NBA: Rising Superstar!

"The Nuggets' teamwork is incredible."

"No doubt, the chances came from fierce scrambles."

"The Warriors can't secure the rebounds."

"Without controlling the rebounds, there's no way to counterattack."

The Warriors fans on site are very worried.

On the court.

The Warriors attack again.

This time the Warriors made a mistake.

Green's pass to the cutting Thompson was too strong.

Thompson didn't hold the ball steady, and it flew out of bounds.

Beep beep!

Nuggets ball.

After the referee made an exaggerated gesture, he handed the ball to the Nuggets.

The tense atmosphere of overtime permeates Oracle Arena, and every call on the court tugs at the hearts of the fans present.

The game has now entered the fever pitch stage.

"Defense"

"Defense"

"Defense"

The Warriors fans' hearts are uneasy; the Nuggets' tenacity and resilience far exceed their expectations.

Nuggets' attack, Zeng Xingyang dribbles the ball upcourt.

Despite nearing his physical limit, Zeng Xingyang remains calm.

This time Jokic is positioned low, and Zeng Xingyang bounces the ball over.

Jokic back-to-backs Green, even though his footwork isn't as agile as at the start, he still uses his body advantage to squeeze past the defense for a hook shot.

Unfortunately, Iguodala also rushes to interfere.

"Boom!"

No, this time Green controls the rebound after it bounces out.

The Warriors' counterattack arrives.

Green quickly passes to the fast-moving Curry.

Taking advantage of the Nuggets' defense not fully settled, Curry takes two quick dribbles, fakes, and shakes off the returning Zeng Xingyang.

No choice, if Zeng Xingyang didn't bite on the fake, Curry would have taken the shot directly.

But it's the same; Curry adjusts slightly and pushes the shot.

The basketball arcs beautifully in the air and goes in cleanly.

118 to 119, the Warriors take the lead.

Curry starts nodding and celebrating, and the fans' cheers grow louder.

Nuggets' attack.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles up, his speed noticeably slower than before, but he still uses rhythm changes to shake off Barnes' defense in the frontcourt.

During the breakthrough, Zeng Xingyang passes the ball to Jokic, who doesn't stop but passes again to the moving Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang catches the ball for a direct layup, Iguodala is a step late, the ball hits the board and goes in.

"Bang!"

"Beep beep!!"

Iguodala also knocked down the shooter Zeng Xingyang, the referee deemed it a continuous action.

Called a bonus free throw.

Jokic and Grant help Zeng Xingyang up.

Zeng Xingyang pants heavily at the free-throw line, using this time to rest.

Slightly adjusts.

Zeng Xingyang calmly takes the bonus shot.

"Swish!"

121 to 119.

The Nuggets once again take the lead.

Warriors' attack.

Green dribbles to the frontcourt.

This time he passes to the cutting Thompson.

Thompson shoots a long two from the bottom right corner.

"Swish!!"

121 to 121.

The scores remain tight between the two teams.

The overtime swiftly comes to the last 40 seconds.

Yet in these last 40 seconds, each side executed one attack but failed to make the decisive shot.

The two teams enter the second overtime!!!

After the second overtime starts, frequent fouls occur.

The Nuggets' Pope commits six fouls, leaving the game; the Warriors' Barnes does the same.

The Nuggets bring in Galinarli, while the Warriors send in Livingston.

Both teams increase their scores slowly; the pace is very sluggish.

The game soon reaches the last two minutes with the score tied at 129.

The Nuggets call a timeout.

Zhang Weiping shouts hoarsely, "The Nuggets are risking their lives to win this game."

Yu Jia says, "Both teams played a game deserving of songs and tears."

"Whoa, so exciting."

"This game has lasted three hours and it's still not over, my god."

"Zeng Xingyang and Jokic's stamina is amazing."

"Damn, it's so intense; their playing time is heading towards 60 minutes."

The fans chat vigorously.

Mike Malone calls the timeout mainly to rest Zeng Xingyang and Jokic.

Those two are truly exhausted today.

The timeout ends quickly.

The Warriors players' energy is also reaching their limit, their steps heavy.

The Nuggets' attack comes again.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles up, the determination to win the game evident in his eyes.

Zeng Xingyang passes to Jokic; at the high post, Jokic orchestrates, and Zeng Xingyang uses Grant's screen to run without the ball, seizing the chance to cut into the basket. Jokic's bounce pass precisely delivers the ball to Zeng Xingyang's hands again.

Zeng Xingyang receives the ball, takes a Euro step around Livingston for the layup, Iguodala arrives to block but is a step late, the ball hits the board and goes in.

131 to 129

The Nuggets lead once more.

The Warriors' attack arrives again, Curry crosses half-court.

After a series of passes, Curry initiates the attack, using Green's screen to quickly shake off Harris' defense, launching the shot from beyond the three-point line.

However, this time the ball hits the rim and bounces out.

Green and Iguodala try to jump for the rebound, but Jokic stands firm inside, securely controlling the rebound.

Green and Iguodala attempt to press Jokic on the spot but foul.

Resume attack.

Jokic sends the ball to Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles past mid-court, Jokic comes out to set a screen.

Jokic stands firm beyond the three-point line like a wall.

Zeng Xingyang keeps moving around Jokic.

Iguodala and Thompson chase him continuously but fail to catch up.

At the left side, a step outside the three-point line, Zeng Xingyang finds the chance and launches a quick jump shot.

Both Thompson and Iguodala rush over; typically, this wouldn't be considered a good shot, somewhat unreasonable.

However!!

Zeng Xingyang is shooting the unreasonable shot!!!

The basketball is like a bullet fired from a sniper gun.

BIU!!

Hits precisely.

134 to 129.

This three-pointer seemingly seals the victory.

"Timeout!!" Cole decisively calls for a pause!!

50 seconds left...

Zeng Xingyang stands in place, raising both arms, enjoying the joy of his teammates rushing over!!!

No surprises!!

This three-pointer decided the game.

The final score stops at 138 to 134.

The Warriors trail by two possessions in the last moments, continually fouling but fail to overturn the situation.

The series score changes to 2-0, with the Nuggets leading.

Such a result blindsides both fans and media.

No one expected the Warriors to face consecutive losses at home; the Nuggets incredibly took two wins from here.

When the final whistle sounded, Zeng Xingyang and Jokic lay directly on the floor.

This was the most exhausting game they had played in their lives.

Regular time's 48 minutes, plus 10 minutes from two overtimes, their playing time was an astonishing 58 minutes.

58, this magical figure!

Mike Malone also wears a bitter smile.

Todays he might be the only one among the Nuggets to get cursed.

He pushed Zeng Xingyang and Jokic too hard.
