Nie Chuan clenched his fists.

Because of this dunk by Riven, KSU's momentum was greatly boosted. Their small forward Ashley quickly dribbled into DK's area, and Riven had already rushed to the basket. His ability to block positions was very strong, squeezing Montenegro to the outer circle.

Nie Chuan quickly followed up on defense. Ashley feinted with his feet and his body swayed wildly, making it almost impossible for the audience to follow his direction.

But despite such changeable steps, Nie Chuan followed closely.

Ashley had an illusion that Nie Chuan was tied to him and he couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

At the moment when he tried to break through, the audience only felt Nie Chuan's wrist flick, and Ashley's ball was already controlled by Nie Chuan's rhythm. With a sharp turn, everything suddenly reversed.

Nie Chuan was extremely fast and the audience was excited by him, but Nie Chuan felt nothing. He only knew that he had to make the layup as fast as possible, otherwise he would soon be overtaken by Riven.

"His ability to steal the ball and his speed are his weapons to become a small forward!" Robert, an NBA veteran, exclaimed.

The steal just now was so brilliant that many people only thought that Nie Chuan's skills were so graceful, but they did not see clearly how he did it.

But Riven caught up at a speed that no one else could match. From DK's area to KSU's three-point line, Riven was like a cheetah determined to win.

Nie Chuan finally came to the basket and raised his hand to dunk.

"Be careful--" Carlo's shout came.

Nie Chuan could keenly feel the vibration of the air behind him. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to turn sideways, and glanced at Riven's figure.

This guy is so fast!

Nie Chuan was about to withdraw his hand for the layup, but Ewing had already rushed over to meet him. At the moment when Nie Chuan's body was almost facing away from Raven, the opponent used his other hand to slam the ball down.

"Oh——" the audience exclaimed.

Nie Chuan's heart seemed to be broken, he had already lost the ball.

Raven landed, hooked the ball with his long arms, and counterattacked with his powerful speed.

Nie Chuan didn't have any time to hesitate and chased after him. He ran for his life, but was intercepted again by small forward Ashley outside the three-second zone. He could only watch Raven break through the defense of Ewing and Chuck and confront Carlo.

Nie Chuan shook his shoulders and then accelerated, but Ashley was always in front of him. Nie Chuan stopped suddenly, took a probing step, and then made a desperate move and shook his shoulders sharply, finally passing Ashley.

Carlo used his sharp movements together with Montenegro to resist Riven's tendency to rush into the basket, but Riven was no ordinary person. Before Nie Chuan arrived, he used a fake move to cause Montenegro to almost collide with Carlo, and then went around to the other side.

Nie Chuan caught up. He thought Riven would go straight to the basket, but Riven shot directly!

Nie Chuan tried his best to jump up and intercept. Montenegro and Carlo also caught up, but they were still a step too late. The ball touched the basket and bounced up.

But Raven seemed to have known that his ball would not go in, so he rushed forward, jumped into the air before Montenegro and Carlo, and dunked the bouncing basketball into the basket in one go.

The audience cheered wildly.

Nie Chuan frowned. If Riven kept going at this speed, Nie Chuan wondered how many people could keep up.

Owen in the audience narrowed his eyes: "Raven Harvey is afraid of Nie Chuan."

"Are you afraid of Nie Chuan? Not really? This is the first time for Nie Chuan to play an offensive role." Teammate Thomas asked puzzled.

"Because he knows Nie Chuan's speed and defensive ability, if he goes directly to the basket to shoot, there is a high possibility that Nie Chuan will steal the ball in the process, so he shoots directly. If he can hit the target, he can naturally score. If he can't hit the target, he will also attract Montenegro and Carlo away from the basket, and then he can catch the ball in the air and dunk to score." Irving analyzed.

"So that's how it is..." Thomas nodded, "But even if he is afraid of Nie Chuan, Raven must have strong strength to execute this volley dunk."

"Hmm." Owen nodded.

Ben, who was leaning against the railing, nudged Seton with his elbow: "Do you still think this game is boring?"

Seton tilted his head and smiled: "That black-haired kid is indeed more capable than I thought. But it's still difficult for DK to beat KSU."

"Why?"

"To maintain a speed comparable to Raven's, one must have equally sufficient endurance and stamina. That brat is still a little short of that."

The game entered a fierce battle just ten minutes into the game, and Nie Chuan's nerves were so tense that they were about to break at any time.

KSU got the ball, Ewing shot quickly and interfered with the opponent's shot. Montenegro competed with the opponent's center for the rebound under the basket. Montenegro grabbed the ball in one fell swoop, and then made a long pass to Chuck, intending to launch a fast break.

But before the ball reached Chuck, it was snatched away by Raven.

The audience cheered. Nie Chuan had to chase Riven while shaking off Ashley who was defending him. Under the double pressure, Nie Chuan's fatigue increased exponentially.

If Reese is on the court, I just need to concentrate on controlling the ball...

Nie Chuan subconsciously looked at Reese on the sidelines.

At that moment, it was as if Reese saw through his thoughts. An invisible force crushed Nie Chuan's heart, making him feel ashamed.

How can I always rely on Reese?

This wasn't just a match between Nie Chuan and Reese. If they couldn't break through the shackles, they would have no way forward!

Nie Chuan moved his wrist, and the game continued. Carlo stared at Raven, which put him under great pressure. Nie Chuan took the pass from Chuck while shaking off Ashley, and sped up again, breaking through the defense of the opponent's point guard and point guard smoothly, and was about to launch an attack on KSU's basket again.

I have to be faster, faster than before, otherwise Riven will catch up with me!

Nie Chuan gritted his teeth and ran at full speed. Carlo wanted to protect Riven for Nie Chuan, but Riven turned around and shook off Carlo.

Nie Chuan came to the basket, and the moment he was about to make a layup, the opponent's center jumped up to block him.

His height was much higher than Nie Chuan, so the pressure was enormous.

But Nie Chuan was very calm. He passed the ball without any hesitation. He turned his body sideways, avoiding the opponent's arm, and was about to pass the ball into the basket through the opponent's neck.

Just as Robert was marveling at Nie Chuan's time in the air, he heard a "bang" and the ball was knocked down by Riven who bounced up.

"Oh...Oh my God..." Larven in the stands covered his face.

In this shot, Nie Chuan's speed and technique were at their best, but he was unable to get past Riven.

Carlo, who was not far away, also showed a regretful expression and quickly returned to defense.

"Raven is too fast. Although Nie Chuan also wants to avoid confrontation with him under the basket, the area from the three-second zone to the basket will still become Raven's blocking area." Coach Gordon pursed his lips, "The presence of small forward Ashley has indeed become a stumbling block for Nie Chuan. And Raven has always controlled the rhythm of the game... I'm wondering, should we let Peter play as small forward and Nie Chuan return to point guard..."

"No need." Reese said calmly.

"Are you sure?" Coach Gordon raised his eyebrows. "Nie Chuan has been blocked twice by Raven. If he is blocked for the third time, it will put a lot of pressure on him mentally. I think this is also Raven's purpose. Don't we need to avoid such a result?"

"Avoidance cannot change reality." Reese's eyes followed Nie Chuan's figure all the time, "and the more pressure you put on him, the greater his rebound will be."

At this moment, Nie Chuan dribbled the ball into KSU's basket, and the audience's emotions were aroused.

Commentator Engel also said excitedly: "I wonder if he can score this time?"

Nie Chuan made a jump shot, very realistic, standard shooting preparation, Ashley reached out to intercept, Nie Chuan suddenly took the ball back, lowered his body to pass by him, and then faced Raven. This time he passed the ball to Carlo, but Raven did not go to stop Carlo but stared at Nie Chuan.

With Raven in front and Ashley behind, Nie Chuan really has the urge to overthrow them by force.

Carlo passed the ball to Ewing, who was guarded too much and passed the ball to Montenegro. Montenegro received the ball and was about to dunk but was almost blocked by the opponent's center.

At that moment, Nie Chuan made a quick fake move and unexpectedly passed Raven. Montenegro took the ball back and passed it to Nie Chuan, who jumped up to catch the ball!

I must score!

As expected, Raven came to intercept. His jumping ability was amazing. Nie Chuan turned sideways, changed the angle of his wrist, and was about to shoot a K into the basket. However, before the ball could be pushed out by his fingers, it was knocked down by Raven at the last moment.

The audience sighed with regret.

At that moment, Nie Chuan's tears were about to fall.

He landed unsteadily and almost fell to the ground.

After receiving the ball, Ashley quickly headed to DK's area and passed the ball to his own point guard, who made a shot and widened the score gap to double digits!

This quarter of the game finally ended.

Nie Chuan was breathing heavily.

He looked so tired, not like he had just finished a quarter, but rather like the entire game was over.

"Although DK is eleven points behind KSU, for some reason, I feel that the quality of this game is very high." commented Espenson.

"Nie Chuan's performance as a small forward was also quite good. If KSU didn't have Raven, I have no doubt that he would have scored at least 15 points in the first half of the game."
