Chapter 715 The Second Day of All-Star Game

After the first day of the 2012-2013 NBA All-Star Weekend.

It's the second day of the All-Star Weekend that fans are looking forward to more.

Many fans, especially the home fans in Madison Square Garden, are full of expectations for this year's Skills Challenge due to the participation of Yi Jianlian!

However, the first event on the second day of the All-Stars is not a skill challenge. Before the skill challenge, there is a "Shooting Star" contest to be held!

Speaking of which, in response to a big change in the All-Stars, that is, the East-West confrontation mode, the Shooting Star Contest is also specifically for the two teams from the East and the two teams from the West to compete together.

Of course, although the form has changed, the way to win has not changed, and the team that can complete all the shots in the shortest time can win!
Each team is played by 3 players, including an active NBA player, a WNBA player, and a retired NBA player.

The two NBA players representing the West in this Shooting Star Contest are Chris Paul of the Clippers and Westbrook of the Thunder. Both players are also members of the All-Star Game.

The WNBA players representing the Western Conference are Maya Moore from the Minnesota Lynx. She is a gold medal member of the 2012 London Olympics and a member of the WNBA championship in 2011. Another is Tina Thompson from the Seattle Storm. Her name is To be bigger, she is the all-time scoring leader in the WNBA.The other two NBA legends who played on behalf of the Western Conference are "Alien" Sam Cassell and "Mr. Key" Robert Horry.

Together, the two played 31 seasons in the NBA and won 10 NBA championships.Cassell and Horry were teammates when the Rockets won the championship.

The two NBA players representing the Eastern Conference in this shooting star contest are Harden of the New York team and Lopez of the Nets, both of whom are also All-Star players.

Although Harden failed to start the selection, he was still selected to the bench!

The two female WNBA players representing the Eastern Conference are Sven Cash of the Chicago Sky. She is a member of the 3-time WNBA championship and a [-]-time Olympic gold medalist!

And Tamika Couches, who led the Indiana Fever to the 2012 WNBA Finals and won the Finals MVP!

The two former NBA legends representing the Eastern Conference are Muggsy Burgess. It is worth mentioning that he is the shortest player in NBA history. He is only 160cm tall, but he has played in the NBA for 14 seasons. It's really not easy!

There's also Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins, a nine-time All-Star with 9 career points.

His duel with Michael Jordan in the dunk contest is still a classic!
The four teams took turns to compete. In the East, Harden's preliminaries: 50 seconds, Lopez's preliminaries: 1:07.

In the west, Paul's preliminaries: 37.9 seconds, Westbrook's preliminaries: 29.5 seconds.

The time spent by the two teams was added up. In the end, the total time spent by the two teams in the west was less than that in the east. They won the shooting star preliminaries and scored 20 points for the west team.

It's just that it was the Harden team that finally won in the finals where Westbrook represented the West and Harden represented the East!

They took 1 minute and 29 seconds together, and Westbrook ran out of time and didn't complete the shot.

Harden can be regarded as pulling back a sentence for the Eastern Conference, and he also heard the huge cheers at the scene when he was playing at home.

Of course, apart from the joy of his victory, the cheers are also because of the upcoming skills competition, which is what most fans are looking forward to.

Everyone wants to know if Yi Jianlian can win this challenge and become the first person in NBA history to win the three major challenge season championships!
When Yi Jianlian came out, there were naturally all kinds of cheers, which almost overturned the entire arena!

The game didn't take too much time, it just started!

First round results announced...

East: Yi Jianlian of the New York Knicks took 29.3 seconds, Jeff Teague of the Eagles took 49.4 seconds, and Brandon Knight of the Pistons took 32.2 seconds.

West: The Rockets' Jeremy Lin's preliminaries took 35.8 seconds, the Spurs' Tony Parker's preliminaries took 48.7 seconds, and the Blazers' Damian Lillard's preliminaries took 28.8 seconds.

In the preliminaries of the final skills competition, the Eastern side shared a time of 1 minute and 50.9 seconds, while the Western side shared a time of 1 minute and 53.3 seconds.With a three-second advantage, the East finally scored 30 points.

However, for the fans of the New York team, winning the Eastern Conference is not the reason for their happiness. What they want to see is Yi Jianlian winning the championship!
Of course, the results did not disappoint them!

Yi Jianlian entered the final and faced Lillard.

Although Lillard is just a rookie, his various skills are really excellent, and he completed the entire task very quickly, and it took only 29.8 seconds in the end!
This result can be said to be very good.

Although Yi Jianlian also performed like this in the first round, but in the finals, the opponent has performed so well, it is inevitable that he will not feel nervous!

So the scene can be described as silent.

These guys are silently cheering for Yi Jianlian in their hearts.

Must win!

But the facts proved that Yi Jianlian really didn't know what it means to be nervous, and he completed the entire task in 28.4 seconds!

Thus won the final championship!

It was also after he was determined to become the champion that the whole scene was immediately flooded with cheers!

History is born!
The first player in the NBA to complete the championship grand slam of the three major challenges appeared!

Bill Wharton looked at Yi Jianlian on the field and couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is really a monster!" After the skill match, the Eastern Conference led by 40-30 points.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian added 10 points after winning the final, and the Eastern Conference points advantage is even more obvious!
After the skills competition, came the slam dunk contest. This year's slam dunk contest, if you only look at the list!Gerald Green, Terrence Ross, James White, Eric Bledsoe, Jeremy Evans and Faried of the Nuggets... all of these names can be said to be very familiar to everyone.

Among the top ten balls in the NBA, these guys can often be seen dunking!

It can be said that they are all guys with amazing physical fitness!

The only regret is that Westbrook, who had publicly expressed his intention to participate in the dunk contest, did not appear in the final list.And Paul George, who was selected as an All-Star, also gave up the chance to compete again, but he will participate in the three-point contest.

Jeremy Evans, who won the championship in 2012, will embark on the road to defend his title.The Jazz teenager defeated Budinger, Paul George and Derek Williams in the 2012 slam dunk contest, and finally won the championship strongly.

But this time he wants to defend the title is not easy!
Because James White, the Knicks forward and guard swingman known as "the strongest dunker in history", also participated in this dunk contest. Although this swingman with a height of 2.01 meters is only a marginal player in the league, his dunk talent is outstanding. His famous dunks include two-handed dunks from the free throw line, windmill dunks from the free throw line, crotch dunks from the free throw line, 720° crazy dunks and so on.

After learning that he will participate in the slam dunk contest, James White was very excited and excited. He claimed that Terrence Ross and Gerald Green and himself will bring fans a real slam dunk performance.

"This slam dunk contest will become a classic, because of our existence, mainly because of my existence!"

White said to reporters.

It's just obvious that he didn't take defending champion Evans seriously.

The game starts soon!
Jazz Jeremy Evans preliminaries: 47 points for the first deduction, 43 points for the second deduction, Clippers Eric Bledsoe preliminaries: 39 points for the first deduction, 50 points for the second deduction, Nuggets Kenny Sfaried preliminaries results: 39 points deducted for the first and 50 points deducted for the second.

Judging from this result, White, who uttered wild words before the game, did not perform any decent performances in the dunk contest!It even dragged the team back!
After the whole game, he also showed embarrassment unconsciously!

At the end of the two rounds of slam dunk preliminaries, the total score of the three players from the East team was 258 points, and the total score of the three players from the West team was 268 points. In this way, the West team won the slam dunk contest preliminaries and got 50 points.

In the end, Terrence Ross and Jeremy Evans entered the slam dunk finals on behalf of the East and West respectively. With his outstanding performance, Ross won the slam dunk contest championship and won 55 points for the Eastern team.

The Eastern team will further expand the overall advantage!
After the slam dunk contest, it came to the last event of the second day of the All-Stars, the three-point shooting contest!

Novak, Paul George and Cavaliers core Irving will play on behalf of the East; the players in the West are: Ryan Anderson, Matt Bonner and Stephen Curry.

Kevin Love, the 2012 Three-Point Contest champion, did not play when Ryan Anderson, who he defeated at the time, made a comeback.Anderson's 39.7 percent three-point shooting ranks 27th in the league.But it is worth mentioning that he made a total of 147 three-pointers, ranking second in the league.

The number one is still Yi Jianlian!
It's just that Yi Jianlian doesn't want to participate in this event again, he has already won the championship of this event!

Novak got on the list as he wished. He made 44.4% of his three-pointers, ranking third in the league. Compared with last season's 3%, there is a certain regression.But many people in the industry still believe that Novak has the strength to win the three-point contest.

The strength of several other contestants should not be underestimated. Curry has ranked third in the league in three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is as high as 3%. Korver, second only to the Eagles, ranks second in the league and is the champion. another strong contender.

The game will start soon!

Paul George of the Pacers: 10 points, Steve Novak of the Knicks: 17 points, Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers: 18 points.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: 17, Hornets' Ryan Anderson: 18, Spurs' Matt Bonner: 19.

The three players of the Western team scored a total of 54 points in the preliminaries, and the three players of the East scored 45 points in the preliminaries.The West won 40 points.

The final was played between Bonner and Irving. In the end, Irving scored 23 points and Bonner scored 20 points.

Irving successfully won the three-point contest, leading the Eastern Conference points all the way!
Obviously everyone had a great time watching the game on the second day, and they continued to discuss after the game.

"Wow, Yi really won the challenge, this guy is too good! Who can tell me what else can stop this guy!"

"I always thought that Yi would win the final challenge championship, but when I saw him win it, I still felt incredible. Really, this is really incredible. What is this guy?"

"Yi is accomplishing things that are unbelievable to others, but very easy for him! I don't know how to describe Yi Jianlian in my eyes now... Let's put it this way, if Michael Jordan is a god, then now Yi is also becoming a god!"

Of course, more discussions were about Yi Jianlian. After all, this guy became the first guy in NBA history to win the three championships!

Still the same sentence, Yi Jianlian interprets his greatness all the time!
In addition, there are two guys who have caused many fans to discuss so far.

One is Irving in the East, and the other is Lillard in the West.

"These two rookies are so good, I really can't imagine what these two rookies will grow into in the future!"

"What else is there to say, this All-Star Weekend, everyone will contribute to Yi, this is for sure, because he has accomplished incredible achievements, after Yi, I can only say that the biggest surprise to me is Irving and Lillard, these two guys are amazing!"

"Although they did not enter the NBA in the same year, in the rookie game and today's three challenge events, they are all impressive. Their basic skills are really solid, and their potential surprises everyone!"

Irving won the three-point contest, and if Lillard hadn't faced Yi Jianlian, he could also have won the skills competition...

In fact, Lillard's performance is good enough. If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's better performance, then this championship would have belonged to Lillard!

Everyone believes this.

In the final of the skills game, Lillard actually put enough pressure on Yi Jianlian. In the first year of entering the league, he was able to maintain an outstanding performance in the competition with Yi Jianlian. This kind of mentality is also what an outstanding star must possess , and now Lillard has such an ability!
……

While the fans are still unsatisfied, the All-Star Weekend has also ushered in the last day, and it is also the most exciting part of the All-Star-the All-Star Game!
