However, things changed dramatically when Russell joined the Knicks. The update is the fastest, although everyone hasn't realized it yet, but he, Russell, is no longer the original Russell.

Russell vs. Downs showdown. Originally, most people thought that Downs would win the event by a landslide. A few people believe that the competition between the two will be fierce. After all, Russell was a defender.

But at the beginning of the game, everyone's mouths opened in surprise. Is this still the same Russell with average physical condition?

His pace has changed dramatically from the first two games.

By the time Towns arrived in his second project, Russell had already reached the three-point line.

By the time Towns passed the ball to the basket, Russell's three-pointer had easily gone into the basket.

The victory was indeed overwhelming, but it was Russell who won the Downs by a landslide.

This is the end of the skills competition. Russell took home another trophy after winning the MVP of the rookie game. Russell is getting people to get to know him again, to re-recognize him. Know what kind of strength he is and what kind of frenzy he will set off in this alliance.

At the same time as the end of the skills competition, another competition starts at the same time. That's the three-point shootout. The three-point shot was not that pretty. But since the advent of Curry and Thompson, the three-point shot has gradually become popular. Many people love to hear the ball crash into the hoop like a splash.

Although LaVine saved the dunk contest, and the matchup between LaVine and Gordon raised the dunk contest to a certain height, the three-point contest still has a faint tendency to override it.

The lineup of this three-point contest is still staggeringly strong.

The two major league greats Curry and Thompson have participated in three years in a row, and there is one more person who has participated this year, and that is Durant. The Warriors came in three people at once. In order to be fair, the league has set the number of participants in the three-point contest to six. At least three of the remaining 29 teams will be able to participate. However, it seems that the trophy will fall into the hands of the Warriors without exception.

The other three are Reddick, Nick Young, and Thomas. Such a line-up is luxurious, and if these people form a team, then the championship will not fall into the arms of anyone else.

Three of the four King Kongs came. The league also gave the three superstars enough respect to make them last in line.

Thomas, Redick, Durant, Nick Young, Curry and Thompson are the six players in turn.

It was supposed to be the last of the three of them, but all the teams except the Warriors complained. There was little psychological pressure in the back, and the three of them were put in the back at the same time. It's simply unfair, the league is favoring the Warriors and deliberately giving this trophy to the Warriors.

That's when the league compromised and put Durant ahead of Nick Young.

Thomas was depressed in the skills competition, and the depressed Thomas wanted to vomit blood. Originally, he was just here to play soy sauce entertainment, and he knew that he couldn't win those two perverts, Curry and Thompson. So he put all his hopes on the skills competition, but he didn't expect to lose to Russell in the skills competition. Now Thomas has to put all the blocks on top of the three-point contest.

There are a total of five points in the three-point contest. Two bottom corner positions, two forty-five degree positions and the top of the arc. Put five balls in each place. The first four are all normal balls, and the last one is a flower ball. One point is counted for each ordinary ball, and two points for flower balls. Players should bowl as many balls as possible in a minute. Winners are ultimately judged based on the number of points obtained.

It is divided into two rounds. The top three finishers from the first round advance to the finals. The winner is the one with the most points in the final.

A whistle blew and Thomas stepped onto the pitch. In the opening whistle, Thomas pitched very quickly.

Fifteen seconds had passed, and he had already thrown the ball in the second block. Five hurdles in one minute, which is basically a goal in 2.4 seconds. But it took only fifteen seconds for Thomas to score ten goals. It's too fast. Maybe it has a lot to do with Thomas's mentality. Because Thomas's three-point shooting percentage in the game was quite good, but now that ten shots have passed, Thomas has only gotten a pitiful three-pointer. The most important thing is that he misses the first two flower balls. You must know that the flower ball can be a two-point one, and it can top two.

Everyone thought Thomas was going bad. If this continues, will the lowest score in the history of the shooting contest be set today? Many people were sympathetic to Thomas, too. Thomas, who is now a first-tier star in the league. came to participate in two competitions for young people in an entertaining way, and they all had to sink into the sand.

However, someone suddenly was surprised. In the shooting contest, everyone's movements are done in one go, and there are few stops. There's a good chance you'll disrupt your rhythm. But everyone saw that Thomas had a noticeable pause of more than a second as he ran to the top of the arc.

Thomas took two deep puffs. When he opened his eyes again, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and Thomas's expression changed. The eager expression vanished.

Whew!!

In this column, Thomas can be said to have turned the tide, and actually threw all five goals. He scored six points in this column. The score came to nine in an instant. The most important thing is that Thomas's faith is back.

Thomas's remaining two hurdles were getting smoother and smoother, but it was really not a good day for Thomas.

Because Thomas's two remaining two balls in the two columns were still unlucky to miss. There was even one that swung several laps in the basket and finally spun out.

In the end, Thomas scored 17 points. When Thomas came down, his expression was very bad. However, if he is lucky, he still retains his hopes of qualifying. Because now the competition has just begun, everyone is still in the warm-up stage. At this time, there is generally no good score.

The second to appear is Reddick, whose expression is more relaxed. Redick is a well-known pitcher in the league. The three-point shooting percentage remained at around 40 percent. However, in last year's three-point contest, Redick played a little abnormally. He made mistakes like Thomas. It is very dangerous to change the pace of shooting in the game.

Last year, when he started, he shot very fast. The hit rate was affected, and although it was later adjusted, it was still eliminated from the competition.

As soon as the whistle blew and Redick made a move, his movements didn't look fast, but he shot very quickly. Combined, the speed is very moderate.

In the first column, Redick did not do well, scoring only the fourth of the first four goals. But when the ball is shot, the curvature of the ball is very good. The flower ball goes smoothly into the basket.

I hit a flower ball and came to feel it. In the second column, Reddick is overwhelmed. The first four balls hit in a row.

Everyone raised their hands in the air to celebrate a full hit, and when the flower ball, Reddick's shot was less powerful. The flower ball hits the front of the basket.

The mistake of the flower ball seems to affect Redick, resulting in the first two balls at the top of the arc, and Redick's throw is a little out of standard.

Redick's shooting speed this year is very good, and he has improved a lot from last year. By the time the last shot was made, there were two seconds left in the clock.

And the results are also quite good, but Redick is a pitcher with a big heart. But he showed a game-wide inconsistency that belonged entirely to the pitcher. His next shot was accurate, and it was all up to him whether he hit the last flower ball. Redick ended up narrowly beating Thomas to score eighteen points.

Redick scored 18 points, which pretty much meant that Thomas was eliminated from the three-point shootout. Because Thomas wouldn't have doubted that those two perverts didn't get seventeen points.

It seems that this year's game is still the best three pitchers in the league. Even if Redick made it to the finals, he was just a foil for the two.

In the midst of a tumbling thought, the third gamer, the most controversial one of the seasons, Kevin Durant, came on the court.

As soon as Durant came on the court, he heard boos on such a peaceful day. This is one of the few things in this era.

Although he has personal ambitions, Durant joins the Warriors, but he feels that the Warriors are more suitable for him. He can aim higher. But it's also a bit like what the fans say. You can't beat him, I can't beat him, and I can't beat you, so I'll join you, and the two of us will join forces to defeat him.

That's not Durant's fault. It can only be said that Curry is strong and James is stronger. Durant no longer thinks his team can beat the two of them.

If you want to build a team like your own quickly. Then joining is the quickest way. There's no way the Cavaliers want Durant. And the Warriors have just experienced the pain of defeat, so they are naturally happy to join Durant.

Many people think that Westbrook is a fool and unreasonable. His brother took care of him like that at the beginning, but now when his brother is pursuing a higher dream, he treats his brother like this. resolutely stood on the other side of the brother.

But many people may not think about how Westbrook could not know Durant. He may have known long ago that Durant would be gone. It's just that I didn't expect Durant to leave, but joined the team that just beat him. Moreover, Durant didn't even tell his brother what he thought. At that moment, in front of interests, Westbrook was no longer his brother. He chose to ignore Westbrook outright. Maybe he told Westbrook what he thought before he made the decision, but it could have been a different story.

Westbrook's thinking is more in line with that of the older generation of players. I'd rather be the uncrowned king than surrender to my opponents.

Durant, on the other hand, is a new human being, and he values more personal interests. Profit above all else.

That's why he pretended to be strong, and when he faced Westbrook repeatedly, he was a killer and severely belittled the parent team that was lonely because of his sudden farewell.

If you want to say that there is a record. Which star did not have conflicts with the parent team in the parent team, and everything was peaceful. But after leaving suddenly, if he hates his parent team to the core, then Durant is definitely the best on this list.

Even if Shark O'Neal had a falling out with the Lakers back then, people didn't hate the parent team as much as he did.

first chose cowardice, and then after being protected, he showed his incomparable toughness in the face of a weakling, which may be why fans will pay tribute to Durant with a cake.

Hearing the boos, one of Durant's faces immediately turned cold. But there are countless scenes that a star like him has seen. The boos didn't disturb his mentality. Durant shot all the balls with a cold face throughout the whole process.

I remember that Durant once participated in the three-point contest and was also questioned. That is, his three-point shooting statistics are not up to the standard of participation. But the Alliance invited him. That year, Durant was eliminated.

Durant is very different from what he was back then. Durant's talent is indeed high, and if he has a strong heart, Durant may forge his own dynasty instead of adding Curry to the back. Like Kobe, everyone can only be the second in front of him.

Durant came down in one lap and scored 20 points.

By the time Durant was gone, Thomas' face had turned to carbon. However, Thomas did not expect that his face would be black and black today.

Nick Young stepped in the footsteps of Durant off the court.

Nick Young's three-point shooting this season has been unexpected. He is now the Lakers' highest-shot three-point shooting percentage. It's also up to a 40 percent hit rate. He often plays 5-of-8 three-pointers.

Nick Young never thought he was going to be worse than anyone else, and the better the opponent he faced, the better he would perform.

Nick Young once said that Kobe Bryant was no match for him alone. It's enough to see Nick Young's self-confidence that he doesn't know how to describe.

Nick Young's shooting action is a bit fun, but it doesn't hinder his shooting percentage, to say that it is not standard, among the six, Nick Young is the most non-standard.

Nick Young's shot was not fast, he was almost in a minute's rush, and the last shot was even a bit rushed.

The first time you participate in a shooting competition like the three-point contest, it is inevitable that you will not be comfortable. His shot was no different from the game.

However, everyone saw that Nick Young also got twenty points.

Deuced, actually split with Durant.

Thomas's face darkened.

The two of them were evenly divided, which meant that with two more players still not playing, Thomas had already been eliminated.

And there is a possibility of overtime for these two people. Because the remaining two are Curry and Thompson. It's as simple as that.

If you can still see the game figure in other people, you can see more of the feeling of the game in these two people. (To be continued.) )
