NBA: Sharks cry, can't stand this center

The Skills Challenge is a new addition this year.

The purpose is to showcase the skills of the best point guards in the league.

The content of the game is not complicated. Players complete several links such as dribbling, passing, and shooting in a venue with various obstacles within the specified time. The player with the least time wins.

Same as the three-point shot contest, the skill challenge is divided into a preliminary round and a final round.

Lots of players signed up...

According to the rules, only four players can participate in the Skills Challenge, and the final players are: Kidd, Iverson, Stockton, and Wei Guo.

Iverson participated in the skills challenge purely to challenge Wei Guo.

at this point...

Iverson said in an interview with reporters.

This is also the biggest highlight of this year's Skills Challenge, Iverson VS Wei Guo, the competition between former teammates.

actually...

With Wei Guo's height of [-] meters, it is somewhat against the law to participate in the skills challenge competition. This competition is obviously prepared for smaller players. Even Wei Guo himself has no confidence in winning the championship.

........

The first player to play was Kidd.

"Beep!!!"

The whistle sounded and the timer started.

Kidd took the basketball from the corner, dribbled it for a layup, then grabbed another basketball near the free throw line, passed through four obstacles in a row, and passed the ball through the chest and into the prepared net.

Then there was a ground pass, and after Kidd successfully completed it, he came to the top of the penalty area to shoot.

"bang~~~"

Missed the first shot!

After the missed shot, Kidd quickly grabbed the second basketball and shot again.

"bang~~~"

The second shot still misses!

The third shot...Kidd finally made it.

Kidd quickly ran to the bottom corner to complete a direct pass to the chest, then grabbed another basketball near the top of the arc, bypassed four obstacles in a row, and successfully completed the challenge with a layup.

Kidd's time: 36.1 seconds! ! !

The most important thing about the skill challenge is the success rate. If all the challenges are completed at one time, the time can basically be controlled within 35 minutes.

Kidd took three consecutive shots from the top of the penalty zone before making the shot. This link wasted some time.

After completing the challenge, Kidd looked at his total time and was quite satisfied.

Before the All-Star Game, I basically practiced in the arena, and the time was basically within 35 seconds.

.........

The second player to play is Stockton.

Stockton, who is nearly forty years old, is obviously slower than Kidd, and Stockton is very stable.

There is nothing wrong with every link.

but...

In the shot from the top of the penalty area, Stockton also took two shots before throwing the ball into the basket.

37.9 seconds! ! !

In the end, Stockton completed the challenge in 37.9 seconds.

........

Francis sat next to Weiguo.

Seeing that both Kidd and Stockton made mistakes in shooting, Wei Guo turned his head and asked, "Are all your point guards shooting so badly?"

Francis, "..."

Suddenly he didn't know how to answer, Francis held back for a long time before saying: "No one can guarantee that every shot can be scored?"

"It's also..."

Wei Guo nodded, "But their shooting is really bad."

........

The third player to play is Iverson.

Iverson's speed is much faster than that of Kidd and Stockton. From getting the ball to the layup to passing obstacles in a row, it is like a gust of wind.

In the subsequent direct pass to the chest, Iverson succeeded once.

Then came the ground pass. Iverson missed the first pass and failed to send the ball into the net. Iverson picked up the basketball and hit the ground pass again.

"boom!!!"

The basketball bounced off the edge of the hole again.

"Fuck..."

Wei Guoti Iverson sweated, "This link is a bit too much time wasting."

Fortunately, Iverson succeeded in the third pass, and then Iverson quickly came to the top of the penalty area, grabbed the basketball and shot.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Iverson ran to the bottom corner, picked up the basketball and passed it directly to the chest again, and successfully sent it into the net hole!

Wei Guo shouted: "Allen, run fast, time is running out."

The last link is very simple for Iverson. Take the ball and pass four obstacles in a row, rush to the basket and take off for a dunk!

32.1 seconds! ! !

Iverson had two missed touchdown passes, and even then he was a full four seconds faster than Kidd, mostly because he made a shot from the top of the lane and he moved through the barriers so much faster.

........

Stockton is determined to be eliminated, and the next step is to look at Weiguo.

If Wei Guo completes the challenge within 36 seconds, he will enter the final with Iverson.

"Beep!!!"

The whistle sounded and the timer started.

Wei Guo grabbed the basketball, reached the basket in two steps, and easily put the ball into the basket.

Then there was the challenge of continuously crossing obstacles. Wei Guo's speed did not lose to Iverson at all. After passing four obstacles in a row, Wei Guo passed the ball directly from his chest and easily sent the ball into the net hole.

Next up is the touchdown pass challenge, which is slightly harder than the through-chest pass.

After Wei Guo ran over, he grabbed a basketball with one hand, and casually threw it on the ground. The basketball bounced and entered the net hole.

"Wow!!!"

Some fans have already exclaimed.

Wei Guo's movements are so smooth and flowing, it is simply a visual enjoyment.

The subsequent shot from the top of the penalty area was too easy for Wei Guo, a hit!

The last thing is to complete a direct chest pass from the bottom corner of the run, then dribble through four obstacles in a row, and layup to complete the challenge.

23.1 seconds! ! !

"Sigh~~~"

"Sigh~~~"

"Sigh~~~"

The arena is full of gasping sounds, Wei Guo is too fast!

Even if Iverson completed the adjustment without a single mistake, it would be difficult for him to complete the challenge in 23.1 seconds, which shows that Wei Guo's speed is faster than Iverson's!

........

"Fuck!!!"

Seeing this time, Iverson patted his thigh and said, "If Brother Wei didn't make a mistake, I would definitely not be able to beat him."

Iverson and Wei Guo entered the finals of the Skills Challenge.

As Iverson said, if he wants to win, he can only expect Wei Guo to make mistakes, but the result is not the case.

Iverson's first challenge.

He made consecutive mistakes in the passing link, and finally took 37.3 seconds to complete the challenge.

This time has made Weiguo feel no challenge.

When Wei Guo appeared on the stage, he completed the challenge again with zero mistakes. The total time was 22.7 seconds, which was 0.4 seconds higher than that in the preliminary round.
