"Dinah, what are you doing dressed like this? Aren't you going to cheer me on? ”

"Of course, Dinah is going to cheer Uncle on and kill that round-headed guy."

"I'm asking, why are you wearing this jersey when you're cheering me on?"

"This is the jersey of the God of Dunk! Dinah asked the clerk! Dinah wears the jersey of the god of dunks to cheer for her uncle, don't Chinese all find powerful people to bless themselves? Isn't Dinah smart! ”

"Yes, Dinah is very smart, but your uncle's opponent today is the god of dunk!"

“……”

“……”

……

After tinkering for a long time, Liu Mang went to the Nike store in the stadium to buy a Dominic Wilkins No. 21 retro jersey, Wilkins' jersey is still one of the hottest jerseys in Atlanta, the huge jersey is put on the little Lori, buy a small flower rope as a belt, and simply wear it as a long skirt.

Alexya and Levia on the side snickered and watched the two living treasures tossing in the parking lot for a long time, Liu Mang was angry, the two women knew that Dinah was wearing the wrong jersey and didn't remind them, if it wasn't for the warm-up before the game Liu Mang wanted to find someone to encourage him, so he went to the parking lot to pick up the three girls at home, and saw Dinah wearing Carter's Raptors No. 15, and quickly bought a jersey for Dina to change into, which was really embarrassing.

Everyone knows that Dinah is his "daughter", and if his "daughter" wears the opponent's jersey to cheer on the field...... The headlines are not necessarily, but there will be another "anecdote" that has become black history, and as a public figure, the most hated and disgusted are all kinds of "anecdotes".

However, with Dinah's trouble, the tension in Liu Mang's heart really dissipated a lot, the three girls went to the fan tunnel to find their own seats, Liu Mang went back to the stadium alone, and the game was his own after all.

……

……

On February 15, 2003, the day of the much-anticipated All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest arrived.

This year's eventing competition day is a bit shorter than last year's, and it also brings all three major eventing events to the stage in the future.

The guest of honor invited on the second game day of this year's All-Star Weekend is an Atlanta-native female singer, a famous female rapper in the 90s, Da Bright, nicknamed Little Guy, which means her name, and is simply used as a nickname.

Although I don't like hip-hop music so much, I do have that feeling when I listen to it live, and the scene suddenly heats up.

Unlike the official competition, and even the rookie game and the All-Star game, the eventing competition is not only about watching the performance of the people on the field, but also the faces of the people on the sidelines.

Mainly, current and retired stars.

There are four races in total, regular eventing and special events that will change almost every year.

All the players gathered on the bench on the right side of the technical table, and at the time of each eventing, the bench was two in one, and the twenty or so people were crowded together.

The bench on the other side of the technical table has become a VIP seat, that is, the position where the organizer's players, current superstars, retired superstars, and friends of the contestants are of course also NBA players, which has expanded several times, and hundreds of big stars sit in that position.

After the hot performance, the live DJ began to introduce the guests who were there today.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, applaud our President David Stern, who is leading the NBA to globalization and giving us more exciting games......"

The first to be introduced, of course, is the NBA's commissioner, David Stern.

"Next, thank you to our greatest player in Atlanta, the best of human cinema Dominique Wilkins......"

"Thank you to the Los Angeles Lakers' all-time best and ever-best all-time No. 1 point guard, Magic Elvin Johnson ......"

Then, there are the two famous names who will participate in the competition today.

David Stern was ignored by many people, but the latter two NBA historical legends made the already enthusiastic atmosphere of the whole court even more high.

However, the DJ on the scene was really a member of the Rogue League, not only wearing the Rogue League vest over his work clothes, nor did he know if he was deliberately angry at Kobe Bryant who sat in the VIP seat, but also deliberately emphasized that the Magic is always the strongest in the Lakers.

Here, the camera was returned to Kobe, and when Kobe Bryant saw the camera coming, he could only show a ruthless and smiling expression.

Yes, the Rogue Alliance is no longer limited to the production and sale of T-shirts, they found that T-shirts are not easy to sell in winter, and T-shirts also have sales bottlenecks, so this "brand" began to develop in all directions, Liu Mang felt that one day he would probably advertise "his own brand", but the brand was not his own.

This made Liu Mang very painful, this law is really terrible.

The pre-match event is over, and the long-awaited match is finally about to begin!

First up was the NBA Three-Point Contest, which was played by SuperSonic's Rick Barry, Magic's Pat Garrity, Kings' Peja, Celtics' Antoine Walker, and Hornets' David Wesley.

Walker's popularity is really not low! When the players in the three-point contest came on the court to draw lots, Walker was cheered loudly by the fans when he played.

Liu Mang is really more and more incomprehensible about some players, especially after becoming more and more familiar with his NBA peers, he found that NBA players will be divided into two very extreme categories.

Either the little blacksmith worked very hard, or Antoine Walker didn't work hard.

Generally speaking, those who work hard are basically talented, and Antoine Walker, who is particularly not hard-working, is often very talented.

This makes the average strength of the NBA stronger and stronger, and the talented can get a lot of money without too much effort, and the talent can also get a lot of money after working hard, so that more talented players can work harder.

Those who have good talent but do not work hard often stand out from the crowd after a few years, and fade out of the league earlier than those with average talent but hard work, and those who are originally talented and work hard finally become the top stars in the league.

The order in which the draw was made was Peja, Walker, Garriti, Barry, Wesley.

Peja drew the first sign to play, the order of the draw, in the morning and evening, has its own advantages and disadvantages, in the morning, the first shot, it will be frozen, and the back can only look down on life and death.

But in the morning, if you throw a crushing performance, the people behind will have no fighting spirit, and the disadvantage of playing later is here, but the advantage in the back court is that if the front plays only averagely, then the latter will be more confident.

Peja walked onto the pitch and there was a lot less cheering from the crowd.

In the three-point contest, because Liu Mang and Ray Allen, the two strongest three-pointers, did not participate, people's expectations were much lower.

Peja also felt that the heat of the scene had decreased significantly, and the fire in her heart really couldn't stop! They all underestimate him!

Whether it is in the all-time three-point list or the three-point player that fans are keen to discuss, he is not at the forefront, and is often even ignored.

But! Peja is very aware of his strength, although his three-point shot is not as crazy as Ray Allen, Liu Mang and Antoine Walker, and from time to time he has seven or eight three-pointers in a single game, but he is confident that he is not bad, right? So far in his career, he has averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game, and his 39 percent three-point shooting rate has been completely ignored, which makes him very unhappy.

Especially in last year's three-point contest, after losing to Liu Mang, Peja saw that he actually fell to sixth place in the ranks of the strongest three-point players in NBA history evaluated at the end of the season.

Reggie Miller, Steve Cole, Stockton, Ray Allen lead, and Peja doesn't have much of an objection.

Reggie Miller is now the all-time three-point king, the first and only player in history who has made more than 2,000 three-point shots, although Stockton and Steve Kerr have fewer shots, they are efficient, especially Steve Kerr, the first three-point shooting percentage in history, with a career three-point shooting rate of 45.4 percent, and the highest shooting percentage among the players who have scored more than 40 three-pointers in a single season in the NBA is also Steve Kerr, who Steve Kerr used as a substitute that season, The three-point shooting percentage was 52.4 percent.

However, Liu Mang, who was ranked fifth, was criticized just like O'Neal, who was still on a rookie contract that year, was selected as one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history.

However, because the three-point shot is not very good in this era, especially the three-point line has only been established for about 20 years, like many players who entered the NBA in the 80s, they don't know how to shoot three-pointers at all, because they may have been in college and have not practiced three-point shooting, unlike in a few years, those young people who have practiced three-point shooting since childhood will shoot so accurately after entering the NBA.

Therefore, Liu Mang, a rookie who broke Reggie Miller's highest three-point shooting in a single season in his rookie season, was ranked by the media as the fifth strongest three-point shooter in NBA history.

But Peja is not happy! So every time he played the Eagles, he was powerful, and led his teammates to beat the Eagles wildly, leaving no mercy at all.

This year, it's the three-point contest again, and since they are all participating, he has to prove himself! From agreeing to participate in the three-point competition, Peja has been preparing and practicing, until this morning, he also went to rent a basketball hall to practice this kind of game shooting, and now he is ready, he is going to explode!

Peja came to the first shooting spot in the bottom right corner, and when she saw that the game was about to start, the fans still gave some cheers to the face.

Peja endured the unhappiness in her heart, and the perfunctory cheers could be clearly heard.

Peja took a deep breath and nodded to the referee next to her.

The referee received the news that it was ready, raised the order flag in his hand with the technical table, waved it down, and blew the whistle in his mouth at the same time.

As soon as the whistle blows, the 60-second countdown to the race begins!

Peja picked up the golfer and hit all four ordinary white balls in a row!

Although there was nothing to expect before the game, the fans couldn't help but exclaim when they saw four three-pointers scored in 8 seconds! This exclamation made Peyton feel that the suppressed feeling in his heart was instantly released!

The fifth ball, the flower ball!

Without hesitation, Peja picked up the ball and threw it to the basket!

Again!

Six points in a row!

Peja quickly came to the second point, but unfortunately, the rhythm was broken due to a run, and the first ball was missed, but the next three ordinary balls and flower balls all hit!

Only 20 seconds have passed! Only one was lost!

Peja came to the top arc, and with the lesson from last time, Peja steadied this time and started shooting again.

At the third shooting point, Peja hit all five balls!

Looking at Peja, who has only finished shooting three points, only lost one ball, and scored 18 points, Liu Mang's eyes are about to pop out on the sidelines, hey, should my buddy's record be broken!

The fourth point!

Peja came to the fourth shooting point and shot 4-of-5!

From the exclamation at the beginning, all the fans at the scene stood up in the first three point shots, and now they have scored 23 points after the fourth point shot, which is only 3 points away from Liu Mang's highest single round of 26 points! Everyone at the scene stood up and cheered wildly!

There is no applause or cheers in a competition, in addition to the anticipation, there is also a real performance!

When a star performs above and beyond everyone's expectations, or even much above expectations, the cheers and applause are even stronger!

Just like last year, no one thought that Liu Mang had a chance to beat Ray Allen, but Liu Mang did it, allowing him to far surpass him in the ranking of three-point shooters!

Peja is driving people crazy this time!

At the last point, Peja may have been a little exhausted, shooting 20 in a row, and the first three shots of the fifth point were all missed, which made the fans a little regretful, is 23 points already the limit? After all, in addition to Liu Mang, there are only three people in the history of the NBA who have shot more than 23 points: Mark Price, Clegg Hodges, and Hubert Davis, plus Liu Mang, and the performance of all four people is regarded as a miracle of the three-point contest.

Shooting 25 baskets a minute is already extremely intense, just like Liu Mang has to shoot 100 three-pointers in 300 seconds, which is a task that can only be completed by top shooters with accurate heads.

However, with 12 seconds left, Peja adjusted well, and the fourth shot of the fifth point finally went in!

There's one ball left!

Everyone is looking forward to the shot!

Even if you are an Eagles fan, you can't care if the record of your own star will be equaled, this kind of game is the best to surpass the peak!

The last ball, Peja was in full anticipation, slowly adjusting, and before the 60-second whistle blew, threw the last flower ball.

When the flower bulbs spin, they are quite beautiful, and they look like dancing in the air...... The ball, like the ball, falls into the basket.

26 points!

Liu Mang's single-round scoring record for the three-point contest only last season was held for a year, and it was tied by Peja! It's been less than a year! It's only been 360 days, and it's been flattened!

Heavenly!

Liu Mang was stunned!

He remembers that it seems that the 25 points were only broken by Curry in 2015, and this Peja tied his 26 points as soon as he went on a rampage?

You really can't underestimate these seniors!

When Peja threw such a performance, several of the other players in the competition stared.

They are not Ray Allen, and they are not Liu Mang, and this kind of three-point hard steel in the top six levels in history? Use your head to be strong!

Peja completely raised the cheers of the three-point contest to the top, and at the same time, put an end to the three-point contest!

The next players on the court could only play with a wry smile, Walker shot 13 points, Wesley 9 points, Barry 11 points, and Garrity shot 7 points, almost paying tribute to the god of basketball, but fortunately, the last flower ball was thrown.

The first round was completely crushed, and in the finals, all the other contestants almost gave up, Walker and Barry, who reached the finals, completely lost confidence, Peja scored 22 points in the second round, and the other two scored 10 points and 12 points, Peja was like Liu Mang last year, completely dominating the three-point competition!

Against all odds!

This was completely unexpected by the fans, but they didn't expect that the second game day of this year's All-Star Weekend was detonated from the three-point contest!

After the game, Peja came to the center of the pitch to receive the trophy and give an acceptance speech.

Liu Mang saw that Peja had been looking at him, and in his heart, a player with the roundest and big round face in history, secretly screamed that it was not good.

Peja got the trophy, took the microphone and said in a frenzy acceptance speech: "Today seems to have tied the record of the three-point contest, but this record is held by two people, and it always feels unpleasant, right, Ace, let's have another game next year?" ”

Depend on! Liu Mang knows!

"Ding...... The host is provoked, and the system mission is released: the king of the NBA All-Star three-point shootout. ”

"King of the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest: Defeated Peja to win the Three-Point Contest in the 2004 Los Angeles All-Star Three-Point Contest. Defeat Punishment: Announce to the world that Peja is the best three-point shooter, better than Ray Allen and Reggie Miller. ”

"If you accept, please stand up and nod with a smile, if you refuse, please smile and shake your head."

Damn, it's really caring, and it also gives the designated action of refusal and acceptance, and it's very gentlemanly.

But the master just wants to be a gentleman!

What is the worst thing about Liu Mang? It's just that the speed of three-point shooting has not been significantly improved, and his current shooting speed is basically at the limit, no matter how fast it is, it can't guarantee efficiency, so this task must be done!

Peja actually provoked Liu Mang, everyone at the scene was stunned, and then, after seeing Liu Mang stunned for a moment, he stood up directly and walked to the sidelines.

The reporter on the side had sharp eyes and reacted very quickly, rushed over with the microphone and handed it to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was provoked, how could he not respond?

Really, if you don't participate today, some people are worried about it, of course Liu Mang has to fight back, how do you want to say it after thinking about it?

Pregnant!

Peijia was a little surprised when she saw Liu Mang walk out directly, the young man was really breathless! But now that she has just won the three-point contest, Peja is in the midst of excitement, so she is full of fighting spirit.

Peja and the fans at the scene all stared at Liu Mang, eager to know how Liu Mang would respond, and the players on the sidelines were also excited, screaming, really screaming.

Liu Mang picked up the microphone and looked at a certain bird in the fan area on the sidelines, a certain bird was stunned when he saw Liu Mang's eyes, and said in his heart that MMP didn't know whether to scold it or not, he had already guessed it!

Liu Mang turned his head to look at Peja, smiled, and said lightly: "Sir, it's rare to get the first place once, do you want to experience the second again?" ”
