Chapter 714: The Second Day of the All-Star Game
After the first day of the 2012~2013 NBA All-Star Weekend.
It's time for the second day of All-Star Weekend, which fans are looking forward to.
Many fans, especially the home fans at Madison Square, are looking forward to this event because of Yi Jianlian's participation in this year's Skills Challenge!
However, the first event of the second day of the All-Star is not the Skills Challenge, there is still a "Shooting Star" competition to be held before the Skills Challenge!
In response to a major change in the All-Star Championship, that is, the East-West confrontation mode, the Shooting Star Contest is also specifically for the two teams in the East and the two teams in the West to compete together.
Of course, although the format has changed, the way to win the game has not changed, and it is still the team that can complete all the shots in the shortest time to win!
Each team consists of three players, including a current NBA player, a WNBA player, and a retired NBA player.
The two NBA players representing the West in the Shooting Stars contest are Chris Paul of the Clippers and Westbrook of the Thunder, both of whom are also members of the All-Star Game.
The WNBA players representing the Western Conference are Maya Moore of the Minnesota Bobcats, a member of the London 2012 Olympic gold medal and 2011 WNBA championship, and Tina Thompson of the Seattle Storm, who is even more famous as the WNBA's all-time scoring leader. In addition, the two NBA legends who represent the Western Conference are "Alien" Sam Kassel and "Mr. Key" Robert Horry.
Combined, the two men played 31 seasons in the NBA and won 10 NBA championships. Kassel and Horry were teammates during the Rockets' championship-winning years.
The two NBA players representing the East in this shooting star contest are Harden of the New York team and Lopez of the Nets, both All-Star players.
Although Harden was not selected as a starter, he was still selected to the bench!
The two WNBA women representing the Eastern Conference are Sven Cash of the Chicago Sky, a three-time WNBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist!
And then there's Tammy Kacquez, who led the Indiana Maniatures to the 2012 WNBA Finals and won the Finals MVP!
The two former NBA legends who represent the East are Margo Sibers, who is worth mentioning, he is the shortest player in NBA history, only 160cm tall, but he has played in the NBA for 14 seasons, which is really not easy!
Then there's Hall of Famer Dominic Wilkins, a nine-time All-Star with a career total of 26,668 points.
His showdown with Michael Jordan in the slam dunk contest is still a classic!
The four teams took turns playing, and in the end, on the Eastern side, Harden's preliminaries: 50 seconds, and Lopez's preliminaries: 1:07.
On the Western side, Paul scored 37.9 seconds in the preliminaries, and Westbrook scored 29.5 seconds in the preliminaries.
The two teams combined their time to end up with less time in the West than in the East, and they won the preliminaries of the Shooting Star to earn 20 points for the West.
It's just that in the finals with Westbrook representing the West and Harden representing the East, it was the Harden team that won the final victory!
They had a combined time of 1 minute and 29 seconds, and Westbrook ran out of time without finishing the shot.
Harden was able to pull back a sentence for the East, and he also heard the loud cheers from the scene when he was playing at home.
Of course, this cheer was not only due to the joy of his victory, but also because of the upcoming skills match, which is the event that most fans are looking forward to.
Everyone wants to know if Yi Jianlian can win this challenge game and become the first person in NBA history to win the championship of the three challenge seasons!
When Yi Jianlian appeared, he naturally had all kinds of cheers, and he almost overturned the entire stadium!
The game didn't have too much friction, and it started directly!
The results of the first round are announced......
East: New York Knicks' Yi Jianlian preliminaries time of 29.3 seconds, Hawks' Jeff Teague preliminaries time of 49.4 seconds, Pistons' Brandon Knight preliminaries time of 32.2 seconds.
West: The Rockets' Jeremy Lin had 35.8 seconds in the preliminaries, the Spurs' Tony Parker had 48.7 seconds in the preliminaries, and the Trail Blazers' Damien Lillard had 28.8 seconds in the preliminaries.
In the final trick preliminaries, the eastern side shared 1 minute 50.9 seconds, while the western side shared 1 minute 53.3 seconds. With a three-second advantage, the East finally scored 30 points.
However, for the fans of the New York team, the victory in the East is not the reason why they are happy, they want to see Yi Jianlian win the championship!
Of course, the results did not disappoint them!
Yi Jianlian entered the finals and faced off against Lillard.
Although Lillard is only a rookie, his skills are really good, and he completed the whole task in no time, and the final time was only 29.8 seconds!
This is quite an achievement.
Although Yi Jianlian also completed such a performance in the first round, but in the finals, the opponent is performing so well, it is inevitable that there will be no nervousness!
So the scene can be described as silent.
These guys are silently cheering for Yi Jianlian in their hearts.
You have to win!
And it turns out that Yi Jianlian really doesn't know what it means to be nervous, and he completed the entire task with a score of 28.4 seconds!
Thus won the final championship!
It was also after he was confirmed that he became the champion that the whole scene was suddenly drowned out by cheers!
History is born!
The first player in the NBA to complete the Grand Slam of the three major Challenge Tournaments has appeared!
Bill Wharton looked at Yi Jianlian on the field, and couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is really a monster!" After the trick game, the Eastern Conference points were 40-30.
In addition, it is also worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian added 10 points after winning the final, and the eastern points advantage is more obvious!
After the skills competition, it came to the slam dunk contest, this year's slam dunk contest, if you only look at the list! Gerard Green, Terrence Rose, James White, Eric Bledsoe, Jeremy Evans and the Nuggets' Farid ...... These names can be said to be very familiar.
In the NBA's top 10 balls, you can often see these guys complete dunks!
It can be said that they are all guys with amazing physical fitness!
The only regret is that Westbrook, who has previously publicly expressed his intention to participate in the slam dunk game, did not appear in the final list. And Paul George, who was selected as an All-Star, also gave up the opportunity to play again, but he will compete in the three-point contest.
Jeremy Evans, who won the title in 2012, will be on his way to defending his title. The Jazz youngster won the 2012 slam dunk contest by beating the likes of Battinger, Paul George and Derrick Williams.
But this time he wants to defend his title, it won't be easy!
Because known as the "strongest dunking player in history", the Knicks guard swingman James White also participated in this slam dunk contest, although the 2.01-meter-tall swing man is only a marginal person in the league, but his dunk talent is breathtaking, his famous dunk action includes free throw line jumping two-handed dunk, free throw line jumping windmill slam dunk, free throw line jump crotch change hand dunk, 720 ° crazy dunk and so on.
Knowing that he was going to be participating in the slam dunk contest, James White looked very excited and excited, claiming that Terrence Ross and Gerald Green, as well as himself, would give the fans a real slam dunk show.
"This slam dunk contest is going to be a classic because of our existence, mainly because of my existence!"
White told reporters.
It's just clear that he doesn't have defending champion Evans in mind.
The game starts soon!
Jazz Jeremy Evans preliminaries results: 47 points in the first deduction, 43 points in the second deduction, Clippers Eric Bledsoe preliminaries results: 39 points in the first deduction, 50 points in the second deduction, Nuggets Kenneth Farry preliminaries results: 39 points in the first deduction, 50 points in the second deduction.
Pacers Gerard Green preliminaries: 50 points in the first game, 32 points in the second, Raptors Terrence Rose in the preliminaries: 50 points in the first game, 49 points in the second, and Knicks James White (preliminaries scores: 45 points in the first game, 32 points in the second.
Judging from this result, White, who spoke wildly before the game, did not complete any decent performance in the slam dunk contest! It even dragged the team back!
After the whole game, he also unconsciously showed embarrassment!
At the end of the two rounds of dunks in the preliminaries, the total score of the three players in the East is 258 points, and the total score of the three players in the West is 268 points, so that the West team wins the preliminary round of the slam dunk contest and gets 50 points.
In the end, Terrence Ross and Jeremy Evans entered the dunk finals for the East and West respectively, and Rose won the slam dunk contest with his outstanding performance, earning 55 points for the East team.
The Eastern Force will further expand the advantages of the whole army!
After the slam dunk contest, it came the last event of the second day of the All-Star Championship, the three-point shooting contest!
Novak, Paul George and Cavaliers core Irving will represent the Eastern Conference; The players in the West Division are: Ryan Anderson, Matt Bonner and Stephen Curry.
Kevin Love, the 2012 three-point contest winner, did not compete, and Ryan Anderson, who was defeated by him at the time, made a comeback. Anderson's three-point shooting percentage of 39.7 percent ranks 27th in the league. But it's worth mentioning that he made a total of 147 three-pointers, ranking second in the league.
The number one is still Yi Jianlian!
It's just that Yi Jianlian doesn't want to participate in this event again, he has already won the championship of this event!
Novak made the roster, shooting 44.4 percent from three-point range, the third highest in the league, down from 47.2 percent last season. However, many people in the industry still believe that Novak has the strength to win the three-point contest.
Curry has shot three-pointers to rank third in the league, and his shooting rate is as high as 44.9%, second only to the Hawks' Korver, who ranks second in the league and is another strong contender for the championship.
The race is on soon!
Paul George of the Pacers: 10 points, Steve Novak of the Knicks: 17 points, Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers: 18 points.
Warriors' Stephen Curry preliminaries: 17 points, Hornets' Ryan Anderson preliminaries: 18 points, Spurs' Matt Bonner preliminaries: 19 points.
The three players in the West scored a total of 54 points in the preliminaries, and the three players in the East scored 45 points in the preliminaries. The West Force won 40 points.
The final was between Bonner and Irving, with Irving scoring 23 points and Bonner scoring 20
Irving managed to win the three-point contest and lead the Eastern Conference points!
The second day of the game was obviously very enjoyable to watch, and there was a lot of talk after the game.
"Wow, Yi really won the championship of the challenge, this guy is too good! Can anyone tell me what else is going to stop this guy! ”
"I've always thought that Yi would win the final challenge championship, but when I really saw him get it, I still felt incredible, really, this is really incredible, what the hell is this guy?"
"Yi is completing things that seem incredible to others, but they are very easy for him! I don't know how to describe Yi Jianlian in my eyes now...... Let's put it this way, if Michael Jordan is a god, then now Yi is also becoming a god! ”
Of course, the discussion is more about Yi Jianlian, after all, this guy has become the first guy in NBA history to win the three major challenge championships!
is still the same sentence, Yi Jianlian is interpreting his greatness all the time!
In addition, there are two guys that have made many fans talk about so far.
One is Irving in the East and Lillard in the West.
"These two newcomers are amazing, I really can't imagine what these two newcomers will grow up to be in the future!"
"What else is there to say, this All-Star Weekend, everybody will contribute to Yi, that's for sure, because he's done an incredible accomplishment, and after Yi, all I can say is that the biggest surprise for me was Irving and Lillard, these two guys are amazing!"
"Although they didn't enter the NBA in the same year, in the Rookie Game, in today's three challenge events, they are all eye-catching, their fundamentals are really solid, and their potential is also amazing to everyone!"
Irving won the three-point contest, and Lillard could have won the skills competition if he hadn't faced Yi Jianlian......
In fact, Lillard's performance is good enough, if it weren't for Yi Jianlian's better performance, then this championship would have been Lillard's!
Everyone believes this.
In the finals of the skills competition, Lillard has actually put enough pressure on Yi Jianlian, and in the first year of entering the league, he can maintain an excellent performance in the competition with Yi Jianlian, such a mentality is also what an excellent star should have, and now Lillard has such ability!
……
In the fans' unfinished business, the All-Star Weekend also ushered in the last day, and it is also the most exciting part of the All-Star Game - the All-Star Game!
