Overwhelming Him Head-On

"My shot's been feeling great tonight! As long as I can create even a little room to shoot, I can make it!"

As he finished his move, confidence filled Doncic's eyes.

"I can make it!"

But that confidence quickly turned to disbelief.

Chen Xi suddenly sprang forward as if he had a pair of springs in his shoes, propelled by an enormous burst of energy. In an instant, he was in front of Doncic, then leaped into the air.

Beng!!!!

The dull thud of basketball meeting flesh rang out.

On the sideline, the Thunder Team players on the bench shot to their feet, all of them electrified.

The impact of that block was practically a "seated-target specialist" and "LBW square" rolled into one.

The ball had only just left Doncic's control when, in the blink of an eye, it struck the upper part of another palm.

The ball bounced off under the force of the impact, and Chen Xi swatted it hard, sending it behind the midcourt line.

As soon as Chen Xi landed, he took off again, sprinting after the ball as it bounced toward out of bounds.

"Not good!"

Only then did Doncic react. He hurriedly tried to turn and chase the ball, hoping to regain possession.

But how could he possibly outrun Chen Xi?

Chen easily blew past Doncic, scooped up the ball as it came down, then pounded it into the floor and accelerated toward the frontcourt.

Now Doncic had no chance of catching him.

After dribbling back into the frontcourt, Chen Xi gathered the ball two steps inside the three-point line and launched into another history-making dunk.

One step inside the free-throw line, he soared through the air and hammered it home!!

The gleaming gold [Infinite Takeoff] badge lit up at just the right moment,
