NBA: Rising Superstar!

"Truly awesome!"

"10-year Zeng Xingyang fan here, thumbs up!"

"Basic moves, don't be impressed!"

Fans on the live stream were astounded by Zeng Xingyang's spectacular performance and left comments expressing their excitement.

Anthony saw Rose being outplayed by Zeng Xingyang again, and couldn't help but shout to Rose, "Get up and guard him!"

Rose felt helpless inside. He had already given his all on defense, but Zeng Xingyang's long-range shooting was just too insane. What could he do? Rose envied Zeng Xingyang's formidable long-range shooting ability; such ultra-distance three-pointers, if made, could severely damage the opponent's morale.

He knew well that if he also had such skills, his team would have a powerful offensive weapon in the game.

Unfortunately...

Even though Anthony blamed Rose, he had no intention of switching defenses with him.

He knew well that he wasn't fully confident in stopping Zeng Xingyang, and if he rashly switched and Zeng Xingyang scored easily again, he'd lose face entirely.

On the sidelines, reporters from Denver were blushing with excitement witnessing the scene.

Since Zeng Xingyang joined the league, their status in the media circle had risen accordingly. Now, watching Zeng Xingyang dominate on the court, they felt extremely proud.

Rose dribbled to the top of the arc and once again observed his teammates' positioning.

After a brief thought, he decided to pass the ball to Anthony, who came out using Noah's screen.

Anthony got the ball and continued a one-on-one with Siakam.

He initially gave a fake move, made a shooting feint, then quickly adjusted his rhythm on the spot and spun for a mid-range jump shot.

"Clang!"

"Swish!"

The basketball hit the inner rim before falling into the basket.

108 to 108, the score was tied again.

Siakam panted heavily, helplessly.

Zhang Weiping said, "Old-school stars have such solid fundamentals. Anthony's moves look simple, using the triple threat to find rhythm and create open shots, but Siakam just can't defend against them."

Yu Jia sighed, "Why are stars just stars? Because even though you know exactly how they're going to play, you can't stop them. Zeng Xingyang is like this, Anthony is like this, that's the value of a star."

Nuggets fans, seeing their team's defense falter again, felt somewhat speechless.

The Nuggets' defensive state wasn't good tonight, always giving the Knicks opportunities for efficient offense.

Zeng Xingyang shook his head. He could see Siakam was too inexperienced facing veterans like Anthony; he still needed practice.

Butler dribbled past midcourt, Siakam reached out for the ball, but Butler waved him off and handed it to Zeng Xingyang in a handoff.

Butler was extremely calm at this moment. He knew clearly the team needed Zeng Xingyang to step up and control the game's rhythm in such crucial moments.

Zeng Xingyang dribbled to a point about one meter beyond the left three-point line, almost the same spot he scored from earlier.

This time, Rose was more vigilant, sticking close to Zeng Xingyang, not giving him any room to shoot.

Having just been hit with three-pointers by Zeng Xingyang, Rose's mental defense was almost broken. He didn't want Zeng Xingyang to score so easily again.

Zeng Xingyang began dribbling, using continuous between-the-legs dribbles to adjust his rhythm.

He didn't ask for a screen from his teammates, opting instead for a one-on-one showdown with Rose.

His balance and footwork shifted constantly, and Rose's knees could no longer withstand such intense lateral defense, soon failing to keep up with Zeng Xingyang's rhythm.

After some quick fakes, Zeng Xingyang stepped back laterally, forcibly creating distance from Rose, then decisively took a shot.

Rose tried his best to block, but he was a step too late.

The basketball spun through the air, tracing a beautiful arc.

The moment he shot, Zeng Xingyang confidently turned around, raised his arms, and began celebrating early.

"Swish!"

The basketball swished cleanly into the net, 108 to 111.

Zeng Xingyang showed Rose and the Knicks that no matter how they defended, they couldn't stop him from scoring.

The cheers in the arena reached the highest pitch.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Initially, only a few fans started chanting, but soon, the entire stadium joined in, chanting in unison like crashing waves, one after another.

If last season Zeng Xingyang showed scoring champion-level play, this season he's leading the team forward with MVP-level performances.

Under Zeng Xingyang's leadership, many talented players on the Nuggets came together, forming a formidable force.

"Timeout!!"

The Knicks coach despairingly called a timeout, trying to adjust the team's defensive strategy during the short break to stop Zeng Xingyang's insane shooting.

"Great job, Zeng!" Butler excitedly ran over, chest bumping Zeng Xingyang. Other teammates gathered around, high-fiving Zeng Xingyang, showing their respect.

"Three consecutive threes, terrifying!"

"Awesome, awesome, Rose was directly outplayed."

"Rose's defense was already top-notch, but Zeng Xingyang just nailed it, unstoppable."

"Too powerful, his skills are unquestionable!"

Fans watching the game online were also thrilled, leaving comments praising and marveling at Zeng Xingyang. In the last game, Zeng Xingyang put up an impressive 30+20+10 stat line, and now he's putting on such a great performance in overtime, his skills leaving everyone in awe.

On the Nuggets bench, Coach Mike Malone was all smiles.

He shouted to the players, "Keep giving the ball to our MVP, let the MVP lead us to victory!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!" Nuggets players also chanted along, filled with confidence in Zeng Xingyang, believing he could surely lead the team to victory.

The sudden cheers made Zeng Xingyang awkwardly scratch his head, then smile and shrugged his shoulders.

Soon, the timeout ended.

Anthony decided to personally guard Zeng Xingyang, thinking Zeng Xingyang couldn't keep up such a hot hand, and would eventually cool down.

Anthony planned to apply defensive pressure on Zeng Xingyang to turn around the Knicks' unfavorable situation.

Matchups between star players are always highly anticipated, and Anthony hoped to showcase his value by limiting Zeng Xingyang.

Anthony stood at the low left post as Rose quickly passed the ball to him.

Seeing this, Siakam immediately closed in to guard tightly.

Anthony used his body advantage to dribble hard against Siakam, then swiftly spun and jumped for a shot. This time, Siakam predicted accurately, jumping quickly to contest.

Due to Anthony's jumping height not being what it was at his peak, this shot was severely contested by Siakam.

"Clang!" The ball bounced heavily off the rim and shot up high.

Porzingis tried to tip it in, but Zubac had perfect positioning, successfully limiting Porzingis's action, and securely grabbed the rebound.

Zubac quickly passed the ball to Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang dashed like the wind, dribbling past midcourt. Anthony immediately stuck close to guard.

At this moment, Butler decisively set a high-quality screen for Zeng Xingyang, helping him smoothly shake off Anthony's defense.

Zeng Xingyang came to the top arc beyond the three-point line, gaining a perfect shooting space.

Without hesitation, he jumped up and shot a trailing three-pointer.

When someone's in the zone, they'll find any way to get the shot up.

"Swish!" The basketball swished perfectly through the net, 108 to 114.

Four consecutive threes, with a 100% field goal percentage in overtime!

This shot was like a mighty blow, completely crushing the Knicks' morale, the players' faces showing nothing but frustration and helplessness.

Rose dribbled forward quickly and passed the ball to Porzingis on the right side of the three-point line.

Eager to respond with a three-pointer, Porzingis took a rushed shot.

"Clang!" The shot missed, and Zeng Xingyang easily collected the rebound.

Upon arriving at the frontcourt, the Knicks adopted a double-team tactic against Zeng Xingyang, with Anthony and Rose closing in simultaneously.

With rich experience, Butler quickly saw the situation, directly cutting to the basket.

Zeng Xingyang understood, passing the ball perfectly in sync with Butler's movement.

Butler leaped high, completing a powerful dunk.

"Clang!"

108 to 116.

...

In the end, after the intense overtime battle, the score settled at 114 to 121.

The Nuggets secured their 30th win of the season, boasting an incredible 30-game winning streak!

Zeng Xingyang alone scored 16 points in overtime, dominating the game single-handedly.
