Legendary star

Chapter 71 3 Points Contest Champion

"Is Meng a little nervous?" When Meng Xu came on the court, after making 5 of 1 shots at the first point, Larry Bird in the commentary was also a little nervous about Meng Xu, and he was a little embarrassed. Just now I was so sure that Meng Xu would at least make it to the finals.

"This kid won't break Jordan's record for the lowest score." The reporter from the New York Chronicle in the press booth had a teasing expression on his face.Watching Meng Xu running from the first shooting point to the second shooting point, he kept rubbing his hands. Even the reporter of the San Antonio Sports News, who was very supportive of Meng Xu, lost confidence now.

Standing in front of the second point, Meng Xu took a deep breath and tried to calm down his slightly nervous mood. The 2-degree angle of the two 2-point lines and the top of the arc are all shooting areas that Meng Xu is very good at. In normal training It can guarantee a hit rate of more than 3%, and maintains a very high hit rate even in the game.

While the audience and reporters were waiting for Meng Xu to make a fool of himself, Meng Xu made a decisive shot at the second point. With the sound of swishing, Meng Xu made all 2 shots at the second point. At the top of the arc, he made all 2 shots again. After completing the 5 shots, Meng Xu has already scored 5 points.

"It seems that it is still possible for this little guy to enter the final." Originally, he had no hope for Meng Xu, but Craig Hodges, the three-time 3-point champion, also had a glimmer of hope in his heart.The press booth at the scene was also silent, and the New York Chronicle reporter who was mocking Meng Xu for breaking Jordan's 3-point record just now was also red-faced.

And at the fourth point, Meng Xu missed the first shot, and made all the next 4 shots, which also increased his score to 4 points, leaving only 18 points behind Nowitzki .

"It's a good thing I don't have a heart attack. Otherwise, I'd be really scared by this guy." Larry Bird said with a smile when he saw Meng Xu returning to his seat and giving Iverson a high-five.Just now when Meng Xu shot at the last point, all the first two shots were hit, and after the third shot was hit, the fourth shot was also hit again. It was not until the last ball was hit that Meng Xu finally surpassed Nuo with 2 points. Wicki got the last ticket to the final.

At this moment, Meng Xu was wiping the sweat off his head. Just before the last point started, Meng Xu was still hesitating whether to use the 3-point shooting card. In the end, Meng Xu decided to challenge himself. Meng Xu was a little dissatisfied with his 5-of-2 field goal percentage despite making it to the finals.

"Meng, come on." After a short break, the final of the 3-point contest also began, and Meng Xu will be the first to play. The moment Meng Xu left his seat, Dirk Nowitzki and Mike Bibby were also on the sidelines. Cheer for Meng Xu behind him.

"This 3-point contest exposed a big weakness of Meng." Meng Xu, who was the first to play, hit all 4 shots before the first point, and only relied on the last ball to score 2 points.

"Yes, it seems that near the bottom corner is Meng's shortcoming. Including this round of shooting, Meng made 15 of 4 shots near the bottom corner. If it is in the game, the shooting percentage may be even lower."

"If Meng's corner shot can be better, I think there is basically no suspense in this game." At the moment when Larry Bird and Craig Hodges were talking, Meng Xu made a 45-degree arc on the left At the top two points, all 10 shots were hit. If counting the last ball at the first point, Meng Xu has hit 11 consecutive shots. It is about to break the record created by Mark Price in the 94 3-point contest. The record of hitting 13 goals in a row.

When the DJ played Mark Price's record, the fans spontaneously shouted "12, 12, 12"

When Meng Xu stood at the 4th point, there was a small fluctuation in his heart, because Meng Xu finally found the selfless shooting feeling that Anna said in this shooting contest, the feeling of forgetting everything. It's an incredible feeling.

After Meng Xu hit the first shot steadily, the audience burst into cheers, and then shouted again in unison: "13, 13, 13."

But this time Meng Xu's shot was a little shorter. Amidst the regretful voices of the audience, Ming Xu hit the remaining 4 goals at the 2th point. After the 4 points were shot, Meng Xu scored 18 points. The score has a high probability of winning the championship before the usual, but it is not safe this year, because both Ray Allen and Jeff Hornacek have very good shooting touch in this game, especially Jay Fern? Hornacek even broke the scoring record in the first round.

"20 points is not a safe score." Craig Hodges also shook his head when he saw Meng Xu standing on the last shooting point. Although Meng Xu had already scored 18 points, the corner shot was not enough Good Meng Xu was able to score 2 points at the last point, in Craig Hodges' view, it was all luck.

"Maybe a miracle will happen, not necessarily." Larry Bird looked at Meng Xu's back intently, not knowing what to write.

"Ding, the All-Star 3-point shot card has taken effect, and the host will have a 100% chance to hit the next 5 shots." After hearing a pleasant system prompt, a smile appeared on the corner of Meng Xu's mouth.

"What happened?" Just after Meng Xu was about to throw the first ball, facing the audience on Meng Xu's side, he exclaimed, and on the bench, several players participating in the 3-point contest were excited Craig Hodges didn't know what happened to Meng Xu because Meng Xu's back was facing the commentary booth, which deserved the audience's exclamation.

Soon on the big screen at the scene, the answer to the mystery was revealed. Meng Xu's face appeared on the big screen, but his eyes were tightly closed.

"Is this kid ready to give up?" The reporter of the New York Times was still sitting in his final death throes.

But when Meng Xu hit the first goal, the audience burst into cheers. At this time, Meng Xu ignored everything on the field and entered the state of selflessness again.

"TWO" Just after Meng Xu hit the second goal, someone yelled loudly, and then the audience all yelled.

"three"

Every time "four" Meng Xu hits a goal, the audience will shout in unison.

"five" After Meng Xu hit the last goal, the entire Oakland Stadium erupted into thunderous applause and cheers. Meng Xu's phrase "I can win the championship with my eyes closed" has long been accepted by all players under the rendering of the media. Fans are familiar with it, and Meng Xu's behavior today is obviously in response to his promise before the game.

"It's really incredible." Craig Hodges had already stood up from the commentary booth, joined the ranks of the audience, and applauded Meng Xu.

"This little guy is even more arrogant than me." Larry Bird clapped his palms and let out a sigh. Obviously in Larry Bird's heart, Meng Xu's consecutive missed 3-point shots from the bottom corner were deliberately disguised. , After Meng Xu made a closed-eyed shot from the last corner, it was obviously a big slap, and he slapped the faces of the crowd who laughed at him.

"Shooting with your eyes closed, it turned out to be shooting with your eyes closed." The reporter of the San Antonio Sports News also looked excited, and the reporter of the New York Times next to him also applauded Meng Xu unwillingly. Meng Xu's closed eyes at the last moment The eye shot hit everyone in the face, and this comrade reporter was the hardest hit. Now we can only hope that Ray Allen and Jeff Hornacek can defeat this arrogant boy. Thinking of this, comrade reporter once again Shaking his head, Meng Xu scored 5 points after making all 24 shots at the last point, tying the record for the highest scoring in the All-Star 3-point contest. The mentality of Ray Allen and Jeff Hornacek cannot be unaffected. With an unbalanced mentality, there is almost no hope of getting high scores.

After that, Ray Allen and Jeff Hornacek also made mistakes again and again. The defending champion Jeff Hornacek even made 3 non-stick shots. The two scored 3 points and 11 points.

"I give full marks to this pretense." Anna's voice suddenly appeared in Meng Xu's ear after seeing Meng Xu holding up the All-Star 3-point contest champion's trophy amidst the cheers of the audience.
