NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 387 Yan Ye Hat

Randall glared at Jia Fei with his large, bell-like eyes, trying to get into a fight, but was immediately separated by Bever using his body to block him.

Jia Fei didn't even look at Randall. "You think you can outmaneuver me?"

Art Mayork, on the Clippers' bench, had already stood up and even taken off his shirt. If Randle really tried anything to get physical with Jia Fei, he would be the first to rush up and beat him up.

Jia Fei stepped up to the free-throw line and easily made the extra free throw!

7-3, the Clippers lead by 4 point!

The Lakers were on offense. Russell was dribbling with his mouthguard clenched, and it looked a bit awkward. Anyone who looked closely could see that he was dribbling with his toes pointing inwards. How should I put it, it looked like a woman's.

Russell was having a tough time under Beverley's tight defense.

Nick Young kept calling for the ball, he wanted to get back at them, and he hadn't even taken any shots yet. As the starter who considered himself the best scorer, he didn't have the ball in his hands. Did you guys really think of him as a pure defensive player?

Using golden chopsticks to crack eggs, how ridiculous!

Russell passed the ball to Nick Young.

Nick Young receives the ball and faces Jia Fei! He even signals to his teammates to spread out, as he wants to go one-on-one with Jia Fei.

The Staples Center immediately buzzed with excitement as the fearless young hero Yang was about to solo Jia Fei, which was certainly something to watch.

Jia Fei certainly wouldn't back down. Knowing Yang Shaoxia as he did, this guy's confidence was comparable to Black Snake's; in this respect, even the Running Man cast couldn't compare. Some people might not be the strongest, but you never need to worry about their confidence, because they're always absolutely certain of themselves!

"You can't defend against me at all!" Nick Young's smile was full of confidence, and that smile was really lethal. Jia Fei had no doubt that this confident smile could win over many girls.

But sorry, I'm a guy!

"Then... let's give it a try!" Jia Fei said with a playful expression, even winking at Nick Young.

Nick Young took a probing step, attempting to shift his opponent's weight.

Jia Fei remained unmoved, refusing to adopt a stance with either his left or right leg forward, thus obscuring his defensive intentions. He had watched numerous Nick Young game videos and had faced him before, possessing a certain understanding of this scorer. Nick Young's ball-handling ability was decent for a shooting guard, capable of shooting from anywhere in the half-court. He could take difficult shots—fadeback, turnaround, even with a sideways stance—and the more difficult the shot, the more confident he became. However, a closer look at his games revealed that he rarely attacked the rim; aside from fast breaks, over 80% of his offense in half-court sets ended in a shot.

In other words, Nick Young isn't good at attacking the rim; he's fundamentally a jump shooter. Besides his playing style, another important reason for this is that his first step isn't quick, and his explosiveness is average. In this respect, he's somewhat similar to JR Smith.

JR's first step isn't fast either, even though he's really good at jumping.

Swingers who can both drive and shoot either have a quick first step, like McGrady, Kobe, and Grant Hill, or excellent footwork or a strong physique, like Carter, Bao Pi, and Runner.

Nick Young, however, doesn't fall into this category. These types of players rarely become unstoppable scorers because they have obvious weaknesses. They are the X-factor, best suited for the second unit to pick up the scoring opportunities. Their success depends entirely on their shooting touch that night.

Nick Young saw that Jia Fei remained unmoved by his probing step. After faking a shot, his opponent still didn't move. Although he didn't dare to be careless, he still wanted to catch him off guard. He faked a drive and then suddenly pulled up for a three-pointer from beyond the arc!

Goodness, that was a pull-up jumper!

But Nick Young quickly regretted it, because his opponent, despite being a latecomer, arrived first, and his excellent speed and wingspan completely blocked his shooting space!

With the ball already on the string, Nick Young had no choice but to shoot, but his shot was blocked by the opponent! He couldn't get close enough to his opponent and instead got blocked himself!

That wasn't the end of it. The ball was rolling towards the Lakers' backcourt. Jia Fei landed and immediately sprinted forward, as were the others. But at that moment, the difference in speed became very apparent.

Jia Fei rushed to the front and actually caught up with the ball!

Good heavens, a person can actually run as fast as a ball!

"Oh my god, Jia Fei caught up with the ball, Bang—Jia Fei completed a windmill dunk! He treated the Christmas Day game like a dunk contest!" Mike Breen's passionate commentary vividly recreated the scene of the game.

Mark Jackson, standing nearby, exclaimed, "I could never catch a ball like that in my entire life!"

Mike Brin teased, "Mark, of course you can't catch him, his ass is too big!"

"Hahaha, that's right, the only thing I'm better at than Jia Fei is that my ass is bigger!" Mark Jackson started to make fun of himself.

The Lakers called a timeout at 9-3!

From 2-3 to 9-3, the Lakers were hit with a 7-0 run, and all 7 points were scored by Jia Fei. He seemed to be playing with great ease.

Lakers head coach Walton, holding a tactical board and dressed in a suit, looked very gentlemanly and handsome. Many Lakers fans expected him to become the second young coach in the NBA to rival Stevens. But judging from Jia Fei's previous life, how could he compare to Stevens?

Walton was just a role player during his playing days, and he was nowhere near as good as his great father. So becoming a coach was his only chance to surpass his father, which he cherished. He felt that he had already learned the essence from Steve Kerr.

Nick Young looked somewhat resentful. He had just been blocked by Jia Fei, a first for him in front of the home crowd. He was unwilling, but he had to admit that Jia Fei was truly strong. He had underestimated this man; this guy was even stronger than during his MVP season, ridiculously strong!

Lakers fans are incredibly envious of Jia Fei. If possible, could they package Randle, Russell, Ingram, and future draft picks together, and trade all of the team's future assets for Jia Fei?

YY (a Chinese internet slang term for fantasizing) is not a crime, but Jia Fei (a player) is just too tempting. What kind of magic potion did Ballmer give him to make this MVP superstar willing to join the Clippers, a team with no history of success? Jim Buss is truly garbage; what is he doing? And what the hell is General Manager Kupchak doing? Look at the trash he's brought in! Mozgov, a player who couldn't even get playing time in the Cavaliers' Finals, and you're giving him such a huge contract; Luol Deng, what era of stardom is he? Giving him such a huge contract, isn't that just being a sucker? Is there really no one else on the free agent market?
