Chapter 375 Career High in Scoring
The Pistons were stunned, completely stunned...
This is also a major difference between weak and strong teams. Even if a strong team is behind, they believe in their own strength. They have a fixed and stable playing style and system. Their shooting touch is temporary and will definitely come back. They will start with defense and wait for their shooting touch to return.
But weak teams can't do that. The Pistons are a weak team. Their double-digit lead isn't due to a mature system or stronger strength, but rather the explosive performance of two role players. This kind of lead is inherently weak, and once the opponent recovers, the advantage is likely to be lost.
Adding to the woes, the team's key player, Blake Griffin, was forced off the court due to foul trouble, leaving the team without a leader and playing away from home, making them appear even more lost and helpless.
贾飞单节22分，帮助快船在中场结束的时候将比分改写为54:64，快船从落后10分到领先10分。
贾飞半场得到36分5个篮板4次助攻2个抢断2个盖帽，表现简直炸裂。
Jia Fei's 22 points in a single quarter is a new record for a single quarter in his NBA career (the previous record was 20 points), and his 36 points in the first half is also a new record (the previous record was 32 points).
Halftime. Tencent Studio.
"Mr. Yang, do the Pistons still have a chance to come back in the second half?" Wang Meng asked.
Yang Yi gave a wicked smile: "This... is too difficult! Do you really think that Stanley Johnson and Jon Rueil can still shoot like this in the second half? The Clippers' defense is very good, and the Pistons' offense isn't very good either. Trying to catch up is, in a word—difficult!"
The third quarter began quickly...
The Pistons attacked first, with Blake Griffin posting up Harris, but after being double-teamed, he passed to Drummond under the basket, only to have Drummond fumble the ball...
Mistake +1!
Many fans at the scene burst into laughter. Drummond is such a coward, yet he wants to be the best center in the East! Dream on!
Beverley dribbled the ball over, and Jia Fei circled out from the baseline to receive it!
Beverley passed the ball to Jia Fei, who then broke through on the strong side, drawing a triple team on the strong side!
Jia Fei flicked the ball to Harris on the weak side with one hand!
Harris caught the ball and launched a long two-pointer, which went in smoothly!
54-66, the Clippers score first in the second half! Jia Fei assists +1!
Pistons offense, Drummond posts up against DeAndre Jordan, but his hook shot still misses!
Drummond's offense is so rough it's comparable to DeAndre Jordan's. But Jordan knows his own limitations; he knows his low-post skills are terrible, so he rarely takes them and just goes for easy baskets. But Drummond is different. He doesn't want to be just a role-playing center; he wants to be a dominant low-post weapon, like Shaquille O'Neal was back in the day.
Sometimes, people need to have self-awareness. Someone who is clearly more suited to be Ben Wallace but fantasizes about becoming Shaquille O'Neal ends up being a hybrid that is neither fish nor fowl, ultimately leading to a tragic end.
Many ordinary people are the same. When they are young, they want to be scientists and build airplanes, but when they grow up, they find that they don't even have the opportunity to take care of airplanes. They are just screw-tighteners.
The gap between ideals and reality is much larger than we imagine.
Jia Fei grabbed the rebound, brought the ball over, and faced Pope's serious defense. He made a crossover dribble and drove in, then stopped abruptly and pulled back, making Pope stumble and almost fall.
Jia Fei gathered the ball and launched a jump shot, which went in smoothly!
54:68, a difference of 14 points!
Pistons offense, Morris overpowers Wesley Johnson and responds with a mid-range jumper!
However, the Clippers immediately inbounded the ball, and Jia Fei drove the length of the court, almost overpowering Pope to score a 2+1, completely shattering the Pistons' confidence!
"MVP", "MVP", "MVP"... The long-awaited MVP chants rang out. Many people had almost forgotten that in the not-so-distant 2014-15 season, Jia Fei won the regular season MVP and the finals MVP, becoming the first star since 2010 to win two major MVP awards in a single season since Running Man.
Neither 58, hailed as the "best point guard in the league," nor Blake Griffin, the dunk champion and number one draft pick, has ever won an MVP award. Clippers fans aren't used to chanting "MVP" because their team has never had one. They only hear people chanting "MVP" from the Lakers. While Griffin is often the subject of jokes and teasing from fans, he is a man who has genuinely won an MVP award.
Jia Fei was also somewhat taken aback. He hadn't heard that title in a long time. He had been off for an entire season, which was a really long time for him.
Clippers fans chanted "MVP" for Jia Fei, which made Blake Griffin unhappy, but he could only swallow it. He didn't have an MVP award, which had nothing to do with him.
Jia Fei made the free throw, bringing his total to 41 points in the game!
Having joined the Clippers and played only a few games, scoring 40 points seems as easy as eating and drinking for him. Unbeknownst to many, he is already slowly approaching his peak.
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, sitting on the sidelines, smiled without saying a word. He was so happy today that his hands ached from clapping. He was incredibly glad he had made the decisive decision to trade 58 and Blake Griffin. Keeping those two would have guaranteed a playoff berth every year, but that was the limit of the team's ceiling. In a few years, when those two declined, the team's roster cap would be locked up, and what awaited them would be a long and hopeless rebuilding process.
With Jia Fei on the team, the team's overall strength looks no worse than last season. The team now has assets in hand, which means they have already revamped their roster, making them younger and more energetic, and the roster structure is more flexible. It's a win-win situation.
The Pistons are slowly losing their ability to resist Jia Fei.
After three quarters, the score was 70-90, with the point difference widening to 20 points.
In the final quarter, the Clippers' second unit, with Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell running a pick-and-roll, dominated the game and completely turned it around. Jia Fei didn't play any more games, finishing the game in three quarters.
Ultimately, the Clippers secured a resounding 29-point victory over the visiting Pistons at home, avoiding a losing streak.
After this game, their record was 6 wins and 1 loss, still very good, firmly in the top three in the Western Conference.
贾飞本场比赛只出战了3节，但是他依然砍下全场最高的51分，外加9个篮板9次助攻3个抢断2个盖帽的50+准三双数据。如果末节不是比赛提前进入垃圾时间，他本场比赛拿下50+三双一点问题都没有。
This is his second 50+ point game in his NBA career, and 51 points is also a new career high for him in a single game.
This was a scoring showcase for Jia Fei, coinciding with Blake Griffin's return to Staples Center to face his former team. It's safe to say that this highly anticipated game further boosted Jia Fei's popularity this season. Those who predicted he would never return to his form from a year ago had no choice but to shut up, as they were thoroughly proven wrong.
Shafen also had a very good performance in this game, with 28 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, a very comprehensive and powerful 20+10. However, it depends on who he is compared to. Compared to Jia Fei, he seems too ordinary.
