Chapter 479 Winning the Skills Challenge Championship and the Three-Point Contest with Full Scores
After the roundtable meeting, the superstar coaches left one after another.
About four hours later, the second day of the All-Star weekend started.
Today's competition only includes the skills challenge, the three-point contest, and the dunk contest.
Among them, of course the slam dunk contest is the most focused competition.
And this focus game is also scheduled to be held at the end.
The first thing that will be held is the skills challenge.
The skills challenge tests the basic skills of a defender. Players need to pick up the ball after the referee blows the whistle, then take the ball to the basket at the other end of the court, put the ball in or dunk it, and then pick up the second ball and dribble.
Go around a series of obstacles. After the obstacles is a chest pass, pass the ball into the designated basket, and then hit the ground pass. After the hit pass, there is a jump shot. After the shot is made, it is a long-distance shot.
After passing a long pass, quickly pick up another ball and dribble it through a series of obstacles, then put the basketball in and end the challenge. The time at which the above basketball is scored shall prevail, and the one with the least time will be the winner.
The Skills Challenge was introduced into the All-Star Competition in 2003. The champion in the first year was Jason Kidd, who timed 35.1 seconds, and last year's champion was Baron Davis, who timed 31.6 seconds.
The challenge is divided into two rounds. In the first round, four players participate, and the two players with the best results advance to the second round.
The two players will decide the winner in the second round.
The four people participating in the skills challenge this year are Arenas, Boykins, Nash, and Chen Jie.
At 7:30 in the evening, the skills challenge began. First, the four players were introduced. Then the on-site host introduced the rules of the challenge.
After that, the players warm up and the game officially begins.
The first person to appear was Boykins. Nash Arenas and Chen Jie were all sitting off the court. The three of them were still chatting and seemed very relaxed.
Although there are competitive elements in such games, compared to face-to-face competition throughout the game, there is much less competition. Many people often applaud their opponents for their outstanding performance.
The lights went off and on again, and the skills challenge officially began.
Boykins set off after the referee blew the whistle, and made a solid layup for the first time. Then, he dribbled the ball through a series of obstacles. Because of his height, Boykins' frequency was very fast, and he used
In just five seconds, Boykins came to the first pass point.
But today, Boykins didn't seem to have the feeling to pass the ball. It took him two times to complete the task at the first pass in front of his chest. The mistake in the first pass delayed him a lot of time.
Then there were ground passes, long-distance passes, and mid-range shots. Boykins didn't complete them all at once. He had to try at least twice each time.
In the end, Boykins ended the game in 44.5 seconds.
It was obvious that he was a little disappointed with his performance.
Chen, Jie, Arenas and Nash still stepped forward to high-five Boykins in celebration.
Arenas, who came on for the second time, performed even worse than Boykins. Except for Arenas, who completed the shot in one shot, he made mistakes in the other three passes.
In the end, Arenas's score was even worse than Boykins', taking a full 50 seconds.
Arenas himself smiled helplessly.
Boykins saw the hope of his promotion, and a smile appeared on his face.
Nash stepped forward to comfort Arenas. Arenas chatted with Nash for a few words, then came to his seat, high-fived Chen Jie Boykins one by one, took the drink and sat down.
With Nash on the court, he only needs a shorter time than 44.5 to reach the finals.
For Nash, this is easier than drinking water.
It only took Nash thirty seconds to complete all the tasks, and it seemed that Nash was very relaxed and did not use his full strength at all.
His performance also received bursts of applause from his opponents and fans.
At this time, many people feel that Nash should win the championship of today's skills challenge.
Compared with Chen Jie, although his shooting does not have much advantage, his passing feeling should be much better than Chen Jie's.
Chen Jie was the last one to appear.
Many superstars stood up to cheer Chen Jie, but the fans at the scene did not buy it. Chen Jie received the only boo to a player in today's game.
Public enemy of the city! Chen Jie feels that he is really the public enemy of Denver now.
35.6 seconds. Although Chen Jie took longer than Nash, he at least made it to the finals.
Arenas had already lost hope of promotion when Nash came on the field, so the moment Chen Jie's results were confirmed, Arenas was not disappointed, but Boykins originally expected that Chen Jie would be able to do it if he went out of his way.
Entering the finals.
The moment the results came out, his face immediately looked depressed, and he knew that he had no chance to prove himself.
However, both of them still congratulated Chen Jie and Nash in a very graceful manner.
After resting for about five or six minutes, the finals of the skills challenge began.
Because Chen Jie's score was worse than Nash's, he was the first to appear.
The fans at the scene once again gave Chen Jie deafening boos.
It doesn't matter if it's not given to Chen Jie. In the preliminaries, Chen Jie made two mistakes in the passing event, but by the finals, Chen Jie had already found the feeling.
After this series, Chen Jie basically made no mistakes. Except for a passing trap that tripped into the basket, which delayed Chen Jie for a few tenths of a second, Chen Jie completed several other items in one go.
Finally, with a powerful chop, Chen Jie ended the challenge.
His final time of Chen Jie was 28.7 seconds, which was a championship-level result in the previous two competitions.
But today, this is a bit uncertain.
Nash only ran in thirty seconds in the preliminaries, and he didn't even use his full strength. In the finals, Nash should be faster.
Denver fans also hope Nash can defeat Chen Jie.
But Nash was disappointing. In the previous projects, Nash completed the previous projects very smoothly, with very little time and running very fast. But when he dribbled the ball over the obstacles and made a layup to complete the final level of the challenge, Nash
He accidentally dribbled the ball to his feet, and the basketball flew away. Nash hurried to the sidelines to pick up the ball. This time wasted time.
After picking up the ball, Nash also knew that he could not win, so he simply slowed down.
Finally, 31.2 seconds.
Nash's results were even worse than in the preliminaries.
The time froze, the lights were dim, and a beam of light fell on Chen Jie. He won the skill challenge championship of the 2005 Denver All-Star Game!
Chen Jie won his second trophy in this All-Star trip.
Shortly after the awards ceremony, the three-point shooting contest began.
There are five points in the three-point shooting contest, namely two bottom corners, two forty-five degrees, and one top fox. Each point has five balls. The last ball is a flower ball. The flower ball is worth two points. The other balls are
All are one point. Full score is thirty points.
But in history, no one has ever scored a perfect score. Chen Jie remembers that the highest score was Kapono’s 27 points.
There are six people participating in the Three-Point Contest this year, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Korver, Leonard, Chen Jie, and Richardson.
The competition system of the three-point shooting competition is also divided into two rounds. In the first round, three winners will be determined to advance to the finals. The finals will be based on performance rankings.
Before the game, the popular candidates were Ray Allen Korver and Chen Jie. The three of them ranked among the top three in the league in three-point shooting percentage this season.
In fact, the development of the game has also proved that it is definitely not unreasonable for three people to have such a ranking.
In the preliminaries, Ray Allen scored 24 points, Korver scored 25 points, and Chen Jie scored 24 points. The three of them entered the finals together.
Leonard Joe Johnson Richardson just played the role of reading with the prince.
In the finals, Ray Allen felt like repaying his friend. He was the first player to play and hit all the balls in the first three points. It was not until the fourth point that he missed an ordinary ball. At the last point, Ray Allen kept up his efforts and hit all the balls.
, he scored an astonishing 29 points!
When the on-site commentators revealed this score, they were a little unbelievable.
He seems to have touched the championship trophy of the three-point shooting contest.
Maybe it was because the pressure from Ray Allen was too much, Korver's performance was a little abnormal, and he only scored 19 points in the end.
Chen Jie, the last one to appear, can only win the championship if he scores full points.
However, perfect scores have never appeared in history. How is it possible for Chen Jie to get perfect scores?
Many people didn't believe that Chen Jie could hit all of them, but Chen Jie proved with his performance once again that he appeared here just to break the record!
30 points! Chen Jie made all the hits, surpassing Ray Allen and winning the three-point shooting contest! (To be continued...)
