NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 594 It’s raining

After the timeout, the Warriors brought in Iguodala and Pullman, replacing Looney and Russell, and switched to a smaller lineup.

The Clippers made no personnel changes, and the game continued.

Russell looked somewhat dejected as he left the court; it truly was a case of "once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river." Back in his days with the Nets, he had unlimited shooting opportunities and an abundance of ball possession, which led him to believe he was already a superstar. When he was selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star reserve, he genuinely thought the Nets were his team entirely.

But when Durant refused to re-sign with the Warriors and chose the Nets, he was shocked to find that the team's management didn't hesitate at all when trading him. Because Durant specifically requested Kyrie Irving, and Irving is also a point guard, clearly the management felt he was far inferior to Irving…

At this point, concepts like "one player, one city" and "team loyalty" are meaningless... Therefore, loyalty is only worth discussing when it comes to superstars. Ordinary role players, or even near-All-Stars like Russell, are just bargaining chips in trades for true superstars.

So don't blame role players for prioritizing their size over team honors. After all, honors are good, but not having them isn't the end of the world for role players, since they've never really had a chance to be included in discussions about historical rankings anyway.

The Warriors' offense remains excellent. With Looney out, the team's offensive spacing isn't as congested. Although Green will still be left open, leaving Iguodala open is different from leaving Looney open. The former has shooting ability, just not very accurate, while the latter has absolutely no shooting ability and struggles to finish plays.

Although Iguodala is getting old, he can still pass the ball. He made a perfect pass to Curry at the top of the arc, helping the latter hit a three-pointer!

19:20, the Warriors have taken the lead again!

The cheers finally erupted at Chase Center. Ridley Scott is still awesome; only he can make such a reassuring three-pointer from that distance. If it had been Green who took that shot, they would have seriously considered grabbing the rebound or getting back on defense; it would have likely ended in a missed shot.

Jia Fei dribbled the ball over, and Klay Thompson took the lead in defending him. Klay was under pressure; Jia Fei was impressive, but allowing him to score so many points in a quarter made him, as the primary defender, responsible.

Previously, defending Jabeur was mainly Iguodala's job, but now Iguodala is getting older and his speed can't keep up, so his defensive effectiveness is not ideal. Therefore, Klay Thompson is now the main defender for Jabeur.

Klay was sticking close to Jia Fei. Jia Fei's three-pointer just now was terrifying, it was like he was on fire. We can't let him keep shooting like that. We have to stop him. We can't let the Chinese style get more and more arrogant. The American style is the best!

Jia Fei suddenly accelerated, forcing Clay to retreat continuously. Iguodala had already come to their aid, and it was clear they were going to double-team Jia Fei!

At that moment, Jia Fei suddenly stopped abruptly, stepped back to gather the ball, and released a three-pointer from a distance of more than one or two meters from the three-point line...

The fans at the stadium were completely dumbfounded. "You're going to shoot here? Do you think you're Stephen Curry?"

Clay was also dumbfounded, but he was surprised to find that Jia Fei's confident eyes and the smile on his lips after he made his move gave him a bad feeling!

Sure enough, the ball went into the net with a clean thud!

22-20, the Clippers continue their comeback!

Jia Fei has already scored 20 points in this quarter!

The Clippers' bench was ecstatic, with Art Mayor waving a towel wildly. Their joy contrasted sharply with the quiet atmosphere in the arena.

Warriors' offense: Curry was double-teamed, Green was left open, and the pass to Iguodala resulted in a mid-range shot that missed!

Olynyk grabs the rebound and passes to Jia Fei for a fast break!

Jia Fei made a fast break down the court, received the ball, made a crossover dribble, and then took a lateral step back, creating space for a three-pointer...

and also!

At 25:20, Jia Fei was completely unstoppable!

"Teacher Su, Jia Fei has made another three-pointer! His touch is amazing! I feel like he's going to make every shot now!" Wang Zixing exclaimed excitedly.

Su Qun was also unusually excited: "Yes, he's in such good form. I don't know how the Warriors are going to stop him when he's on such a hot streak!"

Warriors are on offense, Klay Thompson's jump shot is blocked by Dillon!

Dillon immediately passed the ball to Jia Fei!

Jia Fei received the ball and, under the watchful eyes of the fans, advanced towards the frontcourt.

Clay and Iguodala immediately flanked Jia Fei, focusing entirely on him and ignoring everyone else!

When Jia Fei was double-teamed, he drove hard from a point more than a step beyond the three-point line and fired a three-pointer...

Clay got a little carried away and slapped Jia Fei on the arm!

The referee's whistle blew, but the ball continued flying straight toward the basket...

"No! Don't let it go in!" A Warriors fan couldn't bear to watch anymore; he muttered to himself.

The ball finally went in; it was so hard!

28:20, the score difference has suddenly widened to 8 points, and Jia Fei is going to get an extra free throw!

"My God, 3+1!" This time it was Su Qun's turn to be excited. He hadn't expected Jia Fei to actually make it!

Jia Fei made the free throw, bringing his total to 27 points in the game, a new career high for points in a single quarter!

The Chase Center's big screen immediately displayed the NBA's all-time single-quarter scoring records, demonstrating the NBA's exceptional professionalism in statistical analysis.

The number one ranked player is none other than Klay Thompson, who is currently guarding Jia Fei. He scored 37 points in a single quarter against the Kings in the 2014-15 season!

The second-ranked player is Kevin Love from the 2016-17 season, who once scored 34 points in a single quarter!

排名第3的有两个人，分别是2008-09赛季的甜瓜安东尼和1977-78赛季的冰人格文，两人都是单节33分。

Jia Fei has already scored 27 points tonight, and there are still more than 5 minutes left in this quarter!

Klay is under the most pressure right now. His single-quarter scoring record is at risk of being broken, and he's the primary defender against Jia Fei. If the opponent breaks his record, he'll become the backdrop for that success again, which would be incredibly awkward...

The Warriors are still very strong. Curry drove to the basket against Bridges' defense and scored a 2+1, making the free throw and bringing the score to 29-23!

The Clippers also made substitutions, with Gallinari and Olynyk leaving and Kyle Anderson and Hart coming in!

The Clippers were on offense. Hart dribbled the ball across half-court, and Jia Fei was stuck to Klay like a piece of chewing gum or dog poop under his feet.

P.S.: Klay: "You're the shit! Your whole family is shit!"

Jia Fei used two off-ball screens to circle out, and Hart immediately passed the ball!

Jia Fei received the ball and, without any dribbling adjustments, immediately launched a three-pointer...

It feels like... how should I put it, a bit like shooting randomly, but you feel like it's going to go in!

The ball went in! 30 points in the quarter!

The rain kept falling, and the atmosphere wasn't very harmonious...
