Chapter 636+7 Skills Challenge (2-in-1)(1/2)
The next day, Tang Tian, Walker and Irving arrived at Barclays Center together.
All individual events on the second day of the All-Star Game will be held here.
The first event to be played was the shooting star.
Xiao Hua is a reformist. He previously launched the "referee report" and now has carried out drastic reforms to the All-Star.
In yesterday's rookie match, he mixed the first and second grade teams into the world team and the United States team, and so was today's shooting star.
Previous shooting stars were all divided according to the city, and Bosh had previously won two consecutive championships in this event for Miami.
Bosh left Miami this year, and the record was theoretically cut.
However, the league is unique and does not classify it by city, but rather combines players by themselves. As long as they meet the combination of NBA, retired NBA, and wnBA players.
For example, this year's Curry team is composed of Curry and his father Dell Curry, and Wunba's Sue Bird.
This also gave Bosh a new chance. They have already won two consecutive championships in this event and are expected to hit the dynasty.
Because Curry participated in the competition, the attention of the shooting star this year has exceeded the attention. You should know that the most difficult part of the shooting star is the three-pointer in the halftime, and that is exactly what Curry is best at.
Tang Tian and Walker also watched the whole process of the game on the sidelines.
After a competition, Bosh and the others were even better, winning the final championship and achieving an unprecedented three consecutive championships in this event.
I lost the game, but Curry's mentality was really good. He smiled in front of the reporter and said that he would definitely win next year, and joked that it would be more meaningful to end the dynasty.
Tang Tian was also amused off the court. To be honest, Curry is the kind of person who is very fun and still very likable.
And he is also planning to form a team to play next year, and his teammates are all ready-made. If he retires, he will just look for Nash and wnba. That's not Moore.
Well, if you can compete with Curry, you have to start training with a long three-pointer, and you can win three goals in one go.
Just as he made up his mind, Walker had already called him to get up.
After shooting stars, what is going to be followed is the Skills Challenge.
The cheers from the audience also reached a climax.
With a gathering of stars, this is definitely the focus of today.
The game was divided into three rounds, and 8 players were divided into four groups to face off, from the preliminaries to the semi-finals and then to the finals.
The rules of the game are also very simple. The player dribbles the ball from the bottom line on one side through the obstacles and goes to the 45-degree angle on the other side to complete a long-distance pass.
The ball must be passed into the established hole, then dribble back to the half court to make a layup, and finally turn back to another three-point shooting.
The first player to complete the game wins.
The interesting thing about this project is that it is not the faster the previous link is completed, the person will definitely win, because the final goal is to compete for three-point shooting ability.
This is also why Thompson said yesterday that Tang Tian must defeat Curry.
Although Curry often scored three points in actual combat, Thompson knew how strong Tang Tian was on the training ground.
The grouping of 8 people has come out.
Curry vs Westbrook, Walker vs Wall, Irving vs Lillard, Don Tian vs Harden.
The competition has not started yet, but this grouping is already very interesting.
Westbrook has always been dissatisfied with Curry, which is equivalent to his chance.
Walker and Wall, the "two brothers", will really make people confused when they play together.
Both Irving and Lillard are known for possession of the ball, and the latter is also the defending champion, which should be the most intense group.
Tang Tian and Harden are now ranked third and fourth in MVP, which is equivalent to a change in MVP battle.
Each group is full of highlights, and the fans' emotions are also raised.
Curry and Westbrook started first.
The cheers at the scene were completely unstoppable.
Durant was also sitting on the sidelines at this time, cheering for Westbrook.
However, his eyes also stopped on Curry from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Curry had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't care about the outcome of the game, but came with a playful attitude.
In contrast, Westbrook's expression was much more serious, and he obviously wanted to win.
"Who will win?"
Walker's game was in the next group, and he asked Tang Tian with a smile.
This guy had a look of losing interest in the whole world at the party the day before yesterday, but he found his girlfriend and was in a better mood than anyone else.
"Stephen."
Tang Tian actually hoped that Westbrook would win, after all, Westbrook really wanted to win.
But Curry's advantage in three-pointers is too great, unless he performs himself incorrectly, Westbrook will not have many opportunities.
"beep!"
The whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the two of them took the ball and set off at the same time.
In terms of ball control technology, both of them are almost the same, but Curry is not that serious and he is slower around the obstacle than Westbrook.
Westbrook rushed to the pass point quickly, but the first pass was not in.
He was a little anxious.
Curry came late at this time and entered the first pass.
As a result, he was ahead.
Both of them had layups at about the same time.
When he ran forward with the ball, Westbrook's advantage was revealed again.
His straight-line speed is definitely faster than Curry.
He rushed to the frontcourt first and took a three-pointer and shot.
After throwing it out, he looked at the ball with a fiery look.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, his first three-pointer came out of the basket.
Three points are not the part he is good at.
Curry came again late and he took the ball.
"Swish!"
The game ends.
Westbrook didn't have time to throw the second ball.
After Curry scored, he raised his hands and enjoyed the cheers of the fans.
Westbrook's expression was a little frustrated.
Tang Tian stood up at this time to comfort Westbrook and said a few words.
Last year, Westbrook and he called and had a good relationship.
Durant frowned when he saw this scene, walked over and reached out to pull Westbrook over.
This guy is jealous.
When Tang Tian saw this, he shook his head. Durant's measurement was really only a little bit.
Curry advanced first, followed by Walker and Wall.
The two really look similar. If it weren't for the difference in height, it would be easy for non-serious basketball fans to admit their mistakes.
This group is evenly matched. Both of them have strong dribbling and passing balls, and they are not very good at three-pointers.
In the end, Walker was lucky and made the second three-pointer.
In this way, Curry will meet Walker in the semi-finals.
The third group was Irving and Lillard. When they appeared, the cheers on the scene became significantly higher.
Irving's popularity is very high in the United States, and Lillard is the defending champion. The highlights of this group are higher than those of the previous two groups.
Moreover, both of them had serious expressions, and they were both the ones they wanted to win.
The whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the two set out at the same time, passing through the obstacles very quickly, and running side by side.
Passing the ball is also a success.
The layup was also successful, and the two of them rushed to the frontcourt at a fast speed at the same time.
There was a turbulent sound at the scene.
The two of them were faster than both of the previous two groups, and it was indeed a peak duel.
Both of them took the ball almost at the same time.
