NBA's King of Talking

Jia Fei knew the reason, of course. Harden was a guard, but he was very heavy, and he had a big butt and incredibly strong lower body. This guy was afraid of fast, short guys, not strong, muscular men.

Clark couldn't move Harden, so he passed the ball to Duhon on the outside!

Duhon scores another point with Redick!

Redick received the ball without adjusting at all, and the shot clock didn't allow him to adjust anymore. Like a sniper god in CS, he immediately fired a "flash shot"!

Such a swift shot demonstrates the confidence of a god-level marksman. Many people might think this is just "randomly shooting," but for a sharpshooter, it's standard practice.

But... Jia Fei wouldn't allow such an arrogant person to exist!

With a ghostly wave of his hand, Jia Fei blocked Redd's quick-scope shot!

The 24-second countdown ended the moment the ball went out of bounds!

"Yeah—" Jia Fei cheered, clenching his fist, and Reggie excitedly came up to give him a high five.

“That was a beautiful block!” Reggie said.

"Absolutely!" Jia Fei appeared very calm; this was standard procedure! He had been lying in ambush all along, just waiting for this moment to make a move.

"He fouled me! He hit my hand!" Redick complained to the referee that Jia Fei's block was a three-point foul!

Jia Fei's anger subsided. Redick, like many people who can't accept defeat on the streetball court, would say the other side fouled when he got blocked, but would say he didn't do anything when he committed a foul. He would call a traveling violation a normal three-step layup and an offensive foul a defensive foul.

It's a classic case of being a sore loser.

"Go back to defense, or I'll block you again. You can check the replay later!" Jia Fei teased Redick as he passed by. After saying that, he left, leaving Redick with a cool back view.

Redick snapped out of his daze, glared at the source of the conversation, and saw Jia Fei. He was furious; he was going to show this brat whether he could actually stop him.

Thunder's offense: Reggie Jackson's pull-up mid-range shot also failed!

Howard grabbed another rebound.

Magic offense: Howard drives hard to the basket against veteran Mohammed, drawing a foul from the latter!

Mohammed had already fouled out and had no choice but to leave the game. Durant then returned to the court.

Howard went to the free throw line.

However, Howard only made one of his two free throws. 15-18, the Magic lead by 3 points!

Thunder offense, Durant isolates against Big Baby, and makes a jump shot over his opponent's head!

17:18, the gap has been narrowed to 1 points!

Jia Fei exclaimed that talent really allows you to do whatever you want. With Durant's jump shot, most people simply can't block it. Sometimes, whether he can make the shot depends on his own touch, and has nothing to do with defense.

Magic are on offense, and Duhon dribbles the ball across half-court.

Jia Fei clung to Redick like glue, sticking to him no matter where the latter ran. Moreover, his defense was clever; he kept his hands high, as if to tell the referee – I didn't foul!

"Rookie, you can't stop me!" Redick said fiercely.

"Don't talk, or I'll drown you out again!" Jia Fei didn't even look at him, just said weakly.

“…” Redick was absolutely furious. How dare this second-round pick provoke him!

Howard was attacking Collison in the low post when he was double-teamed and passed to Duhon on the outside.

Duhon didn't shoot a three-pointer; he wanted to pass the ball to Redick, but Redick was stuck to Jia Fei and had no space at all.

Du Hong hesitated for a moment and then forced his way to the basket, only to be cut out of bounds by Reggie!

The ball is out of play! Dwight Howard has been substituted by DeAndre Liggins!

The ball is inbounded in the attacking third, Duhon receives it, and Redick frantically calls for the ball. He knows he's unlikely to get a shot off easily, so he wants to dribble past this rookie.

Duhon passed the ball to Redick.

The Magic fans in the arena immediately started jeering, with many shouting, "Beat this rookie!"

Reddick gritted his teeth and glared at Jia Fei: "I'm going to deal with you right now!"

Jia Fei nodded: "Let me correct you, it's you who's going to get what's coming to you!"

"You... wait!" Redick signaled his teammates to pull away, as he was going to solo Jia Fei at the top of the arc.

Redick had the ball, and Jia Fei went straight up to defend him without hesitation.

In general, when defending one-on-one, if you encounter someone whose shooting is stronger than their driving ability, you will use close-marking defense, such as when defending a pure shooter; while when defending someone whose driving ability is stronger than their shooting ability, you will choose to step back to give them space to shoot, and focus on defending their driving ability, such as a certain player, a certain player, or a certain player.

Redick is clearly the type of player who is better at shooting than driving to the basket, and he is more of an off-ball shooter.

Redick saw Jia Fei close in, clearly not wanting to give him a shot opportunity, and thought to himself, "You really underestimate my ball-handling ability!" He immediately blew the ball and drove hard, trying to use his speed to shake off the opponent's defense!

But the result disappointed him. Jia Fei's lateral movement speed was simply insane. Not only did he fail to shake off his opponent, but he was also forced to the right sideline!

Redick didn't want to be guarded by a rookie so badly he couldn't even get a shot off. He forced a change of direction and drove hard to the left, but when he was caught up, he pulled up and jumped to shoot...

However, Jia Fei arrived almost simultaneously and used his speed and height to block Redick's jump shot!

The fans in the stadium let out a long sigh!

But that's not all, because it's at the top of the arc, and there's no one in the backcourt at all!

After the two players landed, Jia Fei was faster and caught up with the ball first, launching a counter-attack!

With a one-on-one situation in the attacking third, and no goalkeeper in the NBA, Jia Fei completed a one-handed dunk in front of more than 10,000 away fans!

The DJ at the event couldn't help but exclaim, "This arena will never forget him winning the Slam Dunk Contest just a week ago!"

19:18, thanks to Jia Fei's dunk, the Thunder took the lead!

When Jia Fei returned to defense and saw Redick, he shrugged and pursed his lips, as if to say, "I didn't want this to happen either, but you forced me to!"

Redick was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Being blocked face-to-face was incredibly humiliating. He hadn't expected the guy's jump shot to be so fast. He suddenly realized he'd made a huge mistake: this guy was a dunk contest champion, but he'd only just remembered that.

Sometimes anger can make a person lose their mind, and Redick is a perfect example.

Jia Fei's block and dunk boosted the Thunder's morale, while the Magic seemed to lack a leader after Howard left the court. Sure enough, Duhon hesitated during a pick-and-roll drive and was called for a traveling violation.

On the last possession of the first quarter, Durant pulled up for a jump shot over Liggins and made it, extending the lead to 3 points! For him, most defenders can't even touch the ball when he shoots, and he can force his way over defenders to shoot.

At the end of the first quarter, Jia Fei contributed two blocks in a very short period of time, both of which were against the opponent's sharpshooter JJ Redick!

Who told you to call yourself JJ? You don't even deserve to be called JJ! I'll hit your little JJ!
