K.O.

"One 'No-Look' steal, one 'No-Look' block—Carlos' unexpected steal and block combination is truly extraordinary!" Mike Breen praised with a smile.

"Yeah..."

Van Gundy nodded, smiling, "Carlos, as a center with a distinctive style, even his steals and blocks are unique! And crucially... he's really impressive!"

On the court...

With the unexpected backhand block, not only did Carlos prevent Wall from scoring, but the ball, flying from top to bottom, bounced off Wall and rolled out of bounds, resulting in possession going to the Suns.

"What is this?"

Wall was completely speechless, unable to comprehend Carlos' defensive style and unwilling to accept the fact that he had been shaken off and then blocked.

Transitioning to the counterattack...

Sprinting up the court...

Wall once again found Carlos, immediately entangling him and applying defensive pressure from the beginning, not giving him the opportunity to use the height difference for a direct shot.

In response...

Carlos placed the basketball beneath him and, at the same time, leaned his head forward, forcefully creating a bit of space to break free from Wall's entanglement. With a slight opening for either a drive or a shot.

"Swoosh!"

Seizing that tiny opening, Carlos pulled up directly, facing Wall's defense, and launched a three-pointer once again.

"Cheers!"

Wall, with a forceful jump, attempted to block it. However, Carlos was too tall, and with the "Curry's three-point shot at its peak" ability, his shot was lightning-fast.

"He really can't block it."

"Swoosh!"

Caught off guard, Wall couldn't block it, and as he turned around to look, the ball passed through the net again, another clean swish.

"Taking a three-pointer in front of Wall, Carlos is really unreasonable!"

"And his key shots are very accurate!"

Indeed...

Curry's three-pointers were already unreasonable, and with Carlos's towering height, it became even more so.

In the next possession...

After Carlos once again stopped Wall's offense.

During the transition from offense to defense, Carlos, positioned high on the left side, took a mid-range shot over Wall's head. Wall anticipated this and jumped in advance, almost guaranteeing a blocked shot as soon as Carlos released the ball.

However...

Carlos, relying on the absolute height advantage, released the ball at an extreme height that made it nearly impossible for Wall to block.

"Is this kind of shot even possible?!"

Wall roared...

But the louder he roared, the crisper the sound of the basketball passing through the net.

"Swoosh!"

In again...

This shot unreasonably found the mark once more. Wall, becoming increasingly agitated, shouted at Carlos, "Carlos, dare you to compete with me using your true abilities?!"

"Hmm?"

Carlos looked confused. Wasn't he already using his true abilities?

Staring intently, Wall continued yelling, "Do you dare to score against my defense without using the height difference?!"

"Ah!"

Carlos understood. He was being challenged to a facial challenge.

Daring to openly provoke Carlos meant being prepared to be defeated. Carlos looked at the somewhat frustrated Wall and calmly said, "Sure."

"Beep beep!"

After Nick Young brought the ball over, Coach Saunders called for a timeout.

Wizards (3): (13) Suns.

After Curry's opening three-pointer, Carlos scored 10 consecutive points against Wall. The 10-point difference forced the Wizards to call a timeout.

In the commentary booth...

Van Gundy glanced at the stats and said, "Carlos is 4 for 4, scoring 10 points in a row, while Wall is 0 for 4, no points. The difference is too obvious."

"Yeah..."

Mike Breen added, "Even though Wall had an outbreak last night, he's ultimately still a rookie, while Carlos is a groundbreaking superstar! But... let's see how it goes, after all, the game has just begun, and nothing is certain."

With these words...

The timeout ended, and the game continued.

"Swoosh!"

Coming out of the timeout, in the peak form, Nick Young, stationed on the left arc, executed a hesitation move, pulled up directly, and launched a three-pointer against Carter.

"Swoosh!"

The shot hit the bullseye...

A direct response from the Wizards.

Nash inbounded from the baseline, passing to Curry, hoping he could find an opportunity to retaliate. However, Curry seemed indifferent to these intentions and passed the ball to Carlos.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

At the top of the arc, Carlos faced Wall again,executing a series of crossover dribbles to find his rhythm. Wall kept a watchful eye on him. In an instant when Carlos held the ball in his right hand, he swiftly moved to the right.

A rapid breakthrough.

Wall stepped aside to catch up.

"Sizzle!"

Carlos performed a quick stop, pulling the basketball back between his legs. However, Wall's reaction was also lightning-fast. Overcoming the inertia of gravity, he accelerated and caught up.

However...

"Whoosh!"

In an instant change of direction, Carlos accelerated again, shifting his weight up and down. He cleanly bypassed Wall.

"Sizzle!"

Wall snorted, displaying incredible physical prowess. His sneakers and the floor made a screeching noise as he overcame the inertia of gravity once again, chasing after Carlos.

"Sizzle!"

At this moment, Carlos executed another quick stop and jump shot. Wall, with his center of gravity completely down, couldn't stop himself, rushing toward the basket, directly shaken off by Carlos.

"Swoosh!"

Carlos made the mid-range shot, hitting it with stability.

"Wow!"

The audience burst into strong exclamations, fans gaping, all amazed.

"Where's your defense?!"

Carlos looked at Wall, who was struggling to stabilize himself.

"Cut!"

Wall snorted, unwilling to admit defeat, "Come again!"

Carlos smiled without saying a word. In the next possession, he faced Wall once again. Executing crossover dribbles to find his rhythm, reading the defense at the same time, and then...

"Whoosh!"

Carlos charged out, making a step-through move, executed a quick stop, pulled back, and then accelerated again with the same dazzling move.

However...

This sequence of continuous rhythm changes, combined with Carlos' astonishing speed, once again shook off Wall.

"Sizzle!"

Carlos executed another quick stop and jump shot.

"Damn it!"

Realizing that he had been fooled by the same move again, Wall roared and lunged forward, attempting to block Carlos.

Unfortunately...

With his center of gravity already descending, forcibly twisting to block the shot caused Wall's feet to tangle, and he lost balance in mid-air.

"Bang!"

He crashed onto the floor.

"Swoosh!"

At the same time, the basketball Carlos had released swished through the net.

Following that...

Boom!

The cheers and shouts in the arena were like a tidal wave!
