February 15th.

That is, the second day of All-Star Weekend.

The league ushered in a day with a richer competition program.

Shooting Stars, Skill Challenge, Three-Point Shooting Contest and the dunk contest that many fans have been thinking about will all take place today.

It is also worth mentioning that this year's challenge has a new content, called the horse game, which is the so-called imitation game, where the three participants imitate each other's way of scoring goals, and if the imitation is successful, the game continues, and if the imitation fails, a letter is added, until a player is eliminated after the horse spelling, and finally the championship is left, which is the first time that the NBA All-Star Weekend has compared this project, well, and the only time.

The first to start is "Shooting Stars".

The final champion was the Detroit team, who took 58.4 seconds, and the Phoenix local team, who also reached the final, almost won the victory, their first five points were directly hit, but unfortunately the final three points in the middle circle took them too much, and finally exceeded 1 minute, unfortunately lost.

Followed by the shooting star is the skills challenge, and this year's contestants can also be described as star-studded, with the champion Xiu Rose, the FMVP Tony Parker, and the new All-Star Devin Harris, and the biggest all-star jewel Mo Williams.

The winner was Derrick Rose, who showed mature ball skills in his rookie year, and finally beat Devin Harris to win the trophy with a time of 35.3 seconds.

Williams was a little disappointed, just a little bit short of making it to the final.

He was indeed a little unlucky this year, and he was a little bit worse at everything, such as this skills challenge, and then being selected as an All-Star......

The third challenge is the three-point shooting contest that has attracted more and more attention in recent years, in this challenge, a lot of stories have been born, not to mention Larry Bird's trash talk, and the embarrassing 5-point minimum record of "Flyer" Jordan, which can make the invincible Joe who has played all over the league on the vertical and horizontal court deflated, and it is estimated that only this challenge can do it.

However, compared to the Skills Challenge, not all of the players who participated in the three-point shooting contest this time were famous.

The biggest name is Lewis of the Magic team, and Mr. Billion's three-point ability is undoubted, and it is not surprising that he appeared in the three-point shooting contest as a draft pick.

His opponents are the Hawks' Mike Bibby, the Heat's Cook, the Pacers' Granger and the Raptors' Capono.

Capono is the defending champion of the tournament, who won the tournament last year and made it to the final this year, but unfortunately he did not play well in the final, scoring only 14 points.

Lewis also made it to the final, scoring 15 points from his solid performance, which is more than Cappano.

Unfortunately, Cook also hit 15 points to send the game into overtime.

Lewis's overtime feeling completely disappeared and he only scored a pitiful 6 points in the end, but Cook had no pressure and naturally played well, easily scoring 19 points and being crowned the champion of three-point shooting.

Sure enough, the three-point shots with the library in the name are very fierce!

Eddie Curry: ???

Marcus Camby: ???

OK, when I didn't say it!

"Hey, Yi, how about it, do you think this three-point shooting contest is exciting?"

There was still a horse game on the field, Yi Jianlian didn't have to prepare for the time being, Rachel ran over from nowhere, took the photographer, and started the interview seriously.

I haven't seen this girl Yi Jianlian for a long time, and I heard Marx Pierce say that she seemed to be going back to school to finish her graduation thesis or something, and now she is obviously busy and coming back.

"Excellent!"

"If the league were to invite you to the three-point shooting contest next season, would you participate?"

This girl, as soon as she came back, she wanted to talk to me, Yi Jianlian pouted, it seemed that she was the first to release the news last year, and he really participated in the dunk contest this year, okay! This is starting to worry about encouraging him to participate in the three-point shooting contest again.

However, this is also normal, Yi Jianlian's ability to shoot three-pointers has improved by leaps and bounds this season, he didn't shoot a three-point shot last season, and he has made 87 three-pointers so far this season, and the shooting rate is not bad, still maintained at 43.7%, this number is already the league's first-class three-point shooter, no wonder Rachel asks so.

"If the alliance invites me, I think I'll participate!"

Well, Yi Jianlian still said that, he didn't refuse these seasons very much in his heart, anyway, they were all playing, if the league sent an invitation, he really didn't need to refuse.

"Hee-hee, next question, I heard that you're in love, is this true?" Rachel gets the answer she wants and grins as she moves on to the next question.

"Hmm...... It's my turn! ”

The taste of the problem suddenly became heavier, and Yi Jianlian saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly retreated.

Of course, the horse game on the court is indeed over, and Durant, as the winner, is already preparing to receive the award, and Yi Jianlian should indeed play.

Rachel didn't have time to stop it, so she had to ask the cameraman to save the tape she had just had.

"Uh-oh-oh!"

Durant finished receiving the award, and the cheers on the scene suddenly became louder, which made him feel a little unhappy when he left the court with the trophy, I am also a champion anyway, respect me, okay?

"Easy easy!"

"Dwight, Dwight, Dwight!"

"Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!"

"Nate, Nate, Nate!"

Unfortunately, the shouts of the audience proved everything, and all they had been waiting for tonight was the slam dunk contest!

And now, the dunk contest is finally about to begin!

The cheers one after another, the on-site commentary first introduces tonight's judges - the judges of the slam dunk contest generally invite some well-known people in the circle, such as some retired celebrities, or some celebrities who particularly like the NBA. Sometimes, NBA officials will invite some people to be judges for some special gimmicks, such as the 07 slam dunk contest jury of five people are called stronger than the draft, that year the league invited Jordan, Kobe, Carter, Julius Irving and Wilkins......

Don't give the contestants a way to live at all!

And the players don't dare to question their scores, in case these five come to me and I will deduct it for you to see, you will know where the difference is, how embarrassing it is!

This can be regarded as an extreme of the official invitation to judges.

And this year's 5 judges are at the other extreme, and they are basically not famous.

Obviously, in the eyes of the league, the gimmick of Howard vs Yi Jianlian is enough, so there is no need to arrange some special people to be judges to steal the limelight!

It's the right choice. It can be heard from the cheers that greeted Rudy Gay, Nate Robinson, Dwight Howard and Yi Jianlian when they appeared, and this year's slam dunk contest made everyone full of expectations from the selection of candidates.

Especially the appearance of Howard and Yi Jianlian, the cheers of the entire stadium were almost a sea, and the on-site commentators couldn't hear what they were talking about.
