NBA: Rising Superstar!

The next play is the Warriors' offense.

Curry dribbled to the front court, still defended by Zeng Xingyang, while Nelson handed Thompson over to be defended.

Thompson's ball-handling offensive ability is not outstanding, allowing Nelson to focus on defending his off-ball positioning.

Curry passed the ball to Green, who then gave it to Thompson.

Thompson leaned against Nelson on the left low post, wanting to attack him at this point. Nelson knew his defensive weaknesses, so while Thompson had the ball, he kept trying to swipe it. Although he couldn't steal it, he could disrupt Thompson's rhythm.

Sure enough, after dodging with the ball, Thompson chose to adjust on the spot and took a fadeaway mid-range shot. His body slightly leaned back in the air, and the basketball flew out of his hands.

"Clang!" The basketball hit the rim, and then was securely controlled by Jokic.

Cole frowned slightly on the sidelines, thinking that if they continued playing like this, it seemed the Warriors might be at a disadvantage in the upcoming game.

Thompson is best at off-ball, forcing him to attack Nelson head-on isn't very efficient.

The Nuggets' offense unfolded again.

Nelson dribbled to the front court.

Zeng Xingyang did an off-ball screen with Jokic inside, and then moved to the left low post.

The same tactical positioning formed as before, Nelson continued to bounce pass to Zeng Xingyang.

Thompson continued to defend against Zeng Xingyang, this time it was Barnes coming from the other side to double-team, not Curry from the top.

Galinarli was left open at the top of the arc, and Zeng Xingyang passed the ball to him.

At this moment, Green went up to defend, forcing Barnes to quickly go mark Pope.

Galinarli passed back to Nelson, and Nelson to Zeng Xingyang again.

These two are very smart players. Although they didn't become the Nuggets' starters for various reasons, their basketball IQ and abilities were not lacking.

Zeng Xingyang and Thompson faced off one-on-one.

Zeng Xingyang began to post up Thompson, his body closely sticking to Thompson.

"Bang!" "Bang!" He continuously bumped into Thompson sideways. On the third bump, Zeng Xingyang spun around, wanting to pass Thompson.

Thompson slipped up, losing his defensive position.

Bogut came over from under the basket to help defend. Zeng Xingyang looked to the right but stepped to the left with an extreme European step, getting past Bogut.

Zeng Xingyang grabbed the ball with one hand, leapt off the ground and took off into the air, his body stretching powerfully.

"Thud!" The basketball was slammed into the hoop forcefully.

European step dunk, what a play!

The Nuggets fans in the arena erupted once again.

"Oh, what an amazing shot!"

"Zeng Xingyang, incredible!"

"He even dunked that!"

The score changed to 16 to 15.

"F*ck!" Bogut slammed the ball to the floor angrily, a look of frustration on his face. His defense on this play was too passive.

The Warriors continued their offense.

Curry dribbled up and then passed the ball to Green, who began organizing the ball movement in the front court.

The Nuggets' defensive players were running very actively, their eyes full of determination, not allowing the Warriors to easily find an open shot.

With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, the ball returned to Curry's hands.

Green quickly stepped up to set a screen for Curry, blocking Zeng Xingyang.

Curry took the opportunity to break through, but Zeng Xingyang did not give up, continuing to chase and quickly moving his feet.

Curry's absolute speed wasn't fast, but his offensive finishes were varied, making them hard to predict.

In motion, Curry switched the ball from the left to the right, got past Jokic, then gathered, soared with a gliding layup. His body performed a difficult movement in the air, choosing to bank high to avoid interference.

Only Zeng Xingyang's jump height exceeded Curry's prediction.

"Snap!" As Zeng Xingyang was still climbing, he forcefully leapt and spiked the ball against the backboard.

"Oh! What a brilliant block!"

"That's the way to pin it!"

"Well done, good job!"

"Zeng Xingyang jumped so high. Curry might start having nightmares if this continues."

The fans were buzzing with excitement, the atmosphere reaching a climax.

After the rebound fell, both Jokic and Galinarli scrambled for it, and Green and Bogut rushed in too.

Jokic controlled the ball first, but Green crashed into him.

The referee immediately whistled Green for a foul, giving possession to the Nuggets.

Nelson dribbled to the top of the arc, then glanced at Zeng Xingyang before passing the ball to him.

Zeng Xingyang organized the offense, with Jokic positioning at the free throw line against Bogut, raising one hand high to ask Zeng Xingyang for the ball.

Zeng Xingyang executed a bounce pass to Jokic, then quickly moved into position.

Galinarli and Pope simultaneously came over to screen for Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang moved to the left into the open space.

Jokic did a pass to Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang caught the ball and made a fake, but Barnes didn't fall for it. Zeng Xingyang dashed to the right with the ball, and Barnes used his body to block Zeng Xingyang. Their bodies were tightly upon each other, and the confrontation was intense.

The physical confrontation was strong, but Zeng Xingyang maintained his balance.

Zeng Xingyang executed a leftward crossover, slower to faster, a rhythm change that shook off Barnes.

He stepped up and took off, charging the basket, while Bogut jumped to block.

Zeng Xingyang, with a large circle avoiding the block, laid the ball up, his movements flowing smoothly, sinking the basket securely.

Nuggets fans cheered once more.

"Oh, he even made that!"

"Well done!"

"Amazing, can't stop a layup like that!"

"Scoring seems really simple, huh!"

Score 16 to 17.

Zeng Xingyang raised a fist towards the sky, then retreated on defense.

Having been suppressed by the Warriors for a long time from the start, he wanted to lash out at this moment.

The Warriors' offense began again.

After Curry dribbled over, he continued to initiate a pick and roll with Green.

Zeng Xingyang anticipated it, dodging the screen to pursue Curry, his eyes fixed on the ball in Curry's hands. Green wanted to screen again, but Zeng Xingyang dodged it a second time.

"Bang!" Green couldn't help but hit Zeng Xingyang, who fell to the ground.

The referee decisively called Green for an illegal screen, giving possession to the Nuggets.

Jokic and Galinarli pulled Zeng Xingyang up, and Zeng Xingyang brushed off his jersey with a smile on his face.

This time the defense was successful, the key to defending the pick and roll is effective maneuvering. If the defender continues these moves, it's difficult for the screener to gain space.

Zeng Xingyang's pick-and-roll defense is also top-notch; he always finds the best way to defend. Of course, most of the time, the Warriors need to switch, but occasionally it's possible to squeeze through.

Green and Bogut are some of the best screeners in the league.
