NBA's King of Talking

Jia Fei returned home and lay in bed reflecting on his performance that day. To be honest, he hadn't expected to be in such good form; he seemed to have a knack for shooting from the start. If he had played more, he might have had even better stats.

But so what? It's just garbage time after all, and apart from him, very few people will even remember it. Hoping to gain the head coach's favor and a spot in the rotation by dominating during garbage time is just wishful thinking.

On the other hand, a good performance is better than a bad one. Being a star player and key player during garbage time has the positive effect of giving him an advantage in rankings among bench players when injuries occur during rotations or when the team has a large number of players resting.

He can't afford to miss any opportunity to get into the rotation, since he started from a low point!

By the way, the task should be completed by now!

Jia Fei suddenly remembered this matter, which was even more important than his 100% hit rate during garbage time tonight. He immediately entered the system interface and began to check the task list.

He has completed two of the four tasks he accepted in the task list: "Play in an NBA regular season game" and "According to statistics in an NBA regular season game".

Jia Fei was very happy and immediately claimed the reward, which was 2000 points.

He's starting to understand the reward rules of this task system. Normal tasks usually reward 1000 points, while more difficult tasks reward more.

After earning 2000 points, he now has a total of 2399 points in his account. He immediately redeemed his points, and after using 2000 points, his "Iverson Peak Skill Integration" increased from 5% to 7%!

Jia Fei was excited. He had finally reached 7%, getting closer and closer to 10%, and one step closer to 100%. He thought that once he reached 10%, he might be able to use some of Allen Iverson's signature moves. Even if the effect was only so-so, it would still help his skills to some extent.

After completing two tasks, Jia Fei currently has three ongoing tasks in his task list: one is "to achieve a double-double", the second is "to participate in the NBA All-Star Game", and the third is "to start in an NBA regular season game".

These three tasks seem impossible to complete in the short term, but he is not discouraged. He believes that as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely be able to complete them in the future!

After giving himself a pep talk, Jia Fei eagerly checked his task list again, wondering if he could take on some more tasks. It didn't matter if he couldn't complete them immediately; he'd just accept them first. He'd finish them eventually anyway, and missing out on opportunities would be a huge loss.

He suddenly remembered the somewhat greedy yellow and blue mice, who would take on many orders at once and then deliver them slowly...

The task list was a little different from the last time he checked it. This time, there was a task he hadn't seen before, called "Start in an NBA regular season game".

Jia Fei accepted the task immediately, even though it would take a long time to complete.

On the morning of the second day, Jia Fei got up very early. They needed to take a plane to Houston that day for a rematch with the Rockets.

This back-to-back game against the same team is a major feature of this season, and its purpose is to improve efficiency, but it just seems a bit strange.

On his way to join the team, Jia Fei received calls from his former roommate Jeremy Lamb and former head coach Jim Cahon.

Both of them expressed their amazement on the phone and encouraged him to keep up the good work.

Jia Fei felt quite warm after receiving the two phone calls. Kangda is like a big family, where everyone cares for and loves each other, and everyone cherishes the good old days.

I wish everyone a bright future!

On the evening of December 8, the Thunder played a back-to-back game against the Rockets at the Toyota Center in Houston.

After being thrashed by the Thunder's benchwarmer in the last game, the Rockets felt quite humiliated. Now, back at home, even though their roster is inferior to their opponents on paper, they are determined to avenge their defeat.

The match turned into a physical battle from the very beginning, with a high level of overall defensive intensity, which resulted in low offensive efficiency for both sides and frequent missed shots.

With the score close, there was no garbage time, so Jia Fei naturally had no chance to play. He was absolutely right; even though he played so perfectly in the last game, the team's rotation remained unchanged.

Ultimately, the Thunder narrowly defeated their opponents thanks to their superior strength, achieving a home-and-away double victory over the Rockets and securing their second consecutive win.

After their game against the Rockets, the Thunder immediately returned to Oklahoma City, where they will host the Spurs the following evening.

These back-to-back games are exhausting, not only for the players but also for the fans watching on TV.

Jia Fei was alright; he didn't play any games, he just traveled around with the team by plane.

On the evening of September 11th, the Thunder narrowly defeated the Spurs at home, securing their third consecutive win. Their next game is an away game against the Grizzlies on the 11th.

Jia Fei hasn't played since he came on during garbage time against the Rockets on the 7th. Reggie Jackson is the same. There's no way around it; ideals are ideals, and reality is reality. If wishful thinking were useful, Jordan would have been surpassed by countless people long ago, and even Antarctica would belong to South Korea.

On January 11, the Thunder visited Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies. This was their second time playing here this season, and only half a month had passed since their last game here.

In this game, the Thunder narrowly defeated their opponent again, achieving their fourth consecutive victory.

After the game, they set off again, this time heading to Charlotte in the East to face the Bobcats.

Although Jia Fei didn't get a chance to play, he was happy because he would see his old teammate Kemba Walker.

Unfortunately, due to the back-to-back games and tight schedule, he didn't have much time to visit Kemba Walker's house.

On the evening of the 12th, the Bobcats will host the Thunder at their home arena, the Time Warner Center.

两队的战绩有明显的差距，雷霆目前以9胜2负的战绩排名西部第2，而山猫则是3胜6负排名东部第11位。

During pre-game practice, Jia Fei finally saw Kemba Walker again after two months.

The two embraced warmly upon meeting.

"Jia, you've gotten stronger!" Kemba Walker punched Jia Fei in the chest with his little fist.

Faced with his old friend's cheesy remarks, Jia Fei replied seriously, "Living alone, all I do is work out muscles!"

"You should find a girlfriend!" Kemba Walker said with the wisdom of an older brother.

"Forget it, women will only slow me down when I draw my gun. I'm fine on my own now!" Jia Fei said with a straight face, spouting nonsense.
