"Dina, why are you dressed like this? Aren't you going to cheer me up?"

"Of course, Dinah is going to help uncle to kill that round-headed guy."

"I'm asking, why are you wearing this jersey when you cheer for me?"

"This is the jersey of the God of Dunk! Dinah asked the store clerk! Dinah wore the jersey of the God of Dunk to cheer for her uncle. Don't Chinese people always find powerful people to bless themselves? Isn't Dinah very smart!"

"Yes, Dinah is very smart, but your uncle's opponent today is the dunk god!"

"..."

"..."

…

After tinkering for a long time, Liu Mang went to the Nike store in the arena and bought a Dominic Wilkins No. 21 retro jersey. Wilkins' jersey is still one of the most popular jerseys in Atlanta.

, put a huge jersey on the little lolita, bought a small flower rope to use as a belt, and even wore it as a long skirt.

Alexia and Levia on the side snickered as they watched the two live treasures tossing around in the parking lot for a long time. Liu Mang was very angry. The two women knew that Dinah was wearing the wrong jersey but didn't remind her. If it hadn't been for it before the game.

After the warm-up, Liu Mang wanted to find someone to encourage him, so he went to the parking lot to pick up the three girls at home. He saw Dinah wearing Carter's Raptors No. 15, and quickly bought a jersey for Dinah to change into. It was really

It’s a shame and a big loss.

Everyone knows that Dinah is his "daughter". If his "daughter" wears the opponent's jersey and goes to the scene to cheer... The headlines may not necessarily be the same, but there will be another "anecdote" that becomes black history. As a public figure, in the end,

What I hate the most are all kinds of "anecdotes".

However, the fuss with Dinah really dissipated a lot of the tension in Liu Mang's heart. The three girls went to the fan tunnel to find their own seats, while Liu Mang went back to the stadium alone. After all, the game was his.

…

On February 15, 2003, the day of the much-anticipated All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest arrived.

This year's eventing competition day is a bit more streamlined than last year, and all three major events of future eventing will be put on the stage.

The guest performer invited on the second game day of this year's All-Star Weekend is a native Atlanta female singer and a famous female rapper in the 1990s, Da-Bright, whose nickname is Little Guy, which is what her name means.

Used as a nickname.

Although I don’t like hip-hop music that much, I did feel that way when I listened to it live, and the place suddenly became heated.

Different from official games, even from rookie games and All-Star games, eventing is not just about watching the performances of the people on the field, but also the interactions of all the people on the sidelines.

Mainly, current stars and retired celebrities.

There are four competitions in total today, including regular three events in the future and special events that will change almost every year.

All the participating players gathered on the bench on the right side of the technical stage. During every event, the bench was combined into one, with about twenty people crowded together.

The bench on the other side of the technical stage has become a VIP seat, which is where the organizer's players, current superstars, retired superstars, and friends of the contestants, and of course NBA players and others sit. It has been expanded several times, which is enough.

Hundreds of big stars are sitting in that position.

After the warm-up performance, the on-site DJ began to introduce the guests present today.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, applaud our president, Mr. David Stern, who leads the NBA to globalization and gives us more exciting games..."

The first person to introduce is, of course, NBA Commissioner David Stern.

"Next, thank you to our greatest player in Atlanta, Dominic Wilkins, the essence of human cinema..."

"Thank you to the strongest point guard in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers, and will always be the strongest point guard in history, Magic Earvin Johnson..."

Then, there are the two celebrities who will participate in the competition today.

David Stern was ignored by many people, but the following two NBA historical figures made the already warm atmosphere in the audience even higher.

However, the on-site DJ was indeed a member of the Rogue League. Not only was he wearing a Rogue League vest over his overalls, but he also didn’t know if he was deliberately angry with Kobe, who was sitting in the VIP seat. He also specifically emphasized that Magic is the best of the Lakers forever.

Here, the camera was shown to Kobe. When Kobe saw the camera coming, he could only show a sinister expression and had to laugh.

Yes, the Rogue Alliance is no longer limited to producing and selling T-shirts. They found that T-shirts are difficult to sell in winter, and T-shirts also have sales bottlenecks, so they began to develop this "brand" in various directions. Liu Mang felt that one day he would

I guess I would advertise my "own brand", but in the end the brand is not my own.

This makes Liu Mang very sad. This law is really terrible.

The pre-game activities are over, and the game that fans have been waiting for is finally about to begin!

The first one was the NBA Three-Point Shootout Contest. Participants were Brent Barry of the SuperSonics, Pat Garrity of the Magic, Peja of the Kings, Antoine Walker of the Celtics, and the Hornets.

Team's David Wesley.

Walker's popularity is really not low! When the players participating in the three-point contest came on the stage to draw lots, Walker was cheered loudly by the fans when he came out.

Liu Mang really became more and more confused about some players. Especially after he became more and more familiar with his NBA colleagues, he discovered that NBA players can be divided into two very extreme categories.

Either he's the little blacksmith who works really hard, or he's Antoine Walker who doesn't work hard enough.

Generally speaking, those who work very hard are generally not very talented, while those like Antoine Walker who do not work very hard are usually very talented.

This makes the average strength of the NBA become stronger and stronger. Those with talent can get big money without working too hard, and those with low talent can get big money after working hard, allowing more players with average talent to work harder.

Those who are talented but don't work hard often disappear after a few years and fade out of the league earlier than those who are average in talent but don't work hard. However, those who are naturally talented and work hard eventually become the top stars in the league.

The order of the draw was Peja, Walker, Garrity, Barry, Wesley.

Peja got the first lottery slot to play. The order of the lottery, morning games and evening games, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Those who play in the morning will vote first and it will be fixed. After that, they can only watch life and death.

But if those who play in the morning give a crushing performance, the people behind will have no fighting spirit. This is the disadvantage of playing late, but the advantage of playing in the back is that if the front is only averagely good, then the back will lose their fighting spirit.

Those who take the field will be more confident.

Peja walked onto the court, and there was much less cheering.

Since Liu Mang and Ray Allen, the two strongest three-point shooters, did not participate in the three-point contest, people's expectations were much lower.

Peja also felt that the heat at the scene had dropped significantly, and he couldn't stop feeling angry! They all underestimated him!

Whether it is in the ranking of historical three-pointers or the three-pointers that fans are keen to discuss, he is not at the forefront, and is often even ignored.

But! Peja is very aware of his own strength. Although his three-pointers are not as crazy as Ray Allen, Liu Mang, and Antoine Walker. From time to time, he will hit seven or eight three-pointers in a single game, but he is confident.

Is he not bad at all? He has averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game so far in his career, and his three-point shooting percentage is 39%, but he is completely ignored by people, which makes him very unhappy.

Especially after losing to Liu Mang in the three-point contest last year, Peja saw that he was ranked sixth among the best three-point shooters in NBA history at the end of the season.

Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, Stockton, and Ray Allen took the lead, and Peja didn't have much objection.

Reggie Miller is now the three-point king in history. He is the first and only player in history to have made more than 2,000 three-pointers. Although Stockton and Steve Kerr made fewer three-pointers, they

High efficiency, especially Steve Kerr, who ranks first in three-point shooting percentage in history. His career three-point shooting percentage is 45.4%. He is the only player in the NBA who has made more than 40 three-pointers in a single season.

The one with the highest shooting percentage was Steve Kerr. As a substitute that season, Steve Kerr's three-point shooting percentage was 52.4%.

However, Liu Mang, who was ranked fifth, was criticized just like O'Neal when he was still on a rookie contract and was selected into the top 50 superstars in NBA history.

But since three-point shooters in this era are not very good, especially since the three-point line has only been established for about 20 years, many players who entered the NBA in the 1980s do not know how to make three-pointers at all, because they may not be able to do three-pointers in college.

They have never practiced three-pointers, unlike in a few years, those young people who have practiced three-pointers since childhood will be able to shoot three-pointers so accurately when they enter the NBA.

Therefore, in his rookie season, Liu Mang surpassed Reggie Miller for the most three-pointers made in a single season. The media ranked him as the fifth best three-point shooter in NBA history. Although he was criticized for giving such a high evaluation to a rookie.

, but many people agree.

But Peja was unhappy! So every time he played against the Eagles, he showed off his power and led his teammates to beat the Eagles wildly without any mercy.

This year it’s the three-point contest again. Since everyone has participated, he has to prove himself! Ever since he agreed to participate in the three-point contest, Peja has been preparing and practicing. Until this morning, he even rented a basketball.

He has practiced shooting for this kind of game in the gym, and now he is ready, he is going to explode!

Peja came to the first shooting spot in the right corner. Seeing that the game was about to start, the fans at the scene still gave some face and cheered.

Peja endured the discomfort in her heart, and her perfunctory cheers could clearly be heard.

Peja took a deep breath and nodded toward the referee next to him.

The referee received the prepared message, raised the flag in his hand to the technical table, waved it down, and blew the whistle in his mouth at the same time.

As soon as the whistle blows, the 60-second countdown to the game begins!

Peja picked up the ball player and dropped the knife, hitting all four ordinary white balls in a row!

Although there were no expectations before the game, the fans couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw four three-pointers in 8 seconds! This exclaim made Payton feel that the depressed feeling in his heart was instantly released!

The fifth ball, flower ball!

Peja didn't hesitate, picked up the ball and threw it to the basket!

Hit again!

Score six points in a row!

Peja quickly reached the second point, but unfortunately, the rhythm was interrupted due to running. He missed the first ball, but all the next three ordinary balls and flower balls were hit!

Only 20 seconds passed! Only one shot was missed!

Peja came to the top arc, and with the lesson learned from last time, Peja stabilized himself this time and started shooting again.

In the third shooting spot, Peja hit all five goals!
