Chapter 223 The first champion!
Then, Xu Lang's body was seen jumping out, taking the slapped basketball to the basket and completing a backhand layup.

Xu Lang's initial movement this time directly allowed him to gain a lead of nearly one second at the beginning.

After completing the layup, Xu Lang also didn't even check to see if the basketball he threw went into the frame.

Without slowing down, he continued to rush towards the basketball placement point in the right bottom corner.

Taking the ball, crossing left and right continuously and changing directions, Xu Lang also quickly bypassed all obstacles.

It's just that because of height and speed problems, Xu Lang, who had circled the obstacle, sent back the one-second lead he had gained by relying on layups.

Fortunately, Xu Lang, who had circled the obstacle, received the ball to his chest directly during the movement without any pause, and then completed the chest pass project of the first passing point while moving.

The passing of the ball on the move allowed Xu Lang to directly make up for the time wasted around obstacles!

After completing the chest pass, Xu Lang still didn't stop his pace, and quickly came to the ground pass point.

Xu Lang stopped his steps without even adjusting his movements. He directly picked up the basketball on the basketball stand next to him, hit the ground and passed the ball, and completed the second pass cleanly.

After completing the ground pass, Xu Lang rushed to the three-point line without stopping, just like Kobe just now.

After Xu Lang came to the shooting point, he didn't make any adjustments, just took the ball and took off, and added a little backward three-point shot.

It's just that unlike Kobe Dangdang's strike, Xu Lang's three-point shot went straight into the net this time!

The moment the basketball left his palm, Xu Lang already clearly felt that the ball was coming.

So after landing, Xu Lang didn't hesitate, and turned around and ran towards the last pass point.

"Oh, Kobe, take a good look, this is the real king of three-point shooting."

Listening to Barkley's teasing, Kobe Bryant also cooperated, showing an angry expression.

The screen cut back to Xu Lang's side. After quickly reaching the passing point of the through ball, Xu Lang passed it again, then turned around to take the ball without hesitation, and began to circle the obstacle.

By the time Xu Lang finished circling the obstacle, the game time was close to 25 seconds.

At this time, Xu Lang made another move that surprised everyone at the scene.

Make an emergency stop for a three-pointer and shoot a shot.

Because it took a little time to go around the obstacle, if Xu Lang completes the layup according to the normal layup method, the game time is likely to be longer than that of Dwyane Wade.

And this time the three-point shot hit the board, which directly helped Xu Lang save at least a second of time.

As the basketball hit the backboard and hit the net, Xu Lang's game time for this skills challenge was finally fixed at 25 seconds 1.

It's just that Xu Lang's three-point shot at the last moment made the referees hesitate, whether they should agree with Xu Lang's results in this Skills Challenge!
In the end, after a group of referees discussed with each other, they still recognized Xu Lang's results in this skill challenge.

After all, the rules did not say that the game must end with a close layup in the end.

Besides, a three-point shot is much more difficult than a layup!

Although, no matter how you look at it, Xu Lang's three-point shot at the last moment was a little tricky, but Xu Lang, who also ended his challenge with a three-pointer at the last moment, also took more risks.

Therefore, in the eyes of the referees, Xu Lang's choice at the last moment did not take advantage of anything, it was just giving full play to his own advantages.

If some unhappy people have an opinion on this penalty, they can naturally complete the final layup with a three-pointer!
Dwyane Wade: Nima, just call me by name and say that I'm not good for three points.

In the end, Xu Lang set a new challenge record in the NBA Skills Competition by relying on his final three-point shot with a historic time of 25 seconds, and at the same time won the championship of the 1 All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge.

It's just that starting this year, Xu Lang has opened up various ways for players to challenge the NBA's Skills Challenge.

"Come on, Xu, LeBron, let's go heads-up!"

The one who just won the trophy was immediately pulled by Kobe to go heads-up!
"Oh, Kobe, I really want to play heads-up with you.

But I really don't have time!

I'm going to take part in the three-point contest next time. How about you go head-to-head with LeBron first, and I'll go there after the game. "

Then LeBron James, who was forced to be singled out by Kobe, changed his face even more.

Xu Lang looked at Remus James, who was pulled away by Kobe Bryant, and then made a face at LeBron James with some schadenfreude.

Then, LeBron James immediately pulled Kobe Bryant with grief and indignation, and showed him Xu Lang, who was now looking smug and gloating.

It's a pity that Kobe didn't even turn his head, and directly dragged LeBron James out of the arena for the challenge game, and walked towards the training arena next to him.

After Xu Lang took a break at noon, he started his 2006~2007 All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest in the afternoon!

"Although this seems unbelievable, I have to say that Xu Lang seems to be able to complete a real Grand Slam in the All-Star Game this year!"

The commentators of the three-point contest in the afternoon were Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, Larry Bird and other famous three-pointers in the league.

"No, no, no, Reggie, I don't agree with your opinion. At least in the three-point contest, I personally think that Xu Lang is not the player with the highest chance of winning the final championship."

"Hahaha, I know, Cole, who are you talking about, isn't it the super three-point shooter who surpassed your average three-point field goal percentage in a single season this season, Jason Kapono?"

"However, you have to know that the three-point contest is sometimes not just about your shooting percentage and shooting ability.

It is still better than your big heart ability and ability to withstand pressure. Obviously, on this point, there is a huge gap between Jason Kapono and Xu Lang. "

"You must know that so far this season, Xu Lang has completed nine lore kills, and the success rate of lore kills is as high as 70% or more.

With such a terrifying lore success rate, Xu Lang is obviously stronger than Jason Kapono in terms of game state. "

"Secondly, although Xu Lang's three-point shooting rate is not as good as Jason Kapono's, Xu Lang's average number of three-pointers in and out and average number of three-pointers per game have already doubled that of Jason Kapono. !"

"And if Jason Kapono averages so many three-point shots per game like Xu Lang, and he has to face the defensive intensity that Xu Lang needs to face, are you sure his hit rate can still be so high? ?"

"No, no, Reggie, if you compare the three-point shooting ability and big heart ability between the two, it is biased."

"Yes, I admit that Jason Kapono's personal strength and ability to handle the ball and decisiveness at critical moments may not be as strong as Xu Lang.

But if it is purely about three-pointers, I think Kapono is better than Xu Lang. "

"Also, it is said that in private practice, Jason Kapono has made perfect three-pointers many times."

"Moreover, Kapono scored at least 24 points even when his score was relatively low."

"With such a terrifying three-point ability, I really don't think Xu Lang can win with any hit!"

"Such a player who is like a shooting machine in three-pointers, can he lose in the three-point contest?"

The debate between Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr.

In an instant, fans who didn't pay much attention to the three-point contest suddenly became interested in the three-point contest, an appetizer before the slam dunk contest.

Originally, the three-point contest was held before the slam dunk contest, which already meant that it would inevitably become a stepping stone for the slam dunk contest.

After all, compared to the hot-blooded slam dunk contest, the somewhat boring three-point shooting performance of the three-point contest is indeed relatively less attractive.

But after hearing that Xu Lang might win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge and the champion of the Skills Competition.

It is very likely that when he wins the three-point contest again and may achieve the All-Star Weekend Grand Slam, it will directly make some fans shine!

In addition, Steve Kerr also said that Jason Kapono could actually achieve 25 consecutive three-pointers under the rules of the three-point contest.

It also made the fans' attention and expectations for this three-point contest suddenly rise a lot.

At the same time, more and more fans and spectators are paying attention to the three-point contest, and at the same time, the atmosphere of debate in the commentary about who may win the title of the final three-point champion is getting higher and higher.

Participants of the 2006-2007 NBA All-Star Weekend 3-Point Contest officially began to warm up.

Gilbert Arenas, Jason Kapono, Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, jj Redick, Xu Lang.

The six contestants in this year's three-point contest have all hit more than 40% of their three-pointers this season.

Xu Lang's three-point shooting percentage did not reach more than 2% before the start of February. Of course, his own three-point shooting percentage of 40% is no different from 39.9%!
Therefore, in several games in February, Xu Lang's three-point shooting rate was under his special control, and it was easy to increase from an average of 2% three-point shooting per game to an average of 39.9% per game.

Of course, because Xu Lang got stuck in the end and raised his three-point shooting percentage to 40%.

Therefore, although Xu Lang is the player who averaged the most three-pointers per game among all six participating players, his three-point shooting percentage is the lowest.

Even JJ Redick, who averaged less than 7 minutes per game, has a higher three-point shooting percentage than Xu Lang.

So far this season, JJ. Redick is shooting a staggering 48.6 percent from beyond the arc per game.

It is the second highest player after Jason Kapono's 52.6% three-point shooting percentage among the six three-point contestants today.

Therefore, if Jason Kapono and Xu Lang rely on three-point shooting percentage and average three-point points per game, they have become the favorites to win the three-point contest.

Then jj. Redick is no less popular than Jason Kapono and Xu Lang in this year's three-point contest.

On the one hand, Redick's three-point shooting percentage is indeed high enough.

On the other hand, the so-called grievances and resentments between jj. Redick and Xu Lang made many people want to see the weak counterattack.

Although Xu Lang didn't care about Redick's small role for a long time, but he needed some heat to hold Redick back.

Therefore, from time to time, Redick would bring it out by himself, and hype up some of the grievances and grievances between him and Xu Lang back then.

This makes Redick directly become the player who is second only to Washington's Five Tigers in terms of fan attention and public opinion among this year's rookie players.

It's just that although Redick's popularity has increased, his playing time in the Raptors has not increased!
So this time in the three-point contest, Redick has another purpose.

That is to step on Xu Lang and Jason Kapono to complete the top position in this three-point contest, so as to win more playing time with the Raptors.

The three-point contest is one of the earliest competitions created during the NBA All-Star Weekend.

Since 1986, the NBA has set up a three-point contest during the All-Star Weekend, and it has been held 21 times so far!

Only in 1999, the All-Star Weekend was canceled due to the suspension of the season. In the past 22 years, the three-point contest has become an important part of the All-Star Weekend regardless of the weather.

It's just that in the past 22 years, three-pointers have not been a skill and tactic that NBA teams have valued, and it is also rarely the main conventional weapon of superstars in the NBA.

As a result, in the past few years, the overall quality of the three-point contest was not very high.

In the case of a full score of 30 points, in the past 22 years of the three-point contest, there has never been a player who scored more than 25 points to win the championship.

In the past 22 years, the highest scoring record in the three-point contest is only 1994 points created by Mark Price in 24.

Moreover, let alone 25 points, in the past 22 years, there are not many players who have won the title of three-pointer with more than 20 points.

Even at the turn of the century in 2000, Jeff Hornacek scored 13 points for two consecutive three-pointers.

So it's no wonder that the fans don't want to see the three-point contest. It's really that the impression of the three-point contest in the hearts of the fans is really bad!
Even because the winning scores of this year's three-point contest have been getting lower and lower.

More and more fans have already regarded the three-point contest as a worse game!
In the end, whoever is slightly less rotten will be able to win the final championship!
This kind of game state naturally makes it difficult for the three-point contest to attract the attention of many fans!
It wasn't until this year's three-point contest that Xu Lang, Kapono and others received a certain amount of attention.

Then, after some exaggeration and ridicule in the commentary booth, it gradually attracted the attention of some fans who originally planned to turn on the TV and watch the slam dunk contest.

After a brief warm-up, the 2006-2007 All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest is about to begin. The rules of the three-point contest are as follows.

Participants need to shoot five consecutive shots within 1 minute, a total of 25 basketballs.

The five shooting points are respectively fixed at the top of the arc, as well as the bottom corners on both sides and outside the three-point line at 45-degree angles on both sides.

There are five balls in each shooting point, four of which are orange balls, which are one-point balls.

The remaining one is the flower ball, also known as the many ball, which is a two-point ball.

There are a total of 25 balls in five shooting points, and the full score is 30 points.

The player who completes five shots in 1 minute and scores the most is the winner.

The game is normally divided into two rounds, and each player has one shot in each round.

The top three players in the first round advance to the finals, and 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 final three-point contest champion is reached.

Compared with the rules of the somewhat complicated skill challenge competition, the rules of the three-point contest are obviously simpler and clearer, and there are no particularly complicated requirements.

As long as the contestant can complete the shooting of the five field goal points in order.

As for whether the contestant starts shooting from the left bottom corner or from the bottom right, it is allowed by the rules.

Of course, you can also start from the middle if you are willing, but in the case of time constraints, no one should do such a stupid thing.

After a brief introduction to the rules and each participant, Redick is the rookie player of the year.

The youngest player with the lowest rank among all the contestants, this year's three-point contest was mainly used by the league as a player for Xu Lang's background board.

Naturally, it was ranked first!

But I have to say that Redick's overall strength may not be very good, and his character and game may not be very good.

But his three-point strength is still relatively stable.

As the first player in the starting lineup, although Redick was a little cold at the first shooting point, he only hit one of the five goals.

But that shot was a bob, and after that, on the next four spots, Redick immediately found his touch, making at least three shots from every spot and bouncing the bob every time. Hit.

In the end, all five shooting points were completed. Redick scored 21 points unexpectedly, which brought huge shooting pressure to the latecomers.

And when Jason Kapono, who played behind Redick, ended his shooting round with a super high scoring performance of 23 points, the pressure was further increased!

Then, Gilbert Arenas, who played third, failed to withstand the pressure and only scored 16 points in the end.

Jason. Terry also did not withstand the pressure, and finally only scored 17 points.

Fortunately, although Jason Terry's score was not high, he still ranked third among the four players who played, which allowed him to continue to retain the hope of advancing to the finals.

However, after Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points in the penultimate appearance, Jason Terry's hope of advancing was immediately punctured by his teammates!
