NBA: Rising Superstar!

This game made the fans feel exhilarated, extremely satisfying.

Whether it was the explosion by the Splash Brothers or the sharp pick-and-roll by Zeng Xingyang and Jokic, each exciting moment was enough to ignite the fans' passion, causing them to scream loudly.

The commentator tirelessly fueled the atmosphere, while the DJ's voice broadcasted throughout the entire arena.

During the overtime break, on the Nuggets' bench, Mike Malone spoke to the players with a serious tone: "Nikola, you keep holding the ball. Zeng, start moving without the ball, reduce the number of times you attack with the ball, so the energy consumption isn't as high."

As he spoke, he gestured tactical moves with his hands.

Jokic nodded slightly, adding: "Zeng, you can try inner cuts, that way the restriction on you won't be as high."

Jokic's eyes revealed a clear judgment of the game situation.

Zeng Xingyang listened intently, nodding forcefully, fully focused on accepting all the arrangements, with determination in his eyes.

On the other side, in front of the Warriors' bench, Cole shouted anxiously at the players: "If Zeng holds the ball, go double-team him, don't give him space to launch an attack."

Cole's forehead was covered with sweat, and his brows were furrowed deeply, clearly afraid of Zeng Xingyang and Jokic's outstanding performance.

Curry, Thompson, Green, and others were gulping air, their jerseys soaked with sweat, showing signs of exhaustion as well as perseverance for the game.

Zeng Xingyang and Jokic were indeed formidable, maintaining high efficiency almost the entire game.

Fortunately, in the last minute, Zeng Xingyang missed the crucial shot, or else they would have lost this game again.

The overtime started quickly.

The Nuggets sent out their traditional core five-player lineup.

On the Warriors' side, it was Bogut with Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, and Green on the court.

The main attack points of this Warriors lineup were Curry and Thompson, Barnes did not play.

Cole gave up on using Barnes in this high-end game.

Jokic and Bogut stood at the center circle preparing for the jump ball.

In the overtime, it was evident to see the physical consumption of the two centers.

Bogut looked exhausted, his steps were heavy, he clearly consumed more energy, and looked strained when jumping, almost unable to jump.

While Jokic, after just resting for a few minutes, seemed recharged, with vitality and fighting spirit in his eyes. Jokic leaped high, gently tipped the ball, comfortably directing it to Pope.

Pope quickly passed the ball to Harris, who dribbled the ball rapidly into the frontcourt.

With Zeng Xingyang rarely holding the ball, every Nuggets player was acting as a point guard, with their task being dribbling past half-court and then passing the ball to Jokic, who was responsible for the main organizing work.

Chasing Zeng Xingyang was Iguodala, who closely followed him, persistently semi-front denying the passing lane from Jokic to Zeng Xingyang, starting with restricting Zeng Xingyang from receiving the ball.

Iguodala was always characterized by his defense + organization, and his defense ability was top-notch in the league, but only played as a substitute in the talent-rich Warriors, while he would be a core starter in other teams.

Grant saw the situation and strived to provide a screen for Zeng Xingyang.

Immediately, Zeng Xingyang lightly pushed Iguodala, creating some space instantly.

Jokic quickly and sharply passed the ball.

By the time the Warriors' double-team hadn't arrived, Zeng Xingyang had already quickly launched an attack.

Upon receiving the ball, Zeng Xingyang executed a smooth between-the-legs dribble, adjusting his pace against the repositioning Iguodala.

Then, he dribbled low to the right, explosively exerting immense power, gaining a step on Iguodala.

When Iguodala thought Zeng Xingyang was going for a continuous breakthrough, Zeng suddenly confronted him during his turning back pursuit, then forcefully retracted with a step-back to create space.

Iguodala lost balance, staggered slightly, and finally "bang" fell to the ground.

"Oh oh!!" The fans at the scene erupted instantly, as if about to blow the roof off the arena.

Zeng Xingyang ignored the fans' cheers and remained fully focused on his actions, jumping quickly to shoot an open three-pointer.

The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air, like a crescent moon scimitar, with a "swish!"

Bullseye!

124 to 127.

"Wow, he shook off Iggy." A fan jumped up excitedly and shouted.

"No one expected even this kind of defense could be broken." Another fan chimed in.

"Iguodala's defense is suffocating, yet couldn't stop him." A senior white fan marveled.

"Zeng's getting more and more unstoppable." A young fan excitedly waved his arms.

"The Warriors' defense is top-notch, but they still can't lock him down." A glasses-wearing fan adjusted his glasses and said.

"Most stars make their name when they are young and win championships after a few years, but Zeng Xingyang seems to be heading for the championship right from his rookie season." An old fan looked at Zeng Xingyang on the court firmly.

"Not for nothing he's considered the man who surpassed Jordan in his rookie season."

Fans worldwide were watching the game through various channels, equally thrilled, with online discussions continuously heating up.

After adjusting a bit on the sidelines, Zeng Xingyang seemed to regain his stamina.

Coach Mike Malone on the sideline kept clapping.

The Nuggets' offense had never been much of a problem, as he always believed that Zeng Xingyang and Jokic wouldn't be locked down by the Warriors' defense.

Curry stood on the court, frowning, with immense psychological pressure in his eyes.

He couldn't fathom how Zeng Xingyang could still perform such a series of technically complex moves at this point.

It's known that the more complex the technique, the lower the hit rate, but all this seemed ineffective against Zeng Xingyang.

The Warriors' offense began.

Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Green.

Green handed the ball to Iguodala.

Then, Green quickly ran over to set a screen for Thompson, giving Thompson the chance to cut inside.

Iguodala provided Thompson a bounce pass, with Zeng Xingyang and Pope's defense momentarily delayed by Green.

Thompson showed no hesitation, decelerating with a sudden stop, decisively shooting at close range.

"Clank!" "Swish!"

The basketball hit the inner rim and then fell through.

126 to 127.

Thompson appeared on the court fiery and full of fighting spirit in his eyes.

The Nuggets' offense.

Jokic received the inbound pass from Grant, gritting his teeth, he accelerated hard forward.

At this moment, the Warriors' defense hadn't completely set, and Bogut didn't dare to stand too deep because Jokic had stable shooting capability, he had to be on guard constantly.

After reaching the top of the arc, Jokic passed the ball to Pope.

Zeng Xingyang ran by Pope, feigning a hand-off.

But Pope didn't pass to Zeng Xingyang; instead, he suddenly spun around, swiftly attacking inside. At this time, Jokic promptly set a screen for Zeng Xingyang, drawing the defense with Pope's attack. He didn't force the play but instead bounced the ball to Zeng Xingyang on the outside. Iguodala was delayed by Zeng Xingyang, with Bogut hustling to chase down the defense.

Upon receiving the ball, Zeng Xingyang made a quick fake, realistically executed, causing Bogut to jump.

Zeng Xingyang then dribbled laterally, suddenly creating space, and swiftly jumped for a three-point shot.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.

"Swish!"

Another bullseye!

126 to 130.

Zeng Xingyang's consecutive three-pointers completely elevated the momentum on the scene.

The fans at the Pepsi Center in Denver were roaring wildly, and their enthusiasm ignited the entire arena.
