NBA's King of Talking

The ball went into the net with a thud...

18:14, the score difference has widened to 4 points!

Nate Robinson was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected his opponent to be so utterly unsportsmanlike, shooting right over his head – a clean one. And what made him even more humiliated wasn't just being shot over; he also got knocked down by his teammates who were helping on defense because he hadn't reacted in time…

And that wasn't all. Jia Fei, who had just made the jump shot, called out to him, who was lying on the ground, "Brother, get up and take your medicine!"

Nate Robinson, of course, didn't know who "Da Lang" was. He was American; he'd never been to China and had never sold pancakes in Yanggu County. But body language is universal, and Jia Fei's expression convinced him that the guy was mocking him. He instantly flew into a rage, scrambling to his feet, wanting to unleash a torrent of abuse, but couldn't find the right words.

It's true what they say, "You only realize how little you know when you need it." Being humiliated and unable to retaliate is a truly disgusting feeling, like eating shit.

Jia Fei knew that mocking others wasn't always gentlemanly, but he didn't care because he wanted to get points. His trash talk on the court was actually quite civilized. If you've ever seen Kevin Garnett or Gary Payton trash talk, you'll know what it means to have absolutely no bottom line.

The Bulls are on offense. Jimmy receives a pass from Nate Robinson and dribbles against Jia Fei one-on-one.

The Bulls fans in the arena started to boo, hoping that their captain, a rising star who looked just like the basketball god, would crush this arrogant Asian kid.

"I'm going to beat you to a pulp!" Jimmy declared.

"Stop talking nonsense, come and torture me already, I can't wait!" Jia Fei had a masochistic expression.

Jimmy was furious when he saw Jia Fei's expression. He took a tentative step and then charged forward!

Jia Fei stayed in front of him, stepping precisely to prevent the opponent from easily cutting in. Jimmy's weakness wasn't just his long-range shooting; his pull-up jumper wasn't very reliable at this point either. His best scoring method was still to get into the paint.

Jimmy was somewhat surprised that he couldn't shake off Jia Fei; he hadn't expected the guy to be so fast! It seemed he had underestimated him!

Forced to stop the ball, Jimmy faked a move, but Jia Fei didn't fall for it. He then faked another half-turn, but Jia Fei still didn't move.

With another movement of his pivot foot, Jimmy turned and launched a jump shot...

At that moment, Jia Fei made his move, almost as if he had overtaken the enemy after being caught up, and even managed to stay airborne!

Jimmy had already increased the arc, but the ball was still touched by Jia Fei's finger!

Reggie cleverly stole the ball! A collective sigh rippled through the crowd…

This is a blatant display of talent! Both of them are 201cm tall, but Jimmy's wingspan is about the same as his height, while Jia Fei's wingspan reaches a terrifying 220cm!

The Thunder launched a counterattack, and Jia Fei immediately made a fast break, with Reggie quickly finding him with the ball!

Jia Fei attracted the attention of many people in the middle, but instead of holding onto the ball, he passed it to Kevin Martin on the left wing!

Kevin Martin received the ball and made a layup after three steps!

At 20:14, the Thunder have extended their lead to 6 points! The Bulls call a timeout!

Jimmy's face showed a mixture of helplessness and resentment. He bore some responsibility for the play; if he hadn't been blocked, the opposing team wouldn't have been able to launch such a successful counterattack so easily. Just as he was blaming himself, Jia Fei walked past him and teased, "Even if I hadn't blocked you, you would have missed the ball anyway... I saved you, preventing you from embarrassing yourself in front of the home fans..."

Jimmy: "..." He didn't know what to say. How could there be such a shameless person? Where did this guy's narcissism and abnormal confidence come from? But he also had to admit that this guy's defense was really good. He had just made several feints, but this guy didn't fall for them. He was as calm as an old driver.

The Bulls' second unit fans left the court feeling dejected, especially Jimmy and Nate Robinson. These two had been subtly criticized by Jia Fei for a long time, and not only did they perform terribly, but they also highlighted the opponent's outstanding performance. They were extremely frustrated.

Coach Thibodeau keeps emphasizing "toughness and grit," but he lacks concrete tactics. There are many similar coaches in the NBA; some only emphasize "toughness," ball movement, and aggressiveness, but they lack specific strategies and tactics, relying entirely on the players to play by themselves. They just talk and yell, giving off a "suit-wearing thug" vibe.

Coach Brooks is also full of motivational speeches. Unlike Rivers and Thibodeau, who only say "GOGOGO", his motivational speeches are rich in meaning. Rivers and Thibodeau are like boiled seafood, while he is like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

After the timeout, the Bulls' offense still didn't improve. Nate Robinson was shooting terribly; it seemed like every shot he took was gone. Driving to the basket against the opponent's twin towers, he acted like a child. He couldn't break through. The second unit lacked anyone to disrupt the opponent's formation, and the other players were tightly marked one-on-one, freezing the offense.

The Thunder's second unit offense wasn't particularly efficient either. Kevin Martin had an off night, and neither of their two big men were particularly adept at finishing inside; both were role players. Jia Fei and Reggie Jackson struggled to score easily against the Thunder's aggressive defense. However, they still managed to rack up some points, allowing the score to gradually widen.

Once both teams' key players returned, the Thunder had already disrupted the previously evenly matched situation and gained the lead.

The Bulls' starting lineup lacks scoring explosiveness. For the past few seasons, their offense has heavily relied on Rose's initiation, and now with Noah initiating from the wings, what kind of scoring explosiveness can you expect? As for head coach Thibodeau, he's just like Doc Rivers—all he knows is toughness and motivational speeches. He might have offensive tactics, but they only remain in his mind; he can't actually put them into practice.

With a total score of less than 90 points, winning the game is harder than climbing to heaven in today's league.

The second half was largely predictable, with the Bulls struggling to score throughout the game and ultimately handing the victory to the Bulls.

Ultimately, the Thunder easily defeated the Bulls 98-86 on the road, achieving their second consecutive win after a three-game losing streak.

Jia Fei played 18 minutes and 24 seconds in this game, shooting 2-for-5 from the field, including 0-for-2 from three-point range, and making all 4 of his free throws, totaling 8 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. Although his offensive efficiency was average, he once again demonstrated his potential as a defensive stalwart, completely limiting Jimmy Butler and becoming a rebounding maniac, setting a new personal single-game rebounding record.

Not only that, he not only won the game, but also easily won the trash talk battle with Jimmy Butler and Nate Robinson, achieving a double victory in both the verbal and physical aspects!

After the game, the Thunder team flew back to Oklahoma City overnight on a chartered plane, where they will host the Pistons in their next game.
