NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 519 Team History Single-Game 3-Point Record

Henson is the type of athletic big man who has decent speed but lacks a solid lower body. His offensive style is all about easy baskets; he can't score in the paint, his shooting ability is practically zero, and he's no threat outside the paint—just a utility big man.

In today's league, this type of center isn't highly sought after. The reason is that offensively, they can't do much beyond scoring in the paint, and their ability to finish plays is also average. Furthermore, their pick-and-roll finishing isn't aggressive enough; Harrell and Cardiff are prime examples of this.

Henson's shot-blocking ability is decent on the defensive end, but his rebounding is weak and his positioning is poor, often resulting in him being pushed out of the paint by bigger opponents, which is really frustrating.

After Henson entered the game, the Clippers continued to target the center with pick-and-roll plays.

Henson can delay switching on defense, but if he switches onto Jia Fei, he's just asking for trouble. The worst part is on offense. With Henson and Giannis both crowding under the basket, the Clippers don't even need to extend their defense outwards. They can simply collapse their defense under the basket and keep an eye on Middleton and Brogdon.

With the Bucks' offensive spacing becoming stagnant, Giannis Antetokounmpo found it even harder to penetrate, leading to more turnovers, which allowed the Clippers to launch a flurry of fast breaks.

On the Bucks' side, Coach Doc Rivers began to make substitutions, and four rotation players—Ilyasova, Connaughton, Snell, and DiVincenzo—came into the game one after another.

The Clippers also started making substitutions, with players like Harrell from the second unit coming on, and both sides began to compete in rotation.

It's clear that the Clippers still have the advantage in terms of rotation. Lou Williams is simply undefendable in this kind of game, but his defensive issues don't matter because Dillon and Bridges, the two defensive wing players, are covering for him. It's really too comfortable for them.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led by 15 points, 24:39.

贾飞首节命中4记3分球砍下22分，另外还有4个篮板4次助攻2个抢断1个盖帽的数据，表现简直炸裂到银河系！

The Clippers' five-outside lineup is a complete disaster against the Bucks' traditional big lineup. Brook Lopez's defensive stifling is no match for Giannis Antetokounmpo's three-point shooting prowess; it's a one-sided affair. Giannis, besides mindlessly attacking the paint, has no other offensive weapons; he's practically a brute. The fact that such a player is the league's favored champion in the East shows just how desolate the Eastern Conference's star players have become.

The second quarter started the same way. As long as Brook Lopez was on the court, the defense was always stagnant and retreating. Even if they were shot dead, it was the players' fault. Coach Li looked like he was sitting on a fishing platform, occasionally standing on the sidelines and saying "Comeon" a few times, like he was possessed by Bosh.

Lin Ning sat three meters away from Jia Fei, feeling inexplicably happy. Jia Fei's charisma on the court was too strong. She had already thought it was incredible when she saw him on TV before, but now that she was here in person, she was completely captivated by this man once again.

At halftime, the point difference had widened to 27 points, meaning the game was essentially over by halftime.

Intermission.

"Charles, the Bucks are down by 27 points at halftime. Give them some advice!" Kenny Smith urged.

“Kenny, the Bucks have a coach, why would they need me to give them advice? Doug is a championship-winning coach, do you think Doug can’t think of the solutions we can?” Barkley retorted.

“You know Doug doesn’t like change!” Kenny Smith continued.

"There's nothing we can do. That's just how Doug is. He won't make any adjustments even if we get reversed. All the Clippers players who have worked with him know that." Barkley was at a loss.

Who said Old Li couldn't make adjustments? He did adjust the defensive strategy in the second half.

In the first half, Brook Lopez's defense was weak and he was forced to retreat. At the start of the second half, whenever Jia Fei and the player defending Brook Lopez ran a pick-and-roll, they would double-team Jia Fei relentlessly, while the others would rotate to defend against the opponent's offense.

The problem is that Jia Fei's passes are too fast and accurate, while Da Luo's movement is too slow, so the double-teaming effect is not good.

As a result, the Clippers hit eight three-pointers in the third quarter, completely blowing up the game.

Jia Fei clocked out after three quarters, racking up 30+10+12+4+2, a triple-double in hand, easily and completely controlling the game.

In the final quarter, the Clippers' bench players all came on to play, and Brunson and others took advantage of the situation to their advantage, showing no mercy to the Bucks' third unit and completely dominating them.

Ultimately, the Clippers crushed the Eastern Conference-leading Bucks by 40 points at home, 100-140, marking their biggest win of the season.

Seven Clippers players scored in double figures, and the team made 24 three-pointers, setting a new franchise record!

The Bucks' defensive strategy paid the price; being riddled with arrows is certainly unpleasant, but Coach Doc Rivers seemed remarkably calm. He's always been like this; even after a playoff collapse, he remained unfazed. Many believe he has the thickest skin of any NBA head coach, completely lacking any sense of shame. They think that once the contract is in hand, he's all that matters—great attitude, plenty of motivational speeches, leaving the game to the players, and leaving the outcome to fate…

After the game, Jia Fei stood up and saw Lin Ning on the sidelines. A thought suddenly occurred to him. He took off his jersey, tossed it to her, and said, "Help me wash this!"

Lin Ning was completely dumbfounded. What the hell was this? You want me to wash your jersey? Why should I?

She was about to question Jia Fei, but Jia Fei didn't give her the chance and left, leaving her with his back turned.

Lin Ning's cheeks were puffed out, and she was a little depressed. But then a group of fans surrounded her, eager to ask her for her jersey.

"Don't give it to us, we want it, we really want it!" The group of fans stared longingly at Jia Fei's "original" jersey in Lin Ning's hand, their eyes looking just like a group of fat otaku who wanted to get their goddess's "original" underwear.

"I won't give it to you! Humph—" Lin Ning's stubbornness flared up. She could refuse it, but she wouldn't give it away so easily. She planned to keep the jersey, but getting her to wash it was out of the question. Why should I? I'm not your wife!

Lin Ning carefully packed the jersey into his backpack and then left the stadium with a flourish, leaving behind the fans who wanted the jersey.

On her way back, Lin Ning became increasingly upset. She texted Jia Fei, asking him why he made her do his laundry, saying she didn't want to!

Unexpectedly, Jia Fei replied with something that almost made her furious: "You'll definitely have to do your husband's laundry after you get married, so consider this a practice run!"

These words made Lin Ning decide not to wash Jia Fei's clothes, even if the clothes were covered in mold, she just wouldn't wash them, she just wouldn't wash them!

Although Jia Fei is her idol, she is not his servant. She only washes clothes for her loved ones or her parents, not her basketball idol!

Jia Fei returned to the home team's locker room, where the atmosphere was excellent; the whole team was happy with such a big victory.
