Bonus 1 million US dollars! All-Star 1v1 single-match! Durant and Irving sign up

On the morning of September 11, former NBA star and current NBC commentator McGrady said on Arenas' podcast program: "I have talked to NBC Sports about these things. I'm sorry NBC. I don't know if it should be said that they will hold a 1V1 game on the All-Star Weekend." The highly anticipated star fight has finally come! Coincidentally, on August 28 this year, Durant revealed on the show that he was willing to participate in the 1v1 single-match competition with a million-dollar prize of the All-Stars. On September 4, NBA reporter Shams reported that the All-Star Game was participated by two American teams and one world team, with 8 players on each team. But he did not mention the 1v1 singles match.

Since McGrady and Durant both said this, the one-on-one match is by no means groundless. The leader speculated that this game may be scheduled for the first day of the All-Star Weekend. Because the first day was the Celebrity Game and the Rookie Game, the ratings were too low and I needed to lead the one-on-one game. The second day was the three-point contest and the dunk contest, and the third day was the All-Star Game.

As early as February 18 this year, media Front Office Sports took the lead in revealing that the NBA was considering adding 1v1 singles matches to the All-Star Weekend, which instantly sparked heated discussion. Irving publicly stated in an interview: "I am willing to participate in the one-on-one match. I am the flame of the 1v1 single match." Irving is still recovering from his injuries and is expected to make a comeback in January next year.

Antesco also said that he was happy to participate in the one-on-one competition. Durant responded: "I have played 1-on-1 with Tatum and Irving. They shot very accurately, and SGA is also a difficult opponent. As for Antetokounmpo, I don't know how to play 1v1 with him. He will crush you with his body." Durant was modest, his jump shot was the big killer!

NBA's single-match competition is not innovative, and Unrivaled in the women's basketball league also has this stage, with the championship prize of the single-match competition of $200,000. You know, the maximum salary of the WNBA is only $250,000. In the past, the CBA All-Stars wanted to have a 1v1 single-match to let fans vote for the showdown they wanted to watch, but big-name stars were unwilling to participate and ended up leaving it alone.

The last question: Who do you think can threaten Durant in a one-on-one match?
