Chapter 161 Best Friends Showdown
Teague inbounds the ball and passes it to Jia Fei!
Jia Fei dribbles the ball and faces Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, while Horford comes up to screen!
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's screen meant he also gave Jia Fei space to shoot!
Jia Fei smiled slightly, "So you've come to test my shooting skills too?"
He unleashed a powerful three-pointer from the top of the arc!
The ball swished through the basket! It was a three-pointer!
52:46, the score difference has widened to 6 points!
Art Mayork on the sidelines made an exaggerated gesture, as if he were using binoculars with both hands!
Michael Kidd looked a little embarrassed. He chose to go around the screen from below. If Jefferson didn't extend his reach, he would have to accept the opponent's three-point shot.
This was Jia Fei's first three-pointer of the game, and it was a huge blow to the Bobcats! The point difference went from 3 to 6 points, the team's morale plummeted, and it seemed like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was having some mental issues.
In the sports channel studio, Yu Jia exclaimed, "Jia Fei has excellent mental fortitude and a remarkable ability to read the game. When the opponent gave him a shooting opportunity, he decisively took the shot. It was a great three-point shooting opportunity!"
Su Qun nodded: "That was a decisive shot. Sometimes, the more decisive you are, the more likely you are to make the shot."
Kemba Walker dribbles the ball over and lobs it to Jefferson!
Jefferson drew a double team and then passed the ball to Kemba Walker!
Kemba Walker received the ball, pulled up for a quick three-pointer—and it went in!
52:49, the gap has been narrowed to 3 points! This shot was crucial, and Kemba Walker demonstrated excellent resilience under pressure!
The Bobcats fans at the Time Warner Center erupted in cheers; Kemba Walker clearly won them over more than the second overall pick, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Hawks are on offense, Korver comes out to receive the ball!
Jia Fei makes a weak-side cut!
Korver immediately passed the ball to Jia Fei, who took a step and drove to the basket. Facing Al Jefferson's defense, he ignored him and slammed the ball over Jefferson's head with one hand!
Wow--
This dunk perfectly showcased Jia Fei's off-ball awareness, speed, explosiveness, and leaping ability. Clearly, even disregarding shooting ability, in terms of off-ball movement alone, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is no match for him!
Jordan, sitting on the sidelines, didn't look pleased. The better Jia Fei played, the more it slapped him in the face. He remembered how easily Jordan could have simply nodded and let the team acquire Jia Fei with a second-round pick, without even having to bleed any money. Now, even if he offered the second overall pick, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, to trade for Jia Fei, Hawks general manager Danny Ferry wouldn't answer the phone.
You ignored me then, but now you can't afford to associate with me.
Jordan would never admit to misjudging someone. How could the God of Basketball be wrong? This is a man with a 100% winning percentage in the Finals! This kind of man is perfect and cannot be criticized by ordinary fans.
Kemba Walker dribbled over, used his skillful ball handling to pull up and shoot a jumper, scoring his own goal!
Jia Fei and Kemba Walker are going head-to-head! Best buddies going head-to-head!
The games are definitely getting more and more exciting!
Jia Fei felt that the Bobcats were much stronger this season than last season. The team had a variety of offensive weapons, including a powerful low-post scorer and a pick-and-roll specialist on the perimeter. Although Michael Kidd-Gilchrist wasn't very effective offensively, his defense was actually quite good.
The two teams still couldn't pull away from each other.
The score remained close until the final quarter, and in the crucial moments, the Hawks' defense outperformed the Bobcats, ultimately securing a narrow victory.
The Hawks narrowly defeated the Bobcats on the road, securing their second consecutive win.
贾飞全场比赛出战36分22秒,17投7中,其中3分球3投1中,罚球6罚5中,得到20分16个篮板2次助攻3个抢断1个盖帽,表现非常出色。
36 minutes and 22 seconds set a new record for Jia Fei's longest playing time in a single game since entering the NBA, and 16 rebounds were his highest single-game rebounding record!
After the game, Jia Fei and Kemba Walker embraced tightly. They were opponents on the court, but best friends off the court.
Jia Fei gave an interview after the match.
When asked by a reporter if he was still upset that the Bobcats hadn't drafted him, he shook his head. "I'm not upset. I just feel a little regretful because I really wanted to play with Kemba."
When asked by a reporter about the widespread online rumors that the Thunder's offer of a contract was disrespectful, he shook his head, saying, "They didn't disrespect me! There are other reasons why they didn't offer me a contract. They didn't re-sign Kevin Martin either, and they didn't offer anyone a big contract in the offseason. I'm still grateful to the Thunder; they gave me the opportunity. It's just that I might not be a good fit there anymore. I wish them all the best, and I will become better too!"
Of course, Jia Fei couldn't speak ill of his ex. Regardless of whether she was good or bad, he couldn't publicly say anything negative about them. Whether his ex was a mistake or a source of regret, she couldn't be just some nobody. A clean break was best; this alliance was small, and he couldn't afford to get himself caught in a media storm.
After the game, Jordan would naturally be dragged out by the media for their "routine self-criticism," which is standard practice.
Many people seem blind to Jia Fei's obvious talent. Are they pretending not to see it, or are their minds truly filled with prejudice that has blinded them?
Hawks fans are happy; they see hope in the team, a united and young team with a bright future.
After defeating the Bobcats on the road, the Hawks players stayed another night in Charlotte.
After Jia Fei went to his room and went to sleep, he logged into the system to check his task progress. "Rebound 15 times in a single regular season game"—he had completed that task!
Jia Fei received a reward of 2000 points. He then checked his anger level and found a pleasant surprise: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 8 anger points against him, Coach Crawford had 2, Al Jefferson had 4 anger points after being dunked on by him, the "God of Basketball" had 7, and the other "utility players" had a combined 4.
With a total of 25 Fury Points, Jia Fei exchanged them for 2500 points.
He earned a total of 4500 points in this match, and with the 1185 points he already had in his account, he now has a total of 5685 points.
Jia Fei spent 5000 points to increase his "Iverson Peak Skill Integration" from 41% to 42%!
After redeeming his reward, he entered the task system and accepted a new task: "Get 20 rebounds in a single regular season game." He didn't know if he could ultimately complete this task, but he had already completed the 15-rebound task, so how far away could the 20-rebound task be?
Breaking his personal record on the road and bringing home a victory, Jia Fei should have been extremely happy. But Sharapova seemed a little grumpy these past two days; she wouldn't say anything when asked. He thought she might be on her period, but after calculating, it didn't seem like that.
He was quite speechless. This was also why he sometimes disliked dating; women's minds were indeed hard to fathom. No matter how strong a woman was, she could be completely unreasonable when she lost her temper.
It seems that she still needs to have a job. Even a woman like Sharapova, who is involved in sports, can get inexplicably angry. Ultimately, it's because she's currently unemployed and undergoing rehabilitation. Over time, it's inevitable that she'll start overthinking.
