Chapter 201 Three-pointer contest
The second day of the All-Star Weekend is the day with the most events, including the shooting star, the skills challenge, the three-point competition and the dunk competition, and the four events made the fans on the scene enjoy the pleasure.
However, after ESPN's report came out, the three-point competition on this day was definitely the game that everyone was most looking forward to.
Durant and Tang Tian, one is the second small forward in the league after James, and the other is a strong rookie, which is absolutely gimmick.
The first shooting star was 10 a.m., and the stadium was full of seats an hour in advance. They wanted to go faster.
The shooting star is also a preheating match system, basically the ability to make three-pointers farther than the super long.
Texas also sent teams to play this time. Rockets rookie Chandler Parsons, Rockets celebrity, TNT ace commentator Kenny Smith and WNBA San Antonio Silver Star team Sophia Young team teamed up to participate.
Texas reached the final, but unfortunately lost to the luxurious New York team.
Kenny Smith was teased to death by Barkley in the commentator's seat, but Parsons' appearance attracted cheers from fans, especially female fans.
Not many NBA players play well and look good, Parsons is still a white man, attracting countless fans
The shooting star ends immediately after the Skills Challenge.
Because Tang Tian was about to participate in the subsequent three-point competition, he also sat in the front row to cheer for his teammate Parker.
Duncan has grown a little further this season, and Ginobili is injured, 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, Irving, Wall and other opponents, and won the championship of the Skills Challenge.
"Let's see you next."
After the award ceremony, Parker said, holding the trophy in one hand and patting Tang Tian on the shoulder with the other.
This time, two people came to the All-Star Spurs. His goal has been achieved, and it depends on Tang Tian’s next.
Although the Spurs have a simple and low-key game, they won't get less honors.
Tang Tian nodded with a smile, his confidence was much greater than Parker.
The staff started to use the ball in the three-point competition, and the fans on the scene couldn't wait to cheer.
After waiting all morning, the foreplay was done enough, and now they can't wait to get to the point.
The fans are paying great attention, and the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the commentary seat have also begun to warm up in advance.
"Kenny, we all know you are the nephew of the Godfather. Do you think your uncle can win this focus battle tonight?"
Barkley really lost. He made fun of Smith's loss to the shooting star, and now he has made fun of this again.
“He is the 'godfather' and he will definitely win.”
Kenny Smith replied seriously.
"Then he has no makeup on now."
Barkley reminded.
"That's still a win."
Smith's answer immediately made all the people in the commentary seat laugh.
Barkley spoke with a big mouth and Smith was talking nonsense. There was a reason why the two were able to become TNT ace and best partner.
"I don't think it's that big of a deal if Don wins or not, but Durant must win, otherwise..."
Miller was only half of his words, but the other three nodded one after another.
Durant's status in the league is incomparable to Tang Tian now.
Now I am using a small account to attack others, and I want to take revenge again. I also have the relationship with the endorsement brand. If I lose, I may really not be able to get out of Taiwan.
The staff on the scene have almost prepared, and the contestants have been introduced one by one by the host.
Ryan Anderson, the player who previously chatted with Yi Jianlian, as one of the latter templates, 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, he was cheered by the team when he appeared.
James Jones was the champion of last year's three-point contest, and he participated as the defending champion this year.
Although Love's three-point shooting numbers and shooting percentage are not impressive, he is in a hot state this season and is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
Anthony Morrow is the top three-point shooter, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 44% in his career. He also played 8 three-pointers in a single game against the Timberwolves in February.
The remaining two are the absolute protagonists tonight, Durant and Tang Tian.
Tang Tian ranked first in three-point shooting percentage this season, up to 50%, and also scored the most three-pointers, reaching 90, and averaged 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 has scored 38.7% of three-pointers this season, second only to the rookie in the second year, and has averaged 2 shots per game, which is also very eye-catching.
Of course, the most important thing is not these data, but because his name is Kevin Durant, the stronger the superstar performs in the more critical the game.
Tang Tian and Durant received even more cheers when they appeared than Anderson, which shows how much fans expect.
After the players were introduced, they were warmed up and debuted.
The order of appearance was decided by the organizing committee draws lots. Durant is the first to make the appearance, and Tang Tian is the last finale.
This order of appearances has greatly aroused the fans' appetite from the beginning.
The rules of the three-point competition are very simple, with a total of five points on the left bottom corner, a 45-degree angle on the left side, a top of the arc, a 45-degree angle on the right side, and a total of five points on the right bottom corner.
Each point has five balls, four ordinary balls and a flower ball. If you hit a normal ball, you will get 1 point and 2 points for a flower ball.
Look at the score within one minute. The top three scorers enter the second round finals. The rules of the finals are the same as those in the preliminaries. The one with the highest scores wins the championship.
If the scores are the same in the game, the playoffs will be held if the promotion quota is involved.
After a brief warm-up, Tang Tian and Durant both just symbolically made a few goals.
When the warm-up ended, a long whistle at the scene was accompanied by the cheers of fans, and the game was about to begin.
Durant walked to the bottom corner on the right and reached out to prepare. The scene was full of attention.
Winslow, vice president of burns.bees, also came to the scene. He looked at the field in a hurry. No one cared more about the game than him.
"beep!"
With a whistle, Durant started his game.
He uses the shooting method of tiptoe, which saves time and maintains accuracy.
"Swish!"
After his first shot, he felt very good and he went into the net with a hollow.
There was a whistle at the scene.
Durant was overwhelmed in an interview yesterday. It seems that he has made sufficient preparations for this three-point competition.
Winslow was a little nervous at this time.
Chapter completed!
