Chapter 398 Thrilling promotion, strong defense

After the rookie challenge, the first day of this year's All-Stars is completely over.

On the first day, whether it was the Masters or the Rookies, it was a great success.In fact, in recent years, the actual benefits brought by NBA All-Stars have become worse and worse.And, it has gradually lost its influence.But with the continuous reforms, coupled with the attention of the city of Los Angeles, this year's All-Star should be quite good.

The next day, An Luo ushered in the second three-point contest in his career.

In fact, he doesn't actually plan to participate in this year's three-point contest.It's actually good to watch the game in the audience with your family.After all, he couldn't accompany Tang Xiaoru and Fu Yao to watch this year's All-Star Game.But there is a clause about this event in the chewing gum endorsement contract signed before. As long as An Luo wins the three-point contest, there will be an extra reward of 20 US dollars.

That's a lot.His Bumblebee was just over $2.You know, An Luo is the one who earns the least among the All-Star players this year.Moreover, there are still two years left on his child labor contract!Don't be in vain.

Before the three-point contest, a skill challenge has been held.Spencer Dinwiddie eventually prevailed over Markkanen, avoiding the embarrassment of the event going to big men for the second straight year.

After Dinwiddie received the championship trophy of the Skills Challenge and delivered his acceptance speech, the on-site staff began to set up the arena for the three-point shot contest.An Luo and several other players participating in this event came to the court and started warming up.

Many of the players who participated in the competition were defeated by An Luo last year.Case in point: Klay Thompson, Eric Gordon and Kyle Lowry.More new faces, Kyrie Irving, Devin Booker, Tobias Harris, Wayne Ellington and Bradley Beal.Of course, An Luo is very familiar with these players, but this is the first time An Luo has played against each other in this tournament.There are also many players who participated in this game last year and did not choose to participate this year. This is not because their three-pointers are not accurate.People like Wesley Matthews and Kemba Walker are still very accurate this season.

An Luo thought it would be easy for him to win the championship without any defense at all.But what he didn't expect was that in the first round, he was almost eliminated.

In the first round, Harris took the lead.He found his form at the first point and only missed one 1-run shot.But the second point was a little anxious, and only got 2 points.In the next two points, Harris played well, especially in a special position. He scored three goals and scored 6 points.After the first four points, Harris scored 20 points.It's a pity that the last point was completely wiped out and no points were scored.

An Luo felt that Harris did not play well.His rhythm control was so poor that he almost fell over on one shot.

Unexpectedly, players like Ellington, Bill, Gordon and Lowry who played later did not shoot as well as Harris.They scored 17, 15, 12 and 11 points respectively.

An Luo was the third from last to appear.When he played, the entire arena erupted into cheers.In Los Angeles, An Luo is no less popular than other star players.

Waving in the direction of Tang Xiaoru and Fu Yao, An Luo started shooting.

The first point he chose is the zero-degree angle position on the left.But he missed the first shot.But An Luo was not in a hurry, nor did he slow down his speed, the rhythm was very fast.The next four balls were not bad. Although he also missed a ball, the flower ball was thrown in and scored 4 points.

The second point is his special position.But at this point, An Luo shot poorly.He conceded two goals in a row as soon as he came up.After missing the second ball, An Luo stabilized a little.Although the next three balls were all shot, but because he controlled the time, the next three points were shot very quickly.So that the hit rate is not too high.

In the end, he only scored 19 points.Temporarily ranked second among the six players who played.

Subsequently, Booker of the Suns played.His touch is hot and his rhythm is controlled quite well.Scored a field-high 23 points.All of a sudden, An Luo was squeezed into third place.

There is also a Thompson who did not appear.At this moment, An Luo's heart started to beat!After all, Thompson is a player who has won the three-point contest, and in normal games, three-pointers are also very accurate.As long as the opponent's score exceeds 19 points, he will be eliminated!

Although the three-point contest can't prove anything, An Luo still doesn't want to be eliminated in the first round.

As the last player to play, Thompson was under a lot of pressure.Last year, he failed to make it out of the first round as the defending champion, which made him very embarrassed.This year, he is bound to get back what he lost.

However, his performance is not particularly eye-catching.He also only scored 15 points before the last point.But at the last point, he shot very beautifully.After hitting the first four common balls, Thompson scored 18 points.As long as the last bouquet is thrown in, An Luo bid farewell to this All-Star three-point contest.

The audience at the scene began to make a huge noise.They made some disturbances, hoping to help An Luo.

At this time, Thompson also stabilized.The ball in front of him was thrown quickly, so there was still plenty of time.With the last 5 seconds left, he threw the last bouquet in the most standard posture.

The basketball is spinning in the air, which affects everyone's mind.

"boom!"

The ball didn't go in!
The breath that An Luo had been holding on to was finally relieved.

As a result, Booker, Harris and An Luo successfully entered the second round of the three-point contest, and Thompson was eliminated in the first round for two consecutive years.Like him, there is Lowry from the Raptors.

In the second round, An Luo finally found his rhythm.

Even if Devin Booker scored 26 points, he didn't stop An Luo's determination to defend the title.In the first three shots, An Luo scored 17 goals in a row and scored 45 points!Although he played a little abnormally at the 3-degree angle on the right, he missed three consecutive shots and only scored [-] points.But in the last special position, he stabilized his emotions and controlled the rhythm.

"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!"

He hit all five shots.End up with 30 points!
While An Luo successfully defended his title, he also broke the scoring record in the All-Star Three-Point Contest.
