Chapter 520 - 50% Shooting Rate, The Most Incredible Three-Point Contest in History!
"This kid really knows how to play!"
This year's Goose City All-Star Game was very lively, so lively that even Jordan was quite surprised.
This time, he accepted the invitation of the league to be the guest of honor and present awards to the winner of this year's slam dunk contest.
Last year's All-Star Weekend two-day trick contest was considered the greatest trick game in NBA history.
On this day last year, the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest, and the Slam Dunk Contest ...... On this day, Yes won all the championships.
The second day of last year's All-Star Weekend was so exciting, and the second day of this year's All-Star Weekend was not directly attended by Yes.
Many people feel that the second day of this year's All-Star Weekend may be quite cold and lonely.
Even he thinks so.
In the current NBA, even if he doesn't want to admit it, Jordan must admit that the lack of Yes is like losing his soul.
It's just that no one thought that the Thunder fans in Goose City would be so rigid!
actually gave the vice president of the alliance a trick.
In the end, such a plot was staged!
As a person who was routinely passed by Jazz fans back then, Jordan felt that this time Thunder fans would play more than Jazz fans back then.
The dead bald head of the routine is now dumb and can't say what he suffers from.
According to some of his insider information, the dead bald head didn't know how many things he had broken lately.
His big Chicago villa is also being renovated now, and it seems that the dead bald head is also a fellow believer, and his temper is really not small.
After the Thunder fan incident at this year's All-Star Game, the world is waiting for the story that happened between the Thunder fans and Yes.
I just really didn't expect that the story between the two would unfold like this!
Yes wasn't intimidated by these crazy Thunder fans.
Instead, Yes used these Thunder fans to help Rondo put pressure on others and successfully helped Rondo win the Skill Challenge.
Jordan himself didn't expect so many surprises in the Skills Challenge.
Wade, Kidd, and Paul all had an accident in the Skills Challenge.
And that's why it's Rondo who is now the winner of the Skills Challenge, but all the focus is on Yes.
If it weren't for Yes's pressure on Rondo's other opponents with the help of the Thunder fans on the spot, how could Rondo win this year's championship!
You know, according to a lot of previous news, Chris Paul is on the training ground, and there are often times of less than 24 seconds for the whole process!
In other words, if it weren't for the accident, the winner of this year's Skills Challenge would be Paul!
And now, Paul is with the Thunder fans at the scene, gloomy!
I could only watch as Rajon Rondo proudly lifted the champion of the Skills Challenge from Yes's hands.
The award presenters of this year's three skills competitions were very interesting.
The Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest are both championship trophies awarded by Yes.
And the slam dunk contest is him.
The league wants to use his and Yes' influence to prop up a trick tournament that could be exciting this year.
But on the other hand, it is also a statement by the alliance.
According to the meaning of the league, the league should recognize the best player in skill and three-point shooting in history, and this is not controversial.
The championship award of the slam dunk contest was originally invited by the league to Carter, but in the end Carter refused.
Carter's failure to be selected as an All-Star this year is considered a huge injustice.
With Carter's rigid character, how could he possibly accept such an invitation.
After Carter declined the invitation, the League invited him.
According to his character, he was absolutely unwilling to be a spare tire for others in the past.
But this time, he did not refuse.
Because as long as he refuses, he knows very well who the alliance will find to replace.
No need to guess, yes!
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
Now he's standing with these Thunder fans in the room.
He and these Thunder fans at the scene, as well as many NBA players, want to suppress this already skyrocketing player during this year's All-Star Weekend!
Today, everyone has a total of two opportunities to suppress Yes, and the first time has failed.
Rondo managed to win the Skills Challenge.
It was a surprise, but it wasn't so much of a surprise to Jordan.
He has always felt that Rondo has grown up very well under Yes's training, he often watches supersonic games, and he knows very well what Rondo's status in the supersonic is.
And how is Rondo's performance?
Rondo did have big problems with his shooting, but he didn't have any problems with passing and handling.
Even his passing and ball handling can be called the best or even the top in the entire NBA!
As long as his shots can get in quickly, he can beat anyone but Yes in the Skills Challenge.
Yes's skill challenge is really unbelievable.
It's even more rebellious than his three-point shots.
So, in Jordan's view, it is not so unacceptable for Rondo to win the Skills Challenge.
There is a good possibility.
But...... The three-point contest is different!
There are so many surprises in the Skill Challenge.
And the three-point contest is not so much of a surprise!
Of course, it's not that there are no accidents at all, but because there are enough shooting opportunities, you can correct the accident yourself, as long as your three-point strength is strong enough.
Take a look at a few of the players who are now in the center of the court for this year's three-point shootout.
Hamilton of the Nuggets.
Daniel Gibson of the Cavaliers.
Peja of the Thunder.
Durant of the SuperSonics.
And the Heat's Capo.
All five of them on the pitch are marksmen!
Everyone's shooting prowess is above Durant!
More importantly, look at the teams that the other four people come from, except for Durant.
Hamilton is from the Nuggets, and the boss of the Nuggets is Anthony!
Daniel Gibson is from the Cavaliers, and the boss of the Cavaliers is James!
Jason Cappoo is from the Heat, and the boss of the Heat is Wade.
Peja is from the Thunder, and the boss of the Thunder is Chris Paul.
Anthony, Wade, James, Chris Paul, these four brothers again!
"It's really funny!"
Looking at the players around Durant on the court, Jordan didn't know what to say now.
Should I say that these four brothers are really powerful, or should I say that the alliance really knows how to play?
It should be said that David Stern is really good at playing!
The four people are the same as encircling Durant, how similar is this picture to the current situation in the league?
Before Yes came along, the league's younger generation was led by James, Anthony, Wade and Paul.
Now, the whole situation has changed!
The rise of Yes not only made him and the magician and others be frantically touched, but also moved his and the magician's interests.
In addition to him and the magician, the most passive interests of the alliance are these four young people!
They have changed from protagonists to supporting roles, but still supporting roles of that kind of tragedy!
It is said that Yes can become him and surpass him in the future.
So are James, Anthony, Wade and Paul going to be the characters of Malone, Barkley, Drexler, Reggie Miller and others?
Obviously, no one would be content to take on such a role!
Actually, it's not anyone, and Anthony doesn't really have much of an idea.
LeBron, Dwyane and Chris are his brothers.
Yes is also a person he respects and a friend of his?
He really didn't want Hamilton to come to the three-point contest.
But I really can't help it.
He needs to apologize for backstabbing LeBron in last year's All-Star Game.
And that's what LeBron is asking for to apologize for.
Last year's All-Star Game stabbed LeBron in the back for Yes, and it was indeed his fault.
It was he who did something sorry for his brother, and now that he has the opportunity to make amends, of course he can't refuse.
Anthony has also always believed that if it hadn't been for the backstabbing incident, his friendship with LeBron would have lasted forever.
He's having trouble in the league, and LeBron certainly won't sit idly by.
I'm sorry yes, but I can't help it, this time it's brothers first, and friends have to be left behind.
What's more, even if he doesn't send Hamilton out, Durant can't win the other three.
Durant didn't even shoot 30% from three-point range this season, and the reason why he was able to participate in this year's three-point contest was entirely because he shot the most.
He made the most shots and hit the most shots, so he could successfully participate in this three-point contest with this most hits.
It's just clear that the three-point contest is more about the shooting percentage than the number of shots!
Hamilton is shooting 44 percent from three-point range this season, averaging two shots per game.
This season, Daniel Gibson shot 44% from three-point range, averaged 9.2 shots per game, and averaged 4 shots per game, which is quite against the sky, and is the biggest favorite to win this year's three-point competition.
This season, Peja is shooting 44% from three-point range and is averaging 6.8 shots per game, averaging 3-of-3 shots per game, which is also quite good.
This season, Capono's three-point shooting rate is 48.3%, averaging 1.5 shots per game, and hitting 0.7 shots per game, which is a rebellious shooting rate, but this season's state is not very good, mainly psychological, and the current situation of the Heat makes it difficult for anyone to put all their minds into the game.
As a shooter, the most important thing in the three-point contest is to have no distractions, and now Capono can't do such distractions, which is why Gibson is the biggest favorite.
No matter who the biggest hit is this time, it has nothing to do with Durant anyway.
Such a group of players with a shooting percentage of 44% has a Durant who has a shooting rate of less than 30%, which is indeed quite 'eye-catching'.
"But ......"
The three-point contest was about to start, and listening to the Thunder fans who were crazy again, Jordan had a playful smile on his face.
Without a doubt, this is tonight's last chance against Yes!
For Durant, the pressure on him from Thunder fans is enormous.
It's the same for Peja and the others, after all, the last chance is really missed, and they really can't make a difference to the team boss on the sidelines.
There is no way to deal with the Thunder fans on the sidelines.
They're not Yes, they're still really worried that the Thunder fans will hit people!
Even the vice president of the alliance dares to do tricks, and the alliance has almost no punishment at all!
In the qualifiers for the three-point competition, the first to appear was Durant, who had the lowest three-point shooting percentage.
In the midst of overwhelming boos, Durant threw all 25 basketballs and ended up hitting 5 of them, 4 and a normal ball, a flower ball, and a six!
Listening to the boos of the fans in the stadium and looking at the hot score on the scoreboard, Jordan, who was originally watching the show, instantly turned black.
Because he could clearly feel that after Durant scored six points, all the cameras on the scene were focused on him.
Because the lowest score in the history of the NBA three-point contest is him, five points!
"Durant, this guy can't do it on purpose, right?!"
Scored six points on the three-point contest?
Rondo's face on the sidelines was terrifying, although this bewitching slut is so embarrassed now, he is very happy, but don't throw people on Yes's head!
Rondo glanced at the face beside him, still calm and expressionless.
The Thunder fans at the scene saw Yes's expression on the big screen, and the atmosphere they created reached the highest level of the night!
Obviously, Durant only scored six points, and in this case, the other players can't put Durant in last place, and can't help them humiliate Yes once?
Yes is bluffing and humiliating him now!
"Incredible atmosphere!"
The whole arena felt like it had exploded.
As the president of the alliance, David Stern finds it incredible!
Playing in such an atmosphere is a huge pressure for anyone.
It's okay if Durant gets a high score, but if he gets a high score and loses to a high score, it's nothing, but if such a low score can't overpower Durant, then it's really impossible to say.
The second to play was Hamilton of the Nuggets.
Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang!
"Five even iron?!"
Or is this one of the most consistent shooters in that league?
Three ordinary balls, one flower ball, five points?!
David Stern and Jordan on the sidelines were stunned!
When the Thunder fans at the scene saw this score, the atmosphere that had been explosive rose again!
The entire Ford Center was turned into a pressure cooker!
Daniel Gibson, who came out in third, scored three points in the first four points, and hit five consecutive goals in the fifth point to score nine points.
This score ...... It's still miserable!
But James on the sidelines actually had a feeling of relief.
"As long as the next Peja and Capono can score more than 7 points, tonight will be considered a little successful!"
7 points for Peja and Capo, it's not difficult!
It's just that soon, James didn't have any such thoughts.
The expression on his face was no longer a sigh of relief, but an incredible look at the preliminary rankings of the three-point competition!
First place, Capono, 16 points
Second place, Gibson, 9 points.
Third place, Durant, 6 points.
Fourth, Hamilton, Peja, 5 points!
"Jordan's five-point that is known to be rare in 10,000 years, appeared twice tonight?!"
"Peja on his Thunder home court, like Paul before him, made a huge turnover, and collapsed under huge pressure?!"
"Durant actually made it to the finals?!"
Durant not only entered the finals, but when the finals of the three-point contest ended and Durant topped the list with a score of 24 points, the entire Ford Center was silent again!
Durant 24 points!
20 points for Capono!
Gibson 17 points!
Looking at the live rankings, both Barkley and Kenny Smith thought they were wrong!
Can Durant counterattack?
"This is the most incredible three-point contest in NBA history for All-Star Weekend!"
While Barkley was cheering wildly, Kenny Smith was in a daze as he watched the series of magic numbers!
"5 of 25 shots in the qualifiers, in the finals, all of them were added up, and the percentage of shots was made!"
Coincidental?
Is it really a coincidence?!
