NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 386 I'm afraid I'll beat you to death

Nick Young is considered handsome among Black people, but standing next to Jia Fei, he suddenly looks too ordinary. The saying "comparison is the thief of joy" is absolutely true. Some people think they are very tall, but standing next to Chairman Yao, they feel they're too short to even be a walking stick for him.

Nick Young isn't a star player, but his confidence surpasses that of many stars. He even dares to criticize the Black Snake, so naturally, few people can catch his eye.

"Don't even think about scoring 30 points today under my defense!" Nick Young whispered with a grin in Jia Fei's ear.

"Oh, so confident!" Jia Fei chuckled. This young master Yang was really funny. It was one thing for him to brag about his offense, but his defense? What kind of defense did he have?

Nick Young said he wanted to limit Jia Fei's scoring to under 30 points because Jia Fei is currently averaging over 35 points per game, far ahead of the other scorers. If Jia Fei were only averaging 25 points per game, Young certainly wouldn't have said that, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to demonstrate his defensive prowess.

Jia Fei didn't take Nick Young's words to heart at all. Sometimes he thought American players were a bit arrogant, their overconfidence making them seem a bit foolish, but as professional basketball players, confidence was really important. Many young Chinese players lacked confidence, were hesitant to make moves on the court, and appeared too restrained and conservative.

Nick Young kept his word and was quite committed to defense today. Perhaps in his eyes, Jia Fei, the current league scoring champion, is one of the few players who deserves his dedication on the defensive end.

Harris was on offense, facing Randle who was like Li Kui (a legendary Chinese warrior), he drove in but was bounced away and almost made a mistake, but managed to get the ball back to DeAndre Jordan.

DeAndre Jordan made a strong attack on Mozgov, but his hook shot missed badly!

DeAndre Jordan, who ranks among the top 3 in the league in field goal percentage, actually has a lower field goal percentage than guards when he's really playing one-on-one. The reason he has a high field goal percentage is that he mostly makes dunks, and they're the kind of easy baskets.

Randle leaped to grab the rebound and launched a fast break down the backcourt with the ferocity of a heavy pickup truck, eliciting screams from the Lakers fans in the arena. Goodness, if you get hit like that, your body will fall apart.

Jia Fei knew that Randle liked this kind of one-man show, so he and Beverley blocked the mad bull from the front and back. If they blocked him face to face, they would either commit a foul or be knocked down, but if they intercepted him from the side, they would force him to pass the ball and make his dribbling difficult.

Ultimately, basketball isn't like rugby; you can't just run around with the ball in your hands!

P.S.: Running Man: "Who are you implying? I wasn't running the whole time, I just took a couple of extra steps!"

Randle's ball handling is still very stable. Although he also drives in a straight line, his dribbling is tougher than Plumlee's. However, if Jia Fei and Beverley, two first-team guards, come together, even if you are a god, they will stop you!

Randall's ball was stolen by Jia Fei! An angry Randall rushed over to try and steal it back, but Jia Fei dribbled behind his back, then performed a series of crossovers, half-turns, showcasing his excellent ball protection and skillful dribbling to the fans, eliciting screams from the crowd.

Randall couldn't even touch the edge of the ball. He was already in a frenzy and pounced on the ball like a hungry tiger. Unexpectedly, Jia Fei pulled the ball away from behind with a wide backhand motion!

Randle crashed heavily to the floor with a loud thud. If the Lakers' home court floor hadn't been of such high quality, it probably would have left a huge dent.

The game didn't stop. Jia Fei dribbled to the top of the arc, Nick Young came over to join the attack, and Russell also came over to double-team him on the other side!

Jia Fei made a one-handed, no-look pass, and the ball flew "whoosh" into Harris's hands under the basket!

Harris was unguarded and easily dunked with one hand!

Wow—that pass, was Magic Johnson possessed?

The fans in the stadium were stunned. It seems Jia Fei isn't just good at scoring; his passing is also unpredictable. And that steal followed by his dribbling—he's a superstar on both offense and defense!

"Jia Fei's brilliant pass, Bang—Tobias Harris's dunk!" Mike Breen exclaimed passionately.

Russell dribbled past half-court and set a screen with Mozgov at the top of the key.

With the help of a screen, Russell stepped back and hit a three-pointer—it went in!

2-3, the Lakers instantly took the lead!

The Lakers fans at Staples Center immediately cheered, "Look, this is the second overall pick we selected ourselves, isn't that awesome?"

Russell chewed on his mouthguard, looking arrogant and cocky. His shooting was undeniably excellent, especially his pick-and-roll three-pointers. It felt like among all the guards in the league, only Curry and Lillard could consistently outperform him in this skill.

Beverley dribbled over, and Russell disappeared after a screen.

Jia Fei suddenly made an outside cut feint followed by an inside cut!

Beverley bounced the ball to Jia Fei!

Jia Fei cut in, and facing Mozgov's help defense, he tossed the ball into the air...

On the other side, DeAndre Jordan leaped high, caught the ball with both hands, and slammed it into the basket!

"Bang—DeAndre dunks!" Mike Breen exclaimed!

4-3, two consecutive dunks, the Clippers are still the Lob City Clippers!

Russell continued to shoot three-pointers, but missed!

The backboard bounced far away, but Jia Fei reacted very quickly, securing it immediately and bringing the ball over himself.

"Why are you passing the ball around like this? Are you afraid of me?" Nick Young smiled and invited his opponent to come and take his hits.

"I'm afraid I'll beat you to death!" Jia Fei smiled slightly.

“Then kill me!” Nick Young retorted.

"I've never encountered such a request before. Alright, are you ready, young hero?" Jia Fei smiled, and before he knew it, he had started moving with the ball in his left hand!

Nick Young's footwork is decent; he's not slow for a shooting guard and can keep up with the pace.

However, Jia Fei changed direction while moving, and the ball was back in his right hand!

Nick Young was already staggering and looked quite disheveled!

Jia Fei accelerated again and overtook Nick Young!

Randle was still angry after being faked out by Jia Fei, so he rushed over to help defend. Normally, with his lazy playing style, he wouldn't do the dirty work of helping defense. He only goes all out when counter-attacking. When defending, he and Russell are both lazy.

But this time was different. Seeing that it was Jia Fei coming over, his anger made him stop slacking off. He wanted to teach this Asian man a lesson.

This is the Lakers' home court!

Randall was poised to strike, and Jia Fei naturally noticed him, already planning his next move.

Jia Fei slowed down slightly, then suddenly started to gather the ball and feinted—Randall jumped, and Jia Fei jumped again. After Randall landed, Jia Fei grabbed him, and the referee blew the whistle!

Jia Fei calmly put the ball into the basket!

And one!

Randall slammed the ball down in anger and glared fiercely at Jia Fei.

Jia Fei smiled and pointed to his head, the meaning couldn't be clearer: playing basketball requires using your brain, not brute force. Why don't you go carry cement?
