With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 27 All-Star Three-Point Contest

On February 2006, 2, the NBA All-Star Weekend was officially held at the Houston Toyota Center, home of the Rockets.

As the host, Yao and McGrady, the two stars of the Rockets, have high exposure and attention. For the first time in his career, Yao became the NBA All-Star vote leader. Nate, Duncan and many other superstars.

But all this has nothing to do with Wang Chao.

Wang Chao, who has watched the 06 All-Star video many times, is not interested in the details of the process of the All-Star Weekend. He didn’t even watch the Rookie Challenge on the first day of the All-Star, although he is technically a second-year rookie now. .

Fast-forward to the next day, the solo events.

It has to be mentioned that many league superstars could still be invited to participate in the early All-Star single-player events, just like the first single-player skill challenge. The contestants included Nash, James, Wade, and Paul four future Hall of Famers.

Nash and Paul, who were hot for the championship, were eliminated in the preliminaries, and the finals became a brotherly battle between James and Wade. In the end, Wade won and won the championship trophy of the Skills Challenge.

Nash, who returned to the field after the competition, took the initiative to pat Wang Chao on the shoulder. "Don't be nervous for a while, just treat it as if you are here to play, relax, and bring out your best state."

It can be seen that Nash didn't have any special feelings about the loss of the Skills Challenge, or that Nash participated in the Skills Challenge just for fun, and he was not serious at all.

After all, as a top superstar in the league who already holds the MVP of the regular season, he naturally doesn't care about such insignificant awards in the Skills Challenge.

"Ok."

Wang Chao nodded slightly. He knew that Nash was worried that he would be too nervous to perform properly.

For Nash, these small awards are useless, but for Wang Chao, the championship of the three-point contest is really important.

……

A few minutes later, the stage for the three-point contest was set up.

The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and the live DJ introduced the six participating players to the cheers of the fans.

"First, 6-foot-3, 191-pound Gilburd Arenas from the Washington Wizards!"

The spotlight was on Arenas, and Arenas, who was wearing the No. 0 Wizards jersey, smiled and waved to the surroundings.

"Following that, Ray Allen, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from the Seattle SuperSonics!"

The order in which the DJs reported their names was related to the order in which the participating players played. Wang Chao happened to be the third, so next.

"This player is from the Phoenix Suns. He is 6 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 216 pounds. He has a very wonderful three-pointer performance recently-Wang Chao!"

The spotlight shone on Wang Chao, shaking him so much that he couldn't see the surrounding stands clearly, but he still kept a stiff smile and waved towards the stands.

Fortunately, the audience's cheers and applause continued, and he didn't feel cold because he was a nobody compared to Arenas and Ray Allen.

This is also related to Wang Chao having the same skin color as Dayao and coming from the same country.

This is the home court of the Rockets. Although the All-Star Weekend attracted a large number of fans, there are obviously more fans in Houston. Whether they know Wang Chao or not, just being as responsible as Dayao is enough They have unconditionally supported and cheered.

……

Next, DJ introduced Nowitzki, Terry and Billups one after another, and then the three-point contest officially began.

The other players left the field first, and Arenas, who was the first to appear in the preliminaries, stayed on the field for the first round of shooting.

Arenas' three-pointer, the most impressive thing for most fans is the back view of turning around in advance to celebrate.

As a guard, Arenas' three-point shooting percentage in his career is actually not high, only a little over 35%, but the attributes of the nerve knife make him scary in some cases.

But obviously, in today's three-point contest, his nerve knife attribute has not awakened.

After a round of five shots, Arenas scored 14 points.

In the three-point contest in 06, there were still only five bottom balls in the suit. In fact, 14 points is not a particularly low score, but it is definitely not high.

Ray Allen, who followed the second appearance, immediately proved this point.

Ray Allen, who seemed to feel very hot, scored 21 points after a round of shooting.

"It's my time..."

Watching Ray Allen, who had basically sealed his place in the final after scoring a high score, wave to the fans in the stands, Wang Chao took a deep breath and stood up from his seat.

In terms of three-point shooting ability alone, Wang Chao should be higher than Ray Allen, because in his impression, Ray Allen in the 2K series was at his peak, and the three-point shooting did not get a full value of 99. It seems that Has been hovering at 97.

Wang Chao can't remember the exact number of the peak Ray Allen, but he is very sure that in the entire 2K series, the only one who has reached 99 three-pointers is Stephen Curry.

Of course, on the field, the three-point ability value does not represent everything. There are many factors that affect a player's three-point shooting rate, such as offensive awareness, stability, and anti-interference abilities are very important.

These spiritual attributes of Wang Chao are generally not high, with an average of only about 40, so he will not appear so stable on the field.

But if it is a simple three-point shooting similar to that in training, without defensive players, then the basic value of the three-point shooting ability is obviously more critical.

……

Standing at the first shooting point, Wang Chao paused to get ready, and then slightly raised his hand to signal.

The countdown starts.

Wang Chao immediately picked up the basketball on the rack and shot towards the basket.

"Ok?"

Ray Allen, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Although Wang Chao's name has become somewhat well-known in the league recently, he really didn't pay much attention to it before.

Wang Chao's unique shooting movements immediately caught his attention.

"This guy has some skills."

"Shua-shua-shua-!"

Continuously hollow into the net, Wang Chao hit all five goals from the three-point position at the bottom corner at the first shooting point.

6 points.

When he came to the second shooting point, Wang Chao missed the first two consecutive shots, but he did not panic. He immediately adjusted his state and steadily made the next three shots.

9 points.

When the shooting point came to the top arc, Wang Chao made 5 of 4 shots and missed the last two-point suit ball.

His score has come to 13 points.

Wang Chao's extremely high shooting percentage has successfully attracted everyone's attention.

He has scored 13 points at the end of the three shooting points, and there are still 2 shooting points left for a total of 12 points. How many points can he get in the end?Is there any chance to surpass Ray Allen's 21 points?
