NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 280 Hawks vs. Wizards

Wall and "Polish Hammer" Gortat set a pick and roll.

Gortat ran pick-and-rolls with Nash and Dragic on the Suns, and his proficiency with pick-and-rolls was comparable to that of a photographer.

Wall's passing ability is still very strong and is underestimated. Many people think of him first as fast and second as having explosive physical attributes, but they don't realize that he is actually a guard with very good passing and playmaking abilities.

The Hawks have strong teamwork, excellent pick-and-roll defense, excellent help defense near the free-throw line, and excellent inside rotation and rotation.

Gortat's run down the flank failed to find a good opportunity, so Wall passed the ball to Paul Pierce on the right wing.

Bao Pi, as a small forward, has always been a representative of the ground-based style. He possesses excellent one-on-one rhythm. He doesn't have McGrady's first step, the running and jumping ability of a running man, or Durant's unstoppable shooting touch. As a representative of the classic small forward, his offensive rhythm, footwork, and ability to combine drives and shots are all excellent. Combined with his strong physique, even if he can't get past his defender, he can still score by twisting and turning, making him very suitable for the physical battles of the playoffs.

However, now that he's older, his explosiveness has decreased further, making it harder to shake off opponents. His shooting consistency has also declined, and his one-on-one ability has dropped significantly. In many cases, he's just a catch-and-shoot player. Time waits for no one!

But on the basketball court, no one will go easy on you just because you're old. This is a professional game. If you can't play anymore, you can choose to retire and stay on the bench like the old captain. There's no need to stubbornly occupy a starting position and rely on your seniority.

The foreskin receives the ball with a three-threat attack, followed by a feint.

Jia Fei remained unmoved. He had watched countless videos of this man's offense and knew his offensive habits inside and out. If he could fake him out so easily, then this All-Defensive Team player would be utterly incompetent!

Another important reason why Jia Fei wasn't fooled was his absolute confidence in his athletic ability. So what if he was a little slow? He could still overtake you and give you the wonderful experience of "the younger generation surpassing the older generation".

Bao Pi's move was a combo: a fake followed by a step-through, then leaning against Jia Fei before turning and using his strong body to cut inside, finally opting for a layup!

If this were during his prime, Jia Fei might not have been able to block his shot, but he's no longer at his peak...

Still too slow!

Jia Fei's defense was in place, but Bao Pi's layup went wide!

With Mills protecting the defensive rebound, Teague pushed the ball up the court.

After a series of passes in the frontcourt, Horford missed a three-pointer from the top of the arc!

But Jia Fei got the long rebound!

Jia Fei received the ball and, facing Bao Pi who was defending him, didn't even bother to fake it; he simply accelerated past him!

It was that simple—one acceleration, without even changing direction! He was just too fast, and the foreskin was just too slow…

Even at his peak, Pao Pi was slow on his feet. In the 08 Finals, Ray Allen was the one guarding Kobe. He has never been good at guarding speedy guards, and even Kobe wasn't among the fastest guards.

Although Jia Fei plays the small forward position for the Hawks, he is faster than Teague, who plays the point guard position.

Jia Fei suddenly appeared, immediately attracting a lot of defense. He passed the ball to Horford, who then passed it to Teague on the outside.

A wide-open shot, but Teague missed!

The Hawks had open looks on their first two possessions, but missed both. It was similar to their last game – lots of wide-open shots, but they just couldn't find the net. The Pelicans, on the other hand, seemed to be making every shot, and that's how it ended.

Wang Meng exclaimed, "There's no one within a 3-meter radius of this ball, hey, how come I can't make the shot?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "But you have to throw this ball, even if you can't score, you still have to throw it. The opportunity is right here with you!"

Nene grabbed the rebound and passed it to Wall to push the ball up the court.

Nene called for the ball with his back to the basket, and Wall passed it to him.

Nene gets the ball and turns his back to sit inside.

Jia Fei remembers that Nene only had one testicle left at this point. Would having only one testicle affect his sexual abilities? His athleticism doesn't seem to be affected; Nene has already dunked with both hands, pushing past Milwaukee. But will it affect his sexual abilities? Can anyone explain this to me? Waiting online…

Nene, nicknamed "One-Egg Superman," scored the first goal of the game.

The Hawks are still missing shots, now it's Milwaukee's turn to miss.

"One-Egg Superman" Nene grabs another rebound! He keeps using rebounds to tell everyone that he's fine and completely unaffected.

Nene continues to play against Milwaukee, which is a clear mismatch. Milwaukee is the height of a small forward playing a power forward, while Nene has always been the size of a center, but now he's playing power forward for the Wizards.

Mi Shen couldn't hold on any longer and committed a foul!

The Wizards inbound the ball, and it goes to Wall.

Wall continued searching for Nene; they seemed determined to make the most of this opportunity.

The Hawks opted for a double team, and Nene passed the ball out. The Hawks' defensive rotations were very fast!

Wall's jump shot missed!

But the Polish Hammer grabbed the offensive rebound! He pushed past Horford and forced a layup, only to be blocked out of bounds by a volleyball-style block from Jia Fei, who came over to help defend...

The Philips Arena finally erupted in applause; the home fans had been holding back for ages. Their team couldn't seem to make a shot, while the opposing team dominated the rebounds and dominated the paint.

Wang Meng exclaimed, "Wow, Jia Fei's jump is incredible! His head almost hit the backboard!"

Yang Yi twirled his pen: "The Hawks' interior lineup is still a bit too short. They can handle most teams, but they struggle against teams with twin towers. That's why the forwards need to help with defense, and Jia Fei did a great job!"

Over here, Bao Pi receives the ball, fakes a pass to Jia Fei, and then passes it to Bill.

Beal was the third overall pick in the 2012 draft and has excellent individual offensive skills. He received the ball, faced Korver, made a crossover, broke through, and went straight for a layup—and made it!

4-0, the Wizards lead by 4 points!

Korver didn't score a single three-pointer for the Hawks!

Teague fouled while grabbing the rebound!

Seeing the home team struggling so much on offense, the fans in the stadium were also worried for them.

Beal attacked and drove to the basket, drawing a foul from Korver.

Beal made both free throws, making the score 6-0.

After making the free throw, Beal trash-talked Korver: "You f***ing can't guard me!"

Korver was also angry, but he wasn't good at trash talk and didn't know how to retaliate for a moment.

Teague dribbled the ball over, and Jia Fei came out to receive it!

As soon as Jia Fei received the ball, the fans in the stadium erupted in screams. Clearly, everyone was expecting him, as the star player, to step up.

Jia Fei, with the ball facing Bao Pi, immediately chose to drive past him!

As the defense rushed in to help, Jia Fei changed direction and moved to the other side. He took a step into the paint and drew a foul from the Polish Hammer!
