Section 83 Toronto All-Star Three-Point Contest Part 2(1/2)
"Uh-huh."
How could Young, who had already finished his warm-up, miss two consecutive three-pointers from the bottom corners!
As Young successfully scored the 22nd point
The next four balls meant nothing.
Because the finals are for the top three
Don’t take fourth place with 21 points.
…………
…………
With the final score fixed at 24 points
Young, entered the finals in third place.
Third place also has its disadvantages. He was the first to play in the finals.
just thought of
The competition is between Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and they have to be the first to appear.
Yang suddenly felt that it was really
life is hard
"27 points." In order to win the championship, Yang, whose life was already difficult, still set a score for himself to become the champion.
"ok?"
"ok"
As the referee who was dedicated to recording time pressed the stopwatch in his hand, Young quickly picked up Spalding who was placed in the right bottom corner.
Because the last shot from the left bottom corner was really bad, this time Young chose to start from the right bottom corner and finish from the left bottom corner.
"Shua"
The change brought success, the first ball was hit
"Shua"
Then, the second ball hit.
After a while, the flower balls that had not hit the two bottom corners were also hit.
Freed from the awkward corner position, Young immediately entered his comfort zone
With each "swish" sound, the cheers in the Air Canada Center Stadium became louder and louder.
Hit the second shot
The third shooting point was all hit
The first two shots from the fourth shooting point were hit
With 13 consecutive shots hitting the net, the courtside commentators also began to popularize the record.
"Young has already tied Stephen Curry's record of 13 consecutive field goals set last year, and the only other player in front of him is 1991 Three-Point Contest champion Craig Hodges' record of 19 consecutive field goals.
"With seven goals left, he still has the possibility of making history."
Young, who had found the feeling, naturally had no problem with the 14th, 15th, and 16th goals.
After hitting 16 consecutive goals and scoring 26 points, Young began a deadly competition in the left bottom corner.
plenty of time
After taking a deep breath, Young shot his 27th point
"Dang" hit 16 consecutive goals and interrupted it, but it did not make any change in Yang's face.
He calmly picked up the second ball from the left corner
But fate seems to be playing a joke
This three-pointer crossed the bridge.
…………
…………
""Although he has a bit of a mean tongue, Yang, who has always maintained a humble and modest style, cursed someone on the field for the first time.
After scolding
Yang, who had paused for three seconds, quickly picked up the third ball in the left corner.
Then he threw the ball in his hand as quickly as possible
"Whoa!" Young didn't hesitate at all and scored his first goal of 8 three-pointers from the left corner.
Seemingly finding the trick, Young quickly threw up his penultimate three-pointer.
"Shua"
Got it with 27 points,
Young immediately started his 28th point shot
"28 points! 28 points! 28 points! The three-point contest record was broken after a lapse of one year,"
Last year, Stephen Curry broke the 25-point record held by Jason Kapono and former Bulls sharpshooter Craig Hodges for the first time in 7 years and 19 years.
No one expected that this record would not be maintained for a year (the 2015 Three-Point Contest was held on February 14)
Looking at the flight path of the last flower ball, Yang knew that the ball would not go in, but he did not wait for the result.
Instead, he trotted back to the bench.
…………
…………
"congratulations"
"By the way, what happened to the left corner?" Although he broke Curry's record, Curry still gave him a hug.
"I don't know either. I'll go back to my shooting coach and discuss it."
"If there are no problems in game training, then it is a psychological problem." After sitting down, the communication between Young and Curry continued.
"But that shouldn't be the case. I should have been used to the spotlight for a long time; it's impossible for me to be so abnormal."
"Then you look for the reason first. If you can't find it, we will discuss it in the offseason."
"good"
"Klay..." While the two were talking, Klay Thompson had already reached the third point.
When Clay scored 12 points after finishing the third point,
Yang was surprised to find,
13 14 15 16 18
20 22 24 26 28
Once Klay hits 10 consecutive hits, he will compete with Klay Thompson
equally divided
A 28-point rematch, how exciting!
A few minutes later, Yang regretted what he had said.
Because Klay Thompson successfully completed the requirement of ten consecutive hits
Scored the second 28 points of the game
"You two are really posing a problem for me." With two 28 points ahead, Stephen Curry suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"You should also score 28 points. All three of them played extra games. This should be a record." Young still likes records that are not related to the team's victory.
After all, Michael—who was everywhere—Jordan was his boss.
It's a pity that Yang's crow's mouth only worked the first time, but not the second time.
Stephen Curry, who played last, only scored 24 points in the finals.
With that, Stephen Curry became the first player among the three finalists to lose.
Young and Thompson entered the playoffs of the finals
…………

27 points vs 28 points
When two people have finished shooting their 25 balls,
