NBA: Rising Superstar!

Bogut reacted quickly, tapping the ball first, and Green securely controlled the ball before swiftly passing it to Curry.

Curry dribbled quickly, pushing forward, while Zeng Xingyang rapidly moved over to defend.

"Bang!" Zeng Xingyang swung his strong arms, stepping up to confront Curry in a fierce physical clash.

Under the intense pressure, Curry's body swayed slightly, forcing him to switch to dribbling with his left hand. He lowered his body, struggling to advance past half-court before passing the ball to Green.

After receiving the ball, Green quickly scanned the court, trying to locate Thompson but found that Thompson was tightly marked by Harris, leaving no opportunity to receive the ball.

Helpless, Green could only bring the ball back to Curry, and then the two performed a hand-off pass while Green immediately set a screen for Curry.

However, Zeng Xingyang anticipated the screen and skillfully maneuvered around Green's screen without being blocked.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Green quickly created space to give Curry some offensive room.

By this time, Curry and Zeng Xingyang faced off one-on-one.

The crowd in the stadium erupted with excitement at this sight.

"Stop him, Zeng, don't let him get past!" shouted a fat Nuggets fan wearing the number 15 jersey, waving his arms vigorously.

"Take him down, Stephen, beat him with your skills!" shouted a Warriors fan who had traveled far, standing up to support Curry.

"Curry up against Zeng Xingyang is helpless," a veteran fan shook his head confidently.

"Even though Curry is strong, Zeng Xingyang's defense is top-notch," said another fan proudly praising Zeng Xingyang.

The crowd at the scene held different opinions, but most people were confident in Zeng Xingyang's defense.

Curry held the ball, assuming a triple-threat position, with Zeng Xingyang quickly closing in, crouching slightly, eyes tightly fixed on the ball, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Zeng Xingyang knew he must not act rashly, or Curry could easily draw a foul.

Curry, observing Zeng Xingyang's aggressively pressuring stance, felt cornered, unable to find a suitable opportunity to break through or a clear spot to shoot.

Curry's one-on-one skills were not top-tier, making it tough to bypass Zeng Xingyang's defense without a screen.

He attempted to shift Zeng Xingyang's balance with a hesitation step, but Zeng stood firm like an unshakable mountain.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Curry began to dribble, trying to break through Zeng Xingyang's defense.

He knew he had no physical advantage over Zeng Xingyang, so he had to avoid direct confrontation as much as possible.

"Bang!" After several crossovers, Curry seized the moment and drove fiercely to his right side.

However, Zeng Xingyang seemed to predict his move, swiftly reaching in with his right hand toward Curry's dribbling ball.

"Snap!" The crisp sound echoed, Curry moved past, but the ball was intercepted by Zeng Xingyang.

"Whoa!!" A thunderous cheer erupted from the stands.

After stealing the ball, Zeng Xingyang swiftly launched a counterattack without hesitation.

Seeing this, Curry rushed to chase back, but his speed couldn't match Zeng Xingyang's at all.

Green chased back hard from the other side, but unfortunately, his position was not advantageous.

Zeng Xingyang, at the three-point line, pulled up the ball high, nearly passing it over Green's head.

Then, like a black lightning bolt, he rushed to the paint, grabbing the ball high with one hand and slamming it into the basket with full force.

Zeng Xingyang's series of movements, from stealing to launching the counterattack, was smooth and seamless.

The score turned 0 to 2.

Barkley jumped from his seat, screaming, "An exceptional one-on-one defense! Zeng stole from Stephen Curry, then skillfully sidestepped Drummond to complete a powerful dunk."

Smith also shouted from the side, "Stephen shouldn't have challenged the Nuggets' strongest defensive point. Zeng's defense was selected for the second defensive team, and in my opinion, he's fully capable of making the first team."

At this moment, the Pepsi Center in Denver erupted, with cheers, shouts, and applause almost lifting the entire arena's roof off.

Zeng Xingyang spread his arms like an eagle gliding back to his half-court.

The Warriors' offense quickly advanced, with Curry passing the ball to Green, who swiftly transferred it to Thompson.

Seeing this, Bogut quickly came out to set a screen for Thompson. Taking advantage of the screen, Thompson stopped abruptly and shot a three-pointer.

Harris gave it his all to interfere, arms raised high, trying to block Thompson's shot.

However, Thompson's action was smooth and didn't give any chance for interference.

"Swish!" The ball went through the net, a three-pointer made.

The score changed to 3 to 2.

Thompson's crisp three-pointer momentarily quieted the previously heated atmosphere in the arena.

The Nuggets launched an attack.

Zeng Xingyang dribbled to the front, delivering the ball steadily to Jokic on the right side of the free-throw line.

Receiving the ball, Jokic assumed a triple-threat stance, with Bogut quickly stepping up to defend, his body pressing tightly against Jokic, trying to disrupt his offense.

Zeng Xingyang took the opportunity to swiftly cut to the inside.

Bogut's attention got slightly diverted by Zeng Xingyang's maneuver. Jokic keenly observed this and quickly executed a jump shot.

"Swish!" The ball went through the net again for two points.

The score became 3 to 4.

The Warriors set up their offense again.

Curry dribbled to the front court and initiated a pick-and-roll with Green. This time, Zeng Xingyang was screened, and Grant quickly switched to defend Curry.

Grant defended aggressively, sticking closely, trying to limit Curry's breakthrough.

Seeing this, Curry easily breezed past Grant with a step to the right.

Grant reacted quickly, turning to chase back.

Curry took advantage of this brief gap, stepping back to create space from Grant, and then launched a three-point shot.

Grant tried hard to contest, but he was still a step too late.

The ball traced a beautiful arc in the air.

"Swish!" It went through the net again, changing the score to 6 to 4.

It appears that Curry's strong attack remains formidable as long as he doesn't encounter defense at Zeng Xingyang's level.

The Nuggets launched another attack.

This time, Jokic dribbled past half-court, setting a hand-off screen for Zeng Xingyang.

Barnes chased hard from behind, but Jokic's screen blocked him.

Zeng Xingyang got the ball smoothly, quickly jumping and releasing a three-pointer.

Bogut hurriedly tried to defend, but was still a step too slow.

Zeng Xingyang was already familiar with Bogut's defensive rhythm, so he wasn't afraid of that kind of interference.

The ball arced beautifully in the air.

"Swish!" A three-pointer counts, changing the score to 6 to 7.

Zeng Xingyang responded with a three-pointer.
