Chapter 205 King of Skills, Nash Template!

February 2, the second day of All-Star Weekend in Houston.

Because he has already achieved the Rookie Challenge MVP, Dunk King, Three-Point King, and All-Star MVP achievements in the past two years, now Duen is only one skills champion away from completing his achievements.

Therefore, the only event Du En signed up for this year was the skills challenge.

By the way, there are many new faces in this year’s Skills Challenge.

The four players participating are Nash, Duane, Wade, and Paul.

I heard that James originally wanted to participate in this Skills Challenge, but after researching the contestants of the Skills Challenge, he learned that Nash, the previous champion, would also participate, so nothing happened.

"Chris, don't be nervous, I'm sure you can do it.

The competition is no different from practicing in private. If you show your best condition, you may be able to reach the finals!

Come on, I look forward to seeing you in the finals. "

Before the skills challenge started, Du En, as a senior, had a few words with Paul.

In fact, this is not the first time that Du En has met Paul. As early as the previous regular season, Du En had played against Paul and had a few words face to face.

However, the two have only been together for a short time and have not established a stable friendship.

Du En has no idea of ​​playing brother basketball with Paul yet.

However, there are many friends and many paths, and taking advantage of Paul's youth, as a senior and big brother, to give Paul a few words of advice is not a bad thing.

"Brother, thank you so much! I just came here to show my face before, but now with your encouragement, I must reach the finals!"

The All-Star Weekend is a stage for rookies to showcase their strength and increase their exposure.

Paul, who is still only a first-year rookie, is no different from other rookies. He just wants to come to the All-Star Weekend to join in the fun.

As for reaching the finals of the Skills Challenge, it's just a casual talk.

The other three players participating in the skills challenge tonight are not weak. Duane is the regular season MVP, Wade is the Finals MVP, and Nash, although his regular season MVP was taken away by Duen, is also an All-Star player for several times. .

To be honest, in terms of skills alone, Paul, who has not yet reached his peak, does not have an advantage.

Next, Paul, who was just starting out and was the first to play, was also participating in the skills challenge for the first time and lacked experience in the competition, so his performance was relatively stretched.

In addition to basic dribbling, there were two or three mistakes in other items such as ground passing and shooting.

The whole process took Paul 38.4 seconds. Although it was better than Arenas last year, it was basically impossible to reach the finals.

"Chris, don't be discouraged. Practice more when you have time. You can come back next year. The future is bright."

Du En stroked Paul's head. Paul was frustrated, but showed no obvious resistance.

"Oh, I could have performed better. It still affected me after I came on the field... I can only come back next year!"

Paul wanted to tell Duen that his basic skills as a point guard were very good and he had no problem with his skills. His poor performance just now was because he was too nervous.

However, poor performance is a fact, and Paul acknowledges this.

At this time, Paul didn't want to continue to embarrass himself in front of Du En, so he could only promise Du En that he would continue to compete next year, know his shame and then be brave, and wash away today's shame.

"Dwyane, you won't let me down, will you?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely be better than this rookie Chris!"

Wade responded with a smile and mocked Paul.

As Du En's good brother, Wade felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw that Du En was particularly caring and caring about Paul.

How can this rookie He De be your brother?Shouldn't your brother be on the same level as me and Shaq?

After winning the championship and FMVP, Wade's self-confidence has undoubtedly expanded a lot. In other words, he will look down on some players who are several levels below him.

Of course, Wade's strength can indeed support him to do this now.

Tonight, although Wade participated in the Skills Challenge for the first time, he did not panic after taking the field.Having experienced the finals, now participating in the skills challenge is just a piece of cake.

It was also because he was relaxed and there was no pressure to play. Wade, who had been practicing in private for a long time, performed very well.

At the beginning, layups, passes, and dribbling around obstacles were all done at once. It wasn't until the point where he needed to shoot that Wade delayed a little.

However, overall it was much better than Paul, taking only 31.2 seconds.

"Brother, it depends on your performance next!"

After Wade participated in the preliminary round, he came to the sidelines and gave Du En a high-five.

Du En said confidently: "Last year, I was only one second away from winning the Skills Challenge trophy! This year, I am here to make up for this regret."

"I believe you have the strength, but I'm sorry, I've decided on this year's skill king!"

Obviously Wade has not yet reached the finals of the Skills Challenge, but he regards the Skills King as a winner in advance.

Duan believes in Nash's strength and should be able to complete the skills challenge within 30 seconds.

Therefore, as long as Dunn can beat Wade's preliminary result by one or two seconds, he will be able to see Wade's expression of joy when he learns that he cannot participate in the finals of the skills challenge.

Although they are good brothers, Du En will definitely have to work hard when he sees Wade being defeated.

Perhaps due to a slightly impatient mentality, Du En did not complete the preliminary round of the Rookie Challenge perfectly.

However, the overall situation was okay. Duan made two mistakes and the total time was 28.8 seconds, which was at least shorter than the time of Wade and Paul.

Even though Nash hasn't made a move yet, Duan has already booked a seat in the finals of the Skills Challenge in advance.

After Duen came off the court, Nash did not let Duen down.

As the last skill king, Nash completed all the events quickly and steadily, and even set a new record for the shortest time in the skill challenge again, this time only taking 24.6 seconds.

"Brother, come on for me!"

Du En patted Wade, who had a look of disbelief on his face, and then consciously walked to the starting point of the skills challenge.

After the referee confirmed that there was no mistake, Du En immediately took the ball and started to work.

Perhaps due to the warm-up completed in the preliminary round, Duan did not make any mistakes this time.

The most important passing and three-point items are all passed at once.

However, Du En is a striker after all, and he can dribble higher. When passing obstacles, he is not as fast as a defender.

When Duan finally hit the ball, the time displayed on the on-site monitor was 26.9 seconds, which was a full 2 ​​seconds behind Nash.

Just when Du En thought he was about to miss out on becoming the King of Skills again, Nash got into trouble!
Because the ground pass was not passed twice in a row, Nash missed the opportunity to retain the skill king.

By the time Nash completed all the items, it finally took 29.5 seconds.

Du En responded to all changes by remaining unchanged, winning every move, and defeated Nash in the final, becoming this year's skill king!

[Congratulations on winning the honor of skill king in the 2006 Houston All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest with a time of 26.9 seconds in the final! 】

[You have achieved the Skill King achievement and received a chance to draw a Skill King player template. Do you want to draw a lottery? 】

After winning the Skills Challenge trophy, Du En did not hesitate to draw the prize directly.

[Congratulations on getting the Steve Nash template! 】

"that's amazing!"

Although Nash's physical fitness is average, he is basically full of skills.

Nowadays, Duan has no shortage of physical talent, but in terms of shooting, whether it is mid-range or three-point shooting, he is still a little bit behind the top.

It just so happens that Nash, who was all red in the shooting hot zone during his peak period, can make up for Duan's "shortcomings" in shooting!
