Chapter 645: Three-point champion, strength steals the show
Team Bosh: Chris Bosh, Dominic Wilkins, Sven Cash
Curry: Stephen Curry, Dell Curry, Sue Bird
Team Davis: Anthony Davis, Scottie Pippen, Elena Dorne
Westbrook: Russell Westbrook, Anfernee Hardaway, Tamika Catchings
The rosters of the four teams are actually not much different.
The current players are all superstars, they are all famous, they can attract people, and the retired NBA stars are also famous.
Dell Curry is Stephen Curry's father, Scott Pippen and Jordan have won so many championships, and they are also very famous. Hardaway and Wilkins were also famous.
It stands to reason that it will be difficult for the four teams to tell the winners.
In the qualifying round, both Bosh and Westbrook played well, completing the task in under forty seconds.
But when it came to the final, the Bosh team came out, and the first thing was a mistake.
It went straight to fifty-four seconds.
At this time, at the time of the qualifiers, it will be eliminated directly.
Everyone thought Westbrook had won.
But when the Westbrook team came out, the funniest thing of the All-Star Game happened, and the Westbrook team didn't complete the task in a minute and a half.
This......
There has never been anything like this in the history of the NBA, and the commentators and fans at the scene were confused.
Westbrook looked depressed, what is going on!
If I knew this, it would have been better to be eliminated directly in the qualifiers, but when I got to the finals, I was embarrassed again.
Either way, this incident has become the biggest news of this All-Star Game.
After all, the difficulty of the shooting star game itself is very low, even amateur players can achieve the requirements in a minute and a half as long as they are trained, but the Westbrook team did not reach it.
Regardless, Westbrook's lack of shooting is characterized by being ridiculed.
The three-point contest has more highlights.
This year's three-point contest is known as the strongest session after Qinyang's three consecutive championships, and the players who participated:
Kyle Korver (Atlanta Hawks)
Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors)
JJ Redick (Los Angeles Clippers)
Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers)
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
Wesley Matthews (Portland Trail Blazers)
James Harden (Houston Rockets)
Belinelli (San Antonio Spurs)
This lineup is very fierce, and they are all three-pointers who have played very well this year.
The qualifiers were very intense, with Wesley Matthews, who scored 22 points, being eliminated, and Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Kelly Irving advancing to the finals.
In the finals, Curry scored 27 points and won the three-point contest.
This three-point shot championship is well deserved.
When it came time to get the trophy, Curry was happy:
"I'm very happy to win the three-point contest, but the only regret is that I don't have an opponent to win this title, and I'm going to fight him for the three-point total this season, and hopefully Bruce can do his best."
Curry has declared war.
In this season's three-point shooting data, Qin Yang and Curry are at the top, and others are not comparable at all, because no one can shoot three points like Qin Yang and Curry, and no one is so accurate to them.
Curry throws in three or four three-pointers every game, and so does Qin Yang.
It's just that Qin Yang's three-point shot is more stable, and Curry's three-point shot is more sassy.
In terms of three-point shooting this season, except for Qin Yang and Curry, none of the predecessors are opponents.
But...... Qin Yang didn't care at all.
The three-point shot is just a means, and the offensive opening space, the means of direct scoring, passing, and layups are all the same.
It's good to win, and there's no point in competing for three-point shooting data.
The slam dunk contest is also very outstanding.
In recent years, the league has emerged a lot of dunks, which are very attractive, such as Oladipo, Zach LaVine and others, and the two participated in this game, as well as Brother Alphabet and Mason of the Nets.
In the end, Oladipo and Zach LaVine advanced to the final.
Zach LaVine's terrifying dunk won the slam dunk contest.
Qin Yang was very indifferent to this.
Since entering the league, Qin Yang has always disliked dunking, why should he dunk if he can shoot and get a layup, this is to make himself uncomfortable.
Competitive athletes have a lot of physical load, and what kind of dunk is done at this time, they just can't get by!
Look at Nowitzki, at the age of thirty-six, he is still alive and well, averaging 16+6+2 data per game, as stable as a dog. This is still the time he has to play, and if he has enough playing time, the 20+8 stats are no problem. Look at Kobe Bryant again, look at Rose, and you will know how miserable it is.
In the game where Kobe Bryant played, the Lakers lost and lost the bottom line. That's really any team that dares to lose.
Rose kept breaking through and changing direction to accelerate dunks...... It's scrapped now.
Because of Rose's big contract, the Bulls can't win the championship, otherwise the Bulls' lineup, plus a superstar with an annual salary of 20 million, is definitely the rhythm of another dynasty.
It's a pity.
After the slam dunk contest, it's the All-Star Game.
2015 NBA All-Star Game
Eastern starters:
John Wall (Washington Wizards), Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors), LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers), Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks), Pau Gasol (Chicago Bulls)
Western Forces: Bruce Chin (Dallas Mavericks), Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans), Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers), Mark Gasol (Memphis Grizzlies)
Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer and Warriors coach Steve Kerr became East and West coaches.
Substitutes:
Westward:
James Harden (Houston Rockets)
Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)
Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors)
LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers)
Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers)
Tim Duncan (San Antonio Spurs)
Eastern:
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
Al Horford, Paul Millsap (Atlanta Eagles)
Jimmy Butler (Chicago Bulls)
Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers)
Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)
With such a lineup, it stands to reason that Kevin Durant has nothing wrong with winning the All-Star Game MVP.
Pau Gasol was in the West and couldn't get into the starting lineup at all, but when he went to the East, he immediately got the starting spot in the All-Star Game.
The gap between the East and West lineups can be seen.
Kyle Lowry in the East has both qualified to start, but in the West, Westbrook and Chris Paul have struggled to secure a bench spot.
The competition in the West is too fierce.
The strength of the lineup determines the All-Star Game MVP, and if there are no surprises, it will be Kevin Durant.
Qin Yang is also helping Kevin Durant.
Although Qin Yang doesn't play much time, he often feeds Kevin Durant with passes, the purpose is to give Durant a good hand.
However......
The critical moment is coming.
