Chapter 274 Shadow, I want to win the three-point contest!(2/3)
Jordan is also here. Of course, he is not here for the three-point contest. As the lowest record holder in the three-point contest, he is obviously not interested in this.
He was invited to be a guest in the dunk contest. Because the three-point contest was followed by the dunk contest, he came to the venue early.
The three-point shooting contest is about to begin, and the first to appear is James Jones of the Heat.
He finally scored 16 points, a result that was not too good but not too bad either.
Next up was Ray Allen.
Ray Allen won a championship when he was still playing for the Bucks. After that, he tried to score twice but failed.
This year he is also getting stronger and stronger, scoring 20 points in the preliminaries, which basically locks in a spot in the finals.
After Curry, Durant will appear next!
When Durant came on the court, there were bursts of cheers.
In the past, complaints about trumpet matters were just complaints, but this season Durant really showed outstanding leadership skills and brought the Thunder to a new level.
Durant walked to the starting point and habitually shook his shoulders in preparation.
Lin Ying also looked at the field at this time.
Because he had an attitude that focused on participation, he basically didn't train very deliberately.
"beep!"
A whistle blew from the sidelines and the game started immediately.
The rules of the three-point shooting contest are very simple, that is, two bottom corners, the top of the arc, plus two 45-degree angles and 5 points, each point has 5 balls, and the last one is the flower ball.
Scoring an ordinary ball is worth 1 point, scoring a flower ball is worth 2 points, and the total score is 30 points.
"Dang!"
Durant's first shot hit the basket!
Fortunately, he quickly scored the second goal.
Scoring one goal out of two is not bad, but after five shots, Durant only scored one!
Now the sidelines suddenly became agitated.
Durant's first shot was a bit bad.
Then Durant immediately proved at the second point that he actually... could be a little worse!
He actually made 0 of 5 shots from the second point!
This time some of the stars on the sidelines began to have fun.
1 out of 10 shots from two points is outrageous!
Lin Ying was also stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted his forehead.
I almost forgot, Durant scored 6 points in the three-point shooting contest.
Because I didn’t remember the year very well, I guess it’s this year.
This... Durant's rhetoric before the game is still ringing in my ears.
"Shadow, I want to win the championship this time!"
"Dang!"
Durant made another continuous shot from the top of the key.
Lin Ying pulled his thoughts back from his happiness and carefully observed the reason why Durant was so strong.
After all, Durant is using actual combat to gain experience for him!
Good brother!
After observing for a while, Lin Ying discovered that Durant's main problem was.
He voted because he was too anxious.
This is mainly related to his shooting method. He is used to the jump shot used in the game, so each shot will take more time.
Because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish the shot, I quickly connected the shots.
The intuitive feeling is that the investment is in a hurry, and the rhythm is very uncomfortable as a result.
After the last point shot, Durant's score was indeed fixed at 6 points.
This time the stars on the sidelines were all happy, even Yao Ming laughed like the word "embarrassed".
Jordan couldn't hold back either, laughing and shaking his head.
It's a pity that he almost broke his record.
Jokingly speaking, breaking this record is no easier than breaking his other records.
Just like if you get a score of 0 on a test paper that is all multiple-choice questions, you also need to be quite strong.
Durant walked to Lin Ying and sat down.
Lin Ying refrained from saying anything. After all, he was his brother.
But what Durant said next made Lin Ying not stunned.
"Ying, I didn't say anything before."
Lin Ying nodded, then stood up with a smile.
Behind Durant, it’s him!
In the current situation, if he wants to reach the finals, he has to score 16 points.
To be honest, after watching the previous games, this is still quite difficult.
Even if you include flower balls, you have to throw at least 2 of the 5 balls in one spot.
This is basically a 50% shooting rate. Although it is open, it is definitely different from normal training in a limited-time game.
The good thing is that his three-point shot is a deliberate shot, so he doesn't have to compete for time.
And after seeing Durant, he felt more confident.
"beep!"
The game starts soon.
"when!"
Lin Ying's first goal confirmed his identity as a Mamba disciple.
And after shooting the first point, although the rhythm was better, he only scored 1 out of 5 goals.
I still feel a little uncomfortable with this competition mode.
This time the stars on the sidelines were happy again.
Especially for Jordan, touching his chin means a lot.
Co-author The Texas Twins played the role of comedians tonight, specifically to make them laugh!
But starting from the second point, Lin Ying began to gradually enter the state.
No one is a superman, it always takes some time to get used to it.
And his advantages are beginning to show, especially his psychological quality.
At the second point, he made 3 out of 5 shots, including the last ball.
Then, he scored 4 out of 5 goals from the top of the arc, which he is best at.
This is really slowly entering the state.
After shooting the last five points, Lin Ying scored 18 points!
After shooting the basket, Lin Ying took a long breath, then stretched out his right hand and made a fist on his chest.
This is really your best effort!
Although there is no guarantee that he will enter the finals, after all, there are Curry and Pierce behind him, but he can still be considered to have performed well.
Fans also began to cheer at the scene.
Lin Ying saved the face of the Texas Twins!
And what's very interesting is that when Lin Ying came off the court, Durant stood up excitedly and gave him a high-five.
That way, he had already forgotten about his 6-point shooting.
As expected of you, Kevin.
But this is Durant's character. Regardless of the score, if he is determined to be eliminated, Lin Ying will naturally be the one he supports now.
After Lin Ying is Curry.
Curry scored 17 points in last year's final, but unfortunately lost to Pierce. This year he made a comeback at the invitation of Durant.
His performance did not disappoint, and he also scored 20 points.
To be continued...
