The 2014 All-Star Games are in full swing in New Orleans, and the first year of the Masters and Rookie Game has worked well, especially the scene where the MVP trophy of the Rookie Game was smashed has attracted a lot of attention.

Perhaps, this is the legendary forcible drama.

But in any case, the first day of the competition really did not attract too many people's attention, and what people were looking forward to was the individual competition on the second day and the main competition on the third day.

And Qin Yan, today can't be like yesterday, he also has to prepare for the slam dunk contest.

When he came to the gymnasium, a few unscrupulous old brothers were already snickering at him, thinking that they were making up the picture of Qin Yan last night in their minds.

A bunch of lewd men!

Qin Yan didn't go to talk to them, but hurriedly went to see the new rules of the game and experienced the atmosphere of the scene.

After all, he is the defending slam dunk king, and he will participate in the slam dunk contest again, although the dunk action is very important, but the sense of innovation is equally important, if you can tell a story with a few wonderful dunks, it will be even more amazing.

A performance with a plot will be more attractive, just like Howard back then, the return of a Superman is enough for him to win the championship, even if his Superman return dunk is actually not good, and from the perspective of slow motion, it may not be a dunk. (It feels like it's thrown in)

And today, not only Qin Yan has a game, Belinelli is also going to participate in the three-point competition, as well as the shooting star competition and the skills competition, if yesterday was just an appetizer, then today's appetizers can be said to be second only to the main course.

However, this year's rules have become more interesting, in order to raise money, this year's All-Star has changed from an individual battle to a team battle, and the two teams in the east and west will compete for points through these four individual competitions, and the team with the highest score will win, among them, the shooting star, skill and three-point game are all 10 points, and the slam dunk contest is 30 points.

The impact of the new rules on the game is great, especially in the slam dunk contest, where the team battle of three people from the east and west replaces the previous individual battle, and the contestant no longer represents not only himself, but also the meeting of his team.

The three members of the Eastern Slam Dunk trio are George, Wall, and Terrence Rose (whose life trajectory changed dramatically in the book, the sixteenth was drafted by the Rockets, and he did not participate in last year's slam dunk contest, and was traded to the Bobcats this year); On the western side, Lillard, Barnes and defending champion Qin Yan are on the side.

So how do you play with the new rules? In fact, it's very simple, it's just a little bit of a change from the old past.

The slam dunk contest is divided into two rounds, the first round, the east and west each have a 90-second dunk performance, there is no limit to the number of dunks, but each participant must dunk at least one ball, and the players' dunk order and passing to each other can be arranged at will. Because New Orleans is the West, the East Troops on the road are buckled first, and then the West Troops on the home side.

After completing the 90-second dunk in the East and West, the jury selects the winner of the first round, and the winner can choose the order of the first round of dunks in the finals. In the finals, the captains of the East and West participating in the slam dunk contest selected players for one-on-one competition, which was judged by 5 judges, and the first to win 3 games was won. Finalists are limited to 3 attempts.

In other words, this slam dunk contest is not a knockout system to enter the finals, and look at the performance and then pick, of course, with Qin Yan's current status and performance, the captain of the Western Slam Dunk Contest must be right.

He just needs to perform well in the final and dunk three beautiful balls.

As for Lillard and Barnes, they are not stupid, under this kind of rule, they will not steal the show with Qin Yan, anyway, they can play casually in the first round without worrying about being eliminated, which is already very good.

The captain of the Eastern Slam Dunk Contest must be George, but I don't know if he will play in the finals himself, or if he can discern Terrence Ross, the dunk king of last year in history.

So Qin Yan is still looking forward to it, whether it is with George or with Ross, he is not afraid.

Belinelli, as the Spurs' other person to show his face in the All-Star Game this year, of course, also has strong support from the rogue group led by Dior.

The rules of this year's three-point contest have also changed, and there are still three players from each of the east and west, each with five three-point shooting points, and five balls each. 4 of the 5 points are still set according to the previous rules, 4 one-point balls are paired with a two-point ball, and the color ball can only be thrown after the one-point ball is thrown.

The change in focus is that one of the 5 shooting points is all the colored balls, that is, all 5 balls are worth two points, and it is up to the contestant to decide where to place this particular shooting point in the 5 shooting points, so the contestant can put this colored ball spot in the position with the highest hit rate, which will help to achieve good results.

The three-point contest requires participants to complete the game within one minute, with the host West team throwing first, followed by the East team. There is no win or loss in the first round between the two teams, it is purely a matter of selecting the team with the highest score to enter the final.

However, after this rule came out, it has been complained about for a long time, and the main point is that what if the highest score on one side is not as good as the second highest score on the other side? If you still follow this rule, it will be very funny, and it will be very disadvantageous to get the second highest score in the game and not make it to the final.

As for the finals, the one with the fewer points in the first round throws first. If there is a tie, the extra game will be played for 60 seconds, and then the tie will continue to play until the winner is decided.

Qin Yan swept the list of participants, there is Curry in the west who has almost practiced the three-point magic skill to the Great Perfection realm this year, as well as Lefu and Lillard (Lillard again), plus Belinelli is four people, if you choose three out of four, although the opportunity for Belinelli to play is a little difficult, but it can still be had, although he is the least famous, but he is very stable!

On the eastern side are Afflalo, Wall, Irving and Joe Johnson, and to be honest, this lineup can't tell who will win in the end, it seems to be about the same.

"Marco, let's gamble again." After reading today's arrangement, Qin Yan and Belinelli hooked shoulders and looked like two good brothers.

"What do you want to bet on? Want to trick me again? "Belinelli is obedient, if Qin Yan is not sure, he will not say such a thing.

"No, no, this time I'm betting on whether we can bring the name of the double crown back to San Antonio this time!" Qin Yan hurriedly shook his head, he is a good boy with pure affection, and he is definitely not as bad as Dior!

"You're crazy, Shuangguan, where did you get your confidence." Belinelli had a disgusted expression, "Don't talk about me, it's hard to say whether you can win the dunk king or not, and it's a double championship." ”

"Oh, come on, have confidence in yourself, you don't even believe in yourself, and others won't make a sound for you! As you say, never underestimate the heart of a champion......"

Isn't it just fooling people, Qin Yan will too......
