of honor" has been removed. The Nets may be able to play more attentively.

The media and fans agreed that the Nets' loss to the Spurs was not an accident, there was a gap between the two teams in terms of strength, and the Nets without Delon and Lopez were not a "giant" team.

In fact, the schedule of this Western Conference trip is a great test for the Nets, and even many optimistic fans believe that the Nets can win one game as long as they can succeed.

Because after playing the Spurs. The Brooklyn Nets' next opponents are the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It's an unfortunate schedule. After a crushing defeat to the Spurs. The Brooklyn Nets don't have time to heal their wounds, and the next day they will face the Los Angeles Clippers, who are currently at the top of the league.

After another 107-96 win over the Utah Jazz, the Clippers extended their winning streak to 17 games. Tied for 12th place in the all-time rankings.

They also went 16-0 in December, making the Clippers the third team in history to go 16-0 in a single month, following the Los Angeles Lakers in 1971-72 and the Spurs in 1995-96.

To this end, TNT even made a special program, and invited Charles Barkley, Stephen Smith, Shaq O'Neal and other well-known commentators and many columnists and well-known commentators to participate, the name of the program is "Who Can Sink the Clippers?" ”

In fact, not only fans, but even many giant teams in the NBA are waiting for this answer, looking forward to the early appearance of the team that "sank" the Clippers.

The show begins with a look back at the Clippers' previous win over the Jazz, but Salt Lake City was once the Clippers' favorite place, where they suffered a 16-game losing streak and didn't taste victory until last season.

Even if they met here for the first time this season, the Clippers only won by one point against the "Super Snake", and this time the Jazz were bent on revenge, and the Jazz led by 19 points at most throughout the game.

However, Paul, who scored 31 points, and Griffin, who scored 30 points, teamed up in the second half to launch a Jedi counterattack, and finally successfully completed the comeback.

Interestingly, the Jazz's Randy Foye was once again the hero of tragedy in this game, and the last time the two teams met, the buddy missed a last-second three-pointer, giving the Jazz their first home defeat of the season.

After the game, Foye sighed: "I hope there are 3 seconds, that's enough", I didn't expect that he really got 3 seconds in this game, but the envisioned perfect redemption did not happen, and after he missed the last shot, the Jazz completed the Clippers' 17-game winning streak.

When Paul and Griffin teamed up to make this second-rate team in Los Angeles the league's king and ranked first in the league, all that was left was doubt.

"Who will be the team that will stop the Clippers' winning streak?" O'Neill exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.

"It's definitely not Brooklyn," Barkley on the side immediately answered.

"Why not? Tall and strong will kill them with 42 shots" O'Neal immediately said unconvinced, after the last Christmas fight, O'Neill had told the media that he was already a fan of Tall and Strong.

"Because they lost to the Spurs by 36 points, because Tall was sent off in the third quarter," Buck said slowly in a quirky tone.

"I also don't think the Nets are enough to end the Clippers' winning streak" Just as O'Neal was about to argue with Barkley, another well-known commentator, Stephen Smith, interrupted their argument, "The current Clippers team has gradually matured, the previous 15 consecutive wins, the Clippers averaged 15 points per game, and in most of the games, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin did not even play in the fourth quarter."

"There's nothing to brag about when it's good times, and in the last game in Salt Lake City, the Clippers were still in such a difficult situation. Winning the game in the end is what a super strong team should have, so the next game of the Clippers against the Nets, or even the next game against the Nuggets, I am optimistic about the Clippers," Stephen Smith continued.

"Oh? Then you mean that the Lakers have a chance to finish the Clippers, you know, after the Clippers play the Nets and the Nuggets, the third opponent is the Lakers," Barkley asked with interest.

"Yes, the Lakers have been in a bad situation lately, but when they find the chemistry they deserve, they can beat any team in the league. And don't forget. Kobe Bryant has been in great form lately," Stephen Smith responded immediately.

"But yesterday when ESPN interviewed Kobe Bryant, I asked him, 'Do you want the Clippers to keep winning so you can beat them on Friday?' Bryant's answer was 'I don't fucking care'. It seems that Kobe Bryant is not confident. Haha," Barkley laughed.

"Shaq. You know Kobe Bryant best, and you know he's a man who doesn't give in easily" After being ridiculed by Barkley, Smith turned to O'Neal for help.

"Kobe and I don't know each other," but O'Neal's answer made the studio burst into laughter......

"Stephen. Can you make a bold prediction about this year's championship? At the end of the show, Barkley threw a championship question at Smith.

Stephen Smith thought for a moment and said, "If you ask me to make a regular prediction, then I would be very conservative and say that the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder will meet again in this year's Finals, but since you asked me to make a bold prediction, well, I want to say the Los Angeles Clippers, it's the Clippers, they're going to win the NBA championship!" Yes, this prediction is a bold one, but it is not a very secure one! ”

Although Smith is not very confident, he is still the first American professional media expert to predict that the Clippers will win the championship.

After the show, Smith also said in an interview with "Hoop World": "This prediction is because I believe that the Clippers definitely have a good chance to win the NBA championship, and the reason why I hesitate is because the free throw percentages of Griffin and Jordan make me a little unconfident, and in addition, their performance is perfect, and the ability of outside shooting, defense, blocking, and point guard ...... Even the head coach, I think it's great, Nigro did a great job, he deserves everyone's praise, well, take a step back and say, the Los Angeles Clippers are going to be the favourites, the favourites to win the championship."

……

The demoralized Brooklyn Nets, who have now suffered a heavy defeat to the Spurs, have arrived in Los Angeles, but no one thinks they have a chance to "steal" a win from the "sky-high" Los Angeles Clippers.

After a lapse of two months, Gao Dazhuang came to the Staples Center arena again, but last time Gao Dazhuang came with the Rockets as a substitute, and their opponent was the Lakers with the "Big Four".

And this time, Gao Dazhuang is the core player of the team to challenge the Los Angeles Clippers who have won 17 consecutive games, with "the league's No. 1 point guard" Chris Paul and "the league's No. 1 dunk player" Blake Griffin.

The Lakers' purple and gold symbol has faded, and posters of the "City of the Air" can be seen everywhere - the Clippers have been known as the "City of the Air" this season, and the flashy style of play is certainly a factor, and a more important reason is that the Clippers have too many points from the air relay.

Dunk Griffin and Jordan, under Paul's threading of the needle, almost turned the game into an "air raid", with such a passionate performance, the Clippers immediately became the new favorites of the fans.

Since the Clippers settled in Los Angeles, the Clippers never imagined that one day they would be able to look at the Lakers, and when the New Year came, they finally had a capital comparable to the rivals of the Lakers.

At the start of the season, Matt? Barnes, Ramall? Odom returns to the Clippers, Grant? Hill, Willy? Green, Super Sixth Man "Jamal? The addition of Crawford and others instantly elevated the Clippers' bench to the top level of the league.

Griffin and Jordan also trained hard in the summer in the face of criticism from the outside world, Paul still firmly occupied the "top spot" of the No. 1 position, and when the Lakers, Nets, Heat and other teams attracted the attention of the media, the Clippers were low-key reinforcements and successfully became a first-class team.

Now the Clippers have become the strongest Clippers in team history, whether it is offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency, or bench scoring, steals, opponent turnovers and many other aspects of the Clippers are at the forefront of the league.

At this time, the "City of Empty Connection" is looking down on the entire alliance! They're ready to shred the Brooklyn Nets. (To be continued......)

PS: I hope the brothers will support you a lot!
