Chapter 120: Three Miracles!
Durant smiled and turned to leave, the grudge between the two people in the past in the smile was completely gone, and it was this rookie challenge that made Durant and Lin Fei friends off the court, but the two of them are still mortal enemies on the court.
The pre-year rhetoric almost became a reality, but it was still one step short, Lin Fei's key block successfully kept the victory of the second grade, and the second day of the All-Star Weekend undoubtedly gave countless fans a good impression, and Lin Fei's busyness has not stopped.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the 25th, Lin Fei came to the Phoenix American Airlines Center to prepare to participate in the skills challenge, Lin Fei, Devin Harris, Tony Parker, and Derrick Rose formed the lineup this time, Lin Fei took a closer look at the rules of the game and then sat quietly on the chair and waited for the game, for this test of the organization of the defender Lin Fei did not care, he just came to play soy sauce.
At the beginning of the first round of the game, Devin Harris was the first to play, and the first to play was Devin Harris who passed the obstacle dribble smoothly and then did a terrible job on the through ball, and the fourth pass was successfully completed, and then the ground pass was completed once and then the shot at the top of the free throw line was also completed, and then the through ball again did not continue the tragedy but was done once, and finally Harris, who passed the barrier, ended the game with a dunk, when the referee blew the whistle in his mouth, Harris had a total time of 36.9 seconds, which is not so great for a trick competition, and Harris himself was not very satisfied, shook his head and walked to the sidelines.
The second to play was the champion Lang Derrick Rose, who completed very well and only used three times on the ground pass, and the rest were all passed once, and it took only 33.3 seconds to complete the game in the end, and his outstanding performance also won him a round of applause from the fans at the American Airlines Center, and the corner of Rose's eyes who walked off the court glanced at Lin Fei who was sitting on the field, Lin Fei looked calm and relaxed and didn't care about the game at all.
The third French sports car, Tony Parker, made his first appearance on the stage since the first edition of the Skills Challenge, and his fiancée, Eva, sat on the sidelines watching the game, but Parker failed to let his fiancée see the good side, and he had big trouble with both the passing and shooting, and finally Parker set the slowest record of 50.8 seconds in this competition, and Eva showed a slightly embarrassed smile under the camera.
The fastest of the first three appearances was the champion Lang Ross, who also took 33.3 seconds, and Lin Fei only needs to be faster than Harris's 36.9 seconds to enter the finals and compete for the championship with Rose, but Lin Fei is not a point guard or a player who is good at passing, in this case, most people are not optimistic about Lin Fei.
"Let's have a fourth player, a ...... from the Los Angeles Clippers Forest...... Lin Fei ......" DJ shouted at the scene, and the American Airlines Center resounded with warm applause, and in the DJ's shout, Lin Fei stood up and gave a simple thank you to the fans around him before stepping onto the court.
Lin Fei stood on the left bottom line, the basketball was put aside, and the referee looked at the second "ready to ......"
Honk!
With a whistle, Lin Fei grabbed the basketball next to him with both hands that had already been prepared, and immediately transported it to the basket, a simple layup landed, Lin Fei immediately went to the next point, picked up the ball on the shelf, and faced the five human-shaped cardboards, the speed did not completely add up, after all, at this time, stability is the most important thing.
After the fifth cardboard, the next direct pass came to Lin Fei, the first three people had a lot of problems in the direct pass, Lin Fei stopped, grabbed the ball in the basket next to him, aimed at some ball bags, and pushed the ball over with both hands.
Bang!
The first ball bounced directly on the outer edge of the bag, Lin Fei had to pick up another ball, but still didn't score, at this time Lin Fei calmed down and took a deep breath, his eyes stared at the basket, his mind quickly flashed the two passes and then passed, this time the basketball did not disappoint him and accurately drilled into the bag.
Completed the first direct pass and came to the next link to hit the ground pass, this time Lin Fei did not waste time once the surname sent the ball into the ball bag, after sending it in, Lin Fei immediately ran to the top of the free throw line arc, this is a long-distance two-point shot, pick up the basketball and aim at the basket, such a shot is not a problem for Lin Fei, after jumping out of the hand, Lin Fei ran to the next link, it was still a direct pass, and the basketball did not disappoint him and accurately fell into the basket, In the face of another through ball, Lin Fei did not make a mistake, passed the ball into the bag once, and then passed the five-person cardboard again, and then Lin Fei ended his skills challenge preliminaries with a one-handed windmill.
30.4 seconds, this is Lin Fei's preliminaries results, successfully entered the finals of the Skills Challenge, and then in the final of the Skills Challenge, Rose took the lead, and Rose, who was infinitely eager to beat Lin Fei, played at a poor level or even as good as the preliminaries, and finally only got 37.8 seconds, although he knew that his results were very poor, but when he heard his results, Rose couldn't help but sigh.
In the face of Rose's 37.8 seconds, Lin Fei did not have the slightest reservation, when the referee blew a whistle, Lin Fei jumped out like a cheetah, successfully picked up the basket and passed the humanoid cardboard in one go, and then passed the ball through the same surname once, came to the top of the free throw line arc to take the ball and shoot, without looking at it, went to the next straight pass, and then faced the five human-shaped cardboard again, Lin Fei still maintained a fairly fast speed, and then slapped a gliding dunk with both hands.
When the referee blew the whistle, Lin Fei's final score stayed at 20.4 seconds, improving the 25.5 seconds created by Delong Williams by 5.1 seconds, and when Lin Fei lifted the trophy, the scene once again sent warm applause.
"Lin, this is the second honor you won in the second competition, did you really do what you said before the game?" Cheryl Miller stood in front of Lin Fei with the microphone, and interviewing the victor was her basic task.
"Well, actually, I didn't mean that, but if I said no, you would still say yes, so I might as well say yes!" Lin Fei looked at Cheryl Miller and said helplessly.
"You know, I'll only hear the best words from you!" Cheryl looked at the helpless Lin Fei and said with a smile, "The next one is the three-point competition, this is your strength, I think you must be bound to win this championship, right?" ”
"Of course!" Although Lin Fei's answer was concise, it showed his super confidence.
Lin Fei still remembers last year's three-point contest, when he staged a reversal in the final to create a new record in the three-point contest and won the three-point contest championship with 29 points.
This year, Lin Fei will be the last to play in the qualifiers, although this is not arrangeable, but it is considered by the majority of fans to be a symbol of status in the three-point world, and in their eyes, the last appearance indicates the finale.
The first to play in the three-point contest was Mr. 20 million, Rashad Lewis, and he was also selected to the Eastern All-Star team this year, this is not the first time he has participated in the three-point contest, but his results have never been very ideal, and he did not perform well in the first four ordinary balls at the first point, and the first four ordinary balls were all ironed and waited until the last color ball to hit, but Lewis gradually adjusted his shot, and when he came to the third store, he made all five shots, and finally Lewis scored 17 points, a not good but not too ugly result.
In the applause, the white-haired devil Mike Bibby stood on the left foot outside the three-point line and prepared, although the first three points performed very well, especially at the top of the front arc, five shots, but the last two points Bibby was like someone suddenly stole the feel, the sound of iron was endless, and finally only got a pitiful 14 points, basically announced out.
The third to play is Cook, although Cook is only a role player in the Heat, but in the new season, the three-point shooting rate is as high as 57.8%, ranking first in the league, of course, in the eyes of Lin Fei's fans, Cook's high three-point shooting rate and Lin Fei are not comparable, as the highest shooting rate of Cook, who was selected for this game, did not make his boss Wade too satisfied, and the final score of 18 points temporarily ranked first.
Danny Granger, who was ranked fourth on the court, was also selected for this year's Eastern Conference star team, and in the NBA game, Granger's shooting was an inexplicable existence, but in today's game, he failed to bring the game's insolence, and the lucky color ball that hit the first point seemed to use all his luck, and he didn't shoot a ball at 45 degrees on the right side, and in the end Granger only scored 13 points, ranking last in the first four players.
The fifth appearance is last year's defeat to Lin Fei the champion of the three-point contest Cappano, last year's defeat made him come with a belief in revenge, the first point Cappono got four points, but the second point Cappano's performance can only be described as bad as hitting only an ordinary ball, fortunately, the third point hit all the fourth point also hit the first four, but the last point Cappono felt nothing again, and finally with the belief of revenge Cappono only got 16 points, and was listed in third place before Lin Fei playedIn the eyes of everyone, Lin Fei's biggest enemy in the three-point contest has been announced.
In the shouts of DJ at the scene, the fans of the Aviation Center echoed with passionate shouts, just like in Staples, Lin Fei easily stepped on the court, he was not worried about entering the finals at all, not arrogant but confident enough, and the audience is looking forward to Lin Fei, who set a record last year, to go further this year.
"Rashad, I think Lin is your biggest obstacle, but Lin's shooting is really stable and scary." Howard and Lewis beside him said.
"Yes, but maybe there will be an accident, I'll do my best to compare, as for the result can only wait." After Lewis finished speaking, he moved his gaze to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei stood outside the three-point line in the bottom corner of the left side, with five balls next to him, exactly the same as last year, except that the arena changed from New Orleans to Phoenix, and the spotlight hit Lin Fei's body, and Lin Fei's relaxed expression immediately appeared on the big screen.
When the whistle sounded at the beginning of the game, all the distracting thoughts in Lin Fei's mind disappeared, only the basketball and the basket in his field of vision, only the shot, the ball and the jump, all the movements were like his own habits, very natural, when the basketball rose to the air, Lin Fei had already picked up the second ball and jumped out as he had just now.
Swish!
Soon after the first ball got into the basket, the second ball followed the first ball into the basket, and one after another, three points rained above the basket, and all five balls at the first point had been shot.
Lewis pouted helplessly, generally the first point is the point of adjusting the state, and Lin Fei's first point hit all the strong strength that made Lewis helpless.
After throwing the first point and the fifth ball, Lin Fei immediately ran to the next point, and the three-point point of forty-five degrees on the left side was the second most three-point point thrown by Lin Fei in the regular season, and Lin Fei had more confidence in this point.
The right hand quickly grabbed the basketball on the rack, and the whole person paused slightly in the air with his right foot to throw the ball, the action was still the same at all, and it was still so standard and elegant, and the landing shot repeated the same action.
The rest of the players who participated in the three-point shot grew their mouths one by one, and the crisp sound of wiping the net kept impacting their auditory nerves, and the rippling net flowers kept impacting his visual nerves, with the last flower ball of the second point hitting Lin Fei's first two points without conceding a ball, the first two points had already scored twelve points, such an excellent state made the fans shout wonderful.
The third point is the top of the arc, which is a relatively easy point for most people to score, but in the game, Lin Fei's shots at this point are not much, because the players on the left and right sides of the shot at this point and the players in the free throw line can interfere with this point, so Lin Fei rarely chooses to shoot at the top of the arc, but in ordinary training, Lin Fei will not give up the training of this point because of this, and Lewis on the field even looked at Lin Fei with appreciation.
"Huh" the basketball accurately drilled into the basket, and the fans who still had the idea of not scoring for Lin Fei's three points off the court were disappointed again.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
At the third point, Lin Fei continued his journey to the middle school, and at this time, Lin Fei had successfully advanced to the finals with a score of 18 points, and when Lin Fei came to the fourth point, people were surprised to find that Lin Fei began to be funny.
With his left hand in his waist and stomach in his right hand, he raised the ball above his head with his right hand and pushed the ball out with one hand. Swish!
God also favored Lin Fei, and the basketball fell into the basket after it bounced high inside the basket, and the scene was full of laughter.
Then Lin Fei used the left-handed one-handed shooting and the women's two-handed chest shooting, and finally at the end of the preliminaries, Lin Fei scored 24 points and successfully entered the finals with the first result, and the remaining two finals were Lewis and Cook.
After a one-minute break, Lewis, who had the worst result of the three, took the lead, and the relaxed Lewis had a different effect.
"This is Rassad's eighth goal in a row, and he now feels good enough to fight with Lin Fei." The on-site commentator said excitedly, and Lin Fei also looked at Lewis who was shooting on the court with interest.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Clang!
The consecutive goals stayed above eleven, but Lewis did not lose his hand because of the end of the consecutive hits, but continued to fight more and more bravely, and finally Lewis, who was the first to play in the preliminaries, scored 25 points.
"Rassad, you've done a great job, you've put pressure on that guy Lin!" Warcraft Howard said excitedly, and proudly threw a demonstrative look at Lin Fei, Lin Fei looked at Howard's childlike smile and smiled.
Cook, who played second in the final, did not do well in front of Lewis's 25 points, only scored a color ball in the first point, and then the next four points have been adjusted, and when the whistle blew, Cook even had a ball in the basketball that he didn't have time to throw, as his boss Wade stomped his foot in annoyance and looked a little ugly, because Cook only scored a pitiful 11 points, which obviously made his boss feel dull.
"Poor Cook, compared with Rassad, his score is really a little embarrassed, now it is the most critical moment, almost the eyes of the world are on Lin, last year in New Orleans he made history and scored 29 points to complete the myth of the whole game, in the preliminaries just now Lin showed everyone his hot form, and now facing Rassad's 25 points, I don't know if Lin can face it easily." As the commentator said Lin Fei stood on the court again, the fans at the American Airlines Center chanted Lin, which made Lewis a little surprised, he also came to participate in the All-Star away game, but Lin Fei was treated significantly higher than him.
The on-site director aimed the camera at Lin Fei's face, his face was still calm and calm, and the corners of his mouth were faint smiles.
Many girl fans couldn't help but shout out handsome!
Lin Fei looked at the referee beside him and said softly, "I'm ready!" ”
Lewis's calm heart in the first round was stirred again at this moment, he had already given up the championship but 25 points was really an excellent score, which made his heart rekindle the hope of winning the championship, although Lin Fei showed a hot form in the preliminaries.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the timer moved quickly, Lin Fei moved his right foot to his side and grabbed the ball with his right hand, jumped out of his hand, this time Lin Fei did not rush to shoot the second ball, but waited for the first ball to enter the frame before throwing the second ball in his hand.
The second ball still did not disappoint Lin Fei, and when the crisp sound of wiping the net came, Lin Fei had already thrown the fourth ball.
Swish!
Swish!
The sound of continuous goals echoed in the American Airlines Center, Lin Fei once again completed the first point, Lewis felt his palms began to sweat a little, his eyes followed Lin Fei tightly, watching Lin Fei take the ball again and take the shot again.
“lin!lin!lin!” I don't know who was the first to shout, and soon it converged into a huge cheering sound from small to large, with Lin Fei's every goal "lin!" The call hit a decibel level.
In the shouts of the audience, Lin Fei threw the ball one after another, and when the third point was thrown, Lin Fei's continuous scoring continued.
"Lin, fifteen, fifteen in a row, Rashad off the field has already felt the huge pressure, will Lin create a miracle, let's look forward to making us wait!" The live commentary is full of passion.
"Sixteenth!"
"Seventeenth!" Some fans spontaneously counted for Lin Fei, and as the ball became less and less, Lin Fei got closer and closer to the seemingly unattainable all-win record.
When Lin Fei finished throwing the last color ball of the 45-degree three-point point on the right side, Lewis felt that the champion of the three-point contest was completely away from him, although Lin Fei only scored 24 points, but his heart had completely given up hope.
"The last point, the last point, can we see it?" With the shouts of the commentator, the first three points of the fifth point drilled into the basket, and the 25 points also tied Lewis's score, even if Lin Fei did not score the next one, he could enter overtime.
The fans slowly stood up, expecting the miracle of Quanzhong.
And the party Lin Fei still jumped out with the ball as if no one was around, calm as water, and was not disturbed at all.
Swish!
Swish!
When Lin Fei threw the last ordinary ball, Lin Fei scored 28 points, and there was only one colored ball left, and if it could be thrown, Lin Fei would create a miracle in the whole game.
The American Airlines Center suddenly fell silent, all waiting!
Lin Fei looked at the basket in the distance, it was as wide as the sea!
Take the ball and jump in one go, and the basketball arcs perfectly over the American Airlines Center!
Everyone held their breath and watched the basketball flying in the air.
The basketball that carries the eyes of countless people flies over the American Airlines Center! Lin Fei's right hand in the spotlight slowly clenched into a fist and withdrew to his chest, the corners of his mouth filled with a smile.
"Come in!"
Lin Fei called softly!
Basketball gave people a crisp sound!!
Raising his arms high and smiling, Lin Fei stood on the bottom corner of the left side of the three-point line under the light, and the eyes of tens of millions of people automatically converged on him, at this moment he was the king, he did what he said.
"Lin, he set a new record, the myth of 30 points in the whole game, Lin Fei did it, he broke the record he held, he once again proved his domination in the three points! Although Rashad performed well, he can only regret in the face of such a Lin! Lin, Lin, more than 20,000 fans at the scene witnessed together! ”
The narrator's shouts spread all over the United States through the microphone, and Lin Fei stood in the middle circle with his hands raised to accept everyone's worship.
Last year's 29 points was a miracle, and this year's 30 points are even more a miracle, just like Larry Bird's self-confidence became a legend, Lin Fei's pre-game rhetoric also became a legend.
After shaking hands with a smiling David Stern, Lin Fei took over the three-point contest trophy, which was his second three-point contest trophy but was equally significant, and this championship was his third trophy in the Phoenix All-Star Game.
An hour later, Lin Fei will also participate in his fourth game shooting star and fifth game h-o-r-s-e shooting, and he is only halfway through his busy journey.
