NBA: The stars return to the peak, and the battle of the gods begins

The skills game just ended.

The three-point contest immediately entered the preparation stage in full swing.

The three-point contest is normally divided into two rounds, and each player has one chance in each round.

The top three players in the first round advance to the finals.

The second round is played in the same way as the first round.

In the event of the same score in the final, there will be an extra match until the ranking is determined.

The player with the most points in 1 minute is the winner.

Before 2014, there were a total of 5 shooting points in the three-point shooting contest: two symmetrically at the bottom, two symmetrically at a 45-degree angle, and the other at the top of the arc.

There are 5 balls in each shooting spot, 4 balls (orange ball) get 2 point, and the final flower ball (red, blue, white) gets [-] points.

The flower ball is called a "money ball" and is worth 30 points.

Since 2014, each participating player can freely designate a dominant point among the 5 shooting points, and place 5 bouquets on the dominant point, while other shooting points remain unchanged.

Therefore, since 2014, the full score of the three-point contest has become 34 points.

The six top marksmen have already started warming up.

There was no trace of solemnity on their faces, but some were relaxed and freehand.

For these stars who are used to seeing big scenes, their mentality has stabilized a lot.

The Splash Brothers Curry and Thompson were practicing and chatting.

Both are among the top contenders for the three-point title.

Ray Allen and his teammate Bird also practiced and chatted. As the Celtics' two top shooters, their goal is to bring the trophy back to Boston.

Nowitzki practiced quietly alone, while his boss, Cuban, sat on the sidelines to cheer him on.

Seeing it, Cuban really wanted his favorite general to win the three-pointer.

What I have to say is that Cuban made a huge promise.

As long as Nowitzki can win the three-pointer, he will reward the opponent with 500 million immediately.

You must know that the 500 million that Cuban said is not Huaxia currency, but 500 US dollars, which is really inhumane.

Booker is also quietly practicing three-pointers, teammates Nash, Stoudemar, and Marion stand on the sidelines to help him.

Soon, the three-point contest officially began.

Ku Ritian was the first to play.

Standing in the bottom corner, he kept shaking his shoulders to relax himself.

After the host spoke a few words, he turned his attention to Curry.

With the host shouting "start".

Curry started shooting three-pointers.

Duang! ! !First cast iron.

Duang! ! !second shot
Unfortunately, both of Curry's first two hit irons.

Just when the Warriors fans were burning with anxiety, Curitian finally opened.

He hit all the remaining three balls.

With 2 ordinary balls and a flower ball, Curry scored four points in the first shot.

He hurried to the second shooting point 45 degrees outside the three-point line, and Curry still hit the iron at the beginning.

Then hit an ordinary ball, then hit an iron, and then hit the next two.

It is equivalent to saying that Curry still scored 4 points for the second one. Adding the first point, Curry has accumulated 8 points so far, and his performance is not bad.

Durant on the sidelines yelled "Ollie" to Curry.

The third shooting point is the top of the arc. This point is the most important point for Curry. He put all five flower balls in this position.

Shua~~~ Ku Ritian hit the first bouquet and scored 10 points.

Shua~~~ The second bouquet is hit, and the cumulative score is 12 points.

Shua~~~ The third bouquet hit, with a total of 14 points.

Shua~~~ The fourth bouquet hit, with a total of 16 points.

Duang! ! !The fifth flower ball library is hitting iron every day.

Being able to hit four flower balls, Ku Ritian's performance is already very good.

But Curry shook his head again and again, obviously it was difficult for him to accept that he missed the fifth ball.

At the fourth shooting point, Curry continued his hot touch.

He made all the first four ordinary balls, and then regretted the last flower ball.

After shooting the first four points, Curry scored 20 points.

At the last point, Curry intentionally slowed down his shot speed when there was still enough time.

shuh~~~
shuh~~~
shuh~~~
shuh~~~
shuh~~~
Curry scored all 6 points for the last point.

In the end, Curry scored 26 points in the first round.

This result is not amazing, but it can also be included in the ranks of high scores.

Curry walked off with his braces on.

Durant stepped forward to give him a high five, "Great performance!!!"

It was Booker who played second.

Start with the host shouting.

Booker gets the ball and shoots.

Shua~~~ The first goal is scored, +1 point.

Shua~~~ The second goal is scored, +1 point.

Shua~~~ The third ball was scored, +1 point.

Shua~~~ The fourth ball was scored, +1 point.

Shua~~~ The fifth ball was scored, +2 points.

Accumulated 6 points.

Booker made all five shots at the first shot point, an efficient batch.

The 45-degree outside line at the second point is Booker's advantage point. He feels that this shot is the most accurate, so he put all five balls in the second point.

Then Booker's performance at this point was unsatisfactory.

He made just one of five attempts.

When he came to the top of the arc, Booker felt warmer. After he hit the iron with the first ordinary ball, he hit all the next four balls.

Accumulated 13 points, unable to catch up with Curry's 26 points.

Even if Booker scores all the last two points, he can only score 25 points at most, let alone Booker can't do it.

In the last two points, Booker scored a total of 8 points. Adding up all five points, Booker scored 21 points.

This score gives Booker a glimmer of hope to make it to the second round.

We can only hope that the next three players will hit the iron again and again.

The third player to play is Nowitzki.

He's ready to get the ball.

Host, "Go!!!"

Nowitzki gets the ball and shoots.

duang! ! !

The harsh sound of hammering iron did not affect Nowitzki's mentality.

Then he hit two goals in a row, and the fourth ordinary ball hit the iron.

In the fifth ball, Nowitzki made a precise hit.

At the bottom corner of the first shot point, Nowitzki scored 4 points in total.

Shifting positions, Nowitzki's performance at the second shooting spot was so-so. He hit two goals in total. Fortunately, he hit the last bouquet, otherwise the score would be pitifully low.

After shooting two points, Nowitzki scored 7 points in total.

The third shot was at the top of the arc, and Nowitzki performed a little better. He hit three balls, two ordinary balls, and the last flower ball, scoring a total of 11 points.

The fourth shot point was 45 degrees, and Nowitzki started to exert his strength. He hit all 4 ordinary balls and the last flower ball, and the cumulative score came to 16 points.

The left bottom corner of the fifth shot point, Nowitzki put a special point on this point.

Shua~~~ The first flower ball is thrown, +2 points.

Shua~~~ The second flower ball is thrown, +2 points.

Shua~~~ The third flower ball is thrown, +2 points.

Shua~~~ The fourth flower ball is thrown, +2 points.

Shua~~~ The fifth bouquet was scored, +2 points.

A total of 26 points were scored.
