All-Star Weekend is moving into its second day. With experience, Hayes didn't arrive at the arena early as he did last year, but only appeared when the crowd was full, killing countless reels of film in seconds.

Magic Johnson sat in the ESPN booth and beckoned to Hayes, who walked over and Johnson said, "Chuck, you have to win the Skills Challenge." ”

"I want to win too, but it depends on whether those three will make mistakes, and I'm at a disadvantage in terms of speed." Hayes said.

"Trick passing. Isn't this practiced in Los Angeles, let go of the movements, and you can increase your speed. Johnson said.

Hayes is going to compete in the technical challenge today, and people want to see what it turns out that an interior player and a defender will compete for. Hayes made a big splash in the three-point contest last season, and today everyone wants to see him break the record for the worst performance in the Skills Challenge.

After chatting with Johnson and Joan Barry, Hayes went to the T*NT commentary booth on the other side and greeted Barkley, Smith, Miller and others.

This time, Barkley sat honestly in the audience, and there was no such thing as racing. He's struggling with who to hack in this All-Star Game. Originally, he wanted to talk about Kobe and Gasol's "hugging the thigh" incident, but Kobe Bryant injured his finger and came to the game, which was not easy...... Reggie Miller also chatted with Hayes, and the legendary three-point king suggested that he pull out and shoot three-pointers. The number of three-pointers this season is too low, and it's a waste of ability.

In addition to several major TV stations in the United States, Imperial Court Radio 5 also sent Yu Jia and Zhang Reasonable partners to serve as on-site commentators.

The first event to be conducted is the All-Star Mixed Shooting Competition.

The specific rules of the mixed shooting game are as follows: The game consists of six shooting positions, followed by a 10-yard shot from the right side, a 15-yard shot from the left, a three-point shot at the top of the arc, an 18-yard shot from the bottom right corner, a three-point shot from the left, and a half-court shot. The three people shoot separately, the first person can shoot after the next person can shoot, and the winner is determined by a round of games, and the team that can complete the shot in the shortest time can win the championship.

There are four teams competing in the All-Star Mixed Shot, each consisting of a current NBA player, a WNBA player, and a retired NBA star. The three players in turn shot a total of six goals in different positions, and the team with the shortest time won the championship. This year's Star Shot Tournament will feature defending champions Detroit, Chicago, Phoenix and San Antonio.

San Antonio, who won the 2006 Shooting Contest in a record time of 25.1 seconds, beat the other three teams to win the championship with a time of 35.8 seconds.

Participants include 10-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA Finals MVP winner Tim Duncan, four-time WNBA All-Star guard Becky Harmon and two-time NBA champion David Robinson, one of the NBA's 50 greatest players.

The second is the Skills Challenge in which Hayes participates.

Wutai Yu Jia said: "O'Neal was not selected for the All-Star Game this season, which is a big pity for fans, O'Neal is like Zhao Benshan, he didn't go to the All-Star Game just like Zhao Benshan didn't go to the Spring Festival Gala." Fans called out to O'Neill en masse yesterday, but the shark was confined to the audience. ”

Zhang Li said: "O'Neal has not played well this season, and the fans are not good at voting for him. This year's hilarious task falls on Hayes' shoulders, so let's see if he can do it in a minute. ”

Yu Jia said: "I hope he won't delay the three-point shooting contest in the future." (You also look down on Hai Ye too much, right?) The Skills Challenge was first introduced to Atlanta's All-Star Weekend in 2003 to showcase the passing, dribbling and shooting skills of the league's best playmakers. The competition is divided into two stages, the preliminary round and the final, where four players complete several links such as dribbling, passing and shooting in a field with a variety of different obstacles, and the championship takes the least time in the final.

The first to come out of the preliminaries was Deron Williams, who made a good first few passes but wasted a little time on the shot and finished with 31.2 seconds.

Paul, who came out in second appearance, had a small problem with his pass, but it went well after that, and it took just 29.2 seconds for a layup.

The third Wade came out and lost the ball while dribbling, and he didn't score 5 shots, and he also had trouble with the second pass, which took the most time, taking 53.9 seconds and missing the final.

To liven up the atmosphere, Hayes was the last player to play.

Hayes didn't have much idea after watching Paul and Delon's performances. Both guys are too fast, and it's hard for him to get to the final. It's not a shame to lose compared with defenders. Hayes waved to the crowd, and the fans immediately burst into applause. No one thinks Hayes will make it to the final, but people like to support the underdogs.

However, Hayes immediately surprised people, Hayes didn't care about winning or losing, so he was very open when doing the moves. All of his moves in the preliminaries were done in one go. With no mistakes, he was 0.1 seconds faster than DeLong and advanced to the final with a time of 31.1 seconds.

Yu Jia said: "Hayes did it without making a single mistake. They also made it to the finals. ”

Zhang Reasonable said: "This is because Hayes has a good mentality, and the other three are too fast and unstable. Hayes' pacing is more reasonable. ”

The first person to come out in the final was Chris Paul, who was a little under pressure, but didn't think he was going to lose to Hayes, who finished the move once and took more than 30 seconds, and if there was a single error, it was over.

At this point, Delon stepped up and said, "Chris, if our three defenders participate in the Skills Challenge and end up with Hayes winning the championship, it will be a failure. You've got to win! ”

Paul thought to himself: I really can't fail, it's an honor to defend a defender.

Wade also smiled: "Chris, this is your home field, you can't be embarrassed in front of your hometown fathers." ”

Paul thought to himself: If I lose to Hayes, how can I be worthy of the home fans who support me? I, Paul, have no shame to see Jiangdong's father! (Where did you come from?) Finally, Hayes said, "Come on! Chris. Don't make mistakes, because I can't make mistakes, and I didn't do anything else in Los Angeles in the summer except practice this. ”

Practiced this thing in Los Angeles for two months? How can it be? Are you here to compete in the All-Star Skills Challenge? Paul's faith began to waver, although he speculated that Hayes might have been speaking big. (This is also guessed?) It's just nonsense. Amid the shouts and cheers of the audience, Paul began. He first took the ball to the basket and hit it easily, and the dribbling was also smooth, and when he passed the ball, Paul made two mistakes; Then the arc top shot, the arc top shot is not a three-point shot, but the distance is not too much, Paul's long-range shooting is not a strong point, and now he is under a lot of pressure, he is inaccurate again, and it took three times to shoot the ball in; Paul made another mistake on his pass in the third position; In order to speed up, he used a throw in the final layup, which was missed again and added time. It took 48.2 seconds.

"It's broken. Paul was out of tune today. Three guards and a big forward play, the pressure was too much. Last season I remember he also threw three times at the top of the arc. But Bryant missed consecutive passes before Paul won. It's hard for him to beat Hayes with this result. Zhang said reasonably.

Yu Jia smiled: "Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back." Hayes smiled as if he couldn't get up from his seat, he laughed normally, looking at Paul's results, unless Leifeng Pagoda fell and West Lake dried up, he would definitely win the championship. ”

In Los Angeles, Hayes' passing practice was much more difficult than the Skills Challenge. Because they practice coordination at the same time, they are all trick passes, and they pass the ball into the passing basket in various ways. Now that Paul's results are so bad, Hayes is out of pressure and ready to put on a good show.

He scored the first goal with a one-handed backhand. Then dribble the ball to the front court and send the ball into the basket with a back pass. Then he took the ball quite arrogantly and turned around and hit the ground with his crotch, which was also a success.

"It's so unreasonable. It's all done at once! Hayes seems to have the true legend of the magician. Zhang Li shouted.

Many spectators in the stadium stood up and cheered, and now they all hope that Hayes can complete the tricks in one go. See how fast this interior player, who is averaging 12 rebounds per game, can go.

Hayes' shot from the middle was also an easy shot, and then a one-handed through pass was completed, and after dribbling the ball around the obstacle, Hayes dunked the ball with one hand. This time it was much shorter, in just 29.7 seconds.

Hayes wasn't fast, but he made zero mistakes and played tricks that made a crowd of people drop their jaws, and the title was well deserved.

Ye Li, who was sitting with Gao Tongxuan, also stood up and applauded. sighed: "It's so handsome, when will our Yao Ming be able to do this once." ”

If Yao Ming were to participate in the Skills Challenge, it would definitely be more exciting than that.

When the host interviewed Hayes, the first thing he asked was, "Chuck, have you ever thought about playing point guard?" ”

"I'm a point forward, and if the team needs me to play point guard, I'll do that." Hayes laughed.

Hayes was in the limelight again. The Skills Challenge wasn't as attractive as the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, but Hayes' win brought the atmosphere to a small level.

After that, it's the three-point shootout.

Kobe Bryant exited with a finger injury and Nowitzki came in for him. The six players in the field are: Richard Hamilton (Detroit Pistons), defending champion Jason Capono (Toronto Raptors), Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns), Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks), Peja Stojakovic (New Orleans Hornets) and Daniel Gibson (Cleveland Cavaliers), who hit six three-pointers in the Rookie Series.

There is no suspense in this three-point contest. Capono scored 20 points in the preliminaries, and 25 points in the final were easier to win. Gibson, who ranked second, hit 17 points on both occasions.

Finally, the highlight of the day is the slam dunk contest.

Competing in the slam dunk contest are defending champion Gerald Green, Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzlies, Shannon Brown, a former Cavaliers player who is now on the move to the Bulls, and Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, who played in the 2007 slam dunk contest.

Hayes remembers that it was Jamario Moon who participated in the slam dunk contest in his previous life. But Moon only got very little playing time per game with the Bobcats and didn't get much attention, so the league invited Shannon Brown, who had a lot of great dunk performances with the Cavaliers.

Unlike previous years, the rules of this year's slam dunk contest have changed. The game is still played over two rounds with two dunks each. The two players with the highest total score in the first round enter the finals, in which each player has to complete two dunk actions, and the champion is decided by netizens through online voting.

Shannon Brown's bounce was outstanding, he threw the ball himself in the first dunk, and scored 50 points on the "360-degree Lady of Liberty" dunk, but unfortunately the second dunk lacked creativity, and the dunk that changed hands in the air only scored 42 points and was eliminated in the preliminaries.

"Warcraft" Dwight Howard conquered the audience with a hilarious Superman dunk, defeating defending champion Green and becoming the biggest dunk king in NBA history.
