Close-range jump shot.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc.
"Swish!"
to 15
This shot by Zeng Xingyang didn’t look difficult, but the actual execution was very challenging.
Close-range jump shots require extrely strong core power, and then you have to disrupt the rhythm of the interior.
If one part isn’t connected well, it’s very likely to be disturbed.
This is a way Paul is very good at attacking, and Zeng Xingyang attacked this way.
"Well done." Nelson ca over and patted Zeng Xingyang on the backside.
Nelson has been in the league for many years, but he’s never seen a player as unique as Zeng Xingyang.
Originally lacking strong ball-handling attack abilities, just one regular season’s progress transford him into a player with such skills.
This rate of progress is truly shocking to him.
Zhang Weiping said, "After entering the playoffs, Xingyang’s performance hasn’t shown a big difference from the regular season."
Yu Jia said, "This is a demonstration of ability. Xingyang faced high-intensity defense throughout the regular season, so this kind of defense is sothing he’s always facing, so there’s no issue of not adapting."
The ga continues.
Clippers’ attack.
Zeng Xingyang continued to defend Paul.
Paul dribbled past midcourt with his back to the basket, and Griffin was still in the Clippers’ interior.
After so passing plays, Paul handed the ball to Griffin.
Griffin was facing off against Galinarli.
Galinarli was at a disadvantage in weight.
As Griffin’s shoulder slamd, Zeng Xingyang saw Galinarli retreat step by step and decisively went over to double team.
Griffin quickly passed the ball out to Paul.
Paul had so space upon receiving the ball, but he hesitated, doing a fake-then-move, which actually gave Zeng Xingyang the chance to return for defense.
Paul didn’t make the shot, and the Clippers missed their first opportunity.
The Nuggets’ players moved swiftly in defense, locking Paul’s passing lanes.
Seeing that there wasn’t much ti left for attack, Paul chose to dribble and change direction at the top of the arc, trying to find space for a forced shot.
But Zeng Xingyang’s defense was like a shadow, always matching Paul’s rhythm.
At the mont Paul took the shot.
"Bang!"
Zeng Xingyang used his wingspan advantage to give Paul a fierce block.
The block was very clean, and there was a scramble for the falling ball.
While scrambling for the ball, the attack ti ran out.
Paul swallowed hard in his throat, stunned by the block.
"Beautiful defense, stopping the Clippers’ attack."
"The Nuggets’ defense is really strong, especially this spot with Xingyang, he’s leading the whole team in an energetic effort."
"Throughout the season, the Nuggets’ defense made a deep impression."
"Haha, by the end of this series, the 58 attack will absolutely be questioning life."
The fans buzzed about online.
On the court.
The Nuggets players clapped and motivated each other.
The on-site fans continually increased their cheering.
The Nuggets’ offense resud.
The Clippers set up in a 1-3-1 defensive formation.
Zeng Xingyang received Galinarli’s inbound pass, took a look at the Clippers’ defensive positions, and decisively accelerated.
Paul originally wanted to slow down Zeng Xingyang but couldn’t keep up, and was bypassed on the right side with a single step.
As a big guard, Zeng Xingyang found getting past smaller guards not too hard—usually with a rhythm mismatch, a single step can do it.
Wesley Johnson and Redick apparently didn’t expect Zeng Xingyang’s explosiveness to be so fierce; their double team attempt failed.
Zeng Xingyang continued to rush toward the interior, and Pope broke in at this mont.
Zeng Xingyang, while advancing, passed the ball to Pope.
As everyone thought Pope was going to finish, he instead lobbed the ball into the air.
After passing the ball, Zeng Xingyang shifted focus to defense, again leaving Griffin behind, leaping directly toward the basket.
On the other side, Little Jordan was blocked by Nurkic.
Zeng Xingyang caught Pope’s pass with one hand, and slamd it fiercely toward the basket in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The basketball was hamred into the hoop.
to 17.
The Nuggets’ offense was brutal, flying to and fro in the air.
After landing, Zeng Xingyang pounded his chest toward the cara vigorously.
Zeng Xingyang understood why Jas, Garnett, and others like to celebrate by pounding their chests.
The release after a dunk feels extrely satisfying.
The atmosphere on-site reached a climax, fans loved to see dunks like this.
Pope and Zeng Xingyang’s connection continued to provide a full visual experience for all fans.
The Nuggets’ assault could be called a lightning war.
"Zeng... Xingyang!"
The on-site DJ shouted Zeng Xingyang’s na with full emotion.
At this mont, Paul crossed half court and chose to call a tiout.
This is the playoffs, and the Clippers take each possession very seriously.
Rivers was furiously angry on the sidelines, unable to figure out how the Clippers’ settled defense got blitzed by the opponent.
Overall, the Nuggets’ athletic ability is superior to the Clippers; if the Nuggets display this athleticism, the Clippers will face significant trouble.
"Wow, I just realized now that Xingyang’s athleticism is off the charts."
"I used to be misled by his three-point shooting, thinking his athletic ability was lacking. Comparing him to Paul now, he’s way stronger."
"Well done, I love to see this kind of play."
"Pope is a very smart player; he never holds onto the ball when he should pass."
"When Xingyang joins the second lineup, the Nuggets’ second lineup strength will significantly improve."
Fans were enthusiastically discussing.
On the Nuggets’ bench, Mike Malone continuously encouraged everyone, then looked at Zeng Xingyang and said, "Zeng, keep playing like this, keep intimidating them."
