Stepping onto the court, Iverson generously shook hands and hugged Wang Yijun.
Wang Yijun is taller than Iverson, enjoys playing basketball and working out, and has a muscular physique that few actors can match, while Iverson, playing in the NBA where tall players abound, appears slender.
The two of them standing together create a striking visual impact...
Iverson was a full size bigger than Wang Yijun, and although his muscle definition wasn't very pronounced, it made Wang Yijun look frail in comparison.
......
Wang Yijun served first, intending to use his height advantage to score the first point.
With his back to Iverson, Wang Yijun took the initiative and pushed three times, but Iverson didn't budge. When Wang Yijun tried to turn around, Iverson instantly stole the ball.
"Waaah..."
The audience gasped in amazement.
Is the gap between amateur and professional players really that big?
Fans often say that Wang Yijun is the best basketball player among actors and the best actor among players... but the gap is too big.
Iverson attacks.
First, he used two between-the-legs dribbles to confuse Wang Yijun, then he changed direction in advance to get past Wang Yijun, rushed to the basket, and easily scored with a fancy layup.
Wang Yijun tried to pursue and defend, but he couldn't catch up at all.
After scoring, Iverson asked the announcer, "Should we change the serve?"
"need!"
The host quickly said, "It's time for Teacher Wang Yijun to attack."
If the serve isn't changed, Wang Yijun won't be able to touch the ball... Give Iverson two more offensive opportunities, and he can end the game.
Wang Yijun launched an attack.
This time he was smarter and didn't confront him head-on, since their bodies weren't on the same level.
In a one-on-one situation, you need to wash the ball...
What is "passing the ball"? It means that before you attack, you pass the ball to the defender, and then the defender passes the ball to you, which means you can attack now.
Wang Yijun came up with a good idea: after dribbling the ball, he would take a step back and shoot a three-pointer!
It's not that his three-point shooting is particularly accurate... He and Iverson are not in the same league. Even if Iverson lost a one-on-one match, fans would know that Iverson was throwing the game. In a 7-point game, as long as he can make one three-pointer, Wang Yijun wins regardless of the final result.
But...
Iverson had already seen through Wang Yijun's intentions. As Wang Yijun stepped back, Iverson stepped forward, and before the basketball could even leave his hand, it was shoved away by Iverson.
Iverson's defensive moves were very clean!
The host hesitated for a moment before saying, "This defense is too clean. There's still a gap between Coach Wang and Iverson."
This statement, seemingly belittling Wang Yijun, was actually meant to defuse the situation for him. He is definitely not on par with Iverson... The host directly pointed this out, which actually made Wang Yijun feel less awkward.
Iverson on offense!
He took a three-pointer directly from beyond the arc, his movements were so fast that Wang Yijun had no time to react.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
5-0!!!
Iverson is leading by 5 points.
This is perfectly normal... If Wang Yijun is leading by 5 points, then it must be Iverson throwing the game. Iverson was indeed throwing the game, but he was just throwing it because Wang Yijun and he are not on the same level.
Wang Yijun is attacking!
this time...
Iverson really let him win. Wang Yijun took a risk and shot a three-pointer. Iverson didn't defend him at all, allowing Wang Yijun to shoot easily. Unfortunately, the shot still missed. It seems that Wang Yijun was really nervous.
The outcome was already predetermined.
When it was Iverson's turn to attack, he easily shook off Wang Yijun and scored a layup.
7-0!!!
Iverson wins this one-on-one match!
After the one-on-one match, Iverson gave Wang Yijun a pair of autographed shoes, and Wang Yijun reciprocated with an autographed record, which was also the only record in his life. After the release of this record, fans advised him to focus on making movies and not to think about other things, as singing really wasn't suitable for him.
......
Jay Chou plays basketball in a flashy and handsome way.
Does he have any ball skills?
have!
But not many...
He and Wang Yijun were not on the same level, so no matter who he chose, no one would take him seriously. In fact, Iverson did not seriously defend against Wang Yijun, but the gap in their strength was just too great.
"Jay Chou!"
"Jay Chou!"
"Jay Chou!"
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Jay Chou even sang a rap song... That's the King of Pop for you, he can handle any musical style.
Black people are all somewhat musically gifted, and Jay Chou's rap song won over these players. James and others were eager to try their luck and wanted to have a friendly one-on-one match with Jay Chou.
Wei Guo said, "We're familiar with each other, how about we have a one-on-one duel?"
Jay Chou shook his head repeatedly, "We're so familiar with each other, please give me a chance. Actually, I really want to play one-on-one with Kobe."
This isn't a singing competition, and Jay Chou isn't a director, so we can't keep people in suspense... A friendly exchange, where people who directly express their desire for a one-on-one challenge are the ones with high emotional intelligence.
Kobe stood next to Jay Chou and praised him, saying, "I've heard your songs, your music is fantastic!"
"Thank you for the compliment..."
Jay Chou laughed and said, "I won't hold back when it's a one-on-one fight."
"You absolutely mustn't hold back."
Kobe also laughed.
Let's start our one-on-one duel!
Jay Chou came up and did a boomerang, throwing the ball forward and spinning around in place, the basketball bouncing back into his hands. Very cool.
After receiving the ball, Jay Chou dribbled past Kobe Bryant on his right side!
Kobe didn't provide close defense; he just took a couple of steps up and pretended to defend, allowing Jay Chou to make a low layup.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
"Jay Chou!"
"Jay Chou!"
"Jay Chou!"
The entire stadium erupted in cheers.
"Wow~"
Jay Chou smugly exclaimed, "That was an amazing shot!"
It was Kobe's turn to attack.
Kobe grabbed the ball with one hand and lifted it up, while Jay Chou remained motionless... This wasn't because he was slow to react; Jay Chou is quite clever. Even if he jumped, he couldn't block Kobe, so he simply didn't jump.
Kobe was stunned for a moment... This guy actually wasn't fooled by the fake?
If you don't want to fall for the fake, then so be it. Kobe dribbled past Jay Chou, took two steps to the basket, and gently dunked the ball into the hoop. His movement was remarkably gentle.
2:2!!!
It's Jay Chou's turn to make his move again.
"Let's play with him!"
The voice came from beside James; the speaker was Wei Guo.
Jay Chou nodded at Wei Guo!
He started dribbling in a flashy way, almost tripping himself... Then he tried to nutmeg Kobe, which was a bit like Billups's one-on-one against Wei Guo. The result was the same: Kobe reached out and stole the ball.
Professional players aren't so easily nutmegged.
Although the attempt to trick Kobe failed, the scene was still incredibly entertaining... even the hosts joined in the cheering.
Kobe's second-chance opportunity!
Jay Chou was on close defense and even tried to steal the ball... Kobe took a step back and made a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
5:2!!!
Jay Chou only has one chance to attack. Whether the ball goes in or not, Kobe will end this one-on-one game.
Jay Chou isn't good at shooting...
He still threw a three-pointer over Kobe, and the shot was ridiculous... too high. It might hit the backboard, but it definitely wouldn't bounce into the basket unless someone helped him.
It actually helped him!
Not defending the country...
James stood up and ran towards the basket, leaped high, grabbed the basketball, and delivered a powerful dunk.
5:4!!
Kobe: "You can do that?"
The one who felt most wronged was Wang Yijun... Why didn't anyone help him when he was fighting one-on-one!
It's the last ball.
Kobe easily blew past Jay Chou and put the ball into the basket with a simple layup.
......
They had originally planned to arrange one-on-one matches between the players, but this suggestion was ultimately rejected.
Different locations...
They're all superstars, and it would be embarrassing to lose a one-on-one match here. Losing to Wei Guo wouldn't be a big deal, but no one can beat Wei Guo. It's not like a casual one-on-one match like Wang Yijun and Jay Chou. Knowing you'll lose, there's no point in going for a one-on-one match.
So this segment was changed to a one-on-one challenge with an audience member.
Ten audience members were randomly selected on site... and unexpectedly, a female audience member was chosen.
The players chose their opponents for the one-on-one match. As the host country, Wei Guo naturally let the other players choose first. Perhaps out of shyness, none of them chose the female spectator.
final...
After 9 rounds of one-on-one duels.
Only Wei Guo remained as a player, and only this girl remained as an audience member.
This was Wei Guo's first time playing one-on-one with a girl... He had played ball with Britney at home before, but that wasn't basketball, so Wei Guo was a little at a loss and didn't know how to play.
The host said, "Brother Wei, the best way to respect your opponent is to defend with all your might and attack with all your might."
"Thank you for reminding me."
Wei Guo clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned to the girl and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Anjing (Quiet)."
"Can you play ball?"
"meeting!"
"Then you serve first..."
"good!"
Anjing has a cheerful personality, and you can tell from her confident eyes that she probably has some basketball skills.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The audience joined in the jeering...
The first goal!
Anjing dribbled the ball rather clumsily, took a step back, and pushed forward with both hands. It was a standard female shot, which reminded Weiguo of his former teammate Marion, but Anjing's shooting form was even more aesthetically pleasing than Marion's.
Um...
Not only is his shooting form better, but he's also better looking than Marion.
Athletes have muscle memory; after An Jing made the shot, Wei Guo reached out and grabbed the basketball without even jumping.
This was somewhat insulting, and Wei Guo felt guilty. He handed the ball back to An Jing, saying, "This ball doesn't count. You can try again."
How gentlemanly...
Anjing tried to shoot with the same motion, but Weiguo caught her again.
"Scumbag!"
Someone shouted something, and the audience all started to cheer.
"Scumbag!"
"Scumbag!"
"Scumbag!"
The host was both amused and exasperated. "Brother Wei, you've gone too far! One block wasn't enough, you wanted to block it again?"
Wei Guo gave an awkward smile and tentatively asked, "Do you want to attack again? I promise I won't block you!"
Really?
Anjing didn't believe Weiguo's nonsense.
Wei Guo nodded, "Really!"
"Hmph~"
Anjing pouted, "I'll trust you one more time."
Quietly, they attack again!
Wei Guo said he wouldn't block her anymore, and An Jing believed him... So this time she didn't shoot, but instead dribbled to the basket. The closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage... If Wei Guo didn't block her, the probability of him putting the ball in the basket was very high.
Anjing dribbled past Weiguo without him following. She raised her hand to throw the ball into the basket.
But...
Where's the ball?
She had the ball in her hand while dribbling, but how did it disappear when she got to the basket?
Quietly lowering her head to look for the ball...
"Hahaha..."
The audience burst into laughter.
After searching around, Anjing awkwardly turned to look at Weiguo and found the basketball spinning in circles on Weiguo's fingertips.
Anjing asked, "Where did you get this ball?"
Wei Guo shrugged. "The ball ended up in my hands without me even noticing."
The audience witnessed everything that happened. After Anjing passed by Weiguo, Weiguo reached out and took the basketball. Anjing, who was focused on the layup, didn't even notice when the basketball was gone.
It was finally time for Weiguo to launch an attack.
Wei Guo faked a breakthrough from the right side, dribbled behind his back, pulled back, and took a three-point shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
The one-on-one match ended there. What happened next was simple: Wei Guo stepped aside, giving An Jing two opportunities to make layups. She scored one and conceded one. Wei Guo then made two three-pointers, ending the one-on-one match.
......
A simple interaction earned Wei Guo the infamous reputation of being a scumbag on the football field.
......
After the interaction, the players all sat back down on the sidelines.
The rest of the time was for audience members to perform, with many fun games, such as a super long-range three-point challenge and a dunk challenge. Audience members who could make a shot from a designated spot could win a substantial prize. Audience members who could dunk could also go on stage to perform, and they would receive a prize for every successful dunk.
In the era of social media, everyone in the comments section is a master slammer.
In fact...
Very few people can actually dunk, and among the more than 20,000 spectators present, there were quite a few, but those who were reluctant to dunk were too embarrassed to go on stage, so in the end only five spectators successfully dunked.
In the final ten minutes or so, the players' attention had already shifted away from these fun games.
The five players on the blue team huddled together to discuss their tactics for the second half, and the five players on the red team also huddled together to discuss their tactics for the second half.
......
The second half is finally about to begin.
Blue Team:
Position 1: Billups
Position 2: Arenas
Position 3: Tracy McGrady
Position 4: Garnett
Position 5: Duncan
This lineup is very well-balanced. With Duncan's ability, he can definitely play center, and... the Rockets' center position will definitely be Wei Guo. Duncan has more experience defending Wei Guo than Garnett.
Red Team:
Point Guard: Allen Iverson
Position 2: Kobe
Position 3: Carter
Power Forward: James
Position 5: Wei Guo
This lineup is relatively unreasonable. Every player has to make sacrifices. It's a configuration where 1+1+1+1+1 is less than 5. Iverson plays the shooting guard position, but now he needs to return to the point guard position. Kobe and Carter both play the shooting guard position, but they are both swingmen who can play both the shooting guard and small forward positions.
As for James...
His position on the court is small forward (position 3), but now he needs to play power forward (position 4).
Wei Guo doesn't care. He can play from point guard to center, and he's a top player in every position. In today's game, it's most reasonable for Wei Guo to play center.
