Chapter 419: True Accuracy
Due to the impact of Turgon, there are eight players participating in the three-point contest, and you must know that at the Denver All-Star Game three years ago, only four players participated in the All-Star Game, and there were many voices at that time that the All-Star Game should be canceled.
The reason why eight players participated in the All-Star Game was because the league wanted to show the league's teams that they were determined to improve the league's existing culture, and Turgun was the focus of the league's active promotion, and many three-point shooters hoped to make a name for themselves through this game.
The first to appear was Mavericks veteran Philip Knight, who was the 37-year-old pitcher at home to the cheers of the crowd.
He hit 15 of the 25 balls, including three of the five two-point shots, indicating that he scored a total of 18 points, which is already a very impressive result, and the final winner of the embarrassing Denver All-Star Game three-point contest three years ago was only 19 points.
Stephen Chambers was the second to play, and it was clear that he wasn't comfortable showing his three-point ability in such a public setting, missing one shot in the first two points, not hitting three shots until the top of the arc, and hitting all two points in the last two, so that Stephen scored 16 points, which is still a passable result.
The next two players were younger pitchers, and although they had better performances on their respective teams, they were a little nervous in the three-point contest, one of them shot 12 points, while the other scored only 9 points, and finally had to return to their seats with an embarrassed face.
The two young pitchers were followed by two league veterans.
The three-point shot does have a phenomenon of getting older and more accurate, many players dominate the basketball world with excellent physical fitness or excellent basketball awareness when they are young, but few young players show a very stable hand, and when the physical fitness of these players begins to decline, they will find that the three-point shot plays an important role, so many veterans in the league will only have a more accurate shooting ability when they are getting older.
And the two veterans who appeared this time are this type of players, veterans who are approaching the end of their careers were originally not used to participate in such a three-point competition, but after some consideration, they finally decided to participate, after all, it is a huge temptation for these veterans to be able to get involved with some of the league's top executives.
The two veterans showed a good hand, and their first two points were kept in the middle, which made the fans present exclaim, but after the third point, the veteran's flaws appeared, their shooting rhythm was too slow, and this kind of three-point contest that not only needs to be more stable than shooting, but also faster than shooting speed is really not suitable for this kind of habitual veteran shooter.
As a result, both veterans failed to shoot all of their shots, one scoring 15 points and the other scoring 14 points.
In fact, according to the results of previous three-point competitions, the performance of these two veterans has been good, and in several three-point competitions, you can enter the finals if you shoot more than 15 points.
Although the penultimate player is not a veteran, he is definitely a veteran in the three-point contest.
This player named Leonard Burriman has maintained the habit of participating in the three-point contest every year since he entered the league, he is a pure pitcher, he has been trained by his father since he was a child, although he has been in the league for ** years, there are still no outstanding results, but he can be regarded as a real king in the three-point contest, he has won the three-point contest championship three times, and this time Leonard participated again to compete with Turgon.
Leonard has changed four teams in his ** year NBA career, although he has a very good three-point shooting ability, but has not been taken seriously, with the emergence of Turgun and the Runners, Leonard feels that he sees hope, he believes that he should be better than Turgon, more suitable to be the core of this amazing runner team, he hopes to prove himself through this three-point contest, and get the recognition of the Runners management.
Leonard was a three-time three-pointer contest winner, hitting his first two points and missing two shots from the third point at the top of the arc, but luckily Leonard hit the ball at this point.
In the next two points, Leonard missed two goals with his head shot and missed the flower ball, much to Leonard's dissatisfaction.
In this way, Leonard scored a total of 22 points, which is the first time in the history of the three-point competition, and it has to be said that Leonard's three-point ability is really outstanding.
When Turgun finally came out, the screams of the female fans were much louder as soon as he appeared, much to the envy of several other participants.
Wearing the dark blue jersey of the Runners, Turgun easily started shooting from the first point.
His movements didn't look flustered at all, each ball maintained a steady rhythm, and every shot was as if it were the same as the last.
Turgun's basketballs almost always go straight into the net in the same arc.
The first point, all-in.
Turgun, who threw all-in, ran to the second point at a jogging pace, and a 45-degree angle was Turgon's best shot, and many of his shots in the game came at this point.
It's still a perfect arc, it's still all-in.
There were already a lot of excited fans at the scene, although someone had already thrown the first two points of the score, but in comparison, Turgun seemed more calm and freehand.
Coming to the top of the arc, the first ball Turgun shot a little bigger, and the ball bounced off the basket, but the next four balls flew into the basket again.
On the other side, at a 45-degree angle, the fans were already cheering, because Turgun's result had surpassed everyone before, and he still had five goals to miss.
At the last point, with more than fifteen seconds left, Turgun threw a full shot again, like a programmed machine.
Scoring 25 shots and conceding one goal is an astonishing three-point shot, and while many believed Turgun would win the three-point contest before the game, no one would have thought that he would prove his worth in such a way.
I believe that everyone who has watched this three-point contest will exclaim to Turgun at this time: "It's really accurate!" ”。
