Chapter 159: Michael, you can only sit quietly and watch me pretend now!
Looking back, there was a mistake in the front court coordination of the sophomore team, and Francis's burst ball went straight out of bounds!
The difference in points on the field is only 7 points, and there are still more than two minutes left, so it is not impossible to chase it.
But it is obvious that Sun Hao's three-point shots, which are more difficult than the other, have already crushed their psychological defense!
And this has become the thing that determines the outcome of the game.
In the last two minutes, the sophomores defended desperately to win, but they didn't score again.
The two teams finally saluted a wave of mamba, and the score on the court was finally fixed at 99-93.
The 1st graders defeated the 2nd graders in overtime for the second year in a row!
And the interesting point is that the second-grade team opposite is last year's first-grade team!
Conservation of character? Or is it feng shui in turn?
People who have watched the game will not feel this way, because Sun Hao!
Sun Hao scored 41 points in the whole game!
At the end of the game, Sun Hao's new record was already printed on the LED screen at the scene.
41 points and 9 assists!
Although it's only a rookie game, Sun Hao, whether it's "crazy" or "day by day", he deserves it!
This can be seen in the reaction of the fans after the game.
They collectively stood up and gave Sun Hao cheers and applause.
Before this, they had great doubts about Sun Hao's vote king, but after this fight, they had a new understanding of Sun Hao's strength.
Sun Hao waved to the fans, and then saw that Curry had jumped onto the court.
And this guy is very good at finding the camera, and he has already pulled Sun Hao to pose!
This also shows Curry's mood now, this game is much more shocking than when Charlotte was at the beginning.
It is no exaggeration to say that before he only promised to train with Sun Hao in the summer, now he can't wait.
After the group photo, Sun Hao finally took off his shoes and signed them to Curry.
Sign to give James a signed jersey, and wait until his eldest nephew, the gift must be of the next grade!
Curry is really happy now, his young heart has already determined his heart to play like Sun Hao!
……
Sun Hao killed all sides in the rookie game, won the recognition of the fans on the spot, and also made the domestic fans boil again.
However, the Rookie Game was a hot-field event during All-Star Weekend, and the reaction from the American media was not as great.
They are more concerned about the individual events on the second day and the final All-Star Game.
When it comes to individual competitions, we have to mention the slam dunk contest, and when it comes to the slam dunk contest, we have to mention Carter.
The 2000 Slam Dunk Contest was a classic of classics.
At last year's All-Star Game, Carter performed five epic dunks, elevating windmills and 360° dunks to the realm of violent aesthetics.
It was the best in history until the epic 2015 confrontation between LaVine and Gordon came out.
However, Carter will not participate this year, and the team's sense of anticipation for the slam dunk contest is not so great.
In contrast, the three-point contest is more noteworthy.
Hao Sun, Ray Allen, Alan Houston, Peja Stojakovic, Nowitzki, Nash, Rashad Lewis, Pat Garriti.
A glance at the three-point contest roster shows that some of the top three-point shooters from beyond the three-point line this season are here.
Su Qun's previous "He is already the strongest active three-point shooter in the NBA? was once again excerpted by TNT.
This has also caused a lot of controversy on the side of American fans.
The pinnacle showdown between Sun Hao and Ray Allen will give the final answer to this controversy.
As well, the civil war between the Mavericks Trident.
There are also the new outside core of the Kings, Peja, who averages 20+ per game, and Alan Houston, the "mid-range king", are all top scorers with the strength to win the championship.
These are the highlights.
In last year's three-point contest, Hornacek scored only 13 points, setting a record low in the history of the three-point contest.
It's an embarrassing record, but just like stock trading, it's time to bottom out.
Unless Jordan announces his comeback for this year's three-point shootout.
Jordan is unlikely to be on the three-point game, but he's on the All-Star schedule.
On the second day of the game, when the fans were eager to try, the scene gave the live audience shots, and Jordan sat in the first row next to the playing field.
Although this does not seem strange.
I went to the United Center in Chicago to watch the game because it was his turf, and it was the same when he appeared here.
In January, he became a shareholder of the Wizards and became the team's president of basketball operations.
So it's normal to show up in your own stadium to watch the All-Stars.
However, his appearance still attracted the attention of reporters.
Although the league is in full bloom now, most of them are still very young, and the basketball god is a fan favorite even after retiring.
After asking a few trivial questions, a cliché was brought up.
"Michael, will you make a comeback?"
"I'm 99.9 percent not going back and I'm enjoying my retirement."
Jordan's answer is somewhat intriguing.
This sentence looks like an affirmative sentence, after all, there is almost no difference between 99.9% and 100%.
But a 0.1% chance means it's possible.
Sun Hao is a contestant in the three-point competition, and he is sitting not far from the next door.
Hearing Jordan's answer, he was a little uneasy.
He's making a bet with Jordan!
He's now won Rookie of the Month for three months in a row, and as long as he keeps that pace and doesn't get hurt, Rookie of the Year is a sure thing.
Jordan said this to miss the appointment!
No, he'll have to find an opportunity to step up.
"Charles, who do you think will be the three-point champion?"
On the commentary bench, the TNT Big Three, plus guest and former three-point winner Steve Kerr, the four have already started their daily pre-game predictions.
"Ray, there's no doubt he's already the all-time three-point shooter."
Barkley didn't hesitate to choose Ray Allen.
"Why didn't you choose Sun? He's the league's most three-pointers right now, is it because you've lost all the bets you've made with him? ”
Kenny Smith Plastic Brothers was the first to go online.
"No, no, the great Lord is not that kind of person, you know that the three-point contest requires a very strong mental quality, that man is just a rookie."
Barkley spoke stubbornly.
Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith were both instantly amused.
Although Sun Hao is a rookie, he has already contributed a lot of goals with a big heart.
Not to mention the previous one, the three consecutive three-pointers in the overtime of the rookie game yesterday made people understand the three-point shot to a new level.
"Reggie, what do you think?"
Kenny Smith turned to Miller.
"I'm bullish on Sun."
Barkley turned to look at him.
"Don't ask why, it's the shooter's intuition."
Although Miller has not yet retired, he has also shown excellent commentary talent.
Ernie Johnson and Smith also made their choices, and they are also as optimistic about Sun Hao as Miller.
3 to 1.
Barkley was surrounded by a ring.
The commentator talked eloquently, and the three-point contest on the field was about to start.
The current three-point contest rules are the most primitive version, with five points, two bottom corners, two forty-five degrees, and one arc top.
5 balls, 4 normal balls and 1 flower ball per point for a full score of 30 points.
The current three-point shooting record is held by Cavaliers legend Mark Price with 24 points.
This record is quite terrifying, you must know that the 27 points that Curry will shoot in the future will be on the premise of a full score of 34 points, and the two are not far behind.
The first to appear was Rashad Lewis.
Lewis is also a very storytelling character.
His high school career was incredibly talented, averaging 28.2 points and 12.4 rebounds per game, making the All-American First Team, and scoring 28 points in the McDonald's All-American High School Tournament.
This performance has attracted enough attention from the NBA, and he, like Kobe, chose to run directly as a high school student.
Because he wanted to play for his hometown team Houston, and Houston had three first-round picks at the time, his draft prediction was the 14th pick in the first round.
As a result, he successfully entered the small green house of that year's draft.
However, this advance made him nailed to the board of history for a long time.
The Houston team was stunned that he was not selected by the three draft picks, and he also fell all the way until the total 32nd pick in the second round before he was selected by the SuperSonics, becoming the lowest selected player in the NBA history!
At that time, Lewis cried directly at the draft site, and was made to cry by the Houston team.
However, it turns out that Houston management really has no vision.
Entering his third season in the NBA, Lewis has averaged 14.8 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, becoming the interior core of the SuperSonics.
And as a power forward, he hits a whopping 43.2% of his three-point shots, a very scary number.
There was a lot of pressure on the first player to come on, but Lewis did quite well.
He finished with a 17-point performance on 4-of-5 shooting, including the flower ball.
"A good game always starts with a good start."
Miller continued to show his talent in the commentary booth.
And he made it true, and after Lewis, Garrity and Peja both threw up 16 and 18 points in succession.
This puts a lot of pressure on the players who come out in the back.
Next up is Nowitzki.
"Watch me perform."
In the face of pressure, Nowitzki was very calm, and when he took off his coat, he didn't forget to turn his head and say to Sun Hao and Nash with a smile.
Nash and Sun Hao are still rookies on this field, but his words are old birds.
He had already competed in the three-point contest last year and had scored 18 points in the preliminaries.
Although his performance in the final was sluggish, he is stronger this year.
He's made a comeback for the championship this season, and as a veteran birdie, he also has to teach his two rookie brothers.
On the first point, he shot 4-of-5 from the field.
Last year, he started the preliminaries, and after gaining experience he slowed down his shooting a bit, which made him look more accurate.
In the end, he also threw a better result than last year, 19 points!
This gives him a good chance of reaching the final round.
After throwing the last ball, Nowitzki turned around in a dashing manner and made the "strong" pose used when filming the New Year congratulations of the "Silver Horn King", which made Sun Hao laugh.
But Nash, who was about to appear next, didn't laugh, because he was under a lot of pressure after this series.
It also turns out that not all players have a super big heart.
Under intense pressure, Nash's play was noticeably out of sorts, and he ended up scoring just 14 points.
That means he's out of the final.
After Nash, it's Sun Hao.
The three of them competed together, and the order of appearance was continuous.
"Take it easy."
Nowitzki slapped Sun Hao on the ass to release the pressure on him.
Sun Hao appeared on the stage, and he took a deep breath as he walked to the bottom corner.
Although it has been in the system countless times in a row, I have to say that it is completely different from the feeling of the game scene.
The commentary seat, the four major commentators also looked at Sun Hao intently.
This is the focus of their predictions.
"Toot!"
A whistle sounded on the sidelines, and Sun Hao took the ball and threw it.
He shoots quickly, which is also the characteristic of his shots after changing his shooting stance.
"Phew!"
"Phew!"
"Phew!"
But he didn't even make three shots in a row after he started.
Not only the first point, but the second point was similar, the first 10 points were thrown, and he only scored 4 goals to get 6 points.
"Guys, what am I talking about?!"
In the commentary seat, Barkley's nose was already cocked to the sky.
It turns out that he is the emperor who understands the ball!
Sun Hao is inexperienced, and he can't win this game!
"Slow down!"
At this moment, Nowitzki behind him shouted at Sun Hao.
He just threw too fast in front of him last year, and he forgot to share this experience with Sun Hao.
After Sun Hao heard Nowitzki's shout, he also realized that he was a little too fast.
He began to deliberately slow down his shots.
This adjustment worked wonders for him.
In the third point, he scored 4 goals in five goals, including the final flower ball, and the score came to 10 points!
And this good start has continued.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
……
The fans heard a series of broken nets, and in the end, the cheers of the fans could not be stopped.
At the last two points, he directly came to a 10-in-a-row!
The final score is out, 20 points!
Sun Hao, like Nowitzki last year, also came to suppress first and then promote!
And he raised a little high, and went directly to the first place in the preliminaries!
Nowitzki stood up to congratulate Sun Hao, and a hint of vinegar flashed uncontrollably in Nash's eyes.
When he shot in front, Nowitzki sat silently, but he didn't expect Sun Hao to be so active.
Sure enough, Nowitzki was still better for Sun Hao.
Nowitzki, if he had known what Nash was thinking, would have wanted to press him straight against the wall.
He was just passing on his limited experience to Sun Hao!
"Charles, what are you talking about?"
On the commentary bench, Kenny Smith turned his head and asked, a smile on his face that couldn't be contained.
Barkley couldn't wait to slap himself, he gave Sun Hao back with a mouthful of anti-milk!
"Ray will throw a higher score."
He continued to stubbornly speak.
Next up is Ray Allen.
Ray Allen didn't change his face when he came on the court, and it wasn't the first time he had participated in the three-point shooter.
In last year's three-point contest, he and Nowitzki reached the finals together, but his performance was similarly sluggish.
He performed better in the field this year, and the three-point game naturally came to the championship.
Like Nowitzki, he showed great touch from the first point, shooting 4-of-5.
And his final throw was the same as Nowitzki's, 19 points!
According to past data, 19 points can already win the three-point championship in ordinary years, and there are three 19+ in the preliminaries this year.
This wave of bottoming out in the three-point game is a bit fierce!
However, it was not everyone who was fierce, and Alan Houston and Pat Garriti, who appeared at the end, both played abnormally under pressure.
The two scored 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Not the protagonist, you want to come from behind and counterattack?
In this way, the preliminaries are over, and the list of finals is also released, Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Sun Hao.
"Charles, what do you think this time?"
Kenny Smith smiled and looked at his old buddy.
Sun Hao did have the kind of inexperience problem that Barkley said, but it seemed that he solved that problem with only two points.
"I still believe in Ray."
However, the great Lord Ba will not die if he does not reach the Yellow River, and he will not hit the south wall and will not look back.
"Dirk and Ray are both in the final for the second time, so they will adjust, but Sun is like them last year, and the pressure in the final is different."
Barkley continued his professional analysis.
In a sense, this analysis is indeed very professional.
Because it's really hard to imagine top shooters like Nowitzki and Ray Allen shooting under 13 points in last year's three-point contest.
The game was about to begin, and Nowitzki was the first to take the lead.
He wiggled his big ass before he got on the court, ready to go.
This eventually brought him good luck.
He threw an 18-point cast!
Like Ross Barkley said, the pressure in the final is completely different from the heats.
And the shooting intensity of the three-point contest is very high, and even if there is a break after a round, the hands will be unconsciously sore.
This is not only a minute of rapid fire in Sun Hao's system, but even ordinary people are deeply aware of it.
18 points is enough to win the championship!
Sun Hao and Nash raised their hands and gave Nowitzki a high-five.
This laid a solid foundation for the Mavericks to win the three-point contest!
Nowitzki was followed by Ray Allen.
Ray Allen started off with a dysfunctional game.
It was clear that Nowitzki's play was putting him under pressure.
But after that, from the third point, Ray Allen began to go on a rampage, and he scored 10 goals in a row!
In the end, his score came out, 20 points!
Ray Allen's expression was calm after the shot, but Cassel and Glenn Robinson behind him were not calm, and rushed up to him with a roar.
"Tell me louder, what did I just say?!"
Barkley also stood up in the commentary booth and excitedly slapped the table.
Ray Allen's wave is really giving him a long face!
And the key is 20 points!
The final can throw this score, the absolute king score.
Speaking of data, the three-point shooting contest has been held for a total of 14 times, and only 4 of them have won 20 points or more!
Ray Allen has already won the three-point contest!
Under heavy pressure, it is almost unrealistic for Sun Hao to throw a higher score than this.
Sun Hao was the last to appear.
Now be quiet.
Although Ray Allen's score looks like it's enough to secure him the three-point title.
But just like the game, no one knows what the final outcome will be until the last minute.
What's more, Sun Hao also played bravely in the second half of the preliminaries, throwing 10 consecutive scenes.
"Toot!"
The sideline whistle sounded, and Sun Hao's game began.
After learning from the experience of the preliminaries, he slowed down his shooting speed noticeably in the opening game.
"Huh!"
The first ball went into the net hollow.
"Huh!"
The second goal is still there!
"Huh!"
The third [Yoyo Reading] ball, and again!
……
Sun Hao's first point, all in the middle!
He really only used two points in the preliminaries, and he was already used to the three-point contest!
"God!"
Nowitzki couldn't sit still on the sidelines, and got up and raised his hand to cheer for Sun Hao.
He had a hunch that Sun Hao was going to do something big today!
His hunch was right, because Sun Hao scored 4 more goals in five goals because of Sun Hao's second point!
2 points down, out of 10 points, 9 points!
This is the same as in the preliminaries.
"Hey, Charles, are you okay?"
Kenny Smith was already smiling from ear to ear.
He turned his head to see that Barkley was already lying under the table.
This reaction ...... Very Buckley.
On the field, Sun Hao continued his crazy performance.
In the third point, he was still 4 out of 5.
And as the feeling came, his speed in the last two points increased significantly.
But this time, his shooting percentage didn't drop because of this!
After four points, he only missed 4 balls and scored 19 points!
Ray Allen behind him couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head at this time.
This score, coupled with Sun Hao's feeling, Sun Hao won the last point casually.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Hao.
Not only because Sun Hao has a chance to win this championship, but also because he has a chance to break the 24-point record set by Price 6 years ago.
Although this requires Sun Hao to shoot all the balls at the last point, it looks difficult.
Sun Hao started the last point shot.
He's still shooting fast.
After the rhythm was thrown, he didn't deliberately adjust.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
……
And with it, there are still familiar sounds.
Sun Hao's first four goals were all thrown!
His score has come to 23 points!
With just one last flower shot, he can break Price's record.
And because he accelerated his shooting behind him, he still had more than 5 seconds left!
It was at this time that Sun Hao made a move that everyone expected.
He turned to look at Jordan in the front row of the audience.
"Michael, look at me!"
Although the environment of the scene is very noisy, because it is on the same side, and the position where Jordan sits is not far from the court.
The god of basketball hears you!
Jordan looked at Sun Hao suspiciously, and then he saw Sun Hao pick up the ball...... Close your eyes!
Then, he just threw the last shot with his eyes closed.
The one that will determine whether or not you can break the NBA three-point contest record......
Everyone's eyes widened.
Even Barkley, who was in the commentary seat, opened his mouth wide.
This is a forced ...... Cracked.
"Huh!"
But the more ruthless reality is that Sun Hao threw the last flower ball into it with his eyes closed!
……
PS: I heard someone say I'm not long enough? So I'm getting longer again? Is there a reward? (?ω?)
