After listening to Emperor Wu's words, the three of them naturally didn't mind solving his doubts.

The All-Star Weekend Basketball Skills Contest is designed to test a player's overall ability, including dribbling, passing, and shooting, and every NBA player is expected to do these basic things well, at least for a certain amount of time.

The rules of the game are also very simple: after the referee's whistle, the players take the ball and complete a layup, then dribble through three obstacles, then they have five chances to make a chest pass, then another ground-hitting pass, then they will make a jump shot from 20 feet, after completing the jumper they will take another pass test, and then go around three obstacles and complete a layup.

The two players with the shortest time in the heats will advance to the finals, while the players with the shortest time in the finals will win the championship.

Wu Huang figured out the rules of the game, the props on the field were ready, and the game was about to start.

Nash's bodybuilding move to the sidelines before the game not only showed the league's veteran point guard's funny skills, but also reflected his relaxed mood for this competition. In contrast to Nash's limelight, the two rookies Jennings and Wu Huang are a little reserved, obviously wanting to fit into a basketball feast like the All-Star, and the two need to learn a lot from Big Brother.

The first to appear were two young men from the league, Wu Huang and Jennings.

Although these two are super scoring, they still need to hone their basic skills in passing, which is a point guard.

Jennings, who has been an eye-catcher this season, has two goals in quick succession from the first passing point that are far off target, and it looks like the contender for this season's Rookie of the Year is in the second half of the season. Still have to work on the passing. However, he hit the pass and the three-point link smoothly. But he made another mistake on the last long ball. It wasn't until the fourth time that it passed, and the race ended in 42.8 seconds

Wu Huang appeared for the second time, and the fans in the cowboy stadium immediately released huge cheers! In the invisible contest of popularity, Jennings is not qualified to challenge Wu Huang at all, even if the two veteran point guards may not be comparable to Wu Huang in popularity.

The league took good care of Wu Huang and knew that he was participating temporarily, and he might not know much about the rules of the game, so they arranged him to play in the second place. Let him have a ginseng creation.

"Didn't you hear he's going to compete in the Skills Challenge?" A few girls in front of the TV are still wondering at the moment, they are all waiting for the three-point competition, why did this guy run to participate in the skills challenge again?

Wu Huang at the scene took a deep breath, and under the gaze of nearly 100,000 fans, after hearing the whistle, he immediately pulled out his legs and rushed out......

Fans can see through the close-up camera that after the game started, Wu Huang's dribbling speed and rhythm were not fast, but the layup and dribbling were very smooth, but unfortunately he only won the second time in the first two passing points. Instead, he hit both three-pointers and free throws on the first shot, and then he missed again at the last pass. It took another second time to finish, and the race ended in 34.4 seconds.

At this time, through the replay, many commentators began to praise Wu Huang's wit, because he was not like Jennings who ran directly down a little after each pass, and then turned around and returned after the pass missed, which was a delay of at least a second.

Wu Huang is much more self-aware, he knows that he has not practiced beforehand, and the passing link is definitely not as accurate as others, so he confirmed that he would not make a mistake before running down, so that he would not waste extra time, although it would not be a good result.

Master Reasonable was full of praise for Wu Huang's choice at this moment: "Wu Huang temporarily replaced Rose to participate in the rookie challenge, he has not practiced beforehand, the best choice at this time is to be conservative, first get a bad result, increase his chance of entering the finals, and then wait for the opponent to make a mistake, so that the chance of promotion is the highest." ”

The third player was Nash, a Canadian who had competed in many Skills Challenges, breaking the all-time record for the fastest time in '04 and later by Deron Williams in '08.

However, Nash, the favourite, was not in good shape today, yesterday he was still in his native Vancouver, Canada for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, only Dallas in the morning, and then went to the hotel to rest for a while before participating in the afternoon training, extremely sleep-deprived and physically tired, much like Derrick Rose yesterday.

Nash nearly crashed into the cameraman at the start, which caused him to delay for two seconds and caused the audience to burst into laughter. However, he completed the next few events smoothly, all in one go, fully showing the demeanor of the league's top defenders. But in the mid-range jumper, Nash took two shots and a few more to complete, but the final pass took two more seconds to complete, totaling 35.5 seconds.

Wu Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines, since he participated in the competition, he naturally wanted to win the final championship. However, he didn't have a good time to finish the first round, so he didn't have a good chance of reaching the final, and he had to wait for others to make a mistake before he had a chance.

Fortunately, Nash's form was not good, especially the accident at the beginning that caused him to delay the fatal two seconds, otherwise it would be difficult for Wu Huang to enter the finals.

After the top three players completed the competition, Wu Huang was actually the shortest one, such a result even he couldn't believe that he really locked a place to enter the finals in advance?

Now the fourth DeLong will only be able to decide who will be the second to reach the final.

Deron Williams was the last to play, and he did very well, and he still holds the record for the fastest skill challenge, except for the three-point shot and the final pass that took two successes, the rest of the pass was a one-time pass, and it took 33.8 seconds to make Delon Williams and Wu Huang reach the final.

Wu Huang high-fived his teammates on the sidelines, and then Barkley stepped forward to interview, Wu Huang smiled: "From the beginning, I wanted to fight for second place in the preliminaries, which would allow me to reach the final. In the next finals, I will speed up and try to control the completion time to less than 30 seconds. But I haven't practiced before, so I can only see how lucky I am for a while, and if there is a link in a row, then I should go and congratulate DeLong on winning the championship. ”

Deron Williams finished first in the heats, and Wu Huang will be the first to appear in the final.

This time, Wu Huang's dribbling speed and rhythm really accelerated, his layup, dribble and short pass were very smooth, and the subsequent mid-range jumper also only tried once to complete the shot, but then the long-distance pass, Wu Huang was in trouble, here he took three times to complete, but this has exceeded his expectations, the final stroke, layup his speed is very fast, and it only took 31.1 seconds in the end.

As soon as Wu Huang finished the game, a pleasant sound effect was released on the spot, accompanied by the cheers of 90,000 fans, as if he had won the championship. I saw Wu Huang running all the way to the sidelines, raising his hands to respond to the support of the fans, which also showed that he was very satisfied with his results.

The live commentary of this game is Jason Kidd, the old monster against Wu Huang, commenting: "Hugo accelerated the speed of the dribble in the final stage, but he can always reduce the tempo immediately when passing, and can pass the ball successfully at a steady time, fast and slow, and the rhythm is just right." If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't very skilled with long passes, Hugo would have been able to finish the game in under 30 seconds. ”

CCTV's reasonable master smiled: "Wu Huang's performance in the final is more perfect than the previous round, although it took three attempts to succeed in the long pass, but the final score of 31.1 seconds is impeccable for a temporary substitute, and it will also make Delong full of pressure on the subsequent appearance, because the little fat man's shooting is not as superb as Wu Huang and Nash, once he misses the shooting link under pressure, then Wu Huang will win the championship." ”

Barkley looked wilted, and actually went to interview Delong after the Wu Huang game, although the little fat man was full of smiles in his speech, but the nervousness in his heart could not be avoided.

Wu Huang's results are not particularly good, and most of the champions of each session of the Skills Challenge are within 30 seconds. But the opponent is 31 seconds, which requires him not to make more than one mistake, otherwise he will lose the championship. But to control the time to 30 seconds, Delon is not too sure, he has already won once, plus he is still the fastest record in this competition, there is no special training before this competition, and the proficiency is far less than in 08.

DeLong was the last to play, and as expected, the little fat man accelerated at full speed as soon as he came on the court, and he hit the obstacles, passes and shooting points in one shot. However, in terms of speed, Delong, who was overweight, was obviously not as fast as the flexible Wu Huang. Then on the second pass, Delon made the same mistake as Jennings, and it wasn't until the third ball that it was finally completed.

The Jazz fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh, Delon was not as fast as Wu Huang's movements, and if he wanted to win, he had to rely on fewer mistakes, but just halfway through the game, he no longer had any advantage at all.

DeLong himself also clearly felt the pressure, and at the end of the long distance shooting link made another mistake, and the final 38.1 seconds also made him completely lose the opportunity to be crowned in the skills competition.

Barkley interviewed Wu Huang again this time, ****** first congratulated him on winning the Skills Challenge, and then asked Wu Huang how he felt after winning the championship.

Wu Huang smiled: "The Skills Challenge is just a warm-up event for All-Star Weekend, and I can feel that Stephen and Delon are just playing with the mentality of entertainment, while young players like us are competing with the mentality of winning championships, so it is not surprising or proud to win." He then added: "Judging from the performance this season, we juniors still need to learn from the evergreens of point guards like Nash and Kidd. I'm also a point guard, and I know Nash averaged 11.1 assists per game before the All-Star break, and we haven't learned the selflessness of theirs. (To be continued.) )
