Chapter 187 I am the justifiable three-point king! (5000 words)
The next day, the All-Star teams from the East and West practiced. This was just for show. Who would really do it on the All-Star Weekend?
Zhang Yu was a little excited. He followed Curry into the training hall. He seemed to have forgotten his identity. He really became a fan. He signed all the All-Star players from the East and West. He was as happy as a fool. .

Of course, those players who were asked to sign would not refuse Zhang Yu's request for the ball, but they just felt dumbfounded.

You are a veritable boss, but do you want to sign it in person?It's not that we haven't played against the Warriors. If you say a word, can we not give it?

Zhang Yu doesn't care so much, he is immersed in the joy of collecting signed jerseys and cannot extricate himself.

After the training of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams, there is a single-event competition, which is also the most boring time of the All-Star Weekend.

The three-point contest and the skill contest didn't get much attention, and the slam dunk contest, which was supposed to be exciting, couldn't arouse the enthusiasm of fans for a long time.

The first is the Skills Challenge. Participants include Nash, Curry, Westbrook, Rose and Deron Williams. Three generations of point guards, old, middle and young, gathered together.

In the preliminaries, Westbrook played first, but with his control skills and shooting, he was obviously here to make up the numbers. It took a full 44.1 seconds to complete all the items.

Defending champion Rose played second. Although he is a talented defender with strong impact like Westbrook, his movement and control skills are much better than Westbrook, but he missed three three-pointers. He only made the second shot, greatly reducing his speed, and finally completed the preliminaries in 40.1 seconds.

This result is very average, and Rose should be out.

The third player to play is Curry. He made a small mistake in passing the ball, but relying on his fine and fast shooting, Curry completed all the items in 34.6 seconds. If there is no accident, this result is enough for him to enter It's the final.

Then came Nash and Deron Williams. Nash won a skills competition in 2005. He obviously came to play today. Seconds completed the preliminaries.

Now the pressure is all on Deron Williams' side, and his psychological quality obviously needs to be improved. Under the huge pressure, he made a mistake in passing and shooting, and it took a full 38.6 Seconds, missed the final.

The more than [-] fans in the Cowboys Stadium began to cheer. Nash and Curry are both extremely popular point guards in the United States. Long shot claim to fame, both are synonymous with offensive linebackers despite the vast age difference.

Many people think that Curry is the successor of Nash. The two play differently, but they are the core point guards in the running and bombing team. D'Antoni has expressed his appreciation for Curry more than once, especially after seeing Curry's performance. After being so good, D'Antoni revealed in front of the media many times that he regretted missing Curry.

The regular season matches between the two also have their own winners and losers, which is also mixed with the influence of various factors such as the schedule. It is difficult to tell who is stronger. Tonight, Nash and Curry will finally usher in a 1vs1 head-on confrontation. Fans are looking forward to it.

It was Curry who played first. He came to the starting point chewing on his braces, shook his arms, waited for the referee to whistle, and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Curry did not make any mistakes, and almost completed all the projects perfectly. He dribbled the ball smoothly, passed the ball steadily, and shot as fast and accurate as ever. He completed the final in 30.1 seconds. The only fly in the ointment was , In order not to make mistakes when passing the ball, he slowed down his rhythm a bit, otherwise his speed could be even faster.

After Curry, it is Nash. After all, the popularity of Zonda is not comparable to that of Curry. As soon as Nash appeared on the stage, he won the cheers of the fans. As one of the most gorgeous point guards in the league, Nash is not only The hero of Phoenix has many fans in the United States and even the world.

He smiled charmingly and waved his hands around, as if he wasn't here for a game, but for a vacation.

"Di-"

After the referee blew the whistle, Nash started his own performance. He dribbled the ball across the half court lightly, made a pick and hit a basket, then picked up the basketball on the shelf, and walked around the obstacle like a stroll, giving people the feeling of blowing past There was a gentle wind.

After bypassing the obstacle, Nash just glanced at the net at random, and threw the ball in accurately, then picked up a basketball from the shelf next to him, flicked his wrist, and the basketball bounced off the ground as if alive. Fall into another nest.

The jump shots and long passes were even more difficult for Nash. Throughout the finals, his expression was calm and composed, as if he was participating in a daily training, rather than competing for the championship of a skill competition under the eyes of everyone.

With his long shot hit, the referee whistled, Nash completed the final with a time of 28.4 seconds and won the championship of the 2010 All-Star Skills Challenge Competition!

Curry took the lead in applauding off the court. Although he did not win the championship, the runner-up result was also very good. From the moment Nash stepped on the court, he knew that this championship was destined not to belong to him.

Nash's movement and control skills have been perfected, and his mentality is still extremely relaxed. Tonight he has reached his peak state. No matter who comes to compete with him, he will not be able to take away this championship. 28.4 seconds is far from his limit. It was 28.4 seconds, just because 28.4 seconds was enough for him to win the championship.

In other words, Nash didn't care about the championship at all, but the super point guard's sensitivity to rhythm made him subconsciously finish the game at a faster pace than Curry.

Curry is convinced that Nash won the championship, and he was also inspired by Nash's performance. As a model worker for the All-Star Weekend, he can't go home empty-handed, right?That's too embarrassing!

He took a deep breath and said to Zhang Yu beside him:
"Boss, wait and see my performance!"

"Okay, I will cheer for you!" Zhang Yu laughed.

After the skill contest, there will be a three-point contest.

……

There are three competitions in one night, and the time is very tight. After the skills competition is over, the staff quickly removed the props of the skills competition, lifted up basketball hoops, and placed them in five positions outside the three-point line for the three-point competition. Get ready.

The rules of the three-point contest are very simple. There are five shooting points in total, five balls for each shooting point, and four orange balls. One point is scored for one point, and one ball is scored for two points. The total score is 1 points. , each player has 30 minute, and the player with the most points wins.

The whole game is divided into preliminaries and finals. The top three in the preliminaries enter the finals. If there is a tie in the preliminaries, there will be a 24-second extra match. If there is a tie in the final, there will be a 60-second extra match.

There are more participants in the three-point contest than in the skill contest. There are Curry, Billups, Channing Frye, Pierce, and Gallinari's defending champion Dai Quinn Cook.

Needless to say, Pierce and Billups, as well-known stars and both FMVP winners, both have precise three-pointers and are well-known shooters.

Channing Frye and Gallinari are also recognized high fortresses. As space-type insiders, shooting is the foundation of their foothold in this league, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Although Dae Quinn Cook is only a role player, as Wade's substitute, he has a good mid-range and long-range shooting ability, so there is no doubt about his determination to defend the title.

Of course, the most eye-catching and most favored by the outside world in this three-point contest has to be Curry.

Although this is only Curry's first season, in 51 games before the All-Star, he was able to shoot 43.6% from the field, averaged 4.1 three-pointers per game, the total number of three-pointers made, and the average number of three-pointers per game. The number ranks first in the league, and it is far behind No.2, which can be called Dugu Qiubai.

You know, the record for the number of three-pointers made in a single season in NBA history is Ray Allen's 2005 in the 2006-269 season, and just halfway through the schedule, Curry has already made 209 three-pointers!

According to this trend, as long as there are no accidents, Curry will definitely be able to score 300 three-pointers this season, breaking Ray Allen's record in one fell swoop. He will also be the first person to hit 300 three-pointers in a single season , which is an unprecedented feat.

In the face of Curry's crazy performance, some people have begun to claim that Curry will be the number one shooter in the NBA, but more people still hold a wait-and-see attitude. Who knows if this baby face is in a good state for the time being, so he can score more three-pointers , Maybe he will show his true colors next season.

In their view, the height, arm length, jumping speed, and confrontational strength are talents, and shooting can't explain anything.

But no matter whether the outside world is optimistic about Curry's future, based on the three-point shooting rate and production, people still have a consensus on this three-point contest, that is, Curry has the greatest hope of winning.

This expectation was reflected in the appearance. When the live DJ introduced Curry, there were enthusiastic cheers in the Cowboys Stadium. People seemed to be looking forward to the crowning of the new three-pointer.

And Curry is a person who likes big scenes. The grander the scene, the more critical the moment, the more it can stimulate Curry's desire to express. He waved his hands excitedly and jumped twice on the spot , A feeling of can't wait rose in my heart.

He wants to compete, he wants to shoot three-pointers, and he wants to win the championship!
Since there was still a slam dunk contest later, the fans didn't have to wait too long, and the three-point contest started soon, and Pierce was the first to play.

CCTV is in charge of broadcasting the commentary of this All-Star Game is Yang Jian and Xu Jicheng. Pierce started shooting. The two are still talking about the anecdotes of Kobe, Damon Jones and other NBA stars warming up before the event when Pierce After casting three points, the two of them turned their attention to him.

This is a true portrayal of Pierce's popularity. Although he has an FMVP, his popularity is far less than that of Kobe, who faced him in the finals, and even compared with Garnett in the team.

Pierce chose to start from the left bottom corner, which is also the most mainstream start, but Pierce's touch was a little slow, and he only scored 5 points in the first two points. Fortunately, he found the feeling from the third point and hit again and again. Finally got 17 points.

Pierce shook his head again and again when he left the field. This is an unsafe score, and he is ready to be eliminated.

The second one was Billups. He chose the right bottom corner to start shooting, and he scored four goals in a row, but unfortunately, he lacked stamina, and he only made two balls in total, just like Pierce. Only got 17 points.

And the third player to play is Curry.

The big screen in mid-air began to play highlights of Curry's three-pointers. Among them, of course, he faced Bynum, lore the Lakers, and broke the record at the same time.

Xu Jicheng said meaningfully:

"From the establishment of the three-point contest on the All-Star Weekend in 1985, Bird won three championships in 85, 86, and 87. He was the three-point king in the 80s. The phrase "Are you all here to fight for second?" "It was left over from this period, followed by Hawkins of the Bulls. Other than that, no one has won three three-point contests. Today is Curry's first three-point contest. I don't know if he will What kind of performance do you have?"

Yang Jian laughed and said:

"Let me tell the audience friends that Curry is the person who averaged the most three-pointers per game this season. He has scored 209 three-pointers. It is just around the corner to break Ray Allen's single-season three-pointer record. The player with the highest calls to win the three-point contest."

Soon, Curry stood on the court. Like Pierce, he chose to start from the left corner.

"Di-"

After the referee's whistle, Curry quickly threw the first ball.

brush!
The basketball went into the net, and Zhang Yu watched nervously from the sidelines, clenched his fists, and prayed for Curry in his heart.

It may be that his sincerity played a role. Curry hit four goals in a row, which caused the fans on the scene to exclaim, but he immediately missed the fifth goal, and there was another huge sigh in the Cowboys Stadium.

Curry's shot speed was very fast, the first 3 points were made overnight, and 4 goals were scored in each point, with a high hit rate, but unfortunately, all 3 flower balls were missed.

Then Curry came to a 45-degree angle on the right. This time he hit a flower ball, but only one of the first four orange balls was shot, but he finally recovered his touch in the bottom right corner, 1 He scored a total of 5 points in the ball, ranking first temporarily.

When Curry hit the last bouquet, there was a huge cheer in the Cowboys Stadium. They were all three-pointers, but Curry's three-pointers seemed to have a magical power that could pull people's hearts. Pierce and Billy Lupus' shots don't have that effect.

Zhang Yu clearly heard the conversations of the audience behind him:
"Steph Curry is incredible, he scored 21 points, which is enough to win the championship!"

"Yeah? But I feel like he's kinda hard... Somehow, I think every pitch he throws should go in, and whenever he misses, I get this unbelievable feeling—wow Oh, so you can miss shots too? Are you too determined? At the last look, he actually scored 21 points!"

"Yeah, man, I feel the same way, honestly, I'd spend a day watching him shoot [-]s!"

Zhang Yu smiled, and the camera happened to be on him at this time. He imitated Garnett and Anthony just now, stood up and applauded Curry, and Butler and Matthews next to him followed suit and stood up. Shouted a few words.

Every player participating in the game has a "family and friends group" to help out. The three of them are Curry's relatives and friends group, responsible for cheering him on.

After Curry was Gallinari, the Italian shooter only scored 15 points, Channing Frye was a little better, but only had 16 points. In the finale, Dae Quinn Cook played abnormally and only scored 15 points. The three were out of the game. , Curry, Pierce and Billups entered the finals.

Pierce was the first to play. He changed his slow start in the preliminaries and played very steadily. Although he missed 1 or 2 orange balls at each point, he hit all the flower balls and scored a total of 20 points.

When he was off the court, Garnett shouted excitedly:
"Paul, you are the best!"

Yang Jian also sighed:
"Pierce deserves to have a big heart. His balls are the same as the ones that broke the Lakers' defense in the finals when they played against the Lakers in 08."

Xu Jicheng added:

"The goals he scored were critical. He didn't score for a few rounds. When he needed to make a shot, he could really score. This is the true quality of a killer."

After Pierce is Billups, the only 5 FMVP point guards in history. He felt terrible in this round of finals, scoring only 14 points and missing the championship.

After the vote, Billups himself showed an embarrassed smile. The camera showed his teammate Anthony who was cheering for him on the sidelines. With a mocking smile on Melon's face, he said loudly:
"Chauncey, why don't you let me play!"

Billups came over and hammered him, and the two had a laughing and joking fight.

The last one to play was naturally Curry who had the highest score in the preliminaries. Before he played, Zhang Yu said:

"Stephen, come on, don't forget what I said before, you are the best shooter, bar none!"

Curry nodded heavily, and when he came to the court, he still started from the left corner.

Xu Jicheng raised his voice slightly:
"Okay, Curry is on the court. Let's see his performance. The one who cheered him up just now is the Warriors owner and head coach Zhang Yu. He is the only Chinese head coach in the NBA, and he is also the youngest head coach. I believe many fans We all know his legendary story, so I won’t introduce more.”

"Di-"

"Okay, Curry made the first shot...hit! The second, third, fourth...the flower ball also hit, and Curry made all the shots on the first point and scored 6 points!" Yang Jian said loudly.

Xu Jicheng took the words:

"Look at his 45 degrees... second, no, third, no, fourth... got it! Curry made two shots, but the flower ball went in, look at his arc Top performance... not bad, made three shots, but unfortunately missed the flower ball, he is Bynum who made the lore at this point."

"Ms. Xu is right, but Curry's most accurate point is the 45-degree angle on the right side. This season, his three-point shooting percentage in this area is a terrible 47.6%! How many shots can he make this time? Well... one, two, three, four, five, all in! Curry is crazy!" Yang Jian said loudly, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The Cowboys Stadium was also boiling because of Curry's three-pointer. When he came to the right corner, the fans in the audience began to shout in unison with every ball he made:
"One! Two! Three... oh, no... Three! Four! Yeah——!!!"

At the last point, Curry scored 4 three-pointers in a neat and huge rising wave. When he made the last flower ball, more than [-] people at the scene erupted for a while, enough to blow the roof to the ground. The overturning cry!

Yang Jian praised:
"Stephen Curry showed his superb shooting skills, he scored 23 points in the final, overwhelmed Pierce, and won the 2010 All-Star Three-Point Contest!
Amidst the roar of mountains and tsunami, Curry came to Zhang Yu's side, hugged him, and laughed loudly:
"Boss, I won, I am the champion of the three-point contest, and I am the legitimate three-point king!"
