Chapter 073: An Accident in the Three-Point Match
At the beginning of the game, the first to appear in the preliminaries was Magic's Mr. Lewis, who had a six-year contract of $118 million, although it was a little cheating, it was undeniable that Lewis still had a lot of strength.
Before getting this big contract, he was selected to the All-Star team once, and in the last three seasons of the SuperSonics, he also reached 20+ points for three consecutive years, perhaps these statistics confused the management of the Magic, but anyway, the contract was signed, and the Magic could only admit it.
Mr. Yi's performance today was average, he only hit one ball in the first point, and it was only at the third point that Lewis got better, and the ball was all shot in the third point, after which Lewis maintained a good form, and finally scored 17 points.
The second to come on the court was Bibby, who hit three shots in the first point but missed the ball, and Bibby also hit a cricket kick in the second point, and he also shot five of five from the front point, and the last two points were not very good, and the final score was 14 points.
The third player was Cook, who scored a 3-pointer in the first point, another shot in the second and a good play in the third, also hitting the ball. However, the fourth point Cook didn't shoot well, but he still hit the color ball, and Cook ended up scoring 18 points.
The fourth to take the court was Danny Granger of the Pacers. He was very lucky to hit the ball in the first spot, only hit two in the second point, and hit the first four in the front three-point point, but the ball didn't go in, and the ball didn't score a goal at the right 45-degree angle, and in the end Granger only scored 13 points, and it was no fun to make it to the finals with this kind of score.
The defending champion Capono was ranked fifth, and he should have been ranked last according to convention, but because of Li Chen's participation in this three-point contest, the three-point strength of the Big Apple is known to everyone, so Capono was sadly played early.
Perhaps it was because of this exception that the defending champion's mentality was problematic, with only one color ball on 10-of-25 shooting, and the 11-point score was even more tragic than Granger's, and the defending champion was disgraced, and the 11-point score was no longer possible to enter the final, and there was no hope of defending the title.
Under the watchful eye, Li Chen appeared, and the audience's long-accumulated enthusiasm was finally released at this moment, all of them hoped that the Big Apple could create a miracle, and they were convinced of the strength of their idols.
Take the ball, take a deep breath, and shoot, Li Chen's shooting action has nothing to find fault with, the only deficiency is that the ball did not score!
Forehead! What's going on? The audience was depressed, the big apple's three-point shooting was not very accurate, thinking about the 23-of-23 shooting that was a smash hit on Youtobe that year, and then thinking of the big Apple's league-leading three-point shooting percentage so far, as well as the 12 three-pointers in the rookie game, people were surprised by the result that the big apple missed the first shot.
Li Chen himself was also very surprised, he knew his own actions, obviously the feeling when he shot was no different from usual, why did he bounce out of the basket in the end, in order to verify his judgment, he took the ball again.
The same position, but the result was the same, and the basketball bounced out of the basket again.
"Day"! Li Chen was depressed, what the hell is going on! The audience is also depressed, is there something wrong with the Big Apple today? Kobe Bryant was also depressed, he came over to cheer for his little brother before the game, but the other party's performance really surprised him.
If anyone knows the Big Apple's three-point strength best, Kobe Bryant may be the best candidate for it, and the boss usually asks the other party for a little shooting skills when he teaches Li Chen offensive skills.
It's just that Li Chen's skills come with the system, how do he know what tricks, the only thing he can do is to throw the ball in front of the boss again and again, because of this, Kobe Bryant will undoubtedly be the person who knows Li Chen's three-point strength the most.
Bang! The third ball was missed again, Li Chen was a little anxious, he didn't know what was going on, no matter how attentive he was, but the ball just bounced out of the basket very uncooperatively.
The fourth goal was even more outrageous, and a flashy air balloon even booed some spectators who came to see the Big Apple set a three-point contest record, but the current situation doesn't look like a record is about to be made.
"Is he going to miss all 25 shots? If so, then that's a record. Some spectators who were bored by the game thought maliciously.
And the situation that the big apple also missed the next color ball made these people firm their minds, and they vowed to carry out the bad taste to the end, and the boos became more and more spectacular, and Li Chen seemed to be in a predicament.
The five-goal concede made him decide to pause and adjust his emotions, knowing that if he couldn't slow down his mentality, the next ball would probably have the same consequences. With his head down, trying to keep himself as unaffected as the outside atmosphere as he could, he was doing his best to pace his breathing.
Feeling that his adjustment did not have much effect, Li Chen, who was a little anxious, subconsciously glanced at the place where the two girls were, the situation in his field of vision made him a little distracted, and the way the two girls prayed made him feel as if he had returned to the night a few months ago, the night when he and Amy confessed to each other.
"Amy, she should be watching my game in front of the TV, too!"
You can say that Li Chen is unkind, and the scene of the two girls praying reverently makes him think of another girl, but it is undeniable that this is what he really thinks, there are many things that are not clear in his feelings, he can like these two girls as much as he likes Amy, but when he really wants to find a support for himself, Amy will be the final choice.
"I can't let her down, just like that time," Li Chen subconsciously told himself, "I never let her down!" ”
Julie's gesture made Li Chen suddenly slow down, it was still game time, 60 seconds of time could not be wasted on his luxury, Li Chen made a reassuring gesture to the two girls, and in an instant, his feeling seemed to come back suddenly.
The camera captured Big Apple's face, as if he felt the camera's scanning, Li Chen smiled at the camera very naturally, he wanted to reassure Amy in front of the TV that he would not let her down!
The camera captured the moment, and the smile on the big screen made many Big Apple fans feel as if the situation was about to change, and in their opinion, the smile of the Big Apple is the best example.
Of course, there are those who like it and those who hate it, and the people who released the boos before were angry, why can't they shoot and are still so arrogant! Is a smile enough to solve the problem? If that's the case, then the NBA should probably change its name to the Comedy Star League, to which they booed the Big Apple even stronger.
The reaction of the audience at the scene did not have a slight impact on Li Chen, he felt that he had adjusted, he took the ball and shot as before, with only 40 seconds left, the previous shot took more than 7 seconds, and the later adjustment took more than 10 seconds.
Obviously, it is useless to shoot all the remaining balls, because in addition to the shooting time, the time to switch positions halfway must also be included, Li Chen's current situation is relatively difficult, and he must ensure his success rate.
Swish! Finally, the short adjustment did not disappoint, and Li Chen finally scored the first goal of the day. The fans of the Big Apple were excited, and that's it, they shouted loudly, and although it was a little difficult to reach the finals with the current situation of the idol, there was still hope for them.
Swish! Scoring again, it feels completely back, and Li Chen is full of confidence.
Since the shooting feeling, then the goal after that is naturally not difficult, Li Chen smoothly transformed into a shooting machine, obviously, this machine has now been fully debugged.
In the cheers of the audience, the big apple staged a good show of death and then life, after losing all five balls in the first point, Li Chen hit all 15 balls in the next three points, the last point was not finished because of time, but also scored 2, with a total score of 20 points, Li Chen successfully entered the final with the first place in the preliminaries.
Oh! The fans of the Big Apple raised their hands and shouted, sure enough, the idol's three-point shooting ability is undoubted, they only hope that Li Chen can maintain this state in the finals, if it is really as imagined, then the first thirty points in the history of the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest are likely to be born!
Successfully entered the finals, and the process was still so tortuous, Li Chen's mood was surprisingly good, and he kissed the two girls one by one, and he said very flutteringly.
"My dear, you are indeed my goddess of luck, if it weren't for your prayers that touched God, I think today might have been a tragedy!"
Although it is clear that this is a rhetoric, but love will always make people ignore a lot of things, Julie hugged Li Chen tightly, Li Chen's play just now made her very worried, but fortunately, after the peak, she turned around, leaning on her boyfriend's arms made her feel very relieved.
Lindsay is obviously much more mature than Julie, and for Li Chen's praise, the royal sister was very disdainful, "My intuition tells me that your smile just now is not ordinary!" ”
Well, Li Chen, who was caught with pigtails, was not calm, he hurriedly tried to change the topic, "Of course, I finally smiled naturally after relaxing, by the way, the finals are about to start, do you have anything to say?" ”
Julie and Lindsay glanced at each other, and the two nodded, as if they had already made a decision, "Considering your inconsistent performance, we have decided to put some pressure on you, if you can't win the championship, then we will ban you from doing that for a month!" ”
This punishment is obviously a bit serious for a young man like Li Chen, but he is not an ordinary person, someone thought with disdain, "Hmph, you are forbidden, and you are not the only two women in the world, as long as my brother and I hook my fingers, there must be too many beauties who are willing to come over to fill my empty heart!" ”
Lindsey knew Li Chen's thoughts very well, "If you want to say that you can still find someone else, then Julie and I will choose to leave you without hesitation, you are a responsible man, I hope you will not let us down!" I hate the feeling of betrayal because I love you, so it seems even more unacceptable to me! ”
Seeing the girl's face, Li Chen hurriedly comforted, "How could it be!" Lindsay, don't worry, as you said, I'm a man, and I love you, I won't let you down, of course, Julie, you too, know that I was a virgin before you! Li Chen suddenly thought of the joke he had made, and he knew that Julie would remember it too.
Sure enough, the girl said with a disdainful face, "Please, Cruze, although I love you, it doesn't mean that I have to take your virginity, you should give it to Amy, I believe that stupid girl will be moved by this!" But if she believes that Lindsey and I have a pure relationship with you, do you think that's possible? ”
In the midst of the frolic, the final of the three-point contest soon began. Lewis had the lowest result in the heats, so he was the first to play in the final. Mr. Yuan only scored two points in the first two points, and Lewis shot four in the third point, but the overall score was still not ideal, only 6 points, Lewis scored 10 points after the first four points, and the last point was not bad, and he finally scored 15 points.
The second player was Cook, he only shot one ball in the first point, and he didn't shoot well in the second point, and Cook found a little touch in the third point, but he fell into a slump again in the fourth point, and in the last point Cook played well, hitting four of the five balls, and in the end Cook also scored 15 points, the same as Lewis's score!
The audience didn't care about the performance of the two players in front of them, the only thing they wanted to see was what kind of play the Big Apple would have, and could he really get his first 30 points ever?
Quite a lot of people are willing to believe this result, after all, Li Chen has proven his feel in the preliminaries, as long as he continues to maintain it, there is absolutely no problem with those thirty points. It's just that there have been too many exceptions in the league, and all people can do is send their idols their most sincere wishes.
The cheers at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, people were looking forward to Li Chen's appearance, and it can also be said that they were looking forward to the birth of a new record!
Target! Thirty points!
(Target 3000 collection, go!) go! go! Now 1800,3000 is still a bit far away...... I bought a book, "Tazaki Saku without color and his year of parade", I haven't read the content yet, but the cover is pretty beautiful! )
