This was a match where a rookie shocked the league.
The Warriors have always been considered an invincible super team, and few believed the Nuggets could win at the Warriors' home court.
But under the leadership of Zeng Xingyang, the Warriors, even at the Oracle Center, didn't seem so formidable.
Media and fans started to think that maybe the Nuggets could win the series.
However, these opinions didn't affect Zeng Xingyang much.
Zeng Xingyang didn't care about those opinions and believed that by earnestly approaching every confrontation on the court, advancement would naturally follow.
Curry's offensive capabilities were strong, but he looked embarrassed when he encountered Zeng Xingyang on the court, which greatly boosted Zeng Xingyang's self-confidence.
Winning Game 1 was crucial for the Nuggets, as it gave them hope.
Mike Malone and many players gained a clearer understanding of their own strengths.
