Chapter 111: Three of them are divided equally

The Three-Point Contest is one of the major events of the NBA All-Star Weekend, and the game is normally divided into two rounds, with each player having one chance in each round, and the top three players in the first round advance to the finals. If there is a tie, then there will be an extra game.

The second round is played in the same way as the first round, and if there is a tie in the final, an extra match will be played until the ranking is determined.

In the previous three-point competition, the full score was 30 points, but since 2014, the full score is 34 points, and there are four more flower balls. And players can put these four flower balls in any one of them, and they are most sure of the point.

Players need to throw five balls placed on five points, and after throwing one point, they rush to the next point. And all the balls must be thrown within one minute, and the player with the most points is the winner.

The game officially began, and the first person to take the field was Clay Thompson.

As his teammate, Dream Chase Draymond Green said, this time in the three-point contest, Klay Thompson is holding his breath, this time he will definitely vent to his heart's content.

As soon as he came up to the bottom corner of the right corner, he hit four of the five balls, and only the last flower ball did not go in.

The second point also maintained a super high shooting percentage, hitting four balls and also including a key flower ball. The emotions of the fans began to rise, and they didn't expect the first player to come up to perform so well and start cheering to the rhythm of Klay Thompson.

Although at the third point at the top of the arc, Thompson missed two shots and a flower ball.

But at a 45-degree angle on the left side, he hit all five balls and could basically advance to the next round.

Director Zhang, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, couldn't help but exclaim: "Thompson is really accurate!" ”

The bottom left corner was full of flower balls, but unfortunately Thompson shot a little fast, so he missed three shots, but he still scored 22 points.

The second to appear is James Harden, who always looks like he will never wake up, but he doesn't give up on the court.

But today he had an average hand, conceding three balls at the first point, and he also lost two balls at the top of the arc.

After three points, he only got 13 points, and like the number on his body, it was a bit hanging to advance.

The next two points felt average, but with a flower ball that he hit at the end, he scored 20 points.

The third to appear is JJ Redick, who is the No. 1 three-point shooting percentage this year, and his shot is really extraordinary.

The first point was directly hit by 5 goals, but what people didn't expect was that his shooting rate dropped sharply in the next two points.

Only three out of 10 balls were hit, which was a bit of a big off-standard.

This may have something to do with his shooting movements, as he jumps off every ball and consumes too much physical energy.

But on the fourth point, JJ Redick once again found his form, hitting all five goals again.

The game became more and more beautiful, and the fans in the stadium were getting more and more excited, and many people got up from their seats.

It's just a pity that he only hit two of the five flower balls in the last point, otherwise he would have risen to No. 1 and ended up with Harden with 20 points.

The next Chris Middleton, who may be competing for the first time, was a little nervous, so he went crazy and struck iron.

In the end, his score was fixed at 13 points, and he had no chance to participate in the next round, so he could watch from the wall with peace of mind.

The performances of the NBA All-Star Weekend are always so well arranged, after the four-person game, it is just halfway through the first round of the game, and it is immediately a wonderful cheerleading performance. The cheerleading girls with their own merits feast their eyes on everyone present.

Next up is the All-Star Three-Point Contest, the youngest player in history and the only rookie - Devin Booker.

Shangguan Yu is not very optimistic about him, because being young means paying tuition.

As soon as he came up, his expression was very dignified, and he didn't make any of the first four shots before the first point, but fortunately he hit the flower ball.

The second point has still not been improved, it is still one of five, it looks a little uneasy, and the movements are a little deformed.

The third point, which is the top of the arc, is the point with the highest shooting percentage in the three-point shooting competition, and this time he finally hit three shots.

Now he only has seven points in his hand, and unless he shoots all ten of the next ten balls, there may be a slight chance of progressing.

But to Shangguan Yu's surprise, he was actually four out of five, and he still had a glimmer of hope for promotion.

Because his fifth point is all flower balls, but he hits the iron with one shot.

Shangguan Yu sweated for him, although the two did not have a deep relationship, but when they participated in the draft before, they still had a few encounters.

It's just that he was more shy, Shangguan Yu was a little inferior at the beginning, and the two didn't speak.

But Shangguan Yu, who is also a rookie, still supports him and hopes that he can perform well.

After this goal missed, he seemed to have regained his touch, and the last four flower balls were all hit, with this key 8 points, he also scored 20 points, and now the three are tied for the first place, and it is estimated that there will be an extra game.

However, the next three are not good stubble, especially with Curry's finale, the scene will definitely be even hotter.

CJ McCollum, who replaced the injured Chris Bosh, was also a little out of shape as soon as he came on the court, hitting three of the first ten goals, but fortunately, two of them were flower balls, and he still had a glimmer of life.

And his five shots at the top of the arc, all of which were shots, once again grasped the initiative to advance.

But at the next point, he was lost again, and only one of his five shots were made.

Then there was another five-in-one, who kept himself out of the second round and became the second player to be eliminated.

The penultimate was the hosts, Kyle Lowry, who had just stood up and was called out to by the home fans.

Xiao Gangcang seems to be deeply loved by the fans here, but I don't know if he can shine in front of his father and fellow villagers?

Kyle Lowry was in average form today, hitting just three goals in the first point of the game.

But the second point, only two shots, if you want to advance, you have to work harder.

The fans cheered louder, hoping to bring strength and good fortune to Kyle Lowry. But this time, it is estimated that many people will be disappointed, because he has become an Iron Brother again.

At the top of the arc, he hit only three of the five balls, forty-five degrees on the left, and he only hit one of the five flower balls, basically missing the chance to advance.

And he shot a little slowly, to the last point, only 10 seconds, but in this rush shot, he actually shot three of them, so he scored 15 points.

Although he was eliminated from the competition, he was not the bottom one, at least not to disgrace Toronto fans.

Next up is heavyweight Stephen Curry, but regardless of his final outcome, there will be an extra game this time because there are three players in the competition and 20 points at the same time.

And now fans are looking forward to Curry's performance even more.
