NBA's King of Talking

Jia Fei jumped on one foot, leaped high into the air, drew his right hand to its full extent, completely ignoring Speights who came to help defend, and slammed the ball into the basket amidst the astonished gazes of the fans!

Wow--

The rim shook violently, still feeling the powerful dunk from Jia Fei!

Clearly, this shot will be one of the top five shots of the night.

The Ford Center erupted... The Thunder had been under pressure from start to finish, and this basket was like a release valve, unleashing their full potential. Not only that, the home team also took a one-point lead thanks to this basket!

The atmosphere on the sidelines was completely electric... Westbrook pulled Reggie into a dance, and even Durant was clapping.

On the Grizzlies' side, Randolph shook his head, dissatisfied with his teammates' performance. The advantage he had painstakingly built up had vanished in an instant, which was bound to infuriate him.

Even Rudy Gay, who had previously looked down on Jia Fei, had to admit that the play was spectacular! From the dribble to the dunk, it was all done in one smooth motion—fast, fierce, and wild. Isn't this the kind of tough guy that many girls dream of?

The Thunder have completely taken the lead, and with the Grizzlies' Bayless's shot on horseback missing, they ended the first quarter with a 1-point advantage.

贾飞在首节比赛4投3中命中两记3分球，得到8分1篮板！

"Charles, you still look down on Jia Fei, just like you looked down on Yao Ming back then. You just look down on Asians, don't you?" Kenny Smith teased Barkley from the commentary booth.

Barkley was seen eating a hot dog during the break. He quickly devoured a huge hot dog, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's not that I look down on Asians, but I genuinely felt that neither Jia Fei nor Yao Ming had absolute strength. Of course, Yao Ming later proved me wrong with his performance, and I fulfilled my punishment. I'm a man of my word!"

Kenny Smith can't refute this; Barkley did indeed kiss a donkey's rear end on live television back then, and the video can still be found online today.

"What if Jia Fei scores 20 points in this game?" Kenny Smith asked.

“Then I take back what I just said. I admit he does have a little bit of skill!” Barkley said.

The third quarter began quickly.

Rudy Gay, who played the entire first quarter, went to the bench to rest, and Conley came in. The Grizzlies then played a slightly smaller lineup.

Jia Fei went to defend Bayless as instructed by the head coach.

Unlike Gay, Bayless is a guard with a fairly strong physique, but he is much smaller than Gay and shorter than Jia Fei.

The Thunder took the initiative on offense, and amidst the cheers of the fans in the arena, Mayno dribbled the ball over.

Jia Fei was still standing in the corner, and Ellington, who was defending him, was sticking to him tightly, not giving him an easy open shot!

Ellington, an elite guard from North Carolina who was once named Most Outstanding Player (MOP), was the 28th overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft. However, after entering the NBA, although he remained an excellent shooter, his mediocre physical attributes and lack of other strengths besides his jump shot made him just another face in the crowd.

The NBA is indeed extremely competitive. Even players who dominated in the NCAA can barely make a living, which shows just how insane the talent requirements are.

Jia Fei was closely guarded and had no chance. Thabeet received the ball under the basket and made a strong attack, but it was disrupted. Conley grabbed the rebound and pushed the ball up the court!

Conley dribbles in, uses a screen to get inside, and then passes to Bayless on the weak side!

Bayless received the ball and made a fierce, aggressive run against Jia Fei, charging directly at his body!

Jia Fei was not afraid of confrontation. He did not make physical contact but used his height and wingspan advantage to cover his opponent and prevent him from easily committing a foul!

Bayless forced a shot, and Jia Fei tried to interfere, but the ball missed!

Kevin Martin gets the ball, and Jia Fei immediately makes a fast break!

Kevin Martin goes straight for the ball!

After receiving the ball, Jia Fei faced interference from two players. Without hesitation, he immediately passed the ball to Meno in the middle and then sprinted towards the bottom corner!

Meno dribbles the ball over and passes it to Jia Fei in the corner!

Jia Fei receives the ball and feints!

Ellington flew out of bounds!

Jia Fei confidently took a three-pointer... He clenched his fist and said, "Go in!"

The ball swished through the net! Three three-pointers! Jia Fei is on fire!

At 22:26, ​​the Thunder are leading by 4 points! The Grizzlies call a timeout!

When Jia Fei entered the game, the score was 20-15. Now it's 22-26, and the Thunder have easily gone on an 11-2 run, completely turning the tide of the game. During this period, he accounted for all of the team's points, and his shooting touch was absolutely red-hot.

Moreover, he's not only on fire on offense, but his defensive performance has also been remarkable, from limiting Gay to now limiting Bayless.

The Ford Center was in an uproar. The fans never expected that the player leading the team's offensive surge would be Jia Fei, a substitute player, who was neither the league's scoring champion Durant nor the league's powerful guard Westbrook.

Kenny Smith smiled at Barkley and interrupted before the latter could speak, saying, "I know, it's luck, isn't it?"

Barkley made a fool of himself...

Jia Fei received a warm welcome from his teammates on the bench, and Lamb even offered him a sports drink. His treatment was comparable to that of the team's two All-Stars.

Jia Fei has now scored 11 points. His NBA regular season career high for a single game is 10 points, and he has already broken the record by scoring 11 points before half the game is even over.

Of course, since the base number is relatively low, whether this record is broken or not doesn't mean much, but it's still an encouragement for him, at least proving that he has the ability to do these things, as long as he gets the opportunity.

Originally, the match between the two teams was between Durant and Wei Wuxian versus the Black and White Twins. However, Gay exploded on one side and Jia Fei exploded on the other. The X-factors on both sides came into play, and the game suddenly became extremely intense.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies brought back their starters and began targeting Jia Fei's three-pointers. Ellington stuck to him like glue the whole game.

This made it difficult for Jia Fei to have an easy shot anymore, but as long as he stood there, he could create space, and he could also defend and grab rebounds, which made the coach reluctant to substitute him.

At halftime, the Thunder led by 7 points, 49-56.

Jia Fei scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in the first half, a performance that can be described as explosive.

The second half followed a similar pattern to the first half, with the Thunder's starters digging a hole for the Grizzlies, which their bench players filled. Jia Fei wasn't as accurate in the second half as he was in the first half because the opponent's defense was tight, but he still hit two more three-pointers, making a total of five three-pointers in the game, helping the team narrowly defeat the Grizzlies by three points at home.

In the end, the Thunder narrowly defeated the Grizzlies at home, achieving a six-game winning streak!
