Chapter 538: Nothing Gained (2/5)

It took one night in Los Angeles, and the next day, the All-Stars continued to fight.

The day's All-Stars will feature four individual events, starting with the Skills Competition.

Derrick Fisher of the Lakers, Stephen Marbury of the Knicks, Byron Davis of the Hornets, and Ear Boykins of the Nuggets will play in this game.

This is the second time that the NBA has held a skills competition, and the rules of the competition are that players must complete the basic links of dribbling, passing and shooting in a field with a variety of different obstacles within a set time.

The tournament is divided into two rounds, with four players facing each other against each other, and the player with the least time in each group advances to the second round, and the rules of the second round are the same as the first round, and the one with the least time wins the final championship.

This game is a test of the basic skills of the players, and the players who participate in the game are basically point guards.

Once the race began, Byron Davis, who was the first to play, was very good, finishing the race in just 28.7 seconds.

Stephen Marbury and Earlboy Skins both made mistakes of varying degrees in 36.4 seconds and 34.9 seconds, respectively.

Derek Fisher was the last to play, and he won the cheers of the fans because he was playing "home"!

To the cheers, Derek Fisher finished the race with a decent time, finishing with 31.6 seconds to beat Stephen Marbury and Earle Boykins, who were taking more time.

Together with Byron Davis, who took less time, they successfully advanced to the finals!

In the final, Byron Davis continued to perform very well, dribbling and passing the ball quickly, and the final shot was also accurate, and the final shot was accurate in 31.6 seconds.

Derrick Fisher spent too much time on his shot, finishing with 37.6 seconds.

In the end, Byron Davis took less time in the final and managed to defeat Derek Fisher and win the Skills Challenge!

This is also the first event of All-Star Weekend 2! The Staples Center was full of enthusiasm, even though it wasn't the Lakers players who won the championship.

……

This was followed by the Shooting Stars Contest, the NBA's newest individual event, which featured four teams in action.

The rules of the game are that each team takes a shot from six shooting points in a two-minute period and hits the target, with the shortest team winning and a tie going through an extra game until the winner is decided.

The Lakers team includes Derrick Fisher, Magic Johnson and Los Angeles Sparks' All-Star center Lisa Leslie.

The Clippers made up of Marco Jarrich, Los Angeles Spark guard Nikki Tisley, and former NBA star Terry Cummings.

The Pistons made up of Richard Hamilton, Detroit Shock forward Shelly Ford (Karl Malone's daughter) and former NBA star John Saray.

and the Spurs of Manu Ginobili, recently retired San Antonio Silver Star guard Jennifer Azzi, and former NBA star and current guest host at TNT, Steve Kerr.

Four teams competed, with the Spurs coming out on the pitch and their shots went well to finish with 46 seconds.

The Clippers, who came out next, had a slightly worse performance, but it only took 49.6 seconds.

The Pistons, who were third to play, shot well in the first few shots, but legendary superstar Sully's three-pointers repeatedly missed, and it took them more than a minute to complete the game.

The Lakers, who were the last to play, had a good tempo of the game, and with Derrick Fisher's long-range shot from the center circle, the time was 43.9 seconds on the timer, and they eventually won the championship.

The hosts have finally won a championship! The Staples Center is naturally a wild cheer!

……

And then, the most important and high-profile slam dunk contest and three-point contest in the eyes of everyone have finally arrived, and the atmosphere in the arena is also enthusiastic!

First of all, the three-point contest was held, and the lineup of this three-point contest was very luxurious.

Rockets rookie Kyle Korver is participating, and Pejastojakovic, the winner of last year's three-point contest and a big explosion this season, and an All-Star selection, continues to play.

The SuperSonics' Rashad Lewis, the Grizzlies' Chauncy Billups, and the Bulls' Catino Mobley will also play, all three All-Star-caliber players, plus the Nuggets' starting point guard Voshan Leonard.

Behind the luxurious lineup, the game is also very intense.

Cutino Mobley, who started the game, had a mediocre performance, scoring only 13 points.

But Keller Korver, who came out later, threw a high score of 19 points in the cheers of the audience, and Qiao Hai on the sidelines also applauded one after another, very excited.

Chauncey Billups played erratically after the game, scoring only 12 points.

The fourth Nuggets veteran, Wolfham Leonard, played extraordinarily and also scored 18 points.

Rashad Lewis came out on the penultimate side, shooting 17 points, lower than both Korver and Leonard, and there were only three spots in the final, and if he wants to make the final, he will have to look at the face of Peja, who is the last to play.

Peja came out and scored six points on the first shooting point on all five shots.

Then, in the second shooting point, he continued to shoot all 5 of them, and the score was already broken by 12 points.

At the top of the arc, Peja's hand slipped a little and he missed the last flower, but even so, after the top of the arc, his score had reached 16 points.

With two shooting points left in the end, it can be said that Rashad Lewis only has theoretical hope of qualifying.

Then, on the fourth spot, he hit two orange balls in a row to score 18 points, and Rashad Lewis lowered his head and he was eliminated......

In the end, Peja scored 22 points in the preliminaries, and advanced to the finals along with Keller Korver, who scored 19 points, and Voshan Leonard, who scored 18 points.

……

In the final, Keller Korver played erratically, scoring only 15 points, and Joe had to walk over to comfort him.

Vochan Leonard scored another 18 points.

Peja, who was the last to play, shot very smoothly in the first few shooting points, but when it came to the fourth shooting point, he suddenly missed the accuracy and missed several consecutive shots, completely messing up the rhythm.

Although Peja hit back-to-back shots at the last shot, and when he finished the penultimate shot, his score came to 16 points, and just by hitting the last flower, he could tie Voshan Leonard's 18 points.

But the last ball was shot, and with a bang, in the sighs of the crowd at the Staples Center, the last ball hit the iron!

The veteran of the Nuggets, Woshan Leonard, finally lifted the three-point trophy.

……

The final game of the All-Star Day was a slam dunk contest in which the Rockets' Chris Anderson played.

Jason Richardson of the Warriors, Ricky Davis of the Celtics and Fred Jones of the Pacers also participated in the game.

Among them, Jason Richardson was also the champion of the last slam dunk contest!

Therefore, although this slam dunk contest is not like the previous slam dunk contests in 2000, with Kobe, Vince Carter and Maddy playing, at least, with Jason Richardson and Ricky Davis, the lineup of this slam dunk contest is quite luxurious.

In the first round of preliminaries, Ricky Davis came out first, and he first tried to smash the rebound and dunk, but he didn't succeed in two shots.

Then, he hesitated, and in order to score points, he lowered the difficulty and changed his moves.

A 360-degree turn and extra-loop dunk was a success, the judges raised their cards, five 9s, and the first dunk, Ricky Davis scored 45 points.

In the second dunk, he made another corner jumping hand-changing dunk, but unfortunately failed one after another, and finally only scored 31 consolation points.

With a total of 76 points in the two rounds, Ricky Davis did not play well.

The second to appear was Chris Anderson, who was also a rare white-skinned man in the slam dunk contest, and Joe led a group of Rockets players to cheer and applaud Chris Anderson.

In the first button, Chris Anderson came with a twist and reverse buckle, the action is not gorgeous, but it comes with a big bird man of 2.08 meters, which looks unique.

Therefore, in the first deduction, the judges gave 5 8 points, which is 40 points.

In the second dunk, Chris Anderson came to a smashing board and scored another 48 points, with a total of 88 points for the two dunks, at least higher than Ricky Davis.

The third to appear was Fred Jones of the Pacers.

In the first dunk, he threw the ball to bounce off the floor, then quickly sprinted and jumped, and after receiving the ball in the air, he suddenly turned around and split the dunk, winning the full house and getting the first 50 points of the game.

But his second dunk wasn't very successful, scoring just 42 points, but Fred Jones still scored 92 points with a good first dunk.

Jason Richardson, who was the last to appear, chose a jet dunk that jumped from behind the rebound in the first move, and the judges scored 45 points.

The second action is more difficult, smashing the board and changing hands under the crotch.

The basketball was dunked into the basket, and the judges unanimously gave a perfect score of 10 points, for a total of 50 points.

In this way, Jason Richardson scored a total of 95 points with two dunks and reached the finals with Fred Jones.

In the finals, Fred Jones played first, he still used the floor to bounce the basketball, and then the incredible mid-air belly catch dunk, once again scored a perfect 50 points.

In the second button, he was ingenious and threw the ball into the audience outside the court.

A Tor, also wearing the Pacers' No. 20 jersey, stood up in the audience, and then Fred Jones received a bounce pass from the floor outside the court, also with an aerial dunk.

But unfortunately, perhaps because the accuracy of the coordination was too low and the difficulty was too high, Fred Jones failed to make several attempts, and finally only scored 36 points, with a total score of 86 points in the two rounds.

Jason Richardson, the action he chose was to dunk under the crotch after the basketball bounced to the ground, but unfortunately he didn't succeed several times, so he had to choose two other more ordinary actions, and finally only got a total score of 78 points.

In the end, Fred Jones won the slam dunk trophy with a performance of 86 points in the final!

……

In the four competitions the next day, the rocket won nothing and continued to play soy sauce......
