"The Warriors are playing awesome!" In another corner, a fan clenched his fist and shouted loudly to those around him, even though the Warriors were at a disadvantage, he still held deep respect for the team.

After the timeout.

The camera kept focusing on Jokic and Zeng Xingyang. The lights inside the court shone brightly, clearly reflecting their silhouettes on the floor.

Fans and commentators on both sides knew that whether the Nuggets could win the game depended on these two's performance.

Zeng Xingyang's eyes were very determined, he gritted his teeth tightly, thinking he must win tonight's game.

Nuggets on offense.

Zeng Xingyang slowly advanced the ball past midcourt.

The Warriors' continuous offensive scores made the cheering of the Warriors fans inside Oracle Arena become more enthusiastic, boosting their morale.

Iguodala quickly stepped up to defend, sticking closely to Zeng Xingyang like a piece of gum, giving him no easy chance to break through.

Iguodala was now full of confidence, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, Zeng Xingyang had almost suppressed the Warriors the entire game, he really wanted to complete the comeback and get his revenge.

Zeng Xingyang combined a back dribble with a spin, his movements skillful and fluid, the basketball moving nimbly with the sway of his body.

Iguodala couldn't break it.

Zeng Xingyang passed to Jokic.

Jokic held the ball at the top of the arc, observing, his tall frame firmly standing, Grant came out to set an off-ball screen for Zeng Xingyang, he quickly moved his feet, using his strong body to block Iguodala's path.

Zeng Xingyang slipped past Grant, shedding Iguodala like a black lightning bolt, cutting toward the paint.

Jokic delivered a bounce pass, the ball sliding along the floor with powerful force, bouncing accurately toward Zeng Xingyang.

Zeng Xingyang received the ball, changed direction to the left and accelerated past Green.

"Bang!" Green tried to slow down Zeng Xingyang, but was still pushed aside.

It's not that Green's defense was poor, but Zeng Xingyang was charging with unstoppable momentum, while Green was passively defending, his body shook and he wanted to chase, but couldn't keep up. Zeng Xingyang held the ball with one hand, lightly leaping up, easily making a high off-the-glass layup, avoiding Barnes who came from the other side for the block.

Zeng Xingyang's movements were graceful and beautiful, the basketball dropped into the net after bouncing off the backboard.

112 to 106

Zhang Weiping excitedly stood up from the commentary booth, waving his hands, shouting: "Beautiful offense, using a brilliant screen and cut to finish a challenging play, helping the Nuggets stabilize the situation."

Yu Jia also added beside him: "This play looks simple, but the difficulty of execution is very high, firstly the cut is hard, then you have to battle Green, and still avoid Barnes's block under the rim, every step of linkage is crucial." He adjusted his glasses, analyzing seriously.

The momentum of the fans at Oracle Arena wasn't too affected, Warriors fans firmly believed their players could come back.

The fans on site shouted their hearts out to cheer for the Warriors, their voices gathering like surging waves, one after another.

Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, passing to Green beyond the left three-point line.

Green held the ball high, observing, as Curry continuously used screens to run over.

Green handed off to Curry, who faced up on Jokic, quickly changing direction, his feet continuously adjusting, the basketball rapidly switching in his hands.

Zeng Xingyang directly doubled-team, not giving Curry a chance to isolate against Jokic, too high was the success rate against Jokic tonight.

Curry quickly jumped up intending to pass to the cutting Green, but his passing route was predicted by Pope.

"Smack!" Pope's quick reflexes completed the steal, Curry's passing wasn't elite, when faced with high-intensity pressure, he had a chance to make mistakes.

"Well done, he stole it."

"Counterattack!!" Coach Zhang shouted excitedly.

After Pope's steal, he quickly passed to Jokic. Jokic delivered a long pass to Zeng Xingyang who was speeding up on the right.

Zeng Xingyang, holding the ball, accelerated fiercely, Iguodala chased madly from behind, teeth clenched, running with all effort, creating a strong sense of pressure.

When he reached the front court at a 60-degree angle beyond the three-point line, Zeng Xingyang suddenly slowed down with a deceptive fake move.

Iguodala was directly tricked, lost balance and staggered. Zeng Xingyang then lateral shifted slightly to adjust for a three-point shot.

"F*ck!!" Iguodala could only watch, unable to contest.

"Swish!" The basketball traced a beautiful rainbow in the air, drawing the attention of the entire crowd, and swished through the net.

115 to 106

"The game's over now." A Warriors fan, covering his mouth, said in disbelief.

"The Nuggets were so steady in the final moments." Another Warriors fan remarked.

"You may not know who the clutch king this season is." A Nuggets fan said proudly, as if declaring his own glory.

"Xingyang is awesome."

"Taking down the Warriors at their home court is really satisfying."

"Holy crap, I now feel like the Nuggets might win this series, too fierce, really too fierce."

Curry dribbled past halfcourt and called a timeout.

The point gap was widening, Curry's expression showed a trace of unwillingness.

...
