NBA: Rising Superstar!

"For Zeng Xingyang, such an offense is quite adept."

"Now Xingyang is truly a superstar combining driving and shooting."

"I like this tough style."

"Go Nuggets!!"

Zeng Xingyang played this ball very toughly; a point guard crashing into the basket against a big center to make the shot.

"Well done." Jokic comes over to high-five Zeng Xingyang.

Jokic felt from Zeng Xingyang's actions that there was an attitude of having to win today's game.

Clippers' offense.

The fans at Staples Center cheer loudly.

Paul dribbles to the front court.

Clippers fans hope their team can beat the Nuggets at home and push the game to a decisive battle.

Completing a groundbreaking comeback from a 0-3 deficit would be unprecedented.

Zeng Xingyang leads the Nuggets players to pressure their respective defenders; even Paul feels the pressure as he advances past the halfway court.

Paul combines spin moves with his back to the basket, barely crossing the mid-court line within 8 seconds.

Paul passes the ball to Redick.

Harris doesn't give Redick an inch of space.

Redick bounces a pass to Griffin, but Griffin hasn't entirely held his position; Grant bypasses Griffin and directly completes a steal.

Almost simultaneously, Zeng Xingyang accelerates upon seeing Grant make the steal.

Grant dribbles forward in big strides.

The difference between the Nuggets and the Clippers is that all five players have counterattack capabilities; when defense is successful, the Nuggets' counterattack speed is formidable.

Grant quickly crosses half court, Zeng Xingyang distracts the defense, Grant passes the ball over Redick's head, then attracts Bamot's defense and throws the ball high into the air.

Zeng Xingyang races past Bamot, leaps into the air, and fiercely slams the ball.

"Boom!"

Over Bamot, the basketball is slammed into the net.

4 to 0.

Grant and the landed Zeng Xingyang give a resounding high-five.

"Nice defense, keep it up," Zeng Xingyang encourages Grant.

Grant nods.

In this series, Grant has been mostly overpowered by Griffin; such a steal is a rare brilliant moment.

The Nuggets' bench continues to shout, determined to finish off the Clippers today without relaxing as they did before.

On the sidelines, Rivers frowns as he continually arranges player positioning; the Clippers' start isn't as smooth as before.

"The Nuggets' defensive counter is really awesome, and Grant's pass was excellent."

"The Nuggets players are very versatile; once they start running, the Clippers can't stop them."

"This counterattack was really fast, taking only 4 seconds."

"The Nuggets are a new era team, while the Clippers seem outdated, moving sluggishly."

Fans on the internet discuss animatedly.

Clippers' offense.

Paul continues to carry Zeng Xingyang's defense to the front court.

Continues organizing.

Paul passes the ball to Griffin in the low right post.

This time he passes the ball himself, afraid of passing to Redick and getting it intercepted again.

After Griffin receives the ball, he uses his back to bump against Grant, creating space, then turns and adjusts his steps for a shot.

"Boom!"

"Swish!"

The basketball hits the inner edge of the rim and falls in.

4 to 2.

Griffin uses his jump shot to finish this play, showcasing his smooth touch.

Fans at Staples Center cheer.

Nuggets' offense.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles to the front court and passes to Jokic.

At the top of the arc, Jokic holds the ball high and directs his teammates' positioning.

Once teammates spread out, Jokic passes the ball back to Zeng Xingyang.

Jokic then makes a screen for Zeng Xingyang, blocking Bamot.

Zeng Xingyang moves sideways with the ball, Little Jordan comes up to help, and Zeng Xingyang dribbles from the right to the left, using rhythm to pass.

Reaching the free-throw line, Griffin is ready under the basket; Zeng Xingyang doesn't drive further, but stops abruptly and quickly shoots a jump shot.

The basketball traces a beautiful arc.

"Swish!"

Right in the heart!!!

6 to 2

Zeng Xingyang comes up strong, scoring 6 points inside and out.

Zhang Weiping says, "It's evident that tonight Xingyang's offense is more decisive; he's coming out of the shadow of defeat."

Yu Jia says, "A strong start is very important for the Nuggets."

On the court, Zeng Xingyang also pumps his fist.

In the last game, his shooting touch was average, mainly due to some hesitation in shot selection.

This time, when there's an opening, he strengthens his decisiveness.

If Griffin guards the inside and doesn't step out, then he will fire from outside until forced out.

Zeng Xingyang is not afraid to charge the inside, but he won't rush recklessly.

The Clippers' offense.

Paul dribbles to the frontcourt, and goes for a pick-and-roll with Little Jordan.

After the pick-and-roll, Paul gives a bounce pass to Little Jordan.

Little Jordan rolls to the basket and takes off directly.

Zeng Xingyang and Grant both attempt to block him.

"Bang!"

"Beep beep!"

The three collide.

As the whistle blows, Grant immediately raises his hand indicating it was his foul.

The Nuggets players know that arguing is of little use; rather, they need to protect Zeng Xingyang's foul count.

Zeng Xingyang is too important for the Nuggets.

The referee gives the foul to Grant.

Little Jordan steps to the free-throw line, misses the first, and makes the second.

6 to 3.

Like Griffin, Little Jordan has increased his attacks on the basket, putting a lot of pressure on the Nuggets' interior defense.

The Nuggets' offense.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles to the frontcourt.

Jokic steps up to screen, but Bamot steps out early, forcing Jokic to angle his body slightly.

But Jokic knocks Bamot down.

"Beep beep!!"

The referee calls a screening foul on Jokic, giving the ball to the Clippers.

Jokic spreads his hands, looking quite helpless.

Zeng Xingyang pats him on the backside, not blaming him.

The Clippers' offense.

Paul dribbles to the frontcourt.

At the top of the arc, Paul and Griffin go for a hand-off screen exchange.

On the side, Redick uses Little Jordan's screen to shake off Harris' defense.

Paul passes the ball to Redick, and Redick shoots immediately.

The only purpose of Redick on the court is to shoot threes to draw the defense. In the first five playoff games, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 45%, but his defended shot attempts were few.

When he's open, he capitalizes effectively.

"Swish!"

6 to 6

The basketball pierces the net.

Barkley said, "JJ caught the Nuggets' defensive gap and completed an outside strike."

Smith said, "The Clippers have adapted to the intensity of the confrontation with the Nuggets, and they've found their offensive rhythm again."

Indeed, the two teams have met too often during this period, and both sides are increasingly understanding how to crack each other's defense.

The Nuggets' offense.

Jokic dribbles up the court.

After crossing half-court, Jokic hands the ball to Zeng Xingyang, then spreads out to create space.

Bamot defends Zeng Xingyang one-on-one.

Zeng Xingyang holds the ball on the left wing at a 30-degree angle, one meter from the three-point line, bending in a triple-threat position.

The other Nuggets players spread out as well.

Bamot extends his arms to stick as close as possible, trying to avoid being beaten by Zeng Xingyang with a single step while also disrupting his three-pointer.

This time, Zeng Xingyang doesn't dribble, but makes a very realistic explosive breakthrough body feint.

Bamot's body weight quickly shifts, fooled, as Zeng Xingyang quickly collects the ball back and goes for a rapid, long-range jump shot.

Zeng Xingyang shoots the three-pointer resolutely; Bamot didn't close in immediately.

Smoothly completes the shot.

Many fans in the audience cover their mouths.

Zeng Xingyang seems to not plan to connect the team tonight but rather keeps attacking furiously himself.

In the fans' awe, the basketball swishes into the net.

"Swish!"

9 to 6.

Zeng Xingyang quickly responds to Redick's three-pointer.

Incredibly dominant.

Zeng Xingyang made a bow-and-arrow celebration; he's expressing his emotions on the court.

"Incredible!!"

"6666, Bamot never expected Zeng Xingyang to shoot directly."

"Redick's offense was swiftly answered; it feels so refreshing."

"Xingyang deliberately shot like that; he wants to counter the Clippers' every attack."

"No need for a crossover adjustment, no screen; just shoots directly, this skill, tsk tsk."

Domestic fans were excited in the live stream chat rooms online.

"Get up on defense, don't let him shoot so easily," Rivers shouted at Bamot.

Zeng Xingyang's scoring desire exploded with tremendous intensity tonight, making Rivers feel a bit worried watching.

"OK!" Bamot wiped some sweat and responded.
