Chapter 130 Three-point contest! Let them see the center's three-point shot! (55)

The previous individual events had little to do with Lin Chuan.

He was sitting on the sidelines the whole time.

Clap your hands and cheer with the fans.

I just took some photos and recorded a few short videos and posted them on Twitter.

Even if he was the biggest participant.

Seeing the skills challenge end and Lillard winning the championship for the Western Conference, Lin Chuan also joined in the applause.

But then, it was the turn of the third project of the day, and it was finally related to Lin Chuan.

Three-point contest!
After a brief withdrawal.

The venue was also rearranged.

The lights at the George Brown Center gradually dimmed.

immediately.

Amid the cheers from the Rockets' DJ, the contestants of the game were highlighted one by one in the spotlight.

"The West! The power forward from the Hornets! Last year's runner-up! Ryan Anderson!"

Ryan Anderson smiled and greeted the fans under the lights.

"Stephen Curry, the second-highest point guard in the league in three-point shooting percentage from the Warriors!"

Curry stood up and waved to everyone.

The smiling face made Lin Chuan understand why so many female fans liked him in later generations.

Maybe because the Rockets are also a Western Conference team, the order of introduction this time is Western Conference first and Eastern Conference second.

Next came Lin Chuan, who was in third place.

"The top player from China! He was selected to the All-Stars when he was a rookie! The most versatile player at the moment! Lin Chuan, the all-around center of the Thunder!"

The intense spotlight hit me.

Lin Chuan suddenly felt a vast expanse of white before his eyes.

Nothing can be seen clearly.

But it doesn't matter, just smile.

Lin Chuan couldn't open his eyes. He squinted his eyes and smiled as he greeted the fans at the scene.

The cheers in the stadium became louder and louder.

"Linchuan!"

"Linchuan!"

The fans are so enthusiastic not only because their team once produced a Chinese player, Yao Ming.

I naturally have some liking for Lin Chuan, who is also a center for China.

It is also because Lin Chuan is really good at playing basketball, which perfectly fits the American mentality of admiring the strong!

This also makes him have a lot of fans in the United States.

For the fans at the scene, he is the most famous player participating in this three-point shooting contest!
Then, the DJ introduced the three players from the East in order: Novak, Paul George, and Kyrie Irving.

Everyone participating in this competition is an expert at three-point shooting.

Even Paul George, who has the lowest three-point shooting percentage, has a 36.7% three-point shooting percentage.

It also stands out from the crowd in the alliance.

Even if everyone is a three-point expert.

But Lin Chuan still focused on one person.

Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers.

In Lin Chuan's impression.

The champion of this year's three-point contest is him, Kyrie Irving!
I got 23 points in the final round, which is quite accurate.

Curry, the No. 1 three-point king in history, did not perform well in this game.

Only ranked third in the group.

That is the last one.

They didn't even make it out of the group and into the second round.

Lin Chuan moved his wrists and ankles a few times to warm up.

Prepare for the next game.

You know, his three-point shooting ability is only over 80 points, so he still needs some preparation if he wants to defeat a few people in this game!
Amid the cheers of the audience.

The game officially begins.

The game started with the players from the East.

The first is Paul George.

For him, many fans at the scene didn't pay much attention.

There is no other reason, because Paul George was only drafted in 2010.

Having played in the NBA for less than three years, the audience naturally has no impression of him.

Today, I don’t know if it was because of his lack of strength or because the pressure of being stared at by so many fans was too great, but he became nervous.

After shooting all the balls, he only got 10 points.

You should know that the current three-point shooting contest rules have a total of five shooting points, and each point has a colored ball.

The total score was 30 points.

He only got 1/3, and his open three-point shooting percentage was only around 30%.

An absolute malfunction.

And these 10 points are enough to declare that Paul George will be eliminated in the first round.

Paul George was obviously frustrated to see that he only scored so few points.

But he is still young and has many opportunities in the future.

The second player to come on stage was Novak.

Simply scored 17 points.

Announced Paul George's elimination.

Irving then scored one more point, scoring 18 points to eliminate Novak in the same division.

This side of the west.

Curry was the first to play, but his touch today was obviously average.

Only got 17 points.

Then the runner-up of last season's three-point contest scored 18 points to eliminate Curry.

It’s finally my turn!
Lin Chuan rubbed his hands to make them warmer.

He hasn't been that nervous about a game in a long time.

It’s nothing, just his three-point shooting ability is not good enough.

If his three-point shooting ability could reach 99 points, he wouldn't be nervous.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and stood up from his seat.

The fans at the scene began to cheer.

Chinese center!

Let them feel familiar and at ease.

"call……"

Lin Chuan stood in the left corner, ready to start.

After signaling to the referee, Lin Chuan immediately took the ball and started shooting.

"Shh!"

The first ball was easily scored.

Anderson narrowed his eyes.

I didn’t expect that Lin Chuan’s three-point shot was quite accurate.

"You won't overtake me!"

"Uh-huh!!!"

"Uh-huh!!!"

"clang!"

Lin Chuan has a good feel!

Three goals were scored right at the start!
But it didn’t continue.

Then the fourth ball missed.

It was the turn of the last colored ball, and Lin Chuan grabbed the basketball.

Take a deep breath and then strike steadily.

Lin Chuan still seized the opportunity and shot the ball into the net.

The first point, four out of five!

Get 5 points!
At the moment the ball was shot, Lin Chuan didn't care whether it was scored or not, and hurriedly trotted to the second three-point point on the wing.

After standing still, Lin Chuan grabbed the basketball beside him.

Stabilize your posture.

Shot!

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

It feels good in hand.

The first two balls at the second point also all hit.

Seeing these moves, Anderson from the same group suddenly became nervous.

But then, worried that there was not enough time, Lin Chuan, who was a little anxious, missed three consecutive shots.

7 points!
The third point.

Located at the top of the arc.

This is Linchuan’s dessert area.

This season he has taken open three-pointers from the top of the arc countless times to punish the opponent's retreating defense.

In this position, Lin Chuan's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 47%, which is higher than his other three-point shooting positions.

Even his corner three-point shooting percentage is worse than this.

Lin Chuan was completely relaxed and scored five goals in a row from the top of the arc.

13 points!
There are two more points, totaling 12 points.

Lin Chuan's chances of qualifying are increasing rapidly!
Can it be more than 18 points?

Lin Chuan ran to the fourth point.

After standing still, he picked up the original colored basketball.

Shot!

"Shh!"
