NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 723 sets a new single-chapter scoring record

The Clippers' home arena, IntuitDome, erupted in cheers...

Clippers fans haven't seen Jia Fei score with such intensity in a long time, it's been a really long time...

Last season, Jia Fei focused on playmaking. Although he won the assist title, the scoring title was snatched by Curry, leaving many fans feeling disappointed. In terms of scoring ability alone, Jia Fei is unparalleled in the league; even scoring machines like Durant and Harden can't outscore him. However, he's not a player who takes a lot of shots. He often chooses to trust his teammates, which, despite his incredible efficiency, results in a lower average score due to fewer shot attempts.

This led many media outlets to maliciously speculate that he had lost his scoring explosiveness, using ball sharing as a cover-up, when in reality he no longer possessed the scoring explosiveness he once had.

Jia Fei's fans were definitely not happy about this, and they started a crazy online battle, making the online chat very lively.

While Jia Fei's fans are absolutely fiercely protective of their idol's reputation and image, deep down they still hope that he can occasionally rack up high scores, proving that they still possess that ability and that they just don't want to use it normally. Having the ability to not use it and being unable to use it are two completely different concepts.

Jia Fei's performance against the "Shooting King" in the third quarter was something his fans were happy to see. For years, everyone has been used to his dominance, but fans still hope he can score a lot of points. They know he's more than just a scorer; he can do anything, and scoring will always be his forte!

In the entire third quarter, Jia Fei scored 40 points!

40 points! His score in a single quarter even exceeded the total score of his opponent. In the third quarter, his crazy offense overwhelmed the opponent, making the game a complete blowout by the end of the third quarter.

40 points in a single quarter! This is a new NBA record for points in a single quarter!

The previous record for a single quarter was also set by Jia Fei, who scored 38 points in a single quarter!

With the addition of his 30 points in the first half, Jia Fei has scored 70 points in three quarters, breaking his own NBA single-game scoring record (his previous single-game scoring record was 68 points)!

Finally, in his 10th season as a professional, Jia Fei also entered the "70+ Club"...

As a man who once averaged 40+ points per game in a season, his highest single-game score of only 68 points is indeed a bit underwhelming. Fortunately, Jia Fei finally stepped up and scored 70 points in 3 quarters, enough to secure a place on the NBA's all-time single-game scoring list.

After three quarters, the Clippers were leading the Grizzlies by 33 points, and the game had already entered garbage time.

Meanwhile, the Clippers' home crowd at Intuit Dome was still buzzing with excitement. The previous quarter had been the most impressive single-quarter scoring performance they had ever witnessed, and the fans were grateful to have seen this new NBA record being set.

"My God, Lin, your boyfriend is amazing! I don't even know how many baskets he's made. He's like a god!" Art Mayork's fiancée, Rose, covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

"Rose, he scored 40 points in the third quarter, which is a new NBA record for points in a single quarter!" Lin Ning, being a veteran fan, began to explain to the new fan, Rose.

"Whose records are these? Are they very old?" Rose asked.

"Not old!" Lin Ning shook his head. "The previous record also belonged to Jia Fei!"

Looking at Lin Ning's serious expression, Rose almost fainted. What kind of man was this? His girlfriend had become so accustomed to his extraordinary behavior that breaking such a record was something history would remember, and this was just his routine? This…

"Teacher Yang, Jia Fei's performance in the third quarter was simply divine! I'm impressed, I'm bowing down to him!" Ke Fan exclaimed in complete admiration.

Yang Yi chuckled and smacked his lips: "I told you, if Jia Fei wants to score, no athlete can stop him. Those who say Dillon can stop him should wake up. Where is Dillon? Can he even stop him? It's just a matter of whether Jia Fei wants to score or not. If he wants to score, no one can stop him. Everyone says he declined last season and didn't win the scoring title, but if he really wants to win the scoring title, no one else has a chance!"

"Teacher Yang, Jia Fei has now scored 70 points, breaking his personal single-game scoring record. Do you think he will play in the fourth quarter?" Ke Fan asked.

"I don't think so! Knowing Jia Fei's personality, he won't play again. The game is already in garbage time. If he wanted to rack up points, his single-game scoring record couldn't be only 68 points! No, he won't play unless the Grizzlies can turn the game around and force him to play!" Yang Yi looked confident.

The fourth quarter has begun...

The second units from both sides began their duel, but the fans in the arena were no longer focused on the game; they were still savoring Jia Fei's brilliant performance. Everyone was eager to know if Jia Fei would play in the fourth quarter. If he did, and scored another 40 points, he would truly have a chance to break Wilt Chamberlain's NBA record of 100 points in a single game.

Scoring 30 points in a single quarter is something most people can't do, but fans who just watched Jia Fei's individual scoring performance in the third quarter think that while others probably can't do it, Jia Fei could very well.

It depends on whether he wants to do it or not. If he wants to, he can definitely do it.

Fans have more confidence in Jia Fei than he does in himself; sometimes fans can be quite fanatical.

The game didn't come back; in fact, the point difference widened. Meanwhile, Jia Fei was already dressed and chatting with his good friend Art Mayor, looking very relaxed.

On the other side of the camera, Ti Lung also left the stage, his eyes filled with resentment and confusion.

Jia Fei did not play in the final quarter, and even the crowd chanting "We need Jia Fei" did not help.

It's clear that Jia Fei doesn't want to go on the court to rack up points. 70 points in 3 quarters plus the team's victory is enough; there's no need to pad his stats to climb the scoring leaderboard.

In NBA history, the highest single-game scoring record in the regular season is held by Wilt Chamberlain with 100 points, followed by Kobe Bryant with 81 points, and Chamberlain also holds the third-highest score in a regular season game with 78 points.

Jia Fei's 70-point game doesn't even rank in the top 10 all-time. There are active players like Bukklid and Mitchell who have scored over 70 points in a single game.

But clearly, no one would think that Booker and others could score as well as Jia Fei.

Regardless, Jia Fei has now joined the 70+ point club in a single game. His single-quarter scoring record is 40 points!

You wouldn't think a player who can score 40 points in a single quarter can't score more than 70 points, would you?
