NBA: Rising Superstar!

The cheers of the Staples Center erupted.

Like the fans of many teams, the fans here were convinced by Zeng Xingyang's performance.

Tonight, Zeng Xingyang's shooting on the court was almost a guaranteed score with every lift of his hand; they didn't even know how to boo him.

Because every boo was suppressed by Zeng Xingyang.

"Don't let him shoot so easily from the outside, Blake," Rivers shouted to Griffin.

Griffin felt numb hearing such a call.

He had already defended with all his might, but he couldn't stop him.

What else could he do?

The Clippers were back on offense.

After Paul dribbled past half court, he passed the ball to Crawford.

Pope was closely shadowing Crawford, not giving him any good opportunities.

After some continuous dribbling, Crawford didn't aggressively attack but instead passed the ball back to Paul on the other side.

Zeng Xingyang continued to pressure Paul, leaving Paul with no opportunities, so he lobbed the ball inside to Griffin.

Griffin was posting up Galinarli in the paint.

Using continuous bumps, Griffin found his advantage and forcibly spun around to the three-second zone past Galinarli.

Jokic's help defense was slow, and Griffin scored a steady layup.

108 to 107.

After scoring, Griffin yelled at Zeng Xingyang.

Griffin was venting his frustration.

Just as Griffin was venting, the Nuggets' counterattack came quickly.

Jokic went directly to the baseline to inbound the ball and made a quarterback-style long pass to Harris in the frontcourt.

The Clippers' defense was instantly penetrated, and Harris quickly passed the ball to the charging Zeng Xingyang.

Paul stood directly in Zeng Xingyang's path, covering his groin, trying to draw an offensive foul.

But Zeng Xingyang anticipated Paul's intention and used a Euro step to maneuver around him.

With a long reach, he guided the ball to the basket and made a steady flying layup.

110 to 107

Barkley, witnessing this, couldn't help but sigh: "The Nuggets' counterattack speed is outrageous now; if you don't keep an eye on Jokic's passes, the Clippers will suffer a lethal blow."

Smith said, "Yes, the Nuggets have adapted well to this offensive speed; they don't hold the ball, and they pass to the most suitable player to finish."

Miller said, "Chris attempting to draw an offensive foul was a bit forced, he gave Zeng too much room to change direction, and Zeng easily avoided it."

On the court, after completing the layup, Zeng Xingyang waved to Jokic and then high-fived Harris to celebrate.

The Clippers' offense.

Paul received the ball in the backcourt and dribbled past half court, with Zeng Xingyang applying pressing defense.

Paul had no chance to attack solo, so he attempted to set up a pick-and-roll play, with Griffin stepping up, but Zeng Xingyang squeezed through the screen, continuing to chase Paul.

Paul passed the ball to Griffin at the free-throw line, encouraging Griffin to attack Galinarli.

Looking at the current Nuggets lineup, Galinarli was possibly the only breakthrough point.

Griffin just started bodying up for an off-balance attack.

Pope emerged from his blind spot, nabbing the steal.

"Slap!"

Pope intercepted the ball.

The ball came out, and Zeng Xingyang gained control of it.

Zeng Xingyang quickly passed to Jokic and then started sprinting forward.

Jokic soon arrived at the frontcourt, constantly dribbling while scanning the court.

Zeng Xingyang led Griffin through positioning, feigning to receive a handoff from Jokic, but instead made a reverse cut inside.

Griffin was pulled out to defend Zeng Xingyang, leaving the Clippers' interior defense somewhat vacant.

Jokic spotted a fantastic opportunity and decisively lobbed the ball toward the sky.

Zeng Xingyang caught the ball with one hand, evaded Little Jordan's hurried block, and forcefully slammed the ball into the hoop.

"Boom!"

112 to 107

The Nuggets established a bit of a lead.

After landing, Zeng Xingyang pointed skyward with one hand and then high-fived Jokic to celebrate.

"These two are so in sync."

"I love seeing this kind of teamwork."

"Zeng Xingyang is going to break the rookie scoring record tonight."

"So impressive."

Domestic fans on the internet were ecstatic.

The Clippers' offense.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt.

Paul's expression was extremely grim.

Tonight, paired against Zeng Xingyang, he was completely outplayed.

Finally, after a series of tactical movements and ball rotations, Paul mismatched against Jokic.

Facing Jokic, Paul used agile dribbling to weave his way in.

Then Paul suddenly stopped and, with a slight change of pace, took a close-range shot.

"Swish!"

A straight arrow to the heart!!

112 to 109.

Paul's ability to exploit mismatches was still superb, forcing the Nuggets to pay attention to their defense.

Paul's play reinvigorated the on-site atmosphere, as fans cheered and rallied behind Paul.

After all, this was the home ground, and many fans didn't want the Clippers to lose this game.

Clippers fans were shouting vigorously.

They hoped Paul could continue to dominate and win the game.

The Nuggets were back on offense.

Zeng Xingyang dribbled to the front court.

The Clippers did not dare to double-team Zeng Xingyang easily now, mainly because the Nuggets' passing ability was very strong.

If they did attempt a double-team, their defensive line would easily be broken by the Nuggets.

However, when Zeng Xingyang reached the front court's right low post and started posting up Paul, the Clippers' double-team came anyway.

The Clippers didn't dare to bet on the success rate of Zeng Xingyang's current solo play, as his one-on-one attacks on Paul were too rampant tonight.

Crawford came over to double-team Zeng Xingyang.

Under the double pressure, Zeng Xingyang didn't pause even a bit but distributed the ball to Pope.

Pope was left wide open at the right 45-degree angle behind the arc.
