The perfect life of basketball

Chapter 429 The strongest three-point contest in history! ! !

After winning the championship, Antetokounmpo thanked one person sincerely when he delivered his acceptance speech.

in his words

"I have never been complacent about my achievements, because there is a person who is much stronger than me, but he is still working hard to become stronger. I am very grateful to him for spurring me on my growth path!"

Although Brother Antetokounmpo didn't name that person by name, everyone knew who that person was.

When Antetokounmpo first spoke, the three elders were a little angry, because they did a lot of targeted training for Antetokounmpo for this competition.

But after Antetokounmpo finished speaking, they were all relieved.

Without the encouragement of Ye Yingjie, an "idol", no matter how much training they designed for Brother Antetokounmpo, it would be useless.

When Brother Antetokounmpo came to the sidelines with the trophy and sat down, the three elders wanted to take the opportunity to scold Ye Yingjie. After all, there were not many trophies that Ye Yingjie had not won, and the championship trophy of the Skills Challenge was one of them.

Ye Yingjie, who was going to participate in the three-point contest, escaped temporarily. When Brother Antetokounmpo participated in the skill challenge competition, Ye Yingjie had already changed his equipment in the locker room.

Emmm... The most important thing is the all-star special edition of "Tai Ah No. [-]" with golden lights that blind everyone's eyes.

Curry and others in the locker room looked at Ye Yingjie's sneakers enviously.

The players participating in the three-point contest this time can be said to be the strongest overall.

In addition to Ye Yingjie and Curry, the other six people are Korver, who is known as "the second most accurate man on earth", Klay Thompson, the "Buddha who can shoot the most", and JJ Redick, the "cold-blooded three-point killer". , "Uncle Drew" Owen, "Round Face" Eric Gordon, "Three-Point Shooter" Anthony Morrow.

Irving, the "least accurate" of the eight of them, also made 41.5% of his three-pointers this season!Ranked ninth among all players in three-point shooting percentage!

Emmm. . .Among the top nine players in three-point shooting percentage, only Danny Green of the Spurs did not participate in the three-point contest. It can only be said that Mr. Bobo is a good discipliner. He usually takes turns and should rest more during the All-Star weekend. . .

Korver, who used to be teammates with Ye Yingjie, joked: "Jie, your new sneakers are so handsome, don't you consider giving me a pair?"

"No problem." Ye Yingjie agreed without thinking.

Looking at the slightly envious eyes of others, Ye Yingjie answered, "Everyone has one, I'll arrange someone to deliver it to you later!"

The others quickly thanked him, and even Klay Thompson, who had been at odds with Ye Yingjie, thanked him politely.

Among them, the one with the most complicated mood was jj-Redick, who was left with a lot of psychological shadow by Ye Yingjie when he was in the Magic team.

But just now he read the kindness in Ye Yingjie's eyes, let everything pass by.

After long-awaited calls, the three-point contest finally began.

The first to appear is Irving. He averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game this season, ranking sixth in the league.

Owen also made careful preparations today, and even dressed up as his classic "Uncle Drew", but this really didn't help him too much. I don't know if it is because the knights have consumed too much energy recently. Got 22 points.

In previous years, this score was basically stable in the finals, but because of the restructuring, the current total score has become 34 points, and this year's overall strength has improved by leaps and bounds, this score is really hard to say!

Owen ended up with a dissatisfied face. He was obviously not very satisfied with this score.

Anthony Morrow of the Thunder played next. His three-point shooting percentage reached 43.7%, more than 2 percentage points higher than Irving!
However, the three-point contest is not a place to compare shooting percentages, and the psychological ability to withstand pressure is also greatly affected!
Dangdang~
Anthony Morrow hit the iron repeatedly and scored only 20 points. When he was off the court, his face was uglier than Irving's, because this year his score is basically a farewell to the finals.

Barkley commented in the TNT studio: "This sharpshooter seems a little nervous. I don't know if he forgot to bring the scope today."

dang dang dang dang~

As if cursed by Barkley, Redick, who played third, also had a stiff posture and only scored 17 points!
At the end of the game, the camera showed Owen, and Uncle Drew's expression calmed down a lot. If the players behind him were all at this level, he still had hope of making it to the finals.

As if following Irving's wishes, the three-point shooting rate was as high as 44.8%, second only to Ye Yingjie and Korver, who ranked third in the overall list. Missed, only got 15 points!
In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith began to complain: "The gap between these players and superstars lies in their ability to withstand stress. Except for Irving, the shooting posture of the next three players is obviously a bit deformed. They are too nervous!"

O'Neill added: "Maybe I can shoot better than them!"

Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at O'Neill at the same time, and said in unison, "We didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

O'Neill immediately laughed, "Just kidding."

The game continues amidst their gags.

The next player to play is "the second most accurate man on earth" Korver. His three-point shooting percentage this season has remained at a very high level, reaching 49.3%!

But now fans don't believe so much in the three-point shooting percentage in the regular season. Haven't you seen that Irving, who has the lowest shooting percentage, is now ranked first?
"Shua, Shua, Shua...Dang, Dang, Dang!"

Korver was very accurate at the beginning, but I don't know why he became iron later, and only scored 17 points.

The Big Three of TNT gave another boost.

Three points is indeed destined...

No matter how accurate you are in normal times, you may not be able to perform well in the three-point contest... too much chance.

The most comfortable one at this time is Irving. As long as the following three people are one more iron, he will be able to enter the finals!

Although he didn't dare to hope for the championship, it was an honor to enter the finals.

Klay Thompson was the third from last to play. Although his current three-point shooting percentage is only fifth, he can rank third in three-point shooting, second only to Ye Yingjie and Curry.

Compared with the previous players, Klay Thompson was obviously much more stable. He hit all the last five balls and scored a current high of 24 points!
Owen's heart tightened, MMP, it's dangerous!

Come on Curry!
As for Ye Yingjie, who was as stable as a tiger, Owen knew that it was harder for him to be iron than not.

After Curry played, the audience obviously behaved differently. Facing last year's defending champion, there were endless cheers and applause!
Curry did not disappoint them either!

Take the ball and shoot!

Take the ball and shoot!

Curry's rhythm is very good, and his shooting rate is also very high!
Among them, he even hit 12 goals in a row! ! !
If Curry missed two goals at the last point, his score would be even higher.

Even so, Curry's score reached 26 points!
This score can also be ranked second in history!

Then there was a tsunami of cheers from Barclays Center, as if someone had won the three-point contest.

On the court, Ye Yingjie, the "Three-Point Warrior" made his debut.

Before the game, the fans felt a completely different momentum!
