Chapter 109: Skill Challenge (Part II)

(PS: I wish you all a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!)

Before the ball went in, Shangguan Yu had already stood up and shouted in unison with Olynyk.

“Good-ball!”

Now the word good ball has been widely circulated in the Celtics team, because when Shangguan Yu waved the towel, he would only shout this word.

No, theoretically, there are two, and there is one that everyone is equally familiar with.

“NICE!”

Seeing Thomas hit a three-pointer, Shangguan Yu shouted out again and waited on the sidelines for Thomas to come over and high-five in celebration.

"Roar, Isaiah, well done, try to carry a trophy back!"

Thomas showed his big white teeth: "This is no problem, I will try!"

After the little man show, the big man competition did not start immediately, but a street dance vaudeville show from the grizzly bear. All kinds of difficult backflips, one-handed continuous backflips, stripping backflips, hands-free backflips, backflips over three people, etc.

It was dazzling to see and pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Today is the coldest day in Toronto, and when Shangguan Yu came over, he was wearing a thick down jacket.

But the stadium looked air-conditioned, and the atmosphere was quite hot. The hip-hop dance performance was an appetizer, and with the appearance of the big guys, the scene was once again in a commotion. After all, there were very few big men who would show up in such a game before, and now they are looking forward to what kind of performance they will have.

It was Draymond Green and Anthony Towns who started first, and before the game even started, Green rushed out first, a little bit of a rush. But his fundamentals are still very solid, and the triple-double king is not in vain, after dribbling over obstacles, he hits the ball on the first pass.

By the time he completed the quick layup, he was ahead of Towns, almost a half-court, but he missed the first three-point shot.

After Downs followed, his first three-point shot also missed.

The pair made their second three-point shot, and Green was ready to turn around to celebrate, but the shot was still wide.

And Downs's three-pointer hit a solid three-pointer, won the game, and luckily advanced to the next round.

The next matchup is between cousin Cousins and thick-eyebrow brother Anthony Davis, and when the two of them played, their faces were a little solemn and they looked a little nervous.

My cousin is more like I'm here to be funny, the ball just dribbles twice, and then it goes straight out of the sideline.

However, his opponent, Anthony Davis, did not take advantage of the opportunity and made a third pass.

It was only a little faster than his cousin Cousins, completing a quick layup, but Anthony Davis's three-point shooting was too low, and he missed all three shots.

Cousin Cousins seized the opportunity and hit the second shot, but he successfully reversed and successfully advanced to the next round.

Cousins, who was on the field, was all happy, with a smile on his face.

Such table rules, if reasonable, are not very technical.

A player who can dribble the ball and is accurate to three points, with a little luck, is estimated to be easy to win the championship.

After the big man competed, a group of Brooklyn kids came up to perform a dance.

Regardless of whether the performance is good or not, for children, more applause should be given.

After a short break, the Skills Challenge resumed, and Olynyk shouted at Thomas, "Isaiah, him!"

People are standing aside, and even if you have such an idea, you don't want to say it.

CJ McCollum's face was obviously a little unsightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Olynyk was somewhat hostile.

But Olynyk didn't care, making Thomas a little embarrassed to follow Shangguan Yu, and when the two stood on the field, Olynyk whispered to Shangguan Yu on the side: "I did it on purpose just now, you can take a look later, it must be Isaiah to win!"

I don't know if Olynyk is telling the truth, but CJ McCollum only had to slow down his pace after he took two steps before the ball hit the obstacle in front of him.

Thomas, on the other hand, had a smooth ride, and CJ McCollum was perhaps too eager to win, appearing a little anxious, with three unsuccessful passes.

His quick layup, Thomas's three-point shot, has been finalized, and he took the lead in the finals.

This time Thomas won cleanly, but as Olynyk said, he blew CJ McCollum out.

Everyone felt that Thomas had the chance to win, and Shangguan Yu was the same, and his mood became much happier, and from time to time he would have a couple of words with Ajiali Ranadave.

At the beginning, Shangguan Yu didn't want to talk to her, but seeing that she was not full of spring, he didn't reject her so much.

Next up is the big final, cousin Cousins against Downs, today Downs felt just as good, dribbling speed is not slow, hitting the first pass.

After throwing the ball out, four or five big strides, straight to the basket, and when he completed a quick layup, my cousin was just starting.

Take the ball from outside the three-point line and hit it on the first shot, completely killing the suspense of the game.

The final will be between Thomas and Downs, and it looks like Thomas has a better chance of winning, but it still depends on how well he performs on the court.

At the beginning of the dribble, Thomas was far ahead, but when passing, both of them hit with one hit.

At this time, Downs suddenly overtook and took the lead in opening the next link of a quick layup, Thomas caught up, and the two completed layups almost at the same time. After getting the ball, Thomas was blocked by Downs, a little slower, so Downs took the lead from outside the three-point line, but the first shot was not.

Thomas followed suit, but it didn't work.

The players and fans at the scene began to sit still, because it was unknown who would die in the game.

In the second goal, Towns took the lead and Thomas was a little humble, or he was confident enough in his three-pointer.

Downs' goal was still short, and now the balance of victory began to tilt in Thomas's side.

It's just that this time he shot, it was also short!

That goal just now was a bit big, and he adjusted a little too much of this goal, and once again missed the opportunity to win the championship.

Now it's a test for both sides, after all, the championship is close at hand and both sides are a little nervous.

Downs saw that Thomas didn't score, and grabbed the ball from the car again, which was his third shot. Learning from the lessons of the first two times, Downs also took a slight aim before making a move.

Perhaps in a bit of a hurry, Thomas also quickly picked up the ball and wanted to take the first shot.

But Downs was quick to shoot the ball first, and Thomas followed closely behind and threw the ball out of his hand.

Downs uses ordinary balls, Thomas uses flower balls, two balls with distinct colors, attracting the eyes of these different people, and each ball has its supporters!

Olynyk next to Shangguan Yu couldn't sit still, and he was quite sorry for the two balls Thomas had missed just now.

This time, Shangguan Yu was a little nervous, he wanted Downs's ball to be deflected, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the two balls in the air.
