The players on the same team as Woody are:
His "old acquaintance" Kendrick Perkins. Not long ago, Perkins, who also graduated from high school, announced that he would also skip the NCAA as a high school student and enter the competition for the 2003 draft.
It's just that his name is not that big, so he didn't cause much commotion;
In addition, this year's "North Carolina Mr. Basketball" is Chris Paul, who just joined Wake Forest University, and Chris Humphries, the "genius inside man" from Minnesota State Champion Pugin High School.
The last person is Trevor Ariza, who is studying at Westchester High School. He is not that high in the ranking of "the strongest high school students in the United States", but with his explosive 21 points per game in his final year of high school , 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals, and successfully received an invitation to the McDonald's All-Star Game.
Woody's side is full of talents, and the lineup opposite LeBron James is equally luxurious.
Inside are "Mississippi Mr. Basketball" Al Jefferson and "New Jersey High School Athlete of the Year" Charlie Villanueva. After the latter finished his last season in high school, he immediately announced that he would take his talents to the NBA. However, before participating in the McDonald's All-Star Weekend, he changed his mind, withdrew the application materials he submitted, and turned around to join. University of Connecticut.
It doesn't matter if he is strong inside, he also has Luol Deng, a top high school student, on the wing.
In the list of the "strongest high school students" in the United States, LeBron James ranks first, and Woody comes from behind, showing the talent and momentum that threatens LeBron James, ranking third...
This is this super freshman who was selected into the "All-American High School Team" by Parade Magazine and "America Today"!
This group made the Goodman brothers on the sidelines smile.
The McDonald's uniform team is still sensible!
Since the end of the Ohio State finals, the Goodman brothers have deliberately avoided sharing the same screen with LeBron and Woody. Several authoritative media have previously invited the two of them to share the stage, but the Goodman brothers refused without hesitation.
Especially after "Magic" Johnson became Woody's agent, this kind of invitation to the same show was hung up as soon as it was mentioned, without giving any face to the media at all.
Just kidding, can they still give Johnson a chance to win the state finals FMVP?
This is why the McDonald's High School All-Star Weekend has so much influence in the industry. For high school students, the greatest honor is to show themselves on this stage, and there is no way to avoid it.
So before coming here, they specially told LeBron James that they must surpass Woody in performance!
They have prepared a large number of announcements, which will be used to harass Woody...
And the current situation is an excellent situation that even the Goodman brothers had never imagined.
We are each other's rivals, and LeBron James' teammates look much better than their opponents. As long as they win...
"Woody will be a loser if he leaves LeBron!" 》
"This game proves LeBron's sacrifice!" 》
"Woody should really thank LeBron, otherwise he wouldn't be as famous as he is now!" 》
…
In just that moment, Goodman already had seven or eight news headlines that suppressed Woody. Thinking of the changes in public opinion at that time, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Another Goodman next to him looked at him, slightly dazed:
This is……
opened?
He knew that his bro had been having a heated fight with LeBron's mother recently and often played some perverted games.
but……
Isn't it?
S becomes M?
LeBron showed his mature side on the court, greeting everyone cordially, and finally gave Woody a big hug. Looking at his behavior, the Goodman brothers nodded unconsciously. They wanted to see LeBron James show such an appearance.
"Come on for the game later. I've been looking forward to our first meeting. Let's contribute a wonderful game together!"
Woody looked at LeBron's confident look and nodded slightly. He didn't say anything, but he unconsciously muttered in his heart:
This is what you said. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Don’t blame me for being cruel later~
During the warm-up time for both parties, Woody pulled Perkins and the unfamiliar Chris Humphries aside and talked to the two of them like this and this. Hearing the two of them unconsciously nod.
Finally, Woody patted the two of them on the shoulders again: "You two, this is a good opportunity to prevent LeBron James from dying. There are so many cameras facing him! Today is the day to become famous!"
A burst of encouragement made Perkins and Humphries even more excited.
Such an opportunity is indeed rare!
The referee's whistle blows and the game officially begins.
LeBron James looked at the excited eyes of the two insiders on the opposite side and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that those two people seemed...very interested in him?
"beep!"
The sound of the whistle broke his thoughts, and he immediately concentrated on the game.
As Chris Humphries touched the ball first, the right to attack was taken by Woody's side.
Chris Paul held the ball through half court.
This is a guy who is less than 180cm tall according to visual inspection, but when he held the ball past half-court, the breakthrough ability he showed caused exclamations from the sidelines.
The speed was so fast that the player opposite him was wiped out in one step.
Villanueva intercepted a layup. He seemed to have expected it. He got close to the latter and passed a ground-breaking pass to Perkins inside.
Perkins took an open shot and Al Jefferson interfered.
The ball bounced out of the frame with a "bang" sound.
The moment the ball flew out of the basket, Al Jefferson at 2.11 meters, Chris Humphries at 2.08 meters, Villanueva at 2.07 meters and Chris Parkin at 2.08 meters Si scrambled into a group.
With his more solid chassis, Jefferson got into the best position. When he jumped up, he was also the one closest to the basketball.
However, just when the ball was about to touch the basketball, a figure suddenly appeared from beside him and snatched the ball away like "holding the moon with one hand".
There was a louder exclamation at the scene...
The man who fought his way out of the "four beasts" of the inside line was none other than Woody.
The moment he landed, Woody's feet were as if they were equipped with springs. He jumped up high without any need to accumulate force, and was ready to send the ball toward the basket.
LeBron James rushed over and reached out to block the ball.
Goodman on the sidelines was ready to applaud.
Woody was flying in the air, but he changed the angle calmly. His wingspan longer than LeBron's allowed him to easily avoid LeBron's big hand.
There were two soft "boom" sounds, and the ball bounced twice on the basket and fell into the basket.
