One Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight. Curry Is as Beautiful as a Painting!

"The host uses an exclusive special card for the All-Star Triathlon Day: Are you here to compete for second place? You have chosen to participate in the three-point contest. The host will enter a hot state and will unconditionally temporarily possess the highest three-point ability that the host has ever achieved. (Including star experience card bonus status and skill bonus status).”

“The host’s temporary three-point evaluation is SS (three-point SS in the top arc area, three-point S+ from the right sideline, and three-point S+ from the left sideline).

Temporary skill: Quick Shot Master Level 5. "

"Quick Shooting Master Level 5: When the host chooses to shoot quickly, if the shooting time is not less than 0.4 seconds, the shooting stability will be guaranteed to the greatest extent."

Sure enough, as Sun Ce had thought before, the three-point ability bonus he had was not the big bird, but the effect of the primary school brother's pinnacle card!

After a few days of practicing four position moves, I quickly found the shooting feeling, the effect of the special card became hot, and I had the strongest three-point bonus effect of the star experience card I had ever used...

Sun Ce's body trembled and he looked at the six top three-point shooters standing opposite...fuck them!

But the reaction of others at this time... Abby Hornacek was frightened by Sun Ce's words.

She just wanted to stir up the topic during the live broadcast. Even if Sun Ce low-key said that he would work hard and wait, it didn't matter. His question had already raised the topic. The fans didn't need the answer, or the fans didn't need them. If they don’t want to hear the answer, they will discuss the “answer” themselves.

But, good guy, Abby Hornacek didn't expect that the little brother in front of her was even more arrogant than she thought! Moreover, after creating the worst performance in the history of the three-point contest last year, he is still so arrogant now.

When the fans at the scene heard this, they started to boo. They came to watch the excitement. The superstars who did not participate in the three-point contest but came to watch the game also started to boo.

Hearing Sun Ce's words and the booing at the scene, the other six participating players... It is impossible to say that they are not at all upset. Not only are they not at all, but they are very uneasy and mixed with displeasure!

Even little brother Clay is very unhappy. Why does this third brother deserve more and more beatings?

Other superstars tend to become more mature as they play basketball, but this guy becomes less talented the longer he plays basketball!

Sun Ce’s successful experience of showing off in the past, these six players who participated together are not very far apart from when Sun Ce entered the NBA. Even Klay Thompson and Lillard are only two to three years behind Sun Ce. In 2012 The players of that year,

He can barely be considered as a contemporary player with Sun Ce. Even Lillard, who has not played against Sun Ce many times, is still deeply impressed by Sun Ce's titles such as forcing the king and the modern bird.

However, due to Sun Ce's amazing performance in last year's three-point contest, and these players, they are very confident in their three-pointers. They have feelings of fear in their hearts, but they are more unhappy!

They felt that Sun Ce was playing psychological warfare!

It’s not surprising that they have such an idea, because although only Curry’s three-point shooting average per game is higher than Sun Ce’s, the others, just pick one out, all have a higher three-point shooting percentage per game than Sun Ce!

Lillard averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game and his three-point shooting percentage was 39.4%.

Harden averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game and his three-point shooting percentage was 38.6%.

Klay Thompson averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game and shot 44% from three-point range.

Curry averaged 4.2 three-pointers per game and his three-point shooting percentage was 43.7%.

Morrow averaged 1.3 three-pointers per game and made 53% of his three-pointers.

Irving averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game and his three-point shooting percentage was 38.9%.

The number of hits varies, but the hit rate, the lowest of which is Harden, is higher than Sun Ce's 37.2% three-point hit rate!

Sun Ce's ability to throw three-pointers like crazy and still maintain a top-notch shooting percentage. Among these people, only Curry can do it on a daily basis. Klay Thompson can't do it in most situations, and others can't do it even more.

However, they are not afraid of Sun Ce with this kind of fixed-position five-point shooting!

Moreover, although Sun Ce's skills are becoming more and more comprehensive, he has never been a player with no blind spots. The mid-range shot has become blind spots recently, but for three-pointers, Sun Ce played 54 games this season and averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game. A total of 210 three-pointers were made.

However, there were 145 shots within a 45-degree angle on both sides, 50 shots on the right sideline, and a total of only 15 shots on the left sideline!

Although Sun Ce played a strange trick when he could not develop a mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone. He used his left hand to shoot from the left side of the three-second zone and the left baseline. He practiced it hard, but the three-pointer with his left hand was not Haven't practiced it yet? At least this year is a chance! Another chance to ravage Sun Ce!

After a rough calculation, these brothers feel that even if Sun Ce has specially practiced three-point contest-style shooting this year, they will still have an innate positional advantage!

Moreover, some of them are not vegetarians, they are really good, real top three-pointers!

Another point is that they are too envious and jealous of Sun Ce's treatment. Why should Sun Ce get special treatment? He actually found a beautiful woman to follow Sun Ce for an interview before the game started!

The players had different thoughts. David Stern, who was watching the game in a private room, saw the atmosphere exploded by Sun Ce. He could guess the reaction of the fans in front of the TV!

This player is so different from other players, he is simply a walking idiot!

However, such a player is very suitable for surviving in the NBA, a place of fame and fortune. Of course, the premise is that he has strength... But, among the current players, who is stronger than this guy?

"Should we arrange him to participate in other events in the future? It doesn't matter whether he can win the championship or not. This guy will definitely be popular in any event!"

...

The host almost didn't know how to continue. Fortunately, he was professional. After the staff removed the facilities of the skill challenge and arranged the facilities of the three-point contest, he used the intercom headset to notify the lighting technician, and the lights on the scene dimmed.

The fans who had just gradually quieted down cheered again after the lights dimmed.

At this time, the big screen lit up. Because a useless vice president was idle and was responsible for thinking about how to change the rules of the All-Star Weekend, this year's three-point contest was special. It was not the manual draw in the past, but the random draw on the big screen. Whoever's name appeared, the next stick would be whoever.

The big screen randomly rotated and showed the names of the seven participating players. In the end, the name left on the big screen was Damir Lillard!

The big screen went dark, and the positions of the seven participating players were arranged by the staff. The spotlight was on Lillard, who was standing on a fluorescent tape!

Except for Morrow, who was not very popular, the other players participating in the three-point contest this year were all popular stars who entered the NBA in the past five years!

Lillard's popularity was not high, but it was not as high as that of several other players. He must be the best among the new generation of players in the minds of fans.

Moreover, Lillard participated in all five events this year, except for the Celebrity Game and Shooting Star Challenge, which are generally not counted as All-Star Weekend honors!

Lillard, who just won the Skills Challenge, rested for less than 15 minutes and immediately participated in the second event, and was the first to play. The freshness brought to the fans at the scene, in front of the TV and in front of the computer by winning the Skills Challenge championship has not yet passed, and Lillard received cheers from the fans in the audience!

Lillard walked to the half court of the game, and the lights gradually became brighter. Under the guidance of the referee, Lillard chose the 45-degree angle on the left as his "good point".

When the referee placed the game ball at each position, Lillard came to the right bottom corner and moved his body to adjust his shooting action.

Sun Ce put his mind away and watched others play first. He was a little glad that he didn't come first. He really had no experience in this aspect of the game. Watching other people's games, if Lillard performed well, he could explore the opponent's position movement skills. There is still a difference between practice and actual combat.

If Lillard did not perform well, he could also try to avoid the same problem.

After the referee was ready, he signaled Lillard to start the game. After Lillard responded, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. The timers on the technical table and the basket responded and started the 60-second countdown. Lillard also started his performance.

Maybe Lillard's speed of getting into the state is the strongest among all the players tonight!

Lillard scored all 5 goals in the first point!

However, at the second point, Lillard missed the first three shots due to position movement, distance change, angle change, etc., but scored the fourth and fifth shots.

In the top arc area, Lillard missed two shots again, and the next two shots scored, but the flower ball didn't score.

At the 45-degree angle on the left side, which was full of flower balls, Lillard felt back, and he made 4 of 5 shots, raising his score to 19 points!

If it was the previous three-point contest, it would be difficult to score more than 20 points if the first three points only scored 11 points.

But now with the new rules, Lillard's fourth point shot soared to 19 points when he only scored 11 points in the first three points!

In the last left bottom corner, Lillard missed the first two shots, and then all the next three shots were scored!

The result of the first contestant came out, and Lillard scored 23 points!

This result attracted cheers from the fans on the scene!

If it was in the past, this result would have 100% entered the finals. If this performance was shot in the finals, there would be an 80% chance of winning the championship, because the highest score record of the three-point contest is 25 points.

However, seeing that Lillard scored 8 points even though not all of his shots went in… The change in the scoring method made the 23 points that seemed like a good score to win the championship in the past, unexpectedly, unsafe for the fans.

The referee watched the replay and confirmed that every shot of Lillard was outside the three-point line. After confirming the score, the host announced Lillard's score.

The scene darkened again, and the second player to be drawn to play was Morrow, who had won the three-point contest championship.

Morrow also chose the 45-degree angle on the left as his "good point", but Morrow's performance was not as good as Lillard's. He only scored half of the total score of 34 points, 17 points. Among the points he chose, Morrow shot the worst, only scoring one, while other positions scored two or three goals, and all the other positions scored.

Next was Klay Thompson… 11 points! Klay Thompson had just finished shooting the fourth point when the countdown ended...

It was time for the fourth contestant to appear. The randomly selected contestant was the super three-point shooter who was considered the favorite to win the championship tonight - Stephen Curry!

When the spotlight was on Curry, the cheers he received were higher than the top three players combined.

Think about last season, Irving was the most popular point guard in the West besides Sun Ce, and Curry had to rank behind Harden, Paul, and Parker, but in the latter part of last season, Curry had the momentum to surpass these people.

This season, Curry played for a month and directly squeezed Sun Ce to the frontcourt. It is true that the league wants Curry to be an All-Star starter, but the league has such an idea, and it is Curry who has fought for it himself and got the opportunity by his performance.

Although he is not as strong as Sun Ce's single-game burst three-pointer, Curry soars every two or three days. With the same high three-pointer attempts and high hits, Curry's three-point performance is even more exaggerated than Sun Ce's!

In the first year after the end of the rookie contract and the new contract took effect, Curry is already the No. 1 three-point shooter in history in the eyes of fans!

Curry is different from others. He chose the top arc three-pointer as his "good point". After the referee was best prepared, Curry nodded to indicate that he was ready. The referee blew the whistle, and Curry's performance began!

From the second ball shot from the first point, the fans at the scene couldn't stop cheering because of Curry's shooting!

From Curry grabbing the ball to shooting... According to the real-time data given by the computer at the technical desk, the interval between each shot is an average of 0.54 seconds! Curry had already thrown the second ball before the first ball fell!

This is 0.13 seconds faster than Curry's historical record of 0.67 seconds per shot last year! If you only look at the time from holding the ball firmly to lifting it to shooting it, the time is less than 0.4 seconds!

Moreover, unlike last year when people regarded Curry as "blindly throwing", Curry's hit rate has increased significantly this year. Obviously, like Sun Ce, he has practiced specifically for this project, and no longer superstitiously believes in his three-point accuracy in the game, and trains specifically for the rules of this game.

Curry did not deliberately ensure the accuracy of the flower ball, but ensured the speed and stability of the shot, which gave him more time to make adjustments after changing positions. He had to stop for almost 3 seconds every time he changed positions, and during these three seconds, the fans were more anxious than him, cheering and shouting crazily.

42 seconds later, Curry had finished shooting all 25 balls. There were 18 seconds left in the game, and Curry had finished the battle!

Moreover, unlike last year when he shot all the balls quickly but only scored 15 points, this time, Curry scored more than 3 balls per point on average! A total of 18 balls were scored!

4 of the 5 flower balls at the top arc were scored, plus the flower balls at the bottom corners on both sides and the 45-degree angle on the left, Curry scored a total of 25 points! Tie the historical record of the three-point contest!

Before the game time was over, Curry had finished shooting, patted his chest and pointed to the ceiling, twisted his shoulders and walked back to the rest area for the participating players.

The group of players on the sidelines were all excited, especially James and Kobe, they wanted to see Sun Ce get beaten.

Curry's arrogant look once again set off cheers at the scene.

Fast and accurate!

Sun Ce was amazed at how stable Curry's three-point shooting was! The key is that this guy is so arrogant that he doesn't care about the length of the game and throws the ball very quickly, but he can still have a hit rate of 18 out of 25!

As the referee confirmed the score, the technical station confirmed that Curry surpassed Lillard and ranked first in the preliminary score tonight.

The lights on the scene dimmed again, and on the big screen, the names of the three players who had not yet played began to rotate randomly...

"Ladies and gentlemen, next, the one who is about to play is our superstar Lord Noah!"

When Sun Ce saw his name appear on the big screen, he felt pressured all of a sudden. He actually played after Curry. Even if Curry was at his peak and had three-pointers, Sun Ce felt a huge pressure!

Even if it was Curry at his peak, he might not be able to shoot 18 out of 25 in the three-point contest! Sun Ce remembered that Curry seemed to have participated in many three-point contests, and would participate almost every year in the future, but he only won one championship.

Just as Sun Ce was about to walk towards the half court of the game, the beautiful reporter next to him began to ask: "Lord, what do you think of Curry's performance? Will it affect you?"

"..."Sun Ce looked at Abby Hornacek speechlessly. He was very nervous at first, but after hearing this, he was not nervous anymore and wanted to complain like crazy.

Does Sun Ce think this girl has a grudge against him? If someone else had said this at this time, the pressure would definitely become greater. Fortunately, he was more speechless and responded: "Fortunately, I am actually more nervous when you stand next to me."

Ignoring Abby Hornacek's thoughts, Sun Ce walked onto the court. Like Curry, his designated "good point" is the top arc.

Walking onto the court, Sun Ce was originally filled with anxiety and pressure, but at this moment, he quickly calmed down.

"Kobe Bryant's characteristic transformation skill: Cold-blooded killer is triggered. The host can always keep the game focus with a calm mentality during the game."

This is quite unexpected. Sun Ce didn't expect this skill to be triggered.

But it is not strange that it is triggered. The effect of this special card is "including the bonus state of the star experience card and the bonus state of the skill". If it is a bonus for three-pointers in the game, the skill transformed from Kobe's characteristic must also be effective for three-pointers! Being calm, not panicking, and shooting steadily are definitely very important points in shooting.

Watching the referee release the ball, Sun Ce suddenly thought of something and went up to discuss it. The referee listened to Sun Ce's request and did not go too far. He started to operate with Sun Ce within the rules of the game.

The fans, participating players, and spectators were looking forward to Sun Ce's performance. After Curry's outstanding performance, everyone wanted to see how Sun Ce would perform next... But Sun Ce ran to move the ball stand with the referee. What was he doing?
