CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 182, FIFTH GAME-WINNING SHOT OF THE SEASON, SWEEPING THE KNIGHTS!!_2

Frye didn’t dare to let Zeng Xingyang take a three-pointer, so his defense was slightly more focused.

After Zeng Xingyang changed direction to the right, he found an opportunity and burst into acceleration to shake off Frye.

Zeng Xingyang easily got past Frye and rushed into the inside, with Mozgov and James providing help defense.

Zeng Xingyang jumped up and passed the ball around Mozgov’s waist to the trailing Jokic.

Jokic, without stopping the ball, passed it to Grant, who was cutting along the baseline.

After Grant received the ball, he immediately jumped up like a rocket, and slammed it down with both hands.

"Bang!"

to 102

The Nuggets’ teamwork was dazzling, and this was their forte this season.

The Cavaliers’ offense.

James dribbled to the frontcourt and continued to give it to Owen.

Owen called for a pick-and-roll, with Mozgov stepping up and Jokic switching defense.

Owen faced Jokic, made a wide change of direction to the right, Jokic turned to follow, but Owen pulled back and made a step-back mid-range shot.

Jokic couldn’t keep up.

"Swish!"

to 104.

The fans at Quicken Loans Arena continued to cheer.

Seeing this situation, Zeng Xingyang knew they couldn’t let Owen attack so recklessly anymore.

"Hey, LeBron, is this Kyrie’s team?"

"Are you the second option?"

"How come you’re always watching him attack, you can’t even touch the ball."

"Why not come to Denver, Kyrie doesn’t take you seriously."

Zeng Xingyang went over to provoke James.

Compared to James, the Nuggets’ defense feared Owen’s style of play more.

James glanced at Zeng Xingyang and ignored him.

Zeng Xingyang didn’t feel discouraged by this, as many words don’t just go unheard, they stay in the mind.

The Nuggets’ offense.

Jokic dribbled to the frontcourt and made a hand-off pass to Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang quickly used this screen to shake off James and drove inside.

Mozgov’s help defense, Zeng Xingyang quickly changed direction to the left and slipped past Mozgov too.

Owen came over from the other side to help defend, and Zeng Xingyang gathered the ball and took three strong steps.

"Bang!"

Zeng Xingyang, in confrontation with Owen, soared into the air and put the ball into the basket.

"Beep beep!"

The referee called a foul, giving Zeng Xingyang a chance for an extra free throw.

The momentum at Quicken Loans Arena was silenced by Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang flexed his muscles in front of the camera.

"Beautiful offense, this play left the Cavaliers with no answer, showcasing Xingyang’s abilities when facing intense defensive pressure, he still had ways to score," Zhang Weiping shouted.

"Yes, in such a critical possession, the Nuggets repeatedly responded to the Cavaliers’ offense," Yu Jia said.

Owen on the court raised his hand, indicating it was his mistake, as he failed to contain the play.

Zeng Xingyang’s explosive talent was overwhelmingly evident.

Zeng Xingyang stepped to the free throw line.

A wave of boos from the fans at Quicken Loans Arena erupted.

But this kind of booing couldn’t affect Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang calmly made the extra free throw.

to 104.

The gap between both sides was just two points now.

The Cavaliers’ offense.

James dribbled forward, with Zeng Xingyang continuing to pressure him.

James moved to the left side, attempting to post up Zeng Xingyang, but to no avail.

Zeng Xingyang’s position didn’t budge, forcing James to pass the ball out to Owen.

Owen faced Harris’s defense and began dribbling with changes of direction.

Owen’s dribbling was agile, as if he could break past Harris at any moment.

Pope decisively went to double-team, so Owen passed the ball to JR Smith.

Grant went out to help defend, JR Smith made a quick feint to go past him, seized the opportunity to gather the ball, and penetrated into the paint.

JR Smith glided for a layup, but Jokic, who was already in position, disrupted it a bit, causing the layup to miss.

Jokic grabbed the rebound with ease.

Jokic dribbled to the frontcourt and passed to the right side, to Zeng Xingyang.

Let Zeng Xingyang take this one-on-one critical play.

The Nuggets players gradually spaced out, accustomed to this style of offense.

James spread his arms, seriously defending Zeng Xingyang.

James was glancing around; he wasn’t very confident in his defense.

Faced with a top scorer, James wasn’t too willing to match up.

Zeng Xingyang, after several changes of direction, drove left, but James’s body was large, and Zeng Xingyang couldn’t break through.

Luckily, at that moment, Grant came up to momentarily delay James, allowing Zeng Xingyang to break through.

Frye switched defense, and Zeng Xingyang slowed down, changed direction, and drove to the right.

Gathered the ball, accelerated, and took off.

Gripping the basketball with one hand, he fiercely slammed it towards the hoop.

"Bang!"

to 104.

The relentless attack brought by Zeng Xingyang continued.

After the score, Zeng Xingyang shouted at James, "You’re afraid of my offense."

"Don’t be afraid!"

"Defend seriously, there’s a chance to stop it."

Zeng Xingyang’s trash talk was very arrogant.

Yet, James didn’t respond.

The Knight’s offense.

Owen was being closely guarded by Pope, preventing him from receiving the pass.

Seeing that Owen couldn’t find a good opportunity to receive the ball, James decided to take it himself.

James and Frye’s pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, James changed directions and broke through, attracting the defense.

James passed the ball back to Frye.

It was an open shot.

Frye’s three-point attempt.

"Clang!"

In such a tense moment, Frye’s three-point accuracy was affected.

The rebound was grabbed by Grant.

In the next two possessions, neither side scored.

The time quickly came down to the last 17 seconds.

Mike Malone did not call a timeout but let the players on the court keep playing.

Zeng Xingyang dribbled past half-court, and Jokic came to support.

Zeng Xingyang passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic held the ball and signaled his teammates to spread out.

Then Jokic passed the ball back to Zeng Xingyang, allowing him to execute the final shot.

Barkley said, "Nikola is so smart, he’s already drawn up a play on the court."

Smith said, "The Cavaliers are under a lot of pressure now. Zeng Xingyang has already made four buzzer-beaters this season."

The fans at Quicken Loans Arena couldn’t help but stand up.

This game was too intense.

James was defending Zeng Xingyang.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The basketball continuously collided with the floor.

With 6 seconds left on the shot clock, Zeng Xingyang exploded to the right in a crossover attempt to shake James off.

But he didn’t succeed, James’s defense stayed tight.

Zeng Xingyang, in full speed, tapped the ball from the right to the left.

Suddenly, he combined the ball for a step-back to create space, quickly pushed off and jumped for a mid-range shot.

James aggressively leapt to contest.

The difficulty of this shot was extremely high; James was almost hovering over Zeng Xingyang’s face, but it didn’t disrupt Zeng Xingyang’s shot.

As the ball was released, the buzzer sounded, ending the game.

Zeng Xingyang landed and stood, watching his shot.

The live audience couldn’t help but cover their mouths.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The basketball bounced twice on the rim, and finally.

"Swish!"

The basketball pierced through the net.

Sweeping the Cavaliers twice.

The whole Nuggets team rushed up to celebrate.

"Well done!!"

"Man, you’re awesome."

"Well done!"

"Another buzzer-beater."

Zeng Xingyang raised his hands, cheering triumphantly.

Jokic hugged Zeng Xingyang tightly.

Barkley stood up and shouted, "Buzzer-beater, buzzer-beater, Zeng Xingyang was in a slump for the first three and a half quarters, but he saved himself and the team in the last half."

Smith said, "His fifth of the season, he pulled off an unbelievable buzzer-beater, simply crazy."

On the court, James looked at the score, a little stunned, finally shook his head helplessly, and turned around to leave, accepting the bitter result of the loss.

Owen’s eyes were filled with reluctance as he angrily threw the towel down.

In the crucial showdown of this game, Owen lost.
