NBA: Rising Superstar!

Zeng Xingyang now, as long as he encounters one-on-one offensive opportunities, doesn't really care about anyone's defense.

His eyes are firm at this moment, completely confident in his offensive rhythm.

When he attacks, sending the ball into the hoop will be his only goal.

What's difficult about limiting Zeng Xingyang is that once he starts, his speed is extremely fast and his rhythm is strong, making it hard for opponents to block him.

Zeng Xingyang's continuous offense also made Mike Malone pat his chest lightly, as if relieved that the team hasn't fallen into greater trouble.

As long as the Nuggets don't dig too much of a hole, there's still hope to catch up.

Facing an opponent like the Warriors, the pressure is still very high.

Cole is a bit frustrated on the sideline. After several consecutive possessions failed to stop Zeng Xingyang, he knows clearly that such defense is not enough at all.

Warriors' offense.

Livingston dribbled to the frontcourt, his gaze focused, quickly assessing the situation on the court, and after continuous ball movement, passed to Barnes on the right side.

Then, Livingston went over to set a screen for Barnes, and Nelson followed along.

Nuggets switch defense.

Barnes posts up against Nelson.

Nelson's body is very strong, he steadies his stance, muscles tense, trying hard to defend against Barnes.

Though Nelson is at a disadvantage, Barnes didn't dare to continue towards the interior, knowing Jokic is there, an insurmountable barrier.

After bumping a couple of steps, Barnes chose not to squeeze further into the paint, decisively turning for a jump shot.

His movement is smooth and natural, body leaning back at the moment of takeoff.

Nelson tries hard to contest, jumping high, arms stretched straight, attempting to disrupt Barnes' shot but doesn't have much impact.

Barnes' release point is very high, calmly flicking the ball.

"Swish!"

The basketball enters the net without touching the rim.

39 to 27.

Nelson shakes his head helplessly, feeling dejected. In this high-level game, he's a huge defensive liability.

Mike Malone on the sideline signals Pope to stand up, with urgency in his eyes, wanting to put Pope on so the defensive side won't have major holes.

Warriors now clearly know where the Nuggets' weakness is, and if this continues, catching up will be extremely difficult for the Nuggets.

Barkley says: "In terms of rotation, Nuggets are really passive; they lack bench players that match with the Warriors."

Smith says: "But once the Warriors can fill this shortcoming, then the Nuggets will become the real championship team."

Barkley says: "Actually, if the Nuggets have a third offensive initiator, their team tactics would have more variety, let's see what adjustments the Nuggets management makes in the summer."

Smith says: "Nuggets have ample salary space, they have the opportunity to bring in an All-Star and further enhance their team strength."

Nuggets' offense.

Nelson dribbles to the frontcourt, Zeng Xingyang is bumped by Iguodala while positioning.

The referee quickly blows the whistle, decisively calling a foul on Iguodala.

Meanwhile, Pope quickly substitutes in for Nelson.

Offense resumes.

Zeng Xingyang receives the inbound pass from Pope, Warriors' trap defense hasn't come over quickly yet.

He stands outside the three-point line, eyes filled with confidence, staring closely at Thompson in front of him.

Zeng Xingyang gestures for tactical moves while facing Thompson's single-handed defense.

Thompson appears nervous, slightly furrowing his brows, body tense, thinking relying solely on himself doesn't seem promising.

Zeng Xingyang calls for a screen, Jokic steps up quickly.

Jokic's steps are stable and powerful, swiftly blocking Thompson.

Bogut sees this and hurries over to help defend.

Zeng Xingyang takes advantage of the situation, changes direction with his dribble to attack Bogut's right side, his moves clean and crisp, catching Bogut off guard. Then Zeng Xingyang kicks off into a step-back, his actions agile and quick, Bogut's center of gravity shifts and doesn't keep up.

With space cleared, Zeng Xingyang's three-point jump shot. His movements are light and graceful, the basketball forms a beautiful arc in his hands.

"Swish!"

39 to 30.

Zhang Weiping excitedly shouts: "Xingyang finally got a three-point shooting opportunity, seized it steadily, this shot is so crucial! The best rookie ever is reliable at critical moments!"

Yu Jia also echoes: "No one could foresee the game developing in this direction, the situation becomes increasingly exciting!"

The现场的欢呼声瞬间爆发出来,声浪一波接着一波.

Faried keeps cheering and encouraging his teammates on the sidelines, shouting at the top of his voice: "F*ck, crush them, kick their butts hard!"

Faried brings his enthusiasm for the game to the bench, infecting everyone.

Zeng Xingyang also gives a high-five to Jokic passing by, with mutual understanding in their eyes.

The Warriors' offense comes again, Curry has already stood on the sideline, gearing up, with eagerness in his eyes, ready to play at any moment.

After Livingston comes to the frontcourt, a series of outside organized passing, his passes are accurate and swift, teamwork among teammates flows smoothly, the ball continues to Barnes in the interior.

Barnes posts up against Pope.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Continuous interior collisions against Pope. Pope is firmly rooted, body slightly leaning back, using all his strength to resist Barnes' offense. Barnes still chooses to turn around and lean back, his actions are seamless, but Pope is not Nelson, he quickly jumps, giving Barnes strong interference.

Barnes' shot bounces off the rim.

That ball is still a long rebound, Zeng Xingyang jumps high, stretches his arms in the air, and secure the rebound ball securely.

Zeng Xingyang decisively counterattacks, accelerating with the ball.

Like an arrow off a string, he rushes to the frontcourt, Iguodala has been keeping an eye on Zeng Xingyang, closely follows behind, rapidly retreating on defense with him.

However, Zeng Xingyang continuously changes direction during the drive, his footwork flexible and varied, preventing Iguodala from ever getting close.

Zeng Xingyang doesn't wait for the Warriors' defense to settle, rushes to the right low post, halts abruptly with the ball, his actions in one seamless motion, simply breaking Iguodala's rhythm to make a backboard two-pointer.

Iguodala tries hard to interfere, stretches his arms, attempts to block, but is unsuccessful.

"Bang!"

"Swish!"

The basketball bounces into the rim after hitting the backboard.

39 to 32.

Fans at the Pepsi Center in Denver erupt again into massive cheers, the whole arena submerged by this cheering.

Zeng Xingyang doesn't celebrate, expression stern, quickly goes to press Livingston who comes to receive the ball.

Iguodala passes the ball to Livingston, Livingston lets the ball drop and dribbles, Zeng Xingyang directly attempts a steal.

"Snap!"

The ball is stripped.
