Drew League, a professional amateur mixed event that has been in Los Angeles for decades. It was first established, even in 1973.

The purpose of people creating this event at that time was to hope that Los Angeles children could stay away from qualities and crimes and devote themselves to basketball games so that those troubled young people could be released from stress.

Although this can be regarded as a tournament with some historical heritage, the name of the Drew League has not been well-known to fans in recent years.

Millions of people know about the Drew League now, and many people from all over the world hope to see a unique and intense basketball game here, for which they can be said to have come here from thousands of miles away.

The reason why the Drew League is so popular now is very simple - here, you may meet the NBA star you have admired for a long time.

In the summer of 2011, the NBA was suspended and most of the stars were in the embarrassment of no ball to play. At that time, the bored Kevin Durant targeted the Drew League in order to find a place to play.

After Durant said on Twitter that he wanted to participate in the Drew League, LeBron James also contacted the person in charge of the Drew League. Subsequently, the three conveniences led to a wonderful battle between James and Durant.

That was also the first time in the Drews League, where two NBA superstars were fighting fiercely against each other.

Then, the video of James and Durant making a big splash in the Drew League spread throughout the Internet and became popular all over the United States!

This scene led to Kobe coming to the goal a few weeks later, and he joined the Drew League All-Star team and competed with the Goodman League team in Washington, D.C. in an All-Star match.

In the end, the lineup of this game was similar to that of the NBA's All-Star lineup. In addition to Kobe, the rising stars Harden and DeRozan were also participating in the game, and they were surrounded by NBA stars such as Jennings, Nick Young and Ariza.

In 2011, a lot of stars came here, and since then, the NBA has never cut off its relationship with the Drew League.

After that, every summer, NBA superstars always appear in the Drew League. Whether it is the newly selected rookie or the long-standing superstar, they all appear in the Drew League.

This summer is no exception. At the Drew Talent High School Stadium, fans have met Harden, DeRozan, Lillard and others, and they all performed wonderfully in this venue.

But everyone knows that this is far from the end. In the subsequent games, more and more big-name NBA stars will participate.

So in mid-July, the Drew League finally welcomed a truly superstar player - Kevin Durant!

"Kevin is really in Los Angeles, which surprised me." Link sat in the car, looked at the match chart of today's game, and licked his lips excitedly.

On that, there is Kevin Durant’s name!

At this time, Kobe was driving to Drew Talent High School with Link, Butler and George to watch today's Drew League game.

Before Link and his team officially participated in the Drew League, Kobe wanted to take them to experience the atmosphere of the Drew League first.

Because Kobe wanted to tell those three guys, "The Drew League is not as simple as you think."

However, Link didn't care much about this. Last summer, he also played games at Rock Park in New York. Although Rock Park is very famous, Link felt that the players there were just that.

After all, they are all amateur players, how powerful can they be?

Therefore, Link believes that the level of Drew League should be similar to that of Rock Park.

After a while, Link and his group arrived at the basketball arena at Drew Talent High School, which can accommodate 1,400 spectators.

Although it is just a small high school stadium, the outside of the stadium is full of fans and reporters! This situation is no worse than the NBA game!

After getting off the car, Link was naturally frantically sought after by fans and reporters. Although they were just watching the game today, such a big-name lineup was enough to make the fans on the scene climax together.

As soon as he stepped into the Drew League competition venue, Link saw a big and striking saying, "No excuses, only efforts should be made."

"See it? This is the attitude of the Drew League." Kobe patted Link on the shoulder and sat in the first row.

After Link sat on the sidelines, he found that Drew's league was small, but he had all the internal organs.

In addition to them, there are many social celebrities, entertainment stars and basketball stars in the audience. Link counts at least 20! The audience here is as bright as Staples.

The scene is like NBA, with a DJ that regulates the atmosphere, and there are also many entertainment activities and performances on the field, such as T-shirt transmitters and cheerleaders.

Camera was set up in every corner of the field, and the reporters were busy as if they were broadcasting NBA games.

There is even a commentary stand next to Link’s seat!

These configurations are completely unavailable to Rock Park! Unlike other amateur leagues, in Link's opinion, this is simply a simplified version of NBA!

Link was soon attracted by the atmosphere here. When the game started and Kevin Durant entered the court, Link realized that it was not only the atmosphere here, but also the game was very NBA!

Before the game started, no one regarded Durant as a star. After the game started, people's defense against Durant was very tight, just like Durant was just a slightly tall basketball enthusiast.

They did not hesitate to foul Durant, steal or even double-team, and did not allow Durant to hit three-pointers as unscrupulously as he had at Rock Park last year.

After five minutes of the first quarter, a small guard who was estimated to be less than 1.9 meters tall made a jump shot from Durant for the second time!

The players in the court were cheering for the little defender, and even Durant had no privileges here.

"Who is that guy? He can actually score consecutive goals in front of Durant!?" Link was a little surprised. He didn't believe that Durant was deliberately letting go. So he curiously asked Kobe beside him.

"He Robert Shansen, last season's MVP! To be precise, he was the winner of the MVP for three consecutive times. He is definitely the best player in the Drew League, no one. Although he is only 1.88 meters tall, he is very, very excellent!"

"Just kidding!" Link couldn't believe that Kobe would use the word "very, very good" to an amateur player in the Drew League.

"Haha, you may not believe it. Nate Robinson, Gilbert Arenas, Ci Shiping and others have all been beaten by Shansen without exception. If you think I'm bragging, you can search the video of their blowout online. By the way, when Heat defender Norris Cole was first selected in 2011, he also participated in the Drew League and directly competed with Shansen. What do you think?"

"Cole was forced into a very embarrassing situation?" Link was already courageous to guess.

"It's not just a mess, but a blow-up! You know, Kerr is the first round pick of the NBA, but this did not delay Shan Sen scoring 44 points on his head! 44 points, such a score is enough to make a person lose face."

After hearing Kobe's words, Link couldn't help but look at the slogans in the arena again - no excuses, he could only give.

He is now beginning to believe Kobe, the Drew League is not as simple as he imagined. This place is indeed different from those in Rock Park.

The game was very fierce in the end. Although Durant still won with a crushing advantage, Shanmori's 24-point performance was also very outstanding. If Shanmori was given an NBA star and played with Durant seriously, Durant might not be able to win.

After watching the entire game, Link immediately realized the charm of the Drew League.

This is a very "pure" basketball league, everyone is equal on the basketball court. Whether you are a streetball player or an NBA star, it is no different here.

This is a positive basketball cultural exchange place where the purest basketball is performed.

This is not about identity and fame, but about speaking by strength!

After the game, Drew League, like the NBA, will have a post-match interview session. The reporters will take photographers to ask questions to players who have just finished the game in the interview area.

Kevin Durant had already seen Link in the audience during the game, so when he was interviewed by reporters, Durant took the initiative to grab the microphone and shouted in front of all the fans of the audience.

"Link, I know you're here! If you're not scared yet, come and fight. Last summer, it's time to end the grudges at Rock Park here!"

All the fans made a fuss, while Durant stared at Link with a confident look on his face.

Durant fought alone in Rock Park last summer. But this year, he has found many helpers and will definitely avenge his past shame.

Link did not respond to Durant, but turned his head to look at Butler beside him, "Now, it's time to test your training results."
Chapter completed!
