NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 174 Dunking on Warcraft

With a loud "thump," Howard hadn't even had time to jump when he found himself dunked on by Jia Fei! It all happened so fast; from Jia Fei's drive to his tomahawk dunk, it was all over in an instant.

Howard's face darkened; his initial joy instantly transformed into rage, but he couldn't retaliate—it would be too embarrassing. That unpleasant feeling returned…

Back when he was still young, a young beast in the Magic, he was dunked on by a man in the Los Angeles No. 8 jersey. After that, he slowly developed into a top defensive center in the league, and many perimeter players who tried to dunk on him ended up with blocks on his stat line. His defensive dominance in the paint even made many perimeter drivers afraid to penetrate. But time flies, and now another perimeter player has dunked on him, and in such a brutal way!

Jia Fei landed gracefully, without getting stuck on the rim or angrily beating Howard. He appeared so light and elegant, without showing any excitement whatsoever. It was as if the dunk he had just made was nothing more than a piece of cake, not worth mentioning at all.

Jia Fei's arrogant behavior infuriated Howard, who angrily yelled at the referee, "He just committed a foul!"

The referee was speechless. "You got dunked on, I saw it clearly. Foul? If anyone should be fouled, it's you!"

Howard kept rambling on, and the referee couldn't take it anymore, giving him a technical foul to bring him to his senses.

On the sidelines, Rockets head coach Refrigerator frowned slightly. With Harden out, Howard was his lifeline. If Howard had a mental breakdown, who else could he rely on?

Meanwhile, the Hawks' bench was completely ecstatic... Horford, who is usually quite reserved, kept waving a towel and grinning from ear to ear. He had been quite embarrassed by Howard earlier, and it was rare for him to have four fouls so quickly in his career. Fortunately, Jia Fei helped him teach Howard a lesson, which was a way for him to vent his anger.

The most excited of them all was Art Mayork, who started dancing a strange dance from his African homeland and yelled at an angry Howard in the arena: "This is a four-time DPOY? It's terrible! I could do that too!"

Howard's temper flared even more, and he and Art Mayork exchanged trash talk, making the scene somewhat chaotic.

Jia Fei calmly walked to the free-throw line, glancing at Howard before taking the shot, as if to say, "Watch my free throws, pay close attention!"

Jia Fei's shot went through the net cleanly with a crisp sound. From his free throw release to the final swishing of the ball, it was a stark contrast to Howard's arm, which was as hard as a fork, and his free throw motion, which resembled throwing a medicine ball.

It's not that you don't know the goods, it's that you don't compare them. Why do many fans appreciate the blacksmith but not the running man? In fact, the running man's shooting percentage and offensive efficiency are both higher than the blacksmith's. The problem is that one side has a "beautiful" fadeaway jump shot, while the other side has an ugly shot that looks like a crab. In the eyes of Chinese fans who pursue aesthetics, they will naturally prefer the former.

As for the blacksmith being "Fe3O4", that's not important. Whether it's accurate or not doesn't matter; as long as he looks cool!

Jia Fei also scored 3 points in one possession, which was far more impactful than Howard's 3 points earlier. This was a huge blow to the Rockets' morale, and the fans in the arena could feel that the players' morale was plummeting.

Of course, this certainly doesn't include Beverly.

Beverley stared intently at Jia Fei like a hungry wolf, as if he would pounce on him and tear him to shreds at the slightest movement. But in reality, Jia Fei didn't even glance at him.

62-60, the Hawks have taken the lead again!

Yu Jia exclaimed, "Jia Fei's dunk just now was absolutely spectacular! I think it'll definitely be selected as the best goal of the day!"

Su Qun nodded: "Howard never expected to be dunked on so easily. To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen Howard get dunked on. Jia Fei is really amazing!"

Beverley dribbled over, and Howard was already eager to establish position and take a one-on-one shot! He was determined to get back on top!

Beverley lobs the ball to Howard!

Howard caught the ball and immediately slammed it into Antić. His actions were exactly like those of a man who doesn't understand romance, skipping all foreplay and just forcing his way in.

Jia Fei immediately moved in to attack from both sides!

Seeing Jia Fei coming to double-team him, Howard charged even more fiercely, determined to take on both of them at once!

Millsap joined in, and the three of them surrounded Howard.

Howard has fallen into a strange cycle with men. This 3 vs 1 feeling is completely different from a threesome. It's not enjoyment, it's torture!

Howard lost the ball, and Jia Fei intercepted it and launched a counterattack!

Jia Fei charged ahead, leaving everyone else in the dust!

Beverley chased after him frantically, but he gave up immediately because he couldn't even smell Jia Fei's exhaust fumes!

The Rockets fans at the scene experienced the sprint of the man known as the fastest in the league. From stealing the ball in the backcourt to dunking in the frontcourt, did it take 3 seconds?

64:60, Jia Feifei dunks, completing the attack in lightning speed! Howard is still arguing with the referee about the foul!

Jia Fei knew that Howard's mentality had completely collapsed! This guy has never been a star with a stable mentality. Everyone said that he could be traded one-for-one for LeBron James of the Cavaliers, but in fact, James was never even on the trading block for a second. The one-for-one trade for James was just a means for the media at that time to inflate Howard's value.

Even LeBron haters wouldn't think Howard is really on the same level as LeBron James, right? His defense is indeed strong and dominant, but his offense has never been the best among centers. He doesn't have a consistent ball-handling ability, and he can only score easy baskets under the basket. He doesn't have a three-point shot, and he basically doesn't have a mid-range shot either. His hook shot and low-post footwork are also quite rough. He is the player who relies on his physicality to play basketball.

Now, after suffering a major injury and getting older, he's slowly transformed from "Superman" into "Howard." He's not even 30 yet, but you can already see that he's declined since his Magic days.

Beverley dribbled the ball across half-court and gestured to direct traffic at the top of the arc, while Jeremy Lin smoked in the corner and didn't touch the ball at all at the start of the third quarter.

Howard was still holding his position when Beverley suddenly made a no-look pass to Jones, the "King of Slaughtering Noobs," on the other side!

But Jones hadn't touched the ball in the second half either, and he never expected Beverley to pull off such a slick move; the ball went out of bounds...

Howard shrugged and complained that Beverley was messing things up, saying that Beverley wasn't Harden and didn't have much of a role on the team. Not only Howard was complaining, but the rich and handsome Beverley also gave him a disapproving look.

Fortunately, Beverley has a thick skin and pretends not to see his teammates' dissatisfaction.
