Chapter 459 Single-handedly chasing points
Jia Fei made the free throw, making it 31-48, a 17-point difference.
Kemba Walker brought the ball over, broke through with the help of Kaminsky's screen, and passed to Lamb on the weak side.
Lamb's hands were burning with excitement, and Jia Fei personally came to keep an eye on him.
Lamb is a pure scorer with explosive scoring ability. He's not a combo guard like CJ McCollum or Bradley Beal; he's more focused on scoring, somewhat like Nick Young. However, if you start him, his defense isn't good enough, and his offense isn't particularly consistent. This type of player is better suited to the second unit, as an X-factor. If he's on fire, he'll dominate; if he's not, he'll take fewer shots and have shorter offensive minutes.
Lamb was also getting fired up when facing Jia Fei. He wasn't afraid of Jia Fei, even though he knew the guy in front of him might be the strongest player in the league. But they knew each other too well, so it wasn't really a matter of fear.
Lamb wasn't going to pass the ball anymore; he wanted to prove himself, and the person in front of him was the best way to demonstrate his offensive ability.
Lamb made a series of changes of direction, and Jia Fei kept his center of gravity low, keeping his feet close to avoid being left behind, while using his excellent wingspan and better physical qualities to squeeze the opponent's offensive space.
Lamb wasn't particularly strong physically; he looked like a smaller player next to Jia Fei. Seeing he couldn't shake him off, he opted for a pull-up jumper.
But Jia Fei still managed to interfere; Lamb had already acted very quickly, but he was still disrupted.
The ball missed, but Art Mayok fought hard to secure the rebound.
Art Mayork passed the ball to Jia Fei, who then carried it over to face Maiji.
Maiji was on high alert. He said he was unhappy with the other party and didn't like him, but his body language told a different story. The pressure Jia Fei was putting on him was immense. The sweat on his forehead and the tension in his body didn't lie.
But unexpectedly, the ball in Jia Fei's hand suddenly disappeared...
Before Michael Kidd-Gilchrist could react, a gasp of amazement erupted from the crowd, followed by the crisp sound of a dunk. Clearly, they had scored…
Jia Fei's no-look pass went directly to his teammate Gallinari, who was cutting to the basket, assisting him in completing a dunk!
Who says a super scorer can't have unstoppable passing skills? Jia Fei's skill points aren't just allocated to one-on-one play; his ball-handling ability has always been so strong that even Magic Johnson gives him a thumbs up.
33:48, the Clippers scored two consecutive baskets, narrowing the gap from 20 points to 15 points.
The Hornets fans in the stands felt a little uneasy. Although the score difference was still 15 points, it was only the first half. To think that the home team would definitely win at this point was too simplistic.
Kemba Walker dribbled the ball over, reminding his teammates to stay focused, not to be intimidated by the opponent's scoring, and to get the ball in first to stabilize the situation. As a point guard, he is indeed a very good commander, calm and decisive, not stubborn or impulsive.
The Clippers have clearly increased their defensive intensity. Coach Buden kept Art Mayok on the court to improve the defensive intensity. As long as the opponent doesn't play Howard, I won't play Olynyk.
Olynyk's presence was designed for big centers, while Art Mayork made the team's defense even better.
Kemba Walker tried to pull up for a mid-range jumper after a screen, but he couldn't get a shot off!
Art Mayork held firm under the basket, grabbing the rebound once again!
Kaminsky is really bad at rebounding! Not only is his positioning terrible, but his jumping ability and explosiveness are also lacking. When he encounters someone who is tough and strong, he can only stand there and watch his opponent's armpit odor!
The camera immediately focused on former DPOY Dwight Howard sitting on the Hornets' bench. Many fans were wondering why Coach Crawford hadn't brought Howard in yet. His interior defense was getting wrecked, and he wasn't getting a single rebound. Why not let the old "Superman" boost the team's presence in the paint?
"Teacher Ma, do you think the Hornets should bring Howard in?" Wang Zixing asked.
"It should be about time now. We didn't substitute him earlier because Kaminsky was making a lot of three-pointers. He was in such good form offensively, so there was no reason to take him out immediately. NBA head coaches have a lot to consider, including the players' emotions. If you just take someone out, they'll be unhappy!" Ma Jian explained earnestly.
Jia Fei dribbled the ball and initiated a transition. Near the three-point line on the left wing, he made a strong drive, then pulled back between his legs and immediately unleashed a three-pointer without any hesitation!
The ball flew straight toward the basket, and the Hornets fans in the arena held their breath. "Please, please don't let it go in!" "Thank God!"
The ball went into the net, and the Hornets immediately called a timeout!
36:48，一波8:0的攻击波，瞬间将分差从20分缩小到12分！贾飞6分1助攻，完美主导了这波小高潮。
After hitting the three-pointer, Jia Fei made a "shut up" gesture towards Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, leaving the latter seething with anger but helpless. In terms of offensive skill, even if Kidd-Gilchrist trained for another 10 years, he might not be able to reach half of the other's level. What's even more unacceptable to him is that he was the second overall pick, while the man opposite him was only a second-round pick.
It's like you're a top student who graduated from Tsinghua or Peking University, a provincial champion back then, but now you're completely outclassed by an ordinary undergraduate in the industry. You would find it hard to accept that.
The scene was somewhat quiet now, and Jordan looked slightly annoyed, chewing his gum faster. Meanwhile, Dwight Howard was secretly delighted, seeing his chance had come again.
The timeout ended, and as expected, Kaminsky and Lamb were substituted out, while Howard and Pippen came on.
The Clippers did not make any changes and maintained the same lineup.
Kemba Walker brought the ball over, used a screen to drive hard to the basket, and drew a foul from his old buddy Art Mayok!
Kemba Walker played with a bit of suicidal intensity, crashing hard to the ground, and Art Mayork kindly helped him up.
Kemba Walker stepped up to the free-throw line and made one of two shots, finally breaking the Hornets' scoring drought.
Beverley dribbled over and passed the ball to Jia Fei.
Art Mayork came up to set a screen, and Dwight Howard was drawn out!
Jia Fei dribbled the ball inwards, then suddenly crouched down and accelerated, almost passing right under the ribs of the monster!
The speed is too fast. Not to mention the current Warcraft, even he back in the Magic days couldn't keep up!
Jia Fei drove straight to the basket and, facing Batum who came to help defend, easily scored with a Euro step layup!
38:49, a difference of 11 points!
The Hornets were on offense. Dwight Howard received the ball in the low post and tried to force his way past Art Mayok, but Jia Fei, who came over to help defend, stole the ball!
Jia Fei stole the ball and launched a counterattack. He brought the ball over and faced the retreating Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. He used a backheel to completely fool the opponent and drove straight in. He took off near the free-throw line and completed a stunning gliding dunk!
