Chapter 200 The Biggest Winner

The second day of the All-Star Weekend is dominated by individual events. The first is the shooting star competition. As a new link, this competition has not been well-known, so the host Los Angeles set an example and sent two teams to participate. .

The Lakers sent guard Chauncey Billups, legend Magic Johnson and WNBA Los Angeles Sparks center Lisa Leslie.The Clippers sent draft pick Mark Jaric, star Terry Cummings and WNBA Los Angeles Sparks guard Nicky Tesley.

To say that the team history of the Clippers is indeed bleak enough, Terry Cummings only played two seasons in the San Diego Clippers, won a best rookie award, but the career-high 23.7 points and 10.6 rebounds were in the rookie season. What the Clippers got is one of the few gorgeous statistics in team history.

There were also two other teams that came to support, one of which was the Detroit Pistons, who sent guard Sam Cassell, star John Sully, and Detroit Shock's Cheryl Ford.

It is worth mentioning that Cheryl Ford's father is Lakers power forward Karl Malone. As for the surname issue... the illegitimate daughter follows her mother's surname.

Under the coaching of the famous Pistons Bill Lambiel, the Detroit Shock team had the worst record in team history and the worst record in the league in the previous year. In the second year, they defeated the Los Angeles Sparks and won the WNBA championship. Thank you Lil Ford just played for one year and won the championship that her father had dreamed of for 1 years.

The other team is the San Antonio Spurs. The guard is the Argentine demon swordsman who just showed his talents in the Rookie Challenge, and the Pampas eagle Manu Ginobili. Cole, the female player is just retired San Antonio Silver Stars guard Jennifer Yaz.

"Let me open the game. Which team can win this game?" Other players on the team were cheering for the Lakers led by Billups and Magician. .

The joking Garnett should have been the first to come out, but after the hemorrhage last night, Garnett couldn't help but be cautious in his words and deeds, and motioned for Malone, the oldest in the team, to speak first.

"Well, I'm here to support my daughter. You know, we finally repaired our relationship..." Ma Long hesitated and said.

"So are you going to support the Detroit team?" Garnett, who was still covering his mouth with his hand just now, asked hurriedly for fear of saying a wrong sentence.

"No, I played with John Salley, he couldn't hit a single shot outside the paint, so I don't think Detroit can win this game, of course I support the Los Angeles Lakers." Malone is old Fine, of course you won't be tricked.

Over there, the game has already started. The first few points are not a big problem for professional players. Before Chris Bosh has shown his dominance in this game, whoever can hit the circle first will have a higher chance of winning. greatly increased.

The San Antonio team that played first, although Cole was known as a good pitcher, but in that relatively conservative era, three-pointers in midfield were not a compulsory course for guards. In the end, the female player Yaz made a three-pointer in the middle circle.

Kerr feels that if he becomes a coach in the future, there must be a guard in the team who can shoot three-pointers in the middle circle.

It's the Clippers' turn. Jaric, who is known as the first American Jacky Cheung, hasn't been squeezed dry by Victoria's Secret Supermodel, and his shots are decent, but they also fell on the mid-range shots, which took even longer than the Spurs.

After the Detroit team played, Sally did not disappoint Malone's trust. He missed all five shots from beyond the three-point line and wasted a lot of time. , the audience burst into unfailing applause, after all, Sally also stayed with the Lakers at the end of his career.

The last one to play was the Lakers. Magic Johnson unleashed his ugly but quite accurate shot put three-pointer. Champion of Star Contest.

Billups may be the busiest person today, and the host can't have no one to participate in individual events, so after chatting with his teammates for a while, Billups went to prepare to participate in the skills challenge.

The more eye-catching ones are Baron Davis and Stephon Marbury. As for Earl Boykins, people pay more attention to his height and the history of whether he can complete the dunk Sexual mysteries.

The first to appear was Baron Davis. He had a shocking performance in the slam dunk contest back then, and left a classic dunk that was comparable to Vince Carter's popularity to some extent. The dunk king was given to Desmond Mason.This time in the Skills Challenge, the first-generation bearded man put in all his strength and succeeded in all stages in just 28.7 seconds.

Stephen Marbury, who was transferred to New York, played later. The skill of the lone wolf is beyond doubt. The fly in the ointment is that the last three-pointer failed to make a single shot.

Although Earl Boykins ran very fast, before the final three-pointer, he even led Baron Davis in the same period by several seconds, but the three-pointer was only made for the third time, directly announcing his goal out.

Billups, who played last, did not press the full accelerator button like Marbury and Boykins. All the links highlighted a word of stability. With the subsequent three-pointer made a steady hit, it was announced that Marbury And Boykins' out.

In the finals, Baron Davis made a mistake in the ground pass link, but Billups still made a steady pass, helping the Lakers, and at the same time won the second individual championship for himself today. It can be regarded as earning enough face for the host.

In the three-point contest, there are also Lakers players. After half a season of training, rookie Kyle Korver has gradually found his own rhythm. Battier hands some playing time.

In the first round, Korver felt hot and scored 19 points, as if he was going to kill Stojakovic and others.

As for Billups, after a busy night, his touch has declined, scoring only 12 points, and he was eliminated in the first round.

"Finally I can rest for a while." Billups, who failed to hit the "Triple Crown", returned to the bench and cheered for his teammate Korver.

Maybe because he felt the pressure, Korver was a little nervous. The good touch in the preliminary round could not last the whole game. In the final, he hit the iron frequently and only scored 15 points. He was the first to withdraw from the three-pointer competition. With Stowe Djakovic's lore flower bounced out of the basket. In the end, the three-pointer was won by Nuggets veteran Voshan Leonard who scored 18 points.
