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

Chapter 92 The system also engages in community warmth activities?
(Second update, the number of words is a little less, and the Chinese New Year code word environment is a bit noisy. Happy New Year everyone.)
The first day of the All-Stars is the Rookie Challenge, a group of rookies in the first and second grades are sweating on the field.

To be honest, except for the fans of the home team with potential stars, not many people care about the results of the Rookie Challenge. The attention of this competition has not been high. In the future, it will go through many reforms and try to introduce new ones, but the effect is not very good Sample.

Because Wang Chao was too good in his rookie period, he didn't even qualify for the Rookie Challenge. Who would have thought that he, who had just finished his rookie career, was actually selected for the All-Star Game. The best rookie in 04 would also That is, the No. [-] pick Dwight Howard was selected at the same time.

Wang Chao met Howard at the All-Star Weekend venue, and the other party greeted him warmly.

"Hey, Wang, you are really amazing. We are the 04 All-Star rookie brother group. We must play well in the competition and let them know the strength of our 04 rookies."

Howard is an optimistic and cheerful boy with a bit of social arrogance. He can get acquainted with everyone quickly and joke around.

As a player, such a personality is easy to get along in the team, which is not a bad thing.

But Wang Chao knows that Howard, who will be in his 30s in the future, will still be this kind of big boy personality, and it is precisely because of this personality that he ruined what should have been a greater career.

In the future, Warcraft Howard, who has selected 75 superstars for the 75th anniversary of the NBA, three-time best defensive player, five-time rebounding champion, and 8-time All-Star selection in his career, has missed the 75 superstars.

This is nothing at all, but Warcraft was not selected for the top 75, but Lillard of the Blazers was selected, which is a bit of a problem...

Like Harden, Westbrook and others are all players with the highest honor of regular season MVP, Big Eyebrow, Leonard has the blessing of the championship, Paul's career is long enough and efficient, Anthony ranks No.27000 in history with 11 points in his career , can also be regarded as a stable position in the arena.

Where did you Lillard come from, and why are you more qualified to be selected into the 75th than Warcraft?
It's a bit off topic.

Wang Chao really feels that if Howard's character can be a little more stable, even if he suffered a serious injury in 12 and his physical fitness declined, he should win more honors in the remaining few seasons when he is still competitive.

Of course, Howard's decline has something to do with the acceleration of the small ball era. A blue-collar player like him, after losing his previous speed and explosive power due to injury, can only be used as a pure tool in the small ball era. , is destined to be eliminated.

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, Wang Chao was completely in a circle.

But by the next day, he was the only one busy.

The three-point contest is not difficult for Wang Chao, who has a full three-point shooting ability of 99, especially when he sees the opponents in this All-Star three-point contest, he feels more relaxed.

Gilbert Arenas, James Jones, Jason Terry, Mike Miller, Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki.

The above-mentioned few are not without strongmen. Nowitzki is a top superstar who can be ranked in the top five in history at the power forward position. Arenas was also in the limelight at his peak.

But when it comes to three-pointers...

I don’t know what’s going on, maybe it’s because of the function attached to time travel, Wang Chao’s memory of the three-point contest in 07 is very deep. Originally, this three-point contest was not interesting at all. He didn’t pay much attention to it, but he was very interested It is clear that Jason Kapono of the Heat should win the championship in 07. He scored 24 points in the final to tie the historical record and win the championship.

However, due to Wang Chao's arrival, Kapono did not participate in this year's three-point contest. Maybe his place was replaced by Wang Chao.

In this way, Wang Chao's only possible opponent ceased to exist.

As for the others...

Wang Chao remembers that in this finals, Nowitzki scored the lowest score in the history of the finals, only 10 points, and was eliminated in a shame. Terry even scored 10 points in the preliminaries, which really belonged to Dallas The crouching dragon and phoenix chicks.

He also does not think that Arenas, Miller and even Jones have the possibility of threatening him.

……

On the second day of the single-player events, the first start is the skill challenge.

The Skills Challenge in 07 was the same as in 06. It was also star-studded. Kobe, James, Wade, and Paul participated in the competition, which made the Skills Challenge, which was the least popular among single-player events, become the focus of attention of the audience. .

In contrast, the lineup of the three-point contest is indeed a bit awkward, and only Nowitzki and Arenas are holding the cards.

After a fierce competition, Wade won the championship of the Skills Challenge. Although this is not a gold-rich award, it is still worth commemorating that the opponents are Kobe, James, and Paul.

After the skills challenge, the staff seized the time to remove the props and arrange the arena for the three-point contest. At the same time, the on-site DJ also began to introduce the players participating in the three-point contest.

"The next player, 6 feet 9 inches tall and 216 pounds, has averaged 20.7 points per game so far in the regular season. The well-deserved best three-point shooter! The king of forwards from the Phoenix Suns - Super!"

The spotlight hit Wang Chao's body, and he raised his hands in the air, signaling to the fans in the auditorium.

James Jones, who was standing beside Wang Chao, lowered his head and curled his lips unhappily.

"What are you proud of?"

His voice wasn't too loud, but it wasn't too low, just enough to be heard by Wang Chao who was on the side.

Wang Chao turned his head to look at Jones, and what he saw was the fighting spirit in the opponent's eyes.

"Wang Chao! I want to beat you in the three-point contest! Prove my ability!"

Jones looked at Wang Chao and said without hesitation.

"Oh?" Wang Chao raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that Jones would actually have the guts to challenge him in front of him.

This made him give this guy a slightly higher look.

For a long time, Wang Chao thought that Jones would only hide behind and do those dirty tricks, inciting the Suns players to isolate him, speak ill of him behind his back, and form cliques to suppress Wang Chao.

The above-mentioned behaviors, in Wang Chao's view, are like clowns, not worth mentioning at all.

Any conspiracy is meaningless in the face of absolute strength, not to mention that Jones' little trick is an insult to conspiracy.

Wang Chao really didn't expect that James Jones would officially challenge him on the stage of the three-point contest.

"Ding—the system task is triggered, defeat James Jones in the three-point contest and win the championship, and reward 100 points for completing the task."

The voice of the system suddenly sounded in Wang Chao's consciousness, making him startled again.

This can actually trigger the mission?
It's just that the rewards for this task are somewhat low, only 100 points, which is equal to the rewards for 10 regular season victories.

However, considering the difficulty of defeating James Jones, it is not bad to have this reward.

Don't look at the label of James Jones' career as a three-point shooter, but as a shooter, he is not even considered excellent in the NBA.

His career three-point shooting percentage is indeed not bad. 40% of his career shooting percentage is standard for three-point shooters, but the average of only 2.7 shots and 1.1 goals per game is really a bit small.

Compared with the shooter Mike Miller who also participated in this three-point contest, he averaged 3.8 shots per game and hit 1.5 goals in his career, with a shooting percentage of 40.7%.

The well-known league shooter Kyle Korver averaged 4.6 shots per game and hit 2 goals in his career, and his three-point shooting percentage was 42.9%.

There is no need to use Curry or Thompson to bully Jones. Even JR. Smith, the nerdy knife, although his career three-point shooting percentage is only 37.3% is inferior to the above shooters, but the data of 5.3 shots per game and 2 goals is far better than Pass Jones.

The brightest period of Jones' entire career was the years when he was James' guard with a knife. He won three championships with the Heat and Cavaliers, and got a good "pension insurance" contract.

On the contrary, he won the three-point contest once in 11, but the 20-point victory in the final is not much to brag about.

This is simply a free mission. For Wang Chao, it is considered to be a gift during the New Year and holidays, so 100 points can be understood as—little courtesy and affection?

……

After the on-site DJ's introduction, the competition venue has also been set up, and the three-point contest officially begins.

The first to appear was General Arenas.

Like JR. Smith, Arenas, who has the same nerve-knives attributes, has a good touch outside the three-point line. When the touch is good, it can even be against the sky.

In the first round of preliminaries, his touch was obviously very hot.

At the end of all five shooting points, his score was fixed at 5 points, which is quite a high score in the preliminaries. According to the previous scoring situation, it has been stable to enter the finals.

Immediately following Arenas' debut was Mike Miller, whose performance was obviously inferior to that of Arenas, scoring 17 points in the end.

James Jones was the third player to appear.

He didn't forget to take another look at Wang Chao before going on the field, then took a deep breath and walked onto the field.

With a whistle, Jones started the game.

Looking at the opponent's crisp shooting action, Wang Chao raised his eyebrows.

"Not bad, it seems that after a lot of hard training..."

It can be seen that Jones has really worked hard for the three-point contest, and his shooting percentage is quite good. After 5 rounds of shooting, his score is finally fixed at 22 points. Although it is lower than Arenas' 23 points, it is still quite good. Nice score.

Jones walked off the field with a smile on his face, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Wang Chao again.

Regarding this, Wang Chao just curled his lips.

It's not yet time for him to play, otherwise he will use his performance to tell the opponent how ridiculous his ideas are.

However, as the champion of the last three-point contest, Wang Chao was scheduled to be the last to appear on the stage, so the fourth player to appear was Jason Terry of the Mavericks.

Wang Chao watched this episode.

With Arenas and Jones in front of Yuzhu, Terry was obviously a little anxious. He didn't adjust his rhythm at the beginning. The first two shots were scattered, and his mentality also collapsed. In the end, he only scored 10 points. Black Walk off the stage with a straight face.

Dirk Nowitzki then came on the stage and played much better than his teammate John Terry. He finally scored 20 points and is currently qualified for the final.

But the finale Wang Chao has not yet appeared.

Watching Wang Chao stand up slowly and walk towards the field.

Dayao, who was sitting in the auditorium not far away, couldn't help shaking his head.

"Wang Chao is under a lot of pressure. He must score 20 points higher than Dirk's in this round to enter the final. I hope he can withstand the pressure."

pressure?

Wang Chao said that it does not exist.

As the whistle sounded, he immediately "swished" the basketball to the basket.

Basketballs hit the net one by one.

The audience on the sidelines gradually felt something was wrong.

This... the hit rate is too high, right?
The first shooting point was all five goals, the second shooting point was 5 of 4, and the third shooting point was also 5 of 4!

Wang Chao missed all ordinary basketballs, that is to say, after three points were shot, his points had reached 16 points!
As long as Wang Chao can hit 2% of the remaining 50 shots and score [-] goals, he can defeat Nowitzki and enter the finals!

Wang Chao did not disappoint the audience.

At the fourth shooting point, Wang Chao made 4 of 5 shots and still kept the suit ball worth 3 points steadily. His personal score reached 2 points, tying Nowitzki.

Then at the last shooting point, which is the three-point line on the right corner, Wang Chao glanced at the game time. With the blessing of the quick shooter talent, Wang Chao's shot speed is so fast that there is still a lot of time left.

He took a deep breath, and then aimed at the basket to start the last round of shooting.

"Shua-shua-shua-shua-shua-shua!"

Five crisp netting sounds sounded, and Wang Chao's last five balls were all hit without exception.

26 points!
Wang Chao tied the three-point scoring record broken in the All-Star Weekend three-point contest last season, scoring 30 points with only 26 points in total!
After Wang Chao scored the last ball, the audience cheered thunderously, while several other contestants sitting on the sidelines had different expressions, among which James Jones had the most complicated expression.

He didn't expect that Wang Chao could easily crush the three-pointer that he had practiced so hard for a long time.

Although the game is not over yet, he still has a chance to compete with Wang Chao in the final round, but at this time Jones actually already has the answer in his heart...he can't beat Wang Chao, at least in the field of three-pointers Absolutely can't win!
