Chapter 457 Three Point Contest
Mu Chenfeng shot 100% of his three-pointers with his left hand during training.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

It seems that this is a reasonable result.

"All hits!" Su Mengyao was stunned by Mu Chenfeng's hot three-pointer. She never thought that Mu Chenfeng would complete today's training in such a way.

"It's up to tomorrow." Mu Chenfeng's joy only lasted for a few seconds, and then he regained his composure. That's right, the training field and the competition field are completely different things.

Due to the lack of confrontation and defense in training, the shooting rate is generally much higher than in the game, especially some top shooters in the league, the shooting rate on the training ground is ridiculously high.

Due to the existence of defense and off-court factors in the game, the shooting rate will be greatly affected, but top shooters can still maintain a shooting rate of more than [-]%.

The three-point contest is one of the more entertaining individual events in the NBA All-Star Game. Although it is not as fancy as the dunk contest, it can also make the audience excited, especially in today's league where the proportion of three-pointers is particularly important. Three-pointers have become the mainstream scoring method.

Some players who can't shoot long distances are gradually being eliminated by the league.

The 8 players participating in the three-point contest are all famous players on the three-point list this season. Of course, superstars like Chris were also invited by the league, but he refused.

But List is also the only player who refused the individual competition. Many league super giants or quasi-super giants "tactfully" rejected the individual competition.

This seems to be a microcosm of the All-Star individual competition. It is a necessary existence, but it is not the main existence.

Those famous stars don't need to participate in individual events to increase their popularity and influence. All their thoughts are on the last day of the All-Star Game and the star-studded "Kobe Bryant" trophy.

The MVP trophy of the All-Star Game: Kobe Bryant Trophy.

Chaoju's "refusal to participate" made the All-Star individual competition lack a lot of star flavor. Most of the participating players are "professional" players from various teams. Because of this, the league selected the most topical rookie of the season: Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng's participation has somewhat increased the audience's attention to the individual events, especially attracting many foreign fans, so that the individual events will not be too far behind the rookie game and the All-Star game in terms of attention.

Carlisle Curry is sure to win the three-point contest.

In the warm-up session before the game, Carlisle Curry showed a strong desire to win. He shot 12 balls in the same position in a row. The basketball even drew the same trajectory and fell into the basket.

However, Carlisle Curry was not the only bright spot during the warm-up. Mu Chenfeng's performance was also very eye-catching. He also took 12 shots and hit 10 of them. Although he couldn't hit all of them like Carlisle, but because he shot with his left hand, his limelight once overshadowed Carlisle.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Carlisle Curry shook his head when he saw Mu Chenfeng hit the tenth ball. He shook his head in dissatisfaction. He was not satisfied with his performance.

Shooting with the left hand, not to mention 12 of 10 shots, even hitting 5 goals is very difficult for Carlisle, but Mu Chenfeng showed disappointment.

Carlisle Curry has identified Mu Chenfeng as his biggest threat in the three-point contest. If he doesn't play 100%, it will be difficult to secure the championship.

After the warm-up, the three-point contest officially begins!
This year's three-point competition has restored the long-ago competition system. There are a total of five three-point points in the half, which are the bottom corners on both sides, 5° on both sides, and the frontal top arc.

There are five basketballs, four normal balls and one two-point ball at each point.

A total of 6 points will be generated for each point, and the full score is 30 points.

Players can choose the point of the shot according to their own wishes, and can adjust the position of the five balls on the point.

The order of appearances is determined by lottery, and the No.1 James in the league draws. As a result, the first card is the "king", Carlisle Curry.

When Carlisle's name appeared in James' hands, the participating players were already half-cooled.

Carlisle took the first shot, and at his level, he will definitely shoot a very oppressive score, and the players behind him will really only strive for No.2.

The three-point contest only goes to a two-round competition system, one promotion round and one championship round.

Of the 8 players participating in the first round, only the top three players can get the final chance to compete for the championship, so everyone's primary goal is to keep the top three.

When Carlisle Curry came on the stage, he basically locked a place for promotion, which meant that the remaining 7 players had to compete for 2 places for promotion, which was very difficult.

As expected, Carlisle continued the fiery touch during the warm-up as soon as he came up, like a precision machine, he made five out of five shots at the first point and scored a perfect score of 6 points.

Just as the audience guessed how many consecutive shots he could make, Carlisle missed a shot at the second point, which made people feel sorry, but he quickly recovered his touch from the 2-point flower ball behind. Carlisle hit 10 of the first 9 balls, with amazing efficiency.

The opponent called out to "retire".

As a professional player, the greatest recognition is the recognition of peers.

Carlisle Curry conquered his opponent in just two points.

However, Carlisle's performance continued, and 10 out of 9 was just an appetizer. Carlisle hit all of the subsequent top arc points, which completely shattered the opponent's self-confidence.

Carlisle is unstoppable today.

In the end, Carlisle's score in the first round was fixed at 27 points, which is a very high score in the case of a 30-point three-point match. With 25 balls, Carlisle hit 22 of them.The most important five 2-pointers were all made.

The vanquished opponents came forward to express their surprise, but Mu Chenfeng looked dignified. He was not frightened by Carlisle's 27 points. On the contrary, he felt that it would be good to have such an opponent.

Coincidentally, Mu Chenfeng was drawn out second, right behind Carlisle, with a high score of 27 points in front of him. Anyone who faced such a score would be somewhat nervous, but Mu Chenfeng didn't feel nervous at all. On the contrary, he couldn't wait to go on the court to shoot, and he was drawn just right.

Mu Chenfeng came on the stage second, putting his left hand on the basketball.

"No way, he really wants to use his left hand to compete in the three-point contest?"

When it was Mu Chenfeng's turn to appear on stage, the two big brothers also stood up to cheer for him.
