The three-point shooting contest started with cheers from all the fans, and Lian Dao was lucky enough to be the fourth one to appear.
There is a rule in the three-point shooting contest, that is, the player with the highest score within the one-minute time limit wins.
There are a total of five shooting points, 180° three-pointers from the bottom corners on both sides, 45° three-pointers from both sides, and 90° three-pointers in the middle.
The rules of the Three-Point Shootout Contest have not been changed yet. They still follow the rules from the beginning of the Three-Point Shooting Contest. That is, five balls will be placed at each shooting point. The first four are ordinary balls, and the hit is worth one point. The fifth ball is
If you hit the flower ball, it will be worth two points, which means the maximum score is 30 points.
This rule was changed in 2014. The rules at that time were modified to allow players to design a shooting spot and put five flowers in it, so the maximum score became 34 points.
In 2020, the NBA revised its rules again. On the basis of retaining the original rules, two ultra-long three-pointers were added, and the two ultra-long three-pointers were counted as 3 points. The highest score in the three-point shooting contest was also
Improved from 34 points to 40 points.
In fact, it can be seen from the changes in this three-point shooting competition that the NBA will pay more and more attention to outside shooting in the future.
Pierce was the first to appear here. He only scored 1 point at the first point and only hit one of the four ordinary balls. The first flower ball also popped out of the frame. It can be seen that the first appearance had a great impact on him.
of.
However, Pierce is worthy of being a veteran superstar. He adjusted his condition in time and shot better and better after that. However, he was a little anxious on the last paintball, and the flower ball came out of the basket again, and finally scored 17 points.
Pierce shook his head when he walked down, as if he was not satisfied with his performance, but at present he could only pray that the next five players would not perform so well. Although it was entertainment, no one wanted to be eliminated first.
.
It would be a bit embarrassing to finally participate once and be kicked out in the first round.
Billups was also ready, and he hit all four shots at the first point.
After seeing it, Lian Dao couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a champion point guard, his shooting is really stable."
I don’t know if it was because of his bad temper and sharp tongue. As soon as he finished saying this, Billups’ last ball came out of the basket.
What a slap in the face.
Next to him, Curry also heard what Lian Dao said. He originally wanted to nod in agreement, but when he saw Billups coming out of the basket, he burst into laughter.
Lian Dao also looked a little embarrassed.
What's going on? Could it be that Buckley is possessed?
After missing the first flower ball shot, Billups' performance was relatively stable, but when it came to the last point, time was a bit running out. Billups was a little anxious to take action. At the last point, Billups
Billups missed his first three shots, then hit his fourth shot, but missed the last ball again. Billups currently has the lowest score of 16 points.
Billups looked a little unhappy when he came off the court. He had been laughing at Pierce in his heart just now, but he didn't expect that he didn't score as high as Pierce. This was a bit embarrassing.
Pierce breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Fortunately, he was not at the bottom.
The elementary school student Curry came on for the third time. Curry made the same mistake as Billups on his first point. He hit the first four balls and missed the last flower ball.
Lian Dao, who was preparing to go on stage, was also amused. If you laughed at me just now, retribution is coming.
Then the second point was the same as the first point, the first four ordinary balls were all hit, and the flower ball was missed.
This made Lian Dao a little suspicious. Are the flower bulbs in this guy's hands poisonous?
Or is it that today's bouquets were just taken out of the hot water and are hot to the touch?
Curry finished all his shots and only hit one flower ball in the game, but he still scored the highest score in the game with 18 points.
Although the primary school student received the current highest score of 18 points, his eyes looking at Lian Dao were full of resentment.
That look made Lian Dao, who had originally planned to signal his preparations, shudder deeply.
Then he stopped looking at Curry, adjusted his posture, and signaled the start. The one-minute countdown had also begun.
The first ball may have felt a little cold and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
But Lian Dao didn't panic. He adjusted his shot slightly and hit the second ball, followed by the third and fourth ball.
When it comes to the first flower ball, there are lessons learned from the previous Curry, Bills and Billups.
Lian Dao also paused for a moment, adjusted his posture, and then took out the flower ball in his hand.
"brush!"
Fortunately, I didn't overturn the car.
Immediately, all the second points were hit, two ordinary balls were missed on the third point, one flower ball was missed on the fourth point, and all the fifth points were hit.
After all Lian Dao's votes were cast, there were still 6 seconds left.
Lian Dao made 21 of 25 goals and scored the highest score of 25 points in the game.
As soon as the score came out, the audience burst into the warmest cheers, and many fans shouted Lian Dao's English name loudly.
When he came off the stage, Lian Dao also waved to all the audience.
25 points, as soon as this score came out, everyone felt the pressure. At this time, Billups had already put on the mask of pain, and he was eliminated.
Paul Pierce doesn't look very good either. Once someone else performs better than him, Pierce will be eliminated next.
Curry, a primary school student, was not laughing and joking at this time. He was also a little nervous now.
In fact, the most painful ones are not the previous three, but the two who are about to appear.
Lian Dao's score also put a lot of pressure on the next players.
The fifth player to appear was center Channing Fletcher. It is not uncommon for inside players to participate in the three-point shooting competition, such as Nowitzki before, but there are relatively few.
I don’t know if Qian Ning Fulai was influenced by Lian Dao. Although he scored 5 points on the first point, he had three-pointers on other points that crossed the line, so many of the shots were ruled invalid. In the end, he only scored 15 points.
disuse.
Curry, a primary school student, also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. No matter how the defending champion performed in the end, Curry had passed the first level.
As long as you are not eliminated in the first round, you will definitely have a chance next time.
I have to say that the mentality of primary school students is still good.
The defending champion Cook played in the finale. If the previous ones did not perform well, then Cook would have a psychological advantage by playing in the finale, but Lian Dao's 25 points directly deceived him.
So the performance at the first point was very bad, none of the five balls were hit. The second point was adjusted and four balls were hit, but the last flower ball was lost.
He only scored 4 points in the first two points. Could it be that Cook wanted to pay tribute to the Chicago braised eggs, but the braised eggs are no longer on site!
At the third point, Cook once again missed all his shots, which basically meant that Cook was eliminated.
Because even if he hits all the next two points, he will only reach 16 points at most, which is still one point behind Pierce, who currently has the lowest score.
At this time, Cook didn't know if it was because he already knew the reason for elimination. He seemed to let go of his psychological burden. In the next two points, he only missed one ordinary shot and got the same score as Channing Fulai.
Score 15 points.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to let go of his psychological burden.
Now the host also announced that Lian Dao, Curry and Pierce have entered the second round: the finals!
Billups, Channing Fulai and Cook were eliminated.
Since Lian Dao had the highest score in the first round, he was the last one to appear in the finals.
The first player to appear in the three-pointer final was Pierce.
No way, he had the lowest score among the three players.
Pierce paid special attention to the flower balls this time. Each ball scored two points, and five flower balls accounted for 1/3 of the highest score.
However, his shooting percentage of ordinary balls was not very good. He only hit 10 of 20 ordinary balls and hit all 5 flower balls, scoring 20 points.
This score did not put any pressure on Lian Dao.
He sat on the bench and smiled, watching the clouds roll and relax.
As soon as Pierce's score was tallied up, the camera focused on Lian Dao's smiling face.
"Ah! My husband looks so handsome when he smiles. I'm almost fascinated to death."
"Xiaolang Hoozi, that's my husband, but he's really handsome, ah, I can't do it anymore..."
"I want to crawl into his bed, even if it's just for one night."
