NBA's King of Talking

Jimmy Butler took a deep breath and took the first free throw—he spun around and came out.

Jia Fei, who was standing under the basket preparing to grab a rebound, covered his mouth with his hand and chuckled. All of this was happening right under Jimmy's nose, which made him even more annoyed.

Jimmy gritted his teeth and took his second free throw—still no luck!

Thabeet, positioned under the basket, took on two opponents, effectively shutting down Muhammad and Radmanovic.

Jia Fei leaped with all his might and caught the rebound amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd!

Jimmy was indignant and tried to steal the ball with a "ghost hand," but Jia Fei was prepared and dodged the ball, turning the opponent's attempt to steal the ball into a slap.

"Beep beep beep—" The referee's whistle blew—Foul!

Both sides have entered the "Bonus" phase, where fouls result in free throws.

Jimmy was even more frustrated. Not only did he miss both free throws, but he was also tricked into committing a foul. It was like an NBA version of "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead".

Jia Fei shrugged at him, then flashed an angelic smile. He walked over to Jimmy and said weakly, "Watch closely, let your older brother give you a lesson on how to take a free throw!"

Jimmy was furious, his face turning pale. How could this guy be so shameless, actually teaching him a lesson? He'd heard of Jia Fei before; both were rookies in the 2011 draft, Jimmy being the 30th overall pick in the first round, and Jia Fei in the second. Jia Fei had received a lot of media hype after winning the dunk contest, which infuriated Jimmy. He felt that Jia Fei's victory was purely due to his Asian skin, a shady operation by the NBA to attract Asian players. He thought this kind of jerk winning the championship was worthless.

Reggie walked up to Jia Fei with a grin and asked, "Jia, are you trying to mess with people's mentality again with your trash talk?"

Jia Fei, with a straight face, spouted nonsense: "No, I'm promoting positive energy on the sports field!"

"Are you really that kind?" Reggie naturally didn't believe it.

Jia Fei asked with an air of righteousness, "Do you know Confucius?"

Reggie nodded. Of course he knew; Jia Fei had mentioned this man called "Confucius" before, and he had even considered challenging him to a duel!

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness—these are some of the core tenets of Confucianism. Confucius is a representative figure of Confucianism. I'll give you a little background information next time!" Jia Fei prepared to go to the free-throw line.

"Okay, okay, I love learning!" Reggie clenched his fist. His mother told him to make friends with cultured people. Clearly, Jia Fei looked very cultured, much better than Durant, who only liked wearing stockings, and Westbrook, who liked to dance stupid dances.

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black"—many Americans know this principle.

Jia Fei stepped to the free-throw line. Before taking the shot, he deliberately glanced at Jimmy, as if to tell him, "Watch closely, I'm about to take a free throw. Learn from me; it'll be good for you."

Jimmy was so angry he wanted to go up and smash that guy's handsome face to pieces!

Jia Fei immediately focused, despite the constant distractions from the fans in the arena. He calmly took the free throw and made it!

The second free throw was also made! 16-14, the Thunder took a 2-point lead!

After Jia Fei finished his penalty kick, he shrugged at Jimmy, meaning there was nothing he could do. The basketball was going to go into the basket by itself, and he couldn't pull it back.

Jia Fei wasn't afraid of Jimmy. This Jimmy wasn't the same guy from his previous life who "played dead in the regular season but Jordan in the playoffs." Now, aside from his tough defense, he was incredibly rough around the edges. The reason he chose to confront this guy was to earn some anger points! For the sake of points, what's wrong with offending a few people? The NBA is all about competition. If we're all playing brotherly basketball, we might as well just play video games.

During the Bulls' offense, Nate Robinson darted around like a magician, and the Thunder's guards couldn't catch him. In the end, he pulled up for a jump shot, but it missed!

Jia Fei grabbed another rebound and, facing Jimmy's defense, forced his way forward, passing to Reggie to organize the offense in the half-court. Their second unit, playing with two towers, couldn't get the speed up, making transition offense difficult.

Collison couldn't get a hook shot from Radmanovic in the low post!

Thabeet grabbed the rebound under the basket, was double-teamed, and then passed it to Jia Fei on the outside!

Jia Fei's three-pointer missed, but he had an excellent rebounding instinct, rushing to the long rebound and passing to Thabeet under the basket, whose layup was blocked by Muhammad!

Tragically, the ball hit Thabeet's calf and went out of bounds, and it was a ball from the backcourt...

Jia Fei was speechless. This senior's finishing ability could only be described as "terrible." It was too slow, like slow motion. Eating a pancake like that makes you look like an old woman. How could anyone let you eat it so slowly?

On the Bulls' offense, Nate Robinson was still dribbling around, only to pass the ball to Belinelli on the perimeter when it died, leaving Belinelli with no choice but to take a three-pointer...

The ball missed, and Thabeet secured the rebound.

Both sides struggled offensively, with only Jia Fei scoring two points from free throws. Neither side managed to score from field goal, and the game continued their offensive stagnation.

The first quarter ended with the score at 16-14, a classic game between the two teams.

In fact, the Thunder's offense has been consistently sluggish this season. Aside from their two stars, the other three starters average less than 10 points per game. Their bench, without Harden, relies on a twin-tower lineup, resulting in a slow, inaccurate, and uninspiring offense. As for the Bulls, without Rose, their offense is completely reliant on luck. Today's performance wasn't the first time we've seen this; everyone's almost used to it.

Jia Fei had an outstanding performance in the first quarter, scoring 2 points and grabbing 3 rebounds on 0-for-1 shooting.

The second quarter began.

Nate Robinson started the game with a missed shot, as if to tell the fans in the arena, "Don't fall asleep, a new round of missed shots is about to begin!"

Collison grabbed the rebound, and Reggie dribbled the ball over.

Kevin Martin's three-point attempt also missed!

However, Jia Fei grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Kevin Martin for another shot from the outside!

Kevin Martin is going to miss again!

Jia Fei snatches it again!

Radmanovic couldn't stand it anymore, so he shoved Jia Fei and fouled him to stop him from constantly grabbing rebounds under their basket!

Westbrook stood up from the bench and roared to cheer on his teammates. What was both funny and sad was that he had a towel over his head, and it was unclear whether he had put it there himself or someone else had done it for him. It was tied up, making Jia Fei think he looked just like a fellow villager from the movie "Tunnel Warfare".

Jia Fei's rebounding spree was incredibly impressive; he grabbed two rebounds in just a short time, bringing his total to five, making him the team's top rebounder in the game.

The Thunder inbound the ball from the baseline, and Reggie Jackson receives it at the top of the key.

Jia Fei suddenly went up to set a screen!

The Bulls immediately switched onto the defense!

Reggie immediately passed the ball to Jia Fei, who had broken up the defense!

Jia Fei faces off against Nate Robinson! Slam Dunk King vs. Slam Dunk King!

Jia Fei caught the ball and immediately launched a jump shot; Nate Robinson didn't even have time to react...
