Chapter 160 A new record for the three-point contest!

The skills were three-point shooting competition after the game, with six people participating in Pierce, Fry, Zhou Mubai, Billups, Cook and Curry.

The rules of the three-point competition are relatively simple. The players will compete in two rounds and then select three players to enter the final.

In the finals, the organizer will set up five shooting points outside the three-point line, and use ordinary basketballs and colored balls to score points respectively. One point is made for ordinary balls and two points are made for colored balls.

Each player will have 1 minute to complete the shooting. In the final, the player with low scores in the first round will first play the shooting match, the player with high scores will shoot later, and the final total score will determine who will win the three-point long shot competition championship.

There is never a shortage of excellent scorers in the three-point challenge, and Stojakovic and Nowitzki both won this championship twice.

Among the contestants participating this year, they are also elite shooters.

Dai Quinn Cook is the new three-pointer last year, so there is no need to say much about his strength.

Billups ranked among the top ten in the league in three-point shooting percentage, and this is the second time he has participated in the three-point competition.

At the All-Star Game held in Houston in 2006, Billups also participated in the three-point competition, but unfortunately he was blocked in the first round.

It was also his second time in the three-point competition. He participated in the three-point competition in 2002, but his performance was not good. That experience made Pierce determined to win the three-point champion away.

Pierce's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 47%, ranking fourth in the league, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

The other three competitors are not weak either.

The Suns' Channing Fry ranked seventh in the league in three-point shooting percentage;

Warriors freshman Curry shot 43% from three-pointers.

Zhou Mubai of the Knicks averaged 13.2 three-pointers per game this season, averaged 7.5 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 56.8%!

It can be said that Zhou Mubai was most highly expected in the three-point long-range shooting competition.

But it wasn't that simple after the game started.

The first one to play was Paul Pierce, who scored 1 point in the first shot, 4 points in the second shot, 4 points in the third shot, 5 points in the fourth shot, 3 points in the fifth shot, Pierce made a total of 17 points;

The second player to play was Billups, who made 4 points from the first shot point, and was in good condition. He shot 4 points from the second shot point, 3 points from the third shot point, 4 points from the fourth shot point, and 1 point from the fifth shot point, scoring a total of 16 points;

The third one was Curry, who made all four shots in the first shot point, but unfortunately he didn't make the ball and only scored four points. He made 4 points in the second shot point, but he still didn't make the ball. He made 3 points in the third shot point, 4 points in the fourth shot point, and 3 points in the fifth shot point, scoring a total of 18 points, defeating Pierce and Billups.

The fifth appearance was Channing Fry, who scored a total of 15 points and was clearly eliminated.

The fifth one was Cook, who scored 2 points at the first shot point, 4 points at the second shot point, 1 point at the third shot point, 4 points at the fourth shot point, 4 points at the fifth shot point, 15 points in total, and was eliminated.

The last one to play was Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai made all four shots from the first shot point, but unfortunately he didn't make the ball and only scored 4 points, 6 points from the second shot point, 5 points from the third shot point, 4 points from the fourth shot point, 5 points from the fifth shot point, 5 points from the fifth shot point, and 24 points in total.

Billups was eliminated here, and Curry, Zhou Mubai and Pierce entered the finals.

At the beginning of the second round of three-point competition, Pierce was the first to play in the previous order.

Pierce was much more serious in the second round, but in fact she was under a lot of pressure. Zhou Mubai's performance in the first round was too scary, and Pierce was unwilling to lose to Zhou Mubai.

Pierce and Zhou Mubai don’t have much interaction, but grudges actually exist. Zhou Mubai fought with the Celtics twice, and once in the Lakers, he led the Lakers to slaughter the Celtics he led.

The second time in the Knicks, Zhou Mubai defeated them with a remnant formation. Although Pierce did not directly play against Zhou Mubai, the Celtics were his team after all, and they were defeated by Zhou Mubai twice, which greatly damaged his face.

This three-point competition can't lose anymore.

Pierce gritted his teeth.

People really need excitement. Under pressure, Pierce scored 4 points at the first point, 5 points at the second point, 4 points at the third point, 3 points at the fourth point, 4 points at the fifth point, 4 points at the fifth point, and scored 20 points in total.

Although this score is not as good as Zhou Mubai's 24 points in the first round, it is already quite good. The pressure in the second round is greater, and it is very excellent to be able to withstand the pressure and make such a score.

The second appearance was Curry.

Curry smiled and didn't care much. It was not that he didn't pay attention to the game, but that his personality has always been like this. He grew up with Curry on the NBA field since he was a child. He was too familiar with this place and it was difficult to feel nervous.

But for some reason, he didn't feel very good today. He scored 5 points at the first point, 4 points at the second point, 1 point at the third point, 4 points at the fourth shooting point, 3 points at the fifth point, 1 points in total, and only 17 points, missing the championship.

Curry couldn't see it, and just smiled and cheered Zhou Mubai.

As the last appearance, Pierce's 20 points were actually quite stressful.

Zhou Mubai relaxed his shoulders, then nodded to the referee on the sidelines, and the referee blew the whistle.

Zhou Mubai was calm and raised his hand and easily threw it out. The first one was shot, the second one was shot, the third one was shot, the fourth one was shot, and the fifth one was shot!

——6 points!

The second point is still hit, and it has already reached 12 points.

There was something wrong with the first two points. Before Pierce could smile, the third point was hit again - 4 points!

It's 16 points, and there are two more points.

The fourth point scored 5 points, and the game was actually over here. Zhou Mubai didn't want to shoot, but the commentator on the sidelines shouted - the highest score of the three-point long-range shooting competition was 25 points, and now Zhou's score is 21 points. Let's see if there is a new record tonight!

Zhou Mubai wanted to give it a try.

The fifth point.

The first shot hit!

The audience cheered;

The second shot hits again - 23 points!

The audience cheered and cheered.

The third shot - hit again!

It's 24 points, only one point left to the record!

Zhou Mubai looked at the time, and there were still ten seconds left. He picked up the fourth ball, didn't aim, and threw it directly - hit it again!

Recorded flat!

The audience cheered.

The last one was Huaqiu. Zhou Mubai smiled, picked it up and raised his hand and threw it. The moment he made a move, he turned around and spread his hands, just like the one that Arenas made back then.

A squeak came from behind.

The flower ball goes in again!

A new record in the three-point competition was born - 26 points!

The entire cowboy arena was like a deep water bomb thrown into it, and instantly the overwhelming cheers swept over, drowning the commentator's roar.

No wonder the fans are excited. Which one is more exciting to witness history on TV or to participate in history in person?
