NBA: Rising Superstar!

The Nuggets' offense.

Zeng Xingyang pushes the dribble rapidly to the front court and then precisely bounces the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc.

Jokic brings the ball to the low post with Bogut behind him, using his hefty build to apply power and forcefully collide.

The contact is made, and he quickly spins around.

Bogut can't react in time and stumbles under the impact of the force.

The referee's whistle sounds, calling Bogut for a blocking foul.

Jokic heads to the free-throw line.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly tenses up; fans hold their breath, afraid to distract Jokic at the line.

"Swoosh!" The first free throw goes in, the ball swishing through the net, the crisp sound echoing in the arena.

But the second free throw hits the rim with a "clang" and bounces out.

94 to 95.

The Warriors' offense.

Curry and Bogut quickly engage in a pick-and-roll play.

Curry moves nimbly, while Zeng Xingyang, in pursuit, is blocked by Bogut's solid screen.

Seeing this, Jokic quickly switches to defend Curry.

Facing Jokic's defense, Curry swiftly enters iso mode, making continuous crossovers, his footwork as agile as a phantom.

Then, Curry performs a sidestep move, quickly collecting the ball and decisively launching a three-point shot.

Jokic quickly closes in, but Curry's release is too fast, making Jokic's interference minimal.

The basketball traces a beautiful arc in the air.

Like a dazzling meteor in the night sky.

"Swoosh!" A direct hit!!

The score changes to 97 to 95.

Curry firmly seized the opportunity of the mismatch against Jokic, maintaining high stability even when shooting off the dribble.

Originally heated, the atmosphere now feels like a bucket of cold water has been poured over it, bringing a palpable tension.

Today, the Nuggets' defense has been excellent; every player has given their all, but it's still hard to completely suppress the powerful Warriors.

The fans can only hope that the Nuggets' offense can erupt again and reclaim the advantage.

The Nuggets attack again.

Zeng Xingyang, like an arrow released from the bow, quickly dribbles past half-court, then precisely delivers the ball to Jokic at the free-throw line.

Jokic holds the ball steadily, his body tightly leaning against Bogut, his eyes constantly scanning the court situation.

After a brief deliberation, Jokic decides to pass the ball to Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang, using a teammate's screen, swiftly drives in.

However, the Warriors' interior defense is impenetrable, like a wall of steel.

Unable to penetrate further, Zeng Xingyang, facing Thompson's tight defense, continues dribbling while observing his teammates' positions.

Soon, Zeng Xingyang cleverly passes the ball to the perimeter to Harris.

Harris and Grant have relatively weaker offensive capabilities, so Harris immediately looks for a passing opportunity when he catches the ball.

Jokic sets a back screen for Zeng Xingyang again.

Harris, understanding quickly, passes the ball laterally to Zeng Xingyang.

At this moment, Zeng Xingyang encounters a mismatch against Bogut.

Zeng Xingyang almost mimics Curry's choice against Jokic.

He continuously dribbles and crosses over, leaving Bogut stumbling.

Then he steps back, collects the ball, and quickly shoots a three-point jumper.

Bogut is completely out of rhythm, only able to watch as the ball flies towards the hoop.

The basketball once again traces a beautiful arc.

"Swoosh!" A direct hit!!

The score shifts to 97 to 98.

The crowd erupts instantly, cheers and shouts intertwining, as if about to lift the roof off the arena.

But these cheers quickly die down.

Because Curry, upon receiving Green's pass, races past half-court like lightning.

About one and a half meters outside the three-point line, using Bogut's screen, he slightly shakes off Zeng Xingyang's interference and unhesitatingly launches a long-range three-pointer.

At this moment, Curry is obviously a bit impatient, but this deep three is his forte.

"Swoosh!" Another direct hit!!

The score turns to 100 to 98.

Curry continues to hammer the Nuggets with his indefensible threes.

Zeng Xingyang's gaze at Curry seems to burn with fire.

Curry's offensive prowess is overwhelming, and with screens, it's nearly impossible to completely contain him.

Zeng Xingyang knows deep down that if two of him could switch on Curry, it would be highly effective, but that's not reality.

Currently, Jokic can't defend on the perimeter.

The Nuggets attack again.

Zeng Xingyang responds to Curry with equal strength.

Jokic initiates the attack on the left side, executing a fake handoff with Harris, confusing the opponent's defense.

Then, Jokic, holding the ball like a tank, breaks into the paint.

Jokic disrupts the Warriors' defense by charging inside.

On the move, Jokic bounces the ball to Grant in the corner.

Grant, holding the ball, drives along the baseline, compresses the Warriors' defense again, then swiftly swings the ball out to Zeng Xingyang, two steps outside the left three-point line.

Zeng Xingyang, upon receiving the ball, wastes no time, springs up like a coil, decisively launching an ultra-long three-pointer.

The ball traces a beautiful arc in the air.

"Swoosh!"

A direct hit!!

The score goes to 100 to 101.

"There it is, Zeng Xingyang and Curry are locked in a three-point shootout, both hitting threes in succession. This game is simply spectacular; this is the playoffs we want to see!" Zhang Weiping exclaimed excitedly, his voice filled with emotion.

Just as Coach Zhang said, the game's excitement continues to escalate with their three-point duel.

The fans' emotions are fully roused, each one immersed in this intense game, with cheers and shouts rising and falling.

The Warriors' offense.

Curry brings it to the front court; this time, the Nuggets elevate their defense on Curry to a higher level.

Every defender is on high alert, their eyes locked onto Curry.

Thompson quickly sprints from the left low post to the mid free-throw line.

Curry passes to Green, who swiftly sends the ball to Thompson.

Thompson, catching the ball, quickly jumps and shoots.

Harris leaps with all his might to contest, nearly touching Thompson.

"Swoosh!"

The score changes to 102 to 101. The Warriors' offense continues like a surging tide, wave after wave, constantly attacking the Nuggets' defense.

The Nuggets' attack.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles to the front court, passing the ball to Jokic in the low post.

Grant quickly comes out to set an off-ball screen for Zeng Xingyang.

Jokic scans the situation briefly and quickly passes the ball out.

Zeng Xingyang receives the ball, facing Thompson's wrap-around defense.

"Bang"

A decisive dribble, the basketball thuds against the floor with a dull sound.

Then, Zeng Xingyang quickly steps back, creating space from Thompson, immediately launching a strong three-point attempt.

This shot is purely Zeng Xingyang banking on his red-hot touch, a strong three-point attempt.

"Clang!" The ball hits the rim and bounces out.

But under the basket, Jokic exhibits his dominating presence, jumping high to snatch the offensive rebound among two players.

Zeng Xingyang, taking advantage of the Warriors' staggered defense, swiftly cuts in from the top.

Jokic turns and sends the ball precisely to Zeng Xingyang.

Upon receiving the ball, Zeng Xingyang springs up, soaring high.

Bogut raises his hand to block, but Zeng Xingyang's jump is far too high for Bogut to disrupt.

"Bang!" Zeng Xingyang slams the ball in fiercely over Bogut.

The score changes to 102 to 103.
