NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 94 Good Luck

Compared to Russell, Joe Johnson really wants to prove himself with a three-point contest.

He is a bit of a serious person, and he was very nervous at the end, and it was useless for Russell to joke with him.

The game started quickly, and Korver was the first to play.

He entered the league as a pitcher, and this is his second game.

As a result, his performance was not good at all, and he only scored 14 points, which was not as accurate as a rookie game.

Russell immediately said to Joe Johnson: "See, the rival is just like that, so don't be nervous."

However, Joe Johnson is still a little nervous. The current singles Joe is indeed a bit immature. He sometimes plays abnormally on the court, and it is easy to understand.

However, in the three-point contest, he was obviously more abnormal. As a result, he didn't finish the shot and only scored 8 points.

Now Russell has nothing to say, this buddy is destined to miss this award.

However, the three-point contest has Jordan's 5-point base, and it doesn't matter how bad the players shoot next.

Then Russell came on, and he tried to hold the bouquet, even if he couldn't finish the shot.

But after the shot, he looked at the score, and he only scored 14 points. At first, he laughed at Korver.

"We're out of the game now," he told Joe Johnson with a wry smile.

However, things are always unexpected, and Radmanovic then contributed to the iron feast, scoring only 6 points.

Russell was overjoyed. Wouldn't it be big news if he shot such a poor shot and surpassed Jordan directly.

Ray Allen came on the court, and at the end, he also hit the iron continuously, scoring only 13 points. Russell was stunned.

Could it be that he participated in the worst three-point shooting contest and was going to be walked by everyone?

Before he was reborn, he didn't pay much attention to the three-point contest, so he didn't expect it.

As a result, the Nuggets' players scored the highest points in the preliminaries. Like the preseason, Russell and Korver followed into the finals.

So sometimes it is not necessary to perform well in competitions, just a little bit better than other players is enough.

In the final, Korver played better, played steadily in several points, and scored 18 points.

Russell was the second to play. He shot faster this time. He didn't shoot well in the front, but he felt better as he came from behind.

He didn't know how many shots he made during the game, just like the preliminaries.

As a result, after the vote, he actually scored 19 points.

The host finally played, but he did not withstand the pressure when Korver's Russell was upgraded. Russell actually won the three-point contest with a low score.

Russell is also very excited. You must know that his performance in the two competitions is actually not outstanding, and he can't stand his opponent's hips.

When the reporter came to interview, he also had a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, I feel that this All-Star Tour has been perfect."

"Next, I can cheer for my teammates with peace of mind. As for tomorrow's All-Star Game, my goal is to send a few more assists. Scoring is someone else's business."

The Suns players won consecutive championships, and the players who came with them were also very excited.

Then it was Stoudemire's turn, and he was also very confident. Dunking was as simple as eating and drinking for him.

The four participating players in the slam dunk contest, besides Stoudemire, are Birdman Anderson of the Hornets, JR-Smith of the 76ers and Josh Smith of the Eagles. This time there is no host player.

JR, who played first, is known as the collection version of Jordan. His physical fitness is top notch, whether it is shooting or dunking, it is very exciting.

JR also scored 45 points for a heavy dunk by changing hands. Next, apart from Anderson's mistakes, Josh's dunk from the free throw line and Stoudemire's dunk from the bottom line all scored 45 points.

In the second round, everyone cooperated with teammates, but JR's creativity was very ordinary. Although the dunk was beautiful, he only scored 45 points. Josh's cooperation with his teammates at the free throw line impressed the referee and scored a perfect score of 50 points.

Anderson was in a bad state and made another mistake, and he didn't know if he was drinking something. He was undoubtedly eliminated.

Stoudemire played last, Russell cooperated with him, caught the ball behind the rebound and made a weird arc pass to Stoudemire for dunks, which also made the referee give a perfect score.

Stoudemire entered the final, but unfortunately he made a mistake in the final. The championship was given to Josh Smith. The Suns still did not win the championship of all challenges.

Russell treated guests after the game, not only bringing his teammates, but also their friends. This is also a player gathering mainly for Suns players. Such things are very common during the All-Star period.

Stoudemire drank a few more glasses because of depression, and Russell didn't stop him.

But if this guy doesn't perform well in the All-Star Game the next day, don't blame others.

During the All-Star Weekend, the third day is the focus of most attention.

The duel between all-star players, even an exhibition game, will attract many fans, because at other times it is impossible to see so many powerful players competing on the same field.

The training before the All-Star game attracted countless media from all over the world.

The atmosphere of the training was also much more interesting than the rookie game. Russell had contact with many players.

He also participated in an event with Yao Ming, and the two chatted happily.

No one will speak ill of a guard who likes to pass the ball. Even Kobe, who is not in a high mood, chatted with Russell for a while.

Kobe was excited and talked about the possibility of cooperation in the future. Russell said with a smile: "No problem, as long as you come to the sun."

It was only then that Kobe remembered Russell's identity. It was basically impossible for Russell to leave the Suns for another team.

His status has also made many All-Star players regret. Look at that dull boy Stoudemire, if it weren't for Russell, he would be so arrogant this season.

O'Neal also chatted with Russell for a long time. Unlike Kobe, who was not in high spirits, O'Neal was still very happy.

Before the All-Star game, there was no tension. Everyone was joking with each other, and it was the same with reporters.

Of course, you still have to be careful about some topics, and it’s not good to talk too much.

Russell wasn't particularly jovial, he wasn't that familiar character.

D'Antoni is not as relaxed as the players. He stands on the All-Star court, which feels unreal.

The Suns turned out to be halftime champions, and that wasn't even in his best fantasies before the start of the season.

"Russell, we will definitely succeed this season." D'Antoni said, "Maybe I shouldn't be so greedy. We have to go step by step. We are now a strong team in the Western Conference."

"Mike, you are worried again. Let me tell you, don't worry, we will continue to shock the entire league." Relatively speaking, Russell's mentality is much better now.

Confidence comes from plug-ins, but also from the strength of continuous improvement.

Even if Russell doesn't have any cheats now, he is still much better than when he was in college.

This sense of accomplishment makes him very comfortable, more comfortable than earning a lot of dollars, after all, he has no shortage of dollars.
