Chapter 175: Breaking the Record (2/5)
Novak scored 26 points and sent a lot of shock at the scene.
As the first one to play, then get such a high score, how can others play?
Mr. Barkley, who is in charge of the national broadcast, also thinks so: "Oh my God, 26 points, Steve Novak is definitely putting a lot of pressure on other people. There is no suspense about his promotion. ”
At this time, a picture also appeared on the big screen at the scene.
26 points, which is the highest score since the three-point contest was held, and the previous highest score was 25 points, which means that Novak broke the all-time record of the three-point contest as soon as he came up.
Knowing that Novak had broken the record, the cheers that had fallen slightly at the scene rang out again, and even more enthusiastically.
Chu Xuan and his group stood up excitedly and applauded vigorously.
Novak was extremely happy, laughed and came to Chu Xuan's side, high-fived and celebrated with his head coach.
"Steve, you really don't know how to act. As soon as you come up, you make the championship lose the suspense, how can others continue. Chu Xuan laughed.
In fact, Novak scored 26 points and undoubtedly booked a place in the promotion.
In this way, other people have definitely become supporting roles.
"Chu, that's no way, I have to do this, I need a three-point king title." Novak's self-confidence has swelled, and he is no longer modest.
You know, he's just a fringe player, and if he retires, his name will definitely be drowned in history.
And for him, the only way to get his name mentioned is through three-point shooting, and if he wins the three-point title, then the next generation will definitely remember him.
Now that he has dropped 26 points with a very smooth hand, Novak is starting to get excited and excited.
"Steve, I also hope you can take the three-point title, the Lakers need someone to make that history."
Since the first three-point contest was held in '86, no Lakers player has won the three-point title, and Novak does have a hope of making history for the Lakers at this time.
"Chu, I will do my best, this is an opportunity for history to remember me." Novak is confident.
Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't think that Novak could safely get the three-point king, the variables in this were too big.
"Steve, there's no doubt about your three-point ability, but sometimes the mentality is more important, and I think you need to maintain the mentality before the three-point game starts." Chu Xuan's eyes moved, and he suddenly reminded.
When Novak heard this, he was slightly stunned, but then he thought about it.
**********
The second to appear is Kevin Love, who is two meters and eight meters tall and is a standard floor flow power forward, and the three-point shot is one of his unique skills. This season, Love hit 103 three-pointers in 49 games and shot 41.5 percent from the field.
Lefou's three-point ability is quite good, and after a heart-pounding shot, Lefu scored 22 points.
This score is a very good score in the past, but it is indeed a bit overshadowed by Novak's aura of 26 points.
Then, it was Lillard's turn to play.
Lillard's expression was rather serious, and he made no secret of his pressure.
The three-point shot is one of Lillard's primary scoring tools, and this season, he hit a league-high 127 three-pointers while shooting a whopping 39.7 percent.
It can be said that excellent shooting is the biggest reliance that can make him a star in the future.
Lillard came on the court, and there was a lot of cheer on the scene, and obviously, this guy also has a lot of fan support.
The 25-ball shot was done quickly, but Lillard's result was not to be flattered.
14 points, that's Lillard's score.
Obviously, this is not his normal level, and the pressure is still affecting his performance.
The last player to appear in the Western Army was Curry, who has the title of "perverted quasi", and Curry has already conquered countless fans with his unreasonable style of play. And in this All-Star three-point game, Curry received the most support.
In the eyes of the vast majority of fans, Curry is the one who can win the title of three-point king.
Even with Novak's 26-point shooting, the voices in favor of Curry were still incredibly dense.
When it was Curry's turn to shoot, Moeshen's expression was quite calm, as if he really didn't have any pressure.
I have to say that Curry's shooting is really full of dead ends, and the shooting rate is quite stable. Five shooting points, all of which hit 4 balls. That is, Curry hit 16 goals while Novak hit just 14.
However, four of the five balls Curry threw away, which means that Curry "only" scored 25 points and lost to Novak by one point.
After Curry's shot, Novak pumped his fist excitedly, and he finally advanced to the three-point finals without danger, and he had to face the winner of the East.
In fact, speaking of which, when Curry was shooting, everyone was scared. Novak, in particular, had already scored 25 points when Curry had one flower ball left. And the last flowerball, he missed, and finally lost to Novak.
Chu Xuan also couldn't stop shaking his head when he saw this result, obviously, in this year's All-Star Game, Novak's luck seems to be quite good, maybe he really has the possibility to get the three-point king for the Lakers.
The competition for the West team is over, and it is the turn of the East team to shoot.
After a tense competition, the final result was decided.
The guy who made the cut was quite surprising, and even Chu Xuan thought it was incredible, it turned out to be Anthony.
"Haha, Carmelo, do you see it, I'll just say I'm optimistic about him." Knoll grinned excitedly, and he finally saved $5,000 for the time being.
The final is coming, and the most depressed are LaVine and Zhang Yang, both of whom think that the players have been eliminated.
Brother Alphabet smiled: "Norris, Carmelo will not be Steve's opponent, he was definitely lucky just now." In the next final, Steve would abuse him. Haha, I should have won this bet, $10,000, hehe. ”
"Norris, that's not necessarily, Carmelo is the one who can score 37 points in 14 minutes, and his scoring explosion is very strong. Judging by the game, he obviously felt good today. ”
Anthony scored 37 points in 14 minutes that happened in the London Olympics in 12, in the game between the Dream Ten team and Nigeria, Anthony scored 37 points in 14 minutes and 29 seconds, including 10 of 12 three-pointers.
When Chu Xuan said this, Brother Alphabet's expression was obviously nervous, as if he was afraid that the duck in his hand would fly.
"Well, I'll admit that Carmelo is very good at scoring, but I still think Steve will win." Brother Alphabet said firmly.
When Chu Xuan heard this, he just smiled and said nothing, why didn't he want Novak to get the three-point king.
……
Soon, the three-point final began.
Anthony scored less points than Novak in the preliminary round, so he needed to be the first to shoot.
Anthony has been a big part of his three-point shooting this season, hitting 121 three-pointers so far, including a career-high 40.1 percent from three-point range.
It's fair to say that Anthony has been one of the league's leading scorers this season.
When he took the bottom foot, the other three members of the "Dust Four" led by James began to cheer for Anthony on the sidelines again.
The fans at the scene, driven by several people, seemed extremely enthusiastic.
With Anthony's goal, every time the basketball is in the bag, the fans erupt more than once.
In the first basket, Anthony hit all five of the balls and scored six points. And in the second basket, it was still five shots, and Anthony's score came to 12 points.
"Oh my God, Carmelo broke out, 100 per cent hit? He's going to take three points!! ”
Barkley looked incredulous, and of the players who participated in this year's three-point contest, Barkley was the least favored by Anthony. However, Anthony not only reached the final, but also threw so brutally in the first two points.
Anthony's five flower balls are placed in the center circle.
One Goal Hit!
Many people think that this is a good sign, will Anthony shoot all five flower balls?
But, unfortunately, Anthony missed the second flower ball.
Immediately after that, the third pop-up box came out, and the fourth pop-up box came out.
After three consecutive non-scores, the fans' expectations were obviously a lot smaller, and Anthony's heart was slightly nervous.
At this point, Anthony was a superstar who showed his brilliance and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
In the end, Anthony scored 25 points.
"That's a pretty high score, and I don't think Steve Novak can shoot 26 points twice in a row." Barkley expressed doubts.
This is also Chu Xuan's question.
You know, in the three-point contest, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be able to score two high points.
Obviously, the pressure is on Novak's side, and Anthony has a good chance of winning the three-point title.
Novak stands and waits for kick-off.
At this time, the big screen showed Novak's individual performance this season.
"He averaged 6.3 minutes per game, contributed 3.8 points, shot 51.1 percent from three-point range, and hit a total of 27 three-pointers."
It's a standard role player contribution, and it shows Novak's value in the NBA. He's a three-point shooter and a fringe figure on the team.
However, in the three-point shootout, there is no distinction between high and low status, and those who can score high points will win the title of three-point king.
"Calm down, that's what you should do." Novak's figure of Chu Xuan came to mind, and his head coach had always asked him to do so.
Soon, Novak actually calmed down.
And so the unthinkable happened.
Novak conceded three balls in the first three racks, two of which were flowers.
And then there was a surprising scene.
The next 10 balls, Novak hit them all.
At this time, the audience was absolutely silent.
With 29 points, Novak once again broke the record he had set in the preliminary round.
The fans erupted in a wild shout, and they shouted the three-point king.
Anthony congratulated Novak, who was convinced.
When the on-site reporter came to interview Novak, who was holding the trophy and grinning, this guy said: "I love my coach Chu Xuan, he gave me the best guidance. (To be continued.) )
