Chapter 223 The king of three points, an insurmountable record
Is 22 points high?
high.
The current NBA three-point contest record is 25 points scored by Craig Hodges in 1986, but that was only in the preliminaries. After entering the finals, the final winner was Bird Lariber who shot 22 points.
Germany.
Before this year, the only scores that could exceed 22 points in the annual three-point contest finals were Mark Price's 24 points in 1994 and Steve Kerr's 22 points in 1997, plus Larry
Bird's time, three times in total.
So when Parson scored 22 points, both Artest and Arenas felt a little regretful. Who knew that Parson, an unattractive guy, was actually a piece of diamond.
Soon, Ray Allen came on the scene for the second time. He took a deep breath first. After the referee's whistle, he immediately took the ball and started shooting. But today's luck did not seem to be on the side of the defending champion. In the end, he only got 10 points.
It's 16 minutes.
"It seems that the person you are pressuring is going to lose..." Artest said with a smile.
Arenas also didn't expect Ray Allen to be so poor in the first round. "Don't worry, others may be worse."
He could only comfort himself in this way. In fact, looking at several other players off the court, he knew that it was almost impossible for Ray Allen to reach the finals with 16 points.
You must know that there are many players who signed up for the three-point contest this time, and these players are also very accurate. Take Steve Smith sitting on the sidelines for example. He made 70 of 124 three-pointers this season, with a shooting percentage of 56.5.
%, ranking first in the entire league.
Stojakovic made 70 of 159 three-pointers, a shooting rate of 40%.
Parson, who just scored 22 points, has made 67 of 142 three-pointers this season, with a shooting percentage of 47%, ranking fourth in the league.
There is also Steve Nash of the Mavericks. Nash made 79 of 173 3-pointers this season, with a shooting percentage of 45.7%.
Looking back at Ray Allen, Ray Allen made 90 of 206 three-pointers in the 28 regular season games he participated in this season, with a shooting percentage of 44%, which is not much higher than other players.
Looking at it this way, he really has a high probability of losing.
The next third player came on the field and scored 13 points...
The fourth 11 points...
The fifth 14 points...
Until Quentin Richardson came on excitedly, he only scored 15 points.
Ray Allen is still firmly within the quota for the finals, and the top three in the first round will advance to the finals.
The second round is played in the same manner as the first round.
If the scores are the same in the finals, additional games will be played until the ranking is determined.
Now only two players, Lu Yu and Peja, are left in the first round.
Arenas begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother: "Lu, why don't you abstain. Anyway, you can't vote for Peja. Let Peja and Lei compete for the championship."
Artest disagreed: "I think it would be best for Lu and Peja to enter the finals at the same time, and let your Ray Allen lose first."
If Lu Yu and Peja reach the finals at the same time, then Ray Allen will lose.
Because there are only three spots in the finals, Parson has already occupied one.
"Lu, you must enter the finals, otherwise this bet will be cheaper for Gilbert." Artest quickly squeezed Lu Yu's shoulders: "Peja has no problem entering the finals, he will do it no matter what."
Whether you can score more than 16 points is up to you, Lu, are you sure?"
"You should be sure."
Lu Yu smiled, pointed to the rack on the field where the ball was placed, and said, "It just feels awkward to get the ball from this rack. Isn't there anyone passing the ball to me?"
Artest's hand squeezing Lu Yu's shoulder suddenly stopped.
"Everyone calls me Silly Tai, but at this moment, I don't know why, I feel like I'm smarter than the boss of our team." - Artest's autobiography ten years later.
Sure enough, after a round of shooting, Peja finally scored 19 points and was determined to advance to the finals.
The suspense of the last spot will arise between Lu Yu and Ray Allen.
As the first round of the three-point contest is about to end, more and more fans are pouring into the arena. More fans are preparing to enter the venue to watch the subsequent slam dunk contest. As for the three-point contest, they also
I just squeezed in the time and entered the venue and took a quick look.
However, many female fans cheered immediately after seeing Lu Yu getting ready to play.
Lu Yu looked at where Scarlett Johansson was sitting in the audience and smiled slightly. The appearance of Lu Yu's handsome face on the big screen made the female fans at the scene scream again and again.
Scarlett Johansson is a little jealous. It was obviously me who worked hard last night, but today I became the universal male idol. This is not fair!
As the finale of All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game can only be placed at the end. Nowadays, many fans are increasingly fond of watching the appetizers before the All-Star Game.
The Rookie Challenge ended yesterday, and the media and fans all shouted that this Rookie Challenge was simply more exciting than the Dunk Contest and All-Star Game in the past few years.
Lu Yu broke two rookie challenge records in a row, and the amvp he won also made fans excited.
With the attention of all the fans, Lu Yu walked onto the court.
His eyes glanced at the basketball at five points on the court, and he mentally figured out which direction would make it easier to get the ball.
"Hey, is that black-haired kid Lu Yu, last year's No. 2 pick?" a fan asked a friend next to him.
"Yeah, that kid beat us at the beginning of the season. Now his Bulls' record is far ahead of Philadelphia. His passing is very powerful..." This fan remembered that Lu Yu led the Bulls to win 76 at the beginning of the season.
The human race said.
Due to Lu Yu's outstanding performance this year, he has attracted the attention of all the fans. Basically every corner is discussing Lu Yu. Some fans even think that Lu Yu will grow into a superstar in the next few years, but everyone is not sure whether he can
There is no hope of winning the three-point contest.
After all, the participants this year are historical three-point shooters like Peja and Ray Allen.
When the whistle sounded, Lu Yu took the ball and shot directly. The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air. Before the first ball fell into the basket, Lu Yu had already picked up the ball and started shooting the second one.
"Oh my god, Lu Yu's shooting speed is too fast."
Everyone discovered that Lu Yu had not made any adjustments after shooting. When the first ball fell into the basket, the second ball had almost just flown a short distance away from his hand, followed closely by the third ball.
"The three-point contest is about accuracy, not speed?"
"But...he seems to be very accurate..."
The fans' eyes widened in surprise. He had no intention of looking at the time on the timer. He just wanted to see how many goals Lu Yu could hit with such a fast shooting speed.
Hit!
Hit!
Off the mark.
Keep hitting!
Still a hit!
In the end, after Lu Yu easily threw the last three balls, the audience was silent. Everyone was stunned when they saw the score of 23 points displayed on the scorer.
Among all players, Lu Yu's shooting time was the shortest, more like his shooting rate in actual combat, but Lu Yu's score was the highest in the game.
Arenas was also stunned on the sidelines, and then immediately became angry: "Lu Yu, you liar!"
Artest pouted, stretched out his hand and took the $10,000 from Arenas: "Here you go, you have already lost."
After the silence, the audience immediately burst into warm applause. This three-point contest was really exciting!
If you just shoot slowly and leisurely, it won't show the level of an NBA player at all. This kind of shooting speed is decent, and it looks much better than the frequent missed shots in the past.
There were two high scores this year. I thought Parson's 22 points were high enough, but I didn't expect that Lu Yu's 23 points were not only higher than him, but also took less time than him.
Quentin and Artest also applauded in embarrassment, because they knew that Lu Yu had never practiced these things, so they were so unfavorable about Lu Yu before the game.
Especially Quentin, seeing that Lu Yu didn't practice, he didn't practice either, and he ended up scoring 15 points.
Lu Yu...this guy must have practiced secretly!
The final will be between Lu Yu, Stojakovic and Parson.
Perhaps it was because Lu Yu’s shortest 23 points had such a huge impact on the other two players. Parson performed abnormally in the final and only scored 17 points, while Stojakovic only scored 18 points.
.
The pressure came to Lu Yu.
If Lu Yu scores less than 18 points, Stojakovic will win the three-point championship, and Artest will also win the final $20,000 prize.
If Lu Yu scores more than 18 points, then Lu Yu will not only win the three-point championship, but also win the 20,000 US dollars.
Lu Yu appeared again, and the audience burst into warm applause. Everyone looked forward to Lu Yu giving another wonderful performance.
The moment the referee's whistle blew, Lu Yu took the ball and threw it out faster than the last time.
get the ball,
shooting,
hit.
The whole action was completed in one go, and until he scored the last ball, the fans in the audience couldn't believe that everything in front of them was over.
"What just happened?" A fan rubbed his eyes hard.
"How is it possible, everyone got in?"
"The speed is faster than before, and this 100% hit rate..."
"Oh my god, how did he do that?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either."
Lu Yu didn't expect that his condition would be so good today. Although he was confident that he could shoot well, things like the three-point contest not only involve strength but also a lot of luck. Who knows how good he felt that day?
is bad.
Obviously he had good luck today and had a good special competition.
Lu Yu felt pretty good when he was shooting. The feel of the hand is very metaphysical, just like the breathing method of fire can bless the touch. It is also a very metaphysical thing. You may not know if it will be blessed more one day.
Don't let your hands feel cold one day.
Moreover, with a perfect score of 30 points, I guess no one can break it until the rules are changed in the future, right?
Not only did he win the three-point title, he also set an insurmountable record.
After making the last ball, Lu Yu quietly listened to the cheers of the fans. He knew that he had won the three-point contest this time...
Well, I got ten thousand, ten thousand and twenty thousand US dollars.
As for the trophy, it's not worth anything.
Lu Yu, who had won the three-point contest championship trophy, briefly accepted an interview. After a lap of thanks, he said that it was pure luck that he won the prize, and that the other players were also very capable.
Lu Yu walked to the sidelines holding the trophy, looked at the twinkling eyes of Artest and Arenas, and stretched out the devil's hand.
