NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 617, Chapter 3, 22 assists

“Mr. Yang, Rui Hachimura’s defense is really loose! Gallinari is playing too easily!” Wang Meng said.

Yang Yi twirled his pen and said, "Rui Hachimura isn't good at defense to begin with, and we can't just single him out. With the Wizards' defense like this, I could easily score two points if I went up there!"

After the timeout, the game resumed.

Isaiah Thomas used a screen to assist Tob to sink a three-pointer from the top of the arc!

12:13, Wizards, I can't stop you, but I won't let you have it easy either.

Beverley dribbled the ball over and passed it to Jia Fei.

Jia Fei has the ball on the right wing and sets a pick-and-roll with Gallinari!

Rui Hachimura and Troy Brown had a communication problem, and Jia Fei made a through pass to Gallinari, who was making a run down the court!

Gallinari easily made the jump shot, and is now 4-for-4, his shooting touch is on fire.

The Wizards are on offense. Tob receives a pass from Beal and drives to the basket, drawing a foul from Olynyk!

Mop made one of two free throws, making it 13-15!

The Clippers are on offense. Jia Fei receives the ball on the left wing, fakes a move and cuts in, then makes a no-look pass to Paul George cutting in on the right wing!

Paula made a stylish mid-air layup and scored, drawing a foul from Mop!

Tob can dominate Olynyk on offense, but the area under his basket is like a street in the early morning; anyone can take a stroll there.

Pickled pepper made the free throw, making it 13-18, a 5-point difference!

Jia Fei has already delivered 6 assists in this quarter, playing with absolute ease.

During the Wizards' offense, Thomas drew Beverley's second foul, and the latter angrily left the court.

Bridges replaced Beverley.

As a result, the 201cm Bridges is guarding the 175cm Isaiah Thomas. With such a large height difference, it feels like Isaiah Thomas can't even see the basket.

The Wizards inbound the ball in the frontcourt, Beal receives it, faces Jia Fei with the ball, and makes a crossover!

But Jia Fei made a move and intercepted the ball!

Jia Fei intercepted the ball and launched an immediate counter-attack; with a flick of his wrist, the ball flew forward...

The fans at the scene could clearly see Bridges striding forward like an ostrich as soon as he came on the field!

The ball leads the way, Bridges catches it, and easily completes a dunk!

At 13:20, the point difference has reached 7 points!

On the sidelines, Wizards head coach Brooks rested his chin on his hand, looking deep in thought. Could this situation be resolved with just one timeout? He knew very well that he couldn't stop these players, not because they weren't trying.

Bill seemed rather displeased; being cut in half by Jia Fei was truly humiliating. Even though it was Jia Fei, being cut in half like that—how could it not be shameful?

"Jia Fei's defense is so clean and amazing! Absolutely incredible! Bill had no choice but to take the ball away!" Wang Meng exclaimed.

"Jia Fei's arms are so long! Bill thought he had passed the ball, but he just grabbed it back in one go!" Yang Yi said.

Isaiah Thomas attacked, using a screen to drive to the free-throw line and pull up for a jump shot, but Bridges, who was chasing behind him, blocked it with his long arms!

Jia Fei got the ball, dribbled over, and suddenly used an in-out crossover to get past Troy Brown, cutting to the basket and delivering a powerful tomahawk dunk!

Wow—13:22, the score difference has reached 9 points!

The Wizards called another timeout!

The situation is getting out of control. The Wizards are being crushed on both offense and defense. The opponent's offensive efficiency is too high, and they can do whatever they want.

The timeout didn't solve anything. The Wizards' offense could still hold up, but their defense was truly incapable of stopping any of them. They couldn't stop the returning Paul George and Danilo Gallinari, they couldn't stop Olynyk's three-pointers, they couldn't stop Bridges' off-ball movement, and it was only natural that Jia Fei couldn't stop them.

The Wizards gradually settled into their rotation, bringing in Ish Smith and Bertans. However, neither of these players is known for their defense, and their presence didn't make much of a difference.

Jia Fei played 10 minutes in the first quarter, making all four of his shots for 9 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, and dishing out 9 assists!

Nine assists in a single quarter! This is a new personal NBA career record for Jia Fei!

With Jia Fei orchestrating the offense, the Clippers scored 50 points in the first quarter, completely overwhelming the Wizards.

Although the Wizards also scored 30 points, they were still 20 points behind their opponents in the quarter.

The rest of the game was quite simple: a back-and-forth shootout to see who could outscore the other. Even with the Clippers' strong perimeter defense, they didn't exert themselves too much on defense. NBA players are human; when offense can overwhelm an opponent, they don't have the strong desire to engage in physical defense. Defense is extremely physically demanding, and the NBA regular season is too long to expect players to play with explosive energy every game.

At halftime, the Clippers led 62-90, a 38-point advantage!

贾飞半场得到14分5个篮板14次助攻3个抢断1个盖帽，半场助攻就已经上双，打得太轻松了。

With his teammates in such good form, Jia Fei doesn't need to attack too much himself. He can just pass the ball to his teammates, rack up some assists, and the victory will be in his grasp soon.

Before, when Paul George and others were not playing, they were quite exhausted in several games against strong teams, but the exhaustion in this game was negligible.

In the third quarter, the Clippers scored 48 points, effectively ending any suspense in the game.

Jia Fei dished out 8 assists in the third quarter, and a total of 22 assists in the three quarters, leading his team to a crushing victory over their opponents.

The final quarter became garbage time, and Jia Fei clocked out after three quarters.

Ultimately, the Clippers defeated the visiting Wizards 122-153 at home, avoiding a two-game losing streak.

贾飞本场比赛只打了不到3节，轻松砍下21分7个篮板22次助攻4个抢断2个盖帽的“奇葩数据”。

22 assists is Jia Fei's NBA career single-game assist record! His previous personal record was 20 assists, set this season.

The Clippers defeated the Wizards at home, bringing their record to 19 wins and 2 losses, continuing to hold the top spot in the league.

The Clippers have now overcome the injury period that began at the start of the season, not only maintaining their record but also welcoming back Paul George and Danilo Gallinari.

Two days later, on December 4, the Clippers continued their home game against the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are a strong team with a strong perimeter game, and the Clippers are least afraid of teams with strong perimeter players. In this game, seven Clippers players scored in double figures, leading to a resounding victory at home and securing their second consecutive win.

After this game, the Clippers will embark on a six-game road trip. This consecutive road trip will be a test of their physical fitness.

On December 7, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Bucks in a highly anticipated matchup, securing their third consecutive win.

Two days later, the Clippers faced the Wizards again, and easily defeated them on the road, securing their fourth consecutive win.

On December 10th, the Clippers will play the Pacers on the road in a back-to-back game.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of the Flying Paul and Paul George duo, the Clippers defeated their opponent on the road, achieving a five-game winning streak.

On December 12, the Clippers defeated the Raptors on the road, achieving their sixth consecutive victory.

Two days later, they will face the Timberwolves in the fourth away game of their six-game road trip.

The Timberwolves were completely unable to stop the Clippers, who went on a seven-game winning streak.
