Chapter 279: Skill Challenge
Ye Hai hurriedly ran to the vicinity of the passage where the audience left the stadium, but he didn't see anyone who was suspected of being Kim Naxian, but many of Ye Hai's fans immediately surrounded him and asked Ye Hai for an autograph. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After greeting the enthusiastic fans one by one and meeting their requirements, Ye Hai finally got out and returned to the side of the court, Danielle was sitting on the sidelines with the MVP trophy that Ye Hai had just won, looked up at Ye Hai, stuffed the trophy back into Ye Hai's arms, and said, "I know who you are chasing." ā
After speaking, Danielle left without looking back, Ye Hai didn't chase, looked down at the MVP trophy in his hand, the trophy made of crystal flashed crystal in the light...
The second day of the All-Star Game is full of activities, including the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest, and the most exciting slam dunk contest to determine the winner today!
There are still Chinese players among the participants in the Skills Challenge: Che Yicheng!
With Anthony's encouragement and support, Cha Yicheng signed up for this event, which requires very high basic skills.
The list of players participating in the Skills Challenge is as follows:
Cha Yicheng (New York Knicks),
Chris Paul (Boston Celtics),
John Wall (Washington Wizards),
Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder),
Chris Dunn (Minnesota Timberwolves),
Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets).
In this list, there are exactly three rookies and three veterans, but none of these three veterans have won the Skills Challenge. Paul is already participating in the fifth time, and it is hard to imagine that Paul, who has dominated the league's best point guard for a long time, has participated in this competition four times, but only once reached the final two-person finals, and lost to his old rival Deron Williams, and was also broken by the opponent The fastest time record in this event!
In this competition, Paul promised that this is the last time he will participate in this event, and his goal is naturally to win the competition!
The most noteworthy of the rookie players is Jamal Murray, a triple-double machine in college who was hailed as one of the top three rookie point guards in the last year, and his all-around performance was the runner-up in the final of the last Skill Challenge, and he is naturally aiming to win the championship!
The Skills Challenge is divided into two rounds, with the two best players in the first round advancing to the semi-finals, where the fastest player wins the championship! Players will dribble, pass, shoot and make layups!
The first player to take the court was Chris Dunn, who was generally more consistent, but because there was no reference time, it was not easy for him to achieve very good results, and Dunn completed all the movements in 33.8 seconds, a record that has been on the verge of the final for many years.
The second to take the field is Chris Paul, who has already participated in the tournament four times, and the process is already a breeze. Paul, who was aiming to win the championship, moved in one go, 27.1 seconds, a very good result enough to win the championship!
John Wall made his third appearance, and Wall, who has not been on good terms with the team's personnel this season, made a mistake on the first pass, and then made three three-point shots before hitting it, only 40.2 seconds, and has been eliminated!
Jamal Murray, who appeared in the fourth game, seemed to be influenced by Wall, plus he was aiming to win the championship in the last runner-up, and the psychological pressure was a little great, and he made consecutive mistakes in the passing link, and when it came to the three-point shot, he also used 2 hits, only 37.3 seconds and did not enter the finals!
After Durant left, Westbrook held up the banner of the Thunder alone, and it was common to get a triple-double, and he was full of confidence in his fifth appearance, and all the actions were also completed at one time, taking 30.3 seconds to eliminate Chris Dunn, who was the first to play!
Chinese player Che Yicheng was the last to play, and with Paul and Westbrook both achieving very good results, the player, who was known as the No. 1 high school student in the country before Ye Hai, showed a strong psychological quality, completely turned the pressure into motivation, and in the cheers of the audience, he ended all the prescribed actions very quickly and perfectly at one time, and the completed time was 27.6 seconds! Just 0.5 seconds behind Paul's preliminaries!
Westbrook also stood up and applauded the Chinese rookie when he saw how long it took for Che Yicheng to finish the race! In 27.1 seconds and 27.6 seconds, Westbrook lost in a convincing mouth!
It seems that the champion of this year's Skills Challenge will be produced between Chris Paul and Che Yicheng, as a teammate of the two players, Ye Hai's mood is both excited and conflicted, I don't know which one I want to win, but I feel in my heart that no matter which one wins, I will be happy for it, and similarly, no matter which one loses, I will also feel disappointed.
Just in Ye Hai's contradictory mood, the finals began!
Cha Yicheng, who finished second in the preliminaries, took the lead in the finals, and entered the finals for the first-year Chinese rookie, which has achieved the goal, without baggage, Cha Yicheng's performance was even better than in the preliminaries, not only all the actions were completed at one time, but also the actions were more flexible than in the preliminaries, and even the only little stiffness in the preliminaries disappeared! In this case, Cha Yicheng actually achieved a time of 25.5 seconds! Tied Deron Williams' best result at the 2008 Skills Challenge!
Cha Yicheng, who learned his race results, raised his hands excitedly, and his score of 25.5 seconds was almost locked in the championship! Dunn, Wall, Murray, and Westbrook, who were eliminated in the preliminaries, all stood up to applaud Cha's wonderful performance, and it was only at this moment that they were completely relieved that they did not make it to the final, because they themselves believed that the 25.5-second time was almost impossible to break!
At this moment, the Chinese fans who watched this skills challenge were already cheering, and they did not expect that after Ye Hai won the MVP of the rookie challenge on the first day, the second event - the highest honor of the skills challenge will also be awarded to the Chinese players!
When the spotlight of all the media was on Che Yicheng, Paul silently held the ball and stood at the starting point, his expression was unusually firm!
This is his fifth Skills Challenge, and no matter what the outcome is, Paul hopes he can finish it well!
When the bell rang, Paul set off quickly, twisting the dribbling obstacle like a snake, the speed was far faster than the previous time, in the pressure and desire, Paul completely inspired the fighting spirit and energy!
All the passes were made in one go, and when the first ball was passed, Paul didn't look at the result at all and ran directly to the second ball, and corresponding to this strong confidence, all the balls obediently flew into the designated net!
Paul came to the three-point line, threw the ball steadily, and after perceiving the confidence of the ball, he immediately ran to the free throw line to pick up the layup ball and rushed to the basket, when Paul just picked up the ball, the three-point shot just shot hollow through the net, at this moment everyone has been stunned to look at Paul, who has performed incredible, waiting for the birth of a miracle!
When Paul hit the ball with a quick layup, everyone in the room cheered for Paul! Ye Hai and Horford, who were sitting on the sidelines, rushed directly into the court and hugged Paul!
24.1 seconds! 24.1 seconds! 24.1 seconds!
Even if it really happened, there were still many fans who looked at this time with their mouths wide open in surprise, unbelievable!
Paul's incredible performance not only broke Deron Williams' best record of 25.5 seconds tied with Cha Yicheng, but also advanced the time by a full 1.4 seconds! This is almost the limit of a player's achievement!
Westbrook shook his head, muttering "unbelievable, unbelievable" while Dunn and Murray, two sophomores, watched the replay of Paul's game on the big screen with surprised expressions!
Paul finally won the Skill Challenge for the fifth time, and he did so by breaking the record of his arch-rival Deron Williams, which was enough to clear his shame of losing all four of his previous tournaments!
Paul was thrilled to hold the Skill Challenge title high, and suddenly he felt as if everything had gone smoothly since his move to Celtic.
"Something different is going to happen this year!" Paul seems to have had a premonition of something! (To be continued.) )
