Chapter 315 Green Makes His Move
The Warriors inbound the ball from the baseline, sending it to the top of the key.
Green came out to set a screen and continued to double-team Curry.
The ball got to Green, who dribbled towards the basket, creating a numerical advantage and drawing a foul from Barnes.
Barnes went to the free-throw line and made one of two shots.
The Warriors lead 4-2.
Teague dribbled over, and Jia Fei came out to ask for the ball.
Jia Fei also noticed that the team wasn't finding it easy to get Teague to initiate the offense. The opposing team was consistently targeting his inaccurate mid-range and long-range jump shots, and couldn't effectively exploit Bogut's presence in the paint.
One of the Warriors' defensive weaknesses in their starting lineup is having a dominant center, which the Hawks can exploit with their five-outside lineup.
Jia Fei received the ball and called for Horford to come up for a screen.
The Warriors' strategy was to delay the game, prevent switching, and stop Bogut from handing the ball to Jia Fei for a "military training" session, giving Horford a fleeting opportunity.
Jia Fei quickly passed the ball to Horford!
Horford received the ball and suddenly drove to the basket, but Green was on two-man defense and left Mills open!
Horford passed the ball to Mills, who dunked it in!
4-4, the Hawks finally scored their first open goal of the game.
The cheers from the crowd immediately erupted. Horford played exceptionally tough on this play, utilizing Jia Fei's presence and quick passing to read the opponent's defense perfectly and complete a brilliant offensive sequence.
Yu Jia, who was commentating on the scene, exclaimed, "Both Jia Fei and Horford made some brilliant passes on that play!"
Coach Zhang nodded repeatedly: "Both players played very well on that play, and Millsap's finish was also brilliant!"
The Warriors were on offense, and Barnes was left wide open, but his three-point attempt missed!
Jia Fei grabbed the rebound, dribbled the ball up the court, accelerated wildly, overtook everyone, and faced Curry's defense, choosing to drive straight through him!
Curry seemed stunned, and ultimately gave up on going head-to-head, stepping back a bit to allow Jia Fei to complete his tomahawk dunk!
4-6, the Hawks scored consecutive points and took the lead!
The cheers at the Philips Arena grew louder and louder, reaching their highest point since the start of the game.
The on-site director skillfully switched the camera, focusing on Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins, the "Human Highlight Film." When it comes to dunking, no one present was more qualified to speak on the subject than him.
Jia Fei's mentor, Coach Cahon, smiled and nodded, saying to his protégé Kemba Walker beside him, "Jia Fei is really getting better and better. I still can't believe he could become this good one day. It seems I'm really getting old; I can no longer see the potential in a player!"
Kemba Walker was also at a loss for words. Let alone his mentor, Coach Cahon, he was equally astonished and speechless. Jia Fei seemed to have mastered some kind of magic technique over the past few years, his physique and technique improving like he was on drugs—he was practically superhuman. He could only guess that perhaps his good friend had taken some kind of miraculous Chinese herbal medicine.
Speaking of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Kemba Walker also finds it particularly amazing. He has a friend who seemed to have problems in that area, being too weak. After undergoing TCM treatment, he is now full of energy again, which is simply amazing.
The Warriors were on offense. Bogut tried to use his height advantage by posting up high under the basket, but his hook shot was interfered with by Jia Fei, who came over to help defend – no chance!
Mi Shen collected the board and passed it to Jia Fei to push forward.
Jia Fei brought the ball over and continued to run a pick-and-roll with Horford. Taking advantage of a communication error by the Warriors, he suddenly passed between two of their defenders!
He forced his way through the middle, heading straight for the basket. At that moment, only Green was guarding the rim!
Green is said to be over two meters tall, but in fact his actual height is only 198cm, shorter than Jia Fei. He guards the paint with his strong body, amazing energy and fearless style.
He didn't run away, nor was he afraid of being blocked by Jia Fei. He went up to him and pulled Jia Fei down!
Jia Fei crashed heavily to the ground, and the referee's whistle blew!
That's definitely a foul!
Jia Fei also fell and was in pain, so he lay on the ground to recover.
The fans at the scene were furious and started criticizing Green, but he acted like nothing had happened, shrugging his shoulders and looking completely innocent!
Horford and Millsson were furious and went up to demand an explanation. Art Mayork from the bench rushed over and angrily shoved Green!
The referee blew his whistle repeatedly to control the situation, creating a tense atmosphere.
Jia Fei was pulled up from the floor by Teague and Carol.
"Are you alright, Ja?" Teague asked.
"It's okay, I'm fine!" Green's foul was indeed very hard, but Jia Fei is not made of tofu, and this level of foul was not enough to injure him.
The referee stopped the game to review the video replay and determine whether the foul was intentional.
"Coach Zhang, do you think Green's foul was a malicious foul?" Yu Jia asked.
Coach Zhang nodded: "Of course this foul counts. It was clearly aimed at the player. It would be unreasonable not to call such a foul a malicious foul."
The fans booed Green, who already has a bad reputation in the league, racking up a ton of technical fouls this season and being the Warriors' villain.
After reviewing the case for a while, the referee issued a technical foul to both Green and Art Mayork!
The fans at the stadium were naturally unable to accept this result and responded with a huge chorus of boos.
Curry made the technical free throw for the Warriors.
Jia Fei also made his technical free throw!
Jia Fei still had two free throws to take, while Green muttered to himself, "Basketball doesn't lie, the referees are fair!"
"Shut your stinking mouth, it stinks!" Jia Fei shook his head and focused on his free throw.
"You just dunk, even God wouldn't doubt that!" Green teased.
“If God knew he had subjects like you, he would be furious!” Jia Fei said.
Jia Fei remained unaffected, his mind completely calm, and he calmly made both free throws.
5-8, the Hawks lead by 3 points!
I don't know if it's because the call just now was a bit unfair, but the Warriors' offense was called for a moving screen foul!
Jia Fei is no stranger to this kind of drama of trying to make up for a foul. Sometimes the referees in the league just like to do this. You could have just made a strict and objective call, but now you're trying to make up for it, which makes both sides unhappy.
On the sidelines, Warriors' home crowd leader Steve Kerr stood up excitedly, almost rushing onto the court to confront the referee. He's known for his refined demeanor as a commentator, but in reality, he's not someone to be trifled with; when he gets angry, even he's afraid of himself.
Teague dribbled over and passed the ball to Jia Fei.
Facing Barnes, Jia Fei suddenly started, accelerated and broke through, then changed direction while moving and pulled the ball to his left hand, then accelerated past his opponent, who immediately retreated!
Jia Fei smashed the ball into the bottom corner, passing it to Carroll!
Big open!
Carroll had already gone 0-for-2, but he had to take those shots!
Carroll takes a three-pointer—and this time he finally makes it!
5:11, the score difference has reached 6 points, Warriors call a timeout!
