Chapter 177 Lottery
After teaching children how to play for three hours in the community, Yang Ke left the community in advance by car under the guidance of the league staff, and returned to the Amway Center Arena to prepare for the skills competition.

When Yang Ke arrived at the Amway Center Arena, many fans were already sitting in the stands. They were wearing all kinds of jerseys, and Yang Ke even saw his own Spurs No. [-] jersey.

After just a glance, Yang Ke walked into the locker room of the home team under the guidance of the staff, and looked at the players who had already sat down in the locker room: Irving, Paul, Westbrook, Rose, and Curry.

It's all here!

He smiled at them friendly, but Yang Ke was very depressed in his heart, he was the last one to come.Then, under the staff's gesture, put the backpack in a cabinet that has not been used by anyone.

As soon as he sat down, Curry, who was wearing the Warriors NO.30 jersey beside him, stretched out his right hand, kept smiling, and said kindly: "Hello, Yang!"

"Hello there!"

Yang Ke liked people who took the initiative to express kindness to him. He immediately stretched out his right hand, then gently shook it, and praised with a smile, "Curry, your three-pointer is really accurate!"

Naturally withdrew his arm, facing Yang Ke's boast, Curry neither deliberately apologized nor proud, but kept smiling and replied: "Your three points are not bad!"

Westbrook pouted at the side, continued to change his sneakers, and said with a smile: "Neither of you should compliment each other anymore. In today's guard line, both of you are definitely one of the best three-pointers. !"

"That's right!"

Packing his backpack, Paul smiled and nodded in agreement. Curry's three-pointer has long been known in the league.

Although Yang Ke's three-pointer is in the usual game, he does not show his power or power, but after the spread of the Rookie Challenge last night, his quick three-pointer has already been mentioned on the discussion table of every team's coaching staff superior.

On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, four special competitions will be held, namely: Shooting Star, Skills Contest, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest.

The people who appeared in the locker room at this time were all participating in the skill competition, which was the second event, and before the lottery ceremony started, they still had a lot of time to chat.

Therefore, with the topic of the three-pointer, everyone discussed it enthusiastically and expressed their opinions, but this topic did not last long.

Under the guidance of the single dog Westbrook, they turned to women, and Yang Ke became the center of the topic without hesitation, because they all wanted to hook up with Taylor Swift through the relationship between Yang Ke and Emma special.

After chatting and laughing for about an hour and a half, this year's shooting star competition officially started amidst the cheers of the audience.This time, there are four cities participating in the Shooting Star Contest: Atlanta, Orlando, New York, and Houston.

Each city represents a team, and each team can only have three players, including an active NBA player, a WNBA player and a retired player.

The game is divided into two rounds, shooting at 6 points at different distances on the field, scoring according to the time of completion of shooting, and the fastest shot is the champion.

In the first round, New York went well, and it was only 37.6 seconds after Alan Houston made a long shot.

On the contrary, Orlando, as the host, was the most unsatisfactory. Every player's shooting fell short of the standard. In the end, it took 104 seconds to complete the task. It was embarrassing to become the first team to be eliminated.

Not long after, New York and Houston, who performed well, advanced to the finals.Kenny Houston, who had a poorer performance in the preliminary round, took the lead, and Kenny Smith successfully made a super long shot. It took only 47.6 seconds, which put a lot of pressure on New York.

However, God seems to be on New York's side today. It only took 5 seconds to throw the first 18 balls, and it only took a record-breaking 29 seconds to win the championship easily.

"Everyone, it's time for you to play!"

As soon as the shooting star game ended, the staff walked into the locker room and announced with a smile on their faces.Yang Ke and the others stopped chatting immediately, stood up straight, and followed the staff.

Yang Ke followed the big team, walked through the player tunnel, and stood on the field amidst the cheers of the fans and audience.Everyone stood shoulder-to-shoulder, smiling, raised their arms, and waved rhythmically at the camera and the fans and audience.

In the skill competition, each player needs to bypass several obstacles, complete a ground pass and a direct pass, plus a shot and a layup, and the player who completes it in the fastest time wins.

However, this year's skill competition is slightly different from the previous ones. Not only has the number increased by one, but the specific process is also slightly different.

The preliminary round will be divided into three groups through a lottery ceremony. The two people in each group will face each other on the left and right sides of the court at the same time. The winner will directly enter the final.

In the final, the regular process of playing one by one is adopted. The one with the worst score in the preliminary round will be the first to play, and the one with the best score will be the last to play. Among the three, the one with the shortest completion time will be the champion of this skills competition.

Not long after, an official league staff member held a box and stood in front of the players. They all knew that a lottery was about to be drawn, and they had to decide their direct opponents through the lottery.

Since the staff was closest to Westbrook, he was the first to put his hand into the box amidst all the attention.Within a second, he took out a small ball with a number one on it.

With the smooth progress of the lottery ceremony, it didn't take long for the group results to come out on the spot. The first group: Westbrook VS Yang Ke, the second group: Curry VS Rose, the third group: Paul VS Irving.

After the grouping was over, as the field still needed some time to be placed, the participating players still had a little time to arrange freely. Yang Ke went to Emma's place without any surprise.

"Yang, I have reserved this seat for you. After the skills competition is over, you can sit here!"

Seeing Yang Ke walking in front of her, Emma stood up with a gentle expression on her face, opened her hands, hugged him tightly, and kissed Yang Ke without paying attention to the public's influence, then pointed to the space on her right with her finger. seat.

"Ok, I see!"

Smiling and nodding, Yang Ke immediately held Emma's little hand tightly, and under the eyes of everyone, he sat back in the VIP seat and began chatting happily.

The two showed affection as if no one was around, which made Taylor in the seat on the left of them very hurt, and even a little depressed, who made her a single dog now.Recalling his several love affairs in the past, he frowned slightly, as if he had never been able to be so tolerant like Emma and the others.
