Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

With a bang, another explosive dunk came from Anthony Davis.

Embiid was standing nearby, but he didn't come over to help defend. After all, this was an All-Star Game with a performance nature.

Anthony Davis is already taking off, so just let him dunk.

The ball changed and the Eastern team attacked.

James advanced with the ball in the backcourt, and after coming to the frontcourt, he chose to shoot a three-pointer, but he missed. However, Embiid grabbed the rebound, pushed Towns with his butt, then jumped up and dunked towards Towns.

For a moment, the audience was boiling again.

"Holy shit. Another dunk."

"I felt like I was watching a dunk contest, but it was really exciting."

"One more..."

"Downs, Downs..."

In the audience, fans shouted excitedly, clamoring for Towns to dunk as well.

Zhuang Yu looked at Tang Si and asked with a smile: "Do you want to return the last one?"

Tang Si nodded: "Okay."

When he got to the front court, Zhuang Yu gestured to Towns, Towns came up to screen, and Zhuang Yu moved to the left...

This was a bit surprising to people. In this kind of game, Zhuang Yu actually used tactics with Towns, which was quite rare.

With the help of this pick-and-roll, Zhuang Yu moved to the left, then accelerated to break through, attracting the defense, and then made a ground pass without looking at anyone. The basketball bounced from Embiid's feet and fell into the hands of Towns who was cutting into the basket after the pick-and-roll.

Towns jumped up with the basketball, roared and dunked with one hand, which could be regarded as an answer ball.

Now the fans are even more excited.

I just said this game was so exciting.

Two rounds, four attacks, all dunks. Don't worry about whether the defense is lax or not. Wouldn't it be just as exciting to watch it as a dunk contest?

......

On the court, Embiid was a little unhappy after being dunked by Towns. After coming to the frontcourt, he took the initiative to ask for a one-on-one with Towns, but this time he did not have the chance to dunk. He chose to face Towns with a step-back jump shot with a little fade away.

Swish!

With a slight sound, the ball also hit the target.

In fact, Towns didn't defend very seriously. When he saw Embiid's jump shot, he just raised his hand symbolically and didn't rush forward at all.

However, after making the shot, Embiid even curled his lips provocatively at Towns, which made Towns unhappy too.

When they arrived at the frontcourt, Towns took up position in the low post and raised one hand to ask Zhuang Yu for the ball. Zhuang Yu didn't care, passed the ball to him, and waved to everyone else to move away.

Neither side had any players coming over, so they just watched the two play one-on-one.

"Wow, are these two guys fighting?"

"Haha, that's it. Come on, Towns, beat Embiid."

"Embid should be tougher, give him a block..."

The fans like to watch this kind of thing. Based on the principle of watching the fun, no matter how big the event, they start to cheer loudly towards the field.

Listening to the booing from the audience, Embiid and Towns, who were already a little unhappy, got a little carried away and actually started to take it seriously.

Embiid was seen sticking to Towns, while Towns slapped the ball on the floor and started to play one-on-one with his back to the basket. The two of them started a physical confrontation in the low post, turning the exhibition game into a regular season.

The two players are of similar size, and neither of them had an advantage in the confrontation. After pushing back two steps, Towns felt a little tired, and immediately turned around and half, from facing the basket with his back to the basket, and then made a jump shot facing Embiid.

Swish!

Also enter.

These two people are also interesting.

Although they are both centers, neither of them plays tough styles. What's more interesting is that both of them are centers who can break through with the ball and shoot from the outside. If you dunk on me, I will dunk on you. If you shoot at me, I will shoot at you back.

But after a few interactions, the two of them became more and more competitive.

The next two rounds were singles between the two players.

No one cared. It was just an exhibition match, so let's just see who the winner is.

As a result, neither of them was able to score in these two rounds, which was really surprising. What happened?

"Okay, stop competing with Embiid." Zhuang Yu patted Towns.

Tang Si was a little unwilling, but he still nodded and agreed: "Okay."

After that, Towns took the initiative to give up the one-on-one match with Embiid, and passed the ball to his teammates after getting the ball.

Seeing him like this, Embiid secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the previous two rounds, neither he nor Towns were able to score, mainly because both of them were serious.

If both sides are serious and their styles are somewhat similar, the result will be that either both of them score or neither of them scores.

Since we can't get in, there's no point in continuing.

......

Minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The defense in the All-Star Game is loose and there are basically no fouls, so it gives people a feeling that time passes very quickly.

Of course, the scores rose quickly.

After just a few minutes of play, the score had become 21:19, with the Eastern team leading by two points.

The Eastern Conference team played well on offense in these few minutes, especially Antetokounmpo.

Embiid only scored two goals at the beginning, and basically missed all the shots afterwards. Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, played with great passion and explosive physical fitness. With James feeding him the ball, he performed dunks one after another and scored 8 points alone.

James made a three-pointer, Doncic and Walker each scored a goal, and all five starters scored.

In addition to Zhuang Yu, on the Western team, Davis, Towns, Leonard and Trae Young all scored. Towns scored 4 points, Davis scored 6 points, Leonard hit two three-pointers to get 6 points, and Trae Young also made a three-pointer.

The reason why only Zhuang Yu did not score was because Zhuang Yu did not take a shot at all, not even a single shot, but he had already made 5 assists.

At this time, the Western team began to replace players.

The head coaches of the East and West teams this time are still the head coaches of the teams currently ranked first in the East and West. On the West side, it is Byron Scott, and on the East side, it is Mike Budenholzer.

Coach Scott replaced Trae Young, Towns, and Leonard with Westbrook, Jokic, and George. The lineup on the field became Zhuang Yu, Westbrook, George, Davis, and Jokic.

On the other side, the Eastern team also began to make substitutions, replacing Doncic, Walker, and Embiid with Irving, Harden, and Middleton. The lineup on the field became Irving, Harden, Middleton, James, and Antetokounmpo.

This is a regular rotation.

As usual, all players from both teams will come on the court in the first quarter. No matter how much time they play, they will always have to show their faces.

"Hey, Westbrook and George are both on."

"I heard that they have a very good relationship with Zhuang Yu and they even trained together in the summer. This is a good combination of brothers."

"Zhuang Yu didn't take a single shot in the past few minutes. It seems that he has no interest in the MVP today."

"After all, Zhuang Yu has already won the MVP."

"Irving is also on the court. I didn't expect that he and James could become teammates. I really miss the Cavaliers back then."

"Harden is on the court too. Zhuang Yu and Antetokounmpo's selection of players this time is really interesting. They separated the teammates, put James and Davis in two teams, and made Harden and Westbrook opponents. Haha..."

The game continued amid the fans' discussions.

......

The Lakers had the ball, and Zhuang Yu was still responsible for advancing the game. After reaching the frontcourt, he winked at Westbrook.

Westbrook understood what he meant and ran in an alternating pattern with Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu passed the ball to Westbrook and set a screen for him. Westbrook took the opportunity to break free and then ran straight to the basket, taking two steps forward and suddenly jumped into the air.

"Oh..."

There was an exclamation from the audience.

Westbrook was seen holding the basketball, gliding in the air, and flying towards the basket. James was standing under the basket, but he did not choose to block him, but stepped aside.

The next moment, Westbrook slammed the ball into the basket.

Another explosive dunk!

The score became 21:21.

Turning around, the Eastern troops attacked.

Harden became the person responsible for holding the ball and advancing the ball. After he came to the frontcourt, he first glanced at the situation on the court. Seeing that the person facing him was not Zhuang Yu, but Westbrook, he did not hesitate to dribble between his legs as if to break through, and then took a step back and retreated to the three-point line to shoot directly.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"nice shot."

"Harden is still amazing."

The fans cheered.

In fact, Westbrook had already pounced on the ball.

Although it was the All-Star Game and although he and Harden were teammates, he was not completely defenseless.

But Harden's step-back three-pointer does have something to it.

......

A few more rounds passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, more than 1 minutes had passed in the first quarter, and the score became 8:31, with the Eastern team still leading.

On the court, Zhuang Yu ran back and received the ball outside the left three-point line. After the ball was in his hands, he made a fake shot to attract the defense to rush over, and then made a sideways pass to George.

George took the ball and shot a three-pointer, but missed.

"pity."

"Zhuang Yu should have shot this ball himself."

"Yeah, it's been 8 minutes, and Zhuang Yu hasn't taken a single shot. It seems like he really doesn't want to score today..."

The fans are somewhat resentful.

Zhuang Yu has averaged nearly 34 points per game this season, so his scoring ability is unquestionable. However, he just didn't shoot today, which disappointed the fans who wanted to see him score like crazy in the All-Star Game.

Of course, although Zhuang Yu did not score, his role cannot be ignored. So far, he has made 6 assists, rebounds, and a steal.

The Eastern team grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

After coming to the frontcourt, Harden stopped outside the three-point line, but his eyes did not look at Westbrook who was facing him, but instead stared at Zhuang Yu.

"Humph, why are you pretending? You haven't voted once. Let's see how long you can keep pretending."

Harden was secretly unhappy. Whenever he met Zhuang Yu on the court, he wanted to compete with Zhuang Yu. However, today Zhuang Yu just didn't shoot, making Harden feel like he threw a punch with all his strength but hit cotton. His opponent didn't respond at all, which made him feel a little depressed.

Immediately, he gestured to Owen.

Seeing his gesture, Owen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhuang Yu who was facing him, and then smiled.

Irving and Harden moved across the court, setting a screen for Harden, who took the opportunity to get rid of Westbrook and faced off against Zhuang Yu...
