Chapter 206 Three-Point Shootout Contest (1)

There is inheritance and more competition.

After all, basketball is a competitive sport, and competition comes first.

In the competition among the three generations of players, whether the old generation is still strong, or the backbone generation is a link between the past and the future, or the new generation will come from behind.

This is also the battle that fans are looking forward to seeing.

In addition, the story of Li Lei and Peja is also worth mentioning.

Last season, Peja hit the three-pointer contest for three consecutive championships.

As a result, Li Lei slashed out, not only ruining Peja's dream of three consecutive championships, but also giving Peja a humiliating 5 points.

Tied Jordan's lowest record in the three-point contest.

Peja couldn't bear the humiliation, and slipped away before Li Lei could raise the trophy.

Because of this, many fans commented that Peja can't afford to lose.

Before this year's All-Star Game, the league sent out invitations for individual competitions, and the top two players on the list for the three-point contest were Li Lei and Peja.

Alliances are deliberately creating conflict.

But fans feel that Peja is afraid that he will not fight, after all, he can't afford to lose.

But unexpectedly, Peja agreed decisively.

In the face of media interviews, Peja said firmly: "This is my battle of revenge!"

And because this year's three-pointer contest has the largest number of players and the quality is particularly high, many fans believe that this is the most valuable three-pointer contest in history.

If Peja can defeat Li Lei, not only can he get revenge, but he can also leave a strong mark in the history of the NBA.

For the 9 players participating in the competition, they are all the same, eager to win the most valuable championship.

Of course, the high gold content means that it is also difficult to win the championship.

It is not easy to stand out from a bunch of sharpshooters.

Using the simplest mathematics to explain, the probability of the previous contestants winning the championship is one sixth or one seventh.

And this time, it was one out of nine.

And your opponents are Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, and Li Lei, three dominant marksmen.

Soon, the warm-up is over.

The much-anticipated three-point contest has officially begun.

Ray Allen's teammate Radmanovich played first.

Radmanovic is a big shooter in Europe, with a height of 208cm and a weight of 106kg. His three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 38.9%.

This three-point shooting percentage was already a top shooter at the beginning of the century.

Bang!

Radmanovic's first ball bounced out of the frame.

There was a sound of regret at the scene.

It's such a pity that the ball went in half way and popped out again.

Radmanovic had no time to adjust and picked up the second ball.

Bang!

The ball went out of the box again.

This guy is not lucky today!

Radmanovic then picked up the third ball.

Swish!
The crisp sound of piercing through the net.

It's a pity that it was not hollow, but the ball outside the box, which just hit the Nets.

There was a commotion at the scene.

"What's the situation?"

The sharpshooter with a hit rate of 38.9% didn't even touch the frame.

Before picking up the fourth ball, Radmanovic raised his arm and wiped his forehead.

He's sweating!

I was sweating just after taking three shots, which is impossible with the physical fitness of NBA players.

Then there is only one reason, Radmanovic was too nervous, so nervous that he was sweating.

This is very deadly for a shooter.

Sure enough, bang!bang!

Radmanovic also missed the last two goals of the first point.

0 points for the first point.

Realizing this, Radmanovich raised his arms again, wiping away the sweat.

He was sweating like crazy.

He was already nervous, and the first point scored 0 points, and his nervousness became more serious.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Swish!
Bang!

In the second point, Radmanovic scored 5 of 1 and only scored an ordinary goal.

10 out of 1 in total!

This... Two points passed before Radmanovic scored 1 point.

The fans at the scene and other contestants suddenly realized that this time the three-point contest is not easy.

Because the gold content is the highest, the pressure on the players is also the greatest.

Accompanied by Radmanovich's shot, the Pepsi Center Arena continued to sound the sound of "clang" and "clang".

After five points were shot, Radmanovic scored 6 points.

Almost tied the lowest record of the three-pointer contest held by Jordan and Peja.

After the end, Radmanovich walked to the sidelines in a daze.

And this scene also added a lot of pressure to other contestants invisibly.

The second debut is the "Ah Q" Quentin Richardson of the Suns.

Ah Q's three-point shooting percentage this season is 35.8%, which is average in the small ball era, but he was already a very good shooter at the beginning of the century.

Ah Q was obviously influenced by Radmanovich, the first point only hit an ordinary ball and scored 1 point.

The second point is also 1 point.

But at the third point, Ah Q was so lucky that he hit two consecutive balls on the backboard and bounced into the basket.

This made Ah Q full of confidence, and the third point got a full score of 6 points.

In the next two points, Ah Q played mediocre, after all, Goddess of Luck cannot miss him forever.

Ah Q got 3 points and 4 points for the last two points respectively.

Ah Q's total score is 15 points.

The third player to play is Damon Jones of the Heat.

Damon Jones is hitting 44.3 percent of his [-]-pointers this season.

Ranked third on the three-point shooting list this season, only Li Lei and Joe Johnson are higher than him.

Damon played well this time, and missed Radmanovic's last place, so the pressure is much less.

And Damon is naturally optimistic and positive, with a good attitude.

He scored five runs on his first point and missed just one common.

When it came to the second point, Damon directly got a full score of 6.

Two points scored 11 points, a total of 10 out of 9, which is an absolute achievement.

But Damon's endurance is not enough, not durable enough.

At the third point, Damon collapsed directly, scoring only 2 points.

In the last two points, Damon played mediocre and scored two 3 points.

Damon's total score is 19 points, temporarily ranking first.

The fourth player to play is Kyle Korver of the 76ers.

Korver is a rookie in the same class as Li Lei. This season's data exploded, averaging 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40.5%.

科沃尔场均要出手6.8次三分球，名列联盟第五，排在阿Q（8次）、克劳福德（7.3次）、雷阿伦（7.1次）、阿里纳斯（7次）后面。

It is worth mentioning that Li Lei averaged 6.7 three-pointers per game, ranking sixth, just behind Korver.

In terms of hits, Korver averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game, ranking third.

In front of him are only Li Lei with 3.3 times and Ah Q with 2.9 times.

Korver was in good form, scoring 5 points on the first point, and only missed an ordinary ball.

At the second point, Korver scored 4 goals in a row, but unfortunately missed the final bouquet and scored 4 points.

In the next three points, Korver scored 4 points, 3 points, and 5 points respectively.

Korver scored 21 points.

He snatched Damon's No.1 again and temporarily topped the list.

The fourth player to play is Ray Allen.

As a representative of the league's hardcore generation of players, Ray Allen's three-point shooting percentage this season is 37.6%.

This shooting percentage is not low, but it only ranks eighth in Ray Allen's career in the past 9 years.

No one will doubt Ray Allen's strength. After all, the old Miller is getting older. Before Li Lei entered the NBA, he and Peja were the spokespersons of the league's marksmen.

It's just that Ray Allen's style of play at this time is still flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, focusing on breakthroughs, and the three-pointer is only an auxiliary means.

Ray Allen picked up the first ball, bent his knees, bounced it up, and swiped his wrist... This series of movements is beautiful and picturesque, and it is simply a textbook-like movement.

There are rumors among the players that Ray Allen pays special attention to his shooting posture, to the point of paranoia.

Wrists, elbows, and underarms must be three right angles.

The distance between the two feet and the angle are fixed every time, as if measured with a ruler.

Swish!
The first ball went through the frame.

Ray Allen is looking good.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
In the first point, Ray Allen scored 6 points.

The fans cheered.

It's Ray Allen!

For the second point, Ray Allen scored 5 points.

Eleven at two o'clock.

Ray Allen was in full swing tonight.

At the third point, Ray Allen remained in the same state and scored another 5 points.

Three points scored 16 points.

This is the star, powerful and durable.

Instead of being like Damon Jones, you can only be accurate for a while, and then vent as soon as the time passes.

But at the fourth point, Ray Allen's state declined, his shooting stumbled, and he only scored 1 point.

Four points and 17 points.

Not bad, but not amazing, after all, he is not Li Lei!
At the fifth point, Ray Allen adjusted his state back and scored 5 points.

The total score is 22 points.

Ray Allen stole Korver's first place again.

The scores were higher and higher, the competition gradually became more intense, and the atmosphere on the scene began to become tense.
