Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 59 59. The idol who was upset by KO in the preliminaries?
On the second day, the All-Star weekend was mainly about three-pointers, skills and dunk contests.

Originally, these things did not pay much attention when they first joined the All-Star Weekend. After all, what everyone in the All-Stars is watching is the duel between the two luxurious lineups.

Few fans will be interested in such a bells and whistles show.

But as Michael Jordan, Vince Carter and others increased the appreciation of the slam dunk contest again and again, this made the slam dunk contest truly the main program of the All-Star Weekend.

I am afraid that apart from the finale of the All-Star Game on the final day, the most anticipated event of the entire All-Star Weekend is the slam dunk contest.

But for today's links, Luke didn't come to the scene at all, but lay down in the hotel while resting and watched in real time through TV broadcast.

Maybe Luke's behavior seems a bit strange to others, obviously he is in Denver, and he also lives not far from the arena where the All-Stars are held.

As a result, Luke would rather lie in the hotel and watch the live broadcast than go to the scene to watch it, which is really not normal.

The reason why Luke didn't go to the scene is because Luke knows how boring these games are this year.

There was no suspense in the skills competition, the unexpected upset in the three-point contest, and the dunk contest in the end, which was unbearable to watch. Luke was really not interested in going to the scene.

If it weren't for the fact that he would lead the Western Conference Stars to the game tomorrow, Luke would now fly back to Minnesota directly.

The All-Star Weekend is too boring for Luke who already knew the result!
…………

The first stage was the duel of the Skills Challenge, but this year's Skills Challenge had no suspense at all.

The strength of the other three contestants was far from that of Stephen Nash. In the final, Nash easily won the championship in 25.8 seconds and became the skill champion of the 04-05 season.

Nash led his opponent Boykins by a full 12 seconds in the final. This boring and boring skill challenge almost put the audience to sleep.

If it weren't for Nash's title of "Son of the Wind", this year's Skills Challenge would have been nothing short of shit!

…………

After the skills challenge, the three-point contest was staged immediately.

With the gradual increase in the proportion of three-point shots in the league, the attention of the current three-point contest during the All-Star Weekend is also increasing day by day.

Among the players participating in the three-point contest this year, Ray Allen is naturally the first favorite to win the championship.

As one of the best three-point shooters in the league in active service, Ray Allen's support rate is more than two blocks away from other players.

Even the atmosphere when Ray Allen played made the fans think that the three-point champion had been predetermined in advance.

As a result, after the game started, there was an upset in the three-point contest. The No. 13 champion Ray Allen only scored [-] points in the preliminaries and was eliminated directly.

This scene obviously made the fans at the scene unbelievable. It was not until Ray Allen put on his rest suit and sat back to the sideline with a helpless face that the fans reacted from the shocking emotions.

Ray Allen was actually eliminated in the preliminaries!

Ray Allen's upset exit caused a lot of boos at the scene, even though these boos may not be blaming Ray Allen, but more of a joke.

But when he saw Ray Allen being upset and eliminated in the preliminaries in the audience, Nehbar felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Nehbar has regarded Ray Allen as his basketball idol since he was a teenager. Like most people, the word idol represents invincibility and trust.

As a result, today Ray Allen forced his hips in front of Nehbar at the scene. At this moment, Nehbar only felt that Ray Allen's stalwart image was quietly collapsing.

Even though Nehbar's performance will catch up with Ray Allen's footsteps sooner or later, but at this time, Nehbar only feels uncomfortable in his heart.

It was as if the Ultraman I had trusted since I was a child was knocked out by a monster. No matter how you look at it, it reveals a "bullshit" atmosphere!
In the end, Kunyan Richardson from the Suns narrowly defeated Korver with 19 points in the final, and won the three-point game championship in the 04-05 season in an upset.

After the game, when he saw Ray Allen sitting on the sidelines with some frustration, Nehbar originally wanted to step forward to comfort him.

But in the end Nehbar still endured it, because Nehbar didn't know what to say, so he couldn't pat Ray Allen on the shoulder and say to him: "Don't lose heart, you're a noob!"

...............

The next stage in the arena is the annual slam dunk contest. Similarly, it is also a slam dunk contest that Luke finds boring.

The four players participating in the slam dunk contest this year are: Josh Smith, "Small Overlord" Stoudemire, JR Smith, and Corris Anderson.

In fact, this year's slam dunk contest is not bad, even if it's not as exciting as Carter's back then, it's not too overwhelmed.

Of course, this is for indigenous fans. For Luke, who witnessed the pinnacle battle between LaVine and Gordon in his previous life, there is no longer a slam dunk contest in the NBA!

At most, the "fake virtue" who forced nine points was barely able to fight in that session. The duel between "uncrowned dunk king" Gordon and Derrick Jones was also shocking.

It's just a pity that "Uncle Wei" doesn't talk about golf ethics, which made Gordon's reputation as the "uncrowned dunk king" solidified.

Afterwards, he even tried to give Gordon a Mercedes-Benz big G to tell him that he was fair.
After the slam dunk contest started, Luke, who was lying in the hotel, simply turned off the TV, because Luke was really not interested in the next slam dunk.

In the end, as in his previous life, Josh Smith successfully won the championship with his windmill dunk, 360 in the air and his teammates in the final, and became the new generation of dunk king in the league. He demonstrated his physical fitness to the extreme in the dunk contest.

Of course, it is said to be a leaping teammate. In fact, the teammate who was leaped by Josh Smith found a chair and sat under the basket, and Josh Smith still flew from the flank to avoid the front of the teammate.

From a side point of view, if this ball Josh Smith is a frontal trapeze, then the buddy sitting under the basket will most likely be kicked out of his brain!
The only difficulty in the whole slam dunk is the pull rod after receiving the pass from the teammate. Even if this pull rod is not on the table in the slam dunk contest, the key is not that Josh Smith is too strong, but that other opponents are too weak!

It was just such a leaping dunk, which also attracted the screams of most fans at the scene, which really gave Luke a headache.

Luke is very glad that he turned off the TV in advance, otherwise Luke would have been hit by a mental shock.

After all, Josh Smith's jump height is only over one meter and he can get a full score, while Gordon's leap was [-] meters tall and the league's number one giant Takofar, the result was nine points...

It's hard to imagine that if LaVine and Gordon appear in this year's dunk contest at the same time, will Josh Smith be beaten to autism by the two together!

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, the old book is about to end, and there will be a little more in two days.
