Chapter 317: The First Champion!

At the moment when the basketball still flies into the basket, no matter how many stumbles there were before, the dust is all down in this instant.

There was still a second left, but Zhong Yu's results had already been decided.

23 points.

Surpassing the nineteen points of Granger, the top scorer before him.

In this way, Zhong Yu is already two people ahead, as long as one of the next few people does not score as high as Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu can enter the final safely.

The cheers on the sidelines of the stadium were even hotter, and although Jongwook seemed to have had a little accident at the last moment, he later adjusted.

Zhong Yu is Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu's jump shot, after all, it is Zhong Yu's jump shot.

Scarlett covered her mouth, and then waved desperately at the court, at this moment Zhong Yu had just turned around and was about to return to his seat, he saw Scarlett at a glance through the vast sea of people, and waved at her. So, the people next to Scarlett thought that Zhong Yu was waving to them, and they responded to Zhong Yu excitedly with their hands.

Only Scarlett knows what this means.

This sweet, tacit feeling between the two made Scarlett smile and sit back in her chair, her heart full of happiness.

Zhong Yu sat on the chair, feeling a little tired, such a shooting speed was too fast, and his hands were still a little sore after a minute. However, the result of 23 points is still acceptable, and the last point, for himself, the performance is really quite good.

Next to him, Heat youngster Cook will be in the fifth, and this guy looks a little nervous, and although he is smiling, the sharp rise and fall of his chest betrays his true mood at the moment.

After all, it was the first time for him to participate in such a grand event, and the nervousness in his heart could be imagined.

Wade is Zhong Yu's friend, and Wade is basically encouraging this little brother just now, so Zhong Yu also said casually: "Come on, young man, in fact, it's not difficult at all, just throw the basketball out, just like any training session you have." ”

Like other players, Zhong Yu personally comforted himself, and Cook was really a little excited: "Thank you, I will work hard." ”

Zhong Yu patted him on the shoulder.

The statistics of the preliminary round of the three-point contest are out, and the current top spot on the leaderboard is Chung Woo, who is at the top of the list with a score of 23 points. He was followed by Granger...... The guy who started shooting first and scored a score that even he wasn't happy with was now one of the top scorers of the bunch.

Third place went to Capono with 18 points, ahead of several others to reach the final. Capono's performance is indeed not normal, but he finally got 18 points, entered the final without danger, and he still has a great chance to enter the final.

This year's three-point shooting contest was a little dull at the beginning, because everyone didn't play very well, even Zhong Yu, who had the most high hopes, only scored 23 points. Of course, 23 points is also a very good score, but in this world, there is no shortage of people who are dissatisfied, and fans can't wait to be able to shoot every ball to the basket.

There are three finalists and each one of them is doing very well.

Seeing that the final was about to start, soon, there was already a cheer on the side of the court, waiting for the players to officially appear.

The first to start shooting was Capono, a veteran shooter who has completed a two-game winning streak and could potentially make it three in a row this season. For Capono to win a game like this today, he will be able to go down in the history of the NBA.

Of course, the others knew about Capono's thoughts, but they didn't have to let this guy get his wish. For example, Jongwook himself, although he knows that Capono wants to win the championship, he will still do everything possible to stop him, because this championship should belong to him.

Before, when the three-point contest hadn't started yet, Zhong Yu's plan was just not to be too embarrassed here, just shoot some shots. But now his mind has changed, since the other players are not in very good shape, then it is better to leave this kind of thing to himself.

Cappano came on the court to shoot, and it could be seen that this veteran player was also a little nervous, after all, this is related to his championship career, because he values it too much, and he is a little bit of a loser.

However, as soon as the whistle blew, Capono immediately got into the groove and became the bloodthirsty shooter.

He shot well on the first point, but on the other points, he was completely out of order, and in the first four points, he only hit a flower ball...... This is indeed a bit unscientific for the previous two-time defending champion Cappano.

In the end, he only scored 14 points, and with that score, he didn't expect the score to be so low, and walked off the court a little gloomily.

In today's championship, as long as Zhong Yu and Granger don't shoot like, he will lose......

Fourteen points, this score is really too little.

And other players who can participate in such a three-point contest, how can they be easy to match? Neither Jong Yu nor Granger are good characters.

Capono was followed by Granger, as he finished second out of three in the heats.

Just now Capono only scored 14 points, and there are good and bad aspects for Granger. First of all, Capono's low score is a good thing for him, because it puts a lot less pressure on him - he can't get 14 points anyway.

But on the other hand, he also felt more pressure, because Capono was playing so badly, maybe he would not be able to shoot as many balls as he did.

Granger played with such an attitude, no one doesn't want to win the championship, after all, they are all NBA players, and the sense of honor in their hearts is self-evident.

Granger started with a five-point jumper, and he still has some fans, although he probably doesn't have as many fans as Jongwook.

Amid the cheers on the side of the court, Granger began to jump, one after the other, leaving his hands across the sky.

In the first point, he hits three ordinary balls and no flower balls, in the second point, he hits a normal ball and a flower ball, and on the third point, he hits three ordinary balls and a flower ball......

Soon, a minute passed, and Granger threw all the basketballs in his hand.

He's fast, and he's throwing all the balls before the minute runs out.

At the end of the minute, Granger got a total of twenty points!

This score is still not too much for Granger. But it was also far beyond Capono's score. Judging from the screen connected to the high-definition camera, Capono shook his head a little gloomily when he saw this scene.

This made some fans who liked him frown.

Capono has no hope of winning the title this season.

Granger scored 20 points, which is not a very stressful number for Zhong Yu, but shooting often requires a certain amount of luck, and if luck is gone, it will not be easy to shoot easily.

He's about to get back on the field!

Granger's eyes began to strain, and at this time he was also very concerned about whether he would win the championship in the end, so he stared at Zhong Yu intently.

Zhong Yu still stepped on the court wearing his No. 5 jersey, and all the lights were sprinkled on Zhong Yu's body, and he seemed to have all the brilliance at this moment.

The various cheers in the stadium complement each other and mix with the lights, making the whole stadium reach the most important atmosphere.

The final showdown is about to begin!

Who will be able to win the final game, and whether Zhong Yu can meet everyone's expectations, will be completely revealed at this time.

All eyes were on Zhong Yu's body.

Then, the whistle sounded, and Zhong Yu had already grabbed the basketball with his right hand at the first time the whistle sounded, and then the whole person sent the basketball into the sky.

"Bang!" The first ball was a missed jump shot, which disappointed everyone at the scene, including Scarlett, who also felt that Zhong Yu's shot was a pity.

However, Zhong Yu's second jumper quickly answered everyone's questions with a crisp sound of the basketball and the net rubbing.

The second jumper, there it is!

Then, his third jumper was also available! hit two balls in a row, Zhong Yu did not hesitate for half a minute, and threw the remaining two balls from the first point, including a flower ball.

Two more balls in a row!

After experiencing the opening goal of missing, Zhong Yu shot how to shoot, and scored a total of five points in the first point.

As soon as the five points were scored, Zhong Yu still came to the second point with the fastest speed, and then made consecutive jump shots. Five jumpers, all of which were hit, for a total of 11 points so far.

Then, he came to the top of the arc.

Seeing this scene, Granger's face turned pale, completely white...... He really didn't expect Zhong Yu to be so fierce, and he could complete such a perfect three-point shot in the finals, scoring eleven points in two points, but the difference was so many nine points, and such nine points were indeed too dangerous for him.

Moreover, he has three more points.

What's more, at the top of the arc, Zhong Yu's jump shot was indescribably accurate.

Sure enough, Zhong Yu hit three consecutive balls directly at the top of the arc, and it was not until the fourth ball that he barely stopped his trend of consecutive shots. However, he still hit the flower ball at the top of the arc, and in this way, Zhongyu's total score rose to 16 points......

In other words, as long as he can score four more points, he can tie Granger, and as long as he can score more than five points, he can beat Granger and win the championship of this long-range three-point shooting contest.

It was also the first three-point shot championship of his career.

Then, with the expectation of victory, Jongwook came to the fourth point......

At this point, the evil door happened, just how he voted and how he had it, but now it has become that he can't vote no matter how he votes!

In the first three ordinary balls, Zhong Yu didn't hit any of them, until the fourth ball, he barely hit the board into the frame, and the last flower ball, still no!

The sound of gasps rang out one after another.

Originally, I thought that there was no suspense in this game, and Zhong Yu had to win and win the championship trophy of the first three-point shooting contest in his career, but who knew that the situation had developed to this point.

In this way, so far Jongwook has only scored seventeen points, and he is still one of the last three points to tie Danny. Granger is four points away from beating Granger......

Granger's eyes were filled with hope again, but he hadn't imagined that things would turn out this way.

This is not the routine he had in mind at all.

Zhong Yu himself was also a little anxious, and he didn't expect that his performance in the fourth point was completely abnormal. Although he hasn't unblocked his three-point stacking effect at this point, even if it is his normal shooting rate, the ball that hits this point can't be so few.

Time didn't allow him to think too much, and Zhong Yu quickly came to the last point and threw the first ball!

Ordinary ball^

"Bang!" The basketball is out of the hoop again!

Zhong Yu's fans, at this moment, I don't know how many people have closed their eyes, in this way, Zhong Yu has four balls left to shoot, even if the remaining four balls are all hit, Zhong Yu will only be able to score twenty-two points.

And look at those jumpers he just made...... Hitting the last four balls doesn't seem like an easy task at all.

In this way, Jongwook threw a second ordinary ball.

"Huh!" Finally hit the shot.

The total score rose to eighteen points.

With the last six seconds left, Jongwook still had three balls to miss.

For the third ball, he grabbed it and shot it directly.

"Huh!" Hit again!

Nineteen points!

"Come on! Come on! Come on! "Jong Wook fans, no one is no longer cheering for Jong Wook, because as long as Jong Wook can hit the next ordinary ball, he can increase the score to 20 points, at least drag Granger into overtime.

However, it is not what they think......

"Bang!" The basket again rejected Jongwook's jumper.

Suddenly, the sighs of disappointment came and went, and Zhong Yu's ball suddenly forced himself into the final desperate situation. Then the last ball, if he hits, he is the champion, and if he misses, he loses the position of the champion.

There was still one and a two seconds left, and Zhong Yu immediately jumped up, stretched himself in the air, and the basketball left his hands and flew out.

Everyone's eyes are on this basketball, including Jongwook, Scarlett, and Granger.

There's no one who doesn't pay attention to where this ball goes.

The arc of the basketball in the sky, full, beautiful, elegant.

But the final location is still unknown.

Zhong Yu clenched his fists and fell from the air, Zhong Yu, who was also nervous because he had forced himself into a dead end, after throwing the basketball, it was as if the boulder was put down, and everything was relaxed.

All that's left is to accept the judgment of fate!

Then, in the midst of everyone's gaze, the basketball naughtily snorted on the edge of the basket, bounced up slightly, and saw that it had whetted everyone's appetite, and it fell straight into the net flower!

"Huh!" The sound of the basketball and the net rubbing against each other was a little faint, because it was quickly drowned out by all the cheers of the boulder falling on the ground, so that there was not even any scum left.

When the ball hit, Granger's expectant eyes immediately dimmed, and Zhong Yu's right hand clenched into a fist and waved it fiercely.

He hit the last shot! The ball was a flower ball, which brought his total score to twenty-one points, narrowly beating Granger by one point!

Granger is indeed good enough to carry it, and he is just one point away from beating Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu just surpasses him......

"Shot!" DJ's loud voice echoed throughout the arena: "Zhong Yu's last jump shot, after hitting this flower ball, Zhong Yu's total score rose to 21 points, surpassing Danny. Granger won the Shooting Contest this year! ”

DJ's voice detonated the atmosphere of the audience even more, and Scarlett could hear the crazy and piercing cheers in her ears, they were all here for Zhongyu.

Zhong Yu, who narrowly won by one point, wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and then waved his hand in all directions of the arena, which attracted more cheers.

Granger said a little sourly, "Congratulations! ”

This sentence is unwilling, Zhong Yu himself can see it, but there is no way, this is the NBA, this is competitive sports, the rise of one side has to announce the decline of the other, the victory of one side means the defeat of the other side, this is cruel, but true.

Zhong Yu laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "You are still young, you have a chance!" This sentence is not to get cheap and sell well, but a little joke made by Zhong Yu. It's also a bit of a complaint about the players after beating their opponents and making it to the next round of the playoffs.

Granger also understood what he meant, and also smiled: "Fight again next year." ”

"Done!" Zhong Yu nodded.

The award ceremony of the three-point shooting competition attracted many people to attend.

Zhong Yu's fame is there, and the process of this game is also full of a legendary surname of ups and downs...... Zhong Yu's jump shots are still fresh in everyone's memory.

Watching Zhong Yu raise the trophy with both hands, the sound of the cameras in the hands of the reporters was endless, and the cheers of the fans rang out, and they turned into a roar in everyone's ears.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhong Yu's body, and all the lights were sprinkled on him.

Zhong Yu had the last laugh!

Scarlett looked at Jongwook proudly, and for a moment, she felt that her boyfriend was the best person in the world.

……

After dealing with all the reporters, Zhong Yu came out to find her according to the code agreed with Scarlett in the text message. Scarlett is dressed a little thickly today, and the temperature difference between day and night is very big in this place in Phoenix, and it is already very cold at night.

But such a Scarlett Johansson also looks very beautiful, and standing in the wind is even more indescribably bewitching. Zhong Yu came to Scarlett's side, and then handed over the trophy: "I finally got this thing...... Tonight's game was dangerous. ”

Scarlett took the trophy, stroked it and laughed, "But in the end, you still got it, and I really never doubted that you would be able to get this trophy." ”

Zhong Yu smiled and scratched her nose, everything was not in words.
