Chapter 42
The 2008 All-Star Game continued in New Orleans, and there were six players selected for the three-point shot. They were Ouyang Yue from the Los Angeles Lakers

And Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers, Roger Mason of the San Antonio Spurs, Jason Kapono of the Raptors, Rashad Lewis of the Orlando Magic, and lastly, Dacqui of the Heat En-Cook.

Among these six players, Kapono was the most expected before the game. This shooter from the Raptors has won the first two three-point shooting contests. If he can defend this time, he will become the first player in league history. One of the few three-peat players.

In the first round, Bibby was the first to play. He didn't perform well in the first point and the second, and he only hit three of them. Although he gradually found his way later, he was basically eliminated with 13 points.
The remaining two and three players, Granger and Mason, both scored 13 and 14 points respectively because they couldn't find the corners on both sides, and they were almost eliminated.

Kapono, who had high hopes before the game, performed well in the preliminaries and scored 19 points. Then Ouyang came on the stage. Durant, the little giant Yao Ming, and Peter Pan Kobe, who had just won the Rookie Challenge mvp on the sidelines, were all supporting Ouyang. come on
Ouyang, who just put on the equipment given by Chen Xue, has already appeared on the stage. He looked extraordinarily handsome with a hood on, and then he started to make trial shots, but failed to make two consecutive shots, which made the audience laugh heartily
The rare Ouyang also laughed, and then signaled everyone to be quiet, and threw the ball in his hand the moment the referee signaled to start. It was obvious that Ouyang's two trial shots just now were for the entertainment of the audience, perhaps influenced by Kobe. In the middle, everyone knows how unsolvable Fei Xia's three-pointer from the bottom corner is.
Ouyang's jump shot is very beautiful and accurate. At least now he has shot to the fourth point but only missed two shots. In the end, Ouyang scored a game-high 28 points, and then Cook withstood the pressure and scored 18 points. Unfortunately, Lewis only scored 17 points, and Cook took the last train to enter the final
However, in the final, Kapono performed abnormally and only scored 14 points. Then Cook scored 21 points to announce that Kapono failed to defend the title. Ouyang was cheered by the audience as soon as he appeared. After all, he is now an All-Star up
Maybe the fiery feeling of the preliminaries just did not subside, Ouyang played bravely, until the last point, Ouyang did not miss a shot. At the last point, the audience and big-name stars who came to help the battle had already stood up to watch Ouyang's remaining five shots. a ball
Standing in the bottom corner, Ouyang is still making consecutive hits. Looking at every shot with perfect posture and hand shape, you can’t wait or not be jealous of some players’ talents in certain fields. There is no doubt that Ouyang has an extraordinary skill in shooting. Talent, of course, requires extraordinary hard work
There is still the last ball. Looking at the flashing 8 on the countdown, Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the last bouquet, but this happened outside of this time. Ouyang's palms were all tensed due to nervousness and high-frequency movement. It's sweat, so that the ball is a little slippery when you want to shoot it

Most of the attentive people off the court saw this scene, and they couldn't help but feel that it was a pity. Although the title of three-pointer king was definitely won, it was still not as exciting as making history.

Ouyang was a little annoyed, but he didn't lose his composure. He had already jumped up, so he could only use the limit back to delay his landing time. He stayed in the air and backed up. Finally, he regained control of the basketball and made a small fold in the air to adjust his touch. , the moment he shot, Ouyang had already fallen to the ground

However, he still held his hands high, watching the orange basketball "dang" when Ouyang's basketball hit the hoop and bounced high.

Kobe was the first to react. He was like an aristocrat on weekdays. Today he rushed into the field crazily and pulled Ouyang up. "Hey, I said, man, you are amazing, oh God." All entered the venue to congratulate Ouyang

Ouyang, who was thrown high, was happy like a child for the first time
Then came the reporter interview, and then the awards ceremony. The reporter who interviewed was ** ace reporter, Sherman Miller. You can make all the shots, and you can use that super fadeaway on the last ball when there is a turnover, I think you are a superstar tonight"

"Thank you for your compliment. I'm very happy when I get this far. I have luck on my side today, and I have so many buddies supporting me." , where do I still have 13 billion compatriots?" Ouyang is so playful and cheerful

"Okay, thank you for accepting our interview"

"my pleasure"

Then Ouyang stepped onto the podium under the leadership of the staff, and unexpectedly the award was given to one of the glory of the Celtics, Larry Bird, he was the three-pointer of his era, and his sentence " Which of you are here to fight for second" is still regarded as a classic

"Young man, you are really great, congratulations" This is Ouyang's honor, after all, there has never been a person who has been praised by the arrogant big bird and offered to extend his hand

After shaking hands with Big Bird to thank, it was time for Ouyang to play freely. "This is the result I have always dreamed of," Ouyang said. "In the past, we just talked about winning the championship. I didn't expect that I was really lucky to win the championship today. To be honest, Kobe and the others cheered and encouraged me on the sidelines. I have to thank them for getting this trophy. And all the people who supported me, thank you”

A blockbuster with Ouyang as the protagonist is over, but the All-Star Weekend has just reached its climax, and tomorrow is the All-Star Game that everyone is looking forward to. Ouyang will also make his first appearance in the All-Star

This year's All-Star ticket king is Howard. He broke the league's previous ticket king discipline. This year's East and West starters have not changed much. Wade, Allen Iverson
And the West is also unshakable Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, Tim Duncan, Chris Paul, Amare Stoudemire

At the same time, the Lakers also have Ouyang and Pau Gasol selected. In the new season, some people may call them the Big Three
