Chapter 638: And This Kind of Operation? (First update!) )
Around the obstacles, Curry's speed was obviously a little faster than Tang Tian's, but when it came to the passing link, Curry made a passing error.
He passed the ball and turned and walked away, only to have the ball bounce off the edge of the hole.
He had no choice but to go and come back.
But the next scene was even more unexpected.
Tang Tian's first pass actually bounced off the edge!
The two preliminaries and the semi-finals did not make a mistake, but they all made mistakes in the same place!
Thankfully, both men made a hole-in-one second pass.
This twist and turn put the two on the same running line again.
Two men go to the basket at about the same time, then rush to the front court at the same time to pick up a three-pointer, and then shoot at the same time.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
And what's even more incredible is that the balls of two people fall into the net bag right next to each other at the same time!
Because it was almost close, the fans didn't know who was the first to score the ball at once!
The scene entered the video replay!
Tang Tian and Curry couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
This is probably the most incredible Skill Challenge in its many years!
Live replays showed that it was Curry's ball that was the first.
The two shot almost at the same time, and when they only had one chance, Curry's absolute speed was faster than Tang Tian's.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
The referee did not declare Curry the winner, but instead announced that the two sides would go to overtime.
Overtime in the Tricks Match? And this kind of operation?
The fans didn't understand, and neither did Tang Tian and Curry, so they approached the referee to ask.
It turns out that the Skill Challenge has a rule that is rarely noticed.
Because before this edition, the skills challenge was decided by fighting time.
One of the problems that arises is that the time is very close.
So the rule is that if the two players are within 0.1 seconds of each other, there will be an extra game.
Originally, this year's All-Star Game should be systematized, and the skills challenge has also been changed to one-on-one PK, and there is no more timing, and this rule should also be abolished.
But the person in charge of this work did not notice this rule, and directly copied and pasted it, and did not cancel it.
So in the situation where the goals are scored almost at the same time, the referee can only judge according to the rules that the two sides will play overtime.
In other words, it was a staff error that led to a playoff.
The result drew a wave of boos from the audience, and it was to be expected that most of the staff in charge of the project would be cold.
But the game has to go on.
After communication, both Curry and Tang Tian agreed to an extra game.
Originally, it didn't matter if they won or lost, it was nothing more than running again, and they didn't care about winning or losing, so they didn't mind.
The emotions of the fans in the stadium gradually settled down, and after knowing that there was going to be overtime, their emotions were renewed.
It could be the first and only overtime game in NBA history.
They are witnessing history!
Tang Tian and Curry are back to square one again.
"Toot!"
The whistle blew on the sidelines, and the two rushed out.
In exactly the same process as before, Curry still reached the passing point half a body ahead of Tang Tian.
And this time he didn't make another mistake and made a successful pass.
Tang Tian was late, but his pass was not wrong.
Both of them are superstars, and their ability to adjust is still very strong.
Curry's advantage is even more pronounced this time, and considering the speed of his shot, he has a big chance of winning.
However, it was also at this time that the accident came out again, Curry did not adjust the center of gravity when he made a layup, and used the board after jumping.
As a result, the ball spun around the basket in a big circle.
Tang Tian came over to put the basket again at this time, but he scored first.
After finishing the blue, Tang Tian sprinted in a straight line, and he in turn led Curry two positions to the frontcourt.
He picked up a three-pointer shot.
As long as he throws in, he will probably win this game.
At this moment, the scene was in an uproar.
As soon as Tang Tian was about to make a shot, he saw a ball flying overhead.
Curry, like Harden in front, shot directly in the midfield!
Tang Tian's ball shot, but the speed was not as fast as Curry's.
"Huh!"
Curry's ball went into the frame first.
Tang Tian's ball was a beat slower and followed into the frame.
But by this time, the real victory was decided, and Curry killed the game with a long-range three-pointer.
After the game, the cheers from the audience lasted for a long time.
It's definitely the most exciting and spectacular skills challenge they've ever seen.
Tang Tian didn't care too much about winning or losing, so he didn't care about it after losing.
And if it weren't for the staff's mistakes, Curry would have won him up front.
This kind of ability to enter, he should win.
He turned to congratulate Curry, who had won the Skills Challenge for the second time.
"It's luck, you're playing better than me."
Curry is very modest, but what he said is not wrong, he made a mistake in overtime but Tang Tian did not.
Although he is good at going far, no one can guarantee that he will go far.
The skills challenge ended with a bang, and Curry also gave a speech after receiving the trophy.
“…… Great games need great opponents, that's what Don said before, and it fits here too. ”
In his testimonial, Curry did not forget to bring Tang Tian.
There was a lot of phone calls between the two.
Thompson shook his head helplessly from the sidelines.
Originally, he and Tang Tian were brothers, and Curry and Tang Tian had a good relationship, so they were definitely the best trio.
It's a pity that Tang Tian is not interested in this.
After the Skills Challenge, there are two more highlights, three-pointers and dunks.
The first to start is the three-point contest, with this year's Splash Brothers and last year's defending champion Moreau both favourites.
And like other tournaments, this year's three-point contest has also been restructured, changing one of the five points to all the balls.
This means that the total score of the three-point contest has changed from 30 points to 34 points.
This kind of reform is still very interesting.
In the preliminaries, the Splash Brothers showed good hands, scoring 24 and 23 points respectively to advance to the finals.
Defending champion Morrow had some pity, he shot 22 points, but was eliminated by Irving, who scored 23 points.
The final was played between the Splash Brothers and Owen.
Curry showed absolute dominance in the finals, hitting 13 consecutive shots and scoring 27 points to tie Tang Tian's previous record and successfully win the championship.
Curry has won two individual championships in a row!
However, it was at this time that many fans re-realized how terrifying Tang Tian was at the beginning.
You must know that Curry scored 27 points with the addition of four more flower balls, and Tang Tian threw it so hard at the beginning.
In the final slam dunk contest, Zach LaVine became a blockbuster and became the new slam dunk king with an absolute advantage.
After the game, fans were buzzing on social media.
They were thinking that if Tang Tian also participated in the next two individual competitions, the competition would definitely be unprecedentedly fierce.
Then this year's All-Star Game is definitely a classic among the classics.
PS: Ask for a monthly pass!
