259: The most impressive 3-point contest of all time (5K(1/3)
Nowitzki stood there and scratched his head, as if he was not too smart.
Why the hell did you ask me to stand up just to cooperate with you?
Wang Defa!
Dirk cursed and sat back on the bench. He thought Wayne was here to cause trouble, but it turned out that this guy was here to cause destruction!
At this time, in the CCTV studio, Director Zhang received the latest news from the front, and he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"The latest news, the latest news! It is said that Xiao Wei told everyone before the game started that I have decided on the championship!
Hahahaha, this is indeed the player selected by Larry Bird, he does have his style!
Then we will wait and see what kind of performance Xiao Wei can perform!"
Director Zhang was too embarrassed to fully translate what Wayne said, because it was so inconsistent with the humble attitude that Chinese people admire.
But to be honest, I am so humble in the arena.
You can be humble after the competition, but in the competition, you just do it!
Even CCTV received the news, and it is clear that in the United States, Wayne's words before the game have spread throughout the United States.
Now, every fan who is watching the All-Star Game live knows that Wayne mocked his opponents in a very Larry Bird-like way before the game.
To be honest, fans are not surprised, this is Wayne's style!
Everyone is looking forward to it and want to see what will happen in the three-point contest.
The Three-Point Contest hasn't attracted so much attention in a long, long time.
In the past, whether everyone wanted to admit it or not, the three-point contest was really just a pregame performance for the dunk contest.
Just as the dunk contest is the main course, the three-point contest is the dessert.
No matter how delicious the dessert is, it cannot overshadow the main course.
But Wayne's words before the game made this performance-based three-point contest full of excitement.
Any competition that is mixed with the smell of gunpowder will attract much attention.
Wayne sat on the bench and looked at Kapono. To be honest, he was a little nervous.
If you do this, no matter whether you win the championship or not, it will definitely be impressive.
But... let go of these cruel words, it will be embarrassing if you don't win, okay?
If Bird had faked this but lost the three-point contest, then this sentence would definitely become a black spot in his career rather than a classic.
Likewise, if Wayne fakes a beep and loses the game, the reason he's so impressive is because he's the butt of everyone's jokes.
As the man with the highest force value and deterrence in the entire league, Wayne will never allow such a thing to happen!
When the game started, Kapono was the first to appear.
So far this season, Kapono's three-point shooting percentage is as high as an exaggerated 56%, making him the league's most accurate shooter from beyond the three-point line.
This is the data when the total number of shots exceeds 150. He currently takes a total of 159 shots in the regular season and hit 89, averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game. 5.1 of his total points of 11.1 points per game come from
Outside the three-point line.
This guy relies on three-pointers to establish himself in the league.
So as soon as he came up, Kapono shot very steadily and controlled the rhythm well.
In the end, Kapono scored a high score of 19 points!
19 points is indeed a high score. The NBA Three-Point Contest has not yet been reformed, so the full score is only 30 points, not 35 points in the future.
Therefore, a score of 19 points is considered an excellent score.
Last year, Dirk only scored 18 points in the second round, which was enough for him to win the three-point title.
The second person to appear was Mike Miller, who was also a good three-point shooter and shot very quickly.
In a flash, Miller finished all his shots and scored 18 points!
"Oh my god, when this year's three-point contest came up, the bar was set very high! One had 19 points, the other had 18 points. I want to see how Wei ends up." Cole, who was commentating on the three-point contest, laughed.
, this year’s three-point contest is really interesting.
Beside him, Reggie Miller was not worried about Wayne.
"A high level can bring out more potential in athletes!" Miller said.
Terry, the third Jet player to appear, was obviously stunned by the outstanding performance of the first two players.
His shots were very hasty, his rhythm was messy, and he only scored 10 points in the end, which basically meant he was eliminated early.
There are three people behind, and it is impossible for all three of them to score less than 10 points.
Terry smiled awkwardly, which was out of tune with today's high-level competition.
"It's okay, I'll help you get the championship back!" Dirk went up and touched Terry's head, then glanced at Wayne.
It's your turn, yellow-skinned Larry Bird! I want to see if you have the fate of Bird!
"Okay, now comes Wayne! Before the game, he told everyone that you can see the championship trophy, but only I can take it home. Arenas was angered by this, and Dirk didn't look too happy either.
Now, let’s see how Wayne responds!”
The whole audience was watching, and all the fans burst into cheers.
Yeah, what's the point of friendly confrontation?
What we want is real confrontation!
The ratings also soared, and Stern was dancing for joy: "More, more! I want it, I want it!"
Wayne stood up with his arms raised, enjoying the cheers and flashing lights.
But after standing up, Wayne did not directly prepare for the game, but walked towards the commentary table.
Wayne has said before that there are no gimmicks in the three-point contest. That's because the participating players are too honest or follow the rules.
The slam dunk contest can be performed and the plot can be designed, so why not the three-point contest?
The two commentators looked a little confused when they saw Wayne coming over.
Wayne walked up to Miller and asked him to come out and help him take off his training clothes.
"Oh? Wayne has some tricks up his sleeve in the three-point contest! Hahahaha, he is indeed the darling of the All-Stars!" Director Zhang stared at the court attentively, wanting to see what trick Wayne was going to do.
Everyone's appetite was whetted. Wayne's behavior was unprecedented in the three-point contest.
Miller was also surprised because Wayne didn't say what he needed to cooperate with before the game, so Miller didn't know what Wayne was going to do.
"What do you want me to do, Wei?" Miller rubbed his hands, a little excited.
"Just help me take off my training clothes from behind, Reggie." Wayne said, turning his back to Miller.
Then, Miller took off Wayne's training clothes.
Suddenly, Miller's eyes widened and he had goosebumps all over his body.
Because after taking off Wayne's training clothes, what he saw was the familiar maize yellow No. 31.
"This is dedicated to you, the historical three-point champion Reggie." After saying that, Wayne put on Miller's jersey and prepared to start the game.
Wayne had already had this idea of wearing Miller jerseys. For this reason, he also specifically asked Patterson and Paul Allen for their opinions.
After all, he had to wear the jersey of another team to compete, and Wayne was afraid that the management would be unhappy.
But surprisingly, both Patterson and Paul Allen were quite supportive of this idea.
Don't ask, just ask. Whatever Wayne did was right.
Let’s just put the record here. As long as the record is good, I can ask for anything.
Therefore, Wayne prepared such a retro Miller jersey, which was the same shirt that the waitress brought to Wayne the night before.
At this time, the cheers reached their first climax.
No one expected Wayne to make the three-point contest so entertaining.
Wayne has given fans an unprecedented viewing experience. Can the fans not cheer?
And in this history, because Miller has the experience of sticking to one city for eighteen years and winning the dream championship in the last year.
Therefore, his popularity is much higher than in the original history.
Many people call him the "Fairytale King" of the NBA. He has persisted for so long and finally realized his dream. What is this if not a fairy tale?
No player in the NBA has a more heartwarming ending than Miller.
So now, fans are even more excited to see Wayne paying tribute to his old teammates and a popular player who has retired.
Not to mention the fans, even Miller is gritting his teeth now.
In the past, he always felt that winning the three-point contest was not something valuable.
But now, he desperately hopes that Wayne can win the championship trophy.
Wayne passed by Dirk and Arenas, and their eyes were a little surprised.
