NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 590 A villain needs another villain to deal with him

Paul George did not travel with the team to the Bay Area; he stayed in Los Angeles to recover from his injury.

This game was naturally broadcast live across the United States, and everyone wanted to see how the two teams were doing after the offseason.

Judging from the first game, the Clippers were in good form, defeating the Lakers who had the "Running Man" and "Anthony Davis". Jia Fei, who helped the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup, showed no signs of fatigue and still looked energetic.

Chase Center was packed to capacity, just like Staples Center. The Warriors have an excellent market, and their team value ranks among the top 3 of the 30 NBA teams.

The match was a practice session before the game, which was broadcast live on Tencent, with commentators Wang Zixing and guest Su Qun providing commentary.

"Teacher Su, with Paul George out for this game, will the Clippers have a tough time facing the Warriors at home?" Wang Zixing asked.

Su Qun adjusted his glasses and said slowly, "George's absence will definitely have an impact on the Clippers. He's not only the team's second-leading scorer, but also a key defender on the wing. It remains to be seen whether the other Clippers players can provide more support for Jia Fei."

"Teacher Su, who do you think will replace Paul George in the starting lineup?" Wang Zixing asked.

“Logically, it should be Dillon, but it could also be Bridges,” Su Qun replied.

The starting lineups for both teams have been announced.

The Warriors' starting lineup, playing at home, consisted of Curry, Russell, Klay Thompson, Green, and Looney.

The Clippers' starting lineup for the away game is Jia Fei, Beverley, Dillon, Gallinari, and Olynyk.

The two teams have met in the playoffs for the past three seasons, and their familiarity with each other is so high that it's an exceptionally exciting situation in the NBA.

Olynyk and Rooney are preparing for the jump ball near the center circle; the match is about to begin.

The jump ball began, and Looney won the jump ball against Olynyk, giving the Warriors possession of the ball on the first offensive possession.

Curry dribbled the ball across half-court and passed it to Green at the high post.

Green sets up the ball high, and Curry and Klay use off-ball screens to make quick runs.

Beverley relentlessly pursued Curry, while Dillon chased Klay relentlessly.

Jia Fei was tasked with defending Russell, who didn't like moving off the ball and preferred to attack with the ball himself.

Green failed to make his run and was left wide open, resulting in a furious missed shot!

Olynyk retrieved the rebound and handed it to Jia Fei to push forward.

Jia Fei had the ball at the high post, facing Klay Thompson. Beverley came over to screen, allowing him to call out Curry.

Beverley's screen was poor, and the pick-off was unsuccessful.

Jia Fei indicated that it wasn't necessary; for him, playing against Curry and playing against Klay were not much different.

Jia Fei dribbles past an opponent, stops abruptly, pulls the ball between his legs, and then breaks through again before passing to Gallinari in the corner!

Gallinari missed a three-point attempt!

Green gets the rebound, dribbles up the court, and passes to Curry on a fast break!

Curry receives the ball and launches a long-range three-pointer—it goes in easily!

Clippers on offense, Dillon misses a three-pointer!

The Warriors launched another counterattack, and Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer!

0-6, the Clippers are down at the start!

The Clippers' offense didn't start well; they failed to score a single point in the first three minutes.

The Warriors, on the other hand, had a great shooting touch. Not only did the Splash Brothers hit three-pointers, but Russell also hit a difficult three-pointer against Jia Fei's defense!

0:11, the Clippers are down by 11 points on the road!

Coach Buden called a timeout, and the crowd erupted in cheers!

Warriors fans' hatred for the Clippers is obvious. If it weren't for the Clippers' rise, they might have won three consecutive championships and established a dynasty. But now, with such a great roster, they've only won one title, and Kevin Durant, who joined them, left in a huff, only to be replaced by D'Angelo Russell.

D'Angelo Russell is a liability for the Warriors. They already have the Splash Brothers, so they don't need a half-baked ball-handler and shooter like Russell. What they need is a two-way forward like Kevin Durant.

The culprit behind this embarrassing situation is Jia Fei.

So today, whenever Jia Fei touched the ball, the crowd erupted in boos. Warriors fans hate this guy more than the Running Man cast, because his presence has cost the team a chance to build a dynasty.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!

After the timeout, the game resumed.

Beverley brought the ball over and passed it to Olynyk in the high post!

After using a screen, Jia Fei made an off-ball run and suddenly cut inside like a ghost!

Olynyk's pass was perfectly timed!

Jia Fei received the ball, faked a shot with one hand, accelerated and cut inside, facing Green under the basket, and then switched hands in mid-air to score!

2:11, more than three minutes into the game, the Clippers finally scored!

This was quite a difficult play; Green's defense was excellent. If it weren't for Jia Fei's superb hang time, the opponent would have already defended it perfectly.

Jia Fei didn't show much excitement after scoring; he appeared quite calm.

Green wanted to add fuel to the fire...

"Without PG, you guys are just a pile of shit!" Green said, firing off his big mouth.

"Without the Water Splash Brothers, you're not even worth as much as shit!" Jia Fei retorted immediately.

"We're going to kick your asses today, you're going to lose today!" Green said firmly.

"That's not necessarily true. Before you kick our butts, your butts have already been kicked raw by us!" Jia Fei said seriously.

Green was somewhat speechless after being dissed. He really hated Jia Fei; when it came to trash talk, this guy rarely came out on top. Durant was practically a kindergartener in that regard. He figured unless Garnett and Payton returned, it would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand in a verbal exchange with Jia Fei.

After the Clippers called a timeout, the Warriors' offense intensified, particularly their defense against the Warriors' three perimeter players. Even Olynyk was seen stealing the ball!

Russell tried to draw a foul under Jia Fei's defense, but the referee ignored it.

Dillon put the board away and handed it to Jia Fei to push over!

Jia Fei pushed forward, and with a Sam Gold move, he got past Green and continued to drive, taking three big steps past Klay and scoring a layup!

4:11, Jia Fei scores consecutive points.

The Warriors fans in the arena had a bad feeling. This man had left a deep impression on them; he was too strong, to the point that they were terrified of him. They weren't afraid of anyone from the Clippers, but this man was definitely an exception.

The Warriors were on offense, and Green was once again left wide open at the top of the key. This time he learned his lesson and refrained from shooting, but he made a mistake when passing to Curry...

As Jia Fei passed by Green, he tossed out a comment: "Practice your shooting more. Seeing you all alone really makes me worried for you..."

"***!" Green cursed, already planning his revenge on Jia Fei, but then he saw the looks in Olynyk and Dillon's eyes. Those looks made him abandon his plans.

The saying "Evil people need to be dealt with by evil people" is absolutely true.

“You’re Luthor!” Beverley added insult to injury…
