On the afternoon of February 15, the Barclays Center was hot again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Four competitions are about to begin, among which the most watched three-point contest and dunk contest will be held at the end, and the first will be the shooting star contest.

Anxi stood on the sidelines and changed into a uniform jersey with Charles Barkley and Elena Dorne - the retro jersey of the Philadelphia 76ers. ”

An Xi shook his head, ignoring Charles Barkley's emotion, the game was about to start, and An Xi took a look at their opponent.

The Chris Bosh team, led by Chris Bosh, includes Chris Bosh, Dominic Wilkins and WNBA star Swincash;

The Russell Westbrook team, led by Westerbrook, includes Russell Westbrook himself, Anfernee Hardaway and WNBA Tammy Kacaccins;

The Curry team, led by Stephen Curry, includes Stephen Curry, his dad Dale Curry and WNBA star Sue Bird.

A total of four teams, including the Anxi team, will compete for the first crown on the second day of the All-Star Game.

"I'm still a little nervous. The game was approaching, and Charles Barkley was rarely quiet, he suddenly became a little nervous, and after not playing for a long time, Charles Barkley was still a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere on the field.

An Xi smiled on the side, usually Charles Barkley would talk and laugh in the commentary box, judging all the NBA stars and ordinary players, and now, he will also be judged by his colleagues.

Anxi wanted to ask Charles Barkley how he felt now, but when he thought that the game was about to start, Anxi thought about it, or forget it, and didn't interfere with Charles Barkley's mind before the game.

For the four team or individual events, a host is needed to organize the scene, so Anxi soon saw the official NBA host walk to the center of the court.

Anxi and Stephen Curry were called aside by another NBA staff member and held a lottery, and the result of the lottery was that Anxi was the second to play, and the first to play would be the defending champion team Bosh.

Before the game, Bosh made a bold statement that he would continue to defend the title, but his rivals Anxi and Stephen Curry were directly ignored by him.

Therefore, many people are also looking forward to what kind of performance Bosh can show.

Chris Bosh was shot first by Dominic Wilkins, and at 45° three meters on the right side, Dominic Wilkins hit a shot.

Then, at 45° to the left, WNBA star Sven Cash also hit the same shot.

Three points at the top of the arc, Chris Bosh held the ball and hit again.

In the first three shots, the Bosh team made all three shots, and it took very little time.

Then, Dominic Wilkins missed the first shot and the second shot from the right baseline, and Sven Cash also missed the first shot and the second shot at 45° on the left side.

In the last shot, Chris Bosh hit a three-point shot in the middle circle, and the audience was surprised and let out a huge cheer.

In the end, the Bosh team finished in 30.8 seconds, which was a bit terrifying, and the Bosh team had almost secured a place in the final, and the defending champions lived up to their name.

Anxi felt the pressure and arranged his team's shooting sequence, and like the Bosh team, veteran Charles Barkley came first.

The first throw, 45 ° three meters on the right side, this ball is a medium shot, Charles Barkley is still very stable, after aiming, hit steadily.

In the second throw, at 45 degrees and three meters on the left, Elena Dorn had a problem, the first throw did not go in, and then the second throw stabilized a little and went in.

The third shot, Anxi came out, three points at the top of the arc, Anxi didn't even need to aim, just made a quick shot, smack, easy hit!

The first three shots were just Elena Dorn's time, and the rest of the team was no worse than the Bosh team.

But the next three shots are a bit more difficult.

Charles Barkley's bottom corner three-pointer, after aiming, the first shot did not score, which was expected by Anxi, and he was not in a hurry, waiting for Barkley's second shot.

Barkley's second shot still didn't go in, and then immediately came the third shot, and the third shot finally went in.

However, it was Elena Dorne's 45° three-pointer on the left side, which hit the ball and helped Anxi save time.

Finally, Anxi's three points in the middle circle, this is the biggest basis for the Anxi team to win the championship, Anxi has cast a lot of three points in the middle circle in the usual games, many players need to try their luck with the three points in this position, and Anxi does not need it, this position, he aimed a little, and the accuracy is still very sufficient.

This goal is the same, Anxi shot directly, and with a bang, the final time was fixed at 35.22 seconds, which only took a few seconds more than the Bosh team, which was still quite fast.

After the first two teams competed, the commentator reluctantly announced: "Okay, the preliminaries are over early, with the current results of the Bosh team and the Anxi team, unless the Russell Westbrook team and the Stephen Curry team play extraordinarily next, it will definitely be the Bosh team and the Anxi team that will advance to the finals."

And that's exactly what happened.

The Curry team appeared, and the female player Subord took the lead in shooting and hit directly, but the next Curry father and son made a mistake, missed the shot, and the last shot was three points in the circle, and Dell Curry was lucky and hit the same shot.

But in the end, the time froze, and the Curry team spent 47 seconds and missed the finals early.

Russell Westbrook team, the female player Keggins was at the first shooting point, maybe too nervous, Keggins couldn't score consecutive shots, and Wei Shao, who picked up the ball for him, was very anxious, but he could only keep smiling to comfort Keggins.

In the end, it took only 20 seconds for Cashans to make the shot. Fortunately, Wei Shao and veteran Hardaway both hit a blow to buy time for the team, and in the final ultra-long three-pointer, the veteran "Penny" Hardaway hit a hit, the time was fixed at 39.2 seconds, and finally missed the final match.

The finals are coming, and through the preliminaries, Anxi also knows the strength of the Bosh team, so in the finals, Anxi is more careful.

In the final, the Anxi team took the lead, and the shooting point arrangement was the same as the previous time, with Charles Barkley shooting first.

This time, the veteran Barkley adjusted his mentality, and the first shot, a 45° mid-range shot on the right side, hit it easily.

Elena Dorne also didn't drop the chain, hitting a 45° mid-range shot from the left.

There was no problem with Anxi's three-point arc top, and he didn't even adjust, he shot directly and hit it quickly.

In the first three shots, the Anxi team only took less than 8 seconds, and the speed was surprisingly fast.

Then, with a slightly more difficult back three shots, Charles Barkley, who was in good shape, hit a three-pointer directly into the bottom corner, while Elena Dorne's 45° three-pointer on the left side was solid before the first shot, and this shot also hit a single shot.

Barkley and Dorne's two shots took about 6 seconds, and the first five shots, Anxi's team took less than 15 seconds, and now, it's up to Anxi's three-pointer in the middle circle.

The three points in the middle circle are the most difficult, and sometimes some players can even miss dozens of shots in a row, after all, this is a bet on luck, and if the hand feels a little stronger, it may not hit.

So, at the critical moment, everyone was nervous.

Anxi received the ball in the middle circle, jumped up, aimed at the basket, and shot directly!

The basketball drew a high arc, and after consuming more than a second in the air, it fell directly into the basket with a bang!

"It's in!Three points in the middle circle!Last shot!It's in!"

"In less than 17 seconds, the Anxi team completed six shots, which is too strong!"

"Now, we can announce in advance that the winner of the Shooting Star Contest is Anxi and his Anxi team!"

Indeed, it only took Anxi team 17 seconds to shoot six shots, which is too fast, so fast that it will break through the sky, unless the Bosh team also plays like Anxi team, otherwise, it is impossible for the Bosh team to complete the game in 17 seconds.

Like in the preliminaries, the Bosh team was still the veteran Wilkins who shot at the first point, but then the women's Cash missed three consecutive shots at the second point, but fortunately Bosh hit a three-pointer from the three-point line to buy time for the whole team.

The final midcircle was a three-pointer, and this time the mid-circle three-pointer was replaced by Dominic Wilkins.

Veteran Dominic Wilkins missed consecutive shots and consumed a lot of time, in fact, by the time the game got to this point, the winner had already been decided, so no one on the sidelines paid attention to the game itself.

All three members of the Anxi team stood up to celebrate their winning shooting star title.

The Bosh team's final mid-circle three-pointer was still thrown in the specified time, and it took 57.6 seconds to complete, and the final championship was naturally no suspense.

Although Adam Xiaohua appeared on the sidelines, he did not appear in person to present the award, it was the sponsor who presented the award to Anxi, and a trophy with a small advertisement of the sponsor was awarded to Anxi, and the three of them also had a small gold medal.

The audience cheered, and Anxi broke Bosh's monopoly on this event.

After winning the championship of the first competition, Anxi still needs to rush to the field, and the next thing to be held is the skills competition.

However, before the skills competition, Anxi still needs to be interviewed.

"Is there anything you would like to say about winning the first competition of the day?"

"I'm very happy, it's a good start for me today and I'm going to keep working hard and win the remaining three races. ”

"Then there's the skills competition, and it's the least favored one of you, and you think you have a chance to win?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, in an hour you should know the results, so wait and see. ”

……

After dealing with reporters, Anxi quickly rushed to the locker room, changed into the regular 76ers jersey, and was ready to play.

The rules of the skills competition are: the competition has obstacles and a set course. Players must use a combination of dribbling, passing, and shooting skills to complete the prescribed events, and the amount of time spent determines the outcome of the project. The specific regulations are: the competition is divided into two rounds, the first round is the preliminary round, divided into two groups, each group of two players to play, the fastest finisher enters the second round.

The clock starts when the whistle blows and stops when the player scores the last ball, as the referee's whistle sounds.

There are three required passing events and a shooting event called "Top of the Penalty Area". A player is considered to have passed when he or she has either (1) a successful hit or a shot, or (2) a player who has used up all the balls in his rack while hitting the target/shooting with the ball.

For the layup and the last shot, if a player misses a shot, he must grab his rebound before he can make the next shot, until he makes the shot.

If the two players are tied (within 0.1 seconds), an extra game will be played.

The second round is the final, and the player who finishes the fastest will win the championship.

The rules are a bit complicated, but An Xi has also practiced several times, and he already understands the specific routes and rules.

Eight players, in addition to Anxi himself, there are Jazz's Treeback Burke, Hawks' Dennis Schroder, Rockets' Patrick Beverley, Raptors' Kyle Lowry, Hawks' Jeff Teague, McCarvey, who just transferred to the Knicks, Isaiah Thomas of the Phoenix Suns, Jimmy Butler and John Wall were originally going to play, but they eventually withdrew due to injury.

After grouping, Anxi faced Treyback.

Patrick Beverley and Isaiah Thomas took the lead, both of whom missed three three-pointers in a row, and finally Beverley hit a layup to enter the second round.

Jeff Teague then went head-to-head with McCarvey, who trailed from the start, and finally Jeff Teague hit a three-pointer to advance to the second round.

Then there was the battle between Anxi and Trebbike, Treeback was hindered in the passing link, and Anxi hit a three-pointer to defeat the opponent and enter the next round.

In the last group of Kyle Lowry and Dennis Schroeder's confrontation, Kyle Lowry almost beat Schroder in seconds and easily entered the second round.

This allowed Patrick Beverley, Jeff Teague, Anxi and Kyle Lowry to advance to the second round.

In the second round, Patrick Beverley PK Jeff Teague, although Beverley's pass was blocked behind the opponent, but in the final three-point shot, Patrick Beverley hit a hit and turned the game around.

And the duel between Anxi and Kyle Lowry, Anxi completed it in one go and successfully advanced to the final round.

Patrick Beverley's luck is better, the first two rounds are in the shooting link to kill the opponent, the first three passing rounds, Beverley did not do very well, after the Anxi, he still did not do very well, the first three passing rounds were suppressed by Anxi.

In the final shooting round, Beverley missed the first shot and was directly killed by An Xi's blow.

The skills competition went on very quickly, and Anxi won the most unfavored competition in Anxi.

The NBA officially continued to send sponsor representatives to present the awards, and Anxi received his second trophy in All-Star Weekend, and next, he has to attack the remaining two championship trophies, everything is under his control.
