Bronny is back on the court to fight for James next record

Ever since his eldest son played, James has declared that one of the last goals of his career is to play for the same team as his son.

James even claimed that the team that selected Bronny would get 100% of himself. Selecting Bronny for a moment is selecting James as the default rule for NBA teams.

But Bronny's sudden cardiac arrest accident nearly ended James' dream. Fortunately, on November 30, doctors approved Brownie's return to the basketball court. After receiving permission from USC medical staff, he returned to the court for full training. In Sunday's pregame warm-up, Bronny unleashed a windmill dunk.

Two hours before Bronny's appearance on Sunday, USC students lined up around the stadium. McDonald's All-American Guard Bronny James made his college debut in an overtime loss to Long Beach State University, with his father, NBA superstar LeBron James, sitting on the sidelines. The cheers of the crowd grew louder every time he defended the point guard at Long Beach State, and the crowd held his breath when the 19-year-old took his first shot in Game 1 after cardiac arrest in July.

Bronny didn't score in the first half, but he still found a way to create a highlight with a chase block that was strangely reminiscent of his father. At that moment, everyone fell into madness. It wasn't long before he delivered a fine assist at the other end of the pitch.

James, who was expected to be limited in playing time, came off the bench for 16 minutes in this game and came on at the start of extra time. He threw the first transition three-pointer of his college career in the second half, but USC's 15-point halftime lead creeped up in the final 20 minutes.

James made a crucial steal in the final minute, but he hit just one of his two attempts at the free-throw line to close the deficit to two points at 74-72. Long Beach State leveled the score shortly after and sent the game into overtime, with USC losing 84-79. Bronny finished with four points, three rebounds and two assists on 1-of-3 shooting.

Bronny's USC had an extremely poor performance on Sunday, missing 16 free throws, committing 19 turnovers and shooting just 22 from three-point range6%。

I just want to say I'm thankful for everything," Bronny said after the game. "Mayo Clinic, thank you for everything they helped me. My parents, siblings and siblings supported me through this difficult time in my life. I just want to thank the people who helped me through it all. And my coach, my teammates, and the other coaches who have been with me since the beginning. ”

USC coach Andy Enfield said he thinks Bronny is "playing well," adding: "He's very good defensively. He was revived. He's got two steals, two assists, and made a three-pointer, so I think he's very consistent. ”

LeBron said the moment Bronny competes will be a big deal for their family. 'Obviously it's going to be a big moment for him. But once he decides he wants to talk about it, he can talk about it," LeBron said. "But it's certainly an important milestone for our family and another step in his basketball career. ”
