The first player to play was Hamilton. He just threw everything around and scored 15 points on 13 of 25 shots.
15 points is not too small. If it had been for the 2000 All-Stars, they would have won the championship.
What's more, Hamilton is known for his mid-range shooting, so it's really surprising to achieve such a result.
When he finished his shot, the fans at the scene applauded one after another, and the players on the sidelines were also doing all kinds of mischief.
Billups loudly 'questioned' him: "Why, why, why didn't you shoot more three-pointers during the game, otherwise we would have won three consecutive championships long ago."
Hamilton covered his face and laughed.
"15 points is not bad, but it may be difficult to advance to the second round."
Smith commented.
In other seasons, 15 points might be enough to advance to the finals.
But there are too many three-pointers in this class, and Hamilton's results are a bit disappointing.
After Hamilton was Gibson. Gibson made all five goals and scored 6 points in the first position. There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.
However, he did not perform well immediately after that, hitting the iron one after another, and the final score was only 16 points.
It can be seen from Gibson's expression that he is obviously not satisfied with the result and thinks that he did not perform well.
This is normal.
The three-point contest championship requires strength and some luck, and it depends on on-the-spot performance.
The next person to appear is Pejaskovich.
In the era before Curry Harden debuted, Reggie Miller, Peja and Ray Allen were almost the best three-point shooters in the league.
Peja not only shoots accurately, but also shoots more. He has only played 10 seasons and has already hit 1,500 three-pointers, ranking among the top five in league history.
Peja scored 4 goals in the first position, but unfortunately he missed the ball.
When he reached the second position, Peja only scored 3 goals and still no free throws. The audience couldn't help but worry about him.
In the third position, Peja hit 4 more shots and missed the ball.
Until the end, Peja did not throw the flower ball.
He made 18 of 25 shots, which was a very high shooting percentage. Unfortunately, due to luck, he only scored 18 points.
After the vote, Peja shrugged helplessly.
But he wasn't too depressed, after all, he had almost entered the finals with 18 points.
Next up was Nowitzki.
As a power forward, this guy is keen on the three-point contest. This is his fifth time participating in the three-point contest, which is simply outrageous.
Although Nowitzki's three-point shooting is not bad, it is still incomparable to professional three-point shooters like Kapono and Peja.
When he came to the three-point contest, the focus was more on participating. If he was lucky enough, he would win the championship.
Nowitzki was very relaxed, and then he shot 9 points and ended up smiling.
Gibson was relieved when he saw this, and his chances of entering the finals were a little better.
Then Kapono appeared.
This guy is a true 'pure' three-point shooter, good for nothing except three-pointers.
In addition to three-pointers, Peja also has mid-range shots and breakthroughs.
Kapono only took more than 1,300 shots in his career, and nearly 1,100 of them were three-pointers.
Due to his lack of confrontation ability, this guy is not terrible in actual combat.
But in non-confrontation shooting training, he is almost the strongest presence.
In the original time and space, he scored 25 points in this three-point contest, setting a record. This record was not broken by Curry and others. Although Curry later scored 27 points, that was because the total points were changed to 34.
Getting 25 out of 30 points is obviously more difficult than getting 27 out of 34 points.
The timer starts.
Kapono's shots are almost the same every time, as if they are carved from the same mold.
The first group hit all five, and then the second group hit four, easily scoring 11 points.
The audience exclaimed.
Then his shooting percentage dropped, but in the end he still scored a super high score of 21 points.
This score has exceeded most previous champions, and qualification for the finals has been locked.
Gibson couldn't help but become nervous.
Next, Zhang Zhiyuan and Nash must make mistakes at the same time before he can advance.
However, do you expect Nash and Zhang Zhiyuan to perform abnormally at the same time?
Nash appeared first, and Zhang Zhiyuan was the finale.
This is actually an invisible manifestation of status. Now Zhang Zhiyuan's popularity has surpassed Nash.
Nash scored 4 in the first position and 3 in the second position.
The process seemed a bit bumpy, but in the end, he made 18 hits and scored 20 points.
Gibson was eliminated early.
Next, it was Peja's turn to be nervous. He only scored 18 points. If Zhang Zhiyuan exceeded this score, he would also be eliminated.
And this is a high probability event. No one would think that Zhang Zhiyuan could not score 19 points.
Everyone has confidence in Zhang Zhiyuan, but Zhang Zhiyuan does not.
He knows his own business, and excluding those three-pointers made with props, his three-point level is probably at the same level as Peja, or even slightly lower.
Although this level is excellent, it is definitely not a guaranteed win.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Zhiyuan decided to cheat.
Now that he has decided to cheat, Zhang Zhiyuan naturally does not want to be ordinary like others.
He chose the prop of ‘fancy shooting’.
[Fancy shooting: a performance prop, limited to informal competitions. After using this prop, the shooting rate of unconventional shooting is 80%, and the laws of physics must be followed. 】
The laws of physics need to be followed, which means that the shot must at least point towards the basket and cannot be thrown into the audience.
The referee was about to blow the whistle, but Zhang Zhiyuan signaled not to start yet. He wanted to drag the basketball stand in the middle to the logo.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan's actions, the audience was confused at first.
However, smart fans soon reacted.
"Oh, come on, does he want to make it more difficult for himself by shooting at the logo?"
Smith exclaimed.
"Good guy, it's him as expected."
Buckley sighed.
Regardless of whether Zhang Zhiyuan is just showing off or having fun, at least he has the strength and courage.
"cool."
“Super cool.”
"Awesome."
Before Zhang Zhiyuan started shooting, the fans at the scene were already climaxing.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a prepared blindfold, walked up to O'Neal, and asked him to test it first.
"Don't tell me you have to wear this thing to shoot."
O'Neill said in shock.
"Why not?"
Zhang Zhiyuan looked innocent.
"Madefak is so damn black, don't you plan to advance?"
O'Neal complained that he thought Zhang Zhiyuan was preparing to go on a tour for the sake of the show's effect.
The camera was pointed at Zhang Zhiyuan at all times, and this scene shocked the audience again.
Regardless of whether Zhang Zhiyuan can advance to the next level, the program's effect has already been achieved.
Stern's reaction to seeing the scene was also quite satisfactory, and he was also satisfied with Zhang Zhiyuan.
"It seems he has given up on promotion."
ESPN's commentator firmly said that even if he were killed, he would not believe that Zhang Zhiyuan could advance under such circumstances. This is unscientific and unreasonable.
"It seems that Xiao Zhang has realized the true meaning of the All-Star event, which is to play, winning or losing doesn't matter."
Zhang Lili commented, which can be regarded as smoothing things over for Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan will be eliminated later, but the fans will not be disappointed.
"He's always been good at playing."
Sun Zhengping echoed.
"Super long three-pointer? Blindfolded three-pointer?"
"It's a pity. Although shooting like this is fun, the championship is definitely out of the question."
"You guys are saying, is it possible? I'm just saying it's possible. Is it possible for Brother Zhang to be promoted while maintaining his career?"
A Chinese fan made a bold guess, arousing the expectations of others.
They didn't wait long, Zhang Zhiyuan was already ready for everything.
He reached the bottom corner and the clock started.
In the first position, Zhang Zhiyuan's performance was unremarkable at first, using the conventional method to quickly shoot, 4 of 5, and hit the flower ball, scoring 5 points.
However, the audience ignored this stage and wanted to see Zhang Zhiyuan's next performance.
After casting the first position, Zhang Zhiyuan quickly came to the second position and then put on a blindfold.
The first one failed, and the audience shook their heads.
Sure enough.
"Hahaha, you deserve it, you're out of luck..."
Before Barkley finished speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan had already thrown the second one and hit it.
"Waterfake, this is bullshit luck."
O'Neill exclaimed.
It's outrageous to hit even if you are blindfolded.
He thinks this is luck and it will never happen again.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan hit again.
Now the audience can be sure that Zhang Zhiyuan is not just doing it for the effect of the show, but he really intends to advance while living.
"I can't believe it."
Peja muttered to herself.
Originally, he was excited after seeing the preparations Zhang Zhiyuan had made and felt that his promotion was secure.
However, who would have thought that Zhang Zhiyuan would hit consecutive hits while blindfolded? This is unscientific.
Although experienced pitchers can close their eyes and shoot by feel, their hit rate will never be as high as Zhang Zhiyuan's.
It would be good if you can hit one or two out of 10.
As for Zhang Zhiyuan, he shot blindfolded five times and actually hit two of them, which is more accurate than most people with their eyes open.
After five shots, Zhang Zhiyuan took off his blindfold and ran to the logo, shooting as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't know what a terrible thing he had just done.
The audience has not yet reacted and is still in shock.
"This, this, this..."
Zhang Lili wanted to say that this was unreasonable.
But the fans may not like to hear it, but they endured it after all.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored 8 points in the first two positions, which made Chinese fans a little worried.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan's performance is shocking, the score of 8 is still a little low and not safe enough.
Unfortunately, they can't help, so they can only pray that Zhang Zhiyuan will win a few more in the future.
Super long three-pointers are much more difficult than ordinary three-pointers.
The greater the distance, the greater the difficulty. Another important factor is that players have less training in this position. After all, every player's energy is limited.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan did not follow this common sense at all. He also hit 4 at the logo, but unfortunately did not hit the flower ball, only 4 points.
After three positions, Zhang Zhiyuan scored 12 points.
The Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief. There were still 10 points left and they only needed to score 7 more points.
With Zhang Zhiyuan's strength, as long as he doesn't continue to act like a monster, there will be no problem.
Unfortunately, how could Zhang Zhiyuan not be a monster?
In the fourth position, Zhang Zhiyuan faced directly with his back to the basket.
"oh........"
Smith opened his mouth.
"Waterfake."
O'Neal stood up directly and made a hysterical look to express his feelings.
Buckley was dumbfounded and didn't speak.
"Don't be like this, Brother Zhang, I beg you to be normal."
"As expected of you, you have never let me down."
"Winning or losing doesn't matter, just show off and that's it."
Some Chinese fans can hardly stand it, while others are extremely excited.
Zhang Zhiyuan took action.
He threw the ball with his back to the basket and missed the first one.
Fans are not surprised at all.
It's outrageous how successful this can be.
Although there were several times in the game where shots were made with the back to the basket, don't ignore the denominator, which is luck in a large number of shots.
Throwing with your back to the basket, the hit rate is so low that it can be ignored.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan's second shot hit.
"Shet, Shet."
"There are ghosts, there are ghosts."
"When a miracle occurs, when a miracle occurs, it must be God coming."
American fans went crazy.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued to shoot but failed to score.
In the end, he only scored two goals in this position, and he didn't score any free throws, so he only scored 2 points.
This result is a bit poor, but no fan will think that Zhang Zhiyuan is not awesome.
You're throwing 2 out of 5 with the basket behind your back, what else do you need?
After four positions, Zhang Zhiyuan scored 14 points.
He must get 5 points for the last position, which is difficult, and Peja has a good chance of advancing.
However, Peja has completely lost interest in promotion at this time.
Even if Zhang Zhiyuan is eliminated, he is still the biggest winner today, and tomorrow's front page will definitely belong to Zhang Zhiyuan.
And they are just the soil under the flowers, not even the green leaves.
In the last position, Zhang Zhiyuan became serious and made 4 hits steadily, scoring 5 points.
Let's have fun and make trouble. Don't make fun of the championship. Promotion is a must.
After five groups, Zhang Zhiyuan made 16 of 25 shots, hit 3 flower balls, scored 19 points, ranked third, and successfully advanced.
The worst thing was Peja. He obviously hit 18, but unfortunately he didn't hit the flower ball due to bad luck, so he was eliminated.
Of course, he was also convinced that he lost.
Zhang Zhiyuan's 19 points is not the same as someone else's 19 points.
Peja asked himself, if he shot the way Zhang Zhiyuan did, he would score seven or eight points at most.
"It's better than showing off, even Bird can't do it."
"Who else? I just want to ask who else?"
"Good guy, I don't even dare to think like this when I'm lustful, but he actually does this."
After Zhang Zhiyuan successfully advanced, the fans were completely convinced.
It’s okay to be dissatisfied. With this kind of performance, what other reason is there to be dissatisfied?
Some of the hardcore Zhang Hei trembled and deleted their previous comments, preparing to change their minds and turn from being negative to being a fan.
Even if they don't necessarily agree with Zhang Zhiyuan's personality and character, as long as they are fans who like basketball, they can't refuse it.
Such an amazing idol.
"This is the most exciting three-point contest I have ever seen. I can guarantee that there will never be a more exciting performance than this in the future."
Buckley said.
"Although I am very unhappy, I have to agree with your point of view this time."
Smith said.
"Damn it, this guy tricked me again."
O'Neill said. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
