Chapter 120 The 3-point leader, the All-Star Game begins!
Chapter 120 The three-point king, the All-Star Game begins!
As soon as Lu Yi came up, he broke the record for the highest score in the three-point long-range shooting contest.
This will inevitably affect the next five contestants, especially Curry and Gallinari, the two rookies who participated in the three-point long-range shooting competition for the first time.
Since Gallinari is a sophomore and Curry is a first-year, Curry is next on the court.
When Curry came on the court, there was still a hint of disbelief on the baby's face.
Although I was preparing for this three-point long-range shooting contest in Oakland before, I made many 25 shots.
However, there is still a big difference between the feeling of participating in the competition and training by yourself.
As soon as he played now, Curry felt a little dazed, and his mind was foggy and blurred.
"Please get ready, the timing is about to start!" The on-site referee also gave Curry a final reminder.
Curry picked up the ball, made a good shot, and then said: "Okay, let's start!"
The referee signaled the start of the game, and Curry immediately threw the ball.
I don't know if it was because of nervousness or a problem with the feel, Curry hit the iron as soon as he came up with the first ball.
Seeing the iron strike, Curry hesitated a little when he was about to throw the second ball.
It took about a second for Curry to make another shot.
60 balls in 25 seconds, counting the time of movement, each ball has only 2 seconds of shooting time.
You know, it takes basically 0.6 seconds to 1.5 seconds for the ball to fly from the three-point line to the basket.
If you can't get into the net hollowly, delay subsequent shots, or the shot is too slow, it is absolutely impossible to shoot 60 balls in 25 seconds.
Players like Curry, who are ready to participate in the three-point long-range shooting contest, also rely on many times of practice beforehand to be able to complete 60 shots in 25 seconds.
However, this has great requirements on the shooting rhythm.
Obviously, Curry's shooting rhythm is out of order now.
When he realized that there was not enough time later, Curry took the initiative to speed up his shots, which would also affect the hit rate of subsequent shots.
Fortunately, after hitting two irons in a row, Curry gradually found the feeling of shooting.
For the first point, all the subsequent 3 balls will be shot, because the flower ball is worth 2 points, and the first point is 4 points.
At the second point, Curry made all the shots and was in a hot state, scoring 6 points.
In this way, 10 points have already been scored, and it seems that it is expected to surpass Lu Yi's score.
However, at the top of the arc, Curry made a three-point shot on his first shot.
Although he scored 2 consecutive goals in the follow-up, the fourth and fifth goals hit the iron again.
After three points, Curry only scored 12 points.
The most important thing is that there are only 20 seconds left.
Curry obviously noticed the tight time when he was hitting the iron. In the next fourth point, Curry obviously accelerated his shooting speed.
Then, like Lu Yi, the two balls collided together.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Curry was even more impatient when he made a mistake in his busy schedule.
Fortunately, the broken pot behind broke, but including the flower ball, he scored 3 goals in a row.
In this way, another 4 points were earned.
With 16 points in hand, there is still one point left. As for the time, there are still 10 seconds, so there is still time.
In the last point, Curry has no other problems except that he shot a little faster.
After throwing all 5 balls, although 2 balls were hit, all the balls were thrown within the specified time.
The key point is that Curry scored another 4 points after hitting the flower ball.
In this way, with a total of 20 points, although there is still some distance from Lu Yi, but at least 20 points, it is not hopeless to advance to the second round.
After Curry, Gallinari played next.
Gallinari was also out of shape at the beginning. He missed 3 shots just for the first point. Fortunately, he made a flower ball and finally scored 3 points.
The second point is that he only missed one ball. The key is that the missed ball happened to be the bouquet.
Seeing Gallinari's poor performance, Curry will inevitably gloat, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After that, Gallinari did not disappoint Curry, and stumbled and shot all the balls. Although there was still 1 second left, he only had 16 points.
After the three rookies and the cast, if the next three veterans are not too hip, then Gallinari must be eliminated.
Among other things, there is also the champion of the last three-point long-range shooting contest, which is very telling.
Gallinari also knows that if he fails to surpass Curry's scoring, he is doomed to participate in the three-point long-range shooting competition this time, and he has already finished his soy sauce.
Soon, it was Billups' turn to play.
Although Billups has fmvp in hand, so does Pierce.
In terms of star quality, Pierce is still above Billups.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
Although Cook is only a role player, he is the defending champion of the three-point long-range shooting contest after all.
It is not in dispute that the previous champion played last.
brush brush --
A player with a big heart, Billups has participated in the three-point long-range shooting competition not once or twice.
Although he didn't get any good results, it was not difficult to pass the first round.
Billups was not affected by Lu Yi, and scored 5 goals in a row as soon as he came up.
But at the second point, maybe the shooting rhythm was not right, and he missed 4 balls in a row, and he didn't hit the ball until the fifth ball.
For the next three points, Billups wanted to shoot more accurately, so he slightly reduced his shooting speed.
But I don't want to, the time has expired.
Only three balls were thrown at the fifth point, and the time was up.
Billups threw the ball after a timeout, but the referee said it didn't count.
Calculating the total score of the previous 23 goals, Billups only had 17 points, surpassing Gallinari.
In this way, whether Billups can advance to the final depends on the faces of Pierce and Cook.
Pierce was similar to Billups, driving high and low, hitting all the first points, but then began to strike iron one after another.
In the end, after all the balls were shot at the buzzer, there were only 17 points.
If Cook scores less than 17 points, it will be Pierce who will advance to the final.
Because Pierce's overall shooting percentage was higher, Billups scored more balls to score 17 points.
As for Cook scoring more than 17 points, he will naturally advance with Lu Yi and Curry.
Interestingly, however, Cook eventually shot 17 points.
And because they hit the same number of shots as Pierce, the two had to play another round.
No one expected that today's three-point long-range shooting competition would have such a similar plot of driving high and low.
The two rookies who played first determined the promotion places from the beginning.
The three veterans who were "desired by everyone" struggled very hard and were not satisfactory.
When it came to the play-off stage, the defending champion was even better in the end.
Pierce was in poor form, making 25 of 10 shots and only scoring 12 points.
Cook made 25 of 15 shots and scored 19 points.
In this way, the final quota has also been officially determined.
The first pick is Lu Yi, the second pick is Curry, and the third pick is Cook.
Although Cook is the defending champion, after all, he had the worst score in the preliminary competition, so he came first in the final.
If Cook can do what Lu Yi did in the first round, grab the head start and squeeze the audience, then maybe Cook will be able to win the three-pointer again.
It's a pity that Cook threw three rounds in a row, but he didn't warm up his hands.
Cook still made 25 of 15 shots, but because he missed two balls, he only scored 18 points.
When it was Curry's turn, he was better than Cook.
In the first three points, he made 13 consecutive shots. Just when the audience thought that Curry was about to break through and win the three-point champion in an upset, Curry suddenly lost power again.
Missed 3 shots in a row and dunked one of the balls.
After that, the touch continued, but not completely.
In the end, he made 25 of 19 shots and scored a high score of 23 points.
In previous years, Curry is expected to win the three-pointer.
It's a pity that Curry met Lu Yi.
Lu Yi, who appeared last, did not disappoint the fans.
As soon as Lu Yi came up, he hit 10 shots in a row, and didn't miss one until the 11th.
Although he failed to hit 13 consecutive goals like Curry did, Lu Yi only missed one shot and continued to feel good.
Next, Lu Yi scored 8 goals in a row, although he missed a more critical ball.
Ke Luyi withstood the pressure again and continued to hit the next ball.
It wasn't until the last point and missed another shot that Lu Yi ended this three-point long-range shooting competition.
In the end, Lu Yi made 25 of 22 shots and broke the final scoring record again, scoring 26 points.
"Congratulations, Lu Yi! Will you come again next year?" Curry, as Lu Yi's biggest competitor on the road to winning the three-pointer, was the first to run over to congratulate Lu Yi.
With this attitude, it can be seen that Curry is not an ordinary person.
"I will, I should participate in two more. However, I want to say, you have no chance to steal the honor of the three-point leader from me!"
"Really? I don't believe it!"
Lu Yi said very seriously, and Curry answered very seriously.
Curry felt that the loss to Lu Yi this time was because he was nervous and didn't perform well because he was participating for the first time.
If the All-Star Game is held at the Warriors' home court and participates in the three-point long-range shooting competition, he will definitely perform better than Lu Yi.
After all, Curry has made too many 25-of-25 shots during training for the game.
It's a pity that in Dallas, he didn't play so well.
As for Lu Yi's rhetoric of winning three consecutive three-pointers, Curry also knows that this is Lu Yi's heart.
As a shooter who is good at shooting, Curry also believes that when he wins the three-pointer, he will also have this idea.
When he wins consecutive three-pointers and wins the same number of three-pointers as Larry Bird, Curry will also publicly announce that he will no longer participate in the three-point long-range shooting competition.
"Maybe I will get three three-pointers in front of you!" Curry said suddenly.
"Thinking too much! It's also daydreaming and whimsical, I think you can try to imagine winning the dunk king again!" Lu Yi laughed.
Curry said depressed: "How do you know I haven't thought about it? If I had your body, I would go to the dunk contest!"
"You have the opportunity to have my body, my talent, that is to come to Los Angeles and be my teammate! Let's join forces and win the championship together, what do you think?"
Lu Yi continued to tell Curry the truth in a joking tone.
It's a pity that Curry didn't take this seriously.
"You... Anyway, congratulations!" Curry didn't say much, anyway, happiness belongs to Lu Yi, and Curry has nothing.
The three-point long-range shooting contest is over, and there will be a dunk contest next.
The slam dunk contest is the top priority of the All-Star Game, second only to the All-Star Game.
With his outstanding physical fitness, Lu Yi can actually participate in the dunk contest.
However, tomorrow Lu Yi will participate in the All-Star Game for the first time.
If you participate in the three-point contest and the dunk contest consecutively tonight, then from the perspective of physical strength, it will be difficult to guarantee a good performance tomorrow.
It doesn't take too much effort to shoot a three-pointer, so Lu Yi thought that he could just apply for a three-point long-range shooting competition.
Now it can be regarded as fulfilled, and Lu Yi has established the league's three-point leader status through the game.
And this was won on Curry's head, which is full of gold.
That night, Lu Yi asked someone to take some photos of him holding the championship trophy of the three-point long-range shooting contest, and posted them online in Versailles.
If it weren't for the consideration of participating in the All-Star Game the next day, Lu Yi might be so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Just like winning the NCAA championship.
You know, this is Lu Yi's first "weighty" award in the NBA!
The best player of the week and the best player of the month are also hard goods in player honors, but after all, there is no trophy "real money".
On February 2th, the highlight of the All-Star Weekend is finally coming.
Home team locker room.
"The All-Star MVP is yours, but I have one requirement, that is, you must win." Kobe presided over the work in the locker room.
Kobe was injured not long ago, but Kobe still chose to come to the All-Star Weekend for a stroll.
Coincidentally, Kobe learned in advance that Iverson had the idea of starting Lu Yi.
Ever since, Kobe offered to give up the starting position to Lu Yi, anyway, Kobe won't be too old for a long time.
Kobe Bryant played a lot of games as a substitute in the early stages of his career, so it is no problem to play as a substitute for a while in the All-Star Game.
Besides, Kobe never thought of losing when playing, and he didn't want to taste the taste of failure.
For other people, Kobe may not know that much, but for Lu Yi, Kobe still has a relatively clear understanding.
After all, they have now become rivals in the same city, and they have played against each other so many times this season. Doesn't Kobe know Lu Yi?
As an opponent, Kobe still recognized Lu Yi's strength.
Although Lu Yi's style of play is a bit soft, Kobe still recognizes that Lu Yi has powerful abilities, which is enough to make him feel pressure.
If the Western All-Star team is led by Lu Yi and Iverson, there should still be great hopes of defeating the Eastern All-Star team.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of everything!" Since Lu Yi took Kobe's place in the starting lineup, he naturally had to shoulder that responsibility.
Not long after, the game began.
Duncan jumped the ball for the Western All-Star team, but Howard was superior and helped the Eastern All-Star team jump the ball.
The ball fell into Wade's hands, but after Wade dribbled the ball for half court, he handed the ball to James.
This seemed to be a preview of James bringing his talents to South Coast, but there was a problem.
In the All-Star Game, who will play the pick and roll for James?
Although the Western All-Star team doesn't defend very much, there are people inside anyway!
There is no way, James can't use Tianlong Babu to get inside, so he directly casts an outside shot to try his hand.
James missed a shot, Stoudemire kept the rebound and handed it over to Iverson.
Iverson drove the ball forward and handed the ball to Lu Yi after halftime.
Also trying to feel the hand, Lu Yi faced Joe's lax defense in singles, and directly pulled out from outside the three-point line.
brush--
The goal is scored, Lu Yi's iconic three-pointer!
