Chapter 478 New Playoff Single-Game Assist Record
Turner was complaining about the referee, and Stotts couldn't help but complain as well.
Jia Fei continued to pass the ball to Gallinari, creating space for Gallinari to dominate CJ in the low post!
CJ is seriously fed up. Don't you guys ever get tired of using the same old tricks? Can't you come up with something new?
Gallinari, however, didn't care; he was already in offensive mode, and it had been a long time since he'd had such a satisfying one-on-one game. Many Clippers fans don't know that he was once the 8th overall pick, a man nicknamed "The Italian Cannon" by fans. While he might not be able to score twice in one night, two or three times is a piece of cake!
Aminu couldn't take it anymore and went to help defend!
Jia Fei cuts through the air, and Gallinari immediately passes the ball!
Jia Fei received the ball without even looking and flicked it to the right wing!
The fans in the stadium gasped in astonishment, "Is this even possible?"
That's definitely possible. Paul George receives the ball on the right wing, and there's a wide-open space!
Pickled pepper drew his bow and shot a three-pointer... The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and accurately entered the basket!
2:9, the Clippers went on a 9-0 run, forcing the Trail Blazers to call a timeout!
General Jordan's three-pointer was like a fire from hell, completely igniting the flames in the Staples Center.
Staples Center erupted... Los Angeles fans have been fortunate since the start of this year's playoffs, as the arena hasn't lost a single game. Jia Fei's ability to control the game, and the strength this team has displayed in the playoffs, make it easy to become a fan.
During this mini-surge, Jia Fei didn't score, but he delivered 4 assists. All 9 points came from his assists, demonstrating just how strong his playmaking ability is right now.
"Jia Fei is really amazing. I didn't even see how he passed the ball out!" Wang Meng exclaimed.
"Jia Fei is indeed impressive, which is why I said the Trail Blazers had no chance! Lillard can shoot, CJ can shoot, but they can't defend! In the playoffs, if your defense is weak, you'll be easily targeted. Take the last possession for example, why did Aminu double-team? It's because he couldn't stand seeing CJ getting beaten so badly! The Clippers are targeting Gallinari, specifically his defensive weakness. If you can't handle it, they'll keep attacking you until it hurts," Yang Yi said.
The timeout is over and the game continues.
The Trail Blazers are on offense, and Lillard brings the ball over.
Lillard passed the ball to Nurkic in the high post, and then the two shooters started making off-ball runs!
The crossbowman is playing the role of Warrior Green in the high post, looking for opportunities.
Lillard suddenly cut out using an off-ball screen, the crossbowman handed him the ball, and then set another off-ball screen for him!
Lillard found a brief opportunity to shoot, and a three-pointer went in...
The ball went into the basket!
Wow--
The Clippers fans at the scene were also in a cold sweat. Beverley had defended this shot very well, but his cousin was still able to make it. Sometimes these kinds of shots are purely a display of individual skill. Of course, the Trail Blazers' teamwork was also very good. It seems that they had communicated during the timeout.
Beverley brought the ball over and passed it to Jia Fei again.
CJ is flanking and defending here, while Nuka is also waiting for an opportunity to help defend!
Jia Fei pretended to continue trying to pass the ball to Gallinari, but then suddenly made a through pass...
The ball is in Olynyk's hands near the penalty area!
Olynyk received the ball, and by then it was too late for Nukaku to react and defend...
Olynyk launched a shot—and it went in perfectly!
5:11, Jia Fei's 5th assist!
Clippers head coach Mike Budenholzer couldn't help but applaud from the sidelines. This play was a feint, a clear indication of the opponent's defense. His ability to read the game is much better than when he played for the Hawks.
Lillard took another three-pointer, but this time he missed!
Nuka grabbed the offensive rebound, pushed past Olynyk to get up for a strong shot, but was blocked by a double block from Jia Fei and Paul George!
Beverley gets the ball and passes it to Jia Fei!
Jia Fei received the ball and advanced, making a crossover while moving to get past Turner and drive straight to the basket. Facing Aminu's help defense, he switched hands in mid-air and scored with a left-handed layup!
5:13, a difference of 8 points!
The Trail Blazers were struggling offensively and defensively, finding themselves completely on the back foot.
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who was in attendance at the game tonight, was all smiles at Jia Fei's performance. He felt that the best thing he had done with the team over the past two years was to recruit Jia Fei at all costs. Right now, Jia Fei appears to be a far better core player than 58 and Blake Griffin, and most importantly, this star is only 26 years old; his future is limitless.
The Clippers used their matchup advantage to relentlessly suppress the Trail Blazers on offense. This forced the Trail Blazers to make a substitution halfway through the first quarter, replacing CJ McCollum with Connaughton.
But substituting CJ didn't help. With CJ out, the defensive focus was entirely on Lillard, making it very difficult for him.
Lillard isn't particularly adept at breaking double teams. His passing is limited by his height, especially when he's deep in position, resulting in low-quality passes that don't find open teammates as accurately as Jia Fei or Paonan. In such situations, he becomes more determined to break double teams.
The Trail Blazers' starting lineup got crushed by the Clippers, so they wanted to move CJ to the second unit to lead the team and narrow the gap.
CJ wasn't really targeted in the second unit, but the Trail Blazers' second unit was still too limited in strength.
Zach Collins, Connaughton, Napier, and Ed Davis are just ordinary substitutes who can't change the course of the game.
Even in a high-scoring game, the Clippers are not afraid.
At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led by 10 points, 23-33.
The second quarter began. The Clippers continued to maintain their advantage on the court. The Trail Blazers' star duo was contained, and the other players could only launch piecemeal attacks, resulting in a lack of offensive continuity.
As for defense, the Trail Blazers' defense is leaky everywhere. Whoever Lillard and CJ guarded, they scored. Nurkic was stuck in the pit and Olynyk hit a three-pointer. The defense was completely out of control.
At halftime, the score was 45-62, a difference of 17 points.
The Clippers' strength lies not only in their outstanding, unstoppable offense, but also in their exceptional defense, which is capable of containing a strong perimeter team.
The second half was uneventful. Lippi occasionally scored one or two difficult goals, which made the fans in the stadium shout "Holy crap!", but it did nothing to change the course of the game.
Ultimately, the Clippers easily defeated the Trail Blazers 99-121 at home, winning Game 1 of the series.
贾飞全场贡献26分8个篮板15次助攻3个抢断1个盖帽，其中15次助攻刷新了他NBA季后赛单场助攻记录。
Gallinari scored 27 points, setting a new single-game scoring record since joining the Clippers. Paul George also scored 24 points, and the three combined for 77 points, completely overwhelming the Trail Blazers.
