There are a total of 5 shooting points in the three-point shooting contest: two symmetrical at the base, two symmetrical at a 45-degree angle, and one at the top of the arc. Each shooting point has 5 balls, 4 of which (orange balls)
points, the last flower ball (red, blue, white) is 2 points. The flower ball is called a "money ball". The full score is 30 points.
The game is divided into two rounds, and each player has one chance in each round.
The top three teams in the first round advance to the finals.
The competition method of the second round is the same as that of the first round. If the scores are the same in the finals, additional games will be played until the ranking is determined.
In the first round of the competition, Curry's touch was average, but with his quick hands, he didn't waste a single shooting opportunity. With good luck, he scored all the next three flowers, and finally successfully advanced to the second round.
Cook, the last three-point contest champion, had a poor touch and was eliminated.
Billups, Gallinari and Channing Frye also performed poorly and failed to advance to the second round.
Only Curry, Pierce, and Belinelli are left in the second round.
Pierce's three-point shooting is still very reliable, but compared with sharpshooters such as Ray Allen and Peja, it's almost meaningless.
His advantage is that he has a strong psychological quality and does not suffer from stage fright. The bigger the occasion, the more energetic he becomes.
Belinelli's three-point shooting is better than Pierce's. His advantage is that he is young and has unique tricks.
As long as he plays, Belinelli's task is to shoot, and most of them are three-pointers.
Such a simple request left Belinelli with no distractions, and his projection became more and more accurate.
Coupled with Curry's company, Belinelli performed extremely well today.
Belinelli was the first to play in the second round.
Belinelli was a little nervous at the first point and his hit rate was not high.
However, after some adjustments, Belinelli scored four goals at the second point, including a ball.
Belinelli's shooting speed is very fast, and his hit rate is also very good.
In the end, Belinelli scored 21 points.
It's okay, it's considered normal performance for him.
The second person to appear was Pierce.
Compared to Curry and Belinelli, Pierce's shooting speed is a bit slower, which is a disadvantage for him.
Shooting 25 three-pointers in one minute, excluding the movement time, is basically one in two seconds.
The key is that you still have to ensure your hit rate.
Pierce is indeed a proven veteran. He has excellent psychological quality and performed very well.
In the end, Pierce scored 24 points.
This is already a very high score.
There are only 30 points in total, and you can only miss 6 goals at most!
If the missed shot is a flower ball, then 3 missed shots will leave you with only 24 points!
The last one to appear was Curry.
There was a lot of pressure on Curry, and Pierce performed very well.
In addition, it was Curry's first time participating in such a game, and his experience was somewhat lower than Pierce's.
However, Curry is not a person with stage fright, and his funny personality is more suitable for such occasions.
Of course, the most important thing is to be strong!
In normal training, you will always have an 80% hit rate, and you will have confidence no matter what time it is!
In normal training, you can only shoot 20% of the shots, but when the ball is thrown to you at the critical moment, won't you be trembling?
Since the first day he joined the Warriors, Deng Fang has clearly told Curry that your mission is to shoot!
As long as you want to invest, then be bold and invest!
It doesn’t matter whether you are a point guard or a shooting guard!
I believe in your shooting ability!
We can win the championship just by shooting!
This made Curry's self-confidence stronger.
For such a head coach, the only thing you can do is to train hard and live up to his expectations!
Curry usually spends a lot of time training on three-pointers.
This also allows Curry's three-pointers to maintain a very high level.
The first ball was thrown wide.
The second one is shorter.
The third one circled the basket twice and finally climbed out.
Someone on the sidelines said "Hey".
It shouldn’t be!
This is Curry!
Three consecutive misses?
But Curry is in no rush.
After sitting there for a long time, it took two or three balls to get the feel.
Curry waited for a second, then picked up the fourth ball and shot it decisively.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
The fifth one was a flower ball, and Curry still shot decisively.
Got in too!
Curry scored 3 points on the first point.
For a marksman like Curry, just scoring one goal is enough!
As long as the feel comes, it's a string!
The second point is all in with five points!
Got 6 points!
The third point is the top of the arc.
This position is Curry's sweet spot, and he usually spends most of his pick-and-rolls with Lopez here.
After blocking, as long as the opponent doesn't flank you, then take action!
Even if the opponent's big center comes up to defend, it's useless!
One feint is enough!
Whether you make it or not depends entirely on Curry's touch!
Curry shot quickly without any hesitation.
Another five all in!
15 points!
The fourth point is forty-five degrees to the right.
Curry shot very confidently!
For pitchers, as long as the feel comes, don't think about it!
Throw away all distracting thoughts and just vote!
Without such self-confidence, you are not worthy of being called a shooter!
Curry shot quickly and scored all five again!
Some people in the audience started screaming.
Wow!
Oh my god!
Scored 17 in a row!
There is no pause! Is this still a human being?
Is this the legendary Ku Ritian?
It’s really a day!
Even the commentator on the sidelines became excited.
I’ve watched Curry play before, but this is the first time I’ve seen Curry shoot like this!
Keep going!
Still shooting under a lot of pressure!
Only when you see it with your own eyes will you know what magic is!
Pierce's shooting is also very accurate, but compared to Curry, it is much worse.
Curry is not only accurate, he is also very fast!
This is just taking the ball and shooting it without thinking!
It feels like a blind sniper!
Open the camera and get a headshot in seconds!
It feels so good!
Curry ignored these voices on the sidelines and was very focused.
The last one ordered!
There are five balls left and 21 points have been scored!
Pierce scored 24 points.
That means you still need 4 points to win.
Even though I had scored 17 goals in a row, the pressure was still very high.
There are 5 balls in total, and the last ball is worth 2 points.
If the last ball is not scored, then all the first four must be scored.
Even Curry is under a lot of pressure!
Curry picked up the first ball, raised his hand and threw it.
Maybe I was thinking a little too much, but this time the basketball did not fall into the net bag, but hit the basket.
With a click, the basketball popped out.
Curry had just picked up the second ball, and when he saw this, he took his hand back.
There are 11 seconds left, enough!
If it were another person, he might have been anxious!
Fortunately, Curry shot quickly and didn't use much time.
Curry took a deep breath, then raised his hand and threw the ball.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
22 points!
There are three balls left.
As long as one enters, it will be easy to say.
Curry picked up the third ball and took a decisive shot.
