NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 620 Saving the Iron King

After the game that night, Jia Fei remembered something important. He personally called the all-time leader in missed shots and told him he needed his help with something important the next day, asking him to wait for him in Los Angeles on the 25th and 26th.

Even the greatest blacksmith in history was a bit bewildered, but he still agreed.

Jia Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the first blacksmith king in history had an accident on January 26th. He thought that if he could prevent it from happening, it would be a way to repay the kindness of his mentor who taught him the technique.

After defeating the Hawks on the road, Jia Fei went straight back to Los Angeles and found a bewildered Kobe.

"Is something important?" Kobe asked curiously. He had originally planned to take his second daughter, Gianna, to training, but Jia Fei's request made him change his plans, and he had his driver take Gianna by car instead of her taking his helicopter.

"I still have a few questions about my fadeaway jump shot during the game, and I hope you can help me correct them!" Jia Fei said. He made this up, but he felt this white lie was necessary, and he figured Kobe wouldn't mind learning techniques from him!

Kobe was quite happy to hear this. Although he couldn't personally take his daughter to training, he was still very happy. Jia Fei is no ordinary person; he's the best basketball player in the world. For such a star to constantly hone his skills and personally take time out of his away game to ask him for advice gives him a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Everyone has some degree of vanity, and Kobe was no exception. He had absolute confidence in his skills and wasn't one to keep secrets; he was willing to teach his skills to young people. Jia Fei, already the best in the world, continued to improve his skills, and this humble attitude made him even more admirable. In his view, skill is endless; no matter how good someone is, they can't learn everything or master every technique. One can only strive to reach the pinnacle, and he himself was someone who loved to delve into the ultimate.

And so, the two trained for two whole days at Jia Fei's private training facility in Los Angeles. During this time, the Clippers, without Jia Fei, lost to the Heat on the road on the evening of the 25th, ending their seven-game winning streak.

There's been speculation about why Jia Fei didn't play in the game against the Heat, as various sources indicate he wasn't injured. The Clippers' official response was that he returned to Los Angeles for personal reasons. The media is wondering what personal matters he has – is he getting married?

However, the media's power is still strong. Soon, the details of Jia Fei's meeting with Kobe were dug up. But they didn't know what Jia Fei and Kobe had been doing these past two days. Were they learning Kobe's "iron tetroxide" forging technique again? But this is the middle of the season. Shouldn't learning such a supreme forging technique be something done during the off-season?

The media buzz did not affect Jia Fei, who flew to Orlando on the evening of the 26th to join the team.

The Clippers lost to the Heat on the road on the 25th, bringing their record to 42 wins and 5 losses, continuing to hold the top spot in the league.

On January 27, the Clippers played the Magic on the road.

After disappearing for two days, Jia Fei unleashed his full potential in this game, scoring a game-high 50 points and leading his team to a crushing victory over the Magic on the road...

P.S.: Magic: "What did I do to deserve this? Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

While the Magic's loss isn't necessarily a bad thing, being thrashed on home soil will inevitably affect morale and may cause resentment among home fans, impacting future game ticket sales. But there's nothing they can do; their strength simply doesn't allow it!

It's worth mentioning that Jia Fei used fadeaway jump shots to complete his attacks many times in this game. His posture is very similar to that of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers legend who recently retired. This makes people wonder if Kobe taught Jia Fei his skills during the two days that Jia Fei met with Kobe.

Kobe watched the entire game on TV in his spacious villa. Watching Jia Fei's fadeaway jumper, a slight smile crept onto his face. He was retired, but he still loved basketball and enjoyed seeing his skills passed on.

After defeating the Magic on the road, the Clippers ended their six-game road trip and returned to Los Angeles.

On January 29, the Clippers hosted the Lakers at home.

In this game, thanks to Jia Fei's triple-double, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Lakers at home, achieving their second consecutive victory.

On January 31, the NBA officially announced the final roster for the 2020 All-Star Game.

The 2020 NBA All-Star Game was the 69th NBA All-Star Game in history, and it was held in Chicago.

In fact, the starting lineup was announced on the 24th, and today's announcement is the full lineup.

The starting lineup for this year's All-Star Game is as follows:

Eastern Conference: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Pascal Siakam, Kemba Walker, Trae Young

Western Conference: Jia Fei, Running Man, Anthony Davis, James Harden, Stephen Curry

In comparison, the West far surpasses the East in both strength and reputation. The East really lacks superstars; it's astonishing that a player like Siakam is an All-Star starter. In the West, he wouldn't even make the roster.

The full list is as follows:

Eastern Conference: Trae Young, Kemba Walker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pascal Siakam, Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Ben Simmons, Khris Middleton, Jayson Tatum, Bam Adebayo, Domantas Sabonis

Western Conference: Jia Fei, Running Man, Anthony Davis, Harden, Curry, Poker, Lillard, Jokic, Klay Thompson, Westbrook, 58, Mitchell

The 2020 Chicago All-Star Town Game will be held in Chicago on February 17.

Since Kobe was fine, Jia Fei guessed that this year's All-Star Game wouldn't be changed at the last minute like in his previous life. But it didn't matter to him; he wasn't even interested in the All-Star MVP award anymore…

Of course, he was the top vote-getter again this time, but for him, being the top vote-getter is irrelevant; he doesn't care that much about it...

On the evening of the 31st, the Clippers will host the Kings.

Thanks to Jia Fei's 49 points in a single game, the Clippers defeated their opponent at home and achieved a three-game winning streak!

February has arrived...
