Chapter 236 "I don't mind giving up number 2 to you"
Chapter 236 "I don't mind giving up second place to you"
"Xu, I'm going to participate in this year's skills challenge." Coming out of the press conference, Rose was in a good mood.
Xu Yong looked at Ross with a surprised expression. He had never heard Ross mention this before.
"The decision I just made is that I can participate in the All-Star Game with you." Rose said with a smile.
Xu Yong gave Ross a thumbs up and was happy for him.
Rose's character was originally boring, and his continuous injuries made him taciturn, but now he is so proactive. It seems that tonight's game not only restored his confidence, but also allowed him to get rid of his psychological baggage.
This wave is considered unintentional.
Of course, he didn't know that Rich Paul was behind everything that happened to Rose. Otherwise, he would have joined Wade and Riley in singing "Thank You" to James.
Outside the Cavaliers locker room, James was in a terrible mood.
Originally, he wanted to give a speech after returning to the locker room after the game.
As a result, he arrived at the door after he was in a good mood, and he heard Irving and Love talking and laughing, and seemed to be very happy.
Of course they should be happy. Although they failed to win the game in the end, they had a great time!
这场比赛打下来,欧文26分5助攻,乐福22分13板6助攻,戴维斯19分9板3盖帽,就连刚来的JR都有23分。
This was much more enjoyable than the last time they fought.
And losing by 5 points in the end was enough for them to be happy all night. After all, their opponent was the Bulls who were in full swing.
James clenched his hands into fists, turned and left.
At this time, he really felt that he should be outside the locker room and not in the locker room.
"LeBron?" But just when he was about to leave, Harris happened to come out of the locker room and spotted him.
After being pestered by James and having a hard chat all night, he felt that the relationship between the two had improved a lot.
But at this moment, the originally bustling locker room suddenly became quiet.
James' face turned red, ignored Harris, and left quickly.
Of course, at this time, he probably would never have thought that what he had experienced just now was just the beginning.
Fast forward to late August.
In the past half month, in addition to the Bulls, which continues to be strong, the league's strongest teams are the Thunder, Warriors, and Cavaliers.
The Thunder performed very strongly after Ibaka returned, quickly closing the gap with the Warriors;
The Warriors also welcomed the return of David Lee, but Lee's experience after his return was much worse than Rose's. He only played four starts and brought a record of 2 wins and 2 losses to the Warriors. Cole was benched and never started again.
You have to admire Kerr's courage, because not any coach would dare to treat last season's All-Star interior core like this, but it did work, and the Warriors returned to winning mode;
The most interesting thing about the Cavaliers is the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have faced many strong opponents in the past half month, including championship teams such as the Warriors, Mavericks, and Raptors. However, their record is 6 wins and 2 losses, which is the best in the Eastern Conference. The team with the best record besides the Bulls in this half month.
The direct result of this was that when the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors and Raptors to win four consecutive games, James announced his early comeback.
It can only be said that this groin injury is too smart to be unpredictable.
At this time, the starting and substitute lists for the 2015 All-Star Game were released, including the lists for individual events.
West starting lineup: Curry, Harden, Durant, Leonard, Marc Gasol;
Substitutes: Westbrook, Lillard, Klay Thompson, Nowitzki, Aldridge, Duncan, Cousins
Eastern starting lineup: Paul, Jimmy Butler, Xu Yong, Anthony, James;
Substitutes: Wall, Lowry, Irving, Wade, Paul George, Bosh, Love
(Kobe Bryant and Griffin were selected as starters for the Western Conference All-Stars, but both were absent due to injuries. The starting positions were replaced by Harden and Gasol, while Lillard and Cousins were selected as All-Star substitutes)
In the individual competitions, the most noteworthy thing this year is the three-point shooting contest.
With the introduction of the [vertical jump rule], the decline of the inside line has accelerated, and the league has begun to experience a blowout of three-pointers. This year will also be the most fiercely competitive year in this event.
今年受邀参赛的8个人分别是(内为三分命中率):哈登(37.5%)、徐永(40.3%)、欧文(41.5%)、JJ·雷迪克(43.7%)、克莱·汤普森(43.9%)、库里(44.3%)、埃里克·戈登(44.8%)、科沃尔(49.2%)。
The intensity of this year's competition can be seen from this list alone.
Xu Yong also attaches great importance to this individual event. After all, after losing last year, he promised to win the championship this year.
However, as the player with the second-lowest shooting percentage on the roster, it is not easy to win the championship.
But as the saying goes, if you put on a show, you have to finish it, so he specially spent a lot of money to hire Jason Kapono to help him with targeted training.
What needs to be mentioned here is that there is a difference between the three-point shooting competition and the three-point shooting ability. It does not mean that if you shoot accurately during the season, you will definitely win the championship.
To use a very vivid saying, a three-point accuracy only means that you can shoot accurately, but to win the championship, you have to shoot fast and accurately.
This requires targeted training. After all, shooting 1 times in a minute and hitting the target every one of them is beyond the reach of a human being.
This is actually the difference between Novak and Kapono. They are both very famous full-time three-point shooters. Kapono has won the three-point shooting competition twice in a row in his career.
Kapono is also very professional. He gave Xu Yong a lot of advice, such as the optimal height of the ball from the ground when shooting a jump shot, the number of backspin circles for the ball, and even the best way to start shooting with the second ball from the rack. (The smoothest position, the ball behind will roll forward) and other details.
He even suggested that Xu Yong set the flower ball point at the last point, because for high-level shooters, rhythm is more important than ability, and the rhythm at the last point is often the most accurate.
Xu Yong's money spent is definitely worth it. His ability in the three-point shooting competition can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
And at this time, under the instruction of the league, the participating players also began to warm up for this year's three-point shooting contest.
Curry scored a season-high 51 points against the Mavericks. During the post-game interview, his young face spoke boldly to the camera: "I will beat Xu."
Then, amid the astonishment of reporters and fans, he immediately added with a smile: "In the three-point contest."
Xu Yong was not idle either. He met Rachel Annemarie Demita, a well-known female anchor at the time, before the team's official training one day.
Rachel is a solid basketball player, the main player of the high school team, leading the team to a record of 21 wins and 2 losses, and was also nominated for the McDonald's All-American High School Student.
However, due to injuries and height (1 meters), she eventually failed to become a professional player. Instead, she changed her job and became the anchor of 73KTV. After that, she quickly became popular with her sweet appearance and became the basketball goddess of many fans. She was called reality The version of "Haruko Akagi" has also been rumored to have affairs with many NBA players such as Durant.
Before coming to meet with Xu Yong, she had already made enough preparations for today's meeting. She conducted intensive three-point training under the guidance of a professional trainer. She came to the United Center today to compete with him in the three-point contest.
This is a live broadcast, and quite a few fans are already looking forward to witnessing the competition between the two on the court.
At this time, the barrage was already filled with hearts.
After all, Xu Yong is much more attractive to women than Durant and others.
Especially since both of them are single now in the eyes of fans.
The two engaged in rock-paper-scissors after reaching for fist bumps.
Xu Yong deliberately lost one hand to Rachel, which also made the fans in the live broadcast room start to adopt the rhythm of "Xu Yong loves the beauty and cherishes the jade".
A simple sentence to introduce the rules of the three-point shooting contest: two bottom corners of the half, two 45° plus a circle top 5 points, each point has five balls, except for the flower ball points, which are all flower balls, the remaining points are 4 ordinary balls plus a fancy ball. If you throw these 1 balls within 25 minute, you will get 1 point for the ordinary ball and 2 points for the fancy ball. The total score is 34 points.
Rachel placed the ball point in the middle. For ordinary people, the top of the arc is also the best point to shoot.
She quickly started shooting, and it was a very masculine shot. She scored two goals at the first point, including the flower ball at the end.
Xu Yong gave Rachel a thumbs up in the camera.
Rachel scored a total of 5 points in the first two points, which was a very good performance. She also made 2 shots in the flower ball point, and scored 3 points in 9 points.
Jordan and Durant are already being criticized in the barrage. Even if they are better than them, they can only get five or six points (Jordan has 5 points, Durant has 6 points when he participates for the first time).
Xu Yong was not surprised, because before his rebirth, the record holder of the three-point shooting contest was a woman, and women are as talented as men in shooting.
But when it came to the next two points, Rachel's physical fitness began to fail to keep up, and her shots became too frequent.
Anyone who has played ball knows that the normal frequency of shots can be maintained for a period of time, but once the frequency of shots is accelerated, physical energy consumption increases rapidly. Especially for this kind of 1-minute rapid fire, it is difficult for ordinary people to just complete the game.
Rachel's final score was fixed at 12 points, which was already a pretty good performance.
Then, it was Xu Yong's turn to play.
At this time, the barrage started to flash [Xu Yong be gentler].
Xu Yong's expression became very serious when he reached the first point.
It's impossible to be too light. The essence of this event is to raise expectations among fans.
Soon, a series of goals sounded on the court.
Xu Yong's shooting is a two-stage shooting, so he does not seek speed, but stability, but his entire rhythm is maintained very well, like a shooting machine, which is also the result of his training.
The first point was 4 points, the second point was 5 points, the third point was 5 points, and the fourth point was 4 points. When he came to the last ball point, his score had directly reached 18 points.
At the last point, Xu Yong's rhythm was completely out. Except for the first missed shot, the remaining 4 hits were made in succession, and the score was finally fixed at 26 points.
Rachel went from applauding at the beginning to being stunned, and finally opened her mouth wide, making everyone numb.
In the live broadcast room, while the fans complained about Xu Yong's lack of compassion, they also instantly looked forward to the next three-point shooting contest.
Although Xu Yong is now the serious leader in the league, just like no one expects Jordan to win the three-point shooting competition, no one thinks that he really has a chance to win the championship. After all, he is the most successful three-pointer among all the contestants. The rate is second to last.
But now, Xu Yong deserves to be Xu Yong. His No.1 is really different from Jordan.
This year's All-Star Game is held in New York and is co-hosted by Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks, and Barclays Center, home of the Nets. The former hosts the main game, while the latter hosts all individual events except the main game.
So the day before the All-Star Weekend, Xu Yong and Rose flew to New York together.
Before the All-Star Game, the Bulls experienced a small wave of injuries. Butler (right shoulder strain) and Adams (metacarpal fracture) were both absent due to injuries. If it weren't for Rose's temporary decision that night, Xu Yong would have been injured this time. Going to New York is going to be all alone.
"I heard that LeBron has been a little busy recently." On the plane, Rose, who seemed to have a smile on his face at all times, also chatted with Xu Yong. Since experiencing the 50-point night, he has obviously become a lot brighter and cheerful.
"He should have thoughts on this year's All-Star Game MVP." He continued to add.
Xu Yong looked at Rose in confusion, not because of what Rose said. After all, James has not achieved anything so far. Even the Best of the Week and Best of the Month that the James fans care about have been snatched by him, but how did Rose know? About these things?
"Reggie told me what he said, and he heard it from his friends." Ross explained, and of course it was the truth. Reggie was the talker of the Ross family, and the Ross family was an important member of the Chicago gang. Reggie's friends and Reggie's The relationship is always better than with Rich Paul.
In other words, Rich Paul previously influenced Reggie's thoughts through a third party, and now, Reggie learns about James' dynamics through a third party.
When Xu Yong heard this, he no longer had any doubts, but just said in an extremely calm tone: "Let him be busy."
On the plane from Cleveland to New York, James was wearing headphones, his head moving to the rhythm of the music.
His current mood is the best since the season, because he has established relationships with all the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference. Even God did him a favor at this time, allowing Butler to miss this year's All-Star Game due to injury. He is determined to win this year's All-Star Game MVP.
……
Although two arenas host games, the whole of New York is very lively during the All-Star Weekend, because NBA officials and partners will simultaneously conduct comprehensive games in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and even Starn Island. Fan activities, including star interaction.
When Xu Yong showed up in Brooklyn's Rucker Park, the street ball mecca was in a state of uproar.
He also went on the court to compete with street ball players, showing off a variety of dunks that ignited the audience.
Many famous stars have visited this park, such as Kobe Bryant and Durant, but there are also some stars who dare not come because of their skills or fear of injury.
Of course, Xu Yong doesn't have to worry about these two points. His performance also made the fans at the scene shout "Let's watch (the dunk contest) again."
However, compared to dunks, Xu Yong shot more three-pointers in the game. His various performances of shooting at passers-by also made the fans cheer. After the game, he even held a three-point contest with local streetball players. The competition also made fans look forward to the three-point contest two days later.
Rucker Park was not Xu Yong’s only stop before the All-Star Weekend. He appeared in many places in New York and had three-point shooting discussions with many local street ball players.
This is not only to promote the game, but also to better adapt to the competition environment.
His poor performance last year was not only due to his poor grasp of the details of the game, but also due to his inability to adapt to the noisy environment of live games.
When shooting a quick shot, any distraction can make all the difference.
In fact, the level of being invited to participate in the main game is not very different. It depends more on preparation and on-the-spot performance.
Finally, after completing a series of preparations, the second day of the All-Star Weekend ushered in the individual competition day.
The first shooting star, Bosh won the championship for the Heat. He also helped the Heat win three consecutive championships in this event.
Looking at the high-spirited Dragon King when he and his teammates received the award, Xu Yong remembered one thing. If he remembered correctly, Bosh's blood clot was about to come out.
After the shooting star, there is a skills challenge.
Rose looked very relaxed, and he easily defeated Jeff Teague in the preliminaries and reached the semifinals.
He also performed well in the subsequent semi-finals, and finally defeated Beverley in the final, successfully winning the final championship trophy.
This is also the second time he has won this event, the last time being in his sophomore year.
His lightning-fast appearance caused a burst of cheers from the crowd. They felt that Rose's physical condition was quite good.
After Rose won the award, he was still in a very relaxed state. He always smiled and said to Xu Yong with a smile when he came off the field: "I took mine, and it's up to you next."
Xu Yong nodded. After the skills challenge, there was the three-point shooting contest.
The fans' emotions were aroused by Rose. When the three-point contest was about to come, they couldn't wait.
When the players appeared, Curry was the first to appear. Curry's appearance instantly attracted bursts of cheers from the audience.
The Warriors have risen this season, and with his unique baby face and unique style of play, Curry's popularity has soared rapidly.
In particular, fans still remember what Curry said before about defeating Xu Yong.
Xu Yong was the last to appear, and his appearance completely ignited the scene.
What is the popularity of the league's signature, and the key is that Xu Yong is also the favorite to win this three-pointer contest.
The game was about to start, and reporters took the time to interview the two before the game.
"You said you wanted to defeat Xu before, does that still hold true now?"
The baby-faced Curry smiled and nodded. Although it was a warm-up arranged by the league, he was also confident.
"Xu, what do you think?"
"I'm sorry, Stephen, I forgot about this."
Xu Yong's answer made Curry laugh, but his next words made the audience cheer.
"But my goal is not you, but all the contestants, so I don't mind giving up second place to you." Curry laughed and applauded vigorously.
Both sides finished their harsh words and the game was ready to begin.
Over at the commentary box, five commentators from TNT (this year's All-Star broadcaster) began to make their final predictions.
Three of them are optimistic about Curry, one supports Klay Thompson, and only Barkley, the [No. 3 Xu Biao], voted for Xu Yong.
Although Xu Yong is very aura, Curry's three-point performance this season is so explosive that he should be the more favored one.
Everything is ready, Curry appears as the first player.
Many details on the court revealed that he, like Xu Yong, had carefully prepared for tonight's game, including placing the ball at the last point and starting with the second ball on the rack. of.
Of course, what's more important is his shooting rhythm. As the whistle on the sidelines begins, Curry's one-part shot is fast and accurate.
At the first point, he scored 4 goals and scored 5 points, which instantly caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
In terms of three-point shooting ability, Curry can really hit the best in history.
However, after entering the second point, his shooting showed some fluctuations.
The cheers at the scene are not actually cheers for the players, but real interference, which is the so-called noise that Xu Yong mentioned before.
His ups and downs continued until the fourth point. It seemed like a long span, but in fact it only lasted about ten seconds.
Before the last ball point, he scored only 15 points.
This moment made the scene agitated.
Curry's popularity soared this season, but since entering the league, his three-point shooting ability has always been strong, and he has been invited to participate in the three-point contest.
In fact, this is his sixth year in the league, but it is already his fourth time participating in the three-point contest.
And what is different from what many people imagine is that in the previous three times, he only entered the finals in 3. In the following two consecutive years in 2010 and 2013, he was eliminated in the preliminary stage.
This is actually the characteristic of the three-point contest that Xu Yong mentioned before. He values preparation and on-the-spot performance more than ability.
Today, Curry's on-the-spot performance was relatively average.
In particular, the reaction from the scene was to further disrupt the players.
But at this time, Curry showed that he was different from the past few years. He hit 5 of 4 in the last ball point, and finally scored 23 points.
This score is theoretically enough to ensure that he reaches the finals.
After the game was pitched, there was a burst of cheers at the scene. Curry's ups and downs were really ups and downs.
However, judging from Curry's tense expression, he was still not satisfied with his performance.
Fortunately, after Harden finished his second shot, his expression relaxed a lot, and even Xu Yong covered his face and smiled, expressing that he couldn't bear to watch it.
Because Harden started to lose weight from the first point. Although he shot well in the middle, he only shot 15 points in the end.
Harden himself smiled after voting. He came to study with the prince this year.
Then, without knowing the impact of his performance, Redick, who appeared next, only had 16 points.
After Redick, Korver, who was fed by Paul this season with the highest shooting percentage of his career and the highest shooting percentage, only shot 18 points.
Gordon, the second-highest player after that, also only scored 18 points.
At this point, we can actually see that in addition to preparation and state, psychological quality is also an extremely critical factor in the three-point contest.
This year's Three-Point Contest has attracted so much attention, the average player really can't bear that kind of psychological pressure.
Curry felt a lot more relaxed when he saw this. Based on this momentum, it is safe for him to enter the finals.
But immediately, his teammate Klay Thompson gave him a heavy blow, and he scored 24 points.
Thompson is a two-stage shot, but his height from the ground and shooting hand shape are perfect. It can be called a textbook shot.
The key is that his psychological quality is also strong enough. He is a 3D star who is seriously better than Granger.
Of the six players left in the competition, Irving and Xu Yong are still under pressure. To advance, they must score at least 19 points, and to advance steadily, they must score at least 23 points.
Although people who appear later have more initiative, they also have greater pressure.
Irving finally showed his killer nature, shooting 23 points under tremendous pressure.
Now, when the camera showed Xu Yong, the cheers at the scene were overwhelming, which also represented overwhelming pressure.
If Xu Yong wants to make it to the finals now, 23 points is not enough. He must at least score 24 points.
There is a high probability that it will be difficult to reach the finals.
But when Xu Yong stood up, his calm expression made people feel that he was not without a chance.
Xu Yong's mental state at this time is actually relatively relaxed.
Although he has made a lot of preparations and said harsh words, winning or losing the game is actually not that important to him, especially compared with Curry. Curry needs the three-point champion to crown himself, and after all, he is not relying on Three points for eating.
The result of this is that he also scored 4 goals on the first point like Curry, but he was slightly less lucky. He missed the last flower ball and was 1 point less than Curry.
The scene has started to get agitated. The so-called experts can tell at a glance whether there is something wrong. From the match against Rachel to the performance in the street stadium in the past few days, Xu Yong has whetted the appetite of the fans. Then with this one point, the fans will be excited. I knew that he was not just trying to satisfy his appetite, but that he was well prepared.
And unlike Curry, Xu Yong has a relaxed mentality and strong ability to withstand pressure. His entire performance has always been stable.
Before the last flower ball point, he had scored 18 points.
As long as he scores 3 flower balls, he will surely advance to the finals.
It was at this time that Xu Yong's mentality fluctuated slightly, and he missed his first two shots one after another.
There was an uproar at the scene.
However, Xu Yong slowed down the pace for the next three goals and hit them all one after another.
With 24 points, he tied with Thompson for first place in the preliminaries.
After Xu Yong finished his shot, Ross behind him had already stood up excitedly, and then he was the first to rush over and bump chests with him.
Then Harden and DeRozan also came up to yell at him. The latter was added to this year's All-Star Game due to Butler's absence.
Xu Yong was also in a good mood. He high-fived them and raised his right hand to make a fist in response to the cheers.
The last point was not that he panicked, but that he was a little excited.
This kind of game only lasts for one minute, and any emotion will affect the performance.
At the end of the preliminaries, Xu Yong and Thompson tied for first with 24 points, and Curry and Irving tied for second with 23 points. This means that before the finals, Curry and Irving will have to play an extra round.
The process of the game and the final score definitely met the fans' expectations.
During the playoffs, Xu Yong became even more relaxed. He even cheered Curry: "Don't be able to win second place."
Perhaps stimulated by his words, Curry was in very brave form in the extra round. He scored the same 23 points as in the preliminaries, eliminating Irving with 17 points and successfully entered the finals.
The value of these 23 points is higher than that of the preliminaries, because the pressure at this time is doubled.
In the finals, Curry, Thompson, and Xu Yong appeared in order from low to high.
To briefly summarize, Xu Yong is surrounded by [Splash Brothers].
The good news is that he is the last one to appear, and the initiative is in his own hands.
Curry is the first to appear. In addition to the pressure, he also consumes the most physical energy.
Because after the extra game, he didn't have much time to rest.
But Curry gave everyone a small shock after his first appearance.
Starting from the second ball at the second point, Curry seemed to have hit 13 consecutive goals like a god!
With every goal he hit, the emotions of the fans at the scene got a little higher, and by the end it was completely boiling.
Before the last ball point, his score was an incredible 21 points. He had only missed 2 goals in total, and one was a ball.
Curry made 5 of 3 shots on the last ball, setting his score at 27 points.
The 27 points also broke the previous record of 2008 points set by Kapono in the 25 Three-Point Contest.
Curry also shouted excitedly after taking the shot this time, and even turned around and bumped chests with Thompson who was about to play. The elementary school student was really awesome this time.
This is 27 points. Although the people further back have the initiative, the key is to be able to shoot.
Thompson, who came on the scene for the second time, touched his chest and felt a lot of pressure.
Then, there was no suspense about his performance, and he only scored 14 points in the end.
What is the pressure of a new historical record? No matter how good your psychological quality is, it is difficult to withstand it.
The camera showed Xu Yong, Xu Yong stood up and appeared on the stage, and the scene suddenly became extremely quiet.
A huge invisible pressure pressed on everyone.
Xu Yong's performance in the preliminaries was indeed amazing, but how could he score higher than 27 points?
Xu Yong walked to the first point, he exhaled, shook his arms, and let his body relax as much as possible.
Even if you know winning or losing doesn't matter, at this point, it's impossible to say there's no pressure.
"beep!"
The whistle sounded on the sidelines and the game officially started.
Everyone was staring at Xu Yong.
Xu Yong only scored 3 goals in the first point. Like Thompson, the impact of pressure cannot be avoided.
But the good news is that his final ball shot this time was successful.
And by the second point, Xu Yong gradually stabilized.
He doesn't have the performance of Curry to hit 10+ goals in a row, but he shoots every point very steadily, basically scoring between 4 and 5 points.
Before the last point, his score was 18 points, the same score as in the preliminaries.
This performance is good enough, but it is still too difficult to win.
Because the only chance is to hit all five flowers, but this probability is too small, and Xu Yong's last point in the preliminaries was 5 out of 3.
But Curry couldn't sit still at this time and stared at Xu Yong.
Although in theory he was basically guaranteed victory, Xu Yong's strong aura prevented him from relaxing until the end of the game.
On the court, Xu Yong felt that he had entered a state of selflessness.
That's not white-hot space, but what Kapono calls his own rhythm.
From the moment he picked up the first flower ball, he knew he could score when he took the shot.
"Shh!"
There was a crisp sound. Different from the preliminaries, Xu Yong’s first flower ball fell into the bag.
Then the second, the third...
As the ball was hit one after another, the fans at the scene began to boil uncontrollably.
After Xu Yong picked up the last ball, the cheers on the scene could no longer be stopped.
Really, one goal determines the outcome.
Because there were still more than 3 seconds left, Xu Yong paused for a moment with his last shot, and then shot it in front of everyone's eyes.
And after the throw, he still kept following the action.
The camera follows the ball, and the fans' eyes also follow the ball.
Two and a half turns, this is what Kapono calls the most perfect arc of rotation.
The basketball began to fall, just like the previous four balls, both its trajectory and trajectory were perfect.
"Shh!"
Basketball, hit the net.
28 points.
Lore!
Xu Yongjue killed Curry!
In a way that refreshed Curry's new three-point contest record!
Curry squatted down directly holding his head in disbelief.
Then the entire Barclays Center fell into a boil.
In the three-point contest of static confrontation, the final turned out to be a more exciting plot than the dynamic confrontation!
Bibo is burning! !
"I told you! I told you!"
Over at the commentary box, Barkley shouted excitedly to the other four people.
"Satan! Satan!"
Soon, a chorus of shouts erupted from the scene.
Xu Yong said last season that he wanted to win the three-point contest, and then he really did it.
Bird was the pressing king of the last century, but now, a new pressing king is born.
At this time, Xu Yong raised his hands and clenched his fists, welcoming the rush and shouts of the All-Stars on the sidelines.
After a while, the scene finally became quieter. He walked over to Curry, who had already stood up, and said with a smile: "Stephen, the second position belongs to you now."
(End of this chapter)
"Xu, I'm going to participate in this year's skills challenge." Coming out of the press conference, Rose was in a good mood.
Xu Yong looked at Ross with a surprised expression. He had never heard Ross mention this before.
"The decision I just made is that I can participate in the All-Star Game with you." Rose said with a smile.
Xu Yong gave Ross a thumbs up and was happy for him.
Rose's character was originally boring, and his continuous injuries made him taciturn, but now he is so proactive. It seems that tonight's game not only restored his confidence, but also allowed him to get rid of his psychological baggage.
This wave is considered unintentional.
Of course, he didn't know that Rich Paul was behind everything that happened to Rose. Otherwise, he would have joined Wade and Riley in singing "Thank You" to James.
Outside the Cavaliers locker room, James was in a terrible mood.
Originally, he wanted to give a speech after returning to the locker room after the game.
As a result, he arrived at the door after he was in a good mood, and he heard Irving and Love talking and laughing, and seemed to be very happy.
Of course they should be happy. Although they failed to win the game in the end, they had a great time!
这场比赛打下来,欧文26分5助攻,乐福22分13板6助攻,戴维斯19分9板3盖帽,就连刚来的JR都有23分。
This was much more enjoyable than the last time they fought.
And losing by 5 points in the end was enough for them to be happy all night. After all, their opponent was the Bulls who were in full swing.
James clenched his hands into fists, turned and left.
At this time, he really felt that he should be outside the locker room and not in the locker room.
"LeBron?" But just when he was about to leave, Harris happened to come out of the locker room and spotted him.
After being pestered by James and having a hard chat all night, he felt that the relationship between the two had improved a lot.
But at this moment, the originally bustling locker room suddenly became quiet.
James' face turned red, ignored Harris, and left quickly.
Of course, at this time, he probably would never have thought that what he had experienced just now was just the beginning.
Fast forward to late August.
In the past half month, in addition to the Bulls, which continues to be strong, the league's strongest teams are the Thunder, Warriors, and Cavaliers.
The Thunder performed very strongly after Ibaka returned, quickly closing the gap with the Warriors;
The Warriors also welcomed the return of David Lee, but Lee's experience after his return was much worse than Rose's. He only played four starts and brought a record of 2 wins and 2 losses to the Warriors. Cole was benched and never started again.
You have to admire Kerr's courage, because not any coach would dare to treat last season's All-Star interior core like this, but it did work, and the Warriors returned to winning mode;
The most interesting thing about the Cavaliers is the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have faced many strong opponents in the past half month, including championship teams such as the Warriors, Mavericks, and Raptors. However, their record is 6 wins and 2 losses, which is the best in the Eastern Conference. The team with the best record besides the Bulls in this half month.
The direct result of this was that when the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors and Raptors to win four consecutive games, James announced his early comeback.
It can only be said that this groin injury is too smart to be unpredictable.
At this time, the starting and substitute lists for the 2015 All-Star Game were released, including the lists for individual events.
West starting lineup: Curry, Harden, Durant, Leonard, Marc Gasol;
Substitutes: Westbrook, Lillard, Klay Thompson, Nowitzki, Aldridge, Duncan, Cousins
Eastern starting lineup: Paul, Jimmy Butler, Xu Yong, Anthony, James;
Substitutes: Wall, Lowry, Irving, Wade, Paul George, Bosh, Love
(Kobe Bryant and Griffin were selected as starters for the Western Conference All-Stars, but both were absent due to injuries. The starting positions were replaced by Harden and Gasol, while Lillard and Cousins were selected as All-Star substitutes)
In the individual competitions, the most noteworthy thing this year is the three-point shooting contest.
With the introduction of the [vertical jump rule], the decline of the inside line has accelerated, and the league has begun to experience a blowout of three-pointers. This year will also be the most fiercely competitive year in this event.
今年受邀参赛的8个人分别是(内为三分命中率):哈登(37.5%)、徐永(40.3%)、欧文(41.5%)、JJ·雷迪克(43.7%)、克莱·汤普森(43.9%)、库里(44.3%)、埃里克·戈登(44.8%)、科沃尔(49.2%)。
The intensity of this year's competition can be seen from this list alone.
Xu Yong also attaches great importance to this individual event. After all, after losing last year, he promised to win the championship this year.
However, as the player with the second-lowest shooting percentage on the roster, it is not easy to win the championship.
But as the saying goes, if you put on a show, you have to finish it, so he specially spent a lot of money to hire Jason Kapono to help him with targeted training.
What needs to be mentioned here is that there is a difference between the three-point shooting competition and the three-point shooting ability. It does not mean that if you shoot accurately during the season, you will definitely win the championship.
To use a very vivid saying, a three-point accuracy only means that you can shoot accurately, but to win the championship, you have to shoot fast and accurately.
This requires targeted training. After all, shooting 1 times in a minute and hitting the target every one of them is beyond the reach of a human being.
This is actually the difference between Novak and Kapono. They are both very famous full-time three-point shooters. Kapono has won the three-point shooting competition twice in a row in his career.
Kapono is also very professional. He gave Xu Yong a lot of advice, such as the optimal height of the ball from the ground when shooting a jump shot, the number of backspin circles for the ball, and even the best way to start shooting with the second ball from the rack. (The smoothest position, the ball behind will roll forward) and other details.
He even suggested that Xu Yong set the flower ball point at the last point, because for high-level shooters, rhythm is more important than ability, and the rhythm at the last point is often the most accurate.
Xu Yong's money spent is definitely worth it. His ability in the three-point shooting competition can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
And at this time, under the instruction of the league, the participating players also began to warm up for this year's three-point shooting contest.
Curry scored a season-high 51 points against the Mavericks. During the post-game interview, his young face spoke boldly to the camera: "I will beat Xu."
Then, amid the astonishment of reporters and fans, he immediately added with a smile: "In the three-point contest."
Xu Yong was not idle either. He met Rachel Annemarie Demita, a well-known female anchor at the time, before the team's official training one day.
Rachel is a solid basketball player, the main player of the high school team, leading the team to a record of 21 wins and 2 losses, and was also nominated for the McDonald's All-American High School Student.
However, due to injuries and height (1 meters), she eventually failed to become a professional player. Instead, she changed her job and became the anchor of 73KTV. After that, she quickly became popular with her sweet appearance and became the basketball goddess of many fans. She was called reality The version of "Haruko Akagi" has also been rumored to have affairs with many NBA players such as Durant.
Before coming to meet with Xu Yong, she had already made enough preparations for today's meeting. She conducted intensive three-point training under the guidance of a professional trainer. She came to the United Center today to compete with him in the three-point contest.
This is a live broadcast, and quite a few fans are already looking forward to witnessing the competition between the two on the court.
At this time, the barrage was already filled with hearts.
After all, Xu Yong is much more attractive to women than Durant and others.
Especially since both of them are single now in the eyes of fans.
The two engaged in rock-paper-scissors after reaching for fist bumps.
Xu Yong deliberately lost one hand to Rachel, which also made the fans in the live broadcast room start to adopt the rhythm of "Xu Yong loves the beauty and cherishes the jade".
A simple sentence to introduce the rules of the three-point shooting contest: two bottom corners of the half, two 45° plus a circle top 5 points, each point has five balls, except for the flower ball points, which are all flower balls, the remaining points are 4 ordinary balls plus a fancy ball. If you throw these 1 balls within 25 minute, you will get 1 point for the ordinary ball and 2 points for the fancy ball. The total score is 34 points.
Rachel placed the ball point in the middle. For ordinary people, the top of the arc is also the best point to shoot.
She quickly started shooting, and it was a very masculine shot. She scored two goals at the first point, including the flower ball at the end.
Xu Yong gave Rachel a thumbs up in the camera.
Rachel scored a total of 5 points in the first two points, which was a very good performance. She also made 2 shots in the flower ball point, and scored 3 points in 9 points.
Jordan and Durant are already being criticized in the barrage. Even if they are better than them, they can only get five or six points (Jordan has 5 points, Durant has 6 points when he participates for the first time).
Xu Yong was not surprised, because before his rebirth, the record holder of the three-point shooting contest was a woman, and women are as talented as men in shooting.
But when it came to the next two points, Rachel's physical fitness began to fail to keep up, and her shots became too frequent.
Anyone who has played ball knows that the normal frequency of shots can be maintained for a period of time, but once the frequency of shots is accelerated, physical energy consumption increases rapidly. Especially for this kind of 1-minute rapid fire, it is difficult for ordinary people to just complete the game.
Rachel's final score was fixed at 12 points, which was already a pretty good performance.
Then, it was Xu Yong's turn to play.
At this time, the barrage started to flash [Xu Yong be gentler].
Xu Yong's expression became very serious when he reached the first point.
It's impossible to be too light. The essence of this event is to raise expectations among fans.
Soon, a series of goals sounded on the court.
Xu Yong's shooting is a two-stage shooting, so he does not seek speed, but stability, but his entire rhythm is maintained very well, like a shooting machine, which is also the result of his training.
The first point was 4 points, the second point was 5 points, the third point was 5 points, and the fourth point was 4 points. When he came to the last ball point, his score had directly reached 18 points.
At the last point, Xu Yong's rhythm was completely out. Except for the first missed shot, the remaining 4 hits were made in succession, and the score was finally fixed at 26 points.
Rachel went from applauding at the beginning to being stunned, and finally opened her mouth wide, making everyone numb.
In the live broadcast room, while the fans complained about Xu Yong's lack of compassion, they also instantly looked forward to the next three-point shooting contest.
Although Xu Yong is now the serious leader in the league, just like no one expects Jordan to win the three-point shooting competition, no one thinks that he really has a chance to win the championship. After all, he is the most successful three-pointer among all the contestants. The rate is second to last.
But now, Xu Yong deserves to be Xu Yong. His No.1 is really different from Jordan.
This year's All-Star Game is held in New York and is co-hosted by Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks, and Barclays Center, home of the Nets. The former hosts the main game, while the latter hosts all individual events except the main game.
So the day before the All-Star Weekend, Xu Yong and Rose flew to New York together.
Before the All-Star Game, the Bulls experienced a small wave of injuries. Butler (right shoulder strain) and Adams (metacarpal fracture) were both absent due to injuries. If it weren't for Rose's temporary decision that night, Xu Yong would have been injured this time. Going to New York is going to be all alone.
"I heard that LeBron has been a little busy recently." On the plane, Rose, who seemed to have a smile on his face at all times, also chatted with Xu Yong. Since experiencing the 50-point night, he has obviously become a lot brighter and cheerful.
"He should have thoughts on this year's All-Star Game MVP." He continued to add.
Xu Yong looked at Rose in confusion, not because of what Rose said. After all, James has not achieved anything so far. Even the Best of the Week and Best of the Month that the James fans care about have been snatched by him, but how did Rose know? About these things?
"Reggie told me what he said, and he heard it from his friends." Ross explained, and of course it was the truth. Reggie was the talker of the Ross family, and the Ross family was an important member of the Chicago gang. Reggie's friends and Reggie's The relationship is always better than with Rich Paul.
In other words, Rich Paul previously influenced Reggie's thoughts through a third party, and now, Reggie learns about James' dynamics through a third party.
When Xu Yong heard this, he no longer had any doubts, but just said in an extremely calm tone: "Let him be busy."
On the plane from Cleveland to New York, James was wearing headphones, his head moving to the rhythm of the music.
His current mood is the best since the season, because he has established relationships with all the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference. Even God did him a favor at this time, allowing Butler to miss this year's All-Star Game due to injury. He is determined to win this year's All-Star Game MVP.
……
Although two arenas host games, the whole of New York is very lively during the All-Star Weekend, because NBA officials and partners will simultaneously conduct comprehensive games in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and even Starn Island. Fan activities, including star interaction.
When Xu Yong showed up in Brooklyn's Rucker Park, the street ball mecca was in a state of uproar.
He also went on the court to compete with street ball players, showing off a variety of dunks that ignited the audience.
Many famous stars have visited this park, such as Kobe Bryant and Durant, but there are also some stars who dare not come because of their skills or fear of injury.
Of course, Xu Yong doesn't have to worry about these two points. His performance also made the fans at the scene shout "Let's watch (the dunk contest) again."
However, compared to dunks, Xu Yong shot more three-pointers in the game. His various performances of shooting at passers-by also made the fans cheer. After the game, he even held a three-point contest with local streetball players. The competition also made fans look forward to the three-point contest two days later.
Rucker Park was not Xu Yong’s only stop before the All-Star Weekend. He appeared in many places in New York and had three-point shooting discussions with many local street ball players.
This is not only to promote the game, but also to better adapt to the competition environment.
His poor performance last year was not only due to his poor grasp of the details of the game, but also due to his inability to adapt to the noisy environment of live games.
When shooting a quick shot, any distraction can make all the difference.
In fact, the level of being invited to participate in the main game is not very different. It depends more on preparation and on-the-spot performance.
Finally, after completing a series of preparations, the second day of the All-Star Weekend ushered in the individual competition day.
The first shooting star, Bosh won the championship for the Heat. He also helped the Heat win three consecutive championships in this event.
Looking at the high-spirited Dragon King when he and his teammates received the award, Xu Yong remembered one thing. If he remembered correctly, Bosh's blood clot was about to come out.
After the shooting star, there is a skills challenge.
Rose looked very relaxed, and he easily defeated Jeff Teague in the preliminaries and reached the semifinals.
He also performed well in the subsequent semi-finals, and finally defeated Beverley in the final, successfully winning the final championship trophy.
This is also the second time he has won this event, the last time being in his sophomore year.
His lightning-fast appearance caused a burst of cheers from the crowd. They felt that Rose's physical condition was quite good.
After Rose won the award, he was still in a very relaxed state. He always smiled and said to Xu Yong with a smile when he came off the field: "I took mine, and it's up to you next."
Xu Yong nodded. After the skills challenge, there was the three-point shooting contest.
The fans' emotions were aroused by Rose. When the three-point contest was about to come, they couldn't wait.
When the players appeared, Curry was the first to appear. Curry's appearance instantly attracted bursts of cheers from the audience.
The Warriors have risen this season, and with his unique baby face and unique style of play, Curry's popularity has soared rapidly.
In particular, fans still remember what Curry said before about defeating Xu Yong.
Xu Yong was the last to appear, and his appearance completely ignited the scene.
What is the popularity of the league's signature, and the key is that Xu Yong is also the favorite to win this three-pointer contest.
The game was about to start, and reporters took the time to interview the two before the game.
"You said you wanted to defeat Xu before, does that still hold true now?"
The baby-faced Curry smiled and nodded. Although it was a warm-up arranged by the league, he was also confident.
"Xu, what do you think?"
"I'm sorry, Stephen, I forgot about this."
Xu Yong's answer made Curry laugh, but his next words made the audience cheer.
"But my goal is not you, but all the contestants, so I don't mind giving up second place to you." Curry laughed and applauded vigorously.
Both sides finished their harsh words and the game was ready to begin.
Over at the commentary box, five commentators from TNT (this year's All-Star broadcaster) began to make their final predictions.
Three of them are optimistic about Curry, one supports Klay Thompson, and only Barkley, the [No. 3 Xu Biao], voted for Xu Yong.
Although Xu Yong is very aura, Curry's three-point performance this season is so explosive that he should be the more favored one.
Everything is ready, Curry appears as the first player.
Many details on the court revealed that he, like Xu Yong, had carefully prepared for tonight's game, including placing the ball at the last point and starting with the second ball on the rack. of.
Of course, what's more important is his shooting rhythm. As the whistle on the sidelines begins, Curry's one-part shot is fast and accurate.
At the first point, he scored 4 goals and scored 5 points, which instantly caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
In terms of three-point shooting ability, Curry can really hit the best in history.
However, after entering the second point, his shooting showed some fluctuations.
The cheers at the scene are not actually cheers for the players, but real interference, which is the so-called noise that Xu Yong mentioned before.
His ups and downs continued until the fourth point. It seemed like a long span, but in fact it only lasted about ten seconds.
Before the last ball point, he scored only 15 points.
This moment made the scene agitated.
Curry's popularity soared this season, but since entering the league, his three-point shooting ability has always been strong, and he has been invited to participate in the three-point contest.
In fact, this is his sixth year in the league, but it is already his fourth time participating in the three-point contest.
And what is different from what many people imagine is that in the previous three times, he only entered the finals in 3. In the following two consecutive years in 2010 and 2013, he was eliminated in the preliminary stage.
This is actually the characteristic of the three-point contest that Xu Yong mentioned before. He values preparation and on-the-spot performance more than ability.
Today, Curry's on-the-spot performance was relatively average.
In particular, the reaction from the scene was to further disrupt the players.
But at this time, Curry showed that he was different from the past few years. He hit 5 of 4 in the last ball point, and finally scored 23 points.
This score is theoretically enough to ensure that he reaches the finals.
After the game was pitched, there was a burst of cheers at the scene. Curry's ups and downs were really ups and downs.
However, judging from Curry's tense expression, he was still not satisfied with his performance.
Fortunately, after Harden finished his second shot, his expression relaxed a lot, and even Xu Yong covered his face and smiled, expressing that he couldn't bear to watch it.
Because Harden started to lose weight from the first point. Although he shot well in the middle, he only shot 15 points in the end.
Harden himself smiled after voting. He came to study with the prince this year.
Then, without knowing the impact of his performance, Redick, who appeared next, only had 16 points.
After Redick, Korver, who was fed by Paul this season with the highest shooting percentage of his career and the highest shooting percentage, only shot 18 points.
Gordon, the second-highest player after that, also only scored 18 points.
At this point, we can actually see that in addition to preparation and state, psychological quality is also an extremely critical factor in the three-point contest.
This year's Three-Point Contest has attracted so much attention, the average player really can't bear that kind of psychological pressure.
Curry felt a lot more relaxed when he saw this. Based on this momentum, it is safe for him to enter the finals.
But immediately, his teammate Klay Thompson gave him a heavy blow, and he scored 24 points.
Thompson is a two-stage shot, but his height from the ground and shooting hand shape are perfect. It can be called a textbook shot.
The key is that his psychological quality is also strong enough. He is a 3D star who is seriously better than Granger.
Of the six players left in the competition, Irving and Xu Yong are still under pressure. To advance, they must score at least 19 points, and to advance steadily, they must score at least 23 points.
Although people who appear later have more initiative, they also have greater pressure.
Irving finally showed his killer nature, shooting 23 points under tremendous pressure.
Now, when the camera showed Xu Yong, the cheers at the scene were overwhelming, which also represented overwhelming pressure.
If Xu Yong wants to make it to the finals now, 23 points is not enough. He must at least score 24 points.
There is a high probability that it will be difficult to reach the finals.
But when Xu Yong stood up, his calm expression made people feel that he was not without a chance.
Xu Yong's mental state at this time is actually relatively relaxed.
Although he has made a lot of preparations and said harsh words, winning or losing the game is actually not that important to him, especially compared with Curry. Curry needs the three-point champion to crown himself, and after all, he is not relying on Three points for eating.
The result of this is that he also scored 4 goals on the first point like Curry, but he was slightly less lucky. He missed the last flower ball and was 1 point less than Curry.
The scene has started to get agitated. The so-called experts can tell at a glance whether there is something wrong. From the match against Rachel to the performance in the street stadium in the past few days, Xu Yong has whetted the appetite of the fans. Then with this one point, the fans will be excited. I knew that he was not just trying to satisfy his appetite, but that he was well prepared.
And unlike Curry, Xu Yong has a relaxed mentality and strong ability to withstand pressure. His entire performance has always been stable.
Before the last flower ball point, he had scored 18 points.
As long as he scores 3 flower balls, he will surely advance to the finals.
It was at this time that Xu Yong's mentality fluctuated slightly, and he missed his first two shots one after another.
There was an uproar at the scene.
However, Xu Yong slowed down the pace for the next three goals and hit them all one after another.
With 24 points, he tied with Thompson for first place in the preliminaries.
After Xu Yong finished his shot, Ross behind him had already stood up excitedly, and then he was the first to rush over and bump chests with him.
Then Harden and DeRozan also came up to yell at him. The latter was added to this year's All-Star Game due to Butler's absence.
Xu Yong was also in a good mood. He high-fived them and raised his right hand to make a fist in response to the cheers.
The last point was not that he panicked, but that he was a little excited.
This kind of game only lasts for one minute, and any emotion will affect the performance.
At the end of the preliminaries, Xu Yong and Thompson tied for first with 24 points, and Curry and Irving tied for second with 23 points. This means that before the finals, Curry and Irving will have to play an extra round.
The process of the game and the final score definitely met the fans' expectations.
During the playoffs, Xu Yong became even more relaxed. He even cheered Curry: "Don't be able to win second place."
Perhaps stimulated by his words, Curry was in very brave form in the extra round. He scored the same 23 points as in the preliminaries, eliminating Irving with 17 points and successfully entered the finals.
The value of these 23 points is higher than that of the preliminaries, because the pressure at this time is doubled.
In the finals, Curry, Thompson, and Xu Yong appeared in order from low to high.
To briefly summarize, Xu Yong is surrounded by [Splash Brothers].
The good news is that he is the last one to appear, and the initiative is in his own hands.
Curry is the first to appear. In addition to the pressure, he also consumes the most physical energy.
Because after the extra game, he didn't have much time to rest.
But Curry gave everyone a small shock after his first appearance.
Starting from the second ball at the second point, Curry seemed to have hit 13 consecutive goals like a god!
With every goal he hit, the emotions of the fans at the scene got a little higher, and by the end it was completely boiling.
Before the last ball point, his score was an incredible 21 points. He had only missed 2 goals in total, and one was a ball.
Curry made 5 of 3 shots on the last ball, setting his score at 27 points.
The 27 points also broke the previous record of 2008 points set by Kapono in the 25 Three-Point Contest.
Curry also shouted excitedly after taking the shot this time, and even turned around and bumped chests with Thompson who was about to play. The elementary school student was really awesome this time.
This is 27 points. Although the people further back have the initiative, the key is to be able to shoot.
Thompson, who came on the scene for the second time, touched his chest and felt a lot of pressure.
Then, there was no suspense about his performance, and he only scored 14 points in the end.
What is the pressure of a new historical record? No matter how good your psychological quality is, it is difficult to withstand it.
The camera showed Xu Yong, Xu Yong stood up and appeared on the stage, and the scene suddenly became extremely quiet.
A huge invisible pressure pressed on everyone.
Xu Yong's performance in the preliminaries was indeed amazing, but how could he score higher than 27 points?
Xu Yong walked to the first point, he exhaled, shook his arms, and let his body relax as much as possible.
Even if you know winning or losing doesn't matter, at this point, it's impossible to say there's no pressure.
"beep!"
The whistle sounded on the sidelines and the game officially started.
Everyone was staring at Xu Yong.
Xu Yong only scored 3 goals in the first point. Like Thompson, the impact of pressure cannot be avoided.
But the good news is that his final ball shot this time was successful.
And by the second point, Xu Yong gradually stabilized.
He doesn't have the performance of Curry to hit 10+ goals in a row, but he shoots every point very steadily, basically scoring between 4 and 5 points.
Before the last point, his score was 18 points, the same score as in the preliminaries.
This performance is good enough, but it is still too difficult to win.
Because the only chance is to hit all five flowers, but this probability is too small, and Xu Yong's last point in the preliminaries was 5 out of 3.
But Curry couldn't sit still at this time and stared at Xu Yong.
Although in theory he was basically guaranteed victory, Xu Yong's strong aura prevented him from relaxing until the end of the game.
On the court, Xu Yong felt that he had entered a state of selflessness.
That's not white-hot space, but what Kapono calls his own rhythm.
From the moment he picked up the first flower ball, he knew he could score when he took the shot.
"Shh!"
There was a crisp sound. Different from the preliminaries, Xu Yong’s first flower ball fell into the bag.
Then the second, the third...
As the ball was hit one after another, the fans at the scene began to boil uncontrollably.
After Xu Yong picked up the last ball, the cheers on the scene could no longer be stopped.
Really, one goal determines the outcome.
Because there were still more than 3 seconds left, Xu Yong paused for a moment with his last shot, and then shot it in front of everyone's eyes.
And after the throw, he still kept following the action.
The camera follows the ball, and the fans' eyes also follow the ball.
Two and a half turns, this is what Kapono calls the most perfect arc of rotation.
The basketball began to fall, just like the previous four balls, both its trajectory and trajectory were perfect.
"Shh!"
Basketball, hit the net.
28 points.
Lore!
Xu Yongjue killed Curry!
In a way that refreshed Curry's new three-point contest record!
Curry squatted down directly holding his head in disbelief.
Then the entire Barclays Center fell into a boil.
In the three-point contest of static confrontation, the final turned out to be a more exciting plot than the dynamic confrontation!
Bibo is burning! !
"I told you! I told you!"
Over at the commentary box, Barkley shouted excitedly to the other four people.
"Satan! Satan!"
Soon, a chorus of shouts erupted from the scene.
Xu Yong said last season that he wanted to win the three-point contest, and then he really did it.
Bird was the pressing king of the last century, but now, a new pressing king is born.
At this time, Xu Yong raised his hands and clenched his fists, welcoming the rush and shouts of the All-Stars on the sidelines.
After a while, the scene finally became quieter. He walked over to Curry, who had already stood up, and said with a smile: "Stephen, the second position belongs to you now."
