NBA: Rising Superstar!

After the interview, the entire Nuggets team went into a day's adjustment holiday.

Outside the arena, the drizzling rain had just stopped.

With his hands in his pockets, Zeng Xingyang walked briskly toward his sports car. His face still showed a hint of post-game fatigue, but his eyes radiated relaxation.

Tonight, he planned to bring a few female basketball friends home to relieve the mental and physical pressure from the ongoing battles.

Meanwhile, in the arena of another city, the Thunder vs. Spurs series was in full swing.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely heated, with the fans' shouts and cheers merging into a deafening chorus.

Westbrook quickly advanced with the ball, keeping his eyes fixed on the basket, trying to tear through the Spurs' defense.

But the Spurs players' defense was impenetrable.

Duncan guarded the basket calmly, ready at any moment to block Westbrook's attack.

Westbrook ignored Durant, who was open on the outside, and forcefully changed direction to charge inside against Duncan for a layup.

But Duncan blocked it!

....

Westbrook and Durant were slightly at a disadvantage against the experienced Spurs and found it extremely challenging.

The Spurs maintained a healthy and complete lineup, executing their tactics flawlessly, constantly draining Westbrook and Durant's energy through exquisite ball movement and tough defense.

In the crucial G5 showdown, the Spurs, through excellent teamwork and resilient defense, successfully won the game. The G6 battle between the Thunder and Spurs was set to kick off tomorrow.

Nuggets coach Ma Long was well aware of the importance of this game and had given everyone the task of making sure to watch this game during the holiday and prepare for it.

No matter who wins between the Thunder and Spurs, the Nuggets will head to an away game, only the destination would vary.

...

Early the next morning, when Zeng Xingyang and five of his female basketball friends were still resting in bed.

The NBA officially announced this season's All-NBA First Team.

Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Zeng Xingyang, LeBron James, DeAndre Jordan.

Zeng Xingyang's selection did not surprise many people, only Durant's fans were not satisfied.

However, compared to Little Jordan, Zeng Xingyang showed more dominance in the stats. His average score per game was impressive, with excellent rebound and assist numbers, especially his recent performances, completely at an MVP level.

This made even fans outside Durant's circle find no objection to Zeng Xingyang's selection.

In contrast, Little Jordan's average of 12.7 points and 13.8 rebounds seemed a bit lackluster among a group of superstars.

His presence on the playoff stage was also not strong; he did not perform in many critical games.

Therefore, many believed that Little Jordan's selection seemed like the league was just filling a center slot in the All-NBA team.

The second team was Paul, Leonard, Durant, Green, Cousins.

The prowess of this lineup was also terrifying, not losing out to the first team.

Many fans argued fiercely online, with many dissatisfied fans boldly claiming: The second team could completely blow out the first team. They believed that every player in the second team was a top player in their position, capable of changing the game in matches.

The third team was James Harden, Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, Drummond. Overall, the third team was significantly weaker than the first and second teams.

.....

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the sunlight was spilling into the villa courtyard of Zeng Xingyang's home, and the female basketball friends were leaving the villa one by one, each getting into their own car.

Zeng Xingyang was still in his dreams. The relaxation of the previous night had allowed his tired body to get a full rest. He didn't wake up until noon at 12.

At three in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, Zeng Xingyang was driving his sports car on the streets of Denver, his destination was the largest hotel parking lot in Denver. On the way, he made a special stop in front of a flower shop, picking out a bouquet of vibrant roses, intending to surprise Park Jiyeon whom he was about to meet.

Today, Zeng Xingyang was dressed in a simple white sports outfit, wearing Anta products from top to bottom.

As Anta's spokesperson, whether in games or daily life, he mostly wore clothes from the endorsed brand. Due to his tall stature, most of his clothes were custom-made, fitting him perfectly.

Zeng Xingyang wore sunglasses and waited in the car, through which he saw a familiar figure coming out from the hotel elevator. Park Jiyeon was also wearing sunglasses, squatting to tie her shoelace.

She wore a red leather mini skirt paired with a light pink tight shirt, perfectly outlining her slender waistline.

With a sports headband, her long hair tied back, and a red hat perched atop her head, she looked youthful and vibrant yet fashionably charming.

"Wow, unnie, it's really Xingyang oppa, he really came to pick you up." The female assistant accompanying Park Jiyeon, sharp-eyed, spotted Zeng Xingyang, exclaiming in surprise.

"Go back and rest, I'll tell you in detail tomorrow." Park Jiyeon handed her small bag to her assistant, her mouth curving into a shy smile as she walked towards Zeng Xingyang's Porsche.

Zeng Xingyang and Park Jiyeon had known each other for a long time.

As Park Jiyeon walked closer, she gazed at Zeng Xingyang's handsome features, sighing in her heart, no wonder the media in Asia would evaluate Zeng Xingyang as the most handsome male athlete in Asia.

He was not only tall and handsome but also wealthy and famous.

Park Jiyeon and her assistant had also come to the scene the night before to watch Zeng Xingyang's game.

Last night, Zeng Xingyang invited her over to his home, which she politely declined, instead arranging to meet Zeng Xingyang the next day.

Zeng Xingyang said he needed to train for the upcoming game and invited her to join if she wanted to.

Park Jiyeon agreed, feeling that being able to accompany him during his training was also a rare experience.

Park Jiyeon opened the passenger side door and got in.

Even though it wasn't their first close contact, the moment she was near Zeng Xingyang, her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

In his jersey on the basketball court, Zeng Xingyang displayed dominance and energy, whereas in his sportswear now, he showed more of a life-friendly demeanor, both contrasting charms that made Park Jiyeon's heart flutter.

"Good afternoon," Zeng Xingyang said with a smile, handing over the bouquet of roses he had prepared to Park Jiyeon.

"Oh oh, thank you, oppa, where are you training today?" Park Jiyeon took the roses, gently sniffing them, the floral fragrance lingering at her nose, lifting her spirits.

"Training at my home court today. I called a chef to make dinner at my place tonight. Join me for a meal and watch the game," Zeng Xingyang said while starting the car, slowly driving out of the parking lot.

He knew the importance of the Western Conference Finals, with no time to waste.

As for the girl, it didn't matter if she accompanied him or not.

"Okay." Jiyeon softly replied.

To her, the specific venue of their date didn't matter, as long as she could stay by Zeng Xingyang's side, she was already content.

She knew well that many girls dreamt of such a chance.

Zeng Xingyang drove the sports car, with Park Jiyeon, heading to the villa. At this time, Song Xue had already returned home for a while, so Zeng Xingyang didn't need to worry too much when dating female companions.
