NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 674 Welcomes the Return of Paojiao

The Clippers have won nine straight games! This is their second nine-game winning streak this season! Their last streak was ended by the Warriors, preventing them from reaching ten games, so they are certainly hoping to continue their winning streak this time.

An 18-1 record is phenomenal, not only far ahead of the rest of the league but also incredibly consistent. In those 19 games, the Clippers' defensive efficiency was among the best in the league, a key factor in their victories. Their scoring average isn't actually in the top 3, meaning that offensively, they aren't the most explosive team in the league.

On January 30, the Clippers defeated the Magic on the road, achieving their 10th consecutive win!

This is their first 10-game winning streak this season, and they also have the longest winning streak among the 30 teams in the league!

February has arrived...

On February 1, the Clippers defeated the Knicks on the road, achieving their 11th consecutive victory.

On February 3, the Clippers played against the Nets on the road.

This game is a key matchup in the league: Jia Fei vs. the Nets' Big Three.

Durant has fully recovered from his injury this season, Harden's trade request was granted and he came to the Nets, and together with Irving, the three of them formed the league's most offensively potent Big Three.

This match was known as "Three Heroes vs. Lü Bu," and Jia Fei was naturally Lü Bu. The essence of this match was also the best of the day.

Jia Fei scored 50 points in this game, but the Clippers still lost to their opponent and failed to achieve a 12-game winning streak.

This game also proved that the Clippers still can't do without Paul George. Although Grant is also capable, his offensive firepower is still a bit lacking in this level of competition.

An absolute offense cannot be defended. Between the strongest spear and the strongest shield, the strongest spear will always win, because NBA games are about who scores more points, not who scores less.

The Nets' Big Three are all capable of scoring 50 points in a single game. Essentially, when they're in form, they can ignore defense, making them very difficult to defend.

After losing to the Nets on the road, the Clippers suffered their second loss of the season, bringing their record to 20 wins and 2 losses.

With a record of 20 wins and 2 losses, the Clippers still hold the top spot in the league. The away loss to the Nets did not diminish Jia Fei's outstanding performance this season; he remains the league's best player.

Furthermore, the Clippers received good news: Paul George will return to action on February 6th in the Clippers' home game against the Celtics after missing 21 games.

This is naturally good news for the Clippers.

On February 4th, the Clippers played the Cavaliers in a back-to-back away game.

The Cavaliers are still rebuilding. Their goal this season is to develop young talent and then continue tanking to acquire high draft picks. The rebuilding path for small-market teams is generally similar; big-name free agents are unlikely to choose them. If the "Running Man" hadn't been drafted by the Cavaliers, he wouldn't have chosen them in the offseason.

The Clippers easily defeated their opponent in this game, avoiding a losing streak.

With this, the Clippers have concluded their six-game road trip, and their 5-1 record is perfectly acceptable. They will now return home, Paul George will be making his return, and things will get even better.

From Cleveland in the Midwest to Los Angeles on the West Coast, the Clippers will embark on a home road trip.

Jia Fei also met his long-lost girlfriend Lin Ning. The two felt like they hadn't seen each other for a day, and their passion ignited as they discussed the meaning of O and X...

The Clippers' next game will be at home against the Celtics on February 6.

On the evening of the 5th, Jia Fei, Lin Ning, Art Mayork and his girlfriend Rose invited Kemba Walker to dinner at Jia Fei's house.

"Fine, I'm all alone now, so feel free to feed me all the dog food you want!" Kemba Walker's smile was full of bitterness.

"Hey Kemba, you're such a pain to please! If we don't bring our girlfriends over, you say we're keeping them as a secret, and if we do bring them over, you say we're feeding them dog food. Can't you be normal for once? What do you want from us?" Jia Fei couldn't help but complain.

"Okay, it's all my fault. Next time you come to Boston, I'll bring you a few girlfriends to make you eat your fill of dog food!" Kemba Walker seemed to have made a huge decision.

“Okay, it’s a deal. We’re not afraid of this!” Art Mayor accepted Kemba Walker’s challenge.

Lin Ning was making fruit salad for them. She really liked the friendship between Jia Fei and his friends. They had known each other for so long, but their feelings for each other hadn't changed at all, which was truly rare.

The following evening, at the Clippers' home arena, Intuit Dome.

The Clippers will host the Celtics.

This game was broadcast live across the United States. The Celtics were the Eastern Conference Finals team last season, and they are a very strong team.

In this game, Clippers' second-leading scorer Paul George returned after missing 22 games.

This match was broadcast live on Tencent, with commentators Wang Meng and guest Yang Yi providing commentary.

“Mr. Yang, George is returning for this game, but according to our information, Jaylen Brown won’t be playing for the Celtics, which means Tatum will have to take on two opponents at once,” Wang Meng said.

"Even if Jaylen Brown were to fight, he and Tatum wouldn't be able to beat Jia Fei and Paul George. Jia Fei is a level above all three of them; they're not even in the same league," Yang Yi said, smacking his lips.

The starting lineups for both teams have been announced.

The Clippers' starting lineup is Jia Fei, Paul George, Bridges, Grant, and Hartenstein!

Olynyk has already missed two games due to an arm injury, and this is his third missed game. His injury is not serious, and the Clippers are following a "minor injury, major recovery" strategy, allowing him to rest for a few more games.

For the Celtics, Jaylen Brown is out, and the starting lineup consists of Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis, TT, and Ojeleye.

The starting lineups of both teams are on the field, and Hartenstein and TT are near the center circle preparing for the jump ball; the match is about to begin.

TT found a new job immediately after leaving the Cavaliers, which is truly impressive. The fact that he managed to escape unscathed from the defense of a Kardashian family member and Defensive Player of the Year is simply remarkable. Even when Harden was dating Khloe Kardashian, his performance was abysmal. Humphries completely lost his form, was utterly drained, and Odom even nearly lost his life…

It's often said that "beautiful women have short lives" and that women are "troublemakers." Of course, this isn't meant to be discriminatory towards women, but sometimes it's just too coincidental. Why do NBA players who date women from the Kardashian family always seem to be completely drained?

It's worth noting that after breaking up with Khloe, Harden instantly became energetic, while when they were together, he seemed completely out of it. Who can explain this?

The jump ball began, and Hartenstein won the jump ball against Tristan Thompson, giving the Clippers possession for the first offensive possession.

Hartenstein and Olynyk are completely different big men. The former is better at interior defense, rebounding, and rim protection, but he can't create space; the latter, in addition to creating space, also has a nuclear-powered deterrent effect...
