Wu Huang Bai picked up a "Skills Challenge" title, and when the trophy was handed to him, Wu Huang was a little unsure that he could knock out Nash and Deron Williams, and that luck factor was at least half of it.

After the skills challenge, Wu Huang has been preparing for a long-term three-point competition, and he has worked hard in this competition, and he is bound to win the championship.

In addition to Wu Huang and Gallinari, the players participating in this year's three-point contest include Pierce and Billups, two veteran All-Stars. In addition, last year's three-point champion Daquine Cook and Warriors rising star Stephen Curry are not fuel-efficient lamps.

The Three-Point Contest became a traditional All-Star Weekend event in 1986, and Larry Bird was the undisputed king of the tournament in the first few years, winning the first three consecutive three-point contests, and the classic phrase "Who's second" is a testament to Bird's boldness and strength.

In the 1989 three-point contest, which was won by the lesser-known Dale Ellis, Krag Hollins became the three-point contest champion from '90 to '92.

Of course, there is another interesting story in the 1990 three-point contest, that is, the basketball god Michael Jordan also participated in the three-point contest, but he only scored five points in the first round, which is also the lowest personal score in the history of the NBA three-point contest. For Jordan, who blindly challenged this event that he was not good at, this may be one of his few stains and black history.

After a brief period of success at the end of the century when sharpshooters such as Kerr and Hornacek overpowered other shooters, the three-point contest has actually begun to decline in terms of influence and spectacle since the turn of the century. Ray Allen won the three-point contest in 2001. However, he scored only 19 points in the final that year. This is undoubtedly a lower score. After Stojakovic won the three-point contest championships in '02 and '03, the three-point contest championships were mostly won by some little-known role players.

Dirk Nowitzki in 2006 was the last player to win the three-point contest and could still be called a star, but if you look at the awkward positions of Capono and Richardson in their respective teams, you can almost imagine the fact that the level of the current champion of the tournament is becoming more and more difficult to expect.

This year's All-Star Game has once again invited strong reinforcements to participate, Chauncey Billups and Paul Pearce, two All-Star players who have been on the court for more than ten years, are undoubtedly the "big names" invited by NBA officials to enhance the attention of the game. And now the hot Wu Huang has raised the star flavor of the game to a higher level again. This three-point contest is finally no longer a tasteless and discarded chicken rib game.

It will be interesting for fans to see if the two veterans can perform well in the three-point contest today and finally step up to defeat the surging Wu Huang to win the championship, so as to re-focus more fans on the slam dunk contest on the second day.

Charles Barkley returned to the commentary booth before the game to introduce the fans to the six people who participated in the game.

Wu Huang (Knicks): Wu Huang is the player who has the same number of three-point shots made and three-point field made as of All-Star Weekend this season, while still being able to maintain a three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%. Because of this, the media listed Wu Huang as one of the favorites before the game, although this was the first time he faced such a high-pressure match, and he was more of a competitive goalscorer. I'm afraid that the three-point contest will not be suitable for such a way of playing, but considering Wu Huang's three-point record in the NCAA and NBA. Many still put the number one seed on him.

Steve Curry (Warriors): Curry has been playing better and better this season, and he's in great shape, and he's confident and easy to find his rhythm. And he has a whopping 42 percent three-point shooting percentage. Although he is young, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has waited all his life to get this opportunity, so Curry is arguably one of the two or three most promising to win the championship.

Gallinelli (Knicks): Knicks coach D'Antoni called Gallinelli one of the best shooters he's ever seen, which is an exaggeration, but admittedly his soft touch when shooting and the shaking of his wrist when throwing the ball out will make you feel like he's about to hit a three-pointer.

Billups (Nuggets): Billups has made 1,500 three-pointers in his career, and his good power is the biggest guarantee for his shooting, and now Billups has already proven himself to be a big-hearted shooter, so even if there is a slow start to the game, Billups will probably not be discouraged.

Pierce (Celtics): Although Pierce has made more than 1,400 three-pointers in his career and has a three-point shooting rate of nearly 40%, Pierce is not the favorite to win the three-point contest because his shooting speed is really not fast, and Pierce will definitely suffer a lot in such a fast-paced three-point contest.

Cook (Heat): Cook was last year's three-point contest champion when he defeated Magic's Lewis in the playoffs. Championship history may give him some confidence, but the problem is that the Heat have never used him as an important piece outside the three-point line this season, and he has only hit 27 three-pointers so far, so Cook's chances of defending the title are too slim.

Of course, if you look purely at the three-point shooting percentage, Pierce is the most likely to inherit Bird's great cause, because his three-point shooting rate this year is as high as 46%, ranking third in the league, behind Gibson and Dudley, and the first two failed to participate in this three-point competition.

The Nuggets' Billups is second only to Pierce in three-point shooting, with 43 percent from three-point range, which ranks eighth in the league. Stephen Curry also shot 42 percent from three-point range, and Wu Huang and Gallinari were both above 40 percent.

But the hit rate is not the only data to refer to, to become a recognized marksman, in addition to a super high hit rate. You also need to have a high output performance. Therefore. The 5 challengers who were shortlisted for this year's three-point competition. There are four people who can shoot more than two three-pointers per game, among them, Wu Huang can shoot an average of 3.1 three-pointers per game, which is the league's first so far in the new season. Pierce and Stephen Curry are averaging 1.9 and 1.8 shots per game, respectively, despite averaging fewer than two per game.

Defending champions, the Heat's Cook's form has plummeted this season, shooting just 30% from three-point range and averaging less than one three-point shot per game.

Reggie Miller's sister interviewed Wu Huang before the game. The No. 1 seed said that he has been practicing the three-point shooting in training, "In training, many times, like going to the training gym at night, I always arrive early before the training, and at that time, basically no one is in the training gym. ”

Wu Huang can be said to be a little embarrassed, and he is embarrassed to boast that he went to train before dawn in the morning, but in fact, there is no such thing at all. He had barely seen the sun at four or five o'clock in the morning in New York! Because of this time, he usually sleeps with his sister in his arms. Even if you accidentally wake up. It was also early in the morning to come and go back to sleep, so it was pure bragging.

The fans in front of the TV didn't know that Wu Huang was running the train with his mouth full, and they really thought that he was so hardworking, no wonder he had his current results, it turned out to be soaked in sweat!

The three-point contest has a relatively simple format, with a shooting point at the top arc of the three-point line, and a shooting point at a 45-degree angle on both sides of the baseline and each side, forming a total of 5 three-point shooting locations. Each player needs to complete the shooting of five shooting points within 1 minute of the specified time, and each shooting point needs to shoot five balls, of which the first four are ordinary balls, which are counted as one point, and the fifth is a suit show ball, and the input is worth two points. After the six players in the first round have completed the competition, the three players with the highest overall score will be selected to enter the final, and the rules of the final are no different from the first round.

The six players chatted briefly before the game, and then a draw was held to determine the order of play.

Pierce was the first to play, he was already on the sidelines, and the game was about to start.

Several girls in front of the TV were looking forward to the competition that Wu Huang was best at, and Taylor Swift asked Emma Roberts for another purpose at this time: "Emma, I bought Hugo 100,000 yuan to win the championship, how much did you buy?" ”

Emma Roberts was about to say, "I bought 200,000 yuan, that's half of my savings", but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly changed her words and asked in a puzzled tone, "Do you mean spinach?" I didn't know how to buy it, I didn't buy it. ”

When Taylor Swift heard this, he thought that Emperor Wu didn't teach her how to buy spinach, and his heart suddenly became happy, and he secretly said Hugo didn't care about you so much after all, otherwise how could he not let you buy him to win.

At the scene of the game, Pierce was the first to appear, and after a dazzling light effect in the cowboy gymnasium, the game finally began......

The three-point contest has a one-minute time limit, and the Green Captain is too slow to shoot, a little slow at first, scoring a total of 5 points in the first two points, and then he feels better and better, hitting two flower balls, but it is always difficult to score consecutive shots, and in the end he only scored 17 points, which is so-so.

Billups was on the second floor, and he shot much faster, hitting four shots in a row at the beginning, and he got into the groove very quickly. It's a pity that Mr. Key is weak in the follow-up, and Billups is actually a game-type player, and finally ended the preliminaries with 17 points.

Gallinari came out in third, hitting three shots from the first penalty but missing the shot. The second point was even worse, hitting only two balls. Gallinari, the point at the top of the arc, made five shots, and he played his best here. It's a pity that the Italians didn't shoot very well in the last two points, and it can be seen that he was too excited after throwing the third point, and the final score was only 15 points, and the last two points only hit two balls.

Wu Huang stood on the sidelines, and couldn't stop snickering in his heart, the results of the first three were really not a threat in his eyes, especially Gallinari only scored 15 points, which is usually not at this level in training, but this time he obviously played abnormally, I don't know if it was because his master stood behind him because of too much pressure on him?

Curry came out on the fourth floor, hitting all four of his first four shots on the first spot, but missed the ball. The second point is concocted in the same way, and only the last colored ball misses. In the last three points, Curry's shooting percentage dropped slightly, and he only hit one color ball in the whole game, but Curry still scored 18 points and temporarily ranked first.

The fifth one to appear is Wu Huang, who participated in the three-point contest for the first time, but he didn't even have a little nervousness in his heart, as if he had experienced a hundred battles and won a hundred battles.

In this kind of competition, even veterans like Pierce and Billups will have a certain amount of pressure, but Wu Huang does not have the slightest pressure, and I am afraid that few people will believe it when he says it, because even he himself does not believe it.

Wu Huang didn't know why he wasn't nervous, anyway, as soon as he stood on the field, he felt surprisingly relaxed, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart.

The lights on the court flickered on and off, and suddenly there was a sharp whistle, and Wu Huang's front became bright, and his game began......

Wu Huang didn't deliberately adjust the pace of shooting, and the first shot slowed down his usual shooting speed a little, but after shooting a shot, he suddenly accelerated his shooting speed. Then, if he misses, he slows down the next shot, and that's how he shoots.

"Whew...... Bang...... Whew...... Bang...... "Wu Huang's rhythm ......of the game is unique, as long as the previous ball is thrown, he doesn't need to aim next, just rely on the feeling of his body to shoot at the fastest shooting speed...... And once you miss, the next shot has to be aimed at before shooting......

No one has ever conducted a three-point contest like this, it looks like a few blind shots, but Wu Huang's shooting rate is amazingly high, he also hit all five goals at the top of the arc, and other points can generally shoot three or four balls, so there is still one point left in the game, Wu Huang has scored 17 points, and when the last point is finished, the 22-point record is enough to ensure that he enters the finals.

At the end of the game, Wu Huang glanced at the timer, there were still 9 seconds left on it, if he was a little more accurate, I am afraid that the remaining time would be more than ten seconds.

Many fans are stupid, they have never seen such a three-point method, people think that 60 seconds is not enough, for example, Pierce almost didn't finish the game on time just now, how can there be a pervert like Wu Huang who left nearly ten seconds of game time?

"Incredible! Hugo's speed at the shot makes it feel like he's having a jerkle. Reggie Miller served as the commentator of the three-point contest, and the well-informed marksman could only give such an evaluation, Wu Huang's convulsive shooting is really unprecedented, especially with such a fast shooting speed and such a high shooting rate, it is even more unheard of.
