February 18th, the second day of the All-Star Weekend.
At 16 pm, the league will hold the "Shot Star" match first. This competition consists of four teams, each team consisting of three players, including an NBA active player, a retired superstar and a WNBA female player.
There are 6 shooting points in the game, and three people shoot separately. After the previous person makes a shot, the next person can only shoot, and the winner will be determined through one round of the game.
The 6 shooting points are: 45 degrees and 3 meters on the right, 45 degrees and 3 meters on the left, 3-pointers on the top of the lap, 3-pointers on the right, 45 degrees and 3-pointers on the left and 3-pointers on the long distance of the midfield.
The game was divided into two rounds, two teams were eliminated in the first round, and the final winner was decided in the second round, with this year's championship prize of US$35,000.
After half an hour of competition, the team that won the championship was San Antonio. They were composed of retired superstar Steve Cole (Spurs), current stars Tony Parker (Spurs), and Kane de la Wiki (San Antonio Silver Stars). They finally completed the game in just 25.1 seconds, creating the best record in the history of the "Shot Star Game".
"Shot Star Game" can be regarded as the appetizer for the All-Star Game the second day. Everyone usually hasn't turned on the TV at this time, so many people have watched the All-Star Weekend for several years and have never watched what this "Shot Star" game looks like?
After the appetizer is over, at 18 pm, the All-Star Individual Project "Skills Challenge" will open.
Fans are much more familiar with this game. Every year, the players participating in the game are the top point guards in the league. There are stars and highlights.
The content of the "Skills Challenge" consists of obstacle dribbling, passing and shooting. The game consists of four players in two rounds of competition. The two with the shortest time in the first round enter the finals and then decide the final champion.
Participants in this event include the defending champions, Dwyane Wade (2006, 2007 champion), hosts, Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets, Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets (2003 champion) and Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz.
The first to play in the preliminary round was the Jazz's Deron Williams. His speed was average, but his efficiency was good. He passed the score smoothly with one to two attempts in all events. In the end, Deron Williams completed the game in 31.2 seconds.
The second one to appear was Kidd from the Nets. He was the champion of the 2003 Skill Challenge Championship. The old demon did a very outstanding job in the passing stage, and passed all the passes in one pass. But his mid-range shot was really bad. He missed all five consecutive shots in the top jump shot. The "bang bang bang bang bang bang bang" sounded that the stars watching the fun on the field laughed and leaned back. The little fox laughed so hard that tears were almost flowing out. Kidd's shooting ability was really painful!
Kidd delayed too much time on his shooting and finally took 40.7 seconds to complete the game.
The third one to appear was host Chris Paul. The little fox started cursing Xiao Zhengtai again, hoping that Paul would make a fool of himself six times. It would be a great pleasure!
Unfortunately, his curse was not fulfilled. The host was cheering from the fans of the court. He hit a jump shot at the top of the circle with one attempt. His movement rate was quite fast. The success rate in passing was also extremely high. In the end, he completed the game with 29.9 seconds. Even Wade, who had waited for the game, couldn't help but applaud the Hornets core.
The last player to play in the preliminary round was Dwyane Wade of the Heat. He probably had a long look in his face. As the saying goes, he was struck by lightning. The Flash lost the ball when he was bypassing the obstacle, which made the big bowlers on the sidelines laugh.
After that, the big cheeks on the top jump shot of the circle were also missed in a row, which caused him to be a little discouraged in the final part of the game. In the end, he made a layup three times before he hit it. Many people suspected that he was here to make a funny shot, and the little fox directly sprayed Yao Ming's face.
In the end, Wade's results were quite bad. He actually took 53.9 seconds to complete the game, setting the worst record in history.
The results of the game came out, Chris Paul and Deron Williams entered the finals of this year's "Skills Challenge".
Ji Guomomiya touched the bag that was beaten out by Yao Ming on his head and shouted to the fat man: "Come on Delong, I bought you 50,000 yuan to win!"
The little fat man looked at Ji Guomeng strangely. Although he didn't know why the dead fox looked down on him so much? But since he gave him such a face, the little fat man was very happy and gave Ji Guomeng a thumbs up and responded.
The first to play in the final was Deron Williams. I don’t know if he received encouragement from the Foxes, his first layup ended with a dunk, and he made a good start. The top jump shot of the arc also passed the level. The Jazz’s main point guard obviously accelerated the rate in the final. This was what he learned throughout his life to compete with Paul. Moreover, the fat guy’s speed was so fast, but his success rate was quite good.
Finally, Deron Williams achieved an excellent result of 25.5 seconds.
After completing the game, Deron Williams seemed very happy amid the cheers of the fans of the audience. Nash set the fastest record of 25.8 seconds in 2005, and the little fat man's result had broken Nash's fastest record, which undoubtedly put pressure on Chris Paul!
That's right, facing Deron's abnormal result of 25.5 seconds, although he was the host and the audience cheered on the live audience, Chris Paul's performance was average and he had to speed up the rate, but this required him not to make mistakes at all. However, under the tremendous pressure and difficulty, he still made a mistake in the passing stage and finally completed the game in 30.2 seconds.
At the end of the game, you can see why Deron is called Kidd's successor. In terms of passing accuracy, only the old demon and the little fat man did not make a mistake in the passing process in this game. Paul is strong in creativity, ball control and basketball IQ, and his passing accuracy is not as accurate as Kidd, Nash and Deron.
The final result of the "Skills Challenge" was that Deron Williams beat Chris Paul, who was also a rookie in 2005, and won the Skills Challenge for the first time.
Ji Guomeng smiled. Before the game started, the stars around him heard that he had bought 50,000 yuan Deron Williams. He quickly looked at the odds of the fat man. The Dead Fox made at least 100,000 US dollars, which is no longer a small amount.
In fact, not only did Ji Guohuo buy 50,000, but Panda brother also bought 50,000 US dollars to win. The two of them are uncertain about the history of the original development, but they know that the chance of buying Deron Williams winning will undoubtedly be greater.
On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, after the "Skills Challenge", the highly anticipated "Three-point Contest" will be held.
Before the three-point competition began, the espn reporter interviewed Ji Guomeng, who participated in the three-point competition, and asked the little fox: "Fox, do you know? You are about to set another record. No one has ever participated in three consecutive events in an All-Star Game in history."
Ji Guomeng shrugged: "Yes, I know, most people don't get this kind of opportunity. I think it's just something the players have not done before. My brother and I have the ability to participate in all the games, so I thought, 'Why not go to these games and be the first to do this?'"
espn reporter continued to ask: "After the list of participants was announced, many fans thought you should use the All-Star weekend time to rest. Instead of participating in so many games."
Ji Guomeng explained: "The three-point competition only takes me two minutes on the court. My brother's dunk competition may take 3-4 minutes. These games are not as long as the rookie challenge. These three games may only take me about an hour."
"The last question, which All-Star project do you like the most?"
Ji Guomo, facing the last question from the reporter, replied with a smile: "I look forward to the "Three-point Contest" the most, this is a game I have always wanted to participate in. You know my three-point shooting percentage, I am a natural sharpshooter. But that giant panda will surprise the fans in the slam dunk contest. Many of them really don't know that the two of us will dunk. In fact, my dunk is also very good. The giant panda is stronger than me, you can see it in a while."
The interview with the Fox Brother made many female fans at the scene scream, and they were even more looking forward to the "Three-point Contest" and "Slam Dunk Contest" later.
The "Three-Point Competition" is one of the individual competition events of the NBA All-Star Weekend. The rules are relatively simple. There is a shooting point at the top of the three-point line, and a shooting point on both sides and a 45-degree angle on both sides form five three-point shooting locations. Each player needs to complete five shooting points within one minute of the specified time.
Each shooting point requires five balls to be shot, of which the first four are ordinary balls, with one point being calculated, and the fifth is a suit performance ball, with two points being invested.
Under normal circumstances, the game is divided into two rounds, each player has a chance. The top three players in the first round enter the finals. The second round is the same as the first round. If there is a similar score in the final, a game will be added until the ranking is obtained.
The NBA three-point competition originated in 1986. There are only two players in history who have won three consecutive championships, namely Larry Bird and Craig Hodge. There are three other players who have won two championships, namely Horner Sek, Mark Price, and Peja Stojakovic.
Defending champion Jason Ka Bono is expected to become the fourth player to win two consecutive three-pointers, but his opponents are not ordinary people. The six people participating in the three-pointers this year are: Jason Capono, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Peja Stoyakovic, Richard Hamilton, and Ji Guomo.
These six contestants, Peja Stoyakovic, have won two three-pointers championships, Dirk Nowitzki once, Jason Capono once, plus Steve Nash, who has beaten the 3-pointers in the past two seasons, and active central mid-range shots, Richard Hamilton, and Ji Guomo, the only Chinese player in the NBA history to participate in the three-point contest. None of these six people is not a good player.
Before the game started, the odds on the periphery were the most optimistic about Peja Stoyakovic and Steve Nash, followed by defending champions Jason Capono and De Knowski. Poor Hamilton and Ji Guomother were the least favored. One of them was good at mid-range shots, and the other was too young and not stable enough.
"Come on, little fox, I bought you 10,000 yuan to win, and if you win, I can earn 50,000 US dollars." Yao Ming took the initiative to cheer for Ji Guomo before the game started, but this guy was not pure in his heart.
Ji Guochou smiled and said, "I bought 50,000 yuan, and Christine also bought 10,000 US dollars. Don't lose!"
Nash scratched his head: "I bought myself $20,000, so you'd better lose."
The three of them stretched out their middle fingers together, and Stoudemire murmured in his heart: "I also bought Peja Stoyakovic for 50,000 US dollars, Steve, you should be eliminated!"
Nash did not expect that even his teammates betrayed him behind his back, so Nash, who was the first to play, decisively suffered a tragedy. As a superstar like MVP, he actually scored such a pitiful result of 9 points in the preliminary round, which can only be attributed to the curse of everyone outside the court fulfilling.
Dirk Nowitzki, the second player to play, is not much better than his old teammates. Nash, who is recognized as a pervert in three-pointers this year, actually scored only 9 points, which is not much better than Jordan's worst score in history, which is like Jordan's only 5 points in the competition. So the German chariot also decisively cheated, and in the end he failed to complete the game on time and only scored a bad result of 11 points.
First of all, the two superstars who played suffered Waterloo one after another, which made Kobe laugh very happily. Originally, Black Mamba should be the biggest superstar among the six participating players, but his finger was accidentally injured and gave him the quota to Nowitzki. At this time, Pan had to gloat when he saw others unlucky. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
