NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 227 Three Point Shootout Contest!
The second day of the All-Star weekend is a skill contest, including tricks, three-pointers, and dunk contests.

Lu Yusheng signed up for this year's three-point contest.

In fact, he is more confident in the skills competition. After all, this aspect is the specialty of defenders.

But for the All-Star Weekend, Lu Yusheng still wants to challenge himself. After all, COSCO has always been Lu Yusheng's weakness in all skills.

But this year's skills competition can be described as star-studded, with the addition of Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Wade and LeBron James, this skills competition is full of highlights.

Everyone thinks that Chris Paul will win the skills competition. After all, he is the most serious point guard among these people, which is his strength.

LeBron is also considered a good chance, after all, although he is a small forward, LeBron has actually been doing the job of point guard at the [-] position all the time.

Obviously, Wade also has a chance. Only Kobe Bryant is not favored. After all, he is not very good at passing the ball in everyone's perception.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Chris Paul and LeBron James, who were highly expected by everyone, were eliminated in the first round.

On the contrary, Kobe Bryant, who everyone is not optimistic about, has surprisingly good results.Kobe passed all the first rounds of the skills competition at one time, ranking first in only 29.8 seconds and entering the second round.

It's just that in the second round, Kobe lost to Wade, and Wade won the championship.

Everyone believes that Kobe can achieve this result, it is simply too good luck.

Only Lu Yusheng didn't think so. He was too aware of Kobe's passing and organizational skills.

The reason why he gave everyone the impression that he can't pass the ball is purely because he doesn't like to pass the ball.

It is one thing to pass it on or not, but it is another to be able to pass it on.

The second item was Lu Yusheng's three-point shot contest, which Kobe dismissed.

"I really don't know what is the significance of your application for this competition. I really can't think of any other significance except to occupy an extra spot."

"I still want to sign up for the slam dunk contest," Lu Yusheng said, "Mind your own business, buddy, you lost just now."

"You still want to sign up for the slam dunk contest under your conditions? Stop making trouble, brother, you are really not suitable." Kobe said.

"I'm not suitable, are you suitable?"

"Come on, don't forget, I've won the slam dunk championship." Bryant said.

"Oh. Please, don't mention your slam dunk champion brother, you have the best slam dunk champion since the slam dunk contest." Lu Yusheng said.

"What did you say?" Kobe was upset, "Then tell me, which slam dunk contest was of the highest level?"

"Jordan's, and Carter's, the strongest dunk contest in history." Lu Yusheng said without hesitation.

Kobe smiled, "Of course we can't compare with them, but our class is also okay, right?"

Lu Yusheng frowned, "You were really not good at that class."

"I admit it, but it's not my problem," Bryant said, "You have to admit that sometimes, if you want to play a high-level game, you have to have a high-level opponent to inspire your level. It's hard to play your best when you don't have opponents. That's what happened in our tournament."

Of course, Lu Yusheng admitted that, indeed, the reason why Jordan and Carter were able to achieve excellent results in their slam dunk contest was indeed because they had strong opponents in their respective competitions, which allowed them to exert their full strength.

"Anyway, I'm not very optimistic about you." Bryant said.

"Just wait and see, I will definitely win this match." Lu Yusheng said.

Players participating in this year's three-point contest include Lu Yusheng, Wizards star Arenas, Mavericks' Jason Terry, Cavaliers' Damon Jones, and Memphis Grizzlies' Mike Miller and more.

Among these players, Lu Yusheng's three-point shooting level is basically the worst, so his chances of winning are not too high.

Of course, he didn't intend to win the championship in this competition, he just wanted to participate and feel the atmosphere of the All-Star competition.

Before the game, the fans and the media also paid close attention to the game, mainly because Lu Yusheng participated. He is currently the hottest star in the NBA, and his every move attracts attention.

But everyone is actually not very optimistic about his ability to win the championship. After all, everyone knows that he is not very good at three-pointers.

Everyone started to warm up, and with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started!
The first player to participate was Jason Terry. He played well in the front, but he missed the last few balls, especially the most precious bouquet, and finally scored 14 points.

This score is not high, basically to be eliminated.

Next, everyone else also started to shoot, but it may be because everyone was a little nervous, the previous scores were not too high, and their performance was a little abnormal.Damon Jones of the Cavaliers scored the most with 18 points.

Next, it was Lu Yusheng's turn to appear.

After Lu Yusheng appeared on the stage, the fans cheered and applauded loudly. Even the host exclaimed, "Lu Yusheng is really hot recently, and the fans are crazy about him."

With a whistle, Lu Yusheng started shooting!
But the start was not very smooth, the first four balls were all missed, even.Another ball is an air ball.

Kobe sat on the sidelines and saw his poor performance, sighed and shook his head.

The host said, "Oh. He's probably really bad at threes."

The fans who originally cheered Lu Yusheng started booing now.

Unexpectedly, starting from the fifth ball, Lu Yusheng took a turn for the worse and started to throw in one after another, almost all of the flower balls were thrown in!

Only the last bouquet was lost!
The fans at the scene suddenly burst into fierce cheers!
Lu Yusheng scored 24 points this round!
This result has basically locked into the second round!

The host said, "I didn't expect him to come from behind. After losing four goals in a row, he shot so well from behind. His mental quality is really strong. From this point of view, in this three-point shooting competition, Lu Yusheng should be the leader. We will win the championship without any suspense.”

But as soon as the host finished speaking, there was another loud cheer from the scene.

It turned out that the one who shot the next shot was also terrifying, and he hardly missed any shots in front of him.

He is Jason Kapoer of the Cavaliers.

The host exclaimed, "Wow, Kapoer is so good. If this trend continues, it seems that he will surpass Lu Yusheng's score."

But what I didn't expect was that Jason Kapolei didn't make good shots in the last few shots. His final score was the same as Lu Yusheng's, 24 points.

Together with Damon Jones, Lu Yusheng and Jason Kapoer entered the second round at the same time!
