Chapter 200 Three-Point Shootout Contest (Part 1)

The second day of the All-Star Weekend is the day with the most events. Shooting Star, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.

However, after ESPN's report came out, this day's three-point contest is definitely the game everyone is most looking forward to.

Durant and Tang Tian, ​​one is the league's second small forward after James, and the other is a rising rookie. This is absolutely full of gimmicks.

The earliest shooting stars started at 10 am, and the arena was already full an hour earlier, and they wished that the time would go faster.

Shooting Star is also a warm-up competition system, basically the ability to shoot three-pointers.

Texas also sent a team to play this time. Rockets rookie Chandler Parsons, who performed well, Rockets star, TNT ace commentator Kenny Smith and WNBA San Antonio Silver Stars Sophia Young teamed up to participate.

Texas made it to the finals, but unfortunately lost to the luxurious New York team.

Kenny Smith was ridiculed to death by Barkley in the commentary, but Parsons' appearance attracted cheers from fans, especially female fans.

There are not many NBA players who play well and look good. Parsons is still white and has countless fans

Immediately after the end of Shooting Star, there will be a Skills Challenge.

Tang Tian also sat in the front row to cheer for his teammate Parker because he was about to participate in the three-point shooting contest.

This season Duncan is further aging, coupled with Ginobili's injury, Parker's status in the Spurs has improved a lot, and his condition is also very good.

In the end, he successfully defeated Westbrook, Rondo, Deron, Owen, Wall and other opponents, and won the championship of the skills challenge.

"It's up to you next."

After the awards ceremony was over, Parker held the trophy in one hand and patted Tang Tian on the shoulder and said.

This time the All-Star Spurs came with two people, and his goal had been achieved, so it was up to Tang Tian.

Although the Spurs have a down-to-earth style of play and low-key players, they won't miss the honor they deserve.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded, he was much more sure than Parker.

The staff began to use the ball for the three-point contest, and the fans at the scene couldn't wait to let out bursts of cheers.

After waiting all morning, the foreplay is enough, and now they can't wait to get down to business.

The attention of the fans is high, and the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the commentary booth have also begun to warm up in advance.

"Kenny, we all know that you are the nephew of 'The Godfather', do you think your uncle can win this battle of focus tonight?"

Barkley was really hurt. He made fun of Smith's loss to the shooting star before, and now he used this to make fun of it again.

"He's the 'Godfather' and he's sure to win."

Kenny Smith replied seriously.

"Then he doesn't have makeup on now."

Barkley reminded.

"That's still a win."

Smith's answer immediately made everyone in the commentary stand amused.

Barkley has a big mouth to talk about everything, and Smith is serious and nonsense. There is a reason why the two can become TNT's trump card and best partner.

"I don't think it matters so much whether Tang wins or not, but Durant must win, or else..."

Miller only spoke half of what he said, but the other three nodded one after another.

Durant's status in the league is incomparable to the current Tang Tian.

Now he is using a trumpet to hate others, and he wants revenge, and the relationship with the endorsement brand, if he loses, he may really not be able to get off the stage.

The on-site staff were almost ready, and the contestants were introduced one by one by the host.

Ryan Anderson, the player Tang Tian and Yi Jianlian regarded as one of the latter's templates in the previous chat, has hit 80 three-pointers this season, second only to Tang Tian.

He is also a member of the Magic team. This time he played at home and received warm cheers from the team when he played.

James Jones was the champion of last year's three-point contest, and he is participating this year as the defending champion.

Although Love's three-pointers and hit rate are not impressive, he is in hot form this season and is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Anthony Morrow is the top three-point shooter. He has made more than 44% of his three-pointers so far in his career. He also scored 8 three-pointers in a single game against the Timberwolves in February.

The remaining two people are the absolute protagonists tonight, Durant and Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's three-point shooting percentage ranked first this season, as high as 50%, and he also made the most three-pointers, reaching 90, averaging 2.8 per game.

With so many shots and so accurate shots, he is definitely the most qualified player to enter the three-point contest this year.

Durant made 38.7% of his three-pointers this season, second only to his second year as a rookie, and averaged 2 hits per game. His performance is also very eye-catching.

Of course, the most important thing is not these data, but because his name is Kevin Durant, the more critical the superstar's performance is, the stronger he is.

Tang Tian and Durant received even more cheers than Anderson when they played, which shows the fans' expectations.

After the introduction of the players, the next step is warm-up and debut.

The order of appearance was decided by the organizing committee by drawing lots. Durant was the first to appear on the stage, and Tang Tian was the last.

This order of appearance whetted the appetite of the fans from the very beginning.

The rules of the three-point contest are very simple. There are five points in total: the left base angle, the left 45-degree angle, the top of the arc, the right 45-degree angle, and the right base angle.

There are five balls per point, four normal balls and one curly ball, one point for a common ball and 2 points for a curly ball.

Check the score within one minute, and the top three scorers will enter the second round of the finals. The rules of the finals are the same as the preliminaries, and the one with the highest score will win the championship.

If the score is the same in the game, there will be a play-off for those involved in the promotion places.

After a short warm-up, both Tang Tian and Durant only took a few symbolic shots.

When the warm-up was over, there was a long whistle on the scene accompanied by cheers from the fans, and the game was about to start.

Durant walked to the bottom corner on the right, reached out and got ready, and the scene was highly anticipated.

Winslow, the vice president of burts.bees, also came to the scene. He was watching the field intently at the moment. No one cared more about the game than him.

"beep!"

With a whistle, Durant started his game.

He uses a tiptoe shot, which saves time and maintains accuracy.

"Shua!"

He felt good after his first shot, going straight into the net.

There was a whistle at the scene.

Durant was full of confidence in the interview yesterday. It seems that he is also fully prepared for this three-point contest.

Winslow was a little nervous at this time.

After being rejected by Durant, he turned to Tang Tian and was strongly recommended by him. If Durant really wins this three-point contest, then he will be under great pressure from the board of directors.

I just came back, I didn’t sleep well last night in bed with me, let me take it easy and go to the second update immediately
