Chapter 84 The Three-Point Shootout Contest, Jimmy, let's take another gamble? (Sorry for being late!)
In the end, Porzingis defeated Eunuch Hai and won the championship of this All-Star Skills Challenge.

Boss is the second big man to win the Skills Challenge since 03, joining Towns last year.

Two years in a row, two big men in a row!

To some extent, this also represents the technical development trend of the modern league big man.

The big man who has a skillful job and can shoot long shots to open up space has begun to surpass the traditional center in terms of tactical status.

During the awards ceremony, Jokic and Butler also rushed over and sat behind Zheng Long and Lin Bao.

Zheng Long looked at the two of them with furtive faces, especially Jokic, whose face was flushed.

"Why did you two go? One individual event is over, and the three-point contest is about to begin."

Jokic glanced at Lin Bao who was beside Zheng Long, he hesitated to speak, but Butler answered irrelevantly and asked, "Just strolled around, it's okay, what's so interesting about the skill competition, I can catch up with you and cheer for the dunk contest later Just do it!"

Zheng Long understands.

Good guy, these two brothers must have gone there to get a girl. The stupid and fat Jokic was polluted by Butler's silt!

On the court, there is a warm-up rap performance, and the stars participating in the three-point contest have already entered the arena.

Compared with the boring skill contest, the three-point contest is definitely the highlight of the annual All-Star Weekend.

The point of view is that it has almost caught up with the All-Star Game in recent years. (Because the main race is becoming more and more boring)
The history of the three-point contest can be traced back to 1986. The first three champions were the king, the big bird, and Larry Bird.

The most classic sentence "Are you all here to fight for second?" It came from the mouth of the king who participated in the three-point contest in 1988.

Looking at the three-point shooters who have left their names in NBA history, they have all won the three-point contest.

Larry Bird, Steve Kerr, Ray Allen, Peja Stojakovic, Paul Pierce
The Splash Brothers also won the three-point shooting championship in 15 and 16 respectively, and they all scored 27 points.

However, Curry did not participate in the three-pointer contest this year, which undoubtedly reduced a lot of highlights in this year's three-pointer contest.

The reason is that Curry revealed in a previous interview that he came here to defend his title last year, but he was unsuccessful, allowing Clay to win the three-point contest.

He does not want to compete with Klay this year, and fully supports Klay to complete the defense.

The three-point contest is about to begin, and the first one to participate is Kemba Walker from the Hornets.

On the sidelines, Zheng Long looked at Butler with a thought.

"Jimmy, do we want to bet on the championship of this year's three-point shooting contest?"

"bet!"

Butler can be said to respond to every bet. Since losing to Zheng Long in the last Christmas game, Butler has been looking for a chance to win back.

But Zheng Long rejected his invitation several times.

Today Zheng Long took the initiative to invite, but Butler agreed without hesitation, but said very generously, "You choose first!"

"I choose first? That's fine, but what are we going to bet on? It's too boring to bet on dollars."

"Then what do you want to bet on?"

"How about this, I need someone to cooperate with me in the slam dunk contest later, if you lose, just cooperate obediently?"

Butler frowned. If you want to talk about cooperation, at most it's a conceded goal or something. What's there to bet on?
"No, no, this lottery is not attractive. How about it, it's still $[-], and if I lose, not only will I give you $[-], but I can also cooperate with you in the dunk contest!"

The last time I lost [-] yuan, even Butler felt a pain in the flesh. He had to win it back, and he was afraid that Zheng Long would not agree, so he also added Zheng Long's conditions.

Zheng Long suppressed a smile and agreed to come down.

Butler is going to give himself money again!
"Then I'll just pick one. Who's that red suit over there? Eric Gordon, right? Then I'll pick him!"

Zheng Long pretended to look up unintentionally, looking indifferent.

Butler was dumbfounded.

It's really optional!

Don't choose several top shooters, choose a round face?
Can he have the appearance of a champion with a round face? !

"Are you sure you don't want to change it?"

"I won't change it! It's [-] dollars, let's sprinkle water! Nothing else, I just want to give you money!"

Seeing Zheng Long's indifferent appearance, Butler felt a little embarrassed.

Originally, I still wanted to choose Klay Thompson, after all, he is the defending champion, or I should just choose one.

At that time, neither of the two people selected won the championship, so the game will be over. "Then I'll choose Owen."

This is the way of life!
Jokic heard it interestingly, and said, "How about I add one too? Both of you leave Klay Thompson unselected, so I will choose Thompson!"

Butler's eyes widened, and he said, "Go, go, we're betting $[-], do you have the strength?!"

Does this kid understand the ways of the world?

Didn't you see that I deliberately let Thompson not choose!

Jokic curled his lips and said, "Why don't I have that strength anymore! I also bet $[-]!"

Butler was a little anxious.

Thompson's hope of winning the championship this year is greatly reduced. The bet between himself and Zheng Long made this little fat guy win $[-]?

Butler is not willing!
Zheng Long said: "Okay, then you add one too, but if you lose, you have to cooperate with me in the dunk contest later!"

When the boss spoke, Butler naturally had no reason to refute, quite helpless.

"Go, go, go!"

Jokic smiled, and shouted at the player area of ​​the three-point contest not far away: "Go Thompson!"

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you didn't guess it, choose a top shooter yourself, and the winning rate will be the highest!

Two people is [-] dollars!

The simple little fat man never thought about the possibility of losing.
Lin Bao couldn't help leaning into Zheng Long's ear and said, "You guys gambled so much, $[-]!"

"A lot? If I win, I'll give it all to you."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Lin Bao's eyes seemed to be twinkling with little stars, but he sighed again: "It's a pity that you guessed that Gordon seems to have an average three-point shooting percentage. I feel that there is little hope of winning."

Zheng Long didn't speak.

Indeed, before I watched the three-point shooting competition, I never thought that Round Face would win the three-point shooting championship.

As for Klay Thompson guessed by Jokic
At this time, on the court, the field has been arranged, with bottom corners on both sides, 45 degrees on both sides, plus the top of the arc, a total of five positions.

Each position has five basketballs.

The four positions are 1-point ball + 2-point ball, and one player chooses a position, which is five 2-point balls.

The full score is 34 points.

Kemba Walker from the Hornets, as the No.1 player, is already standing in the right corner, ready to start shooting.

The attention of everyone in the arena is on Kemba Walker.

Kemba Walker's three-point shooting percentage reached 40% for the first time this season, which is a career high. With a shooting percentage of 40.00%, he is not yet a first-line shooter in the league.

But Walker played well this season and was also selected as an Eastern All-Star, so he also received an invitation from the league for the three-pointer contest.

To be fair, the focus of the All-Star Weekend is definitely greater than the strength, so any single event, the league invites players who have a little topic.

After all, it is an entertainment alliance.

Of course, the real excitement and attraction of the three-point contest is that anything is possible.

Shooting, there is a sense of touch.

Jordan shot 37.6% in the season that year. In 1990, under the instigation of his teammate Hodges, he made 25 goals and hit a total of 5 goals. He scored the lowest score in the history of the three-point contest - 5 points.

With such a low score, you may not be able to vote so poorly if you just find a passer-by.

It's like this, God is also Goat in the three-point shootout contest-the reverse.

------

Walker started to shoot.

With every shot he made, everyone looked up and turned their heads like a concerto.

In the end Walker scored 19 points!
19 points, already considered a good score in previous three-point contests.

Walker also smiled excitedly.

Walker was followed by Irving, and when Irving played, Butler sat upright. "Come on, Owen! Score a few more today, and I'd like to let you score more in the next game!"

Jokic:
Zheng Long:.
Listen, is this human? !
In the end, Irving also scored 20 points, and Butler's face was split with a smile, as if he made the shot himself.

"20 points, it will definitely be no problem to enter the final!"

Gordon was the fourth to appear on the stage. Butler looked at Zheng Long's expression and was very calm!

Then Gordon started to shoot, and at the first point, he only conceded one ball!

Next, Gordon's output was stable. In the first three points, he only conceded one goal and scored 15 points!
The fourth point, 2 points flower ball point, scored three more!

15 plus 6 is already 21 points!

When Gordon finally scored 24 points, Butler couldn't laugh anymore and said: "It doesn't make sense, Gordon feels so good? When we played against us, the basket almost crooked!"

Zheng Long chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that I would choose it randomly. I'm so lucky. It seems that the final will be decided."

And Lin Bao looked at Gordon's 24 points, as if he saw $[-], with little stars in his eyes.

Jokic looked a little flustered at Klay Thompson, who was going to play in a while.

"My God Tang should be fine, right? Little 24 points, easy to handle!"

Soon, Jokic was slapped in the face, and, very desperate!

Klay Thompson makes his final appearance!
But the feeling was very poor, and in the end he only scored 18 points and missed the final!

Jokic scratched his face.

regretful.

I just regret why I participated in the bet between Zheng Long and Butler.

Now both Zheng Long and Butler have entered the finals. As long as Walker does not win the championship, it means that he will lose $[-]!

Jokic could only pray in his heart.

"Come on! Walker!"

Butler glanced mockingly at the painful Jokic, and said with a sneer: "Let you join in the fun, now you will have a long memory!"

Of course, Butler himself was nervous.

Because Zheng Long guessed that Gordon entered the final with 24 points, it seemed a bit unstoppable.

Now Butler can only expect Irving to play better in the finals!
The first player to play in the final was Kemba Walker,
In the end, Walker scored 17 points, which was not even as good as his performance in the preliminaries.

Butler shouted excitedly: "I declare that the fantasy of the little fat man is completely shattered!"

"We're going to fight, Dragon!"

Zheng Long touched his nose and said, "Others look at your posture and really think we are going to vote, calm down!"

Butler was really excited.

Irving, who I chose at random, was actually in the final with Gordon, who was "randomly" selected by Zheng Long!
This game, which seemed a bit boring at first, has become interesting!

Irving came on after Walker.

Irving output steadily, scored 20 points, and excitedly performed the action of playing the guitar after hitting the buzzer at the last goal.

Butler said: "20 points, it's not bad, Irving is a good shot at the buzzer!"

Next, there is Gordon.

Gordon was too steady. He scored 19 points in the first four points, and hit all the fourth points!

Butler covered his mouth.

Jokic was excited.

Although he lost, Butler seemed to be losing again!
"You're done for Jimmy! You're going to lose $[-] to Brother Long again!"

"Shut up you! Don't you too?!"

"You add up to twenty thousand!"

"Grass!"

However, at the last point, Gordon played abnormally, first the triple iron!
Then hit a 1-pointer!

tie!

The last 2-point bouquet is missing!
It's a draw!
Playoff! ! !

Butler let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "I'm stupid! I'm stupid! There's still a chance!"

"Dragon! Why do you have no expression, aren't you excited?"

Zheng Long also felt that he seemed to be acting too plainly, and said, "No, I'm too nervous."

No wonder, not nervous at all.

The tie in the final added a touch of drama, and the audience cheered.

One more round to watch!

Irving also smiled and high-fived Walker, then went on the field, and the third round came.

Irving's performance this time was not so stable. When the score was fixed at 17, Butler took a breath.

Crying without tears!

This thing, why does it feel like this bet is really about to lose again!
Zheng Long can beat himself by guessing casually?It doesn't make sense!
What kind of character is Gordon?Is it really going to beat Tang Shen, Irving and other league stars to win the three-pointer contest this year?
then.

Gordon scored 17 points in the first three points, and the 2-point ball at the third point even hit four consecutive shots!

When Gordon hit the 1-pointer at the fourth point, it was as if he had shot Butler in the chest!
Grass!
Lost again!
How can there be a child who cries every day, how can there be a gambling dog who keeps losing!

It's okay to be abused every time you are singled out, but you can't win if you gamble on luck? !
Jokic smiled when he saw Butler was shocked and unrequited.

It feels like losing a thousand dollars is nothing.

Lin Bao even jumped up from his seat happily, because Zheng Long promised to win [-] US dollars to himself!
Seeing Lin Bao so happy, Zheng Long was also in a good mood.

Last time, I directly wanted to transfer [-] US dollars to Lin Bao for daily use, but was severely rejected.

But Lin Bao was psychologically willing to accept the money he won like this.

It can be regarded as giving pocket money in disguise.

At the same time, he didn't want to provoke Butler any more, and said, "Remember to turn the $[-] dollar, by the way, remember to cooperate with me in the dunk contest later."

Butler's heart was stagnant, and he said, "How do you cooperate?"

What Butler cared more about was losing another $[-], another loss!

"I'm going to show Carter's death dunk at that time, just stand under the basket."

Butler:? ? ? ?
Zheng Long is also going to step over his head? !Grass!
