Chapter 282: I'm afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I'm even more afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover!
At half past seven in the evening of February 12th, the truly long-awaited single-event showdown began!
If the rookie game is a show for the league's gentlemen to show off their own show, which is an appetizer for the All-Star Game, then the All-Star Game is a dessert after the appetizer.
Of course, that's been the case in the past, but this year, it's a completely different story!
Whether it's the lineup of the three-point contest or the slam dunk contest, it's a bit too scary!
An absolute duel of kings!
Marcus, who came to the scene to explain the single event, said directly: "Tonight's single event showdown of this level, I'm afraid there will be no more in the future!" As the first All-Star Game of the 21st century, the league has really done a great job this year! This kind of lineup duel is worth reminiscing about for 20 years! β
When a game is so admired by fans and media, the players certainly won't miss it! They know better than the fans and the media how rare this lineup is today, and they know better than anyone that this gang of shooters and dunks will definitely make a big deal tonight!
Therefore, when the TV camera swept over the front row of the audience, everyone found that almost all the stars of NBA teams were sitting in the front row!
For example, O'Neal, who was dressed in hip-hop costumes and held a DV juggler, said that he would record all the details of tonight, and next to him sat Kobe Bryant, who looked very calm, wearing trousers and leather shoes with a shirt, and wearing Kobe Bryant, who looked out of place with other hip-hop stars around him.
Then there is the Trailblazer gang not far away, Rashid, Pippen, Sabonis, Stoudamile, Smith, and O'Neal Jr., who is being bullied by them on the ground.
In addition, Duncan, who doesn't like to attend this kind of occasion and would rather stay in the house and read comics, was also dragged out by David Robinson, and next to the pair of interior twin towers sat Richmond and Jalen Rose, the four kings of the Spurs!
The pair with the strongest aura is Ma Long and Mourning's Heat Twin Towers, the expressions of these two guys are more serious than the other, and they look like no one is going to enter, these two most difficult guys in the league sit together, and none of the other NBA players are willing to come next to them.
After the three role players who are no longer stars have been shot, it's the turn of the night to take on the main event!
A showdown of five All-Star-caliber players!
Boring!
Of course, as the host, Jamison, Hughes, Mills, Marshall, Blaylock and other Warriors players formed the largest phalanx, and more than half of the Warriors players were here.
When the players finished their appearance, the host of the scene immediately greeted him and started the interview.
There is also Garnett, who is also very dark among the blacks, sitting on the field without the passion on the court, but sitting quietly waiting for the game to start, flanked by a Nezha Sprewell and the team's new potential goalscorer Szzebiak.
At the beginning, Hornacek, Kerr and Barry spoke finely, these three were either late in their careers or full role players, and they knew very well what to say and what not to say, so it was all meaningless nonsense, and the whole atmosphere, it was like a quiet time.
The fans listened to the choking of several stars, it was a whoosh of excitement, and they came to see this!
Who wants to see you humble and polite to each other?
It wasn't until Miller took the microphone that everything was different, and the peace and humility just now disappeared: "I hope they don't cry when they go home after they lose tonight, because Uncle Reggie is going to win his first three-point contest tonight!" β
This is known as the strongest three-point contest in NBA history, and it doesn't smell of gunpowder, does that seem like it?
Although they don't participate in the competition, it is also necessary to come and support the event held at home!
Lin Tian's words are obviously a reproduction of Larry Bird's arrogant and provocative words at the 3-point competition, but although it is a reproduction, the effect is great!
Fans, I like his arrogant energy!
For a while, the entire Auckland Stadium burst into cheers and shouts!
This is a true portrayal of the hearts of the fans at this time.
It's not a show of the code of conduct for elementary school students.
The whole process is over in less than 5 minutes, and then the MC on the scene sends the players back to their seats, and the 8 players go on the court in turn to shoot.
The fans, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately let out a deafening cheer and shout!
That's what they're waiting for!
That's hard to say!
Tonight, no one is there to see the cheerleaders and mascots perform!
The eight contestants stood in a row, and the live footage was given to each of them in turn, and then the data such as the number of three-point shots and shooting percentage of each of them this season were given below.
Finally, when the microphone was handed to Lin Tian, this guy looked at everyone else and said, "Have you finished discussing?" Was there a discussion about who would be the second place? β
Rice, who was the first to debut, came up in the first point 5 in a row, and then maintained a very good feeling all the way, the league's regular season 3-point king two years ago, and finally scored 23 points!
Ray Allen, who appeared next, disappointed the fans a little, and he was known as the first scorer of the new generation, but he only scored 19 points!
At this point, only 5 people have been voted, and those below 21 points are no longer eligible to enter the finals!
Even if Miller, who is on the court next, shoots a score of more than 22 points, Kerr, who is the first to score 21 points, will be eliminated directly!
Then there is Rice, who once wanted to challenge Jordan, and now is willing to be the third leader of the Lakers, was also stimulated to be ferocious, and said loudly: "The three of you are all going to lose tonight, and after I win the championship, I will invite you to drink!" β
"See, Reggie, the garbage young man who doesn't even think of anything is not afraid of you now, you have nothing to fear! You're a rookie who can't even start! Peyton followed suit, and spat Miller and Allen as well.
The order of shooting is determined by the number of 3-point shots in the regular season, the fewer shots per game, the earlier you play, if the average number of shots per game is the same, then look at the total, and then look at the shooting percentage.
In fact, it is to put the basketball on the 5-ball rack, and then wipe the court and check the net.
"You're out of luck, the three-point contest doesn't belong to you." A humble and low-key Ray Allen seemed to be affected by the atmosphere, and immediately spewed trash talk at Miller.
According to this rule, the first to play is Kerr, then Hornacek, then Barry, Rice, Miller, Allen, Payton and Lin Tian in the finale!
He hit 11 balls, three of which were flowers, and scored just 14 points in total.
After throwing, Miller shook his wrist, bit his lip, and shook his head helplessly.
The lowest score in the field so far.
The level of this year's 3-point competition is indeed strong and terrifying!
Then, Miller, the league's recognized all-time leading scorer, walked onto the court and after a long breath, Miller began his performance.
Iverson and Marbury, the lifelong enemies, sat together on an extremely rare occasion, and they both muttered that they didn't know what they were talking about, but looking at their expressions, both guys were obviously very excited.
"Come on guys, on this night, on this night that may be the most anticipated and luxurious night in the history of the league, let's say a word first, come, give your opponents, a cruel word!"
The first point, 3 in!
The second point, 2 in the middle!
The third point is only 2 again!
The fourth point, one did not enter!
By the fifth point, although Miller had scored four, it was already to no avail.
Although Kerr played little time in the regular season, if you only talk about shooting, especially shooting at the fixed point, this guy is definitely a figure in league history, and he was the first to appear on the court, he was full of experience, and easily scored 21 points!
In previous years, this score would definitely guarantee a place in the finals, but this year......
Just do it!
him! Break his eggs! Fight to the death! Hang it up and fight! Hit the ground!
That's it!
The DJs and MCs on the scene are also crazy to hook the minds of the fans, constantly raising the atmosphere, and then there is a series of hot performances, with celebrities singing, cheerleaders dancing, and mascots playing treasures.
Let your kid sneak away on his own!
The MC at the scene was also extremely excited by the trash talk of the star-level shooters behind him, and he shouted: "So, let's see who is the winner tonight!" β
Next up was Hornacek, who was a solid veteran with 23 points!
Barry, who appeared next, because his father is a famous Warriors, is also half of his home court, and the fans at the scene gave him very high cheers, and he did not disappoint his hometown father, throwing a high score of 22 points!
Then, after all the prepared activities were over, the eight players who participated in the three-point contest tonight were the first to walk out of the players' tunnel!
With his shouting, the atmosphere of the scene was lifted to another climax, and the eight contestants also dispersed to warm up, and then the staff quickly prepared for the venue.
His form this year has really dropped too much, and this kind of continuous fast shooting, his stiff right wrist is really a little unmanageable.
"It's okay Reggie, Michael once scored 5 points, and your 14 points is nothing." Lin Tian stretched out his hand, bumped into Miller, and comforted him to relax.
"It's fine." Miller shook his head and sat there, but everyone could tell he was okay.
"Gary hasn't voted yet, I bet, he's worse than you!" Lin Tian patted Miller on the shoulder and said, "Up to 13 points!" β
"What kid are you talking about?" Payton, who had already stood up and was about to shoot, looked back at Lin Tiandao: "Lao Tzu has a maximum of 13 points?" β
"You shoot well, why are there so many things?" Lin Tian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Be careful, if you throw a 4 point, you will lose your adult!" β
"I'll shoot 4 points? You think I'm Michael's weak chicken? I'll give you a 25 points right now for you to see! Payton cursed, turned and walked toward the court.
4 points? Are you kidding? Even if Lao Tzu stomped his hands, cut off his feet, and sat on the floor and shot with his head, it was impossible to score only 4 points! Do you really think everyone is a piece of crap like Jordan?
With a stomach full of displeasure, Payton walked onto the court, as the guy with the most 3-point shots and the top production this season, his three-point shooting percentage was actually the lowest among all the participants tonight, and the only guy who was less than 40%.
But 4 points? Are you kidding!
"Gary!"
Payton was thinking about it when Malone suddenly roared, causing Payton to look.
"Come on!" Malone gave a thumbs up: "Let that kid look good!" β
It's okay to cheer on your teammates, and it's okay to teach your teammates a good lesson about their old enemies.
But at this point in time, Malone chose to be very ingenious.
When Payton turned around, the scene had already begun to count down to 3, 2, and 1.
By the time Malone finished saying come on, Payton hurriedly turned around to shoot, and the game had already begun, although it was less than 1 second wasted, but Payton's rhythm and preparation had been completely disrupted.
The first point, all lost!
Ma Long and Peyton didn't hold back Lin Tian from the field, and they burst out laughing directly.
Good guy, this Malone has been playing with Stockton for so long, and he hasn't learned anything else, but now he is the second assist king!
Payton's second point, he scored 1 goal!
The third point is all-iron again!
After most of the shots, he scored 2 points!
At this moment, Miller, who was still depressed just now, suddenly became energetic, and just a little bit of decadence and loss disappeared in the blink of an eye!
His eyes widened and he looked at Peyton expectantly.
The fourth point is still all lost!
At the fifth point, Peyton has come to challenge history!
He had to score at least 3 points to tie Jordan's all-time worst record, and 4 points to avoid being at the bottom of the list!
Nervous! Peyton, who has always been a mess, is nervous!
His hands were a little trembling, what the hell is really going to be the first in history?
Then, the last point and the first ball, he came directly to a 3 non-stick!
After this ball, Payton felt even worse, and failed to shoot two balls in a row!
He only had 2 chances left for the last 2 balls!
The last two balls, an ordinary ball and a flower ball, are all close to 3 points, and they can also drag Jordan into the water to share the penultimate in history.
If you lose one......
Peyton didn't dare to think!
He steadied his rhythm and even took a deep breath before throwing the ball.
"Huh!"
3 points!
Peyton saved his career!
Got a chance! A chance to tie the penultimate spot!
He picked up the last flower ball, also steadied, took aim, and shot!
"Huh!"
Entered!
YESοΌ
Peyton didn't show any excitement, but he was relieved!
It's better not to be the last person to be the first.
But before he could finish his breath, the referee on the scene made a gesture.
Not counts!
The last flower ball doesn't count!
Timed out!
Peyton is running out of time!
The last ball doesn't count! He had the lowest score in the history of the three-point contest!
After learning about this situation, Peyton was stunned!
stepped on a horse, was he really made the lowest score in history by Lao Tzu? Just kidding!
Peyton reached out and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked at the big screen.
3 points indeed!
And then?
Then, Miller and Lin Tian, two vicious guys, rushed to the court frantically, and Miller hugged Peyton and yelled excitedly!
Lin Tian jumped up and bumped Peyton in the air!
Excited! Happy!
He was happy to see the new historical record appear!
Miller swept away the haze just now, and forgot all about the fact that he only scored 14 points just now.
How do you say that?
I'm afraid that my brother will live a hard life, and I'm even more afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover!
Man, that's it!
It doesn't matter if I'm rotten, you're worse than me!
It doesn't matter if I have a small score, 14 is at least a normal score.
Can it be 3 points?
Hahaha!
Payton is going down in NBA history forever!
At this time in Washington, the complacent Jordan had just finalized the contract to acquire part of the Wizards' shares, and he officially became the second shareholder of the Wizards, signed at the same time as the share transfer contract, as well as the contract of the team's executive president.
In other words, starting next season, Jordan will officially take charge of a team as general manager, and the basketball god is back!
However, Jordan was actually a little unhappy at this time, because he was also watching the live broadcast of the All-Star Game when he was negotiating contracts with Washingtonians.
Peyton's goddamn bastard actually scored 3 points!
This kind of wonderful moment, this kind of extremely happy moment, such a good thing that the whole world celebrates, I am not at the scene!
It's a pity, it's a pity!
Jordan regretted it for the first time, why didn't he agree to Stern's invitation? If I were a judge of the slam dunk contest, I would definitely be able to rush to the court at this time, celebrate happily with Payton, and send him sincere blessings.
Instead of being like now, I can only watch Lin Tian and Miller hug Payton like they won the championship, O'Neal rushed to the court and hugged Payton as if this was his best brother since he was a child, and the Trail Blazers' group of bastards sang and danced around Payton.
Although the TV broadcast perspective has been very sullen to Peyton's close-up, so that fans all over the world can see this guy's expression like eating, and he keeps watching it from multiple angles, but without watching it live, the effect is completely different!
I want to see it live, I want to send blessings on the spot, and I want to celebrate from the bottom of my heart with my dear friends.
Eat one's heart out!
Very jealous!
"Michael Jordan has a mood swing and drops 100 XP!"
Well?
Lin Tian, who was singing to Peyton with Rashid's freestyle lyrics, was suddenly stunned.
Peyton gave him experience and he understood, Miller and Rashid were happy to give him experience, and Lin Tian also understood.
But Jordan, shouldn't this thing be talking about joining the Wizards in Washington right now? Can this also be fun for yourself?
What a loyal thick sheep! No matter how you can't get it, it's not clean.
Of course, Lin Tian wouldn't know that Jordan was jealous before he sent him a gift, but Lin Tian's happiness was definitely from the heart.
It's really happy and happy to be able to see other people messing around!
I can't get tired of watching it 100 times!
What does that mean?
Whoever disgraces my brother, I will make him lose his life, but if my brother does something ridiculous by selling stupidity and losing face, then I must take a photo and send it to Moments, Weibo, Twitter, Facebook, ins, QQ space, Renren, Intranet, Tieba, forums, major portals!
Let the whole world know!
Happy, happy!
Peyton's face was now ugly, as if he had eaten 100 cans of expired herring from flies and maggots, and it was green from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
He now regrets that he would come to participate in the three-point contest, why did he make such a stupid choice?
The scene of the entire three-point contest, because Payton did this, was directly interrupted for more than 5 minutes, no way, too many players rushed to the court to celebrate, everyone was so happy.
Even the two guys, Malone and Mourning, couldn't help but laugh at this moment, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was teammates and couldn't do too much, the two of them would definitely rush to the court to celebrate together!
That's 3 points!
Let O'Neal's grandmother go up and shoot, and there is a lot of hope to get 5 points!
As far as NBA-level players are concerned, it is definitely more difficult to score 3 points in the three-point contest than to score 30 points in the case of shooting well and shooting seriously!
This kind of scene, he is really rare!
After the players finally had enough fun and completely broke Payton's mentality, everyone remembered that Lin Tian hadn't voted yet.
So, Lin Tian came on the field.
However, Lin Tian doesn't have much of the heart to shoot well at this time, compared to a three-point contest champion, he wants to make something sassy, maybe there will be an accident......
At the first point, Lin Tian directly chose to shoot with his left hand!
The first 2 didn't fit in, and they all hit the iron.
But the third, fourth, and fifth flower balls are in succession!
4 points!
At the first point, Lin Tian surpassed Peyton!
"Gary! Left hand! Look at my left hand! β
Lin Tian ran to the second point excitedly, and did not forget to wave his left hand to chat with Peyton.
But Peyton completely ignored Lin Tian and didn't give any face!
Don't give face? No way!
After reaching the 45-degree angle of the flank, Lin Tian turned directly to the side and began to shoot with a hook hand!
He looked at Payton as he hooked his hand sideways.
At this moment, Lin Tian Jabbar possessed!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! β
The first four balls, all iron.
But no problem! Because of the fifth ball, Lin Tian slammed and hooked in!
"Gary! Hook! It's a hook hand! You can try this next time! β
Lin Tian was completely entertained at this time, laughing and coming to the top of the arc, this time he didn't even look at the basket, and threw one first with the basket on his back.
"Huh!"
It's outrageous!
It's all in!
Lin Tian threw 5 balls with his back at the top of the arc, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hit three consecutive irons, but the last flower ball scored again!
What does Peyton say at this point?
Lin Tian believes that he would rather go to hell, be pressed to the ground by Satan and whip a small leather whip, and definitely don't want to appear on the field tonight!
But it can't be helped, Satan doesn't go to work today! He's going to watch Peyton get out of the way, too!
When he reached the fourth point, Lin Tian raised his eyes and looked at the timer.
Hey, it's too hilarious, nine times out of ten, I can't finish it.
But is this important?
Obviously not important!
After coming to the fourth point, Lin Tian yelled at Peyton again: "Gary! This is my gift to you tonight! Look in my eyes! Look ahead! β
After speaking, Lin Tian closed his eyes directly.
"Whew! Boom! β
The first two goals, 1 in 1 iron!
Then Lin Tian felt bored, he changed to his left hand again, took his left hand and threw it again!
At this time, the fans on the court also saw Lin Tian's action of closing his eyes, and they immediately understood what Lin Tian was doing, so the fans in Auckland immediately became roundworms in Lin Tian's stomach!
They began to shout the trash talk that Lin Tian wanted to hear the most.
"Gary! Look at Lin's eyes! β
"Gary, Lin is aiming with his heart!"
"Gary, Lin is more accurate than you with his left hand closed!"
At this time, Peyton really wants to die!
He had never been so eager for death and deliverance as he was at this moment!
"Boom! Swish! Boom! β
At the fourth point, Lin Tian closed his eyes and threw three balls with his left hand, 2 iron and 1 hit!
At the same time, he finally lost his first flower ball.
When Lin Tian still wanted to run to the bottom line, he found that it was too late, and the 1-minute game was over.
In the case of not throwing a ball at the last point, Lin Tian only threw 20 balls, and scored 11 points with five left-handed, five back-to-back, five hook hands and five closed-eye shots!
Although he is the penultimate in the second to last, although looking at the entire history of the NBA, 11 points is low enough, but Lin Tian is very happy, happier than he is to shoot a full score!
Peyton's face was even more ugly, he lost face in front of the whole world, and then Lin Tian, the bastard, was still chasing after and scolding?
"Lin, he actually threw with his left hand? He...... He still hooked hands? Is he trying to force Abdul-Jabbar to make a comeback? This bastard! If I were Peyton, I'd kill him! My God! He turned around! He turned his back, and he closed his eyes again! Oh shit! Poor Gary! I feel a little sorry for him! β
Marcus's expression at this moment was also very exciting, and he asked Smith beside him, "Smith, have you ever seen anything crazier than this?" β
"See, just 10 minutes ago, Gary threw a 3-pointer with his right hand! Isn't it crazier than this? After Smith finished speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer, and let out a burst of laughter, and he laughed, and his stomach hurt from laughter.
"Lin Tian, this athlete, he ......" Sun Zhengping, who was in charge of commenting the game in Huaxia Sports, hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to describe Lin Tiangang's performance.
"Lin Tian, his scolding is so advanced!" Su Qun next to him gave a perfect answer.
Yes, swearing is too advanced!
How advanced is it?
"Gary Payton has a mood swing and drops 2000 XP!"
"Gary Payton has a mood swing and drops permanent ability: Glove Spin LV1 (0/2000)."
"Glove Spin LV1: 7% increase in back-to-back ability, 7% increase in turning skills, 7% increase in finishing ability under the basket, and 7% increase in power!"
Wow, double shot!
Lin Tian suddenly won a reward that was far more than the championship of the 3-point competition for him!
Peyton not only burst out 2,000 experience points at once, but also exploded a skill!
And it's Peyton's signature skill!
Or rather, Payton's core skills on the offensive end!
Back punch and turn to break through!
When ordinary people think of Peyton, the first thing that comes to mind must be his airtight defense.
From the time he locked Kevin Johnson to get the nickname 'Glove', to the time he once started a 1-on-1 heads-up with Jordan when he fell behind the Bulls 0:3 in the Finals, and in the next three games, Jordan, who averaged 31.7 points per game and shot 50% in the first three games, to only 23.7 points and a shooting rate of only 36%.
The statement that Jordan is limited to Kobe Bryant's level comes from these three games, which is also the only time in Jordan's Finals career that he has scored less than 30 points in three consecutive games!
Of course, in the end, Payton couldn't turn the series around, and the Bulls still became the champions that year.
But as the only guy in NBA history to win the All-Defensive Player of the Year as a point guard and a nine-time All-Defensive First Team selection, when everyone mentions him, they think of his defense!
But only those who really know Payton will know that he is just as strong on the offensive end!
The career average of 16 points per game may seem unremarkable, but in seven of his 17-year career, he averaged more than 20 points per game and two years more than 19 points, and in a world without Lin Tian, he was the most offensive playmaker in the 90s!
Of course, his offense doesn't have those flying dunks, nor does he have a galloping breakthrough, and his style of play is more practical and concise.
His signature attack has three moves!
The first is a small change of direction and then a hesitant step to attract the opponent's center of gravity, and then quickly turn to wipe the opponent to complete the breakthrough, and the second is the back single, he has the height and weight of the league's No. 1 position, and also has a top sense of smell, he can seize the moment when the opponent's defense is wrong, use a quick turn to get space, and then complete the shot.
Low-handed throws and mid-range shots after turning are his signature skills.
As for the third.
It was the super-confident 3-point shot that made George Karl scold his mother many times.
He has only shot in the early 30% of his 3-point shooting for most of his career, and he also likes to pull out a cover directly, and from time to time he has to chase down, as for efficiency, it can only be said that it is just right to keep coaches and home fans from high blood pressure.
This time, Lin Tian obtained this skill, just by looking at the introduction, you can know that it was Payton's breakthrough and back play, and he failed to learn his three points......
Thankfully, I didn't learn.
His 3 points are really useless for Lin Tian, but it's not as useful as Lin Tian's own trick of 'blocking and shooting'!
Anyway, although Lin Tian failed to enter the final in the 3-point competition, and even voted the penultimate in the game, he was happy!
Super happy! And it's also very rewarding!
The 2,000 experience points that Peyton gave Lin Tian didn't keep, and he used it directly on the spot!
"Glove Spin LV2 (0/4000): 9% increase in back body ability, 9% increase in turning skills, 9% increase in finishing ability under the basket, and 9% increase in strength!"
Well, after consumption, comfortable!
At this time, not only Lin Tian is comfortable, but the fans in the entire Auckland Center are also very happy, after all, sometimes, it is really not interesting for you to vote 25-6 points in the 3-point competition.
Peyton's 3 points are unique in history!
It's fun to watch superstars hit the iron, lose face, and be embarrassed!
And Lin Tian's fancy shooting mockery scored 11 points, which was also full of entertainment effects, which made the fans watching the game in front of the entire stadium and TV burst!
This kind of behavior in the three-point contest is also unique in NBA history! Happy!
Also very happy, there is Jordan!
What is he happy about?
He's happy now, he's not there!
He didn't have the slightest doubt, he was 100% sure that if he was on the scene, Lin Tian would definitely say to himself: Michael, if I cast like this, I only threw 4 points, and I could get 11 points, how did you vote for 5 points back then? Do you look at the basket with your asshole?
This bastard will definitely taunt himself in passing!
Even if you mock Lao Tzu, you still taunt by the way! I can't bear it, but I'm good enough to be smart and didn't give this bastard a chance to taunt me!
At the same time, Jordan is also rejoicing, fortunately, when he participated in the 3-point contest 10 years ago, no one was so arrogant, and no one dared to shoot like this to mock himself, otherwise......
Jordan thought for a moment about Peyton's terrible and painful expression.
Hiss......
It's terrifying!
"Michael Jordan has a mood swing and drops 100 XP!"
Oh, here we go again!
Lin Tian, who was comfortable, completely relaxed and leaned back in his chair to enjoy the final of the three-point contest, was moved by Jordan's act of giving gifts in the air.
Why don't you wait for a dunk later, thank him again to express your thoughts?
Otherwise, how can it be worthy of the sports car sent by Lao Tie!
Of course, the number one old iron at this time, it has to be Peyton with a stinky face and not saying a word.
This guy's psychological shadow is afraid that it will last for a long time.
What do you say about this three-point contest?
It was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.
The three people who are most likely to win the championship and have the largest coffee positions among the contestants: Lin Tian, Peyton, and Miller, voted into the top three, and Peyton also directly won the first place in history, which can be said to be completely different from the audience's expectations!
But the three-point contest is such a thing, if you have several 15-6 points here rookies pecking each other, it is not interesting at all, but if there is a blatant provocation in the show of fancy shooting ridicule, then the game will immediately become very interesting again!
So much so that few people paid attention to the finals at this time, and the big guys were immersed in Payton's earth-shattering 3-pointer, and Lin Tian pointed his nose and scolded his mother's game style, these two people are really fun!
Even Lin Tian's trash talk before the game that which of you is here to compete for second place will not be mentioned by anyone at this time and in the future.
A hi trash talk, how can it be compared to just shooting casually, and always shooting exciting and fun?
In the end, this surprise, far more interesting process than the result, is known as the strongest three-point contest in history, and it ended with Hornacek successfully defending his title and becoming the three-point king for the second time in a row.
I don't know if it was the accidents and episodes in the preliminary round that made the players lose their rhythm and feel, the first round of shooting was dark, and the shooters who were as accurate as cruise missiles were collectively inaccurate!
Including the championship-winning Hornacek, he was also inaccurate, throwing a record of the lowest number of points in the history of the NBA three-point contest.
13 points!
The champions all only have 13 points, and the rest of the guys who made it to the finals are so bad that it goes without saying.
In short, after a preliminaries that were full of entertainment and professionalism, the finals really became the most boring rookie pecking at each other.
The only thing that is a little regrettable is Lin Tian.
When the MC interviewed the 8 contestants for the last time and asked them to give their comments, he smiled and said: "I knew that if I made such a fancy shot when I entered the finals, I might be able to win the championship!" β
"Thankfully, Gary." Miller's answer was even more direct, and he expressed his gratitude to Payton from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for Peyton, he would be the one who is embarrassed today.
As for Peyton? This guy's mouth is about to reach his chest, and in the face of the MC's question, he only said: "FUXX!" β
Well, directly exploding swear words, this swear words will most likely make Payton pay a fine of 2-30,000 US dollars after the game, but if he doesn't say it now, he will really have to be aggrieved to death.
And except for this swear word that has to be said, Payton has not said a word tonight since Lin Tian started shooting.
He was really blown up by Lin Tian, by everyone on the scene, and by himself!
Then, there was a brief award ceremony, with Hornacek taking a photo with his trophy and speaking, before exiting the field with the other seven men.
Next, it's tonight's finale, the most exciting slam dunk contest!
Before that, of course, there will be a commercial and a cheerleading show.
"How about Charles, it's a feeling to be a judge soon." Because his partner was to be a judge, Kenny was a stand-up speaker most of the night, but now, before the slam dunk contest began, he still found Barkley and took the time to have a conversation.
"Excited! Seriously, I've seen the dunk highlights of these 6 players, and all I can say is that tonight was definitely a battle for the dragon! At least 5 people have a chance to win the championship! I believe that this slam dunk contest will definitely not be a gag spice like the 3-point contest. β
"I'm really looking forward to tonight's slam dunk contest, and it may be the best in NBA history!"
"Then tell me who is your favorite among your five candidates." Kenny laughed.
"Vince! I can't support Lin anymore this time, as long as you see Vince's dunks, you will know that he was born for dunks! β
"And who is that person who isn't on your shortlist?"
"Larry...... Damn it, Kenny, you bastard, you're actually cheating on me? "Barkley reacted quickly, but it was too late, after all, there was only one contestant tonight named Larry.
The bigger problem is that Larry Hughes is a player for the Warriors, and although he has only been here for less than 40 days, the fans treat him as their own, and after hearing Barkley's negative comments through the loudspeakers throughout the stadium, the fans immediately sent crazy boos to Barkley!
This burst of mountain and tsunami boos can be regarded as a hot field for the slam dunk contest!
As for Barkley, he took advantage of the camera to move away, quickly gave Kenny a middle finger, and then turned and headed towards the judges' bench.
With bursts of boos and Kenny's smug laughter, the makeshift stage has been set up, and the five judges near the halftime are in place!
The MC at the scene also began to introduce the 5 judges.
"The tallest slam dunk king in history, the 'potato' Spot Webb who proves that ordinary people can fly!"
"One of the strongest dunks in history, Dominique Wilkins, the 'essence of human cinema'!"
"Cleveland's eternal pride, 'Kitty Hawk' Larry Nance!"
"The top hoop that doesn't look like a dunk is wreaking havoc, 'Flying Pig' Charles Barkley!"
"The greatest player in Bay Area history, 'Scoring Machine' Rick Barry!"
Except for the bursts of boos given to Barkley, the other four judges all received the most sincere and heartfelt cheers from the fans!
The lineup of judges is luxurious like this, no matter what you think, the slam dunk contest will not be ugly!
Now, everyone's expectations have been filled!
So, after a few more words, the MC shouted out the six contestants of the slam dunk contest from the players' tunnel!
Vince Carter! Tracy McGrady! Steve Francis! Jerry Stackhouse! Larry Hughes! Lin Tian!
The six men waved to the fans in turn, but this time there was no such thing as a three-point contest, because the MC knew that it didn't matter anymore.
Now, everyone can't wait!
Slam Dunk Contest, Let's Get Started!
The first to play was Vince Carter! It is also the most promising contestant in this slam dunk contest, with more than 27% of fans believing that Carter can win the championship!
In second place is Lintian's 21%, the third is Francis's 18%, the fourth is Maddie's 15%, and only 10% and 9% of fans think that Stackhouse or Hughes can win the championship.
In fact, it can be seen from the support rate that although Carter is the most optimistic, his lead is really not large!
It's not because he didn't buckle well, but because this year's competition is too fierce!
And as Carter shook his head and walked onto the court while stretching his body, the entire arena fell silent.
Everyone wants to see how this top dunker, who can dunk countless wonderful dunks in actual combat, will perform the first shot.
Carter pursed his lips, first staggered to the basket and measured the distance, then threw the ball and trotted all the way to the three-point line.
O'Neill, who was on the sidelines, had already raised his DV and couldn't wait to start shooting.
45 degrees on the left side, two meters outside the 3-point line, unhurried start, no step adjustment, no cumbersome small steps, even Carter did not fully rush up!
He strode straight to the basket and jumped violently.
Then against the momentum of his own impact, the whole person spun rapidly, a reversal 360-degree turn that violated the common sense of the human body and physics, plus a one-armed windmill!
"Boom!"
