【Chapter 1002】 Three Crowns in Hand (Year of the Monkey!)
On the second day of All-Star Weekend, the stars were still arranged by the league to complete various charity activities or shows at various organizations in Toronto, and many players were busy attending various advertisers' press conferences.
The trio of Xiao Feng, Kobe Bryant and Wade continued to carry out activities in the community today, enjoying the joy of basketball with the children and basketball lovers in the community. After yesterday's tacit understanding, the cooperation of the three-person team is more smooth, the cooperation is quite relaxed, and the mood is also excellent.
After a night of fermentation, the establishment of a charity foundation by Xiao Feng and the three of them has become the news reported by many media, and a large number of media reporters followed the trio's actions, highlighting the trio's high popularity.
After the end of the event, Xiao Feng also made some explanations to the reporters interviewed, Xiao Feng and the three of them each contributed 1 million US dollars to set up a foundation dedicated to assisting American orphans, and the three of them will continue to invest more funds every year. Xiao Feng hopes that through this foundation, more orphans will be helped to obtain more educational opportunities, thereby changing their fate and reducing the possibility of future crimes.
Regarding Xiao Feng's move, the real-time comments of major media believe that this is the consistent style of Xiao Feng, a Chinese philanthropist, and it will also be a precursor to the large-scale development of Xiao Feng's charity in the United States.
Prior to this, Xiao Feng had also set up a charitable foundation in the United States, but that foundation was more to serve Chinese students studying in the United States and provide help to those outstanding Chinese students from poor families.
For this reason, many American media criticized Xiao Feng for not having enough international vision in terms of philanthropy, and staring closely at the one-third of an acre of land in China, which is a bit petty.
This time, Xiao Feng united two NBA superstars and started a charity in the United States. It has been well received by the American press.
For the universal values of Western society, philanthropists can often gain more social reputation and status, and Xiao Feng's move has a somewhat 'popular popularity' flavor.
…………
After most of the day's activities, Xiao Feng returned to the Air Canada Center and rushed into the restaurant to eat, he still had three games to play in the evening, and he had to maintain enough physical strength.
Eight p.m. local time. The All-Star Weekend skills competition officially kicked off, attracting hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
Compared with yesterday's rookie challenge, today's skills competition has more highlights, after all, masters from all walks of life have appeared one after another, among which the showdown between Xiao Feng and Curry is also deliberately promoted by the entire NBA league.
As the current top point guards in the league, Xiao Feng and Curry represent the highest level in the league, and the two compete in the Shooting Star Challenge, Skills Challenge and Three-Point Contest, which naturally attracts the attention of fans around the world.
Partnering Xiao Feng in the Shooting Star Challenge are Lakers Magic Johnson and Los Angeles Sparks Shannon Bobbitt, who first played against the Western Conference Second team led by Curry and his son. The winner will be the winner of the East for the final championship.
Although Xiao Feng performed well in the game, his teammates did not give it a long time, and finally lost to Curry, and he could only regretfully watch the Curry team and the defending champion Bosh team compete for the final championship.
In the end, the Curry team defeated the Bosh team to win this year's Shooting Star Challenge, avenging last year's one-shot victory and making a good start to this year's All-Star Weekend.
In the next Skill Challenge. Xiao Feng's performance was impeccable, whether it was dribbling, passing or shooting, there were no mistakes. And it was extremely fast, and it was logical to beat Curry, Paul and others to win his first championship in the NBA.
Although Curry did not make mistakes, he was still slightly inferior in speed, taking 2 seconds longer than Xiao Feng, and he could only be the runner-up.
After the end of the first two competitions. Xiao Feng and Curry each won a championship, which also made the matchup that the league has been promoting into a white-hot state, and even the audience in front of the TV was in high spirits.
This was followed by an even more exciting three-point contest, which was able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience better than the previous two games. After all, on the court, the three-point is second only to the dunk.
In addition to Xiao Feng and Curry, the stars participating in this year's three-point contest include Harden, Lowry, Thompson, Bosh and many other good players, which can be described as a gathering of masters. This year's tournament will be contested by eight stars, and the 14 divisional qualifiers will no longer be used, but will use the first round of scuffles.
The game is a total of 25 balls in five positions, four positions are 4 orange balls worth 1 point and 1 flower ball worth 2 points, and the last dominant position is all flower balls, with a total score of 34 points!
Harden was the first to play, and the bearded shooter was a little nervous, hitting only one of the four balls in front of the first point, but luckily the final shot was made.
Gradually, Harden got into the groove and finished his game with 25 points, but such a score did not ensure that he made it to the finals.
Immediately after, Lowry, Middleton, Redick and Booker played in turn, and they scored 26, 22, 21 and 24 points respectively, waiting for the next three masters.
Thompson once set an NBA record of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter in the game, and when he played, he naturally won warm applause from the audience. Thompson, on the other hand, lived up to expectations, conceded only four orange balls and two flower balls, scored 28 points, temporarily ranked first, and successfully entered the finals.
Xiao Feng made his penultimate appearance, as Xiao Feng, who shot the most three-pointers this season and set a record for the number of three-pointers hit in an NBA single-season season.
As soon as Xiao Feng came up, he felt bursting, and all 5 balls in the bottom corner were hit, and the audience at the scene was also holding their breath, looking forward to Xiao Feng breaking the record of consecutive hits.
The NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest record is 19 set by Clegg Hodges in 1991, and Curry, who won the championship last year, is second with 13 consecutive hits!
In the next advantageous position, Xiao Feng hit all five colored balls, and he had already scored 16 points just after two rounds, if nothing else, there was no suspense for him to break into the finals with a high score.
After hitting 12 in a row, Xiao Feng missed his third shot at the top of the arc and missed the chance to break the record. However, 12 consecutive hits also rank third all-time.
In the end, Xiao Feng missed 2 orange balls in other positions, and finally entered the finals with a high score of 31 points.
In the face of Xiao Feng's super high score, Curry obviously felt the pressure. The first orange ball was missed, causing an uproar in the audience.
Fortunately, Curry quickly stabilized his mind, and hit the next 4 balls in a row, until the flower ball in the second position was missed, and gradually found his rhythm. Curry hit all of them at the top of the arc, but he missed another orange ball and flower ball at a 45-degree angle, which he is not good at, and finally qualified for the finals with a score of 28 points.
In this way, the two teammates of Thompson and Curry will encircle Xiao Feng in the finals. It was also a scene that the audience and fans had been waiting for a long time, so when Curry finished throwing the last flower ball, the audience burst into warm applause.
After a short break, the live announcer announced the start of the final, and all the audience was already standing and standing to applaud the three players who participated in the final.
In the stands closest to the stadium, the Xiao family, the Xiaobei couple, the George Morgan couple, the Smith Walton couple, and a group of celebrities from China were all cheering for Xiao Feng.
Nini and the little guys wore Xiao Feng's No. 23 jersey. Holding the KT board and Xiao Feng's avatar, he was shouting cheers vigorously. also completely ignored his own immature voice, which has long been covered by the voices around him.
The on-site director is also quite clever, and soon switched the picture to the stands, and the cute images of several little Lori and Xiao Zhengtai also made the audience feel good about the scene and in front of the TV;
After the start of the game. Thompson, who was at the bottom of the first round, was the first to strike, and his form was undoubtedly a little higher than in the first round, with a score of 29 points even surpassing Curry's 27 points that won the championship last year!
Thompson's outstanding performance is both pressure and motivation for Curry and Xiao Feng who will play next, and only by winning the championship with a high score in this situation can we prove the gold content of the three-point contest championship!
Curry, who finished second in the first round, stared at the pressure. He still continued the hot hand of the first round and the regular season, almost up and down, no example!
In the first three positions, Curry scored a total of 20 points, except for two orange balls at the most difficult 45-degree angle, and the wonderful performance made the audience extremely excited.
Still at a 45-degree angle, Curry missed another orange ball, and finally scored a high score of 31 points, which was already the same as Xiao Feng's performance in the first round. It was also the most shots ever made in a final in the 20-year history of the three-point contest, with a total of 22 balls, the previous record being 21 goals set by Capono in 2008!
The entire audience stood up and applauded last season's MVP, who had to cheer for the tiny man in the face of the pressure from his teammates and opponents to throw the best result in history!
Even as an opponent, Xiao Feng applauded Curry from the bottom of his heart, in the NBA, Curry's emergence is the hardest training, just a kind of mental strength.
When the applause of the audience gradually stopped, Xiao Feng began his amazing performance in the three-point contest, from the first ball he did not fall behind, like a textbook shooting, perfect arc and the beautiful sound of 'brushing the net', so that the eyes of the entire Air Canada Center and the global TV audience focused on him.
After hitting all the first three positions, Xiao Feng's score has reached 22 points, which suddenly made Curry on the sidelines raise his heart to his throat.
In the second 45-degree angle position, Xiao Feng had already fought hard to record 19 consecutive balls after hitting the first 4 orange balls, and then everyone held their breath, waiting for the birth of a new record.
When Xiao Feng hit the flower ball steadily, a new consecutive hit record was born, but Xiao Feng's performance was not over yet, and in the bottom corner of the least difficult place, he was still a hundred steps through Yang!
In the end, Xiao Feng won the championship of the three-point contest with 25 goals and a perfect score of 34 points, not only setting a record of consecutive hits, but also creating a record of all hits!
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but give a standing ovation, even Curry stood up and applauded his opponent, losing to such an opponent would not make Curry feel depressed!
NBA commissioner Silva is sitting in his office monitoring the ratings, and he is happy to see the rising ratings on the curve, which is all advertising money and influence!
In addition to accepting the championship trophy of the three-point contest, Xiao Feng didn't have time to rest, and the next thing was the most exciting slam dunk contest!
The championship of two consecutive events also raised Xiao Feng's mood, and he had more expectations for the slam dunk contest, after all, this was also one of the ways that Jordan became famous back then.
Xiao Feng's height of 185cm is not tall in the NBA, and he has to compete with those spring people who are about 2 meters tall, which has a strong contrast and attracts attention.
In the end, Xiao Feng completed a series of difficult dunks in the slam dunk contest, and unexpectedly won the championship of the dunk contest and became one of the few short champions in the history of the dunk contest.
Among them, Xiao Feng's gliding dunk imitating Jordan who took a big step outside the free throw line is not only wonderful and beautiful, but also full of elegant style, which is impressive.
The 185cm Xiao Feng made many movements that 2-meter stars could not do, and the shock to the audience and judges was incomparable, full of impact!
The second day of the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend ended with Xiao Feng's triple crown, which is also the first star in history to win three championships in an All-Star Weekend.
