Chapter 447 Analyzing the Opponent
The Pelicans rank first in the league in this record performance.

A single-digit point difference means that they can comeback and win many games. However, the reason why they failed to win the game has nothing to do with the team's configuration.

The Pelicans only have one Thompson.

In this multi-giant era, there are not many single-core teams like the Pelicans. The Bulls used to have a single-core team in the Barrett era, but Barrett spent 6 years proving that a single-core team cannot survive in the current basketball environment. So he chose to join Miami.

But Thompson just didn't believe it. He vowed to stick to the Pelicans until the end, and he will always be in New Orleans.

For this reason, when the fledgling Thompson learned of the news of Barrett's transfer, he even sent a video to ridicule his actions.

Thompson has his own basketball beliefs, so he persisted in the Pelicans. This time, Mu Chenfeng will have a direct dialogue with Thompson. Both of them are also small forwards, which are completely compatible. The collision between the strongest rookie in the first grade and the supernova in the second grade will definitely spark.

In the three-point contest, Mu Chenfeng’s biggest enemy is Carlisle Curry, the marksman selected by the Warriors. He has not represented the Warriors in any regular season due to injury. All doubts were put to rest.

Needless to say, Mu Chenfeng also knows how accurate Carlisle Curry's three-pointers are. He is not a member of the Curry family. He can even float outside the three-point line for the entire game without stepping into the penalty area. And his scoring basically comes from the outside. He is an out-and-out three-point shooter.

Recently, the Golden State Warriors posted a video of Carlisle Curry in training. In the video, Carlisle made 20 of 20 three-pointers and still felt hot.

The Warriors also took the opportunity to announce that Carlisle would return in the first game of the Warriors after the All-Star break, which immediately made Warriors fans blown away, although their goal this season is not the championship but the lottery.

A team with Carlisle in the second half is bound to play wonderful basketball, after all, Stephen Curry has played incredible basketball games.

In the Skills Challenge, the participating players are the top ball handlers in the league. There are not only fast defenders, but also forwards like Mu Chenfeng.

In order to better demonstrate the strength of the new generation of fans to the fans, the league specially invited players of different ages in the Skills Challenge, including the 34-year-old point guard Evans, Brook, who was in his prime, and rookie player Mu Chenfeng.

This will also be the "second" match between Mu Chenfeng and Felix this season. Although it is not a regular regular season, it is also very good to be able to compete in the All-Star arena.

In the dunk contest, the crowd competes.

As the highlight of the annual All-Star Weekend after the All-Star Game, the Slam Dunk Contest has always been a place where praise and criticism coexist.

Since Barrett and James battled against the top of the Forbidden City in the slam dunk contest, the slam dunk contest has become more and more "tasteless", and there are very few dunks that make people's eyes shine.

"The slam dunk contest has reached its limit!"

Such doubts have never stopped. In order to meet the tastes of the audience, players and the league have been constantly developing new and difficult moves and innovations, but the results are not satisfactory, and the influence of the dunk contest has gradually begun to decline.

"The slam dunk contest has gradually lost his soul!"

In order to let the audience regain their confidence and attention to the slam dunk contest, the NBA has taken great pains this season, inviting many top dunkers in the league to participate, determined to hold an unforgettable slam dunk contest.

The first two invitation letters from the league were sent to James and Barrett, but the two turned them down with the same excuse.

"I have already participated in it, so it is meaningless to participate again!"

The slam dunk contest that Barrett and James participated in is destined to be recorded in the annals of history. The dunk action is negligible, and the scene of the last two "sharing the slam dunk contest" trophy alone is enough to be remembered by history.

Barrett and James each completed 10 dunks in the slam dunk contest. After 10 rounds, the winner was tied. At this time, both dunks were exhausted. Finally, after discussion by the league, it was decided to add a championship seat.

In this way, Barrett and James became the first pair of "double champions" in history.

The slam dunk contest found ① Wilkins, ② Mason, ③ Robinson, ④ Green, ⑤ Smith, ⑥ Richardson, ⑦ Andy and ⑧ Mu Chenfeng.

Among them, Wilkins and Robinson are the favorites to win the championship. The two once dunked each other in a game. After the whole game, Wilkins completed 13 dunks, and Robinson also completed 11 times. A game was abruptly played by the two into a dunk contest.

The physical talents of the two are extremely strong, and they staged individual dunks many times in the game, but the two have more than enough strength but not enough aesthetics.

Both Mason and Green have entered the slam dunk contest finals and achieved 50-point dunks many times. However, in front of Wilkins and Robinson, the two champions are obviously not good enough, and there is a high probability that they are accompanied by runners.

The biggest dark horse in the slam dunk contest is Richardson, a shooting guard from the Memphis Grizzlies. Although the statistics are not very impressive, he dunks on time but is unambiguous. The reason why people can remember the name of Richardson is because his dunks are extremely difficult, and he often performs fancy dunks in the game, which is highly appreciated.

Some fans buy tickets not to watch the team win or lose, but to watch Richardson dunk.

You just know that Richardson is in the air, but you never know how he will finish the dunk.

Richardson is also a strong contender for the slam dunk contest, which he won three years ago, and he wants to feel like winning again this year.

Just yesterday, Richardson just released a video of him preparing for the slam dunk contest on social media, and easily completed a 720° turn from the free throw line in one step.

This is a difficult sss-level movement, let alone one step from the free throw line, even if it is 720 degrees, it is very difficult to complete.

Faced with the attack of these players, Mu Chenfeng had many difficulties in becoming the most dazzling star among the stars.
