Anthony looked quite awkward after Hansen's defense, but the referee whistled at that moment, signaling a defensive foul by Hansen.
It was the whistle saving face for Anthony.
Two people rushed over to help Anthony up, one was his teammate Duncan, and the other was his friend James.
After pulling Anthony up, James even slapped Anthony's butt while laughing.
Why did you have to mess with Hansen?
Remember, he was the guy who had the guts to block his shot on the first day of the training camp.
But seeing Anthony experiencing the same treatment, he felt somewhat relieved.
Anthony went to the free-throw line and made both shots, bringing the score to 8-0.
Although the outcome of the All-Star Game was not crucial, such a start was a bit embarrassing for The East.
James did not continue to handle the ball, and finally, it got to Wade.
Wade aggressively broke past Nash, who clearly couldn't hold him, forcing The West's defense to collapse inside.
