NBA: Rising Superstar!

Chapter 246, Fierce Battle G6 (Part Four)



"Oh oh, that's divine skill," an excited fan shouted from the stands.

"Your god is Michael, my god is Zeng," another fan chimed in, their face full of admiration.

"He looks like he's flying in the air, it's just too incredible," a female fan exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

"Crack crack crack!"

All the spectators near the baseline widened their eyes, watching in disbelief as this moment unfolded too fast, too unreal. Zeng Xingyang's talent in the air deeply shocked the fans at the scene.

Bogut landed and helplessly shrugged his shoulders; he really did his best on defense.

The on-site fans looked up and cheered repeatedly, their voices echoing throughout the stadium.

The substitutes on the sidelines also erupted in cheers, teammates were excited by Zeng Xingyang's brilliant performance.

Zeng Xingyang's talent shocked everyone.

Barkley, sitting in the commentator's booth, couldn't help but exclaim, "Zeng's athletic talent is the best I've seen among Asians."

Smith laughed beside him, "Isn't Yao's talent even better?"

Barkley rolled his eyes at Smith and said, "I was talking about dynamic talent."

This guy understood what he meant, but just wanted to tease him.

On the court, Zeng Xingyang didn't show extra excitement; to him, such an attack was as simple and ordinary as eating and drinking water.

He just slightly gasped for air, calmly looking ahead, ready for the next challenge.

For the next period of time, the score between the two sides remained tight, back and forth, neither giving an inch.

Both teams began to strengthen their defense intensity, and the physical confrontation on the court became more intense, leading to an increase in fouls.

Bogut and Jokic both fell to the ground a few times.

Curry was also firmly pulled down by Pope, committing a foul.

Zeng Xingyang's arms also had a few more scratches.

Players on both sides entered a life-and-death state for the game, fighting for every possession.

Every possession's whistle required pressure on the referees.

Several referees were under enormous pressure.

The first quarter of the game quickly came to the last 40 seconds, with the score at 28 to 31, the Nuggets leading by 3 points. The Warriors had possession.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

Fans at the Denver Pepsi Center shouted the English word for defense in unison, their voices deafening, seemingly injecting powerful energy into the Nuggets' defense.

Livingston quickly dribbled to the frontcourt.

Green constantly screened for him, one after another, making it so that Zeng Xingyang could never get close to Livingston.

The Warriors were very wary of Zeng Xingyang's defense, his defense was like a death grip, once caught, it was hard to shake off.

"Zeng Xingyang can compete for the Best Defensive Player," the Penguin Sports commentator couldn't help saying, looking at the situation on the court.

Zeng Xingyang showed strong defensive tenacity on the court, especially in one-on-one defense; it was hard for anyone to restrict him.

After Livingston dribbled to the frontcourt, he looked around and found no perfect shooting opportunity, so he passed the ball to Iguodala at the right corner.

Iguodala received the ball, immediately changed direction to drive Pope, but Pope's defensive interference was greater than Iguodala expected, and the drive did not succeed.

In desperation, Iguodala made a sudden stop for a mid-range jump shot.

Zeng Xingyang also came over to help defend.

Livingston's lack of three-point range allowed Zeng Xingyang to help out more freely.

"Bang!"

The basketball heavily hit the rim and bounced up.

Zeng Xingyang quickly returned to defense, leaping high to secure the rebound.

"Great defense."

"Well done."

"That's the kind of defense."

The commentators praised the Nuggets' defense.

"You guys keep touting the pick-and-roll between Zeng Xingyang and Jokic, but I think the Nuggets' defense is the key to this series," a commentator offered his opinion.

"The Nuggets' defense has consistently maintained high intensity, making it difficult for the Warriors to launch that kind of super offensive wave," another commentator agreed.

"It's well known that the Warriors' super offensive bursts can easily destroy opponents' mentality, often breaking their confidence to catch up, but not the Nuggets; the Nuggets' defense in this series has given the Warriors a hard time."

Nuggets on the attack.

Jokic was already resting on the bench.

Zeng Xingyang dribbled to the front court and began to run down the clock.

Nurkić, just substituted, stood at the top of the arc, setting a screen for Zeng Xingyang.

Iguodala saw it and immediately pressured Zeng Xingyang, not daring to be careless, his eyes tightly fixed on Zeng Xingyang's hands, constantly waving his hands to interfere, trying to disrupt Zeng Xingyang's rhythm.

At 8 seconds, Zeng Xingyang decisively initiated a breakthrough, driving from the right side past Iguodala.

The two quickly engaged in fierce physical confrontation, with Zeng Xingyang cleverly distributing the ball to Pope on the perimeter during the clash.

Though only 4 seconds remained, Pope remained calm, first faking a shot, making a false shooting motion, then passing the ball low to the returning Zeng Xingyang.

Iguodala could no longer keep up with Zeng Xingyang's positioning in defense.

When the ball arrived in Zeng Xingyang's hands, there was just over a second left.

The focus of the Warriors' defense was no longer on Zeng Xingyang. Zeng Xingyang caught the ball, swiftly launched a three-pointer.

The moment the ball left his hands.

"Buzz!!"

The time was up.

Fans on site all stared closely at the ball flying on the court, not daring to breathe.

The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air.

"Swish!"

28 to 34.

The Nuggets further extended the lead.

Zeng Xingyang celebrated excitedly with a fist pump.

In the first quarter, Zeng Xingyang performed extremely well, wildly scoring 16 points and 6 assists, leading the team and becoming the absolute leader for the Nuggets in the first quarter.

The entire Warriors team was struggling to cope with the pressure brought by Zeng Xingyang's impact.

"Zeng Xingyang did great!"

"Well done, this is the intensity of Game 6."

"Love seeing games like this, with both offense and defense online."

"That buzzer shot was incredible."

Fans discussed eagerly.

The intensity of this game exceeded many people's expectations.

The second quarter also quickly commenced.

The Warriors maintained strong offensive momentum, while for the Nuggets, apart from Zeng Xingyang and Jokic, whose offense remained relatively steady, the rest seemed less reliable.

This gave the Warriors a chance for a comeback, and they quickly caught up on the score.

The problem for the Nuggets lay in their sixth man not being strong enough; their starters and substitutes didn't seem to be on the same level or system.

This somewhat dragged down their pace.

The first half quickly concluded, with the score tied again at 60 to 60, bringing both teams back to square one.
