Challenging Chen

"Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes!! Luka's Answer Ball!!! Is he going to go head-to-head with Chris now?!!"

"That's what I'm talking about!! This is exactly what I wanted to see!! That's how it's done!! A direct showdown between superstars! Ladies and gentlemen, knowing our Chris, I can tell you the big moment is coming! Let's wait and see!!"

With Doncic's three-pointer, possession changed hands again.

The Thunder inbounded from the backcourt.

After bringing the ball over half court, Westbrook immediately passed it to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi quickly moved up to the left wing, caught the ball, and turned to face Tim Hardaway Jr. After a Triple Threat with the ball, he rose straight up from the spot, treating Hardaway Jr. in front of him as if he weren't there, and launched a long-range three!

The Volume Shooter badge flashed gold.

Swish~~~

The same crisp swish of the net rang through the arena, drawing cheers from the fans.

This was exactly what they wanted!! This was Oklahoma's Star Player! Chris Chen!

Good heavens!! How long had it been? How long had it been since they'd cheered for one of Chris's baskets in person?!

As the home fans' cheers gradually died down, the Mavericks launched another attack.

Doncic brought the ball up and ran straight into Chen Xi, who had switched onto him.

As a high-level player with excellent basketball IQ, Doncic's first reaction was naturally... to call for a pick-and-roll.

He waved Gobert over to set a screen, hoping to quickly shake Chen Xi.

But Chen Xi's sharp defensive instincts let him sense Gobert's approach a step early. The Pick and Roll Dodger badge also lit up at just the right moment, helping him slip past Gobert at tremendous speed and immediately recover to Doncic.
