Chapter 961: 961. O'Neal's Successor
Chapter 961 961. O’Neal’s ‘successor’
Watching the three Trail Blazers celebrating together, it seemed like they had won the championship...
Ginobili, Elliott, and Harmon looked at each other, feeling the other person's desire to curse, and then they all smiled bitterly.
How the hell are you going to fight this?
But the pressure was gone all of a sudden. With the opponent's performance, it wouldn't be embarrassing to lose.
Don't worry, the pressure is gone. The three people performed extremely well and ended the game with a time of 26.8 seconds. This time can rank fourth in history, but the opponent's 21.8 seconds...
In the end, the Trail Blazers made a comeback, defeated the Spurs in the finals, and won the Shooting Star Challenge for two consecutive years!
Nash and Ginobili's teams came forward to congratulate him.
Ginobili was really convinced when he lost, it was so embarrassing!
Nash and Liu Xiu have a good relationship, and since he is last, he will congratulate whoever wins the championship.
No one from the Bulls came forward. Hinrich regarded Liu Xiu as his lifelong enemy, and Pippen couldn't stand Liu Xiu... To be precise, Pippen couldn't stand any other dynasty. He even had a quarrel with O'Neal over the air.
.
After the award ceremony, the eventing event is about to begin. The first to take the stage are the four contestants from the Skills Challenge, Deron, Paul, Roy, and Conley.
They are all players who entered the NBA in the past three years.
Liu Xiu joked to Kobe: "You have already scored 75 points for him, and he actually says he is your fan. Is it possible that he is paralyzing you and making you careless and underestimate the enemy when you play against him?"
Conley and Roy were both nervous. It was a game, who wanted to lose?
The overall performance was average, with only one player scoring over 20 points in the preliminaries, and Kapono scored 20 points.
Kobe was choked so much that he calmed down and said angrily: "Your home is in BJ, right? Then I'll go to your home!"
When the host called out the names of the four participating players in the slam dunk contest, the fans at the scene burst into the most enthusiastic cheers again.
Hamilton had 18 points, Nowitzki had 17 points, Gibson had 19 points, and Peja had 15 points.
However, this also relieved the overly excited emotions of the fans.
Howard, who had no pressure and knew he had a killer move, rushed onto the court and performed a dance show, which caused the fans to scream and laugh.
"Don't even think about coming to my house this summer!"
A panel of five judges including Julius Erving, Karl Malone, Magic Johnson, Dominic Wilkins, and John Dawkins took their seats.
It's a pity that Deron's face is...not ugly, but compared with Liu Xiu, fans find it hard to describe.
But Nash made all 5 shots at the last point and scored 6 points... Jordan's wild laughter turned into an embarrassing scene, which went viral...
Then the three-point contest began.
Paul did not give up and worked hard, but he was too impulsive and made more mistakes. He finished the final in 35.8 seconds.
"...That's right, you got 95 points from me, but you still treat me to dinner every time we meet."
Guy regretted signing up. There were 40,000 people in this battle...
Then, Paul suffered a Ginobili-style madness...
O'Neal missed the All-Star Game. Fans have felt a lot lonely in the past two years. Howard successfully 'inherited' part of O'Neal's popularity by playing tricks.
According to the latest rules of the Skills Challenge, if the difference in performance is within 1 second, it will be regarded as an 'error' and the results will be the same. Both the preliminaries and the finals will be decided by extra rounds.
This wave of operations has greatly increased Howard's popularity.
The preliminaries were quite intense. Conley, who was the first to appear, completed the preliminaries in 36.9 seconds.
Why does Kobe feel like he has fallen into a trap again?
The three-point contest was not as exciting as the previous two games. The fans felt that it was a bit boring. Kapono had no opponent. They really wanted to see the warden come out to punish this guy...
Paul's game was not fast-paced, but he completed the game smoothly and made few mistakes. With a time of 29.9 seconds, Paul eliminated Conley and Roy and joined Deron in the finals of the same year!
Paul looked at his results and felt that he was sure to win. The little fat guy was no match for his gunner!
The fans were quite happy to watch the showdown between the two prides in 2005.
Especially Deron's performance, fans seem to have seen Liu Xiu's performance last year.
Kobe responded: "You scored 76 points on him, and he invited you to dinner every time he met you."
…
If the last Paul to play has a lower record than the three of them, he will enter the playoffs.
"..."
Liu Xiu and Carter looked at each other and saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
Delong won the championship of this skills challenge!
Deron, who took the lead in the final, ended the game with the second best time in history of 25.5 seconds. Except for a three-iron shot, he made no other mistakes throughout the process.
Nash was the biggest highlight of the preliminaries - 9 points!
When Nash only scored 3 points after shooting the first 4 points, the onlookers named Jordan stood up and cheered.
Isn’t it good for everyone to behave well? You have to perform so well.
Deron, who played next, got a time of 35.8 seconds. Roy, who played third, got a time of 37.5 seconds, only ranking third, but not eliminated.
Liu Xiu nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, it's settled. I'll look for an arena to rent when I go back, and then teach me how to play high post."
Hamilton, Nash, Peja, Daniel Gibson, Kapono, and Nowitzki, who replaced Kobe, hugged Kobe and then came to the court.
"Well, I'm going back to China to play in the Olympics this summer, so I really can't go to your house."
Paul also complained a little about the Shooting Star Challenge, which was so exciting and added pressure to their game.
There is also the body shape. Liu Xiu has been fighting every year until now, and his body shape has basically reached a perfect level that makes people drool. The chubby classmate is just the warden in the early season version...
The Shooting Star Challenge got off to a good start, and the atmosphere on the scene was heightened. The four new generation talents were all working hard to perform well.
The three-point contest has begun on the court. Nowitzki participated in the three-point contest for the sixth time. His dream of winning the championship failed again, and he was eliminated in the preliminaries for the third consecutive year.
But there are also some O'Neal fans who hate Howard very much...
In the finals, Kapono continued to dominate. Without pressure, he scored 25 points, defeating Hamilton who scored 12 points and Gibson who scored 15 points.
…
There were also 95 professional fans selected by the NBA through various channels who came to the other half.
The host introduced the new final rules. The preliminaries will continue to be scored by 5 judges. The two people with the highest total score of the two dunks in the preliminaries will advance to the finals.
But it was different in the finals. There were still two dunks in the finals, but they were not scored separately.
The judges no longer have the power to decide who wins the dunk king. They can only choose to vote or not to vote, and their votes only account for 1 vote. Each of the 95 professional fans has one vote and they will choose the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.
The slam dunk king!
It also stipulates that there is no longer a time limit for the actions before dunking, but you can only try one pre-dumming action for each dunk. As long as you do it, regardless of whether the dunk is successful or not, even if you don't dunk, it will be counted as a dunk.
Chapter completed!
