NBA's King of Talking
Chapter 90: First Career Double-Double
In the first half, the Thunder held the advantage in a back-and-forth battle of rotations between the two teams, thus breaking the game's evenness. Once both teams' starters returned, the Thunder maintained their lead.
At halftime, the Thunder led by 9 points, 49-58!
Jia Fei tallied 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in the first half, delivering a well-rounded, efficient, and explosive performance. His presence on the court in the first half even surpassed that of Westbrook, something head coach Brooks couldn't have imagined. His dunk over Jack, which included a self-dunk and an injury to Green, has already secured him a nomination for NBA Dunk of the Year.
In the second half, Green's mouth was even more swollen... Jia Fei didn't exert force intentionally, but his shoes were very hard. Even if it was an impact from inertia, his mouth was always soft and couldn't withstand the impact of the shoes.
Green really suffered a huge loss today. He wanted to curse but couldn't open his mouth, and he wanted to hit someone but couldn't find an opportunity. He was so angry that he was yelling and shouting on the bench, and even Warriors head coach Mark Jackson couldn't restrain him.
In the end, it was only through the intervention of Brother Gongming that Tie Niu's volatile emotions were calmed down.
In the third quarter, Durant came out firing on all cylinders for the Thunder. The Warriors were able to respond on offense, but their defense couldn't contain Durant.
When the second lineup came on, Kevin Martin and Jia Fei delivered consecutive performances, instantly creating a mini-boom and sealing the victory.
Towards the end of the fourth quarter, the game even entered garbage time. Reggie Jackson and Jeremy Lin, who were benchwarmers for the Thunder, also went up to show off their skills.
Ultimately, the Thunder, playing at home, defeated the Warriors by a large margin, achieving an 8-game winning streak!
The Thunder's eight-game winning streak is currently the longest in the league. During this eight-game winning streak, their defensive efficiency jumped to first place in the league, and their offensive efficiency also improved, entering the top ten in the league.
本场比赛贾飞继续稳定发挥,他全场出战19分43秒,7投4中,其中3分球4投2中,罚球两罚全中得到12分10个篮板4次助攻3个抢断1个盖帽,完成职业生涯首个两双的同时还填满了数据栏。
After the game, the topic of the conflict between Jia Fei and Green became a hot topic on various forums. Unexpectedly, the focus of the game shifted from Durant vs. Curry to Jia Fei vs. Green. Who could have predicted before the game that two substitutes would steal the spotlight from their two veteran teammates?
During dinner at the restaurant after the game, Lamb was increasingly impressed with Jia Fei: "Jia, your self-alley-oop dunk today was amazing! I remember Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter did that in the All-Star Game before, but very few people do it in actual games. You are definitely the first person to do a self-alley-oop dunk over someone and dunk in a game like that!"
Reggie added, "And he even accidentally hit an opponent! Hahaha..." He and Lamb both laughed. Although both played in garbage time tonight, their mentality has been okay lately; they occasionally feel frustrated, but it's not the norm. They've accepted their current situation; in a championship-contending team, someone has to sacrifice, and for the sake of a championship, not getting playing time is understandable. Their rookie contracts are four years long, two fully guaranteed and two team options—it's not bad to just sit back and collect the money.
Seeing that the two were in a good mood, Jia Fei was also pleased. As long as you are well-prepared, opportunities will always come; it's just a matter of time.
Back home, Jia Fei logged into the system again to check the task list and his rage level.
He achieved a double-double in this game, fulfilling the "achieve a double-double" goal and earning a reward of 1000 points. Not only that, but Iron Bull Green generated a staggering 20 "Angry Points" against him in this game, the most he's ever collected. 20 "Angry Points"—Iron Bull, how much do you hate me?!
Not only Tie Niu, but Jia Fei was also shocked to discover that Curry had also harbored five grudges against him...
Brother, oh brother, you hate me too? Is it because I beat up your brother Tie Niu, and you're still angry?
Jia Fei readily accepted the 25 bursts of anger and exchanged them for 2500 points.
With these 3500 points, plus the remaining 501 points in his account, he now has a total of 4001 points.
Once his total points exceeded 3000, Jia Fei immediately spent 3000 points to increase his "Iverson Peak Technique Integration" from 24% to 25%!
25%! Finally, we've reached 1/4! This is quite a milestone; accumulating points is truly no easy feat.
He has one less task in progress, now he only has eight.
On November 22, the Thunder defeated the Clippers at home, achieving their 9th consecutive victory!
Two days later, they narrowly defeated the Celtics on the road, achieving their 10th consecutive victory!
A 10-game winning streak has been achieved! This is the longest winning streak in the league so far, and Jia Fei has also accomplished the task of "achieving a 10-game winning streak" thanks to this streak of the team.
This task earned him a reward of 1000 points, which, combined with the 1589 points he already had, brought his total to 2589 points.
However, the winning streak did not continue. The following day, the Thunder suffered a narrow defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers in a back-to-back road game, marking their fourth loss of the season.
After this game, their record is 10 wins and 4 losses, temporarily ranking 3rd in the Western Conference.
After a two-game road trip in the Eastern Conference, the Thunder players returned to Oklahoma City. Their next game will be a home game against the Bobcats.
The Bobcats have been doing quite well lately, with a 7-5 record and ranking 6th in the Eastern Conference. However, the biggest question is whether they can maintain this form. The team's talent and overall strength are still too lacking, even in the Eastern Conference.
Kemba Walker has become a starter this season and is currently performing consistently, showing signs of becoming the Bobcats' future leader.
On the evening of the 26th, Jia Fei and Lamb treated their old teammate Kemba Walker to dinner at a restaurant in Oklahoma City.
Kemba Walker is currently riding high, radiating an aura of something far from ordinary. It's undeniable that even though the Bobcats are a weak team, and Charlotte is a small-town country, he's a key player the team is developing, and currently the offensive engine of the team. He believes that as long as no other superstars join the team, he will be the future leader.
In stark contrast to him was Lamb, who seemed somewhat dejected. Even the best mindset suffers from comparison; looking at his senior and then at himself, both were lottery picks who entered the league, yet he became Harden's trade bait, came to Oklahoma City to reunite with his former roommate, but couldn't even make the rotation.
If he had managed to adjust his mindset fairly well before, then seeing Kemba Walker instantly brought on a sense of loss and disappointment, making him want to drink himself into oblivion.
"Jeremy, don't be discouraged, your chance will come!" Kemba Walker encouraged Lamb.
"Yes, you just need to be prepared. I spent my entire rookie season on the bench!" Jia Fei said with the experience of someone who's been there.
