NBA's King of Talking

Jia Fei confidently took a three-pointer, and the ball's trajectory was perfectly straight!

Did the ball go in? No!

The ball hit the front edge of the rim, but the shot wasn't powerful enough!

But precisely because of its straight trajectory, the ball became a long backboard and bounced directly back into Jia Fei's hands!

Rebound +1! Sometimes, you can't grab a rebound no matter how hard you try, but it just bounces right into your hand. What can you do about it?

A gasp of amazement rippled through the crowd…

Before the gasps of astonishment had even subsided, Jia Fei struck again…

You can feel that confidence even through the screen. Who says a substitute role player can't have the same confidence as the Bobcats owner and the 4 o'clock basketball fanatic?

Swish—what a beautiful sound! In the hearts of many basketball enthusiasts, this sound is heavenly music!

22:18, the score difference has been narrowed to 4 points in an instant!

The reason why three-pointers are so important is that they can create space on the offense and allow for extremely quick scoring. Three two-pointers are equal to two three-pointers; you can do the math to see why.

The crowd erupted in cheers. Wow, this was the Thunder's first three-pointer of the game! We don't need to elaborate on how badly they'd missed before.

Kenny Smith gave Barkley a meaningful look, while Barkley seemed completely unfazed. A closer look would reveal that he wore the same expression when he underestimated Yao Ming and was subsequently proven wrong.

What surprised everyone at the scene was not only that Jia Fei hit a three-pointer, but that he started guarding Rudy Gay from the backcourt!

One of the best ways to defend against an offensive spearhead is to limit their receiving ability. The greater a player's offensive threat, the more important it is to limit their receiving ability. This is especially true for players who primarily attack with the ball.

Guy found it amusing that the other side was so wary of him; it seemed he had really been underestimated! But at the same time, he was also a little annoyed. Damn it, the backcourt is just guarding him like a fly, how annoying! Just wait until I beat this second-year rookie to a pulp.

Upon reaching the frontcourt, Guy reached out for the ball, but Jia Fei completely entangled him, sparing no effort to interfere, making it difficult for Bayless to pass the ball to him.

Bayless opted for a different offensive approach, passing the ball to Ellington on the weak side, whose jump shot was disrupted—nothing!

Thabeet retrieved the board and handed it to Meno to push forward.

The same tactic was used: set up Kevin Martin, who was double-teamed again!

Kevin Martin didn't force a shot, choosing to trust his teammate, and the ball ended up in Jia Fei's hands in the left corner!

Guy still didn't take Jia Fei's three-pointer seriously. He thought it was impossible for the guy to make consecutive three-pointers; it was just pure luck!

Jia Fei received the ball and pulled up for a three-pointer!

With that confident smile, the ball went in again!

Doublekill! 22:21, the 7-point difference was instantly reduced to just 1 point!

There were 46 seconds left in the first quarter.

The atmosphere at the stadium was electric. Jia Fei's double kill had fans feeling their brains flooded with dopamine, hormones surged, hearts raced, and bodies were burning with excitement.

Kenny Smith: "Charles, what do you think of this?"

Barkley remained calm and composed: "He only made two open shots! If Rudy hadn't been so overconfident, I believe Jia Fei wouldn't have made them."

“…” Kenny Smith found himself speechless.

Reggie and Lamb on the sidelines were already standing up, waving towels, and Westbrook was even dancing to disco music. Of course, Durant remained calmly seated, his expression serene, as if everything was under his control.

Jia Fei's two three-pointers were a real lifesaver. With Durant and Wei Zheng on the court, the team trailing, and Rudy Gay on the opposing team on fire, Jia Fei's value was even greater thanks to all these debuffs.

Rudy Gay was getting impatient. He couldn't get the ball, so he simply walked over to Bayless and handed it to him by hand!

This method did get him the ball, but he was already near the center line.

Speights gestured for him to come over and set a screen, but Gay declined.

"I'm going to eat you up by myself!" Guy said fiercely to Jia Fei.

"Just what I wanted!" Jia Fei revealed a sly smile. After speaking, he suddenly began to press his opponent closely! This kind of pressing defense usually occurs in the final stages of a game or during full-court presses. This type of defense is very physically demanding and requires a high level of skill from the defender; one wrong move and you can lose your position.

Although Gay has decent ball-handling skills for his position, his ball-handling is still somewhat sluggish compared to smaller guards. In addition, his high center of gravity makes his ball protection mediocre.

Jia Fei's relentless pressure caught Gay off guard, and he almost had to return to the court. His opponent was incredibly fast, and Gay found it difficult to shake him off with dribbling. In desperation, he made a noticeable shoving motion with his hand as he drove, pushing Jia Fei back several steps.

"Beep beep beep—" Offensive foul! The referee made a decisive call!

There's definitely no problem with this shot. In slow motion, you can see that Guy made a clear forceful movement with his hand, and Jia Fei didn't even fake it.

The crowd booed loudly. Jia Fei's pressing was too successful. He not only regained possession of the ball, but also forced Gay to commit a foul!

"I didn't foul, he frantically explained to the referee."

Jia Fei leaned closer and said, "You didn't break the rules, but you almost pulled all the hair off my chest!"

Referee: "..." What kind of outrageous words are these?

"What did you say?" Guy tried to yell at Jia Fei, but the referee quickly stopped him.

Jia Fei shrugged and said, "To be honest, it's really hard to tell the truth these days!" He felt really good about it now. He had angered his opponent, and then he could get his revenge. It was a win-win situation.

The game continued, and the Thunder gained possession. The atmosphere in the arena became much more cheerful because of what had just happened. Even Kevin Durant smiled, though he still retained his ever-present nerdy demeanor when he laughed.

The Thunder inbounded the ball from the sideline, and Jia Fei, as usual, moved to the left baseline corner. He had already made two three-pointers from this spot, and he still felt he would make another one.

Guy dared not let it go any further. Regardless of whether Jia Fei had made the basket by chance or not, it was in, and sometimes even the Ice Shooter could find the basket as big as the ocean on a certain night.

"I'm guarding you, you can forget about scoring!" Guy said confidently.

"Really?" Jia Fei smiled slightly.

Guy found this guy's smile a little creepy...

The Thunder actively sought out Jia Fei again, even though he was being guarded!

After receiving the ball in the corner, Jia Fei decisively made a shooting motion...

Guy didn't jump completely, but he had already shifted his center of gravity!

In an instant, Jia Fei ducked and darted past his opponent's ribs, hurtling towards the basket like a sharp sword!

Speights turned to try and cover, but it was too late; Jia Fei had already taken off...
