Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

James, Anthony, Harden, Porzingis, JR Smith, Paul, Eric Gordon, PJ Tucker, and Traece Lyles.

There are also Zhuang Yu, Zhou An, Xiao Qingyang, Clarkson, Nance Jr., Anderson, Kuzma, Westbrook, Love, LaVine, Steven Adams, Shumpert, Brown Jr., Klay, and Rose.

There are as many as 22 NBA players in this stadium, including 9 All-Star players. It is no exaggeration to call it "Little All-Stars".

It is rare for so many NBA stars to get together to play a game. Even the wild ball games organized by Anthony in the past did not have such a gorgeous lineup this time.

So Anthony was very happy, which showed that he had enough face.

Anthony pulled Zhuang Yu and said, "Zhuang, it's great that you can come. I know you are training in New York. I should have invited you earlier."

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "We are here now, aren't we? It's not too late now."

Anthony patted Zhuang Yu's shoulders affectionately and said with a smile, "You are welcome to come over anytime. If you encounter any trouble in New York, you can call me and I will help you solve it."

I'm not bragging.

There is a saying that "Whether New York is in chaos or not, it all depends on Anthony". Although it is a joke among fans, it is not groundless. Anthony has a close relationship with the local forces in New York. It is hard to say about other places, but he is still very popular in New York, and basically everyone will give him face.

After some pleasantries, the competition is about to begin.

Yuan Hong excitedly took out his cell phone and was about to take a picture.

A black man who looked like a bodyguard came over and stared at Yuan Hong with a bad look on his face. Brother Hu quickly stood up, pointed at Zhuang Yu, and said to the security guard, "We are Zhuang Yu's friends."

Hearing that it was Zhuang Yu's friend, the bodyguard turned his head and looked at Anthony with an inquiring look. Anthony waved at him to signal him not to worry about it.

Filming of this type of competition is generally not allowed, but it is not restricted to everyone, otherwise there would be no competition videos streaming online.

Generally, those who are able to take photos have informed the players in advance and obtained their permission.

Anthony was giving face to Zhuang Yu. After all, with Zhuang Yu's achievements in the NBA and his current status in the industry, he deserved some face.

Yuan Hong gave Brother Hu a thumbs up.

Brother Hu smiled and said, "You should thank Zhuang Yu."

"Yep......"

......

On the court, players from both teams have already arrived.

It was just a training game, and both sides did not customize any jerseys. They all wore the clothes they liked to wear during training. Some wore jerseys, some wore training vests, and some wore T-shirts. Anyway, they were all NBA players, and everyone was familiar with them, so they would definitely not recognize the wrong people.

The first five players sent out by Anthony's team were Anthony, James, Harden, Porzingis, and Paul. With four All-Star players plus Porzingis, the lineup was very gorgeous.

Westbrook is still the leader here, and the players on the court are Zhuang Yu, Westbrook, Love, Klay, and Rose, and the lineup is equally strong.

In terms of lineup, the two sides are actually similar. Anthony's team has 4 All-Star players, while Westbrook's team has 5 All-Star players. However, Rose is a former All-Star and has now fallen out of the All-Star lineup.

And in terms of player configuration, both sides have one big and four small players.

The lineups of both teams made people outside the stadium very excited.

“It’s definitely worth fighting for.”

"On one side, there are James, Paul, Anthony and Harden, and on the other side, there are Zhuang Yu, Westbrook, Klay and Love. It's really hard to say which side is stronger."

"Yeah, they're all very strong."

Amid people's discussions, the competition officially began.

Anthony's team got the ball first, and Paul advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he did not rush to work, but first scanned the situation on the court.

Rose is facing Paul, Westbrook is responsible for defending Harden, Zhuang Yu is responsible for defending Anthony, Klay is facing James, and Love is facing Porzingis. They still adopt one-on-one man-to-man defense, each guarding their own opponent.

"Pick and roll."

Paul gestured.

Porzingis went forward for a screen, Paul moved to the left, broke through and passed the ball to James. After James got the ball, he immediately passed it to Anthony without hesitation. Anthony stood outside the three-point line in the right corner, and ignored Zhuang Yu standing in front of him. He received the ball and directly shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

There was a soft sound, and the basketball hit the net.

Zhuang Yu raised his hand, but it obviously did not have much impact on Anthony. Zhuang Yu was not surprised, because this way of scoring was what Anthony was best at, and this was just a training game, so he did not defend very seriously.

The score is 3:0.

Westbrook's offense.

The one responsible for holding the ball and advancing the ball here is Westbrook. After getting the ball, he quickly came to the frontcourt. Without calling for a pick-and-roll, he directly changed direction and accelerated. His speed was very fast. Harden's lateral movement was a little slow and was passed by Westbrook.

Porzingis behind him subconsciously stepped forward to defend, but failed to stop Westbrook. Westbrook jumped up and made a big pull-up shot in the air.

The score is 3:2.

Team Anthony attacks.

This time the ball was given to James, but James did not shoot himself. Instead, he broke through and passed the ball to Harden. After getting the ball, Harden first made a fake shot. Westbrook subconsciously stood on tiptoe, and Harden took the ball and accelerated past him.

The two were former teammates and were very familiar with each other, so although the fight against each other seemed simple, it was actually very targeted.

Just now, Westbrook took advantage of Harden's slow lateral movement when he played against Harden, and now Harden took advantage of Westbrook's poor defense when he played against Westbrook. In addition, Harden's three-pointer threat is very large, so a fake shot outside the three-point line deceived Westbrook.

After passing Westbrook, Harden rushed to the basket, hugged the ball and did a signature European step, dribbled past Love and made a left-handed layup.

"It's so beautiful." Yuan Hong cheered excitedly.

Harden's Eurostep is indeed unique, just like his double step-back, which always leaves defenders helpless.

After that, Westbrook's team also returned one, this time it was given to Love, allowing Love to shoot a three-pointer, which was also accurately hit.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, with very high offensive efficiency and few missed shots.

After all, at their level, and in a training match like this, the defensive intensity is not high, so the hit rate will naturally be very high.

But Zhuang Yu didn't take a shot. After several rounds, he hadn't made a shot or scored any points.

Yuan Hong muttered, "Why doesn't Zhuang Yu attack on his own?"

Brother Hu smiled slightly, made trumpet shapes with his hands, and shouted, "Come on, Zhuang Yu!"

Yuan Hong also shouted: "Come on, Zhuang Yu!"

Hearing the two people's shouts, Zhuang Yu turned his head and smiled at them, then reached the front court and stretched out his hand to ask for the ball.

All the big stars have cheered me on, it would be wrong not to express my gratitude.
