Chapter 698 There's Nothing Jia Fei Can't Do
Olynyk and Dillon were booed, while the rest of the Clippers were not, which shows that Bucks fans still have a clear sense of right and wrong.
The two men showed no reaction whatsoever when they were booed. They were villains to begin with, so being booed meant nothing to them; it only fueled the fire burning within them.
Dillon has the ball and passes it to Jia Fei in the corner after a screen!
Jia Fei received the ball and, threatening three opponents, took a three-pointer—and it went in!
7-1, Jia Fei scored 7 consecutive points at the start, and the Clippers had a dream start!
Brook Lopez dropped to the low post to attack Grant, raised his arm high, and hit a hook shot, making it 7-3!
Jia Fei dribbled over, got double-teamed with the help of a screen, and passed to Olynyk at the top of the key!
Olynyk aimed for a three-pointer, but missed!
Dillon grabbed the offensive rebound, but his strong drive was blocked by Giannis Antetokounmpo!
Grant's powerful shot bounced up again, but Holiday interfered – missed!
but……
Jia Fei flew into the air, grabbed the ball with both hands, and slammed it into the basket!
9-3, all 9 of the Clippers' points came from Jia Fei! He's showing the world that even without Paul George, he can still lead his team to victory against the Bucks!
"Jia Fei is amazing! Teacher Su, Jia Fei has already scored 9 points! My goodness, is there anything he can't do?" Wang Zixing said with an expression of admiration.
With a smile, Su Qun adjusted his glasses and said, "In this game, the Clippers' offense will rely on Jia Fei. As long as the others can seize open opportunities and perform well on defense, the Clippers have a greater chance of winning."
The Bucks were on offense. Giannis Antetokounmpo was posted up against Kelly Olynyk and drove hard, drawing a foul from Olynyk!
Olynyk committed two fouls in less than four minutes and had to leave the game.
Olynyk out, Hartenstein in!
The Bucks inbounded the ball in the frontcourt, Giannis continued his drive, charging in and knocking Grant down. His strong move was blocked by Hartenstein!
Dillon gets the ball and passes it to Jia Fei to advance!
Jia Fei pushed forward, and when he got close to the three-point line, he made a fake Buddha move, accelerated, got past DiVincenzo, drove to the basket, jumped, dodged Giannis's block in mid-air, and scored with a layup!
11-3, Jia Fei scored all 11 points for the Clippers, his offensive performance was explosive!
The Bucks have taken a timeout!
Actually, Coach Li didn't call a timeout; it was the team's lead assistant coach, Tyronn Lue, who did. Coach Li had been shouting "Comeon!" from the sidelines, but he just didn't know how to call a timeout. When Tyronn Lue requested a timeout, he looked completely bewildered. Did they expect him to call a timeout when the opponent was leading?
"Olynyk has committed two fouls. Although the Clippers are leading, their foul problem cannot be ignored!" Wang Zixing expressed his concern.
“It doesn’t matter if Olynyk commits a lot of fouls, as long as Jia Fei doesn’t have foul trouble. The Clippers’ defense is better when Hartenstein is on the court. Hartenstein’s rebounding and shot blocking are also better than Olynyk’s. He just can’t shoot three-pointers,” Su Qun explained.
After the timeout, the game resumed.
After the Bucks called a timeout, they started double-teaming Jia Fei. They not only double-teamed him with pick-and-rolls, but they also double-teamed him as soon as he dribbled into half-court, forcing him to pass the ball.
Jia Fei passes the ball quickly, and Grant, Dillon, and Bridges all have some ball-handling ability, which allows the ball to move around normally.
Although Hartenstein couldn't create space beyond the three-point line or pull Brook Lopez to the vicinity of the three-point line, his screens were of very high quality. Brook Lopez kept retreating, allowing the Clippers to use his screens to shoot three-pointers.
When Brook Lopez comes out, Hartenstein can aggressively cut to the basket for easy layups and attack the rim, using his speed advantage to drive to the basket.
Hartenstein's energy brought back the Clippers' long-lost inside athleticism and passion. At this moment, all five Clippers players on the court were extremely athletic and their defense was also good, making it very difficult for the Bucks to score.
The Bucks also changed their lineup, bringing in Portis.
Grant quickly picked up two fouls for the Clippers, and Lee Kyle came in, maintaining the five-forward lineup.
Scoring was difficult for both sides. With the addition of Li Ke'er, the Clippers were able to coordinate with Jia Fei, who started playing off-ball, making it very difficult for the Bucks to double-team them.
When it came to the transition, the Bucks brought in Brook Lopez, along with Jeff Teague, Connaughton, Forbes, and Tucker, while the Clippers had Ricky Lee, Hartenstein, Brunson, Hart, and Bridges, with Villanova's three musketeers all taking the stage.
The Clippers have the advantage; Jeff Teague simply can't stop Brunson, proving Brunson's ability once again.
At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led by 8 points, 32-24.
贾飞首节就砍下15分4个篮板3次助攻1个抢断1个盖帽，表现极为炸裂。
In the second quarter, the Bucks continued to defend Jia Fei tightly, double-teaming him. He dished out 5 assists in the quarter, and the Clippers hit 6 three-pointers in the quarter.
At halftime, the Clippers led the Bucks by 14 points, 60-46.
贾飞半场得到20分6个篮板8次助攻2个抢断1个盖帽，表现继续炸裂。
Intermission.
"Teacher Su, do you think the Bucks should continue to double-team Jia Fei?" Wang Zixing asked.
Su Qun adjusted his glasses and said, "It's definitely a 'choose one out of two poisons' situation. Jia Fei is in excellent offensive form, and his teammates are also having a good shooting night. The Bucks must resolutely implement one of their strategies and also hope for luck. In addition to defense, the Bucks' own offense needs to be effective. With Middleton out, the other players need to step up their game."
The third quarter began quickly.
The Bucks initiated the attack.
Giannis Antetokounmpo receives the ball on the right wing and creates a three-man threat.
But his triple threat move was a bit ugly, so Olynyk couldn't help but tease him: "Stop messing around with this. You'll just be driving in anyway, so what's the point of making these ugly moves?"
These words clearly provoked Giannis Antetokounmpo. He has always considered himself a well-rounded, ball-handling forward, comparable only to a peak-era runner. To be mocked by a role player like this is simply outrageous.
Giannis Antetokounmpo pulled up for a powerful jump shot...
As a result, the ball hit the backboard directly, without even touching the rim...
Jia Fei grabbed the rebound and launched a counter-attack!
Olynyk received a pass from Jia Fei in the left corner of the frontcourt and calmly sank a three-pointer!
After sinking that three-pointer, he arrogantly shrugged at Giannis Antetokounmpo, as if to say – shooting is that simple, it's a shame you can't do it!
Giannis Antetokounmpo is on fire. He received the ball and drove straight to the basket, knocking Olynyk down. Fortunately, the referee intervened and called a blocking foul on Olynyk.
Coach Buden was furious. Olynyk was clearly positioned perfectly on that play!
The referee gave Coach Budenholzer a technical foul, and then Giannis Antetokounmpo took the technical free throw, only to miss...
Giannis Antetokounmpo was about to go to the free-throw line when Kelly Olynyk quipped, "Basketball doesn't lie. Someone committed an offensive foul and will miss both free throws immediately!"
This statement is highly sarcastic and indirectly criticizes the subject.
