This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 274 All-Star Weekend
Zhou Lin's dribbling speed is naturally not as good as that of Devon Harris. It took about a second longer than Harris when he reached the first chest pass point for a layup - dribbling through obstacles. , Zhou Lin's passing speed was also slower than Harris', and he even took a glance at the pass before hitting it.

"Yes, yes, Zhou Lin's first pass was hit!"

Zhang Weiping shouted loudly: "As long as we are more stable in the future, we have a chance to surpass Devin Harris."

In the second ground pass, Zhou Lin made a mistake for the first time, and only put the ball into the basket the second time.

Then there was the long 2 points near the top of the arc. Zhou Lin also hit it with one hit. Zhou Lin also made a mistake on the second through pass. When seeing the time increase rapidly, Zhou Lin accelerated the speed of dribbling. Speed, and ended with a dunk for the final layup.

Zhou Lin made two mistakes, and Harris lost one. The final time was 32.2 seconds, 4.2 seconds less than Harris, but this result is obviously not ideal.

Zhou Lin took the initiative to go to Harris's side to hug Harris——suffering brother!

Harris patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder and said, "Brother, why don't you make one more mistake."

He didn't want to be the last one. Originally, he thought that Zhou Lin, who was so tall, would be slower than himself.

"This seems a bit difficult!"

Derek Rose scratched his head and said, this is a competition after all, he could see that it seemed to be a little more difficult than he imagined.

Tony Parker, who was sitting next to Derrick Rose, first shouted to his wife Eva: "My wife, I will definitely be the fastest."

Then he turned around and looked at Derek Rose and said, "Guys, calm down, we'll see you in the finals!"

Derek Rose nodded, and walked to the starting point with a little trepidation.

The final result was in 33.3 seconds!
One second more than Zhou Lin's 32.2 seconds, Derrick Rose had multiple attempts in passing and long two-point shots.

Zhou Lin's one-time three-point shot still took advantage.

"What?" Zhou Lin laughed and said, "Dewen, I'm in the final."

Harris' face was black, and 32.2 was called to the finals-this is fine.

"It's too simple, Zhou, we'll see you in the finals, sorry, Derek, I'm going to eliminate you."

Tony Parker has a confident look on his face. As long as he plays the finale, as long as he takes 32 seconds casually, he will be able to enter the final with the first place in the preliminaries.

Moreover, he is also the oldest of the four contestants, and also the oldest in qualifications. Everyone believed that Tony Parker would surely enter the finals. No one doubted that Tony Parker's eye-catching wife Eva also stood up. Cheering and jumping to cheer for my husband, husband, you are the fastest...

but……

Tony Parker seemed to have underestimated the difficulty of the Skills Challenge. He made a mistake in the first chest pass, and it took several attempts to get through. In the second touchdown pass, Parker made a mistake again. At this moment, Parker's mentality was probably Already broke down, what makes Parker even more broken is that the basket is not cooperating. When Tony Parker tries to shoot a long two-pointer near the top of the arc, the time has exceeded 30 seconds, and his long two-pointer at the free throw line , It took three tries before hitting the shot.

Final time - 50.8 seconds!
Created the slowest record of this tournament, Tony Parker is dizzy, is this thing really that difficult?

It seems that my wife added a reverse buff to herself.

Of course, there are not a few Waterloos in this event in history. In 05, Gilbert Arenas set the slowest record in the skill challenge at 51.7 seconds, and this record was set by the legendary point guard in 2006 Steve Nash broke it. The time at that time was 52.8 seconds. You must know that Steve Nash was recognized as the number one point guard in the league at the time, and he was also the MVP of the season. Of course, the worst game record was last year's German Wynn Wade ran for 53.9 seconds. Last time, Dwyane Wade just won the championship in this event with 26.4 seconds, so there is still a lot of chance in this game.

However, in the past four years, the results of the championship have been very good. In 2005, Steve Nash took 25.8 seconds. In 2006 and 2007, Dwyane Wade won consecutive championships, with scores of 26.1 seconds and 26.4 seconds respectively. , last season's Deron. Williams created the event record of 25.5 seconds.

"Hi, Tony, thank you, I say thank you!" Devin Harris walked over, touched Tony Parker's head, and smiled.

He originally thought that he was going to be at the bottom, but he didn't expect that Tony Parker was such a big brother, he ran the slowest record of 50.8 seconds. He suddenly felt that he was not slow, and he was only three seconds away from entering the final. up!

"It's up to us next, and I didn't expect that I could make it to the final."

"I didn't expect to be able to enter the final in 33.3 seconds." Derrick Rose and Zhou Lin hugged and said.

Both Zhou Lin and Derrick Rose were undoubtedly a bit deceived, but Zhou Lin's 32.2 seconds was actually the first in the preliminaries.

Hehe, Pluto Harris, French sports car Parker...

According to the results of the preliminaries, Derek Rose will play before Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin will be the finale!
"Come on." Zhou Lin applauded Derek Rose to encourage him.

After seeing Harris and Tony Parker's continuous Waterloo, Derrick Rose is still more cautious in completing the technical movements of passing and shooting. In order to maintain stability, Derrick Rose even dribbles Slowed down the speed, in order to make the connection of the pass smoother, and this approach did indeed improve the efficiency of Derek Rose's follow-up. Derek Rose passed all the passes at one time, but it only made Derek What Rose shook his head was that the long two-pointer near the top of the arc was actually a two-for-one shot. Because of this mistake, Derrick Rose's time was faster than the first time, but it still exceeded 30 seconds.

Soon, it was also displayed on the screen. Derek Rose's 30.5 seconds has already improved by more than 3 seconds compared with the preliminaries. If Zhou Lin wants to win this skills challenge, he must at least beat Derek Rose. Ross led by more than 0.1 seconds, that is to say, it can be done in the early 30s. Derek Rose's cautiousness and critical moment of shooting mistakes gave Zhou Lin a good chance. With Zhou Lin's own conditions, naturally there is no chance. It’s not easy to hit Deron Williams’s 25.5 seconds, or even less than 27 seconds. For example, it is similar to Zhou Lin’s style of play. LeBron James is also a better dribble among big men, but he is also limited by himself. Under the conditions, his best time was only 33.7 seconds after participating twice.

"Don't make a mistake, you might score 30 seconds!" Derek Rose said, "It doesn't need to be fast."

Neither Derrick Rose nor Zhou Lin went for this championship, nor did they go for a mere reward of 2.5 U.S. dollars. After all, most of the players who won the championship bonus of a single event basically donated it, and Zhou Lin will also donate all the prize money he gets, just like when he won the three-point shooting contest, so the two encourage each other.

Zhou Lin's starting speed is basically the same as the first round, dribbling for a layup, dribbling to the first through pass, the first through pass, OK, go in!

Zhou Lin didn't leave until he was sure he was in. If he didn't, he could make up for it immediately. Although it wouldn't be that fast, it would be more stable.

The second hit to the ground went smoothly, and the next shot was the shot. Zhou Lin's shot was not fast, but he still made it steadily.

"There is another pass, if it can be passed in at once, the champion will have a chance!"

The commentator on CCTV said with a smile.

On Zhou Lin's side, for stability, he took a little aim before making a shot, and the ball went in smoothly!
"Quick, quick!" Many people shouted, and Misha even jumped up.

Now is the time to speed up!

Zhou Lin finally accelerated around the obstacle and finished with a dunk!

"How much, how much!"

Although Zhou Lin didn't make any mistakes, the frequency was a bit slower. Although he completed all of them at one time, the results may not necessarily be very good.

"30.2 seconds!"

Zhou Lin smiled, and Derek Rose came over, patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder and said, "You won."

"A fluke, a fluke!"

Zhou Lin won the trophy in the end. Of course, most of what he got would be bundled with Anta and donated. Anyway, Anta has already said that they will double the amount Zhou Lin donates.

"Lend me some luck!"

Dwight Howard rushed over and made a shoulder bump with Zhou Lin first.

However, in today's slam dunk contest, which is the finale, it will not be until the end of the three-point contest. Zhou Lin went to watch Brandon Roy participate in the three-point contest.

His opponent is not simple.

Daequan Cook of the Heat was also one of the top three at Ohio State University. When Zhou Lin met him for the first time, he was only a senior in high school, and he went out to eat pizza with Oden and Conley. In the end, he had to find Zhou Lin and the others to pay. Now his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 38.7% this season, which is even higher than his 37.5% shooting percentage. He is now an indispensable bench shooter for the Heat.

Jason Kapono of the Raptors, this gentleman once won the three-point contest in 2008. In fact, if Zhou Lin hadn't turned out in 2007, then Kapono might have won two three-pointers The champion of the competition. As the defending champion, he averaged 42.8% of his three-point shooting this season. Although it has dropped a lot from last season's 48.8%, it is still a terrifying statistic. This is a man living on the three-point line. For players on the field, shooting three-pointers is like eating and drinking.

The only big entry is Sharad Lewis, who, like Lin Zhou, is a tall shooter and currently one of the Magic's Big Three, shooting 39.7 percent from [-]-point range this season.

The other two players are Mike Bibby and Danny Granger who played this season.

Mike Bibby, Yi Jianlian's teammate, no, the former teammate, White Devil, this is Bibby's first full season in the Atlanta Hawks, and after Bibby's joining, the Eagles' competitiveness in the East This season's Mike Bibby still maintains a very high pass rate - 39%.

Danny Granger, after the team sent away the boss Jermaine O'Neal, as well as the previous Mike Dunleavy and others, has started to rise and become the absolute core of the team. This season, he averaged 25.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 Assists are already the stats of league stars. This season, Danny Granger's stats have also reached 40.4%, which can be described as extremely efficient.

Brandon Roy, currently only has a 37.2% three-point shooting percentage. In the three-point shooting competition where the best players are among the clouds, it looks a little shabby, and it is even the lowest. After all, Dai Quinn Cook, who is the lowest besides him, is There is a 38.7% hit rate, but Brandon Roy needs to hit the ball with the ball, not a fixed point, so it is normal to have a lower hit rate!
However, just like in the skills competition, it is not the first time that those three-point kings have been defeated in the three-point contest.

It's not that Brandon Roy has no chance to compete for the championship of the three-point shot contest.

Brandon Roy was the first to play. Although he lost four balls in the bottom corner, he made a bouquet, and then scored 45 points at the 8° on the left side and the top of the arc, which he prefers to be good at. He only missed two 1-point shots, and the 45° shot on the right side was also very average, only making two shots, but Brandon Roy did a good job in one point, the money in the first four points .ball, all shots were made, and came to the right corner with 2 points. Brandon Roy found the touch and scored 13 points with 5 of 3 points. A total of 4 points, not high or low.

But what is unexpected is that the other contestants in this three-point contest are in a mediocre state today.

Lewis played second. He was relatively slow. He only scored two goals in the first two points. After that, he was in good form and finally scored 17 points.

Bibby was the third player to play, and the White Devils were completely accurate in this campaign. They lost the ball wildly and scored only 14 points.

Cook was very accurate in the first three points, but missed all the fourth points, but he still scored 18 points in the end, and he also booked his place in the final early.

Danny Granger scored only 13 points and was eliminated early.

Kapono, the defending champion, made his last appearance and scored 16 points. He made up for it by making all five shots from the top of the arc.

In this way, all three places in the finals came out.

Brandon Roy with 17 points, Dae Quinn Cook with 18 points and Sharad Lewis with 17 points entered the final.

After entering the finals, an interesting scene came out.

Although Brandon Roy scored only 17 points in the end, the same as the preliminaries, Sharad Lewis only scored 7 points as a 'good result'.

"This is the pitcher? Play hooligans, I can score more than him when I go up."

Dwight Howard covered his mouth and smiled, even though the stretcher was his Magic teammate.

In the end, Dae Quinn Cook played the finale, and the pressure was not too great. He scored 19 points in the end, beating Brandon Roy to win the three-point contest!
Next is the slam dunk contest that everyone is most concerned about.

In addition to the previous champion Dwight Howard, there are also slam dunk contest nails Nate Robinson, nerve knife JR Smith, and Spanish trapeze Rudy Fernandez.
