"I can't believe my eyes if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes......" Blanton, who was sitting next to Addison. Knight rubbed his eyes and looked at the arena in disbelief, "That Beverley guy actually won?!" ”

The first group of players in the Skills Challenge was Patrick. Beverly and Isaiah. Thomas, basically no one thinks to replace John. Wall's Beverley was able to beat Thomas, who was known as the 'Little Assassin'. But the result was so unexpected, the Rockets point guard eliminated Thomas Jr., leaving the 'strongest 175 centimeters on the surface' out of the game.

Addison had been sitting on the sidelines and watching, and to be honest, Beverley's victory was a bit of a surprise to him. The most difficult events in the Skills Challenge are undoubtedly the designated pass and final spot-up shot, while the rest of the obstacles and layups can be completed by a player who has mixed in the professional league, and the time is not too different.

Although Beverley is a functional point guard, his basic ball handling skills are still good, and he does not gap with Thomas Jr. when crossing obstacles. But in the designated pass, Beverley made three passes to throw the basketball into the frame, and Thomas Jr. made his first attempt.

At this time, basically everyone thought that Thomas Jr. would win easily, but when he made the last fixed-point shot outside the three-point line, Thomas Jr., who has always been good at shooting, actually hit two irons in a row, which surprised everyone watching the game. Beverley took advantage of the opponent's cold hand to come from behind, rushed to the three-point line and hit a lethal shot, accurately hitting the fixed-point shot!

As a functional point guard, Beverley is often used to receive Harden's pass and shoot in the open space during the game, and the shooting is exactly the rhythm he is most familiar with. Isaiah in this regard. Thomas was not convinced, although there was a lot of luck in his elimination from the competition, but Beverley's strength is also undeniable.

Ell, it looks like I'm going to have to pay attention to this too......

Addison got up from his seat and was in the second group against Orlando Magic's point guard Elfried. Peyton. As rookies in the same class, the two of them played each other in the NCAA, but Addison has been the dominant player against Payton, even in the NBA.

The appearance of the Chinese point guard once again resounded with cheers in the court, and he walked to the starting point with Payton, putting on a kind face and listening to the referee's babbling instructions.

"Elfried is a good point guard, with a height of 6'4" and great physicality, and he should develop into a good point guard over time. He can average 8.2 points and 6.1 assists per game this season, and to be honest, if it weren't for Addison's 15+10 per game, he would have been able to get into the eyes of those basketball experts. "Kenny. Smith browsed Elfried. Payton's player report can't help but say with some regret.

"Hey, Kenny, that's the brutality of the NBA. I admit that this little guy from the University of Louisiana is a good seedling, but who let him have such a rookie in front of Addison as a much more dazzling than him? Barkley let out a sneer, he had always believed that attention and fame were to be won by himself, "Don't think about waiting for fair treatment in the business league, unless he can make a stronger performance than Addison, he will always be suppressed by the other party." ”

"High fives again, Sir Charles! We are on the same page! "Reggie. Miller shouted and gave Barkley a high-five, "The world of competitive sports will never allow you to sit there and wait for someone else to find out or say a nice word for you, and if you can't outdo your opponents, you'll have to be inferior." Honestly, guys, at the start of the season did you think Addison could be a strong contender for Rookie of the Year? If it weren't for his convincing performance, I'm afraid that with the inexplicable superiority of the North American media, the current public opinion would only criticize and satirize this Chinese! ”

Kenny. Smith and Kevin. Hearing this, Harlan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Miller's paranoid and straightforward personality makes it difficult for him to express himself tactfully in the commentary, and what he said just now may have caused him to attract the resentment of many media reporters. But Reggie. Miller has never been afraid of this, and a verbal battle with the media will make him find a feeling of excitement in his quiet retirement life. When it comes to spraying people, it's deep for Larry. Miller, the essence of Bird's trash talk, has never been afraid of anyone......

***

The sound of "Four, Three, To, One......" resounded on the court and caused both participants to tense up and rush out with their basketballs almost at the same time!

Unlike Payton's all-out sprint, Addison didn't run very fast, because the first obstacle didn't require the ball carrier to sprint, but rather to test the ball carrier's dribbling frequency and footwork dexterity.

"Dazzling dribbling! Addison's dribble position is almost twice as low as Elfried's! Dribble twice as often! "Charles. Barkley was amazed and said, "Can I say this is a direct reflection of the difference in possession between the two? ”

Easily navigating a series of obstacles, Addison even showed off a pull ball when he crossed the last obstacle, and then pushed the basketball with both hands in front of his chest! The moment the basketball left his palm, Addison rushed to the next event without looking, and the ball obediently slipped into the frame as he expected!

"Confidence! Super confident!! I could clearly feel Addison's confidence in his ability to pass!! "Reggie. Miller smiled appreciatively, "That's right!" Just like a super shooter is absolutely confident in his shots, if a good point guard can't trust his ball-handling ability, he might as well leave the league early! ”

"But Addison's worst part is coming soon...... "Kenny. Smith couldn't help but smack his lips as he watched Addison, who had easily completed the layup, dribble to the outside of the three-point line for fixed-point shooting.

At this time Elfried. Payton had been thrown out of the way by Addison, and he missed the box on two consecutive passes. Addison, who came to the designated spot outside the three-point line, slammed into a rhythm, then jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.

This time Lady Luck wasn't on his side, and Addison's shot bounced off the front basket. And Elfried, who finally made the pass over there. Payton had already completed the layup and was coming over quickly, and the two men were getting closer and closer.

"I'll just say that's Addison's worst part, and I hope Isaiah. Don't repeat Thomas's tragedy in Addison...... "Kenny. Smith's chin was a little depressed, and from a subjective point of view, he still hoped that Addison would win.

Addison is certainly not Isaiah. Thomas, he's not a man who is used to wasting opportunities. After taking the second basketball, the Chinese point guard exhaled a long breath, jumped up again before Payton rushed over, and shot the basketball steadily!

"!!Shh The three-point shot that was hollowed into the net made the whole court suddenly agitated, and Addison also showed a faint smile on his face, and turned to Elfrid who was holding the basketball before he had time to shoot it. Peyton gave him a hug.

"Haha, Addison is so bad! I don't believe he didn't see the embarrassment on Elfried's face! Barkley laughed and exclaimed, "Dwyane in the audience looked excited, and as a former Skill Challenge champion, he must hope that Addison, the future of Miami, will also win this honor!" ”

Addison, who had secured the cut, returned to his seat to watch the others play, and then Jeff. Teague defeated Brandon, who had made a mistake in the passing event. Knight, and Kyle. Lowry easily defeated Dennis, who was nervous from start to finish. Schroeder.

"Except for Patrick. Aside from Beverley, the rest of the qualifiers were expected by me. "Reggie. Miller analyzed, "Hey, guys, maybe Beverley will be the biggest dark horse in this game!" ”

"Do you think that 'Houston Badger' can win the Skill Challenge?!" Kevin. Harlan questioned in surprise.

"No, I think he might make it to the final...... And then lose to Addison! "Reggie. Miller's eyebrows raised, revealing his identity as 'Amy' in an instant.

"Do you think Addison is a rookie who can beat Jeff. Teague or Kyle. Lowry?! "This time Kevin. Harlan was even more surprised.

"Why not? Addison's ball handling is impeccable, and as long as he can shoot the final three-pointer a little more steadily, winning the championship will not be a problem. "Reggie. Miller shrugged his shoulders nonsensibly and replied lightly. If Barkley's consistent bias in favor of Addison in his commentary has a certain entertainment effect, then Reggie. Miller, on the other hand, is a very strong supporter based on his in-depth knowledge of Chinese point guards.

He and Bill. Wharton, like that, he really wants Addison to be the faithful 'Amy' of a generation of historic point guards.
