NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 281 The First Time Doing This Action

If you can't make shots, the best way is to draw fouls and get to the free-throw line. But the reason you can't keep drawing fouls is because no player can drive all the way to the basket. The opponent isn't stupid; if you keep driving, they'll collapse the defense and have three players waiting for you inside.

Also, whether or not there are whistles for a drive depends on the referee's mood. Tonight, the referee was lenient with the calls, so he didn't call common fouls, which greatly affected the efficiency of the drive.

In terms of referees, the league plays a significant role. Whether the league favors you or not greatly affects your calls. Jia Fei feels that he has gotten his calls relatively easily this season, which means the league seems to be interested in promoting him, but certainly not to the level of a favored son.

Harden is currently the league's favorite son. His skill at flopping is one thing, but the league is really giving him too many calls. If he doesn't get at least 10 fouls in a game, it's like he hasn't even played.

Just like when he was with the Cavaliers, he got a ton of calls. He'd get calls for drives, no traveling violations, and no goaltending issues – a true favorite of the league. But after he joined the Heat, he got far fewer calls; that's a very obvious difference.

The NBA is, after all, a business league, and it's obvious that the league doesn't encourage forming super teams.

Jia Fei stepped up to the free-throw line and calmly sank both free throws!

6-2! The home fans breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally scored!

However, Jia Fei's scoring did not awaken the other Hawks players. Instead, the Wizards maintained their lead thanks to their height advantage in the paint and Beal's matchup against Korver, and the score gap continued to widen.

Wang Meng said, "Mr. Yang, the Hawks' situation isn't good!"

Yang Yi nodded: "The Hawks still have two problems: they lack height in the paint and Korver's defense on the perimeter is poor."

Halfway through the first quarter, the Hawks trailed by 7 points, 14-7.

Coach Buden called a timeout. After the timeout, Korver went to the bench to rest, and Carroll came on.

After Carroll came on, Jia Fei switched to the point guard position.

Teague dribbled over and passed the ball to Jia Fei.

The Wizards have also changed their matchup, sending Beal to guard Jia Fei.

"Everyone says you won the vote count on your own merits, but I want to see what you're capable of!" Bill laughed.

“You…can’t even see my taillights!” After Jia Fei finished speaking, Bill felt the person in front of him disappear! When he came to his senses, he realized he had been passed!

Jia Fei broke in and found Mi Shen perfectly positioned under the basket, who then scored his first basket of the game!

14-9, the Hawks finally scored again!

But Milwaukee's joy didn't last long. On the defensive end, he was outmaneuvered by Nene, who scored a 2+1!

16:9, the score difference is still 7 points, and Nene will have to take a penalty.

Milwaukee committed two fouls, and Coach Buden substituted him with Art Mayork.

"Look, the two loopholes I mentioned have been plugged now!" Yang Yi said.

Nene missed the free throw, and Art Mayork, who had just come on, leaped high and grabbed the ball tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline!

The fans at the scene exclaimed in amazement, "His athleticism is incredible!" Neither Mills nor Horford are this kind of beast-like inside player. This is Art Mayok's advantage and his trademark.

Teague dribbled over, and Jia Fei called for the ball with his back to the basket on the left wing.

Teague lobbed the ball over, and Jia Fei caught it with one hand, with Bill behind him.

"Stop showing off, you're not MJ, and you'll never be him!" Bill mocked.

"But that's enough to deal with you!" Jia Fei smiled slightly, and with a signature behind-the-back dribble and turnaround jump shot like McGrady, the release point was high and the release speed was fast, and Beal's 193cm height simply couldn't reach it.

No one expected Jia Fei to pull off such a move, as he had never done it before in previous matches.

But there's a first time for everything. Just like you've never had sex before, but you can still succeed eventually. It's the same principle.

The ball went into the basket cleanly!

16:11, the gap has been narrowed to 5 points!

Hawks fans at Philips Arena erupted in excitement. That shot was so cool, it was the perfect embodiment of the word "elegant." Having grown accustomed to the ugly jump shot of Running Man's Yangcheng Lake and the awkward jump shot of Turtle's zombie-like style, fans inevitably yearn for Kobe's beautiful shots and McGrady's graceful movements from back in the day.

In the Tencent studio, Wang Meng exclaimed with a wide grin, "My God, that was so cool!"

Art Mayor excitedly shouted behind Bill, "Going back to the drawing board might let you smell the sweat under Jia Fei's armpits, hahaha..." He was now showing no mercy when he started criticizing people; he had heard Bill's provocation of Jia Fei earlier.

“Who gives you the right to talk to me like that?” Bill glared at Art Mayork.

"You should cherish the opportunity to be talked about by him!" Jia Fei said as he passed by Bill.

Bill was a little confused; he didn't know why Jia Fei would say that.

Wall dribbled the ball over, and Jia Fei began to defend Beal.

Bill was demanding the ball; he wanted to get revenge. He couldn't just swallow his pride after being outmaneuvered by Jia Feiyan.

Jia Fei's defense was extremely aggressive and his movement speed was fast, giving the fans in the arena a taste of what high-intensity defense looks like. He kept moving, staying in front of Beal, preventing Wall from passing the ball to him.

Bill couldn't shake him off, which was something he hadn't expected. He also hadn't anticipated that this guy's defense would be so strong! He was just being guarded by Korver, and the difference in their defense was equivalent to the difference in length between you and Ibaka's penis.

When Wall couldn't get the ball across, he immediately changed his mind and tried a different tactic.

The Hawks' defense was also gradually escalating. The physical clashes between Art Mayok and Nene, nicknamed "One-Ball Superman," and the cracking sounds of their muscles were clearly audible to the fans sitting behind the baseline.

Can Poland's Grandma Qi withstand this intensity?

Wall took advantage of the screen and drove to the basket, but his layup was blocked by Horford!

Horford gets the ball and passes it to Jia Fei to dribble over.

Jia Fei brought the ball over, and Beal came up to defend and steal the ball. He calmly protected the ball, while the opponent pressed aggressively. When he got to the vicinity of the three-point line, he suddenly pulled the ball behind his back, accelerated, passed the opponent, and cut straight to the basket. Facing Gortat, he chose to force his way in!

A gasp rippled through the crowd as Jia Fei slammed the ball into the basket!

Poor Polish hammer, being used as a tool to be hammered!

Gortat almost fell over. After dunking, Jia Fei turned around and completely ignored Bill, giving his good buddy Art Mayok a high-five!

16:13, the score difference has narrowed to 3 points!

Jia Fei's dunk ignited the emotions of the fans in the arena, with cheers rising higher and higher, and the fans were all excited.

Jia Fei's dunk and Art Mayok's passionate defense also ignited the rest of the Hawks team, and their defensive intensity was clearly on a completely different level compared to the start of the game.
