Chapter 190 wins its first Player of the Week award.
Some people previously said that Jia Fei's selection for the All-Star team was due to his skin color, just like Yao Ming did in the past, but his recent performance has silenced those who questioned him.
Whether it's individual statistics or team performance, Jia Fei's performance is impeccable.
After finishing the game against the Thunder, the Hawks stayed another night in Oklahoma City. The next day, after lunch, the Hawks players boarded a private plane and returned to Atlanta.
Before leaving, Jia Fei still felt a little emotional. This familiar city was now just a passing place for him, but the memories didn't fade away so quickly.
Putting aside his feelings of regret, Jia Fei stopped letting these emotions affect him too much. He knew that one must look forward. There are many passersby in life, and the reason some people can only be passersby is not entirely due to their own actions. Life involves many choices; you can't have everything, that's impossible.
Upon returning to Atlanta, the Hawks will have two days of rest. They have no games on the last two days of the month, and their next game will be against the Philadelphia 76ers on February 1st.
1月31日，据NBA官网报道，2014年NBA全明星赛的东西部替补阵容名单已经全部出炉。休斯顿火箭队的“魔登组合”、洛杉矶快船队的58保罗以及迈阿密热火队的“一板道人”波什领衔14人入选。
Other players selected as Eastern Conference All-Star reserves alongside Bosh include: Carmelo Anthony, Roy Hibbert, Joakim Noah, DeMar DeRozan, Joe Johnson, and John Wall;
Besides James Harden and Dwight Howard of the Rockets, the other players selected as Western Conference All-Star reserves are Damian Lillard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki, and Chris Paul.
According to the rules, All-Star starters are selected by fans, while reserves are selected by coaches. This means that starters often reflect a player's popularity, while reserves better reflect a player's actual ability and season performance. This is because coaches are generally considered more professional than fans.
Jia Fei became the Hawks' only player to be selected for the All-Star game. According to many experts and coaches, if Horford had not been sidelined for the season, he would also have likely become an All-Star.
But the reality is that Jia Fei is the only remaining player, and he naturally became the figure heavily promoted by the Hawks' official website. His picture has always been on the team's homepage; his handsome face and sunny, healing smile make him a new generation's heartthrob.
Art Mayor lay on Jia Fei's sofa and sighed, "Jia, I'll have to be more careful when I go out with you in the future. Your star power is too strong. If I do anything inappropriate, it'll easily make the news. Look, my social media followers are constantly increasing, and so many fans are messaging me asking about you. I'm speechless. Since they're my fans, why are they all asking about you?"
Jia Fei laughed: "This proves that these aren't your die-hard fans, you can delete them!"
"No way! Even if they're not my die-hard fans, they're still my fans. My account looks more popular than many others. Some well-known players in the league don't even have as many fans as I do!" Art Mayork refused outright.
As the saying goes, "Man fears becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat," Jia Fei knows that becoming increasingly famous isn't always a good thing. Of course, his commercial value is constantly rising; his agent, Jeff Schwartz, recently called to tell him that many businesses want to collaborate with him.
Regarding the collaboration, Jia Fei felt it was definitely a good thing, but he wouldn't accept just any endorsement; he would carefully select candidates. Once someone becomes famous, they need to consider sustainable development and their image. If the product they endorse turns out to be a flop, then it's inevitable that they, as the spokesperson, will be criticized.
As a time traveler, Jia Fei knew some things about his past life. He recently bought some shares of top-performing stocks like Apple, hoping to sell them during a future bull market and make a fortune.
If you don’t make money, you’re a bastard!
What's giving him a headache is his girlfriend, Sharapova. Lately, she's become insecure and keeps asking him if he loves her. It seems like she's started to feel anxious ever since his fame grew.
Jia Fei was speechless. Shouldn't women want their men to succeed? Women should be happy when their men succeed!
February has arrived.
On February 1, the Hawks defeated the 76ers on the road, achieving their third consecutive victory.
The 76ers are on a one-way street to tanking, and they really can tank. They're going all out to acquire top talent.
That's definitely how it should be done. The reconstruction should be thorough. If it's just half-hearted, the reconstruction period will be longer, and there's no guarantee of any good results.
Basketball is still very much dependent on talent. A superstar can really change a team because although basketball is a team sport, there are only 5 people on the court.
The following day, the Hawks returned to their home court and narrowly defeated the Timberwolves in a back-to-back game, achieving their fourth consecutive victory.
The Hawks have not only been consistently strong against weaker teams this season, but they've also performed admirably against top teams. They've already defeated the Western Conference-leading Thunder, the Eastern Conference-leading Pacers, and the second-ranked Heat, proving they're not entirely incapable of handling tough games. While they're still not considered a championship favorite, their current record and future potential make them a team to watch.
On February 3, the NBA officially announced the Players of the Week for the Eastern and Western Conferences. The winners were Atlanta Hawks forward Jia Fei and Phoenix Suns guard Goran Dragic, respectively.
This is Jia Fei's first Player of the Week award since entering the NBA. After he was selected as an All-Star starter, many media people predicted that it was very likely that he would win Player of the Week or even Player of the Month in the near future.
By winning the Player of the Week award, Jia Fei successfully completed the task of "winning Player of the Week once." This task earned him a reward of 3000 points.
Adding the 4011 points he had in his account, he now has a total of 7011 points. He spent 6000 points to increase his "Iverson Peak Skill Integration" from 55% to 56%!
On February 5th, the Hawks narrowly lost at home to the Eastern Conference-leading Pacers, ending their five-game winning streak. This loss also compounded their woes by the injury to their starting center, Al Horford. Horford was injured during the game and will require a period of recovery. This further compounded the Hawks' already difficult situation.
In the following three games, they lost to the Hornets, Grizzlies and Bulls, suffering their longest losing streak of the season at four games.
After a four-game losing streak, their record stands at 33 wins and 17 losses, still ranking third in the Eastern Conference, but they are being closely chased by the Raptors and Bulls.
