Chapter Seventy-Three: The Quathlon (Part II)
Klay Thompson was followed by Marco Belinelli, who was nervous, and Klay Thompson's 29 points put him under too much pressure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the first four shots, the four scored 18 points for Kelly Irving, 20 points for JJ Redick, 22 points for James Harden, and 29 points for Klay Thompson, scoring higher than the other, and for Marco Belinelli, he obviously needs to get a higher score than Redick, and preferably more than James Harden, otherwise his chances of advancing to the finals are really small.
Eight people are competing for three finals spots, and now, Klay Thompson has almost locked up a final spot, which means that Marco Belinelli needs to compete with the remaining few people for the remaining two places, which is still quite difficult.
In particular, considering that there are two perverts in the back, Anxi and Stephen Curry, Marco Belinelli feels even more hopeless.
Nervous, coupled with the fact that he was not optimistic about his own Marco Belinelli, after a three-point shot of five shooting points, Marco Belinelli's score was fixed at 19 points, which was actually lower than JJ Redick, which means that he has been out early.
Just after the game, Maco Berinelli was also a little miserable, but there was nothing he could do, he made a mistake in his own performance, and the final consequences could only be borne by himself.
Marco Belinelli left the court in disgrace, and Kelly Irving was eliminated first, and the two brothers sat together, and at this point, no one on the sidelines was paying attention to them, because it was Stephen Curry who came out next......
Stephen Curry came out, he still had that trademark gesture, gritted his braces, looked like a bad student, and laughed with his teammate Klay Thompson on the sidelines.
Just this action, coupled with the on-site host's announcement, the scene suddenly erupted into a deafening cheer.
After Klay Thompson, the most anticipated is Stephen Curry's appearance.
Soon, Stephen Curry walked to the sidelines, pressed his hands on either side of the court, signaled the crowd to be quiet, and then he stood on the edge of the first shooting spot in the bottom corner, ready to start the preliminary game.
"Toot!"
As soon as the whistle blew on the sidelines, Stephen Curry grabbed the ball and threw it quickly.
First goal, score!
The second goal, score!
Third goal, score!
The cheers of the audience were wave after wave, and Stephen Curry showed super hot competitive form, hitting three-point shots, and his condition looked comparable to that of Klay Thompson before.
However, this is very much in line with everyone's expectations, the three big bosses of this three-point contest, Klay Thompson, Anxi who has not yet played, and the other is Stephen Curry, Curry's performance is obviously not unexpected by everyone.
At the second shooting point, Stephen Curry had the same rhythm as the first shooting point, and in the cheers of the fans at the scene, the sound of "swish" was endless, and it turned out to be another five-goal shot!
That's it, after the first two shooting points, his score came to a perfect 12 points!
The crowd on the sidelines was going crazy, Klay Thompson scored 29 points, but looking at Stephen Curry's pace, the score may be higher, this is really the strongest All-Star three-point contest in history.
Stephen Curry is also excited, and the more excited he is, the more accurate his three-point will be.
The third shooting point, the first four balls, Stephen Curry hit four more shots, just like that, Stephen Curry hit 14 balls in a row, and his personal score has come to 16 points.
It's just that the last flower ball didn't go in.
The fourth shooting spot was Stephen Curry's flower spot.
The point of play is one of Stephen Curry's best shooting spots, and he continued to be strong, hitting four of five flower shots to score another eight points, and with the previous 16 points, Stephen Curry's score has risen to 24 points.
Stephen Curry had already scored 24 points when he had one shooting point left, and now it was JJ Redick with a wry smile that he survived Marco Belinelli, but was eventually eliminated by Stephen Curry.
Although James Harden has not been eliminated, Stephen Curry's scoring has surpassed him, which means that James Harden needs to compete with Anxi and Kyle Korver, who have not yet played, for the last promotion spot.
Anxi is very strong, there is no need to question this, even Kyle Korver may cause an upset, James Harden has a hunch that he should not be able to advance.
At the last shooting point, time was a little short, Stephen Curry accelerated the speed of the shot, but the accuracy was still there, four of the five balls were scored, including a flower ball, and finally Stephen Curry also scored a 29 points to tie Klay Thompson.
The elementary school students also scored a 29 points, and the scene erupted into a burst of cheers, especially when the audience on the spot saw the elementary school students pointing to Klay Thompson on the bench on the sidelines, the cheers ushered in another wave of outbreaks, and they actually went up a step again.
Stephen Curry didn't leave the court immediately, because he knew that Anxi would be the next to play.
"Next up is Ann! Creek! ”
An Xi came out with both hands, and Curry, a primary school student who had never left the scene, rushed over and bumped into Anxi's chest once, and the scene suddenly screamed.
An Xi shook his head helplessly, he continued to wave his hand, and did not make any more movements, he directly stood on the edge of the three-point line, ready to start the game.
Unlike Stephen Curry's exaggerated pre-game performance before, Anxi behaved very indifferently, as if this game was not important at all, or like this game was easy for Anxi.
But there are also those who think that Anxi is a deeper level of pretending, Stephen Curry has a good show of various pressure hands and various braces, and when he arrives at Anxi, there is no show, but in fact, this is a show, a silent and actionless show.
"Let's see if Anxi can come up with results comparable to Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry......"
An Xi stood next to the first shooting point and signaled to the referee that the game could begin.
The referee beeped and blew the whistle.
An Xi immediately made a move and grabbed the first ball.
Swish!
There was a crisp sound of scraping the net, and the first ball hit accurately.
Then, again! The second goal went in just after.
Then came the third, the fourth, and even the fifth......
After the first shooting point was shot, after five crisp net wiping sounds, all five goals were scored, and the audience cheered! Anxi also showed a fiery personal touch, and this three-point contest was exciting.
At the second shooting point, Anxi continued to adjust his shooting posture and state, and the sound of swishing was endless, and in the three-point row, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the sidelines also began to look involuntarily at the center of the court, because Anxi shot fast and accurately, and the shooting speed was even faster than Stephen Curry, and the cheers of the entire Barclays Center were getting louder and louder.
The second shooting point, still all-in!
Then the third, the position at the top of the arc, the position that Anxi is most sure of, he sped up, and with a swing of his hands, he made a three-point shot, 5 balls, and it was all in again!
In the first three shooting points, Anxi directly scored 18 points with a perfect score!
By the fourth shooting point, when Anxi steadily threw the first four orange balls, James Harden knew that he was also out, and before Kyle Korver had not yet played, Anxi, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry were going to occupy the top three, which was in line with people's predictions before the game, and this three-point contest was indeed a big battle for the three.
The last flower ball of the fourth shooting point is another smack, in!
24 points, James Harden is out!
The scene was full of cheers, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
The fifth shooting point is the flower ball point set by Anxi, and the shooting of this point is not the point that Anxi is best at, but he set up the flower ball at this point, the reason is that the last point is more exciting.
The cheers at the scene were deafening, but Anxi was not affected by this heat wave, he stood at the last shooting point, the first flower ball, hmph! Entered!
Then, the second flower bulb! Swish! It's in again!
28 points! Anxi is only one point away from tying Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson's preliminaries.
But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Anxi has not conceded a goal so far!
The third flower ball, Anxi stabilized his body and shot quickly, hey! 30 points!
The audience exploded, and I didn't know who took the lead, and there was a neat cry at the scene.
"Ann! Quiet! Quiet! ”
Fourth Orange Ball! Swish! 32 points!
The commentator was immediately excited: "32 points! 32 points! Anxi tied the all-time record held by Klay Thompson! ”
But......
At last...... The last flower ball was shot, and it slammed, leaving regrets all over the ground.
Anxi lost the last flower ball and finally scored 32 points, which tied the historical record held by Klay Thompson, but it was only one goal away from breaking this record, which is a pity, but fortunately, this is only a preliminary round, and Anxi still has a chance to go further.
The audience cheered, "Ann! Quiet! Quiet! ”
The shouts in unison continued, and An Xi waved his hand and walked to the sidelines, ending his performance in the preliminaries of the three-point contest.
"32 points, Anxi locked a place in the finals, this three-point battle, Anxi is the leader of this battle for the time being, and he also has the opportunity to compete for the final king!"
In the end, Kyle Korver played, he withstood the pressure, and finally only shot a 25 points, and the score was very high, but there were three perverts on it, and Kyle Cavour finally missed the finals.
In the final round, Anxi was eligible to arrange the order of appearance, and in the end, he chose to play in the finale, letting Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry play first.
There was a break between the preliminaries and the finals, and the discussion in the commentary booth began.
"Anxi's state is too hot, as long as he continues this state, the final champion must be his!"
"But Anxi's state came out too early, and it's really hard to say whether the state can continue."
"That's right, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry's scores in the preliminaries are not low, which shows that their form is not bad, and it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end."
……
In the final round, Stephen Curry was the first to play.
Because Anxi scored 32 points in the preliminaries, Stephen Curry felt the pressure, and this time his appearance was much more low-key, silently walking to the first shooting point to prepare for the final finals.
The play in the finals is crucial, because it will determine the final winner, Stephen Curry is very serious and careful, the whistle on the sideline sounds, he is like an electric shock, he reaches out like lightning, grabs the first ball, throws it up, and throws it.
He has significantly quickened his shooting speed compared to the first round of preliminaries, and he has to save more time for those shots that he is not sure of.
"Huh!"
The first goal was a solid hit.
After hitting the first shot, he turned around and picked up the second ball, which was almost the same rhythm as the first, and then threw it again.
The parabola is perfect, and after the basketball crosses the highest point, it falls straight down.
"Huh!"
The second goal was still on target.
The third goal, too!
Fourth, fifth, all hit!
The performance was exactly the same as in the preliminaries, and the first point was all five goals! 6 points in hand!
The audience cheered again, their voices were already hoarse, but seeing this wonderful three-point contest, even if they really became dumb in the future, they felt that it was worth it.
Stephen Curry rushed to the second shooting spot and continued to shoot.
Stephen Curry was still accurate in this shooting point, hitting 4 of the 5 balls, and the last flower ball was a little worse, and the ball bounced out after it went in, causing the fans at the scene to exclaim.
At the top of the arc, Stephen Curry hit another 5-goal shot, conceding only 2 points from the first three points and scoring 16 points.
Then, at the 45° angle on the left, this position is Stephen Curry's flower ball point, and his flower ball point in the preliminaries is also in this position, this position is the hottest point for him to shoot three-point, and it is also the point he grasps the most, the flower ball point is very important, a ball is 2 points, 5 balls is 10 points, Stephen Curry attaches great importance to it, he slowed down his shooting rhythm and began to deal with it seriously.
The first ball was aimed and thrown.
The arc of the basketball is very positive and the power is perfect.
"Huh!"
First goal, score!
The second goal was still unhurried.
Or enter!
There was already a burst of cheers on the sidelines, and Stephen Curry's score continued to skyrocket.
The third goal, back in!
The fourth goal, back in!
The fifth ball, no doubt, keep going!
In the end, after the first four shooting points, Stephen Curry only lost one flower ball, and the performance was perfect!
"Wow, that's great, Stephen Curry is doing great! Sure enough, it is the strongest and most exciting three-point contest in history, and there is still one last shooting point left, and Stephen Curry has scored 26 points! ”
Stephen Curry has one last shooting point left, and if the last shooting point is all right, then Stephen Curry will also score a 32 points, and if that's the case, then this game is crazy!
At the fifth shooting point, Stephen Curry himself realized the importance of the last five shots, so he was careful with each shot.
Swish! Stephen Curry slowed down the first shot and hit it steadily!
Then, the second ball, still a solid hit, 28 points!
The third ball went on, 29 points!
The fourth goal, back in! 30 points!
The cheers at the scene stopped abruptly, only the last flower ball was left, and everyone quieted down, holding their breath, staring at the last flower ball, not daring to miss it at all.
