Chapter 138: The Strongest High School Student in the United States Returns
At halftime, Vogel took the Magic players back to the locker room to scratch their ears and cheeks, and most of the Bulls players also went back to the locker room, they can take advantage of this time to relax their muscles, do some entertainment to relax their mood, of course, the most important thing at halftime is naturally the head coach's summary and deployment of the first half to prepare for the second half.
This is the case most of the time, but today Li Ming did not go back, but sat on the bench, he had already greeted head coach Hojberg in advance, and would go back in the last ten minutes to discuss the second half with the team.
The reason for staying is naturally because Deng Tian will participate in the shooting competition with several other participating fans, and the final winner will get a thousand dollars.
Because there are only 20 minutes, there are not many players in the competition, only five, and the way of the game is also very simple, 10 shots from the free throw line, 10 shots from outside the three-point line, one point for two points, two points for one three-point shot, and the person with the highest cumulative score is the champion of this shooting competition.
Deng Tian's number drawn is No. 5, the last to play, this kind of shooting game usually has a lot of pressure to play the last game, but the first one to play without any pressure, can fully exert their strength.
From Deng Tian's reaction, it can be seen that he is very nervous, and glances at Li Ming from time to time, which is a very bad signal, which shows that he is distracted, how can the players not focus on the game?
Perhaps more concerned about Li Ming's gaze than these players.
Li Ming sat on the bench without any expression, to be honest, everything he should have done had already been done, what kind of performance Deng Tian could show next, and what kind of state it would be after that, he was powerless.
Psychological problems, unless you can get out of it, otherwise, no one can really play a role in healing.
Twenty shots is not much, but if you shoot a ball in ten seconds on average, it will take a little more than three minutes to shoot, plus a total of five people.
Soon it was Deng Tian's turn.
The four men in front of him scored 10, 15, 17 and 23 points.
It can be seen that the last one must have been engaged in special training and even had experience in the competition, otherwise it would not have been possible to score so many goals with such composure under the attention of more than 20,000 spectators at the scene.
Twenty-three points, a total of 30 points, which means that he only missed one free throw and three three-pointers, which is a very remarkable result, at least at the top level among basketball fans.
Deng Tian's pressure was very high.
"Okay, the last contestant is Deng Tian, this is a super newcomer who has reached the top 20 of the national high school rankings in his first year of high school, and has attracted the attention of a large number of scouts with his extremely mature shooting, but he was seriously injured in an accident in the summer, and now he has fallen outside the top 50 in the new national high school rankings!"
"Yes, the physique of Asians is not outstanding, and the player will be more or less accompanied by some psychological shadows after being seriously injured, there are rumors that Deng Tian has left the high school basketball team he belongs to, this is the first time he has appeared in the public eye since the injury!"
The TNT commentary trio was not at all enthusiastic about the Bulls and Magic's game commentary, but they were enthusiastic about this kind of halftime shooting.
Deng Tian came on the court to welcome some small commotion, and I have to say that as a basketball leader among Chicago high school students, he still has some popularity.
Deng Tian, who walked to the free throw line, seemed to be very nervous, and his first shot was adjusted many times and he didn't shoot, but his breathing gradually became heavier.
This is a very bad sign.
"Come on, son! You are the best! Because Deng Tian was about to shoot, the audience in the audience was very quiet, which was a respect for the shooter, so Deng Zhigao's cheering voice was particularly abrupt.
Deng Tian gestured with the ball, glanced at his father, and looked indescribably emotional, did you ask him if he was nervous? He must have been nervous, not only because there were so many people watching, but also because there were two special people watching him.
Li Ming and Deng Zhigao.
He didn't want to lose, and he didn't want to disappoint them.
"Me, can I do it?!"
If he had been before, he would definitely not ask himself this kind of question, the ranking of high school students in the United States has already explained the problem, he is only a sophomore in high school, and he still has enough time to improve his ranking, but once he was seriously injured, of course his self-confidence is gone, and he loses his soul all day long, and he has no energy, as if he has lost his soul.
The only one who can save oneself is always oneself, and as long as you want to live, you will never die. Deng Tian suddenly remembered this sentence again, and glanced back at Li Ming on the bench, who was also looking at him, nodding slightly, as if he was approving some of the thoughts in his heart.
Magic is not strong, strong! But in the end, he was led by Li Ming to beat the team, is twenty-three points high? High! It's not necessarily a score that can't be broken.
Readjusting the state, Deng Tian's flickering eyes slowly added a touch of something different, it was a flame. Once extinguished, now it is beginning to rekindle.
It is the flame of longing for victory, as long as you want to do it, you must do it!
Suddenly, Deng Tian only felt that his mood had become extraordinarily calm, no longer nervous, no longer thinking so much, and he now had only one thought in his mind - to win this shooting contest, just like Li Ming picked off the Magic team.
A score of 23 is a high score, but it's not something that can't be beaten.
"I'm Deng Tian! But a high school student in the United States who is known for his accurate shooting! β
"Whew!" Deng Tian finally made a shot, a perfect arc, the first ball fell into the basket without accident, followed by the second, third, sixth, and tenth balls.
Hit all 10 penalties!!
"Wow~ This kid's free-throw shooting percentage is already higher than O'Neal's!" Barkley clapped his hands and exclaimed.
"Damn, do you want to taste the donkey's ass again?" O'Neal was told that he was in trouble, and immediately fought back with Barkley's trouble, and Smith watched quietly from the sidelines.
Deng Tian's shooting continued, his eyes were shining, and all ten free throws made him recover a lot of self-confidence.
I Deng Tian could do it before! I can still do it!
Three-point shot, Deng Tian didn't hesitate at all, he took the ball and threw it, and the total score accumulated rapidly, twenty, twenty-two, twenty-two, twenty-four!
With the last ball remaining, Deng Tian's total score has surpassed that of fourth place.
The last ball without pressure was not thrown, and the cheers of the whole audience sounded, and Deng Tian didn't look at it, and turned around directly to accept the cheers of the audience.
"Huh!" The last ball still fell into the box!
With 26 points, Deng Tian won the championship of the shooting contest and announced the return of the once strongest high school student in the United States.
The list of the strongest high school students in the United States, as long as you can get into it, you can be called the strongest high school students in the United Statesγγγγγ
