This year's three-point contest is not as dull as in previous years.
Because this year we have gathered the three top and most entertaining three-point shooters in the league.
Wang Yi, Curry and Thompson.
The three-point contest started at 8 o'clock, but before 7 o'clock, spectators started arriving.
At 7:30, the venue was already 80% full.
O'Neal, Wade, Ray Allen, Barkley and many other famous players have already arrived.
Tonight's TV commentator is TNT's basketball commentator.
Reggie Miller was also the marksman in the Jordan era and created the famous Miller moment.
Another special commentator is also a great shooter, Ray Allen, who once shot the greatest three-pointer in history and brought the Heat's Big Three back from the brink of death.
Such comments by two great historical shooters show how much tnt attaches importance to this three-point contest.
At 7:45, the three-point contest has not yet started.
The two commentators had already started chatting.
Miller posed the question:
"In today's game, which shooter do you prefer to win?"
Ray Allen laughed: "You are making things difficult for me. As a great three-point shooter, you should know that shooting three-pointers depends on your condition. If the condition is not right, the basket will be blocked. If the condition is right, the basket will be blocked."
The basket is like the sea.”
"Then who do you think is in the best condition today?"
Miller asked.
Ray Allen thought for a moment and said: "If I have to say who is most likely to be the three-point champion tonight, I think it should be Wang Yi from China."
Miller persisted and continued to ask: "Why?"
Ray Allen joked: "Do you know what his surname Wang means in Chinese culture?"
Miller looked confused: "I really don't understand this. I tried to understand their culture, but their culture was too complicated and too profound. I only gave up after trying for less than a month."
Ray Allen said seriously: "Wang, in Chinese culture, means king."
"king!?"
Miller was surprised: "So the Lakers have two kings?"
Ray Allen nodded: "It seems that he also wants to be the king on the basketball court, so of course he must be the three-point champion in the three-point contest. So what do you think?"
Miller glanced at Ray Allen.
This old cunning guy.
I am asking a question from Zheng Er Ba Jing, but you are telling me your last name.
Finally, the question was thrown back to me.
He looked at the list of participants for the three-point contest in his hand. There were 8 players in total.
After watching it three times, I finally said: "I think the person most likely to win the three-point title is the baby-faced assassin Stephen Curry. Because so far this season, he has hit 301 three-pointers, averaging 5.3 per game.
Three points. And no one else can exceed 200."
Ray Allen said: "Wang only officially played in the middle of the season, and he averaged 5.7 three-pointers per game."
Miller shook his head: "He has only played for more than two months now, and the sample size is too small."
On the Internet, fans from all over the world have long been at war with each other.
"I think Curry is the most awesome!"
"I'm optimistic about Thompson. He can score 37 points in a single quarter. Who else can score with such explosive power?"
"I am optimistic about Wang. Logo three-pointers have become his regular weapon. In the past month, he has averaged 1.6 logo three-pointers per game. This is unique in history. And this year's three-point contest has been added.
The logo has three points, which is very beneficial to Wang."
These fans each had their own opinions and were very noisy.
Wang Yi had just arrived in the locker room at this time.
A system prompt suddenly came to my mind:
【Please host to sign in.】
Wang Yi was a little confused.
Usually you can only sign in the moment you step onto the court.
Did you sign in in the locker room today?
"Sign in."
【Sign in successfully!】
[Sign-in reward: Big Bird Larry Bird experience card. Use time limit, 12 hours.]
Wang Yi couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
You know, since the three-point contest began in 1986, Larry Bird has won three consecutive three-point titles.
With this experience card, wouldn’t the three-point champion this time be secure?
Of course, even without this experience card, Wang Yi is quite confident.
It's just that Wang Yi's characteristic is that the stronger his opponent, the more excited he becomes.
And you usually can't get too excited about shooting three-pointers.
So his confidence is not too great.
With this experience card, he has much greater confidence.
It’s just that this experience card is actually 12 hours long.
This made him very confused.
I'm also curious at the same time.
Is it to allow myself to experience Larry Bird’s previous mental state, self-adjustment and other aspects?
If this is the case, it would be a good thing for myself.
Thinking of this, he said in his mind:
"Use the Big Bird Experience Card."
The next moment, there seemed to be many more things in his memory.
These seem to come from Big Bird's memory.
In 1986, before the start of the three-point contest.
Bird came to the locker room.
There are 7 other players participating together.
Dale Ellis, this guy is shooting 41% from three-point range this season.
Craig Hodges, this guy's three-point shooting percentage has declined this season, but last season it reached a terrifying 45.1%.
Trent Tucker, shooting 42.2% from three-point range this season.
One is more difficult than the other.
Bird's three-point shooting percentage this season is 40%.
A little lower than these three guys.
To be honest, he wasn't sure.
Because not only do others have a high three-point shooting percentage, but they also have specialized in three-point shooting.
Although Bird has a high shooting percentage, he hates three-pointers.
He believes that three-pointers will make the game unwatchable.
So he has never practiced three-pointers specifically.
But among all the eight players participating, the others are just role players, guys who average three or five points per game.
He thought it would be too embarrassing if he lost to them?
So I have to find a way to win the three-point championship in this competition.
At this time, none of the seven people in the locker room spoke.
The atmosphere seemed very depressing.
Obviously, everyone attaches great importance to this first three-point contest.
After all, this is the first three-point contest. If you win the championship, you will be remembered in basketball history.
For players like them who usually don't perform well, this is an excellent opportunity.
So no one wants to be eliminated in the first round.
Bird slowly walked over and sat on the stool in front of the closet.
Slowly take off your jacket and put on the Celtics jersey.
He moved very slowly, still thinking of solutions in his mind.
When the jerseys were changed and the staff outside asked them to prepare to play, he suddenly had an idea.
He looked at each player carefully.
The players felt his gaze and looked over one after another.
Bird laughed and said the famous pretentious Bible:
"Are you all here to compete for second place?"
As soon as these words came out, the mentality of the seven people changed instantly.
They were originally fringe players and usually went unnoticed.
Now it's time to take advantage of the three-point contest to showcase yourself. Everyone wants to win the three-point king.
In their view, Bird is indeed very strong on the court, but he is not better than them in three-point shooting.
If they have the opportunity to step on a superstar, they will naturally not let it go.
As a result, this guy actually said something like this. How could they not lose their mentality?
If the mentality is unbalanced, the hit rate will naturally decrease.
So Bird successfully won the three-point championship in that three-point contest.
This sentence has become a timeless classic of pretentiousness.
Chapter completed!
