NBA: Rising Superstar!

Although Zeng Xingyang is already a globally renowned superstar, his ability to effortlessly execute this move still left the audience astonished.

After completing the dunk, Zeng Xingyang smiled as he caught the rebounding ball, pretended to sign it for the camera, and then handed it to the referee on the baseline.

If an average player were to delay the game by holding the ball like this, the referee might call a technical foul or at the very least issue a warning.

But since it was Zeng Xingyang who did it, the referee made no response.

"Haha, the referee got styled on by Zeng Xingyang."

"Oh, oh, that was brutal."

"He dunked it even while ascending."

"Zeng Xingyang gave off the feeling of walking and suddenly dunking."

"That was so cool."

"Stylish, so graceful, this is the easiest free-throw line dunk I've ever seen."

"Wow, I didn't expect Zeng Xingyang to complete this dunk so lightly."

Fans all over the world were thrilled by such a stunning move.

After showing off, Zeng Xingyang high-fived fans standing in the front row who wanted to greet him.

The front-row audience, either wealthy or noble, most of whom were local elites in San Antonio, were just as thrilled to watch such a dunk.

The Spurs resumed their offense.

Parker dribbled to the frontcourt.

Parker passed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard initiated a pick and roll with Aldridge.

Zeng Xingyang and Faried quickly switched assignments.

Leonard found no chance to shoot after breaking through, so he passed the ball to Danny Green in the corner.

As soon as Danny Green received the ball, he quickly made a three-point jump shot.

Zeng Xingyang sprinted from afar, leaping vigorously while the ball was still ascending.

The ball had already been released for some time, but Zeng Xingyang jumped incredibly high.

His fingertips touched the basketball, altering its trajectory slightly.

"Bang!!"

The basketball bounced heavily off the rim, and Jokic retrieved it.

"Snap, snap, snap!!"

The scene of Zeng Xingyang soaring to block Danny Green's three-pointer was frozen in time.

Many media outlets captured this world-renowned painting.

The Nuggets gradually gained the upper hand on the court.

When Jokic dribbled past half-court, Leonard attempted to steal the ball, but Jokic cleverly protected it with his body.

This resulted in Leonard committing a foul.

Although Jokic was a big man, his ball-handling protection rivaled that of a point guard.

They reorganized the offense.

Harris received the inbound pass and gave it to Jokic at the top of the arc.

Zeng Xingyang continued to entangle with Leonard in the post.

Soon, Zeng Xingyang found an opportunity to gain positioning.

Jokic lobbed the ball high to him.

Zeng Xingyang took the ball and started backing down Leonard.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Continuous single-handed collisions.

Leonard was slightly knocked aside, creating space.

Zeng Xingyang utilized this space to make a turnaround jump shot.

Leonard rushed forward.

"Bang!"

The basketball bounced off the rim after interference.

However, Zeng Xingyang's second effort was quick; he charged back in and outmuscled Aldridge to complete the tip-in.

74 to 70.

Zeng Xingyang continued to score efficiently on the court, which further darkened Leonard's expression.

Popovich didn't call a timeout but let the players figure it out themselves on the court.

Leonard's defense indeed caused significant interference to Zeng Xingyang, presenting him with considerable trouble, but it didn't mean that Zeng Xingyang could be entirely shut down.

When Zeng Xingyang attacked, the Spurs' defensive attention would be attracted.

The Spurs' offense, this time Duncan was coordinating with the ball in the low post, Aldridge cut from the side, and contested Faried for positioning.

Duncan handed the ball low to Aldridge, who took one dribble, faked once, and then went up in rhythm, slipping past Faried to score steadily.

74 to 72.

Compared to the Nuggets' reliance on star players' individual offense, the Spurs' strategy was more team-oriented.

Aldridge consistently maintained his rhythm on the court, and Faried had difficulty containing him.

The Nuggets came onto the attack.

Jokic brought the ball up, with Galinarli setting a screen for Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang stationed at the left side of the free-throw line, leaning against the swapped-in Danny Green.

Zeng Xingyang was in excellent condition, so he signaled his teammates to open up space.

The Nuggets players had developed a tacit understanding through many games.

They had immense trust in Zeng Xingyang's scoring ability in isolation.

The Spurs did not double-team this time, believing Danny Green's defense was adequate.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Zeng Xingyang started backing down, posting up.

Post play actually has many advantages, as long as the technique is mature enough, many variations can be created.

Danny Green possessed very rich defensive experience, but compared to Leonard, he lacked the same physical prowess, which allowed Zeng Xingyang to overpower him physically.

Zeng Xingyang pushed Danny Green back a step from the left side, then hopped forward for a face-up jumper.

Zeng Xingyang's offense didn't differ much from before, such a playstyle was straightforward.

"Bang!"

"Swoosh!"

The basketball hit the inside of the rim and calmly fell in.

76 to 72.

Barkley said, "Zeng Xingyang figured out the key to dealing with the Spurs, which is finishing with mid-range shots, where their defense is slightly weak."

The Nuggets quickly grasped control over the game's pace.

The Spurs tried to catch up but only managed to keep the gap around 5 points.

The intense game remained neck-and-neck until the last 6 minutes of the fourth quarter.

Both teams' scoring efficiency had dropped from the first half, with most points being twos or ones, and the game's tempo slowed down as well.

At the moment, the score was 98 to 94, with the Spurs still trailing by 4 points.

The Spurs were on offense.

At this point, they'd replaced their point guard with Ginobili.

Compared to Parker, Ginobili had the advantage of stronger individual scoring ability and more offensive options.

Leonard tried to cut inside but was blocked by Zeng Xingyang.

Ginobili passed the ball to Aldridge.

Aldridge faced off against Faried.

After a series of collisions, he turned and jumped for a shot, while Faried lunged forward to contest.

Following Faried's jump, Zeng Xingyang also sprinted forward almost instantly.

"Bang!"

The basketball clanged off the rim, and Jokic securely grabbed it.

Jokic made an outlet pass to Zeng Xingyang upcourt.

Harris also accelerated alongside him, flying down both wings.

The Nuggets executed a fast-break transition.

Jokic made a one-pass to Harris.

Harris then passed to Zeng Xingyang.

After receiving the ball, Zeng Xingyang spun past Leonard.

Soon, an absolutely clear path lay ahead of Zeng Xingyang.

"So fast!"

"Really too fast."

In the commentary's shout.

Zeng Xingyang coordinated his steps from beyond the three-point line, reached the free-throw line in one step, then launched from the front of the key.

Zeng Xingyang rose, spinning his body 360 degrees, executing a windmill maneuver.

"Bang!!"

Bombarding the hoop.

To protect himself, Zeng Xingyang also slammed his arm into the rim.

His body swayed.

Then Zeng Xingyang descended.

The spectators at the scene felt helpless witnessing this.

100 to 94.
