4:54am, 12 October 2025Basketball

The 2025 NBA preseason will come to China again after 6 years. The Suns and Nets will compete in Macau. In this game, Zeng Fanbo, who previously played for the Beijing team, is expected to appear. Similarly, the performance of Jaylen Green, who was traded from the Rockets to the Suns this year, is also worthy of attention.

Zeng Fanbo currently signed a 10-day short contract with the Nets. Whether he can stay in the end depends on his performance in the preseason. However, his teammates also highly recognized his attitude towards hard training and his athletic ability. Zeng Fanbo himself also cherishes the experience of this training camp. He knows that the competition is fierce, but he will calm down, seize this opportunity, and accumulate experience.

The 23-year-old Jaylen Green, with his 40-year-old girlfriend, has started a life of eating, drinking and having fun in Macau. After being traded to the Suns, he also believes that he needs to continue to prove himself. After his poor performance in the playoffs last season, can he adjust his mentality when he arrives in the Suns? In the real playoffs, play harder. However, what I didn't expect was that this time, he really came to travel.

Nets starting lineup: Mann, Porter, Claxton, Thomas, Traore.

Suns starting lineup: Dillon, Ryan Dunn, Iguodaro, Allen, Booker.

Before the game started, Zeng Fanbo and Dillon each spoke on behalf of two different teams. Dillon asked the fans at the scene to support the Suns, while Zeng Fanbo welcomed NBA players and coaches to come to China to participate in the game. I hope everyone has a pleasant night.

At the beginning of the game, Thomas of the Nets directly scored a layup, and then Traore scored another goal. Booker missed a jumper, Dunn scored with an arrow on horseback, Claxton scored another 2+1, and the Nets scored 9:0. Then Iguodaro made a foul and made two free throws to help the Suns stop the bleeding. The Nets responded very quickly. Thomas scored a goal first, and then Mann directly scored a 3-pointer from the outside. The score reached 14:2, a 12-point difference.

Dillon made a mid-range jumper and scored 2 points, but then Porter scored a very difficult 3-pointer. Thomas followed up with another three-pointer. The score reached 20:4. The Suns called a timeout again. The Suns could not stop the Nets' violent storm. After a period of time, the Nets were still unstoppable, and the score difference quickly reached 30:16.

Sharp scored a big hook under the basket, and Dillon finally hit a 3-pointer. This was the Suns' first 3-pointer of the game. The Suns began to officially chase points. After Richards came on stage, the effect was obvious. He continuously sent big blocks under the basket and scored dunks, leading the Suns to a small climax. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns chased the point difference to 10 points, and the score reached 39:29.

For the Suns, Dillon scored a team-high 9 points, while the visitors were listless, scoring only 2 points, and Richards scored 5 points.

For the Nets, Thomas scored a team-high 14 points, and Claxton scored 3 points and 4 rebounds.

The game entered the second quarter. The Suns were just gaining momentum at the end of the first quarter, but the Nets came up and played another 11:4. The Nets went crazy during this period, with 3 points from the outside, breakthroughs from the inside, and dunks. You can do whatever you want! Halfway through the second quarter, the score reached 53:37, still a 16-point difference.

Entering the timeout, NBA star Shaq O'Neal also came to the scene to participate in the event.

When there were 4 minutes left in the game, Zeng Fanbo had an opportunity. He came up for 10 seconds and received a foul while defending. Then the Nets called a timeout. After the timeout, Zeng Fanbo tackled Dillon again while grabbing a rebound and was called for another foul. Then the Suns attacked and Zeng Fanbo defended Dillon. The opponent scored a 3-pointer, and then the two sides briefly alternated scoring. The first half ended with the Nets 71:59, leading the Suns by 12 points

The halftime data were as follows: Thomas had 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists, Claxton had 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, Porter had 11 points, Sharp had 4 points, 3 rebounds, and Mann had 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Dillon had 16 points and 2 steals, Gillespie had 10 points and 4 rebounds, Allen had 8 points, Dunn had 6 points and 2 rebounds, Booker had 6 points, 4 assists and 3 steals, and Richards had 5 points and 1 rebound.

In the second half, the two sides played very close. In the end, the two sides drew 121:121 and entered overtime. It was also drunk. A preseason game could end like this. Zeng Fanbo got more than 2 minutes in the second half and received a foul.

In today's game, the Suns had no rhythm as a whole, Jaylen Green didn't play, and Booker was out of shape. The team was crushed throughout the game, and judging from the game scene, this team lacked a good ball handler. Although Dillon performed well, he is not a player who can change the game. It seems that the future of the Suns in the new season is still uncertain.

As for the Nets, this team has many young people, very good talents, and full of impact. In such a team, Zeng Fanbo may not have many opportunities. In just about 3 minutes today, Zeng Fanbo received 2 fouls and And on the defensive end, Dillon scored a 3-pointer. It can be said that he made all the mistakes that should be made. It seems that the gap is still a bit big if he wants to sign a formal contract with the Nets. Of course, it is his first time to play an NBA game, and not adapting is also an important reason. I hope that Zeng Fanbo can seize the opportunity in subsequent games..

In the entire game, Zeng Fanbo got 8 minutes and got 3 fouls. He didn't take a single shot on the offensive end, and was beaten by one step on the defensive end. He was as strong as a tiger in the CBA, but in the NBA, it really didn't work. With a 10-day short contract, he really couldn't play many games. With this kind of performance, he really can only return to the CBA to continue playing. It's not that he is not optimistic about Zeng Fanbo, but there is an essential difference between the CBA and the NBA.

In terms of statistics, Thomas of the Nets scored 22 points, and no other player scored more than 20 points.

For the Suns, Di Neng scored 18 points, Booker scored 18 points, and Goodwin scored 16 points.

It’s really not possible! The Suns played against the Nets, Zeng Fanbo made his debut, committed 3 fouls in 8 minutes, and his contract was gone!
