Chapter 805 You Know Nothing About Strength 1!

On February 14, 2009, Saturday, at nine o'clock in the evening, the Phoenix American Airlines Arena was already full.

Tonight, the group competition of the skills competition on the second day of the All-Star Weekend was held here.

In the history of the All-Stars, the skills competition on the second day has always been quite popular.

Even without the addition of Yes and the reform of David Stern, the popularity would not be less.

This year, Yes did not participate in any of the skills competitions.

However, he is the leader of the Yes team in this year's skills competition.

In this year's skills competition, the players participating in the skills competition will be divided into the Yes team and the Yao team, first in groups, and then in individual events.

The contestants of the skills competition can be players from the two teams of the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game. As long as the league agrees, they will be automatically assigned to the Yes team or the Yao team according to which team they come from.

And those contestants who did not participate in the skills competition of the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game will draw lots to join one of the two teams.

There are four players participating in the Skills Challenge this year, namely Derrick Rose and Westbrook from the Yes team, and Rajon Rondo and Wade from the Yao team.

There are six players participating in the Three-Point Contest this year, namely Afflalo, Quentin Richardson and Dirk Nowitzki from the Yes team, and Wang Shipeng, Arenas and Nick Young from the Yao team.

There are also four players participating in the Slam Dunk Contest this year, namely Derrick Rose and Ibaka from the Yes team, and Howard and JR Smith from the Yao team.

As the six players participating in the Skills Contest tonight, Rose, Westbrook, Afflalo, Quentin Richardson, Nowitzki and Ibaka sat next to Yes, while the other All-Stars who came to cheer for them sat further back.

Of course, except O'Neal.

O'Neal is always in front of everyone.

Shots like that this afternoon can only hit this fat guy for a while, and Yes has now ignored this shameless fat guy.

When you care about the shame of a "shameless" person, you have actually lost.

Because the league and the world are now hyping up the discord between the Yes team and the Yao team, it can be said that many people are curious about how intense today's skills competition as a warm-up for the All-Star Game will be.

However, the game on the court now is not a contest between the two teams. The game on the court now is the Shooting Stars game.

The game is over, and David Stern is awarding the winner Detroit.

After the Shooting Stars award ceremony, the skills challenge between the Yes team and the Yao team will begin.

Rose and Westbrook, who are sitting next to Yes, are already eager to try.

Of course, Wade and Rondo on the other side are also eager to try.

Wade's eyes are always drifting towards James.

And Rondo's eyes are always drifting towards Yes.

Hum!

You didn't choose the second master to the Yes team, Ye Xiaojiu, tonight, the second master will make you regret it first!

This is Rondo's first All-Star game.

But this All-Star Weekend, Rondo did not feel any honor as an All-Star starter.

Damn, not only did Erye not have any honor, but he was also excluded after joining the Yao team!

Although there are still a few good people in the Yao team who do not exclude him, but to be honest, when most people are excluding you, what's the use of having one or two good people?

Why did Erye have to encounter such treatment in his first All-Star game?

It's all Ye Xiaojiu's fault!

The more he thought about it,

the angrier Rondo was. Damn, Erye wants revenge!

After the Shooting Stars game ended, the Skills Challenge started immediately. After the on-site draw, Wade was the first to appear, followed by Westbrook, then Rondo, and finally Rose.

"The game is about to start. What will happen tonight?"

"Will O'Neal and Garnett clash again?!"

The four players participating in the Skills Challenge have not started competing yet. O'Neal and Garnett have already pointed at their opponents' noses and "sprayed" each other at the center line of the sidelines.

The two have now become the representatives of their respective teams' toughness!

Yes took his eyes off the two people who were showing off and put his eyes on Wade.

Wade is the former champion of this competition and is quite strong. He can be regarded as the strongest player among the four.

However, before the game, when many experts evaluated the skills challenge, they still felt that the strength of the two sides was evenly matched.

Wade is very strong, but Rondo is unknown.

The rules of this game are that the two teams will compete against each other, and the players of the winning team will enter the finals. Teammates may be dragged down, and the strongest players may not even enter the finals.

This way of playing is cruel, but it will also make the contestants go all out from the beginning without any reservations.

You can't control the results of your teammates, but you can try to get better results, even if your teammates want to drag you down, they can't!

Therefore, Wade, who was the first to appear, was quite fierce. Wade's rhythm was very fast this time, and both movement and passing were successful in one go. Even the shot in the middle was completed in one go. The whole process was smooth and smooth. After procrastination, when Wade completed the entire process and the final score showed 23.35 seconds, along with Garnett thumping his chest, O'Neal's annoyed roar and the audience's admiration, Ye Si was also quite surprised.

"A nearly perfect result!"

"Dwyane, congratulations, you created a super result that is less than four seconds away from Yes!"

Wade was very excited after completing the game, but when he was caught by Barkley to congratulate him when he came down, Wade's excited face turned dark.

Damn it, is this congratulations? !

However, Yes’s time of less than 20 seconds is indeed magical and unrealistic!

"Dwyane, congratulations!"

"Great job, Dwayne!"

"We will definitely win this time!"

After dealing with Barkley, Wade returned to his side's bench and felt what real welcome was.

Except for Rondo, who looked disdainful, everyone was congratulating him. It would be great if there was LeBron here at this time.

Unfortunately, LeBron was chosen as a hostage by Yes.

Wade was the first to play, and his score of 23.5 would generally put a lot of pressure on the players who played later.

"Don't stress."

"I won't be stressed."

Ye Si looked at the cool turtle boy and nodded.

The stubbornness on his face told Ye Si that he was indeed not under any pressure.

Westbrook does have no pressure, but his results are worse than when many players are under pressure.

In addition to no mistakes in dribbling, I made two passing mistakes and two shooting mistakes. The final score was 37.5...

Too rough!

So much so that after Westbrook's game ended, the audience burst into laughter, but Westbrook's face remained stubborn as he left the field amid laughter.

On the sidelines, it seemed like we were going to win. Garnett was beating his chest and beating his chest even more vigorously. O'Neal, who was next to Garnett, was almost excited by Westbrook's performance and was kneeling with his head in his hands. Got off.

"Hahahaha, Shaq, no one can stop us from winning this game!"

"Victory belongs to us, and the championship belongs to Dwyane!"

The championship belongs to Nima’s Dwyane!

Rondo passed by Garnett and O'Neal and cursed in his mind.

Even if you break your sternum, Wade still won't win the championship!

Old guy, you don’t know anything about the second master’s strength!

The results were so bad, many people sitting around wanted to comfort Westbrook.

But looking at the stubborn look on Westbrook's face, no one who wanted to comfort him knew what to say.

This guy's psychological quality is great!

Even Kobe was secretly amazed.

Ordinary young people have brought trouble to the team, and few can look like this. There is no frustration, no annoyance, and the face is still high-spirited and unwilling to admit defeat. It is the same as if I hit the iron 30 times but still take the third shot. The look of eleven times!

It’s very much like someone from Ke!

The fans in the audience only stopped laughing at Westbrook after Rondo came on the court.

And when Rondo came on the court, the audience couldn't laugh anymore.

When Rondo's game ended, there was no laughter, no crying, or even any sound from the audience!

The powerful Garnett, who was beating his chest on the sidelines just now, stared blankly at Rondo on the court. The action of beating his chest seemed to have stopped, but the coughs that kept coming from his mouth told the world that the world had not stopped. .

"58 seconds... no, 50.8 seconds, Rajon Rondo missed five shots, and the final score was 50.8 seconds!"

Buckley shouted excitedly.

Kenny Smith next to him even immediately doubted whether Rondo was undercover.

And when he turned over the results of the last time Rondo participated in the skills challenge, he found that 50.8 seconds was actually Rondo's super performance!

In the silence of the audience, Rondo sat back on his bench like a zombie and covered his head with a towel, ignoring Yao Ming's comfort and the concern of those who cared about him.

"How did this guy make the All-Star Game?"

"How did he make it to the All-Stars? Because he is a teammate of Yes!"

"I am a teammate of Yes, let alone an All-Star, I can win the MVP!"

Now it is the voice of that guy Deron Williams who is making the final cut. This guy has always been envious of the second master’s strength!

This time, he was the one who squeezed out the second master the most!

Only this time...

The second master actually missed it!

hateful!

Deron Williams led the crowd in Rondo's ear with crazy finishing touches.

And Wade has no interest in finishing the last shot right now.

Can’t even Nima’s 23.5 seconds defeat the Yes team?

23 seconds 5 + 50 seconds 8 = 74 seconds 3.

As long as Rose makes no mistakes and his time is within 36.8 seconds, he will be eliminated!

Will Rose make a mistake?

Wade was now standing on the sidelines. Under the attention of the audience, Rose's final time was 33.3 seconds.

The results are average, but very stable.

Luck, passing, and shooting are all done at once, very, very stable!

The stability made Wade next to him even a little desperate.

Even Ye Si was quite surprised.

He always thought Rose and Westbrook were players of the same style.

Now he discovered that apart from their similar styles, Rose and Westbrook are really very different in other aspects.

Rose's character is more open-minded than Westbrook.

Rose's mentality is also more stable than Westbrook's.

Ross's skills are more comprehensive.

At the same time, Rose is faster than Westbrook, and now he also knows the importance of slowness!

Slowness is important!

Accuracy and precision are also important!

This is what Yes gave him when he and Yes fought for the first time, and he dare not forget it!

"Well done, Derek."

"Thank you, Yes!"

Rose was very excited after being greeted by Ye Si and high-fiving Ye Si.

"No need to thank you, this is your understanding."

Some people, even if you teach them, they still can't realize it, or they don't want to realize it.

Yesi looked at Westbrook next to him, the expression on his face was still stubborn.

In addition to being stubborn, his eyes also lit up. Unexpectedly, he could still make it to the finals!

Westbrook really didn’t expect that he could make it to the finals. However, as the first player to appear in the finals, Westbrook was a little too excited. He was faster and more anxious than in the preliminaries, and his results were not as good as those in the preliminaries, with a time of 40 seconds. This made Westbrook's mouth purr again.

Rose, who came out later, was still very stable. He was dribbling faster and passing the ball slower. It was obvious that he was in control, and it was also obvious that Rose knew where his strengths and weaknesses were. There, but in the middle shot, even though Rose was controlling the speed, he still made two shots, and only made the second shot. The final score was not very good, 35.3.

The results were not very good, but Rose eventually won the championship.

After winning the championship, Rose was very happy, but the expression on his face was always very humble. After receiving the championship trophy from David Stern, he sat back in his seat without any unnecessary celebrations.

The Yes team's victory in the skills challenge had a lot of luck, but when it came to the three-point shooting contest, the Yes team's luck was quite bad.

Afflalo and Quentin Richardson performed fairly normally, with 14 and 20 points respectively. The key was Nowitzki, who scored 9 points.

After Nowitzki scored 10 points, the first fan in the NBA, who was either fifteen or second, directly typed a word starting with F on Twitter, and then directly added a sentence.

"Except for Michael Jordan, I never thought there was a second superstar who could score less than 10 points!"

The picture accompanying this sentence is a ‘cupcake’…

The Yes team, which was originally stronger in the three-point shooting competition, was eliminated by Yao's team, Arenas, Nick Young and Zhu Fangyu's Yao team.

In the final, Zhu Fangyu, who scored 15 points in the preliminaries, took the lead. In the final, Zhu Fangyu once again failed to shoot all the balls, but his score increased by two points, reaching 17 points.

Arenas, who played next, made a very chic shot. However, because it was too chic, a lot of time was consumed. In the end, the coolness of the shot turned into a rush. It was 1 point less than in the preliminaries, 15. point.

Finally, Nick Young, who scored 17 points in the preliminaries, played the finale. Nick Young, who performed well in the preliminaries, actually missed the first two points. Although he adjusted in the end, he only scored 10 points.

Therefore, when David Stern finally announced that the winner of this year's three-point contest was Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu, who was sitting next to Yao Ming, was a little confused.

In addition to Zhu Fangyu who was a little confused, Ross, who was sitting next to Ye Si, was also a little confused.

He did say in the interview that he thought Zhu could win the three-point shooting contest.

However, he really didn't expect that his polite answer would one day become reality!

"Congratulations to Zhu, he is not the strongest one in tonight's game, but he is the luckiest one!"

The strongest player is of course Quentin Richardson, but he was cheated by his teammates in the preliminaries.

"However, he deserves this championship. He is the most respectful of this game among the three finalists. Arenas and Nick Young lack enough respect for this game."

Kenny Smith added after Barkley finished.

Is Zhu lucky?

Of course lucky.

But if he had to choose a champion among Arenas, Nick Young and Zhu, he would rather choose Zhu.

Because Zhu is the one who respects this game and shooting the most among the three. He is the real shooter.

Arenas and Nick Young, it can be seen that when they shoot, they just use shooting as a tool to show off their abilities.

They have no respect for shooting or the three-point contest.

He is a shooter and he wants to be such a shooter.

"3 to 1!"

"Yao's team finally scored the first big score of this All-Star Weekend!"

With Zhu Fangyu's three-pointer to win the championship, the score between Yao's team and Yes team became 1-3.

The big score of 1 to 3 is quite important. At least, it will allow the All-Stars of Team Yao to still maintain their expectations for the All-Star Game and to defeat Team Yes.

The final All-Star Game was a 3-point game. If the team lost the three-point contest and fell behind 0-4, even if they won the dunk contest and the All-Star Game, the game would be a tie at best.

This was really hard to accept for the All-Stars of Team Yao who wanted to make a big news in this All-Star Game.

Team Yao was not favored in the three-point contest, but they won in the end.

As for the dunk contest, Team Yao was ahead, and by a lot.

Howard and Jr. Smith, who represented Team Yao, were both excellent dunkers.

On the contrary, although Rose and Ibaka had excellent physical fitness, their dunking skills...

Besides, Jr. Smith and Howard were not bad in physical fitness either.

Especially Howard had the strongest ability to create gimmicks among the four!

Before the game, many people thought that this dunk contest was a big win.

In fact, this dunk contest was indeed a big win.

Howard beat everyone.

In fact, when seeing Howard wearing his ancestral Superman costume, Yes knew that Rose, Ibaka and JR Smith had no chance.

50!

50!

These were Howard's two dunks in the preliminary round.

80% to 20%!

This was the final audience vote in the final.

Howard's four dunks were not that difficult, but they were full of gimmicks.

"2 to 3!"

After winning the dunk contest, the All-Stars of Team Yao couldn't wait to get ready!

"The stage is ready for us!"

Feeling the excitement of his teammates around him, Yao Ming looked at Yes who was comforting Rose and Ibaka with some worry.

They won't really help me get revenge, right?

But I really don't want to get revenge!

Embarrassing...
