Chapter 95 The three-point contest begins

Du Zhe couldn't help but sigh: "After all, he is the king who can perform the return of the king in the finals. He has a really good temperament."

When he thought of this, Du Zhe, who was still laughing, couldn't hold back at all, and the snicker in his heart turned into a blatant laugh.

This smile confused Pierce, but his attitude was still arrogant: "Are you scared out of your wits? What are you laughing at?"

"Hahahaha..." Du Zhe, who was laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up straight, held the shoulders of Curry, who looked confused, and barely squeezed out a few words from his mouth.

"It's nothing... I just admire you. I admire you. In the finals... you pooped all over your pockets and you were able to fill your pussy smoothly!"

Du Zhe couldn't help laughing every time he recalled the truth behind Paul Pierce's return of the king in the 08 Finals.

To others, what Du Zhe said was confusing and incomprehensible.

But in Pierce's ears, it was like a thunderclap.

In the 08 Finals between the Celtics and Lakers,

After a confrontation, Pierce fell to the ground and was directly lifted off the field by his teammates.

He covered his face in pain and even shed tears when he left the field. This scene made many Celtics fans worry.

But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

Not long after the injury, Pierce returned to the scene in full swing. Celtics fans stood up and applauded their hero.

After returning, Pierce was in hot form. He scored 15 points in a single quarter after coming on the court, leading the Celtics to widen the point gap with the Lakers and establishing the victory in one fell swoop.

The classic drama of the return of the king that he performed has since been talked about by the media and fans, and has become a legend in the league.

But the truth of the matter is not the case. In fact, Pierce was on the field at the time, but he simply couldn't control himself, and he accidentally had diarrhea.

The so-called return of the king after injury is just that he changed his pants after coming off the field and took the opportunity to relieve some pressure in the toilet.

Of course, only a few Celtics players know about this kind of thing now. Pierce can't figure out how Du Zhe, a rookie who just came to the league, could know such team secrets.

But no matter what, those few words Du Zhe just said intermittently undoubtedly hit Pierce's lungs.

Fortunately, his skin was dark, so even if he blushed fiercely, it was not very noticeable.

"You, what are you talking nonsense about, kid! I can't understand what you are saying at all..." Although Pierce was still stubborn, his attitude was obviously much softer.

After saying this harsh word, he didn't dare to tangle with Du Zhe anymore, and went straight to the other side of the line, fearing to avoid Du Zhe.

However, this little episode brought by Pierce made Du Zhe relax a lot. At least he was not as nervous as before the start of the game.

Soon, the first round of the three-point contest officially began.

Pierce was the first to appear in order.

Just now, he wanted to use verbal attacks to dampen Du Zhe's spirit, but he didn't expect that it would backfire in the end, and Du Zhe would become unstable.

At the first shooting point, Pierce obviously hadn't recovered yet. His shooting rhythm was obviously wrong, and he only made one of five shots.

But Pierce is a seasoned veteran after all, and he quickly adjusted his state after a bad start.

In the next few shooting spots, he got better and better, and finally scored 17 points.

Followed by Chauncey Billups, whose shooting rhythm was just the opposite of Pierce's. On the first shot point, Billups went straight to four of five shots.

But then his touch began to gradually decline. In the end, Billups also scored 17 points, and the two FMVPs who played first were tied.

In the 09-10 season, the three-point contest still has five fixed shooting points, and each point has four ordinary balls and one flower ball.

According to the rules of 1 point for ordinary balls and 2 points for flower balls, the total score of the game is 30 points.

Although the 17 points scored by Pierce and Billups are not high scores, under normal circumstances, there is generally no problem in entering the finals.

Next came center Channing Frye.

Channing Frye had great momentum as soon as he came on the field. He made all 5 shots from the first shooting point and scored 6 points.

But later Frye didn't know what medicine he took wrongly. Although his shooting percentage was still very good, many goals were invalidated because he stepped on the line.

Maybe as a center, Frye's feet are indeed a bit too big.

As a result, Frye only scored 15 points in the end, temporarily ranking last.

After the game of several veteran players, it was the turn of the two rookies Curry and Du Zhe to perform.

As a first-round pick, Curry took the lead. As a newborn calf, he was not timid at all when facing the two FMVPs in front of him.

Although he was unlucky at the first point, he only hit one of the five flowers.

However, his touch continued to pick up in the follow-up, and he came from behind with 18 points in the end, ranking first for the time being.

And the fifth one to appear was Du Zhe.

His appearance still caused a small commotion among the fans at the scene.

After all, he just scored [-] points yesterday and won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge. He can also be regarded as a small celebrity during the All-Star Weekend.

The audience is looking forward to whether this young man from a strange country in the East can create another miracle today.

Standing at the first shooting point, Du Zhe took a deep breath, and then signaled that the timer could start.

With the signal that the timer started, Du Zhe picked up the basketball on the rack without hesitation and started shooting.

Unfortunately, the first ball was not hit.

Different from usual training, the high-pressure and tense environment faced during the game made Du Zhe's shots slightly deformed.

So for the second ball, Du Zhe paused for a moment and readjusted his shooting rhythm.

Although doing so wasted some time, it allowed Du Zhe to regain his shooting feeling during training.

"Swipe!" The second shot went into the net hollow.

But Pierce smiled disdainfully, so what if Du Zhe hit the ball?
According to this shooting speed, Du Zhe might not have time to go to the last two shooting spots to shoot.

But Pierce soon stopped laughing. Du Zhe, who regained his rhythm, made his shots faster and more steadily.

Du Zhe hit all the last four goals of the first shooting point and scored 5 points.

But Billups was calm. After all, with the examples of Frye and himself in front of him, he did not believe that Du Zhe could maintain stable performance.

But then in the 45-degree shot from the wing, Du Zhe, who completely opened up his touch, played as steadily as ever.

There was no one in front of him, only the lone basket. This kind of three-pointer was easy for Du Zhe, who had already mastered open three-pointers.

He hit all five shots and scored 11 points with just two shots.
