The All-Star Weekend has come to the second day.
Today, the main competitions are the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest.
The Skills Challenge tests the basic skills of the guards.
Dribbling, passing, shooting, layups and other items will be tested.
Unlike later generations, when centers often participated, this year's players participating in the Skills Challenge are all guards.
The scene of big men such as Towns, Porzingis, and Adebar winning the Skills Challenge may still happen, but today, this is destined to be a competition between guards.
The players participating in the Skills Challenge this year are Rockets Jeremy Lin, Hawks Teague, Trail Blazers Lillard, Pistons Knight, 76ers Jrue Holiday and defending champion Parker.
There are three players from each of the East and West.
Today, Jeremy Lin has the "home advantage"!
After all, this is Houston!
Whether he can be crowned the "King of Skills" at home is a major highlight of the game.
But it is also destined to be not easy.
In the preliminaries, three players from the East took the lead, with Holiday taking the lead.
Holiday had a good start, taking 29.3 seconds in total.
Breaking into 30 seconds, "Judy" has a high chance of reaching the finals.
Hawks' Teague may have been too nervous, making mistakes in both passing and shooting, and finally took 49.4 seconds to complete the challenge.
With such a result, he is destined to be eliminated in the first round.
His expression was full of loneliness. If he were given another chance, he would definitely not make mistakes.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Knight was the last player to play in the East. He successfully completed all the projects without making mistakes, but his speed was not as fast as Holiday, taking 32.2 seconds.
Among the Western players, Jeremy Lin, who played at home, took the first place.
As soon as he stepped onto the court, the fans at the scene cheered.
In Houston, his popularity is definitely not low.
This is also his first opportunity to appear at the All-Star Weekend, and the home fans are full of expectations for him.
However, he failed to seize the opportunity, and spent more time on the three-pointer, and finally spent a total of 35.8 seconds.
Such a result is quite satisfactory.
His All-Star journey also ended here, after all, he could not enter the finals with such a result.
The Trail Blazers' cousin Lillard completed it smoothly, without any mistakes, and only took 28.8 seconds. He was the best player in the preliminaries and has secured a place in the finals.
The defending champion Parker came out last, and the audience was looking forward to Parker's defense and winning two consecutive championships.
But the "French supercar" turned over!
His layup was "blocked" by the basket! It was jaw-dropping.
Duncan and Ginobili, who were sitting on the sidelines, laughed, and Duncan looked around.
He laughed a little bit wildly just now, but it was because he couldn't help it.
And the referee didn't notice him, otherwise he would have been given a technical foul.
On the court, Parker's footsteps continued.
Perhaps because of the missed layup, his mentality was affected. His subsequent performance was very average, and he failed to make the final three-pointer for the first time.
In the end, the defending champion took 48.7 seconds and was eliminated in the first round.
The final was between the two players with the best results, that is, Brother Holiday and Little Cousin.
Brother Holiday entered the NBA in 2009, while Little Cousin was selected by the Trail Blazers last year.
Cold knowledge: Brother Holiday entered the NBA three years earlier than Little Cousin, but the brothers are the same age, both born in 1990.
In front of the "predecessor" Brother Holiday, Little Cousin is a complete rookie.
Who made Brother Holiday go to college for so long?
The final of the skills competition was between these two peers.
Brother Holiday, who had the second best result in the preliminaries, played first.
He repeated the previous action, but Brother Holiday failed to maintain the good results in the preliminaries. He shot two three-pointers before hitting.
Brother Holiday failed to break 30 seconds, and the total time was 35.6 seconds.
Before entering the court, the little cousin smiled evilly, and his face was full of confidence.
In the bottom corner, the little cousin was ready and waiting for the whistle.
The referee blew the whistle, and the little cousin began to move, taking the ball, layup, passing, pitching, dribbling around the pole...
The little cousin completed it neatly without any mistakes.
Although he failed to replicate the good results in the preliminaries, he also broke 30 seconds, and the total time was fixed at 29.7 seconds.
The ownership of the champion is already clear at a glance.
The little cousin defeated Brother Holiday, who is the same age as him but has three years more experience than him, and was crowned the champion of the skills challenge.
The little cousin held up the trophy, his face full of confidence.
Winning this skills challenge is the beginning of my fame in the NBA!
Next, it’s the three-point contest!
