Chapter 276 50 Points in a Single Game
Blake Griffin wasn't one to be trifled with either. He was furious and wanted to teach this black guy a lesson, so the Clippers called a timeout!
Old Li held a tactical board in his hand, looking inscrutable. Those who knew him well knew that he only looked like a master; in reality, he was a motivational speaker with no substance. This kind of coach excels at pre-game appeals and post-game reassurances, but his skills in tactics and on-the-spot adjustments have absolutely nothing to do with them.
Shabby grumbled and left the court. He'd truly lost face this time. Back in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, he'd won by leaping over a car, but tonight he'd been leaped over by that annoying Jia Fei! It was utterly humiliating! He couldn't even bear to think about how awful the post-game news would be. If they lost this game, he'd be the target of media scathing criticism. The thought made him incredibly restless. Even the Gatorade offered by the staff didn't taste good anymore. He angrily slammed a towel on the floor to vent his frustration.
At 21:16, the point difference wasn't actually that big, only 5 points, but judging from the game, the Clippers were somewhat dominated by Jia Fei alone during this period!
Barkley shook his head and said, "If I were Blake, I'd be embarrassed! You can't allow an opponent to dunk on you like that, even if it's a foul!"
Kenny Smith said, "Blake was trying to draw a foul on Jia Fei, but the opponent just flew over his head. These things are hard to predict sometimes."
After the timeout, both teams substituted their second units. The Clippers' second unit has never been strong; their scoring mainly relies on Klose, while other players like Reggie Bullock, Spencer Hawes, and Jordan Farmar are just ordinary role players.
The Hawks' second unit didn't perform well in this game, so they didn't take advantage of the opponent's absence to widen the score gap.
The first quarter ended at 28:25, with the Hawks leading by 3 points.
Jia Fei started slowly but rallied in the first quarter, scoring 12 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, dishing out 2 assists, and making 1 steal, continuing his good form from the previous game.
In the second quarter, Jia Fei didn't score as many points as he did in the first quarter, and the Clippers' hopes of double-teaming him were dashed.
Mills went on a scoring spree in the second quarter, having struggled with foul trouble in the first. The Hawks adjusted their matchups in the second quarter, assigning him to guard DeAndre Jordan and Al Horford to guard Blake Griffin.
Faker won't find it so easy to draw fouls against Horford's defense.
However, when he encountered DeAndre Jordan, he gave the latter several opportunities to score easy baskets.
Jia Fei didn't play with the same passion in the second quarter as he did in the first. At halftime, the Hawks led by one point, with the score at 54-53.
Jia Fei scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in the first half.
Intermission.
"Charles, do you predict Jia Fei will have another breakout game in the second half?" Kenny Smith asked.
"I don't think he can explode any further. His abilities are really just like this: good jumping ability and fast speed, but his technique is really average," Barkley answered with certainty.
"That means the Clippers don't need to double-team him!"
"Yes, no need!"
The third quarter began quickly.
The Hawks took the first possession, and Teague's layup was blocked out of bounds by DeAndre Jordan, sparking a mini-run at Staples Center!
Jia Fei took the free throw from the baseline and passed it to Horford at the top of the key!
Horford hands Korver his hand!
Jia Fei roamed along the baseline to the corner, using Mi Shen's off-the-ball screen!
Korver passed the ball to Jia Fei, who received it and took a three-pointer—and it went in smoothly!
Jia Fei hit a three-pointer right at the start of the third quarter! 57:53!
Blake Griffin received a brilliant pass from 58 and dunked with one hand, returning the favor!
Teague dribbled over, and Jia Fei cut out from the weak side!
Teague dribbled the ball to Jia Fei.
With the ball in hand and Horford's screen, Jia Fei launched a three-pointer after a screen – another three-pointer! 60:55!
DeAndre Jordan and 58 complete an alley-oop!
Both sides have been shooting well since the start of the second half, and both have still missed a shot so far!
Jia Fei continued to run pick-and-rolls to find Horford, forcing the Clippers to switch on defense!
Jia Fei VS DeAndre Jordan!
Jia Fei dribbled between his legs, then made a fake crossover move, and DeAndre Jordan clearly raised his center of gravity!
Jia Fei's two consecutive three-pointers posed a significant threat!
Jia Fei blew past DeAndre Jordan in one step, drove straight to the basket, turned past Barry, and made a powerful layup—smoothly scoring!
62:57, still a 5-point difference!
Redick missed a three-pointer for the Clippers!
Jia Fei grabbed the rebound, dribbled the ball over, and launched a three-pointer – there's more!
65:57，分差拉开到8分，贾飞目前已经4投全中砍下11分！
Clippers call a timeout!
Old Li seemed somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected Jia Fei to score so many points in a row. This guy hadn't shot many three-pointers in the first half, so why was he suddenly shooting three-pointers like crazy in the second half?
Clippers fans at Staples Center were also frustrated. Their team has excellent backcourt and rim defense, but weak wing defense. Many times, opposing star wings have performed well against them.
Barnes looks like a defensive stalwart, but that's all he's capable of. Expecting him to defend a superstar wing like Kevin Durant is pure wishful thinking.
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer was deep in thought on the sidelines. The Clippers general manager next to him had no idea what his boss was thinking, but it was clear that the owner was not satisfied with the team's performance.
"Charles, do the Clippers need to double-team Jia Fei?" Kenny Smith continued to ask.
"No need, he won't always be that accurate!" Barkley stubbornly refused to admit it.
After the timeout, the Clippers started having Barry closely guard JaVale, preventing him from getting easy three-point opportunities.
Jia Fei countered each move by dribbling and breaking through, but Barry couldn't stop him, and there was no double-teaming, so he could only watch helplessly as Jia Fei scored.
The fans on the sidelines were frantic, but Old Li remained calm and composed. On the bright side, you could say he'd seen it all, but on the other hand, it showed a lack of adaptability and a complete lack of solutions.
Jia Fei's single-point attacks overwhelmed the Clippers' defense.
贾飞第3节单节轰下20分！老鹰队在他的带领下以87:78领先9分！
In the final quarter, Coach Li finally thought of double-teaming Jia Fei, but it was too late. Jia Fei switched to playing off-ball, making it difficult to double-team him. The other Hawks players capitalized on their open looks and completely took the game in the latter part of the final quarter.
The Hawks ultimately defeated the Clippers 119-108 on the road, achieving their longest winning streak of the season at 11 games!
本场比赛贾飞全场投进8记3分球，砍下职业生涯最高的50分，外加7个篮板7次助攻2个抢断，表现堪称完美。
In this game, Jia Fei set several personal records, including the highest score in a single game (50), the highest score in a half (32), and the most three-pointers made in a single game (8).
