I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 131 Don't Worry, I'll Warm Up First

"Li Ran performed very well. He won the Skills Challenge. This is also the first time a Chinese player has won the honor of the NBA All-Star Game."

Director Zhang excitedly announced the news of the universal celebration to all Huaxia fans in the commentary booth.

"Next, Li Ran will also participate in the three-point shooting contest and the dunk contest. Tomorrow, Li Ran will also participate in the All-Star Game as the top voter. Audience friends, don't go away, the advertisement is back, we continue to look forward to Li Ran's performance Great play."

After a passionate and unintentional commentary, the second highlight of the second day of the All-Star Weekend is about to begin.

A total of six players participated in the three-point shooting contest this year.

Mike Bibby, he averaged 5.4 three-pointers per game this year, and hit 2.1 of them, with a shooting percentage of 39%.

Although the White Devil is old, no one can doubt his accomplishments in three-pointers. In his career, he took 3999 three-pointers and hit 1517 of them. The career average hit rate is 37.9%, which can be called a marksman undoubtedly.

Then there's Pacers top card, elite small forward Danny Granger.

He's hitting 40.4 percent of his 6.7-pointers this year, averaging 2.7 of his [-] attempts per game.

Jason Kapono from the Raptors is even more ruthless.

His speed is not fast, his body is poor, he has no blocks, few steals, rebounds air, defense basically depends on the team, breakthroughs, dunks, secondary offensive ability is ignored, and he relies heavily on the assists of his teammates.

but!

Three-point shooting is the only skill he can gain a foothold in the NBA.

In the 06-07 season, Kapono, who was still in the Heat, made 51.7% of his three-pointers. That season, he averaged 3.1 three-pointers per game and hit 1.6 times.

This year, although Kapono's shooting percentage has declined, it is also as high as 42.8%.

He was also the champion of the three-point shooting contest last year and the year before, and participated again this year, only for the three consecutive championships!

The second master of the Magic, Mr. Billionaire Rashad-Lewis.

The fourth position floating outside is also a well-known three-point shooter in the league. His career 38.6% and his 39.7% shooting this season are enough to illustrate his strength.

Daquin Cook, the No. 21 pick last year, played for the Miami Heat.

Although not well-known, Cook made only 33.6% of his three-pointers in his rookie season. This season, he made a leap to 38.6%. He is considered a very potential 3D player.

However, in the original history, Cook unexpectedly defeated many three-pointers and won the three-pointer champion of the year.

The last contestant, of course, is this year's No. 13 pick, the hopeful star of the league, the combination of Answer and Flash, the all-star vote leader in the rookie season, and the champion of the Shinco Skills Challenge-Li Ran.

Li Ran didn't take many three-pointers this year, averaging less than two per game.

But his three-point shooting percentage is really high and a bit against the sky.

He averaged 1.9 shots per game, hit 1 goal, and his shooting percentage was 52.5%.

Li Ran was able to shoot such a high hit rate, largely because of his excellent shooting environment.

Everyone in the world knows that Li Ran's breakthrough is extremely sharp, which makes Li Ran's defenders often subconsciously leave a lot of space when defending him.

And Li Ran's excellent surreptitious skills can sometimes open up enough space for shots.

Like, after he knocks the defender down?
In this way, almost all of Li Ran's three-pointers were wide-open shots.

Even so, if Li Ran didn't have a strong long-range shooting ability, he wouldn't be able to shoot such an astonishing hit rate.

The unshakable 2000 three-pointers in the system space every day are the best proof.

Speaking of which, Li Ran was already very dissatisfied with his three-point shot ability improving so slowly.

He even believes that there are some problems in the system's ability determination.

His external defense has reached 103, but sometimes it is still very difficult to defend the league's top perimeter stars.

And his three-pointer, obviously already so accurate, has not reached 90.
Coupled with some other unreasonable things, Li Ran felt more and more strange about his own system.

Maybe the only match is his rebounding ability.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Soon, the three-point contest will begin.

The first round is the preliminaries, and the three with the best results will be selected from the six contestants to enter the second round of finals.

Under the eyes of everyone, Rashard Lewis played confidently.

However, sometimes full of confidence does not mean that strength is online.

In the first two points of the shot, Rashad Lewis only scored two goals and scored a poor two points. . .

Fortunately, in the last three shots, Lewis regained his touch in time, and only missed two ordinary shots, and the colored balls were all hits.

Finally, the score of 17 points also shows his strength.

Bibby was next to play.

Bibby's state is not online, only 5 points from 14 points.

This score has almost declared him eliminated.

Of the remaining four people, none of them were good.

At least, viewers and fans think so.

Sure enough, Kapono, the third defending champion, played steadily. Although he lost all five goals at the penultimate point, he still scored 18 points in the end.

There are three people left, as long as someone scores 17 points, Kapono has already entered the finals.

This year's All-Star Weekend, the games on the second day all revealed a strange taste.

Only Li Ran scored 30 seconds in the Skills Challenge.

The same goes for the three-point shootout.

It was originally considered to be a duel between sharpshooters, but after the top five players all played, it became a bit like a chicken pecking at each other.

Without it, Danny Granger and second-year rookie Cook, who played fourth and fifth, all scored 13 dismal results.

Now, Kapono is first with 18 points, Lewis is second with 17 points, then one 14 and two 13s.
This means that as long as Li Ran scores more than 14 points, he can enter the final.

Will Li Ran disappoint everyone?

Li Ran standing in the bottom corner looked very relaxed.

He neither put his hands slightly together on the ball beside him like other players, ready to kick off at any time, nor did he simulate shooting postures to warm up himself.

After all, he'd just shot a full two thousand three-pointers in system space. . .

With a confident smile on his face, the moment the countdown started, Li Ran calmly picked up the basketball at hand and started his performance.

The first point, miss an ordinary ball, 5 points!
The second point, miss two ordinary balls, 4 points!
The third point, which is the top of the arc, hit all, 6 points!
Li Ran scored 15 points after only shooting three points. This result has ensured that he can enter the final.

In the fourth point, Li Ran continued to play steadily, missed the colored ball, and scored all four ordinary balls.

19 points!
At this time, there were still 15 seconds left in the time.

However, at this moment, after casting four points, Li Ran made a move that caused an uproar in the audience!
