The Blue Team's lineup is inferior to that of the Red Team.

The five Adidas players were all at the peak of their careers, but the four players Wei Guo temporarily brought in were all MVP level.

If we really want to single it out...

Only Duncan and Garnett on the Blue Team can be considered to be on par with the Red Team players; they are somewhat inferior to Chauncey Billups and Gilbert Arenas.

It's hard to evaluate McGrady as a player. The fact that the Blue Team gave McGrady the first basket shows Billups' trust in him, and it also shows that McGrady's one-on-one ability is the best on the Blue Team.

Kobe guards McGrady!

McGrady caught the ball with one hand, faked a shot, and took a big step to break through Kobe's left side. Kobe moved to help defend, but McGrady suddenly stopped and pulled up for a jump shot!

Kobe lost his balance, and it was impossible for him to jump and block McGrady again!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

2:2!!!

Kobe and McGrady each scored a goal.

To be fair, when Kobe drove along the baseline, Duncan didn't cover for him, and Kobe didn't go all out when defending McGrady.

The audience tonight is happy to be able to watch an All-Star game in their own backyard. They don't know which team to support, after all, each of these players has a huge fan base. Wei Guo originally thought of inviting Yao Ming, because if Yao Ming is there, the audience will definitely support the Red Team.

Unfortunately, Yao Ming has a foot injury and is currently undergoing rehabilitation.

Wei Guo shows off his fancy skills!

He dribbled past Billups and Garnett with a butterfly-like flourish, even exchanging a glance with James, before leaping up and slamming the ball onto the backboard.

James leaped to catch up!

"Bang!!!"

He catches the basketball in mid-air and delivers a tomahawk dunk!

This kind of collaboration is an ultimate visual treat. Seeing it on TV and seeing it live are completely different concepts... In domestic competitions, you might not see a dunk like this even once a season.

There are differences in talent, that must be acknowledged... LeBron James is the most talented of all. Before entering the league, James trained with Wei Guo for two summers, which led to significant breakthroughs in his skills.

presumably...

After Wei Guo retires, James can become the best player in the league.

Blue team, attack!

Duncan received the ball beyond the three-point line, and Wei Guo took a step back. "Shoot, Tim... I won't guard you."

"Hey..."

Since it was just an exhibition game, Duncan didn't care and just made a three-pointer.

The basketball grazed the backboard and went into the basket!

The host exclaimed excitedly, "Duncan's three-pointers were so accurate... He surrendered just now, he must have wanted to save face for Wei Ge."

"Hahaha..."

The audience burst into laughter at the host's antics.

Duncan makes a circle with his thumb and forefinger and places it over his eye, a gesture that resembles the English letter 'ok'. This is a common celebration gesture, and many players in the league make this gesture after making a three-pointer.

......

The game was played harmoniously, though it can't be said that there was no defense.

It's true that there wasn't a single foul... The referee was just running around aimlessly, and the defensive moves were all too clean. When a player tried to put on a show, the defender would even dodge or deliberately let him win.

Five minutes passed.

27:26!!

The red team is leading by 1 point.

Although there was no coach, the players could call timeouts on their own initiative, and no one called timeouts... There were no fouls, not even free throws. At this pace, the first half could be finished in less than half an hour.

The audience spent a lot of money on tickets.

There's no need to worry about time flying by, because there are many interesting activities scheduled during halftime, such as dunk contests, one-on-one matches, and three-point shooting contests. These activities are not only between players, but also randomly selected lucky audience members to go on stage and interact with the stars.

Ten minutes have passed.

Billups called a timeout...

The intensity of the competition wasn't high, but running back and forth all the time is tiring. Even in an exhibition game, there should be a timeout to let the players catch their breath, right?

Especially that last shot.

Billups' passing route was anticipated by Wei Guo, who intercepted the pass and then launched a fast break layup, but Billups couldn't catch up.

This was originally Wei's showtime.

Free throw line dunk, between-the-legs dunk, windmill dunk, tomahawk dunk... There are so many ways to score, but Wei Guo chose the ugliest one. After dribbling to the basket, he didn't rush to shoot, but instead dribbled between his legs back and forth, bouncing around waiting for Billups to catch up.

After Billups caught up, Weiguo faked a shot and sent Billups flying.

Billups, who was off the court, could no longer stop Wei Guo from scoring. Wei Guo could have simply thrown the ball into the basket, but instead... he passed the ball to Billups off the court.

Billups was completely stunned when he got the basketball, and with a mix of laughter and tears, he threw the ball into Weiguo's arms, saying, "What you did made me lose face."

James laughed so hard he pounded the floor. Wei Ge really knows how to play... He could have scored but didn't, he was just teasing you. If this happened in a real game, even Gentry would be furious, and Billups would be annoyed too... None of the Pistons players have a good temper, and the roaring god Wallace is the king of technical fouls.

The ball is still in the possession of the Red Team.

Kobe ran over to inbound the ball, passed it to Weiguo, and then strolled back to the backcourt.

No one from the Blue Team ran back, leaving only Billups and Weiguo in the frontcourt. This was a one-on-one situation for the two of them... Everyone knew that Billups couldn't possibly stop Weiguo in a one-on-one situation.

Toying with Billups again?

Wei Guo's emotional intelligence isn't that low; he simply took a step back after receiving the ball and then launched a three-point shot.

"bang~~~"

The ball hit the front edge of the rim.

This was intentional on Wei Guo's part, to save face for Billups... This is a charity exhibition match, and everyone is expected not to contribute a single penny to support Wei Guo. Wei Guo knows exactly what to do.

"I request a pause."

Billups grabbed the rebound and raised his hand to call a timeout.

"You were careless..."

McGrady nudged Billups on the shoulder. "You didn't dodge."

Billups said awkwardly, "Hahaha... I never thought Wei Guo was so bad, bringing shame to China. I should have known better than to come."

Wei Guo rarely tries to dribble past opponents during games, except for Alston... When facing the streetball king, Wei Guo did dribble past him more than once. In the last two seasons, Wei Guo's skills have become more and more mature, and he has made fewer and fewer fancy moves. The kind of butterfly-like maneuvering past familiar opponents has only happened once or twice in a game.

It cannot be said that Billups was careless.

When Wei Guo stood under the basket and made a shooting motion, Billups jumping up to block was muscle memory; any player would have done the same.

Duncan comforted him, "Later you're going to mess with Wei Guo, he's so tall... just nutmeg him!"

"ah???"

Billups shook his head vigorously, "I can't do that."

NbA has many memorable moments of playful antics.

For example, McGrady's self-alley-oop dunk, Jordan's incredible layup, Marbury's armpit dribbling, and of course... when it comes to dribbling, we have to mention Carter's legendary dunk. Come to think of it... it seems that all the players who are good at dribbling past their opponents are on the Rockets, and there are almost none on the basketball team. McGrady can barely be considered one.

......

The timeout ended, with exactly 10 minutes remaining in the first half.

Billups' timeout was quite artistic, perfectly dividing the first half into two quarters... The referee was also quite lenient; a timeout is normally only 90 seconds long, but he gave the players a full five minutes of rest.

The audience is even less in a hurry...

It's not easy to see a live star player, and if the security guards don't kick people out, even if it's Kobe or someone like that having a beer, barbecue, and crayfish on the court, people would be happy to watch.

Blue team, attack!

Billups dribbled the ball, and people on the sidelines chanted, "One-on-one! One-on-one! One-on-one!"

This was a one-on-one matchup between Billups and Weiguo, but Billups wasn't intimidated at all. He dribbled the ball and said, "Weiguo, come and guard me!"

This requires...

That's outrageous!

Wei Guo had to comply, forcing Billups to step forward to defend him, while the other players consciously moved aside, leaving space for the two to play one-on-one.

Billups had a sudden lapse of judgment and remembered what Duncan had said: "Wei Guo is tall and has long legs... Go for it! Just nutmeg him! Even if you don't score, Billups has already won big."

The nutmeg dribble is a relatively uncommon technique.

Some streetball players with good dribbling skills can handle this very well, let alone professional players. Billups dribbled close to Wei Guo, and with a quick change of direction, the basketball bounced up... Billups reached out and slapped it, changing the trajectory of the basketball, which was about to pass between Wei Guo's legs.

Who would have thought...

Wei Guo acted even faster!

He lowered his right arm and blocked the basketball, but that wasn't all... The moment he grabbed the basketball, Wei Guo turned around, and the basketball instantly ended up behind Billups. When it bounced up again, Wei Guo was behind Billups once more.

The ball and the player have passed each other!

Wei Guo laughed, "Trying to play this game with me? Don't you know I have a nickname: the Streetball Ancestor?!"

Her smile was sweet, but Billups felt a pang of sadness.

Duncan patted his forehead. "I forgot to tell Billups that Weiguo not only has long legs, but also long arms... It's easy for him to steal the ball if you try to nutmeg someone."

It's a bit addictive!

Billups played very calmly, and the performance atmosphere was so intense that it infected him... which made him impulsively want to mess with Wei Guo.

Failure is not shameful...

If he succeeds, it will be a highlight of Billups' career.

......

The exhibition match ended after 20 minutes of the first half.

83:71!!

The Red Team is leading by 12 points.

The players were very eager to perform, showcasing explosive dunks, fancy dribbling skills, and long-range three-pointers. It was even more exciting than the All-Star Game, and the audience was thrilled.

only...

The first half had just ended when attentive viewers noticed that the score had been reset to zero, from 83:71 to 0:0.

Thinking it was a technical error, and with the audience complaining that it wasn't professional enough, the host explained the reason: the first half was a performance, and the second half was for real, so the score was reset to zero.

The performance was exciting, but it's still not as good as a real fight!

The two teams fought tooth and nail for victory, a scene that could send the adrenaline soaring for all the viewers.

......

The host walked to the center of the court, where ten players sat on the sidelines to rest.

There are still many short programs to come...

These short programs will take about two hours. Many celebrities came to the scene, and the two who attracted the most attention were Wang Yijun and Jay Chou.

Wang Yijun is an actor in his thirties who has won the Best Actor award twice. As his fans know, besides filming, Wang Yijun spends most of his time on the basketball court, which shows his love for basketball. At 1.86 meters tall, fans have always said that he is a basketball player whose talent was wasted on acting. If he didn't act, he might be playing basketball in a professional league.

Jay Chou is a close friend of Wei Guo, and is a triple threat in film, television, and music, especially in music... He is known as the King of Asian Pop.

The first event was a one-on-one match between Wang Yijun and two other players against these ten players, using a 7-point scoring system... whoever gets 7 points first is the winner.

The host said, "Let's give a warm round of applause to invite award-winning actor Wang Yijun to the stage."

Wang Yijun waved and walked to the host's side, took the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am Wang Yijun!"

"Soldier pot~"

"Soldier pot~"

"Soldier pot~"

Judging from these calls, many of them are now fans of Wang Yijun.

The host asked, "Mr. Wang, your basketball career was sidetracked by acting. I also heard... your idol is Allen Iverson?"

"Yes!"

Wang Yijun nodded.

Wei Guo and Iverson exchanged a few words, and Iverson gave Wang Yijun a friendly nod, which made Wang Yijun extremely excited.

The host said, "Tonight, you are given the greatest power. You can choose any one of these ten top players on the sidelines to play a one-on-one match with."

"Very good!"

So what's your choice?

"Could we get a different batch?"

"......"

The host was almost choked by Wang Yijun's dry humor, "It seems that Teacher Wang has a lot of life experience."

Fans familiar with Wang Yijun know that he has this kind of personality... he likes to be funny and loves to joke. As for whether this comes from real-life experience, we don't know... after all, Wang Yijun has acted in many films, and similar scenes have appeared in many other films as well.

Just kidding!

Wang Yijun explained, "I was very nervous about being able to challenge my idol to a one-on-one match."

Wang Yijun's gaze didn't sweep across the ten players, which was very impolite. Moreover... the one-on-one duel with that player was something the host had already discussed with Wang Yijun before he went on stage. Although the players weren't told, they all understood the event's procedures, and Wei Guo had also mentioned that there was such a segment.

The host asked, "Should we calm down first?"

"No..."

Wang Yijun shook his head, "My idol is Allen Iverson, and being able to play against my idol is my biggest basketball dream."

......

"Iverson!"

"Iverson!"

"Iverson!"

...

The audience was chanting for Iverson. Iverson pointed to himself, looked at Wei Guo, and asked, "Is it me?"

"right!"

Wei Guo laughed and said, "Don't give me any face, beat them 7-0!"

"Hahaha..."

Iverson laughed twice, "Great!"
