Chapter 365 Achieves Two Consecutive Victories
Beverley dribbled over and passed the ball to Jia Fei, but made a mistake and was intercepted by Jiao Zhixi!
The Jazz played their game calmly and methodically, with Diaw showcasing the power of his sexy backside in the low post, backing down Harris, and then hitting a turnaround jumper!
At 44:39, the score difference immediately widened to 5 points.
Some Clippers fans in the stands couldn't stand it anymore. What the hell was this team playing? Some of them started to miss 58. Compared to 58, Beverley's playmaking ability was zero. Could someone like that be the starting point guard of a strong team?
Beverley doesn't care at all about the boos from the fans; he's just that nonchalant. His mental fortitude is unimaginable. What's the big deal about being booed? Is there anything worse than poverty in this world?
Beverley dribbled the ball over and passed it to Jia Fei.
Jia Fei dribbled the ball and faced Hu De, while DeAndre Jordan came over to screen.
Jia Fei started moving, going to the right side, forcing a switch. DeAndre Jordan's screens were of good quality, solid, and quick to the basket.
Facing Gobert, Jia Fei stepped out and adopted a one-on-one stance.
Joe, who was in a one-on-one situation near the bottom corner, came over to double-team!
Jia Fei flicked the ball with one hand to Wesley Johnson in the bottom corner!
A wide-open shot! Wesley Johnson didn't miss this time, sinking the three-pointer with ease!
44:42, the score difference has been narrowed to only 2 points in an instant!
There was finally applause at the Sputnik Center, though only a few scattered ones.
During the Jazz's offensive play, Jiao Zhixi attempted an alley-oop with Gobert, but Jia Fei anticipated it and intercepted it in mid-air!
Jia Fei dribbled the ball on a fast break, making a solo run down the court. Facing Hu De, who was retreating while defending, he forcefully drove to the basket for a layup. The whistle blew, and the ball went in!
Andone! 44:44, the score is tied. Jia Fei needs to make the free throw, and the Clippers have a chance to take the lead!
This time, cheers finally erupted at Staples Center. Jia Fei's pass, defense, and attack instantly turned the tide of the game. This must be what a superstar is like!
Jia Fei made the free throw, giving the Clippers their first lead of the game!
Jazz offense, Hood tries to respond, drives hard past Wesley Johnson, but his layup is blocked out of bounds by Jia Fei who is helping on defense...
This play brought a brief burst of cheers to the Staples Center. Jia Fei was omnipresent on defense. While he wasn't particularly dominant offensively in the first half, his defense remained consistently solid. Even when the team's offense faltered, their defense prevented the opponent from pulling away, which was crucial.
The Jazz were on offense. Gobert tried a hook shot under the basket, but DeAndre Jordan blocked it, and the ball went straight to the frontcourt...
24 seconds have passed!
DeAndre Jordan displayed an air of superiority, sporting an arrogant expression, and even mimicked Dikembe Mutombo by wagging his finger...
This move ignited the emotions of the fans in the stadium, and Staples Center finally began to erupt in noise.
The Clippers are on offense, and Beverley brings the ball over and passes it to Harris.
Harris broke through and passed to Jia Fei on the right wing!
Jia Fei received the ball and made a fake drive move. Hu De instinctively stepped back, but unexpectedly, Jia Fei immediately chose to shoot a three-pointer...
The ball traced a beautiful arc through the air and fell precisely into the net!
44:48, the Clippers have gone from trailing by 5 points to leading by 4! The Jazz call a timeout!
Jia Fei's three-pointer finally set Staples Center ablaze. This offensive and defensive play was truly phenomenal. It seems it wasn't that Jia Fei lacked ability, but rather that the fans didn't trust him enough. He was impatient and didn't believe in his players. Even though he's so strong, you still think he's inferior to this one or that one.
Of course, the Jazz adjusted quickly. They stopped involving Gobert in the offense as much, using him more as a screener, and letting Diaw and Jiao handle the ball more often. On the defensive end, they decisively double-teamed Jia Fei, no longer hoping that Hood could defend him one-on-one.
The Clippers' problems are also obvious: poor response to open shots from the perimeter, and apart from Jia Fei, the other players' individual scoring abilities are average. Harris is arguably the best scorer among the starters besides Jia Fei, but he can't be the primary offensive option; he's at best a secondary scorer, or at most the third option. Using him as the second option is a stretch.
DeAndre Jordan was an All-NBA First Team selection last season, but as a center, his offensive ability, especially his individual ball-handling skills, is probably similar to that of a hapless old woman. He lacks a jump shot and is always looking for easy baskets, but when the opponent collapses their defense, he becomes less effective at scoring, and good opportunities become scarce.
The Clippers' starting lineup suffers from inconsistent shooting and a lack of reliable secondary scorers. Moving Redick into the starting lineup would solve the shooting problem, but the team's overall defense would suffer. It's a trade-off: defense or offense. Ideally, a player should excel on both ends of the court, but the problem is that such players are rare.
The close contest between the two teams continued, but the Clippers, with their excellent defense and Jia Fei's threat, managed to keep the Jazz in check.
After three quarters, the Clippers led 60-65, a 5-point advantage.
贾飞三节得到20分9个篮板6次助攻3个抢断1个盖帽，单节12分，帮助球队取得领先。
In the final quarter, the Jazz double-teamed Jia Fei even more aggressively, but the Clippers' open shots improved.
Ultimately, the Clippers maintained their lead in the final quarter, 80-90, winning this defensive battle.
贾飞本场比赛砍下全场最高的30分，外加13个篮板10次助攻4个抢断1个盖帽，拿下加盟快船后的首个三双。
With this victory, the Clippers achieved their second consecutive win, temporarily tying for first place in the Western Conference with a record of 2 wins and 0 losses.
一场46+9+6+3+2，一场30+13+10+4+1，贾飞一客一主用近乎完美的表现向快船管理层和球迷宣告，他正式入主快船，成为球队的头牌球星。
The Clippers haven't had a star of this caliber for a long time. The last time they acquired a star of this caliber was when 58 joined the team. Although 58 never won an MVP, he was the league's best point guard before joining the Clippers, and he only narrowly lost to Kobe in the 08 MVP race, making him an MVP-caliber player.
After the match, Jia Fei was interviewed. When asked if he was confident of winning the championship this season, he smiled and replied, "You ask me if I'm confident? Of course I say yes, but having confidence doesn't mean I can do it. We still have a lot to do. This is only the second match of the season; everything has just begun. There's nothing to be complacent about!"
Jia Fei will not be complacent because of the two victories. This is nothing. His goal is the championship.
February has arrived...
On November 1, the NBA officially announced the Players of the Week for the Eastern and Western Conferences.
Running Man from the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East and Jia Fei from the Los Angeles Clippers in the West received this honor.
This is Jia Fei's first Player of the Week award since joining the Clippers! In the two games last week, he led the team to two consecutive victories, averaging 38 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 3.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game – a truly explosive performance!
