Grass growing two meters high on his grave.

"Wow!"

Wall declared confidently, leaving Woj slightly startled. However, the home fans were excited, throwing punches in the air, eager to see Wall dominate Carlos and defend the home court honor.

Following that...

Woj found Carlos and relayed Wall's words, asking, "In response to NBA Draft's first overall pick Wall's challenge, do you have anything to say?"

"Well..."

Carlos thought for a moment and said casually, "The last top pick who said something like that already has grass growing two meters high on his grave."

Woj was initially puzzled, then caught on, bursting into laughter. "Hahaha, Carlos, your comeback is too strong!"

"Who was the last top pick?"

Fans speculated, and a fan with an astonishing memory exclaimed, "It's Griffin! He said something similar to Wall before facing Carlos. Ended up getting demolished by Carlos!"

"Oh, I remember now!"

"Man, Carlos really nailed it. Tonight seems like he's going to crush Wall completely."

"Hehe! It's more like going straight to the afterlife, too ruthless."

"Hey, wait, why are we bringing 'White Howard' into Wall and Carlos' duel?"

"Griffin: Suddenly feels a tightness at the back of his head, who's insulting me?"

"Griffin's grave grass is already two meters high?"

"Hahaha... Griffin caught in the crossfire!"

Fans were amused by Carlos's sharp and amusing comeback. However, as the party involved, Wall couldn't find any humor in it. Instead...

He became even more determined to crush Carlos.

"Hehe, stinky Carlos, watch me crush you later, and see if you can still be arrogant after that."

...

It was another eruption from Wall, another series of mystical schedules, and another direct challenge before the game.

Originally just an average matchup between the Wizards and the Suns, it became a highly anticipated showdown for fans after all these escalating exchanges. As the tension on the court intensified...

The warm-up ended...

Carlos and Wall, the two focal players tonight, entered the court confidently, each with the absolute belief of crushing their opponent.

The game was about to start!

"Jump, ball!"

In the battle for the jump ball between Carlos and McGee, although McGee had talent, he seemed a bit sluggish and weak, even in jumping.

"Smack!"

No doubt...

Carlos, who hadn't lost a jump ball to date, once again snatched the ball before McGee, and Nash, in his accustomed style, caught the ball, initiating the Suns' first full-court attack.

Pushing to the arc...

Looking towards the left baseline but passing horizontally to the right arc, Curry, taking advantage of Carlos's screen, received the ball. With a quick release, he launched a three-pointer.

"Swoosh!"

A direct hit...

Piercing through the net!

An opening three-pointer, and it seemed that Curry's intense training after the loss to the Lakers had paid off.

However...

On the commentary booth...

Van Gundy's attention was on Nash, and he chuckled, "Nash, even at 36, his master-level passing ability is still intact. This play was quite exquisite."

"Yes..."

Mike Breen nodded and added, "But Carlos's screening quality is also high. With his height as a center and his formidable threat, after setting the screen, the Wizards have to keep an eye on him.

This way, Curry, who was already comfortable receiving the ball, has a better shooting environment and can more accurately hit his shots, showcasing his excellent three-point shooting. This solidifies Curry as the team's second-in-command!"

On the court...

Wizards (0): (3) Suns.

The Suns took the lead with an opening three-pointer. With the Wizards having possession, Nick Young dribbled the ball up, reached the middle at the top of the arc, facing Curry, slowly controlled the ball to find rhythm.

On one side...

Wall, under the screen, circled around and positioned himself at the top of the arc, a good spot to shoot as soon as he caught the ball. He immediately reached out for the ball. However...

Nick Young didn't even glance at him.

"Step!"

Carter took the opportunity to chase out.

Would Nick Young pass the ball to Wall? Sorry, the words "passing" are not in my dictionary when facing a one-on-one against Yang.

"Swoosh!"

Curry accelerated, rushed to the basket, and smoothly turned, bypassing the defense. However...

Frye, familiar with Nick Young's offensive style, was ready for interception.

"Bang!"

Under the block, Nick Young's layup attempt failed. However... McGee grabbed the rebound, passed it out to the perimeter, and Wall received the ball. This time he finally got the ball.

"Pound, pound, pound!"

At the top of the arc, holding the ball and with no intention to pass, Nick Young, who favored one-on-one, had no aversion to Wall. He immediately stepped forward to provide a screen.

Wall went around the screen, then faced... Carlos!

"Whoosh!"

At the moment when Wall and Carlos faced off, the arena erupted in a wave of cheers!

"Hehehe!"

In the commentary booth, Mike Breen pointed at the table and laughed, "Here it comes! A showdown between super rookies right from the beginning of the game?!"

"Yes..."

"Isn't this exactly what everyone wants to see?!"

On the court...

Wall stared directly at Carlos, humming, "Carlos, I've been waiting for this battle for a long time. Are you prepared to be crushed by me? Come on! I will make you feel the strength of a top pick, and I will make you feel despair!"

"Oh..."

In response to Wall's challenge, Carlos raised his eyelids in a helpless manner and let out a soft sigh.

Wall's blood-pumping words seemed to have no effect when they reached Carlos's ears.

Hearing Carlos's response, Wall felt a sense of powerlessness, not just physical but also a great deal of frustration and humiliation.

An outburst of anger surged forth.

"Carlos!"

With a cold snort...

Wall's gaze sharpened, and in the instant of switching hands at his hips, he charged to the left like a storm. Wall's first step was as fast as lightning.

However...

Carlos's speed was not slow at all as he chased after him.

"Sizzle!"

But seeing Wall coming with Carlos in tow, he suddenly made an abrupt stop, smoothly took a step to the left, creating a significant gap horizontally between him and Carlos.

"Whoosh!"

A sudden stop and step-back jump shot.

"Hehe!"

"Wall underestimated Carlos too much!"

On the commentary booth, Van Gundy's words had just fallen when Carlos on the court bent his knees and jumped up. Just as Wall released the ball and it left his fingertips, flying towards the basket.

"Smack!"

With a swift slap from the side, the basketball was swatted into the stands.
