Chapter 223: I Don't Want to Win Either (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
The rules of the three-point contest are very simple, players shoot at five points, two symmetrical at the bottom corner, two at a 45-degree angle, and one at the top of the arc, each shooting point has five basketballs, of which 4 balls are worth one point, and the final flower ball is called "money ball" and counts as two points, out of 30 points.
The match is normally divided into two rounds.
Each player has one chance per round, and the top three players in the first round advance to the finals. The second round is played in the same way as the first round.
In the event of a tie in the finals, an additional match will be played until a ranking is reached.
Stojakovic, who has won two consecutive three-point titles, will become only the third player to win three consecutive three-point titles since the 1986 three-point contest, the first two being Big Bird Bird and Craig Hodges.
Cameron Anthony chose Stojakovic without hesitation this time.
"Are you sure you don't pick your teammate Leonard for this round?" Lu Fei asked him seriously, lest he regret it, and after getting Anthony's affirmative answer, he looked at LeBron James.
James hesitated, among the remaining players he is more optimistic about Lewis and Korver, Billups and Mobley are not good at three-point shooting, although their shooting percentage is okay, but compared to Korver and Lewis who rely on shooting to eat, the shooting percentage will still be so bad.
As for Leonard, even Anthony is not optimistic about this teammate, what kind of fun is he going to do!
"I'm going to pick Korver." After much consideration, James chose Korver because he thinks Lewis' form has declined significantly since he left for the Grizzlies.
"You've chosen all the good ones, and you're left with Lewis...... But you know that I don't have a good relationship with Lewis, so I'd better choose Leonard......" Lu Fei reluctantly chose Leonard of the Nuggets.
First up was the preliminaries, and the first to play was the Rockets' "Old Cat" Mobley, who scored 13 points. The second player was the supersonic Korver, who scored 19 points. The third player was Billups of the Pistons, who scored 12 points. The Nuggets' Leonard played fourth and scored 18 points. The SuperSonic's Lewis scored 16 points in his fifth appearance.
Lu Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was no deviation from what he expected.
Defending Stojakovic was the last to play, scoring three points for his first cart, five points for his second, five points for his third, two points for his fourth and six points for his fifth, resulting in a game-high 21 points in the preliminary round.
After qualifying, Stojakovic, Kovre and Leonard reached the final.
James smiled: "Lu, it seems that the luck of the two of us is really good, if any of us choose Lewis, I'm afraid that we will have to wait to pay for it now." ”
When the final began, Leonard was the first to come out and shoot 18 points, which was the same as his first-round score, which was decent, but it was clearly much weaker than Korver's 19 points in the preliminaries, and Stojakovic's 21 points in the preliminaries.
Lu Fei sighed, "It seems that I am really going to lose." ”
Who knew that Korver only shot 15 points when he came on the court......
James suddenly had a black line on his face, and he even wondered if Lu Fei had colluded with Korver to cheat money!
Stojakovic came on and scored 11 points in the first three carts.
Carmelo Anthony grinned: "It seems that my luck today is not so bad, I have a ...... with interest in this game"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Stojakovic, who was on the field, only scored one point in the fourth rook!
It took 12 points to score after four cart shots, and the last cart was all shot before Stojakovic could tie with Leonard.
That's embarrassing......
Stojakovic hit the first four balls steadily, but unfortunately missed the target when he only needed to hit the last flower to tie Leonard into the playoffs, and finally scored only 16 points, and failed to defend the title.
"&%*#¥," Anthony cursed in a low voice.
Lu Fei spread his hands, looking innocent.
"I was originally going to return the money to you if I lost, who would have thought that Leonard, who was the weakest in the selection, would actually win, really...... Otherwise, let's continue the slam dunk contest, okay? ”
James and Anthony glanced at each other, and there was a little bit of a lack of wanting to play in their eyes.
It's a fucking evil today!
If the skills competition is Lu Fei's strength to win the money back, then no one expected that Leonard would win the championship in the end in the three-point competition, not to mention that Leonard is Anthony's teammate, what level of this guy Anthony doesn't know?
"Or ......"
Anthony originally wanted to say forget it, who knew that Lu Fei directly grabbed the conversation: "If it doesn't work, I don't want this money, just bet on this kind of thing just to have fun, in fact, the slam dunk contest is different from the three-point contest, the three-point contest relies on feel and luck, and the dunk contest is more about excellent physical fitness, who loses and wins to see who can jump......"
Lu Fei has already said it so tactfully, James and Anthony are not easy to refuse, and besides, they don't believe that they will continue to be like this today.
"Okay......"
"It's better for you to choose first, I know."
Lu Fei immediately said: "But I have won 20,000 US dollars now, it is not enough for you to win back and press 5,000 by winning this game, it is better to press 10,000 for each of you, I will press 20,000, if any of you win, I will return 20,000 US dollars to you, how about it?" Actually, I'm just trying to find a way to get this money back to you......"
James and Anthony looked at each other again, and they both felt like their eyelids were jumping.
But at this time, he had already boarded the thief ship, and it would be quite faceless to go directly like this.
After a while, the award ceremony of the three-point contest ended, and Lu Feimei watched Leonard get off the field with the trophy, followed by a series of song performances.
Finally, the much-anticipated slam dunk contest is here.
The big screen shows the list of players in this slam dunk contest:
Jason Richardson (Golden State Warriors)
Ricky Davis (Boston Celtics)
Chris Anderson (Denver Nuggets)
Fred Jones (Indiana Pacers)
When each player plays, the screen will play a dunk highlight of their respective careers, which makes the fans restless, although after experiencing the dunk bombardment of yesterday's rookie challenge, I think today's dunk contest may not be more exciting than the dunk of the rookie challenge, but the fans are still looking forward to the performance of several dunks.
Especially Jason Richardson, like Stojakovic in the three-point contest, if he wins the dunk king today, he will also be the dunk king for three consecutive years.
This will be the first person to make NBA history!
Anthony, who originally wanted to choose Richardson, immediately changed his decision after thinking of Stojakovic in the previous game: "I want to firmly support my teammates, I choose Chris in this game!" ”
Then he stood up and Anderson, the birdman on the sidelines, shouted, "Chris, come on!" ”
Chris Anderson was moved.
Of the remaining three, Ricky Davis and James don't have a good relationship, and he doesn't seem to have heard of another Pacers player, so James chose Richardson, who has already won two dunk titles.
"You've picked all the good ones...... Lu Fei let out a long sigh, "I don't want to win anyway, so I'll pick one at random, I'll choose ......"
"Fred Jones!"
