Super all-around point guard

Chapter 754 Teaches you how to play the Skills Challenge!

On the second day of the All-Star Game, all the projects were contracted by Xie Chen. Xie Chen himself didn’t know why he wanted to participate in so many projects on a whim. For these star players who were selected for the All-Star Game, participating in the All-Star Game already made them more tired than other players. Xie Chen participated in the Masters Game on the first day.

Some people even said that Xie Chen is not like last year's Kobe Bryant, who retired after playing, why bother himself so much?
As for the results of today's three events, everyone is still very inclined towards Xie Chen.

The Skills Challenge has always been a contest between point guards. This time there are big players joining, and the big players and the small players will compete separately. In the finals, a big player will face off against the small players. In this Skills Challenge, there is no time. Whoever completes all the items first will win.

Small players participating in this skills challenge include: Xie Chen of the Los Angeles Lakers, Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, Thomas Jr. of the Boston Celtics, and Kris Dunn of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The big players include: Dreaming Green of the Golden State Warriors, Karl Downs of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cousins ​​of the Kings and Anthony Davis at home.

First of all, in the first round, Xie Chen will face Lillard, and then go to the winner between Thomas Jr. and Dunn to compete for a seat in the final. Finally, in the final, he will compete with the winner of the big man for the championship.

Because it is obvious that smaller point guards are dominant in such events, it is generally believed that Xie Chen's challenge mainly comes from the competition among smaller point guards. As long as he wins these point guards, it is basically equal to winning the championship.

Soon, today's first project will start. Xie Chen, Lillard and others will all appear on the stage. Indispensably, the black hosts at the scene will introduce them one by one.

Xie Chen, Lillard, Thomas Jr., and Dunn, the four point guards stood together, while the other four big players stood on the other side. Among them, the All-Star ticket king Xie Chen and Anthony Davis, who was at home, were the ones who received the most cheers. Everyone hoped that the final would be Xie Chen against Davis.

Zhang Weiping also said: "The Skills Challenge is about to start. This Skills Challenge is a program that has introduced All-Stars since 2003. It also saw the progress of world basketball. It has made NBA players pay more attention to the most basic skills. Now they have added big players, which further confirmed Pat Riley's expectations. As a center forward, it can be said that this game is still very interesting."

After a while, Thomas Jr. and first-year rookie Dunn made their debut first. Yang Jian also began to explain: "Thomas Jr. and Kris Dunn have already played. Dunn is a rookie player, but his skills are very good. Let's see who will be the winner among them."

At this time, Xie Chen and Lillard were also sitting off the court watching their game.

Thomas Jr. is only 1.7 meters [-] in height. This height can gain a foothold in the NBA. His dribbling and passing are definitely at the top level. Although Dunn is not bad, he is the best technical point guard among the rookies, but there seems to be a gap compared with Thomas Jr., not to mention that Thomas Jr. is an old player, and Dunn will inevitably be nervous when he participates in NBA activities for the first time.

The two have already stood at the designated position, ready to pick up the ball and start the game at any time. They have a standard basketball and a flower ball. As soon as they hear the start, they immediately pick up the ball and rush forward.

First of all, the two have to go through many obstacles and dribble the ball to the front court, which is also a test of the dribbling level of the contestants.

Thomas Jr. can be said to be one of the fastest players in the league. He dribbles skillfully and leads the rookie Dunn as soon as he comes up. These obstacles are not considered obstacles for any professional player.

A pass point is placed at the bottom corner. The contestants have to throw the ball into the circle. Since the diameter of the circle is not large, it is still difficult.

However, Thomas Jr. seemed prepared and threw the ball in the first time, thus leading Dunn again.

Afterwards, Thomas Jr. had to dribble the ball back to the backcourt for a layup. This was basically not difficult. Then, it came to the last item of the game, the three-pointer. As long as he made the first three-pointer, he won.

Thomas Jr. came to the three-point line first and made the first three-pointer first.

Bang, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

At this time, Dunn had just reached the three-point line, and Thomas Jr. was afraid of being shot by Dunn for a three-point lore, so he quickly made a second three-pointer. This time, the basketball went into the net!

Before Dunn could even make a shot, he had already lost.

Yang Jian said: "Thomas Jr. advanced to the second round. He still looks like a champion. Let's take a look at Xie Chen and Lillard, who will be Thomas Jr.'s next opponent."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Chen and Lillard appeared together.

Lillard has always regarded Xie Chen and Curry as his biggest opponents. In fact, the two have no grievances. It is because Xie Chen is too strong, so Lillard wants to defeat such a strong man.

Lillard provoked Xie Chen as soon as he came up and said, "Tonight I will grab your two championships, and the skills challenge is the first one."

Lillard didn't just participate in the skills challenge, he was also one of the contestants in the three-point contest after that.

Xie Chen responded unceremoniously: "I think you still have a chance to beat me in the three-point contest, because your ability to catch the ball is indeed better than mine, but in a game that relies so much on skill and strength like the Skills Challenge, you can't beat me."

Lillard was furious after hearing this. Xie Chen's words clearly meant that Lillard would be fooled by the three-pointer, and the goals were all luck!

The angry Lillard was about to refute, but when he saw that the countdown was about to begin, he quickly got ready to take the ball.

The two have a basketball and a bouquet. Xie Chen is holding the basketball, and Lillard is holding the bouquet.

"The match has begun! Xie Chen rushed out in an instant!" Yang Jian explained excitedly.

Xie Chen immediately used Westbrook's breakthrough ability. With Westbrook's speed and his ability to overcome obstacles, Xie Chen easily took the lead against Lillard.

However, Lillard is also the league's top point guard. Even if Xie Chen is faster than Lillard, the gap is extremely small and can't decide anything at all.

After passing the obstacle, it is time to test the passing ability. Xie Chen trained this thing last night, and it hits it right away!
And in the same way, Lillard is also a hit!
"Both of them are a success!" Yang Jian said.

"This is a role model for point guards. Their skills are awesome!" Zhang Weiping also praised.

At this time, the two had already completed half of the skills challenge. In the second half, Lillard obviously became more eager. He picked up the ball and rushed back. This time, he was almost on par with Xie Chen!

"The two are neck and neck, and no one is behind!" Yang Jian said excitedly, and at the same time began to worry, what will happen to their next layup?
There is only one basket, but there is no priority between the two, they are both on the same level, so when they get to the basket, who will layup first?
Generally, in this situation, a player will take the initiative to let the opponent advance first, and then wait for the opponent to throw the ball before throwing it himself.

"Hey, let's see which of them gives in." Zhang Weiping obviously anticipated what would happen next, because the speed of the two is the same, and there is only one basket, so it is impossible for them to advance at the same time.

But what happened next was really shocking.

I saw the two running to the basket side by side, taking off at the same time, and throwing the ball at the same time, no one gave way to the other!

It can be expected that the result is that the ball of the two hit the car above the basket, and neither of them could get in.

"This..." Yang Jian suddenly felt embarrassed.

Zhang Weiping laughed loudly and said, "Haha, the two of you won't give in to the other, it's fun."

Every time Lillard faces Xie Chen, he is full of the desire to challenge, just like Kobe was so excited when he met Jordan. Xie Chen absolutely does not want to lose to this guy, otherwise even a small technical challenge will make him chatter in his ears in the future.

Moreover, although Xie Chen is capable, Lillard is not bad, and there are not many abilities in the competition. Xie Chen does not have much lead over Lillard. If Lillard is allowed, it is very likely that he will lose the game.

The reason why Lillard didn't let Xie Chen is even simpler, he just wanted to win Xie Chen!
"You are the three-time All-Star voting champion and the two championship winners, and you won't let me! If you don't let me, I will never let you!" Lillard and Xie Chen were in a fight, and he was not afraid of the ugly scene. Anyway, he would never let Xie Chen vote first.

Then, the skill challenge never happened.

After the two got the rebound, they shot at the same time again without giving in to each other. Then, the two balls fought on the basket again...

"Fuck! What are they doing? Isn't this too unscrupulous? The rule of not timing is really bad. What if the two of them want to play there for half a year?"

"You're ruthless!" In the end, Xie Chen gave in, because he knew that if he didn't let him, Lillard really dared to stay here with him forever, Xie Chen still wanted to save face...

Lillard made a successful layup first, then quickly took the basketball and rushed forward!
"Haha, I'm going to win!" Lillard was excited.

Countless fans saw Lillard leaving with the ball first, and couldn't help becoming impatient.

"Why did Xie Chen let him!"

"Did you get eliminated in the first round? Xie Chen is miserable..."

Yang Jian also said: "Lillard made a layup first, huh? Why is he holding a basketball?"

Originally, Xie Chen was holding the basketball, and Lillard was holding the flower ball. Probably in the chaotic fierce battle just now, when they were grabbing a rebound, the two grabbed the wrong ball, but this should not matter.

Zhang Weiping also laughed and said, "Haha, Lillard doesn't care, if he takes the ball and makes a three-pointer first, he wins, and he doesn't care what color the ball is."

Excited, Lillard quickly came to the three-point line. He can be said to be the most accurate and fanatical three-point shooter in the league this season, so he is absolutely confident that he can hit the three-pointer with one hit!
"You still lost to me!" Lillard is confident that he can win the three-point contest. He is confident that the moment he makes a shot is the moment when Xie Chen is eliminated!
However, just as Lillard was about to make a shot, he suddenly stopped!

Because he found a bouquet flying over his head and heading straight for the basket!

"What?" Lillard was startled suddenly, isn't Xie Chen behind him?How could it be earlier than myself?
"Damn it! He shot a super long three-pointer!" Lillard didn't look back, and instantly realized Xie Chen's strategy!
Sure enough, Xie Chen had just rushed to the midfield position at this time, but he shot directly at the LOGO position!
Swish!
Three points directly into the net!

competition is over!

There was a burst of cheers!
"Haha, LOGOSHOT! Xie Chen scored a three-pointer at halftime and made the first three-pointer, killing Lillard, and he entered the second round!" Yang Jian said excitedly.

And Lillard threw the ball out unwillingly. He should have thought of the ultra-long three-pointer. He can actually shoot a long-range three-pointer!

Fans are also discussing it on the Internet.

"I know why Xie Chen participated in the Skills Challenge. He is here to tell you that this is how the Skills Challenge should be played!"

"I just want to know why Curry didn't come to participate?"

"Xie Chen made a flower ball, and the flower ball belonged to Lillard. Lillard should be judged to advance!"

"Lillard grabbed the wrong ball by himself, is Xie Chen to blame?"

At the scene, Thomas Jr. and those big players who hadn't played yet were all in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, he just threw it in the middle of the last one, so how can you compare with him?" Chasing Dream Green knows the power of LOGOSHOT. Curry can hit N such long-range three-pointers in a row, and Xie Chen can't lose to Curry.

But Towns didn't care very much: "As long as you miss the LOGOSHOT, I can beat you while you don't get the next ball!"

After deciding the two small players to be promoted, there was a hip-hop exhibition match on the spot, which was also quite exciting. After that, the duel between the big players began.

The first to play is Chasing Dream Green and Karl Downs. The competition between the big men is not as exciting as that between the small point guards. First of all, the speed is slow. In addition, whether it is passing or three-pointers, the shooting rate will not be very high.

Sure enough, Karl Downs failed to pass the test three times, and Green took the lead all the way. Unfortunately, Green, who was originally good at three-pointers, missed two three-pointers. Towns, who came from behind, overtook him.

After Downs and Green, cousin Cousins ​​​​and thick-browed brother Anthony Davis appeared on the stage.

Before Cousins ​​went on the field, he confidently said to Xie Chen: "I will be your opponent in the final!"

Xie Chen nodded at him and believed it.

Then, after he came on the court, he missed the ball just after passing the first obstacle...
