The All-Star Rookie Challenge is the first game of the All-Star Weekend, Chamberlain's earth-shattering dunk and Durant's crazy three-point rain opened the curtain of this feast, countless fans watched it fascinated, Chamberlain's last sentence 'Our era will eventually come' Although it is a bit arrogant, fans have to admit that two super rookies are coming.

The Rookie Challenge was followed by NBDL DreamWorks, and with the exciting Rookie Challenge, the attraction of this event was reduced a lot, and even many fans quit after watching half of it, and for them, it was worth seeing such a game today.

On February 16th, starting at noon, it was still the All-Star Fan Carnival, Chamberlain entered the carnival with the fans, his task was to take photos with the fans, constantly taking photos, the scissor-hand posture was about to tear his hands, and the smile was paralyzed.

As the days go by, the next day's All-Star Game begins to slowly reach its climax, with the Shooting Star Contest, the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest taking place.

First up is the Shooting Stars Tournament, which features four teams of three players each, including an active NBA player, a retired superstar, and a WNBA female player. Among them, the game is shooting, a bit like the fixed-point shooting that can be seen everywhere on the street, there are a total of 6 shooting points, three people shoot separately, the first person can shoot after the next person shoots, and the winner is determined by a round of competition.

The six shooting points are: 45 degrees 3 meters on the right side, 45 degrees 3 meters on the left side, three-point shot at the top of the circle, 3-point shot at the right baseline, 3-point shot at 45 degrees on the left side and 3 points from long distance in the midfield.

The competition is divided into two rounds, with two teams eliminated in the first round and the winner determined in the second round. The four city teams competing in this tournament are defending champions Detroit, Chicago, Phoenix and San Antonio.

The Detroit team finished last year at 50. The five-second win was won by Billups, whose big heart and accurate shooting ability ensured their victory, but this year Billups left Golden State to become a member of the Warriors, and of course could not participate again, and it was Hamilton who also had accurate shooting ability to fill his place.

In addition to Hamilton, the other three members of the Detroit team are the WNBA's Detroit Vibrations, two-time All-Star Sven Cash, and the Vibrations head coach and four-time NBA All-Star Bill Ranbill.

Chicago's participants include Chris Dujon of the Bulls, a two-time WNBA All-Star team, Chicago Sky forward Candace Duprie, and three-time NBA champion former Bulls player B. J。 Armstrong.

The Phoenix team was the winner of the 2005 Shooting Stars Contest, and this time they fielded the original champion lineup, the small bully Amar Stoudemire, a two-time WNBA All-Star and 2007 WNBA Finals MVP winner Keppie Bombsett and Eddie Johnson.

The San Antonio team also takes this game seriously, and they used to win a record 25 in 2006. One second won that year's championship, and today it also fielded that year's championship lineup: 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.

Although this event was held first, it had the greatest impact on a city, and the cities that could participate in the Shooting Star Contest were all big cities, and they were all big cities where the NBA strong teams were located.

First up is Chicago, where the three players are Chris Duhon, two-time WNBA All-Stars, Candace and Dupree for the Sky, and Bulls Triple Crown veteran B. J. Armstrong. The trio shot relatively smoothly at various points and ended up with a 39. The 6-second finish ends with a six-point shot.

Phoenix's roster consists of Amare Stoudemire, 2007 WNBA Finals MVP Kirby Poundster, and Suns veteran pitcher Eddie Johnson.

Seeing Stoudemire playing in high spirits, Chamberlain scolded 'Sassy Bag', and he secretly prayed in his heart that Phoenix must lose, must lose, and God heard his cry, Johnson missed consecutive three-point shots at 45 degrees on the left side, which greatly affected Phoenix's results, and finally their score was 50. Nine seconds, it's definitely going to lose to Chicago.

San Antonio, the 2006 "Shooting Star" champion, sacrificed the former twin towers of Duncan and David Robinson, complemented by four-time WNBA All-Star and Silver Star guard Becky Harmon. The Admiral looked rusty at the first point, but then he hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner and a shot from the center circle, and San Antonio ended up with a score of 41. 4 seconds.

Detroit at the All-Star Game in Las Vegas ended at 50. Winning the championship in 5 seconds, they were still very optimistic about this competition, but last year they won the championship in the first competition, and this year they ran in and became familiar with the competition, so isn't it better?

It's a pity that all this has disappeared with Billups's departure from Golden State, although Hamilton is known for his projection, but he really does not have as strong guidance and big heart as Loops, the performance of the three at the three-point line greatly affected the final result, Ranbir's mid-circle shot sent the ball to the audience, but Cash only needed one shot to hit the frame, and Detroit's final score was 57. 6。

Chicago and San Antonio reached the finals, and Duncan's front-to-head three-pointers and mid-circle shots were both hits, giving San Antonio a staggering 35 in the final. 8 seconds of results. Although Chicago had a smooth ride in the first five points, it took more than ten shots to shoot the ball in the middle circle, with a score of 53. 8 seconds, and finally San Antonio won the championship.

The Shooting Stars contest was followed by the Skills Challenge, a new event that entered All-Star Weekend in 2003 and was designed to showcase the skills of the league's best playmakers. The game consists of four players dribbling, passing, and shooting in a field with a variety of different obstacles within a set time.

The game is equipped with obstacles and prescribed routes, and players must use a combination of dribbling, passing and shooting skills to complete the specified events, and the time taken determines the victory or defeat, as follows:

1。 The competition is divided into two rounds, the first round is the preliminary round, divided into two groups, each group of two players to play, the fastest finisher to enter the second round.

2。 The clock starts when the whistle blows at the start of the game, and stops when the player throws the last ball, according to the referee's whistle.

3。 Players must follow the basic rules of the NBA dribbling while playing.

4。 There are three required passing events and a shooting event called "Top of the Penalty Area". A player can be considered a parlay when he or she has any of the following two situations: (1) a successful hit on the target or a shot; (2) Hitting a target with a ball/shooting without success after using up all the balls in its rack.

5。 For the layup and the last shot, if a player misses a shot, he must grab his rebound before he can make the next shot.

6。 If the two players are tied in the match (the time difference is 0. within 1 second), there will be an extra game.

7。 If a player fails to complete a certain level as required. The referee will have the right to disqualify him/her from the competition.

8。 There is no time limit for any level in the match.

9。 The second round is the final, and the player who finishes the fastest will win the championship.

The line-up for this year's Skills Challenge is exceptional, with Jason Kidd being the first champion of the event in 2003 and Dwyane Wade winning the event two times in a row in '06 and '07. In addition, the hosts' hero Chris Paul and the Jazz's core guard Deron Williams will also participate, three of these four are recognized as the top four point guards in the league today, and the missing one is Nash.

However, Dwyane Wade is no less famous than Nash, and he continues to compete in the tournament to try to complete the treble as the defending champion.

Wade first won the title of King of Tricks in 2006, when he defeated the King of Tricks in the final of the All-Star Weekend Skill Challenge, where he defeated the little emperor LeBron James. Then he defeated Lakers star Kobe Bryant at the All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge in Las Vegas last year, and the two championships were exactly the best of the league's new and old generations.

All four have been outstanding this season, with Wade averaging 24 per game in the NBA this year. With five points and the fifth-highest scoring list in the league, Chris Paul also competed in the 2006 All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge, averaging 2 per game this year. His five steals are the highest in the league, and Paul is also 10 assists per game. Nine times ranked second in the league, behind Nash.

Kidd was the winner of the 2003 NBA All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge, and this season he averaged 10 assists per game. Ranked third in the league 4 times. Dulwich Williams is playing in the All-Star Skills Challenge for the first time in his career this year, and he is averaging nine per game in the NBA this season. His six assists rank fourth in the league.

In the first round of the preliminaries, Williams was the first to appear, and all the movements were completed smoothly, only the passing and circle top shots were not very successful, and it took 31 years in the end. 2 seconds. The second player was Kidd, who did a perfect job of passing and crossing obstacles, but missed a few shots on the shot and finished with 39. 7 seconds, which made Chamberlain, who hated the Jazz, regret a lot.

However, Paul, who came on next, completed all the moves perfectly, only using 2 passes on the ground, and the last 29. Finish the race in 9 seconds. Wade, the two-time champion, was blocked off the court by the wooden man when he crossed the obstacles, and when he shot from the top of the circle, like Kidd, he didn't hit a single shot after shooting five balls, and after hitting the ground and passing without a single hit, Wade had already given up the game, and after slowly finishing the last basket, the time had passed 53. 9 seconds.

At the beginning of the final, DeLong took the lead, and all the movements were done in one go, taking only 25. The race was completed in 5 seconds, which was better than in the preliminary round. Paul then came on the court, but he used twice on the first pass, and the shot was also used twice, Chamberlain suddenly groaned, originally thought that God was standing by his side today, it turned out that he overestimated his charm, and Delong's skill king did not run.

Sure enough, Paul finished the race with 31 years later. 2 seconds. Deron Williams became the new champion of the competition, 25. Five seconds is also the record of the competition in the six years since it was held......

Then came the three-point contest, which is supposed to be a traditional All-Star event, in 1986, when the three-point champion was the greatest scorer in NBA history, Larry Bird, who went on to complete a three-game winning streak and become the first All-Star Game triple.

It wasn't the sharpshooters who made the three-point contest famous early on, but the trash talk of Larry Bird, which brought together the best three-point shooters of the day in 1988. As a two-time three-point champion, Bird was under no pressure, he slipped slowly into the locker room before the game and asked sincerely: Are you all here to compete for second place?

After the locker room's "Are you all here to fight for second place" left all the competitors speechless, Bird was not satisfied, and he made a new joke before the game. While everyone else was shooting warm-up, he sat motionless on the bench in a long-sleeved shirt. Anji, a teammate who came to participate in the competition, was puzzled, and Bird pouted: Do you still need to warm up to win your group of guys?

The most awesome thing is that Bird really wore a training shirt after the last. But tragically, Bird hit none of his first five goals, and it seemed that his big words were about to become a laughing stock. However, he proved to be worthy of the NBA's deadliest killer: after getting serious, he fought hard to catch up, hit consecutive shots, and tied the score with the penultimate shot. As soon as the last shot was made, Bird pointed to the sky with one hand to signal that he had sealed the victory: and with that, the three-point contest won three times in a row.

If you think that Bird is over after spewing out the classic trash talk of "are you all here to fight for second place" and "you need to warm up to win", then you can only say that you are too naïve, and when Bird took a photo with his sponsors after the game, he smiled and muttered: "I told you before the game that the check should be filled with my name." ”

Before the game, Chamberlain once again heard this well-known joke be introduced, and it was Sonny Vacaro who said these words to him, because the sponsor of the three-point contest that year was the championship group.

The three-point contest compares the scores scored by the contestants in one minute, and the one with the most points is naturally the three-point king. There are a total of 5 shooting points in the game: two symmetrical feet, two symmetrical at a 45-degree angle, and one at the top of the arc. There are 5 balls at each shooting point, of which 4 balls (orange balls) are worth one point, and the last flower ball (red, blue, white) is worth 2 points, and the flower ball is called "money-ball", which can also be translated as a key ball.

The tournament is normally divided into two rounds, with each player having one chance in each round, with the top three players in the first round advancing to the final. The second round is played in the same way as the first round, with an extra match in the final if there is a tie until the ranking is determined.

This time in the three-point contest are Capono, Gibson, Peja Stojakovic and Dirk Nowitzki, among which the most favored is of course Peja, the Serbian is the most famous shooter in the current NBA, in the minds of NBA players, his projection ability is better than that of Ray Allen, who is known as Miller's successor, and Hamilton, the immortal shooter. Although Capono is the defending champion, not many people think of him, and more people think that his last three-point title was obtained by chance, which is why he insists on continuing to participate in the three-point contest.

However, it was Capono, Gibson and Nowitzki who made it to the final, with 20, 17 and 17 points respectively, while Pega Stojakovic, who was favored before the game, was scooped

Discard. Gibson started the second round, and although he was average in the first two positions, he suddenly became powerful in the last three, especially in the last point, and he scored 17 points, the same as in the preliminary round, which is a competitive result.

Nowitzki was the second to play, but his hand didn't seem to be as good as in the preliminaries. With only one shot on the ball, the "German Chariot" ended up scoring only 14 points.

Capono was the last one to play, and his form was also very good, he scored 10 points in the first two points, 15 points in the third point, and in the third ball of the fourth point, he has successfully defended the title, and finally his score is 25 points, whether the score or the shooting percentage is exactly the same as last year, he finally justified himself.

Chamberlain is very interested in this event, because he used to be a three-point shooter, but unfortunately he has not regained his touch until now, as long as he finds his touch, he must participate in the three-point contest, but now he has to think about the dunk contest, because it is the game he is going to participate in.

Finally, the most attractive game on the second day of All-Star Weekend is about to begin, the battle of the dunk kings!
