The atmosphere is as intense as burning flames, the cheers and shouts of the fans merge into a wave of sound, as if to overturn the entire arena.
Warriors fans are cheering for their home team, knowing the game is at a crucial moment.
It’s the Warriors’ offensive round.
Curry’s eyes are focused, closely watching the situation on the court. He bends down, dribbles skillfully, the basketball rhythmically bouncing between his palm and the floor, making a crisp sound.
Curry quickly dribbles the ball to the frontcourt, then makes a precise pass, giving the ball to Iguodala.
Iguodala unhesitatingly passes the ball to Barnes, who securely catches it with both hands, swiftly scans the court, and then passes the ball to Green.
The Warriors players are like well-trained dancers, conducting seamless ball passing on the court.
Their movements are smooth and swift, the basketball rapidly circulating in their hands, dazzling the spectators.
Green quickly observes the situation on the court and promptly gives the ball accurately to the cutting Thompson.
Thompson, like a black lightning bolt, cuts into the interior, attracting the Nuggets’ defensive players to converge. Just as the defenders close in, Thompson suddenly throws the ball out to the outside Curry.
Curry steadily catches the ball, then swiftly executes a convincing fake move.
With a slight body sway, seemingly ready to break through, Harris is immediately caught off guard, jumping high.
Curry takes a step forward, then moves diagonally outside the three-point line, and at this moment, a huge open space appears before him.
Without hesitation, he shoots a three-pointer, and the basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air, as if equipped with a scope, extremely precise.
"Swish!" The basketball goes through the net cleanly, and the scene instantly erupts in even more fervent cheers and applause.
The commentator excitedly shouts, "Curry’s touch is on!"
"By the third quarter, the Warriors’ offense is noticeably better than the first half."
"In team coordination, the Warriors won’t be any worse than the Nuggets."
The fans at the scene are roaring wildly, waving the towels and flags in their hands, faces brimming with excitement and thrill.
However, the game continues, and the Nuggets’ offense quickly follows.
Zeng Xingyang and Jokic stand on the court, exchanging a glance filled with mutual understanding.
They start with a pick-and-roll as soon as they reach the frontcourt, Zeng Xingyang dribbling, Jokic stepping up to block the defenders, creating space for Zeng Xingyang to break through.
Zeng Xingyang quickly breaks in, drawing the Warriors players’ double team. At this critical moment, he swiftly tosses the ball to the outside Pope. Check latest chapters at NoveI~Fire.net
The Warriors’ defensive rotation speed is extremely fast, and this time Green quickly rushes up to defend Pope.
Pope furrows his brows slightly, quickly moving the ball across to Harris. A gap appears before Harris, and without hesitation, he shoots a three-pointer.
"Clang!" The basketball hits the rim and bounces up. Jokic struggles underneath the basket, jumping high, grabbing the rebound forcefully with both hands, but Iguodala cuts in from the side. Although it hit Jokic’s hand, the referee did not whistle.
After Iguodala gets the ball, he immediately passes it to the fast-breaking Thompson. Thompson takes a step and then passes it to Curry. The Warriors’ transition offense is on, and Curry seizes an opportunity at the left three-point line, quickly catching and shooting.
The basketball traces a splendid arc in the air.
"Swish!" Another clean through the net, the score is now 69 to 61.
Curry completes three consecutive three-pointers!!!!
Oracle Arena reaches a climax instantly, the fans’ cheers are deafening, as if they are breaking through the roof.
Mike Malone stands on the sidelines, his brows tightly furrowed, originally wanting to call a timeout but ultimately restraining himself. He clenches his fist, showing trust in Zeng Xingyang and Jokic with a look in his eyes, believing that these two players can handle the situation.
In the overwhelming pressure of the roaring crowd, Zeng Xingyang takes a deep breath and dribbles to the frontcourt.
He and Pope conduct a simple ball pass, then quickly changes direction for a breakthrough utilizing Jokic’s screen.
Iguodala and Green see this and immediately continue doubling up on Zeng Xingyang.
This time, Zeng Xingyang chooses to pass again, but he doesn’t pass to the outside Harris; instead, he gives the ball to Jokic, who follows up inside.
Jokic catches the ball steadily, his gaze calm and steady, directly raising it for a floater over Barnes.
"Swish!" The ball goes in, the score becomes 71 to 61.
Jokic is really solid, unlike many big men, his touch is particularly soft.
When receiving an inside pass , he has numerous ways to finish the play. Also, his good habit of not lowering the ball after catching makes it hard for smaller players to interfere.
The game continues, and the Warriors’ offense sets out once more.
Curry passes the ball to Green, and having already hit three consecutive threes, Zeng Xingyang doesn’t dare to slack off, choosing to chase Curry on defense himself.
Curry runs with Zeng Xingyang constantly chasing him, his steps agile and varied, like a phantom.
Both Green and Iguodala take turns screening for Curry, but Zeng Xingyang, like a shadow, sticks close to Curry, bypassing him repeatedly.
Clearly, Zeng Xingyang is putting much more defensive pressure on Curry than Harris.
