CHAPTER XLVI. 23.3
After the completion of yesterday's "Seven Year Itch" task, he will receive various rewards and bonuses after obtaining the "Four Pairs", Young Master Zhao's honor coins have exceeded 40,000, and the honor fragments have also reached 1,700, as long as he gets the championship of the three-point contest and the skill challenge tonight, he can buy the second bag.
This is his priority at the moment, and the bronze cards are mediocre, and only winning by quantity can make up for some shortcomings.
Cards at this time are of limited help to him, and to really come in handy, at least after reaching the platinum level, there are many powerful cards to buy.
In the afternoon, he met with the other participating players, and only after the interview did he receive a text message from Bloodmold.
The content of this text message is nothing unusual, mainly forgiving him for his accidental injury last night, then wishing him the next performance, and finally thanking him for his helicopter, because last night it was Young Master Zhao who arranged the plane to take her to the hospital.
"Okay, then I have a phone call, although I don't really want to make a call."
Young Master Zhao is not too interested in Miss Blood Mold, he prefers Gaiduo or Milla Jovovich for beauties with this kind of face.
What he is really interested in is the voice, maybe because her voice is very sexy, and every time Young Master Zhao listens to her songs, it will have a sexual effect, so he likes to listen to her songs while communicating with other young ladies.
But I don't want to communicate with her real person, mainly because the face of the blood mold is a little fatter now, and the dress and style are also a little dirty, or in the future, after the face slimming injection, the wavy hair will be replaced, and the whole person will be thinned, then she can be regarded as a beauty.
In the afternoon, after the carnival dedicated to pit money, it was time for the five major individual events.
This year's All-Star Weekend added another H-O-R-S-E game, but when Zhao Dashao saw that the task reward was only 1000 honor coins, and thought that this broken game was canceled after only two years, the key is that the players participating are all Xiao Xiaoyu who has not entered the main game, of course he will not surrender his identity and run to play with the little miscellaneous fish.
The H-O-R-S-E and mixed shooting competitions are all played in the afternoon, and the "Skill Challenge", "Three-Point Contest", and "Slam Dunk Contest", which are really attracting attention, are held in the evening.
When Zhao Dashao returned to the arena again, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the first "skills challenge" would start in half an hour.
This year, there are still four players participating in the competition, and the league originally invited the three Jadevin Harris of the Eastern Region, Jamal Nelson and Derrick Rose, and the Western point guard is only Zhao Dashao, which is also regarded by many people as the "Three British vs. Lu Bu".
But because Nelson was injured before the All-Star break, his spot was topped by Parker, which became two players from the East and West Divisions.
The "Skill Challenge" is a new event that was only added in the 02-3 season, so it is not as influential as the "Three-Point Contest" and "Slam Dunk Contest".
But the "Skills Competition" is by no means a chicken rib event that only the unknown will participate in, in fact, this competition has superstar-level players participating in every year, Wade, James, Kobe, Kidd, Paul, Nash and others have all participated in this competition, which shows that the gold content is not low.
This year, there are also champions Ross and Young Master Zhao to participate, and Parker, who replaced Nelson, is also an All-Star level, if the first two can grow into supergiants in the future, then this year's stars are also very bright!
"Ivan don't get a score in 30 seconds in a while, you won't come back."
Before the competition, he pretended to be a ** in front of Young Master Zhao, so it is because he also participated in this competition last year, and he also got a score of 29.8 seconds in the preliminaries to enter the finals, which is a very high result among the previous contestants.
But the boss didn't play well in the finals last year, and finally lost to Wade by nearly 20 seconds.
But I have to say that last year's Skills Challenge was hailed as the strongest lineup in history, because the four players were Kobe, James, Wade, and Paul, which can be regarded as four supergiants competing on the same stage.
"Don't worry, as long as it's more than 40 seconds, I won't be back in Los Angeles."
Zhao Dashao's words made Kobe's face darken, didn't he have a score of more than forty seconds in the final last year?
"I think you're itching!"
The boss glanced at the cameras around him, and finally suppressed the urge to elbow!
Young Master Zhao smiled secretly in his heart: "Don't say 40 seconds, more than 30 seconds is my mistake"!
For the past three months, he has simulated the complete game dozens of times before going to bed every day, and he can complete the game with his eyes closed at the moment.
Before the start of the game, the live broadcast camera swept to the front row again, where celebrities from all walks of life were still sitting, as well as NBA players who stole the scene, but the female audience seemed to be a little less than yesterday, of course, it may also be an illusion.
Young Master Zhao was not familiar with the three opponents, and he still sat with Kobe Bryant and Gasol before the game and chatted nonsense.
Of course, the on-site reporter had to interview Young Master Zhao, who was in the limelight yesterday, before the start of the game, such as asking some about "whether you have confidence".
"To be honest, compared to the three-point competition, I am not sure about the skills competition, because this is the first time I have participated in this kind of competition, and I have never practiced before, and today the organizers arranged for me to be the last to play, which can be regarded as taking care of me."
Young Master Zhao obviously didn't say anything, he had already greeted the whole family of the people who arranged the order in his heart, and the last one to play was not to take care of him.
The reporters on the scene ended up interviewing a bunch of fakes, and the commentators of various countries are already explaining the rules and methods of the game for fans.
The Skill Challenge is a simple competition in which four players complete dribbling, passing, and shooting in a field with a variety of different obstacles within a set time, and the player who takes the least amount of time wins.
Here's how it works: the player makes a layup and then dribbles over five obstacles to the frontcourt. There are two passing tests where you need to pass the basketball into the frame with a through ball and a ground pass. This was followed by a jumper from 20 feet and another test of the same passing accuracy. Finally, go around 5 obstacles and return to the backcourt to complete the layup.
After this process, the two players with the shortest time can enter the finals, and the players with the shortest time in the finals are naturally the champions.
This game is not difficult to say, and the amateur players can be in better shape and luck, and they can also be completed in one go.
But there is competition pressure in the game, if the players in front of them take a short time and have no mistakes, the players behind will be under a lot of pressure, as long as a certain link misses, it is easy to mess up the rhythm, and finally like Kobe Bryant last year, the preliminaries took less than 30 seconds, and the finals took more than 40 seconds to complete.
The first player to come on is undoubtedly a big advantage, as long as he performs well, the later players are prone to mistakes. And the last one to come out, the pressure is definitely the greatest.
So when the referee told him the order of appearance, Young Master Zhao once again felt targeted. But the bastards didn't know he was prepared, and of course he wouldn't say that.
After the live performance and advertising, the four players finally stood on the sidelines wearing their team jerseys, and after the live commentators introduced them one by one, the game finally began.
The first to come out to the cheers of the fans was Harris, who was at the peak of his athleticism, but the game was not faster than anyone else, although Harris was smooth when he passed the pole, but when it came to the passing stage, he made a total of 4 mistakes on the two through balls before and after, which seriously affected the time used, and finally took 38 seconds, and the game was basically declared out.
Kobe Bryant secretly said that Young Master Zhao's luck is really good, and Harris's time to get all 5 competitions is also a very low result, which is equivalent to giving one directly for nothing.
The second appearance was Parker, who was first introduced by the NBA during All-Star Weekend, and Parker participated in it along with Kidd, Payton and Marbury.
At that time, Parker was just a 20-year-old stunned young man, and his three opponents were all "old fritters" who had been in the league for many years.
As a result, the 20-year-old Parker not only "lived up to expectations" at the bottom, but also set the worst record of the event with a time of 45.5 seconds, which has not been broken to this day.
Today, he may feel that this record has been in the dust for a long time, and he made consecutive mistakes in the passing link as soon as he came up, and when he finally completed the first two passes, Parker struggled again in the shooting link, and it actually took a full five times to throw the ball in.
I believe that Popovich's face should be very ugly when he sees this scene, even if you replace it temporarily, you can't give it for nothing! Where are the basics?
Parker himself became more and more anxious, and the last two sets of passes still failed to succeed once, and finally even had problems with the rhythm of the dribble, and actually hit an obstacle on the way back, stumbling to get the ball up, and finally took 52 seconds, becoming the first player to break 50 seconds in the Skills Challenge.
The crowd applauded the Frenchman after the game, and Parker's result was almost unprecedented, and unless the format was overhauled in the future, there was really little chance of breaking the new record of 50 seconds.
"Damn, what level is this session?"
Kobe Bryant's jaw dropped, and last year's opponents were all thorns in the side, and it took a lot of effort for him to finally reach the finals.
But this year, Young Master Zhao hasn't played yet, and he has basically announced that he has entered the finals in advance, can he still play this game?
Young Master Zhao himself is also very painful, these opponents are too vain, right?
But not all the contestants are so bad, the basic skills of the new champion are still very solid, except for the deceleration to ensure the success rate, the long throw also took two times to complete, and the rest were all passed at one time, and finally he completed the game in 33 seconds to ensure the promotion.
Young Master Zhao applauded him very kindly on the sidelines, and secretly screamed scum in his heart!
However, judging from Rose's movements, he should have also practiced, otherwise he would not be so stable in every link, and he is obviously slowing down in pursuit of success rate.
Of course, this must be because he saw the first two too white, and he can win as long as he is stable.
Young Master Zhao raised the corners of his mouth, he wouldn't use this method to advance.
The fact that the first two had such poor results gave him the opportunity to break the record.
Young Master Zhao felt that he could completely give up some stability and pursue speed instead, because even if there was a mistake in the middle, he was sure that he would not be eliminated.
In the end, in the faint cheers of the fans, the long-awaited Zhao Dashao finally came on the field.
This is quite interesting, when the four players came on the field, it was Young Master Zhao who cheered the least.
But everyone wants to see him play more, this phenomenon is analyzed in essence, in fact, it is still "true fragrance" at work!
Young Master Zhao stood at the starting point of the game, and the four camera booms actually followed him from different directions, you must know that there were only two at most when the other three people competed just now, which can prove that Zhao Dashao does have a card!
The referee briefly said a few words to him about the rules of the game, and as soon as Young Master Zhao replied "OK", an air raid siren sounded from a loudspeaker not far away.
Young Master Zhao rushed out, the first layup didn't even raise his head, let alone jump high, and when he passed by, he threw the ball up casually and finished it, and the whole person ran directly to the obstacle point to get a new basketball, and quickly dribbled through the obstacle pole.
At this time, you can see Zhao Dashao's innate ball sense, as well as agile skills, every time he crosses the barrier, he is tightly clinging, almost making people feel that his body touches the railing, but when you look at it with a close-up camera, you find that he is passing by.
"Haven't you practiced this TM?"
Many people began to complain, Young Master Zhao was not only super efficient when crossing obstacles, but he also went straight to the next point after each pass at the passing point, and didn't even look at whether the pass had gone in.
In doing so, he had to turn around and return once he missed the pass, but he was confident that he would not be eliminated even if he missed, because the results of the first two were too poor.
But if he doesn't miss every time, it saves a lot of time.
The shooting point is the same, Young Master Zhao picked up the basketball and threw the ball out with his hand, and then didn't even have a superfluous action to aim, turned around and went straight to the next passing point, passed the ball out again, and passed it again.
"Damn, he's definitely practiced."
Kobe Bryant glanced up at the time, it would be less than 20 seconds, and when he turned his head to look at Young Master Zhao, TMD was about to run to the last layup point.
"Huh!"
Zhao Dashao not only didn't look up this time, he threw the ball up outside the paint area, and the ball happened to fall into the basket when he got to the basket, and he was still saving time until the last moment?
"Of course, how else would you break the record?"
Zhao Dashao looked at the huge timer on the sidelines at this time, the first number is "2" at the beginning, there is no doubt that this system cannot reduce the time to less than 20 seconds, but it is still possible to reduce the time to 25 seconds. And when he saw that the second number was 3, Young Master Zhao's face finally showed a satisfied smile, and his final result was 23.3 seconds!
The fans at the scene have already looked stupid, last year's 25.5 seconds set by Delong was hailed as a miraculous record, who would have thought that Young Master Zhao would shrink the new record by 2.2 seconds a year later, how would this be described?
Delong in front of the TV was so angry that he smashed the wine glass in his hand, this time he was not only robbed of the all-star position by Young Master Zhao, but also broke the record, what is shrimp and pig heart, he finally tasted it today.
Young Master Zhao didn't celebrate, everyone only saw him smile slightly after finishing the game, as if this was just an insignificant routine operation, there was nothing to be excited about at all!
