February 18, the second day of All-Star Weekend.
At 4 p.m., the league will start with the "Shooting Stars" game, which is a four-team competition with three players each, including an active NBA player, a retired superstar and a female WNBA player.
There are a total of 6 shooting points in the game, three people shoot separately, after the previous person shoots, the next person can shoot, and the winner of the round is decided.
The six shooting points are: 45 degrees 3 meters on the right side, 45 degrees 3 meters on the left side, three-point shot at the top of the circle, 3-point shot at the right baseline, three-point shot at 45 degrees on the left side and 3 points from a long distance in the midfield.
The tournament will be divided into two rounds, with two teams eliminated in the first round and the winner in the second round, with this year's winner worth $35,000.
After a half-hour battle, the team that won the championship was the San Antonio team, and they were led by retired superstar Steve Brown. Kerr (Spurs), current star Tony. Parker (Spurs), Kannedra. Vicky (San Antonio Silver Stars) finally completed the game in just 25.1 seconds, setting the best record in the history of the "Shooting Star Game".
The "Shooting Star Game" can be counted as an appetizer for the second day of the All-Star game, and everyone generally hasn't turned on the "TV" at this time, so many people have watched the All-Star Weekend for a few years, but they haven't seen what this "Shooting Stars" game looks like at all?
After the appetizers, at 6 p.m., the all-star individual event "Skills Challenge" opened.
This game is much more familiar to fans. Every year, the players who compete are among the top point guards in the league. Where there are stars, there are highlights.
The Skills Challenge consists of obstacle dribbling, passing, and shooting. The tournament consists of four players competing in two rounds. The two shortest players in the first round advance to the finals, and then the winner will be determined.
Participating in the tournament is defending champion Dwyane of the Miami Heat. Wade (2006, 2007 champion), host, New Orleans Hornets' Chris Brown. Paul, New Jersey Nets' Jason. Kidd (2003 champion) and Utah Jazz's DeLong. Williams.
First up in the preliminaries was Jazz's DeLong. Williams, his speed is average, but he is efficient, and in all the events he passes with 1 or 2 attempts. Finally, Delong. Williams finished the race in 31.2 seconds.
The second to appear is Kidd of the Nets. He was the 2003 Tricks Challenge Champion. The old demon did a very good job in the passing link, and all the passes were passed at once. But his mid-range shooting was too poor, and he missed all 5 consecutive balls in the arc top jumper, and the sound of "bang, bang, bang" made the stars who watched the excitement on the court lean forward and leaned back with laughter, and the little fox laughed so much that tears were about to flow out, Kidd's shooting ability is really painful!
Kidd was delayed in his shot, and it took 40.7 seconds to finish the game.
The third to appear was the host Chris Murphy. Paul, the little fox began to curse Xiao Zhengtai again, hoping that Paul would strike the iron six times before it would be happy!
Unfortunately, his curse was not fulfilled, and the host was cheered by the fans in the stadium. The top-of-the-circle jumper hit in a single attempt, and he moved at a pretty fast pace. The success rate of passing was also extremely high, and he finished the game in 29.9 seconds, and even Wade, who was waiting for the game, couldn't help but applaud the Hornets core.
The last player in the preliminaries was Dwyanne of the Heat. Wade, the big cheeks are estimated to have been posing for too long, just as the so-called handsome was struck by lightning, and the Flash lost the ball when he bypassed the obstacle, which made the big bowls on the sidelines laugh.
After that, the top jumper big cheeks also missed in a row, and he was a little discouraged in the final part of the game, and finally hit the layup 3 times, many people suspected that he was here to be funny, and the little fox directly sprayed the soda in Yao Ming's face.
In the end, Wade's result was quite bad, and he actually took 53.9 seconds to complete the race, making the worst record in history.
The results of the match are out, and Chris. Paul and Delong. Williams made it to the finals of this year's Skills Challenge.
Ji Guoyi touched the bag on his head that was beaten out by Yao Ming, and shouted at the little fat man: "Come on, Delong, I bought you 50,000 yuan to win!" â
The little fat man looked at Ji Guoyi very strangely, although he didn't know why the dead fox was so optimistic about him? But since people give face like this, the little fat man is also very happy in his heart, and he gave Ji Guoyan a thumbs up in response.
The first to appear in the final was Delong. Williams, I don't know if he received the encouragement of the little fox +n, his first layup ended with a dunk, a good start, and the arc top jumper was also a pass, the Jazz's main point guard significantly accelerated the speed in the finals, which is to use a lifetime of learning to compete with Paul, and the little fat man is so fast, his success rate is maintained quite well.
Finally, Delong. Williams clocked 25.5 seconds.
After finishing the race, Delong. Williams himself looked very happy to the cheers of the fans. In 2005, Nash set the fastest record of 25.8 seconds, and the little fat man has already broken Nash's fastest record, which undoubtedly puts pressure on Chris Paul!
That's right, in the face of Delon's perverted time of 25.5 seconds, although he was the host and had the cheers of the live audience, Chris Paul's performance was average, and he had to speed up, but this required him not to make a mistake once. However, under great pressure and difficulty, he made a mistake in the passing link and finished the game in just 30.2 seconds.
At the end of the game, it can be seen at this time why Delong is called Kidd's successor, in terms of the accuracy of the pass, only the old demon and the little fat man did not make a mistake in the passing link in this game. Paul is not as accurate in his passing accuracy as Kidd, Nash and DeLong in terms of his strength and ball control and basketball IQ.
The final result of the "Skills Challenge", Delong. Williams beat fellow 2005 rookie Chris Brown. Paul, the first winner of the Skills Challenge.
Ji Guo smiled shamefully. The stars around him heard that he bought 50,000 Delong before the game started. Williams. Quickly took a look at the odds of the little fat man. Dead Fox has earned at least $100,000 this time, which is not a small amount.
In fact, not only Ji Guosha bought 50,000 dollars, but Brother Panda also bought 50,000 dollars Delong won, the two of them are not sure that history will develop as originally it was, but they know that buying Delong. Williams will undoubtedly have a better chance of winning.
On the second day of All-Star Weekend, after the "Skills Challenge", the much-anticipated "Three-Point Contest" will be held.
Before the start of the three-point contest. The ESPN reporter first interviewed Ji Guoyi, who participated in the three-point shooting competition, and asked the little fox: "Fox, do you know? You're on the verge of setting another zĂ o record, as no one in history has ever competed in three events in a row at an All-Star Game. â
Ji Guozhi shrugged: "Yes, I know, most people don't get this kind of opportunity. I felt like it was just something that the players hadn't done and my brother and I were capable of playing all the games, so I thought, 'Why don't we go to these games.' What about being the first to do so? ââ
The ESPN reporter continued: "After the entry list was announced, many fans thought you should use the All-Star Weekend to rest. Instead of participating in so many competitions. â
"The three-point contest only takes me two minutes on the court, and my brother's dunk contest may take three to four minutes, and these games don't take as long as the rookie challenge, and these three games will also take me about one hour," Ji explained. â
"Last question, what's your favorite all-star program?"
Ji Guoyi faced the reporter's last question and replied with a smile: "I am most looking forward to the "three-point competition", this is the game I have always wanted to participate in, you know my three-point shooting rate, I am a natural marksman. But that giant panda will surprise the fans at the dunk contest, and many of them really don't know that the two of us can dunk, but my dunk is also very good-looking, and that giant panda is even more powerful than me, and you can see it later. â
The interview with the fox brother made many female fans at the scene can't help but scream, and they are looking forward to the "three-point competition" and "slam dunk contest" in the future.
The "Three-Point Contest" is one of the individual events of the NBA All-Star Weekend, the rules are relatively simple, one shooting point at the top of the three-point arc, one shooting point on both sides of the baseline and one shooting point at a 45-degree angle on both sides to form five three-point shooting positions, and each player needs to complete the shooting of five shooting points within one minute of the specified time.
Each shot point requires five balls, of which the first four are ordinary balls and are worth one point, while the fifth is a suit show ball and two points are counted.
The match is normally divided into two rounds, with each player having one chance in each round. The top three contestants in the first round advance to the finals. The second round is played in the same way as the first round. In the event of a tie in the finals, an extra match will be played until the ranking is determined.
The NBA Three-Point Contest originated in 1986, and there are only two players in history who have won three consecutive championships. Bird and Craig. Hodge. There are also three other two-time champions, namely Horner. Seck, Mark. Price, Peja. Stojakovich.
Defending champion Jason Ka. Bono is expected to become the fourth player to win two consecutive three-point contest titles, but his opponents are not unscrupulous, and the six players in this year's three-point contest are: Jason. Kapono, Steve. Nash, Dirk. Nowitzki, Peja. Stojakovic, Richard. Hamilton, Ji Guosha.
The six contestants, Peja. Stojakovic has won two three-point contest titles. Nowitzki once, Jason. Cappano once, plus two seasons of three-pointers against the sky Steve. Nash, as well as the active mid-term king Richard. Hamilton, as well as Ji Guoyi, the only Chinese player in NBA history to participate in the three-point competition, none of these six people are not good players.
Before the start of the game, the odds on the periphery are the most favourable for Peja. Stojakovic and Steve. Nash. Followed by defending champion Jason. Capono and De. Knowitsky. Poor Hamilton and Ji Guoyan are the least favored, one of them is good at mid-range shooting, and the other is too young and not stable enough.
"Come on, little fox, I bought you 10,000 yuan to win, and if you win, I can earn 50,000 US dollars." Before Yao Ming's game began, he took the initiative to cheer for Ji Guoyi, but this guy's intentions were not pure.
Ji Guoqiu smiled: "I bought 50,000 yuan, and Christine also bought 10,000 dollars, you don't want to lose!" â
Nash scratched his head: "I bought myself $20,000, so you're still losing." â
The three of them stretched out their middle fingers together, and Stoudemire secretly muttered in his heart: "I also bought Peja. Stojakovic is $50,000, Steve, you'd better be eliminated! â
Nash didn't expect that even his teammates betrayed him behind his back, so Nash, who was the first to appear, was decisive and tragic, as a superstar like a two-time MVP, he actually scored a pitiful result of 9 points in the preliminaries, which can only be attributed to the fulfillment of the curse on him from everyone outside the court.
The second to appear is Dirk. Nowitzki, the German tank is not much friendlier than the old team, this year, Nash, who is recognized as a pervert of three-point shooting, actually only scored 9 points, which is not much better than Jordan's worst score in history, which was only 5 points in the competition, so the German tank was also decisive, and finally failed to finish the game on time, only scoring 11 points.
The first two superstars on the court suffered Waterloo, which made Kobe Bryant on the sidelines laugh very happily, originally the Black Mamba should be the biggest superstar in the six, but an accidental finger injury caused him to give up his place to Nowitzki, at this time Peter Pan saw that the others were unlucky, of course, to gloat.
