Chapter 740 Five Pairs Attack
This Warriors team is obviously not comparable to the super team of yesteryear. Even at his worst, Durant is still no match for Wiggins' ability to draw fouls. And Iguodala's all-around game is unmatched by Payton. As for Curry, Thompson, and Curry, they are not the same players they once were. Of the three, Curry's decline is the least, but even he has declined compared to his prime.
Their opponents, the Clippers, are stronger than before. Jia Fei has become a world-class player, their role player roster is better, their defense has almost no weaknesses, and their bench depth is extremely formidable. In some ways, the gap between the two teams has widened.
Jia Fei's presence disrupted the Warriors' pick-and-roll offense. The Clippers, in turn, effectively limited the Splash Brothers by leaving Green and Payton open, hindering their passing and cutting game. The Clippers' transition defense was too quick, making it extremely difficult for them to create scoring opportunities in transition. The Warriors were completely shut down, with little hope in sight.
Compared to the Timberwolves being contained, the Warriors aren't necessarily much better off. The Timberwolves at least have an advantage at the center position, and their interior offense is better than the Clippers'. The Warriors, on the other hand, have no offensive capability inside and rely entirely on their perimeter players, while the Clippers happen to be the strongest perimeter defense team in the entire NBA.
In the first quarter, the Clippers used an unstoppable defense to freeze the Warriors' offense. The Warriors had no choice but to bring in the offensively capable Pu Er, but Jia Fei and Paul George relentlessly attacked him, giving him no chance to breathe.
This is the playoffs, a playoff full of strategic maneuvering!
首节快船就仿佛要把比赛打没的感觉，贾飞首节就贡献10分5个篮板3次助攻3个抢断6个盖帽，简直无所不在。
The Clippers lead by 13 points at 16:29, a very clear advantage.
However, in the second quarter, after Jia Fei went to the bench for a rest, the Warriors suddenly went on an offensive run. Pu Er suddenly erupted, scoring 10 points in a row with drives and shots, helping the Warriors close the gap to just 5 points.
Jia Fei took to the court again, personally guarding Pu'er and relentlessly targeting him on offense until he completely dominated the young player, helping the team regain a 10-point lead.
但库里在第2节末连中3记3分球，在中场结束的时候将比分追至47:56！
贾飞半场贡献23分8个篮板6次助攻5个抢断7个盖帽，表现极为炸裂。
Intermission.
"Mr. Su, do you think the Warriors still have a chance to turn things around in the second half?" Wang Zixing asked.
Su Qun adjusted his glasses and replied, "I think it will be very difficult. Pu Er had a breakout game in the first half, and Curry's shooting touch also improved, but they were still behind. The Warriors' offense couldn't form a system, and they scored less than 50 points in the first half. It will be difficult for them to win in the second half."
The Warriors' offense still couldn't get going in the third quarter; their starting lineup's offensive capabilities were simply too limited. Wiggins isn't Durant; he doesn't have the ability to average 30 points per game. His ability is around 18 points per game—any more would be overkill and likely have to be paid back in the next game. Against the Clippers' defense, he'd be doing very well just to average out; you can't expect too much. As for Green, you can tell the shot clock is running out when you see him start sticking out his back for three-pointers.
Klay Thompson is still the indomitable Buddha, but he's not the Buddha he used to be. We haven't seen him in Game 6 for a long time because he's been battling the Clippers, who often struggle in Game 6...
Kerr is also very conflicted. Playing Payton can improve defense, but the offense is often left open; playing Pullman can improve offense, but the team's defense deteriorates, and they are constantly targeted, which is painful to watch. He misses the days when he had a maxed-out Warriors team and could show off, but those good days are gone. Now, showing off only leads to being slapped in the face, and he has no ability to fight back.
Pu'er really put up a good show. He was substituted in the second half, and although he was targeted and brought to his knees on defense by Jia Fei, he dominated Hart on offense. He scored 14 points in the first half and 14 points in the second half, for a team-high 28 points, which shows his hard work.
Unfortunately, the other side had Gundams, and they were outmatched in skill.
Even with Pu'er's outburst, the Clippers still managed to limit the Warriors' total score to under 100 points throughout the game. Considering the Warriors' offense, scoring less than 100 points is certainly not considered adequate. As for their defense, it's no secret that they couldn't stop their opponents; there's a clear talent gap, and Jia Fei couldn't guard anyone—that's a fact.
The Clippers defeated the Warriors 96-107 at home, winning the first game of the series.
贾飞本场比赛表现出色，全场贡献38分17个篮板12次助攻10个抢断11个盖帽，完成了令人震惊的“5双”！
This is only the second time in NBA history that someone has recorded a 5-double, and that person is Jia Fei!
In this game, Jia Fei not only set a new record for his single-game blocks in the NBA playoffs (his previous record was 8), but he also contributed one of only two 5-doubles in the NBA!
How difficult is it to get a 5-double in the NBA? In the decades-long history of the NBA, very few people have achieved a 4-double, let alone a 5-double.
Moreover, this is in the playoffs. In the NBA playoffs, it is much harder to get a triple-double than in the regular season, but Jia Fei actually got a 5-double in this game!
After the game, all the news was about Jia Fei's 5-double. Many people no longer cared about the result of the game, because the Clippers defeated the Warriors at home, which was not worth paying attention to. It was just a normal occurrence and a normal result.
在70多年的NBA历史中，在贾飞之前，只有一个球员拿到过“5双”！这个人是张伯伦，在1968年的一场比赛中，张伯伦怒砍53分、32板、14助、24帽和11断的超级5双。联盟直到1973-74赛季才开始记录盖帽和抢断，所以张伯伦的纪录在当时并未被官方认证。
So from this perspective, Jia Fei can be considered the first player officially recognized by the NBA to achieve a 5-double!
For Jia Fei, five doubles doesn't mean much; it's just one of his many records. His goal isn't to achieve five or six doubles; it's the championship. He cares more about the process and result of the game than the statistics. For him, statistics are too insignificant in enhancing his historical standing compared to winning the championship.
For a star player of his caliber, statistics are too insignificant in improving his historical standing; they can only serve as a seasoning, not a main course.
On May 6th, Game 2 of the Clippers vs. Warriors series continued at the Clippers' home arena, Intuit Dome.
The Warriors made a lineup change for this game, with Okon Porter Jr. starting and Payton Jr. returning to the bench. Clearly, leaving Payton Jr. open in the previous game hampered the Warriors' offense, prompting them to adjust their lineup to address their offensive issues.
