"Tang Shuai, from the Los Angeles Clippers!" The host was introduced according to the popularity from low to high, and Tang Shuai was the first to be introduced.

The spotlight hit Tang Shuai's body, and Tang Shuai waved to the audience.

There was a burst of excited cheers at the scene, the order of introduction was originally arranged, Tang Shuai should be the thinnest resume in this wave of people, but because of yesterday's earth-shattering battle, the cheers he caused were outrageously high.

The host waited for a while before the fans stopped cheering, and couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems that the MVP of our rookie game is very popular." ”

As soon as the host finished saying this, the fans at the scene suddenly cheered again, which made him very helpless.

When the fans calmed down, he wanted to say a few more words, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't bear to go back and turned his head to introduce the next person.

The fans couldn't help but laugh.

Bosh missed the All-Star Game due to blood clots, and his three-point game spot was replaced by CJ McCollum, which is also the second player to be introduced.

After McCollum, Redick, Leonard, Thompson, Harden, Lowry and Curry were introduced in turn.

Except for Curry and Lowry's voices, which overwhelmed Tang Shuai's introduction, everyone else turned out to be a lot weaker.

After the introduction of the players, the lights came on, and all the contestants, except for McCollum, retreated to the sidelines, and the first round of matches was about to begin.

The three-point contest and dunk contest have been the most-watched games outside of All-Star Weekend, and after Curry hit a record 27 points last season, the ratings of the three-point contest have also risen, and this year, with the addition of three-pointers like Redick and Leonard, the game has not yet started, and the audience has not been able to sit still.

A few years ago. In order to attract the attention of the three-point contest, the league changed the format of the game, but then changed it back.

Under the current rules, the game time is still one minute, and the bottom corners of both sides are added to the top of the arc, plus two 45-degree angles. There are a total of 5 points, 5 balls per point, a total of 25 balls, but the difference is that from 14 years onwards, there are four more flower balls, and players are allowed to place them at will, which means that there is a point that is full of flower balls, which makes the full score from 30 points to 34 points.

McCollum had already walked to the sideline by this time, shook his hand and prepared to start shooting.

The fans saw that the game was about to begin. All of them fell silent, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at half the court in unison.

McCollum took a deep breath and put his hands on the ball to get ready.

However, it may be the first time to participate in the competition, and from the big screen at the scene, you can see his hands shaking inadvertently.

"Toot!"

As soon as the whistle blows on the sidelines, the first round begins!

McCollum grabbed the ball quickly and threw it with a flick.

McCollum is averaging 2.4 three-pointers per game this season and is shooting around 40 percent. He's a player with a high percentage of three-point points and a good shooting percentage.

But maybe it was really too nervous, and the first ball was obviously too strong. smashed directly into the basket and jumped out of the basket.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

The great thing about the three-point contest is that he has a rule of 25 shots in one minute, and you don't have time to regret that the previous shot was missed, and you don't have time to think about other messy things.

McCollum's first ball was so strong that he didn't even think about it and just took the second ball and continued to shoot.

is still too strong, and jumped high after the basket jumped, causing another uproar from the fans.

Two goals in a row. Coupled with the voices of the fans at the scene, McCollum was visibly nervous, and the next three balls, including the angles in the flower ball, were all off.

The "bang" sound was endless, and McCollum was stunned at the first point, and he didn't score a goal.

Those stars in the front row, you'll watch you after you've seen it. With a "what's going on" look on his face, it was clear that McCollum didn't get off to a good start as the most gimmicky three-point contest.

However, McCollum's next performance made those stars a little unbearable.

The second point, perhaps realizing that the previous point was a little too strong, McCollum deliberately adjusted the intensity of his shot.

However, the strength was not deducted, and he directly threw a three-non-stick.

There was an uproar among the fans, even mixed with some boos.

The stars in the front row couldn't hold back their laughter.

McCollum, who replaced Bosh in the three-point contest, seems to be a disgrace.

After the second point was thrown, McCollum scored a total of 1 goal, because it was his flower point, so he scored 2 points, but this point did not need to be thrown, and he basically missed the next round of finals.

"You should know what I'm saying now, right? The three-point game is different from the usual game, and if you want to shoot well, you need to have a first-class mental quality. Smith turned to Maddie with some smugness at this time and said that McCollum's erratic play was a good validation of what he said earlier.

Maddie smiled and didn't speak, turning her head to look at Tang Shuai on the sidelines.

It took a total of 2 points to score 2 points, and McCollum himself knew that he had no hope of qualifying, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, no matter what he didn't advance, he slowed down the pace and threw on his own.

Not to mention, after really letting go, it had an unexpected result, and the third point was not what he was good at, including the flower ball, and all five balls were thrown.

This drew a burst of cheers from the audience.

McCollum played well on the remaining two points, but was so poor on the first two points that he only scored 15 points.

The second to appear is Reddick.

Redick is shooting 46% from three-point range this season, ranking third in the league, and it's worth mentioning that he's been in the league for ten years, and the three-point shot has been the main means of scoring, and the shooting percentage is pretty good, but it's such a player that this is his first time in the three-point contest.

Redick's appearance drew a round of applause from the fans, after all, McCollum's performance in the first round was really sorry for the audience.

Reddick walked to the sidelines, and the audience fell silent.

"Toot!"

As soon as the whistle blew on the sidelines, Redick grabbed the ball and threw it quickly.

It was the first time to participate in the game, but compared with McCollum, Redick was obviously much more stable, scoring three goals in the first point, although the final flower ball jumped out of the basket with some regrets, but the three points were still within the acceptable range.

And when it came to the second point, he continued to score four goals, including the final flower ball, and such a strong performance also attracted a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

And when it comes to the third point, even the contestants are paying all their attention.

This is Reddick's point of play, and if Reddick maintains his previous level, it is likely to lock in a promotion spot.

A total of 8 people participated in the competition, but only 3 people participated in the final finals, not to mention whether they won the championship or not, the competition for the promotion place was quite fierce. (To be continued.) )
