...

The day after the sneaker release event, the G2 between the Nuggets and the Clippers started.

The starting players from both sides entered the court.

On the Nuggets' side: Zeng Xingyang, Harris, Pope, Grant, Jokic.

The Nuggets' starting lineup is very stable.

On the Clippers' side: Paul, Redick, Crawford, Griffin, Little Jordan.

Rivers made some adjustments, opting for a more offensively strong lineup.

Crawford's presence significantly boosts the Clippers' offense, but it weakens their defensive intensity.

Jump ball between Jokic and Little Jordan.

Little Jordan taps the ball to Paul.

Paul quickly dribbles past half-court.

Paul passes the ball to Redick, who then transfers it to Crawford.

The Clippers' additional offensive points indeed pose a challenge to the Nuggets' defense.

Crawford makes a nimble move to get past Pope, driving into the lane, facing Jokic's defense and shooting a floater.

Jokic didn't jump to interfere, and Crawford has a great touch.

"Swish!"

2 to 0.

The Clippers score in their first possession, looking in good form.

However, the Nuggets strike back quickly, as soon after Crawford scores, Jokic swiftly sprints to the baseline to inbound the ball.

Jokic makes a long pass to the front court, leaving the Clippers players speechless.

Even the baseline ball can be fast-tracked?

This is the playoffs.

Who is it for?

Jokic has already locked eyes with Zeng Xingyang, hardly needing to shout, as while Jokic throws the ball, Zeng Xingyang bursts into a sprint into the front court.

This is a pass leading the player.

The Clippers initially had Wesley Johnson marking Zeng Xingyang closely, but now it's Crawford defending him, who evidently lacks that awareness.

Moreover, Crawford was just on the offense, far removed from Zeng Xingyang's position.

Zeng Xingyang receives the ball in the front court, dribbles once to the right, directly bypassing Redick, then heads to a 60-degree position on the right, decisively slowing down to a stop and taking a shot.

Jokic's pass was stunning, completely tearing through the Clippers' defense.

The released basketball spins swiftly.

"Swish!"

The ball pierces through the net.

2 to 3.

The fans in the Denver Pepsi Center burst into cheers.

The Nuggets completed this counterattack in less than 4 seconds.

Barkley exclaimed, "The Nuggets' offense is too fast, clearly aiming to increase the pace at the start, and the Clippers' defense wasn't fully prepared."

Barkley was a bit worried that tonight's game might collapse again.

Smith said, "So far, it seems the Nuggets are more prepared, let's see how the Clippers will cope next."

On the court, the Clippers' offense resumes.

After Paul dribbles past half-court, he passes the ball to Griffin.

In the previous game, Griffin was criticized for not being aggressive enough, so tonight he's more decisive in attacking the inside.

"Bang!"

Griffin blasts the ball in, knocking Grant aside, and after a jump step gathers the ball below the basket, executing a steady layup.

4 to 3

For a player of Griffin's caliber, attacking the basket often becomes a question of will.

When he is determined to charge in, it's very hard for Grant to stop him.

Grant's disadvantage against Griffin is his insufficient weight and lackluster physical confrontation.

Grant isn't a strict 4-position player, whereas Griffin is a traditional 4-position player.

The Nuggets' offense.

Jokic receives the inbound pass and dribbles past the front court.

Little Jordan quickly comes over to press Jokic, and Paul is also ready to double-team.

Jokic doesn't dare be careless, quickly throwing the ball to Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles outside the left three-point line, with Crawford coming up to defend.

However, tonight he earnestly tries to guard Zeng Xingyang, constantly coming over to disrupt.

"Well done."

"Wow!"

The fans in the stadium scream.

Zeng Xingyang doesn't pause his move but quickly uses the space to decisively take a jump shot.

The basketball arcs beautifully in the air.

"Swish!"

Another three-pointer lands.

4 to 6.

Clippers' offense resumes.

Paul dribbles to the front, seeing Zeng Xingyang making consecutive threes on the court.

This puts pressure on him, as he didn't anticipate Zeng Xingyang's explosive touch from the start, indicating challenging games ahead for the Clippers.

Paul executes the tactical gesture upon reaching the front court, after circulating, the ball eventually reaches the right side with Crawford.

Zeng Xingyang continues to press Crawford.

On the move, Crawford hands the ball to the advancing Griffin.

6 to 6.

Griffin seems determined to prove himself today.

Griffin playing this tough is sometimes a matter of willpower for a player of his caliber.

When he charges toward the inside with determination, it's really tough for Grant to stop him.

Grant's disadvantage against Griffin is inadequate weight and less resistance.

Grant is not strictly speaking a 4-position player, while Griffin is a traditional 4-position player.

Nuggets on offense.

Jokic receives a pass from Grant and quickly dribbles forward.

Little Jordan rushes to press Jokic, with Paul ready for a double team.

Jokic doesn't dare to be careless, quickly tossing the ball to Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles to the left corner beyond the three-point line, with Crawford stepping up to defend.

Crawford is often criticized for his defense, being too thin and not very committed.

Nevertheless, tonight he's trying hard to stop Zeng Xingyang, constantly closing in to interfere.

Zeng Xingyang passes the ball to Jokic, who returns it, with Zeng Xingyang motioning to space out.

With the space opened, Zeng Xingyang quickly begins his behind-the-back move with a triple threat.

Crawford adjusts his defensive steps, and Zeng Xingyang decisively drives to the right.

Crawford is immediately overtaken by a step from Zeng Xingyang, prompting him to quickly turn and chase back.
