Chapter 230 The Real Veteran Driver
At halftime, the Hawks led the Heat 62-50 by 12 points, which surprised many people.
If the Hawks had a perfect start, could they really maintain that perfect start for the entire game?
Although it was only the first half, the Hawks truly had a perfect first half. If the first half was perfect, how far away can the full game be?
贾飞半场砍下23分4个篮板3次助攻2个抢断1个盖帽，表现堪称完美。他上半场无论是单节得分还是半场得分，都刷新了自己的季后赛记录。
The Heat's James and Wade combined for 20 points in the first half, but their performance paled in comparison to Jia Fei's. As for Bosh, many have forgotten he's also one of the Big Three… he only grabbed one rebound in the entire first half. Yes, you read that right, not 10, but one! Westbrook's triple-double season, while many say he's padding his rebounding, he genuinely grabbed that many rebounds! Even if he was padding, the rebounding numbers wouldn't be faked. So this makes Bosh and Gao Yuanyuan's rebounding even more disappointing. Damn, you guys are so tall, you can't even out-rebound a guard!
Since joining the Heat, he's no longer the "King of the Raptors" he once was. Aside from his opening "eon" that vaguely reminds you of his former glory, he's barely noticeable on the court. While he's supposed to create space, his open shooting isn't particularly impressive, and his rebounding and shot-blocking are abysmal. His ability to switch on smaller players is probably his most commendable strength right now.
Many fans feel sorry for Bosh, believing he sacrificed the most when he joined the Heat to form the Big Three. He did sacrifice his ball possession and stats, but wasn't he the weakest of the three? Why didn't the Heat draft Wade and Dwyane Wade have to sacrifice? Wade was drafted by the Heat, and Bosh couldn't replace him, but Wade was also an outsider. Why was Bosh the one to sacrifice instead of Wade?
Even LeBron haters wouldn't think Bosh is better than Running Man, right? Haters might say that players like Durant, Kevin Durant, and James Harden are better than Running Man, but they wouldn't think Bosh is better than Running Man. Bosh simply doesn't reach that level; he's just an average All-Star. If there weren't so few good power forwards in the East, he would have had a hard time making the All-Star team in the West.

"Coach Zhang, the Hawks played exceptionally well in the first half, scoring 62 points. Do you think they had an outstanding performance or the Heat played poorly?" Yu Jia asked Coach Zhang.
Coach Zhang cleared his throat, adopting a dignified and authoritative demeanor: "The Hawks played well! Jia Fei played just like Kobe in this game. He didn't just pass the ball around; he was very confident. I bet he watches Kobe's tapes often and is learning from him!"
"Do you think the Hawks can maintain this hot streak in the second half?" Yu Jia continued to ask.
Coach Zhang didn't answer directly: "The Hawks need to continue playing this reasonable game in the second half, play more inside-out, and be patient. I think they should be fine!"
The second half began quickly, with both sides fielding their starting lineups.
The Heat took the first possession, with Chalmers dribbling the ball across half-court.
When the Running Man came out to receive the ball, Chalmers, no matter how unhappy he was, could only hand the ball over and then slunk off to the corner to smoke.
The Running Man dribbled the ball with his left hand while pointing and directing his teammates' positioning with his right. He used a lot of body language and verbal cues; you'd think he was a coach training his players!
"You think you're directing traffic?" Jia Fei laughed, stepping forward to seize the item.
The Running Man used his butt to block Jia Fei, while Bosh sheepishly came up to set a screen.
Using Bosh's slender waist as a pivot, Jia Fei turned around and blocked the Running Man's path.
With this back and forth, there was very little time left for the attack.
The Running Man member took a step back and unleashed a "Yangcheng Lake jump shot," the ball arcing through the air in an ugly fashion before falling out of bounds...
Three things to avoid...
Art Mayork, standing on the sidelines, laughed and waved a towel. He said to Carroll, nicknamed "Shennongjia James," "Look, this is the so-called best player in the league. How does he manage to shoot so ugly and unpredictable?"
James from Shennongjia shook his head. He didn't know either. Maybe this was what they called technology!
Coach Ham, the assistant coach, was writing something in his notebook with a pen. To the uninitiated, he might have looked like he was taking important notes! But those who knew him well knew that his notebook contained nothing but a few app account passwords. The reason he always carried a notebook was just for show, to impress people. He was afraid people would think he had a problem (which he already did), and that he was some kind of incredibly knowledgeable coach.
On the other side of the Heat's camp, Coach Spoelstra remained expressionless, lost in thought. Jia Fei had felt Spoelstra looked familiar the first time he saw him, and now he realized—he resembled a classmate from his previous life. He wondered if Coach Spoelstra had any relatives in China, but it was highly unlikely. Spoelstra wasn't the only NBA player to resemble a Chinese actor; for example, there was DeAndre Jordan and Liu Bei from the Three Kingdoms period, Shaun Livingston and Karen Mok, the Running Man actor and Chang Chen-yue, Rudy Gobert and Daniel Wu, Jay Chou and Kyle Korver, Isaiah Thomas and Dwight Howard, Dirk Nowitzki and Dirk Snoop Dogg…
The Hawks were on offense. Teague dribbled the ball over, and Jia Fei and Korver immediately set screens for each other!
Jia Fei suddenly cut inside, drawing the attention of both James and Wade!
Korver is empty!
This was a defensive blunder; they actually let Korver, such a sharpshooter, slip through.
Teague immediately passed the ball, and Korver received it without needing to adjust at all, immediately firing a three-pointer!
The ball traced a beautiful arc in the air and finally swished through the net!
Both shots didn't touch the rim, but one made a crisp sound of going in, while the other was silent. Both were three-point jump shots, but one had a standard, aesthetically pleasing form, while the other looked like a crab. Ignoring accuracy and focusing on form, you still lose!
At 65:50, the point difference reached its largest of 15 points so far in the game, and many Heat fans in the stands were starting to get anxious, thinking, "Damn it, stop pretending to be dead, don't actually be dead."
It's obvious that the Heat's dominance this season isn't as strong as last season. Wade's decline due to age and injuries is very noticeable, and Bosh is as unreliable as ever. Even the "Running Man" (a popular Chinese sports commentator) is showing signs of fatigue this season. He's not young anymore!
On the other hand, the Hawks were obviously much younger. Jia Fei was becoming more and more like a larger version of Allen Iverson with off-ball three-point shooting ability. He was tireless and as experienced and calm as a real veteran!
