The history of the Skills Challenge is relatively short, from the addition of All-Star Weekend in '03 to the history of 13 years now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoThis year's Toronto Skills Challenge is the 14th time in history. When it comes to skill matches, it's easy to think of defenders, players who are technically good, and often this is when they show off their skills.

However, in the last two or three years, tricks competitions are no longer the preserve of the little men who are known for their dexterity. Some of the most technically brilliant big men are starting to come into the fandom and show off their unique and outstanding side through trick matches. At All-Star Weekend in '14, Antetokounmpo, who is nearly seven feet tall, upset Lillard to win the tricks title, setting a precedent for big men to become the tallest tricks champion. In the following 15 years of New York All-Star, Kobe Bryant became the oldest tricks champion, also making history. And this year's 16-year Toronto All-Star, many people feel that maybe there will also be a new history.

This year's Skills Tournament featured a total of eight players, and for the first time in history, there were four interior players. The addition of the big men makes the game even more interesting, and many people can't help but marvel at the fact that the new generation of interior players is ushering in an era that has never been seen before with their outstanding all-round skills.

The four interior players are Draymond Green of the Trail Blazers, Cousins of the Kings, Anthony Davis of the Pelicans, and Towns of the Lakers, while the four outside players are Thomas of the Jazz, Clarkson of the Knicks, C.J. McCollum of the Trail Blazers, and Curry of the Warriors.

Before the game began, the top call for a championship was Curry, whose ball-handling skills and dexterity were definitely second to none in the league. Therefore, when he appeared on the stage of the skills competition, the media and fans were unanimously optimistic that he would become the champion of the skills competition. However, the end result was extremely surprising. In the finals, Curry lost to the dark horse Towns and was the runner-up.

There was a lot of luck in Downs becoming the skills champion, but the results speak for themselves. Towns became a 16-year skills champion and set two all-time records, the first being that he was the first player in NBA history to win the championship as an insider. Second, the Lakers won the Skills Division for the third year in a row, which should undoubtedly be one of the hardest records to break in the coming decades, after all, it is really difficult to have the same team win the Skills Division three years in a row.

Chu Xuan sent a text message to Downs as soon as possible, congratulating him on winning the All-Star Weekend honor.

Downs's upset made the All-Star Weekend attract more attention, and Chu Xuan also felt that this year's Toronto All-Star was very interesting, not only slightly regretting not going to the scene to watch the game. In order to make up for his regrets, Chu Xuan stayed in front of the TV, waiting to watch the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest.

In the stadium of the Air Canada Centre, the fan craze blows away the endless cold.

The big screen is now showing the players who participated in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest.

This year's eight contestants are Curry, Thompson, LaVine, McDeer model, George, Lillard, Booker, Harden, and from the perspective of the player's individual strength, the Splash Brothers are second to none, and then Lillard and Harden...... Judging from the predictions, everyone is more optimistic about Curry winning the three-point title again this year.

The reason why Curry has such a high approval rating is, of course, because of his own strength. By the time of the All-Star break, Curry had made 200 three-pointers and shot a career-high 47.2 percent from the field. With a near-50% shooting rate, it's absolutely unbelievable for a prolific shooter.

The other seven players are also extremely strong, which makes the ownership of this year's three-point king still full of suspense.

Paul George, 192 three-pointers, 42.2 percent three-point shooting, averaging 26.7 points per game.

Thompson, 169 three-pointers, 44.1% three-point shooting.

McDeer model, 160 three-pointers, 39.3% three-point shooting.

Harden, 157 three-pointers, 43.9% three-point shooting.

CJ McCollum, 155 three-pointers, 42.5% three-point shooting. He averaged 20.1 points per game.

LaVine, 146 three-pointers, 42.3% three-point shooting. He averaged 17.7 points per game.

Devin Booker, 69 three-pointers, 35.8% three-point shooting, 19.1 minutes per game.

……

Devin Booker seems to be a little undercaliber compared to the other seven three-pointers. The reason why the league decided to invite him to participate in the three-point shooting contest is because it sees the potential of the league's youngest player, and also hopes to see him shine a little on the All-Star stage.

As one of the best three-pointers in 15 years, Booker's potential has been greatly recognized. The well-known media in the outside world have always believed that Devin Booker can become one of the best pure scorers in the NBA in five years, and some media even believe that he can become the second Ray Allen-style Ivy League scorer. It's all because of his excellent shooting feel and consistent shooting skills.

At the age of 19, appearing on the All-Star stage, Booker was indeed a little nervous, and he only scored 23 points in the preliminaries, and he luckily made it to the rematch. However, his ability to adjust well is at this point. In the rematch, Booker scored 28 points, just one point away from Novak's record of 29 in '14 and Curry's previous record of 29 last year. Although he couldn't tie the record, it was enough to win the three-point title if nothing else.

Curry created suspense for a while, his shooting touch was excellent, but I don't know if it was because of the pressure, he missed three consecutive shots in the last five balls, and finally only scored 27 points, losing to Devin Booker by one point, and failed to win the three-point title.

Like Downs, Devin Booker is a dark horse who has caused the biggest upset.

For such a situation, Chu Xuan was only amazed, Tang Si and Booker were too unexpected for him.

……

The trick game and the three-point contest are extremely refreshing to watch, and also create a great atmosphere for the final highlight of the slam dunk contest.

With the appearance of James, LaVine, Gordon, and Anthony Davis, the emotions of the spectators exploded, and the atmosphere was pushed to a commanding height.

"The pinnacle of the slam dunk contest, Zach LaVine vs LeBron James."

This is the central theme of this year's Toronto Slam Dunk Contest and the biggest gimmick.

The world is touting today's slam dunk contest as the strongest dunk showdown in slam dunk history.

And who will be the dunk king of this peak slam dunk contest? (To be continued.) )
