NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

After the game, Anthony and Roy were interviewed together.

They flattered each other, and were one of the few stars in the 2003 class who did not form a group.

Although Anthony did not win a championship, he could not be denied to be a very good player.

The two accepted the interview in a friendly manner.

Roy found that James, who was not far away, looked at him with a face as black as charcoal.

I was speechless! Who did I offend? If you can't beat me, you should look for your own reasons, not because of my existence!

He didn't treat Roy well, and Roy naturally wouldn't indulge him.

During the interview, Roy praised the second-year 2003 platinum generation from beginning to end, but didn't mention James at all.

Even if the media mentioned James, Roy just laughed it off.

The two were like children who were fighting, and the stars who came to watch the game knew it well.

Is this the fateful opponent?

Kobe glanced at Iverson not far away.

This was his early fateful opponent. After the Lakers won three consecutive championships, no one mentioned him anymore.

Seeing such entanglements among rookies, Kobe couldn't help but smile.

A sense of déjà vu, a taste of youth.

Iverson seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look at Kobe in the row behind him. The two smiled at each other.

The NBA is like a reincarnation,

or a large-scale TV series,

All kinds of love, hate, hatred, fate and entanglements, the first day of the All-Star Game ended in such a wonderful way.

After returning to the hotel that night and celebrating briefly, Roy went to bed early.

After the rookie game, Roy received an official notice.

Since the defending champion of the last three-point contest, Denver Nuggets' Wosh Leonard, temporarily withdrew from the game due to injury,

League President David Stern decided to give this vacancy to Roy.

The official website quickly updated this news.

Roy will participate in the three-point contest as the tallest player in NBA history.

Fans are still confused. Roy's height is too misleading in this era.

You don't know if you don't check it. You'll be shocked when you check it. This season, Roy averaged nearly 5 shots per game, hit 1.9, and hit 41%.

Ahead of most players, ranked 18th on the three-point hit rate list.

And if the number of shots is considered, only 4 players are higher than Roy this season, namely Ray Allen of the Supersonics, Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, Kyle Korver of the 76ers, and Quentin Richardson of the Suns.

If Roy had not been injured and rested for 4 games, his three-point hits this season would have definitely exceeded 100.

Even so, Roy has still made 95 three-pointers in the 50 games he has played so far.

These are real goals, which shows that Roy's three-pointers have become an important part of his offense.

Some commentators and conservative players think that Roy's style of play is too outside,

It does not conform to the traditional NBA inside play and is a bit unorthodox.

But only those who know the business can see how efficient Roy is with the three-point bonus by looking at Roy's efficiency value.

Because of his shooting, many teams have lost to Roy's three-pointers.

For example, in the just-concluded Rookie Challenge, Roy's three-point buzzer-beater at the last moment is a notable example.

In order to defend Roy, the opponent had to pull out their inside players, resulting in a group of Nets guards having an abnormally high hit rate at the basket.

The basket was almost unguarded, so Roy's win-loss efficiency value PER was as high as 28.9 in the game he played, surpassing Garnett and ranking first in the league.

Looking back, it was really reasonable for Roy to participate in the three-point contest.

…

No one talked that night, and Roy rushed to the Pepsi Center of the Nuggets early in the morning.

Since he had agreed to participate in the competition, he had to take it seriously.

In the stadium, Roy was the only one there early in the morning. He planned to shoot 100 three-pointers before going to eat.

The organizer, the Nuggets, specially arranged a caddy to pick up the ball.

Roy's hit rate was surprisingly accurate without interference.

The Nuggets manager, who was observing Roy in the manager's office, was drooling.

It was unjust that a seedling of this level was not the top pick.

The Magic and Bobcats were absolutely blind, and the Bulls would definitely become one of the biggest laughing stocks in history.

For the whole day, Roy took time to practice twice, once in the morning and once at noon.

On the contrary, his three teammates, Carter and Kidd, took McGinnis around Denver and visited nearby attractions.

This made Roy very envious.

It would be unfair to give up the opportunity to go out and play if he didn't get some results..

That night was also Saturday, the day for NBA individual events.

The first was the shooting star competition,

a team consisting of an active NBA player, a WNBA female player, and a retired NBA star,

six teams participated, and the Phoenix Suns won the championship in just 28 seconds.

Then came the skills challenge,

Steve Nash beat Gilbert Arenas, Earl Boykins and Ridnour, and won the championship without any danger.

Then we came to the three-point challenge that Roy participated in.

The three-point contest is a long-standing competition in the NBA. According to the regulations, players participating in the three-point contest must be the top players in the three-point shooting percentage this season.

There are six players participating in this competition: Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, Korver, Radmanovich, Ray Allen, and Roy.

Everyone was relaxed in the locker room before the game. The only nervous Radmanovich seemed a little unnatural. His teammate Ray Allen was comforting him.

Roy shook his head. What kind of competition is this kind of psychological quality?

In Roy's heart, the biggest opponent is Quentin Richardson, because he was the champion in his previous life.

The game is divided into two rounds. Three people are eliminated in the first round, and the champion is decided in the second round.

Korver was the first to appear in the debut. His first point shot was very bad, but he recovered in the second point. In the end, his result was not bad and he scored 15 points.

The second was Joe Johnson. He looked expressionless, but his shooting hand shape exposed his nervousness. He missed all the first 5 balls and only scored 8 points.

His teammate Quentin Richardson comforted him. Nicknamed: Ah Q, he is indeed an optimistic spirit. He adjusted the previous poor shots and scored 15 points like Korver.

The fourth Radmanovich was just as his name suggests. He only scored 6 points in a game with a total score of 30 points, which set a new record.

The dragon and phoenix of this game were born. The single-digit score made him almost wear a towel and dare not look at the audience. It was really a big drop in standard and too embarrassing.

The fifth player to appear was Ray Allen. He has always had a big heart and was not affected by his teammates’ defeat. He scored 18 points steadily and entered the finals first!
