Chapter 148 Key 3 Points
On the Hawks' bench, Art Mayork led the way, wildly waving towels as if they had already won the game.
Coach Buden applauded with satisfaction, as this was exactly what he hoped Jia Fei would do. When the team's tactics fall into a deadlock, someone like him is needed to defuse the crisis. The Spurs' Big Three (Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili) and Leonard can do it, but the Hawks currently have too few players who can consistently defuse crises, and Jia Fei is precisely the player the team is focusing on developing.

Yang Jian exclaimed, "Jia Fei's shot was incredibly fast! With that speed and that jumping ability, Carter must be thinking, 'If I were 10 years younger, I could dunk like that!'"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "This is what they call 'youth has the upper hand.' Jia Fei is young and can jump around a lot, while Carter is already a pitcher. He can't defend against Jia Fei one-on-one at all."
Jia Fei was also amazed by his own crossover just now. This was only a crossover using less than 40% of Iverson's technique. For a player of his size to make such a move, the destructive power was terrifying. What kind of destructive power would a crossover using 100% of Iverson's technique have? He was really looking forward to it more and more...
There are 1 minute and 41 seconds left in the game!
Calderon dribbled the ball over and continued directing traffic.
Keep attacking Nowitzki!
Keep going, King Nordic!
Teague responded with a layup, bringing the score to two points!
With only 1 minute and 03 seconds left in the game, the tension was mounting!
Calderon dribbles the ball over, and the Mavericks continue to exploit Nowitzki's weakness!
The ball was difficult to pass, and Millsap, feeling embarrassed by being hit repeatedly, began to frantically move in front of him to defend.
The ball couldn't be passed in; Calderon tried to pass to Monta Ellis, but he couldn't get the ball there either!
With little time remaining on the shot clock, Calderon passed the ball to Carter!
Carter received the ball and took a step-back jump shot—but he didn't!
rebound!
Dalembert grabbed the crucial rebound! But before he could pass the ball, it suddenly disappeared from his hands…
When he came to his senses, he found that Jia Fei had appeared next to him at some point and had taken the ball from his hand!
Jia Fei gets the ball, and the Hawks call a timeout!
There are exactly 40 seconds left in the game! 101-103, the Hawks are still down by 2 points!
The match was getting more and more exciting and intense, and the fans in the stadium felt their breathing was getting a little rapid. They never expected that this opening match would go on until the very last moment.
Yang Jian said, "Jia Fei's steal was crucial. They now have a chance to tie or even take the lead. Yang Yi, do you think they should try to score two points or shoot a three-pointer?"
Yang Yi replied, "It depends on the opponent's defensive setup. Two or three points are both possible, there's still time. Even if you miss, you can foul and gamble on the opponent's free throws."
After the timeout, inbound the ball from the sideline in the frontcourt!
Horford serves, and Jia Fei comes over to receive the ball!
After receiving the ball and facing Carter, Jia Fei immediately accelerated and charged forward!
Carter couldn't catch up, and Calderon abandoned his defender to come and help!
Jia Fei was double-teamed and passed the ball to Teague!
Teague took a mid-range jump shot—but it rimmed out!
Horford grabbed the offensive rebound! He passed the ball to Korver at the top of the key!
As soon as Korver raised his hand, the Mavericks' defenders swarmed towards him like magnets. Once he received the ball beyond the three-point line, his threat was comparable to Running Man No. 1 charging into the paint, Shaquille O'Neal in the restricted area, or the basketball god near the free-throw line.
Korver didn't lose his temper; he calmly passed the ball to Jia Fei outside the three-point line at 45 degrees on the left wing!
Big open!
The Mavericks fans in the arena gasped, hoping that Jia Fei would miss the shot!
Jia Fei received the ball, his eyes cold and sharp. Without the slightest hesitation, he launched a three-pointer...
The basketball traced a beautiful arc through the air and finally swished through the hoop!
This three-pointer is reminiscent of the three-pointer by Kogure, the bespectacled guy, during the Shohoku vs. Ryonan game – the same open shot, the same clean swish.
104-103, the Hawks took the lead thanks to Jia Fei's three-pointer!
The Mavericks called a timeout! There were only 14.6 seconds left in the game!
Jia Fei smiled and gave Korver a high five!
Art Mayork, on the away team's bench, pumped his fist and roared with excitement, as if his team had won the championship!
"Well done, Jia!" Cephalosporin patted Jia Fei's butt with a smile, as if he were flattering him!
The American Airlines Arena was somewhat quiet. Jia Fei's three-pointer was devastating; hitting it at this crucial moment effectively put the Mavericks on the brink of elimination. Although the Mavericks still had a chance to win and plenty of time for their final shot, the pressure was undoubtedly on the home team.
Yang Jian exclaimed, "Jia Fei's shot was crucial! His mental fortitude is outstanding. If that shot hadn't gone in, the Hawks would have been in real trouble!"
Yang Yi nodded: "This shot is crucial. Even if it's an open shot, it's not easy to make it in at this moment!"
After the timeout, there were 14.6 seconds left in the game!
The Mavericks inbound the ball from the sideline!
The ball was barely served out, and it eventually ended up in Nowitzki's hands!
Nowitzki dribbled the ball against Millsap, but his final jump shot missed!
Jia Fei grabbed the rebound! He held onto the ball tightly, leaving Carter with no choice but to foul!
There were only 0.7 seconds left in the game.
You could clearly see a hint of helplessness on Nova's face; at that moment, he truly felt old.
With Jia Fei heading to the free-throw line, the Mavericks' fate is essentially sealed. They've run out of timeouts, and even if Jia Fei misses both free throws, grabbing the rebound and launching a three-pointer from the backcourt is an almost impossible task.
Jia Fei stepped to the free-throw line, and the away fans frantically tried to distract him, but he remained focused and calmly made both free throws!
With Carter missing a long three-pointer from the backcourt, the Hawks narrowly defeated the Mavericks on the road, securing a victory in their opening game!
Jia Fei and his teammates celebrated their victory, and Art Mayor came up and hugged him. The whole team was like it was a holiday!
"Jia, I got the basketball!" Art Mayork handed the ball to Jia Fei.
Jia Fei knew that this ball was the official ball for this match, and it still held some significance for him.
King Nuo came up and shook hands with Jia Fei, and the two hugged.
“You played very well, Ja, you’ll get better and better!” Nora said.
"Thank you, Dirk!" Jia Fei was very happy.
Carter also came over and hugged Jia Fei. The two shook hands, and Carter said, "Jia, I really like your dunks. If I were your age, I would really like to compete against you in the dunk contest!"
Jia Fei laughed and said, "Vince, your dunks are my favorite!"
They both laughed...
One was the 2000 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest champion, and the other was the 2012 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest champion. A century apart, the handshake between the two champions made people feel how quickly time flies.
