Chapter 220: Unexpected
"In my opinion, if you want to succeed in disrupting the situation, I'm afraid you have to look at Kyle of the 76ers!"
As soon as Barkley said this, Smith was also stunned, looked back at the players who were warming up, and echoed: "Well, Kyle is really good, with moderate shooting speed, high shooting percentage, and a typical fixed-point pitcher." ”
"It's more than that."
Barkley shook his head and said: "This season, Kyle has made 4.7 shots per game and made 2 three-pointers, which is more than Cappano. The most important thing is that Capono is in Miami, and he has Dwyane and Shaq around him to attract the bag, all he has to do is to catch the ball and shoot, most of the shots are open and semi-empty, there is no difficulty, so the shooting rate is so strong. ”
"And what about Kyle? He's in the 76ers, 76ers, please! Yes, the 76ers have my favorite Chinese kid, André and Miller, but what about the three of them? ”
"Hmm......" Kenny Smith thought for a moment and said, "You mean, the 76ers don't have superstars on their roster to attract packers, so Kyle's three-point shot is more difficult?" ”
"That's the first reason." Barkley nodded: "There is a second reason, except for the three good boys I just mentioned, the rest of the 76ers players don't pass the ball at all." Look at their backup point guard, Luis? Does he know how to spell the word pass? Rodney? The pass button is already broken! ”
"So what I mean is that Kyle's three-point shot is both quantitative and difficult without compromising on quality, and that's the most commendable thing about this lad!"
Hearing this, Smith was also stunned, nodded and said: "That's right, although Capono is the best in terms of hit rate, but if the two change teams, Kyle may be able to throw such a hit rate." ”
"In addition to these, Jason has a fatal heel."
Barkley smiled. An enigmatic expression was revealed.
"What weakness?"
"He's not as handsome as Kyle!"
Kenny Smith faints.
The two gaged, the first round of matches on the court had begun, and the first one to appear was Capono.
The shot was lightning fast, and the shooting posture remained quite stable, but the marksman's hand was not too good, and the first two points were frequently missed.
Once at the top of the arc, Capono began to find his senses, hitting all five shots, and the stadium was full of cheers and many people began to cheer.
Finally a lap down. Capono made a late effort to score 20 points but did not lose it, and there was hope of reaching the final.
The second to play was McMiller, who was also weak in the early stage, and finally ended the game with 18 points, and when he came off the court, he was still shaking his head and smiling bitterly with his teammates, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his performance.
The third appearance of Terry was a big surprise, and sure enough, as Barkley said, Terry was good at dribbling and pull-up jumpers. For this kind of fixed-point shooting, it seems that there is a bit of a lack of rhythm.
After a couple of hasty misses in a row, Terry's rhythm was completely out of order, and he finished his shots. actually only scored 10 points, which caused a lot of laughter on the bench composed of sharpshooters, and even the team's big brother Nowitzki couldn't stop pointing at Terry and laughing.
Fortunately, Terry is cheerful by nature and has been the boss on the field. I played it, the All-Star Game three-point championship or something was just the icing on the cake, and I didn't care. He also walked off the stage with a laugh, accepting the good-natured "ridicule" of the audience.
Next is the fourth person to play, Chen Mu and the others all put away their smiles, sit upright, watch Korver walk onto the court, and silently cheer for their teammates in their hearts.
"Play half the level you did when you were training and you can win the championship!"
After being teammates with Korver for a year, Chen Mu knows the level of a good brother very well. If on the training court, Korver's three-point shot is counted as 100 percent, then on the court, it is indeed half of his strength at most.
Chen Mu knew very well in his heart that this was mainly because the team did not have a super attack point to attract the bag, resulting in few absolute empty positions when Korver shot.
If I can continue to improve and reach the level of a superstar as soon as possible, I believe that Korver will be able to reach a higher level by then!
“3、2、1、GO!”
After the countdown was over, the game began, and Korver stood in the bottom corner, picked up the basketball and opened his hand to make a three-pointer, and then did not look at his super high arc at all, but turned his head sideways and started to take the second ball.
"That's right!"
Chen Mu secretly clenched his fists, and the three-point contest tested not only his shooting ability, but also his stability and mentality. How many sharpshooters have missed the three-point contest, and many of them are because after the shot, they pay too much attention to whether their goals are scored, and as a result, the time to come and go is delayed, and the continuity is gone.
Korver naturally knows this, and on the court, he often doesn't look at whether the basketball is in the frame after making a shot, and turns back to defend. Generally, at this time, it proves that Korver's hand is good, and you will know whether there is it at the moment of shooting.
But when it comes to the three-point contest, the game time is urgent, but there is no time to make people "feel good", if you shoot, you shoot, you can't get it back if you don't score, and there is no Chen Mu under the basket to help Korver grab rebounds, this time, the marksman can really only rely on himself.
"Huh"
It wasn't until Korver took the second shot that the first three-pointer was about to hit, and the audience let out a slight cry and everyone's eyes widened.
Anyone can see that Korver's hand feels good, the first three-pointer did not touch the basket at all, and even the net only flipped slightly, and the crosshair was extremely accurate.
Next, the crowd's cries were getting louder and louder, Korver kept shooting, the overall rhythm was maintained very well, the time was neither aggressive, nor too procrastinating, and the overall shooting felt flawless.
Shot again and again, most of the balls went into the net, and the few balls that did not score were not much different from the basket, but they were slightly bumped up, causing the audience to sigh lightly and secretly scream that it was a pity.
Unlike the three players who played before, Korver showed an excellent hand as soon as he came up, and as the basketball continued to hit, the voice of the host and the cries of the audience mixed together became louder and louder.
"See? See?! Hahahaha! ”
Barkley is naturally dancing happily, as a former Philadelphia legend, and now Chen Mu is favored by the match, the bond between Barkley and the 76ers is very deep. At this moment, I saw my prophecy come true. Naturally, he was very happy, staring at Korver's performance while showing off to Smith how sharp and unique his vision was.
"Dang!"
“AWWWW……”
The fans let out a sigh when the last ball missed, and then looked at Korver's score, and the shouts rang out again.
"22 points! 22 points! 22 points in the preliminaries! Haha, Kyle, worthy of being a super shooter in Philadelphia! ”
As Barkley shouted, the big screen showed the highlights of Korver's game. In slow motion, Korver's shot was beautiful. Although it is not as tense as Jordan, this kind of three-point shot with a gun ring is an easier object for ordinary fans to learn.
Especially after every three-point shot, Korver didn't look at the ball at all, and directly turned around and picked up the latter basketball, which made the fans even more amazed.
“HandsomeBoy! WOOO――HOOOO~! ”
Of course, handsome people will only look more handsome in slow motion, which is also an indestructible truth......
“WELLDONE!”
Chen Mu and Iguodala and the others naturally stood up and waved and chanted with Korver. The handsome young man looked back and saw his teammates, and he also smiled slightly, handsome everyone, and the female audience sitting behind Chen Mu almost spilled Coke directly on Chen Mu.
The short high-tide passed. The rest of the players continued to play, and Arenas, who came out in the fifth game, had a lot of aura, waving to the fans before going on the field, causing a lot of shouts. Then come to the bottom corner to get ready, start the timer, and the threes are also thrown one by one.
“3、4、6……”
Here, Arenas kept shooting. Over there, Chen Mu and the others were also constantly counting the opponent's scores, 1 point for ordinary balls, MONEYBALL2 points, and a total of 25 three-pointers for five points, all of which were 30 points.
Korver's 22 points are quite impressive, Kapono's 20 points behind him are also very competitive, Terry's 10 points are hopeless, and now it is purely watching the excitement, and the most nervous person at the moment is probably McMiller.
Miller threw 18 points, which was not bad, but Korver ignited the atmosphere of the preliminaries at once, and the qualification criteria for the finals were instantly raised, and if Arenas exceeded 18 points, Miller would be eliminated outright.
The reality of the result is cruel.
"Huh!"
The last color ball hit, Arenas actually scored 23 points, McMiller's face sank instantly, and he smiled bitterly to accept the comfort of the god shooters, and watched Arenas walk off the court proudly.
“HOHO! 23 points! This three-point contest looks even more exciting than expected! ”
Barkley was excited, several seeded players were said by him, and he currently occupies the top three, which shows how wise and powerful he is to be a fat man.
And this kind of bite rise from 20 points, to 22 points, and then to 23 points, like a gear, is the biggest attraction of the three-point competition, who can stand out in this cruel competition, who can stand to the end.
Nowitzki, who came out in sixth, was under a lot of pressure, and the three BT quasi-instantaneously raised the final entry threshold to more than 20 points, and all the spectators were waiting to see if the defending champion could create a miracle.
As a result, the reality is even more bizarre than the novel, after Nowitzki's bullish shot of the last colored ball, his score actually came to 20 points, and Nowitzki is going to play an extra round against Kapono!
"It's really an unexpected situation, this three-point contest is far more exciting than imagined!" Smith concluded the first round. (To be continued......)
PS: The small projects will end soon, leaving Xiao Chen and his teammates with some moments of affection :D
