NBA: Rising Superstar!

Pope received the pass without a moment's hesitation, jumped and shot a three-pointer, cutting through like a knife.

"Swish!"

115 to 109.

The Nuggets seized every critical point.

.....

.....

The Nuggets controlled the game all along, but Zeng Xingyang didn't score in the following possessions, just when everyone thought he would stay at 55 points.

The final 37 seconds.

Zeng Xingyang got a one-on-one chance against Paul.

Faced with Paul, Zeng Xingyang started his dazzling hand movements.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With continuous pulls left and right, Zeng Xingyang successfully drew attention to the right.

Paul shifted his weight to the right, and Zeng Xingyang then moved the ball to the left, completely breaking their rhythm apart.

He then gathered the ball and took a three-point jump shot.

Paul gave it his all, lunging towards Zeng Xingyang.

Yet it was of no avail.

The height difference was too great.

"Swish!"

A direct hit!!

123 to 112.

Rivers called a desperate timeout.

Zeng Xingyang's shot secured the victory.

Even if the Clippers pulled a 13 points in 35 seconds, it wouldn't save them.

58 points!

Zeng Xingyang broke Jennings' record, tying Chamberlain's rookie record of 58 points in a game.

Paul stared blankly, eyes wide at the 58 on the scoreboard.

That number was so glaring!

Why is it that again!

"Beautiful!"

"Awesome!!"

"Breaking records like it's nothing."

"Paul, a seven-time All-Defensive First Team, was completely devastated."

"Cannot stop this level of offense."

"Paul got schooled one-on-one all night."

The fans screamed.

Taylor Swift could not help but lick her lips, eyes fixated on Zeng Xingyang.

This Zeng Xingyang looked so sexy.

Must get this man tonight!!

The big screens kept replaying Zeng Xingyang's highlights from tonight.

"Chamberlain scored 58 points in two rookie season games (once with 42 rebounds, once with 24 rebounds), but those instances are too far back for accurate data statistics!"

"So the universally recognized rookie scoring record holder is Brandon Jennings, drafted tenth overall by the Bucks in 2009. On November 14, 2009, in a game where the Bucks beat the Warriors, he hit 21 of 34 shots, including 7 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws, tallying a super stat of 55 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. This night, Zeng Xingyang broke his record!"

"58 points, reminds me of a certain playoff game, 2009, when Chris Paul's Hornets (now Pelicans) lost 63-121 to the Nuggets, setting the largest single-game point differential in NBA playoff history!"

"I think Chris Paul is very familiar with this number, two eras of the Nuggets etched him into the pillar of shame."

"Zeng Xingyang has shown unlimited potential, but he needs to be aware that the previous record holder, Brandon Jennings, apart from being in the All-Rookie team, garnered no personal honors in his eight-year NBA career! If he wants to avoid the same fate, he needs to consistently improve."

"I am certain that Zeng Xingyang won't be like Brandon Jennings, this is something I am confident about. While other rookies are growing slowly, he's like Musk's rocket, soaring high, unstoppable."

Barkley, Smith, Miller, and O'Neal were galvanized.

Zeng Xingyang's personal stats tonight were extraordinary!

On the court, the game soon ended, the score unchanged from before the timeout.

The Nuggets easily defeated the Clippers.

Zeng Xingyang first hugged and high-fived every teammate, tonight was destined to be a great night.

This game was beyond just being wonderful, it brought pure shock to everyone.

Truly, there's a rookie who can score 58 points in his first year!

Chamberlain's era is too distant, but Zeng Xingyang's era is happening now.

Zeng Xingyang presented a visual feast tonight, like a Hollywood blockbuster, bringing the seemingly impossible into reality before fans.

Zeng Xingyang's stats tonight were 58 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks, and 4 turnovers.

Although there were 4 turnovers, it did not detract from the madness Zeng Xingyang created in the game.

The fans were almost used to the madness Zeng Xingyang created.

Used to the shock this rookie brings.

And Zeng Xingyang's teammate Jokic perfectly played the role of a second hand, with 12 points, 21 assists, and 10 rebounds, Jokic accomplished a rare triple-double, with 11 of those assists going to Zeng Xingyang.

Jokic broke the rookie assist record, becoming the center with the most assists.

Even though Zeng Xingyang shone bright tonight, he couldn't entirely overshadow this outstanding Serbian big man.

Jokic's assist numbers rose quietly, and when Barkley, O'Neal, and others saw the final stat sheet, they were stunned.

Jokic's playstyle is completely different from traditional big men, his talent in passing and playmaking is evident.

When he plays alongside Zeng Xingyang, his stats skyrocket.

Is the center position going to undergo a revolution?

On the Clippers' side.

Paul recorded a standard double-double of 21 points and 10 assists, not a terrible personal performance.

But fans and commentators found it hard to deem Paul's performance as adequate tonight, mainly because Zeng Xingyang played out of his mind.

Paul spent 80% of the time defending Zeng Xingyang, who seemed exceptionally excited to play against Paul.

To the point that, at one point Barkley yelled for Paul to be benched to calm Zeng Xingyang's fury.

Apart from Paul, Griffin had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Little Jordan had 8 points and 7 rebounds.

The Clippers' best performer was Crawford with 32 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Zeng Xingyang, after greeting his teammates, went over to hug and acknowledge Paul.

As always, there wasn't much personal grudge with Paul, matters on the court are settled on the court.

"Zeng, you know I feel like killing you right now?" Paul said bitterly, looking at Zeng Xingyang.

"Hey, buddy, don't harbor such resentment, I didn't score 58 points on purpose." Zeng Xingyang kindly patted Paul's head.

Looks like the number 58 is bound to Paul for life.

"Don't be so happy, I'll beat you next time." Paul, ignoring being patted on the head by Zeng Xingyang, glared at him, then turned and left after making a harsh remark.

Zeng Xingyang watched Paul's unyielding back, smiling.

This bald head has a nice slick feel.

....

At the post-game press conference.

"Click, click, click!!"

The Los Angeles reporters were several times more than those in Denver, and the local media were more passionate.

As soon as Zeng Xingyang appeared, the media reached a small climax.

Zeng Xingyang, Jokic, and Mike Malone slowly pulled out their chairs and sat down.

An ESPN reporter asked, "Zeng, you've broken Brandon Jennings' NBA rookie scoring record, how do you feel right now?"

Zeng Xingyang said, "I'm very happy, of course, achieving such a remarkable honor in my rookie season, but, more than personal records, I care more about the team's victory, our ultimate goal is to win games consistently, my teammates all played so hard, I thank them for their effort."

Hearing Zeng Xingyang's reply, Mike Malone couldn't stop grinning.

In Mike Malone's view, Zeng Xingyang is now the perfect player.

Not only with exceptional personal skills but also fantastic team awareness.

Tonight's game was won by Zeng Xingyang's personal ability, but he still credited the entire team.

So mature, truly so mature, a qualified team leader.

The reporter continued, "You previously said you want to surpass Michael, has tonight's effort already started towards that goal?"

Zeng Xingyang said, "I will strive to be the best I can step by step, then surpass him, of course, the main aim is to help the team achieve the championship goal."

The reporter asked, "Do you think you will be strong contenders for the championship this season?"

Zeng Xingyang said, "It's useless what I think, it's how the opponents perceive us."

The reporters were all stunned.

Clippers, Rockets, Thunder, Warriors, they all have been beaten by the Nuggets.

These teams would be worried if they encounter the Nuggets.

The Nuggets have now become a disrupter in the West.

Dare to ignore them, and you will pay the bloody price.
