The older superstars of the NBA

Chapter 83 Advancement

Swish.

Another three-pointer scored.

Damian Lillard also performed well in the second position. Except for one of the shots, all the remaining three-pointers were thrown into the basket.

This allowed him to get another 5 points smoothly.

After scoring 10 points in the first two positions, Damian Lillard's shooting rhythm has become significantly faster. He looks very confident and his shots are much faster.

However, this time, he seemed to have encountered some kind of curse. The ball he threw had not been able to hit the basket for a long time. Such a shot from the top of the arc was not a challenge for Damian Lillard, but before Failure to score three goals really made him a little anxious.

Finally, he chose to slow down and control the rhythm, and scored another three-pointer on the fourth ball.

Damian Lillard breathed a sigh of relief. When he picked up the last bouquet, he deliberately hesitated for 0.1 seconds to adjust his state.

Swish.

The bouquet fell steadily into the basket.

In the third position, Damian Lillard performed worryingly and only scored 3 points.

Coming soon to the fourth position.

Compared with other points, the 45-degree angle on the right is not what he is good at, especially at this position just on the three-point line.

The hand feel is always unpredictable, sometimes you can get in if you are farther away, but you can't get in when you are close.

boom.

The first ball bounced out of the basket.

boom.

boom.

The following balls popped up one after another. This scene caused the fans on the scene to exclaim and at the same time made Damian Lillard look frustrated.

Swish.

Damian Lillard had a measly 2 points in the fourth when the final flower was scored.

"Oh! No!"

"I thought Damien was going to win in the West, and now it looks like he's going to be eliminated...Why is this guy making so many turnovers at this point?"

"It's all about the last position now... If Damien can't make most of the bouquets, I'm afraid his score will be out of the game...."

Come to the last point, which is the bottom corner three-point line on the right side of the basket. This is a special point for Damian Lillard.

After getting the first bouquet, Damian Lillard glanced at the timer.He shot quickly before, so there is still a lot of time left, which is enough time for him to adjust while shooting.

So, Damian Lillard took a deep breath.

Take off and shoot.

boom.

The first ball still bounced out of the basket.

He was not discouraged, and continued to lift the basketball and throw it towards the basket.Fortunately, the second ball was thrown very accurately, drawing a perfect arc in mid-air and entering the net smoothly.

Swish.

Another ball.

Swish.

Balls scored one after another.

It wasn't until the last flower ball fell into the basket that Damian Lillard finally stopped.At this point the timer also happens to end.

23 points.

Damian Lillard's final score was displayed on the big screen.

Although the shot from the last special position was beautiful, the turnover in the fourth position was too serious.

Seeing that he was 2 points behind Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard could only chuckle and shook his head helplessly.

The fans on the sidelines also sighed.

"It's such a pity! If it weren't for the bad touch at that point, he might be able to score the same score as Stephen...or maybe surpass Stephen..."

"It's hard! If Kevin can't shoot more goals, or can't draw with Stephen, then he should be the final advancer in the West..."

The third player in the West is Kevin Love.

After witnessing the shots of Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard, Kevin Love looked very calm.

When the referee pressed the stopwatch, Kevin Love did not rush to shoot, but kept throwing basketballs at a steady rhythm.

boom.

The first goal was missed.

The second ball continued, and the basketball deviated from the basket.

Swish.

The third goal was finally scored.

In the first position, Kevin Love scored 4 points.

In the second position, Kevin Love continued to shoot. His state was still very stable, and he still scored 4 points.

Come to the third position, which is the top of the arc, here is the special point he set.

Swish.

The first goal was scored perfectly.

Swish.

The second ball also went into the net steadily.

Kevin Love's touch looked very good. The first four balls fell into the basket one after another. Although the last flower ball failed to score, it did not affect the strong reaction of the fans to this scene.

Many fans who supported him couldn't help applauding.

"Oh! Nice shot."

"Come on, Kevin!"

"Stabilize your state... Maybe you can eliminate Stephen..."

Coming to the fourth position, Kevin Love continued to maintain the previous shooting rhythm, but, like Damian Lillard, he was not so comfortable with this position.

Therefore, in the case of missing the first three balls, Kevin Love finally threw only the last two balls.

This ordinary basketball and a bouquet allowed him to score 3 points smoothly.

There was a sigh from the sidelines.

"Damn it! What happened to this position?"

"Why aren't Damien and Kevin getting used to it?"

"It's going to be hard for Kevin... If he doesn't put all the balls in the last position, then he will also be eliminated..."

On the field.

Kevin Love came to the last position. He glanced at the timer and found that there was not much time left.He had no choice but to make a quick move.

The first goal was scored steadily.

The second goal was also scored.

After throwing the first four balls in a row, the fans present cheered, and many people cheered for him, hoping that he could hit the last flower ball.

Once this bouquet is thrown, Kevin Love will be tied with Stephen Curry. In that case, the two will have another round of chances to compete for the final winner.

Kevin Love had no chance to think, he could only lift the basketball and throw it out.

It was also at the moment when he threw the basketball that the on-site timer stopped.Under the watchful eyes of all the fans, the last ball he threw hit the basket and failed to fall into the basket after two bounces.

Snapped.

The basketball falls out.

Kevin Love also showed a bitter expression and waved to the fans on the sidelines.

Like Damian Lillard, he scored 23 points.

However, this is not important to the end result.

According to the rules, Stephen Curry, who surpassed them by 2 points, successfully advanced to the second round. As a representative of the West, he will participate in the finals of the three-point contest with the players who advanced from the East.

When the results came out, the three also hugged and high-fived each other. Damian Lillard and Kevin Love walked off the court quickly, and Stephen Curry also sat aside for a while to rest.

The three players in the Eastern Conference that fans are looking forward to appear again.

"Carrie, you come first!"

The referee threw the ball to Kyrie Irving, who was wearing a Cavaliers jersey.
