NBA: Rising Superstar!

Next is the attack from the Argentina Team.

Campazzo dribbles to the front court, tightly marked by Zeng Xingyang. With a fake move, Campazzo cleverly passes the ball to Ginobili.

After receiving the ball, Ginobili makes a quick change of direction, darting swiftly like a ghost, attracting the Chinese Team's defensive attention. Then, quick as a flash, he passes the ball to the advancing Scola.

Scola, with the fundamental skills as solid as a rock, calmly adjusts his footwork after catching the ball under the basket, fakes out Zhou Qi, and finishes the layup with resistance. 2-2.

The cooperation among the Argentina Team players is as smooth as flowing water.

Scola looks effortlessly comfortable on the court.

Zeng Xingyang dribbles to the front court, swiftly calling Ah Lian over for a hand-off pass. After receiving the ball, Ah Lian quickly returns it to Zeng Xingyang.

Facing Scola's defense, Zeng Xingyang dribbles fast with a "bang! bang!", constantly changing his rhythm.

Facing Scola, Zeng Xingyang executes continuous pull-back and direction changes, skillful and threatening.

Instead of forcing a shot, Zeng Xingyang uses his agility to suddenly explode to the left, successfully breaking through Scola's defense.

Scola turns back to chase but can only see Zeng Xingyang's back.

Zeng Xingyang soars into the air, drawing Noceioni and Delphino over, then with a sharp eye, accurately passes the ball to Ah Lian advancing in the center lane.

Ah Lian receives the ball, raises it high like a soaring eagle, and slams it hard.

"Clang!" The ball is smashed heavily into the basket.

4-2.

The cooperation between Zeng Xingyang and Ah Lian is seamless and admirable.

"Wow wow wow, Ah Lian definitely still has NBA-level skill, amazing," a fan jumps up from their seat, shouting excitedly.

"He's the only one on the Chinese Team who can keep up with Zeng Xingyang's pace," another fan agrees.

"Zhou Qi and Da Wang were also selected by the NBA, but they don't seem as good as Ah Lian," yet another fan says, sharing their opinion.

"Ah Lian is the best helper beside Xingyang," a seasoned fan comments emotionally.

"From Xingyang, I see the demeanor of a superstar at play," a young fan says, eyes full of admiration.

The fans are buzzing with discussions, and the atmosphere is exceptionally lively.

Commentator Zhang Weiping also shouts excitedly, "Xingyang has a lethal attraction on the opponent's defense, creating open spaces for teammates with ease."

Yu Jia adds, "Others need to provide Xingyang with more support."

On the court, Zeng Xingyang and Ah Lian slap high-fives in celebration. Ah Lian enjoys teaming up with Zeng Xingyang a lot, as partnering with him makes scoring effortless.

Throughout the rest of the game, Zeng Xingyang continually strives to link up the whole team, always searching for the best offensive opportunities.

Unlike Serbia and Team USA, the Argentina Team lacks tremendous talent, giving the Chinese Team a slightly easier time.

The Argentina Team's offense is primarily initiated and connected by Campazzo. This outstanding Argentine guard is attracting the attention of NBA scouts, showing potential to become a top-tier commanding point guard on the court.

The first quarter ends quickly with the teams tied.

At the start of the second quarter, the Argentina Team gains a slight edge.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, a trace of determination flashes in Zeng Xingyang's eyes, and he quickly stands out to take charge of the game, relentlessly using his strong individual abilities to initiate attacks.

At 6:11, Zeng Xingyang, while advancing with the ball, suddenly faces tight pressure from Ginobili.

Ginobili lowers his center of gravity, his long arms wrapping around Zeng Xingyang like a nimble snake, using subtle movements to disrupt Zeng Xingyang.

The referee does not call a foul, and Zeng Xingyang can only press his back tightly against Ginobili.

Ginobili attempts a quick steal with his right hand from behind, but Zeng Xingyang anticipates this, flicking his wrist to pass the ball between his legs. In turning, his elbow accidentally brushes Ginobili's rib.

The Argentine veteran grunts, forced to swallow his irritation.

In motion, Zeng Xingyang makes a feigned drive and real pass, suddenly lobbing the ball high into the air.

Ah Lian, cutting in from the baseline like a cheetah, catches the ball and soars high for a powerful alley-oop dunk.

Watching on the side, Ginobili looks helpless. This 39-year-old legendary guard has to admit, Zeng Xingyang's mature command of the game has reached a phenomenal level.

....

Before halftime ends, Ginobili handles the ball at the arc top with Zeng Xingyang closely defending him. The Argentine suddenly lowers his center of gravity, performing a Euro step into the basket. Despite Zhou Qi's block attempt, he unexpectedly lobs the ball into the air.

Delphino sprints from the baseline, attempting a one-handed aerial slash.

Instantly, the Argentine fans erupt in excitement as if ignited.

However, on the other side of the basket, Zeng Xingyang rockets up like a launch, delivering a solid block to Delphino!!!

"Ah!!!" The venue boils over.

The Argentine fans' cheers are abruptly silenced.

The first half ends with the score fixed at 47-44, the Chinese Team leading by 3 points.

As the third quarter begins, Zeng Xingyang continuously assaults Ginobili's defense.

First, using a hesitation move, he easily fakes out his opponent, then makes a high float shot to score;

Secondly, he forcefully breaks through, drawing a foul from Ginobili and making both free throws;

Thirdly, while holding the ball at the top, he suddenly stops short, shoots a three-pointer, and the ball swishes through the net.

These three breakdowns force the Argentina Team into a timeout.

The coach quickly calls a timeout, gathering the players, discussing strategies with solemn expressions.

.....

Subsequent to this, the game situation remains under the Chinese Team's control, yet the Argentina Team fights tenaciously, refusing to let the gap widen, as both sides continually battle back and forth.

In the final 2 minutes and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter, Zeng Xingyang encounters a double-team at the arc top.

With a calm gaze, he suddenly passes the ball under an opponent's legs, bouncing it to Ah Lian under the basket.

After receiving the ball, Ah Lian is met with the challenge from Scola and Noceioni, cleverly passing it to the corner.

Xiao Ding decisively takes the open shot, hitting a three-pointer!

The Chinese Team has other players stepping up, and at this crucial moment, Xiao Ding also withstands immense pressure.

In the next possession, Ginobili attempts his signature serpentine drive for a layup, but Zeng Xingyang's sharp eyes predict his move, preemptively blocking his path.

The Argentine is forced to distribute the ball, and Campazzo's three-pointer misses.

After grabbing the rebound, Zeng Xingyang launches into an end-to-end counterattack, completing a high-difficulty layup despite Delphino's defense....

As the final whistle sounds, the score is fixed at 88-84.

The Chinese Team wins the bronze medal match!! Achieving a breakthrough of epic proportions!!

At the awards ceremony.

"Click click click!!" Reporters frantically press their shutters, capturing Zeng Xingyang holding the bronze medal, a hint of unwillingness on his face.

All Chinese fans know.

The new era for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team has just begun.
