Chapter 156 Can't make it to the final with 21 points?

Westbrook obviously came here specially to experience it, and he didn't take the shots seriously, and the score of 14 points was also reasonable, so when he left the field, Yun Chen and others still gave him a warm hug.

Westbrook is equivalent to giving up the game in disguise, which is a good thing for the rest of the people, and the competitive pressure is much less. After all, the scores of Middleton and Vince Carter are too high. I was startled.

After Westbrook came down, there was another commotion at the scene, and the host also took advantage of the opportunity to tease Westbrook, saying that he should learn more about how to shoot three-pointers from Durant...

Soon, the intermission ended, and under the magnetic voice of the host, the fourth talent finally walked onto the field slowly.

Karl-Anthony Towns, the core inside player of the Timberwolves, just participated in the skills challenge more than half an hour ago, but his results were not very good.

Downs has always been good at playing tricks, and even made a few funny faces in front of the camera after he got on the field, which was very comedic and made everyone laugh.

But when the game officially started, the smile that was still on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a serious face.

He is very serious about the game, just like the Bucks' Antetokounmpo.

This season, his three-point shooting rate is 38.6%, which is a bit worse than that of a marksman, but everyone should notice that he is an inside player with a height of more than 2 meters!
Others put the bouquet in the back and wait until the hands are warm before throwing, but he does the opposite. The first point, the bottom corner on the right, puts the bouquet.

As the saying goes, a person with high skills is bold, and he dares to let go, naturally he has great confidence in his own ability.

And the facts have proved that he does have such ability.He scored 6 points in the first five balls and hit 3 goals, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the second point, he even scored 5 points in 4 out of 5, but it was a pity that he did not grasp the top of the arc and another corner point, and finally only scored 19 points, temporarily ranking third.

This is an embarrassing score. If you want to enter the final, you have to look at the results of the people behind.

The fifth person after Towns is Mirotic. This Pelicans sharpshooter has a very powerful aura. When Yun Chen and several other contestants including Westbrook were chatting in full swing, he But he sat quietly on the side without saying a word, as if he was not used to such an occasion.

This season, his three-point shooting rate is 41.5%, which is the data that a marksman should have, and he can average 15.8 points per game, which is a rare good helper for Brother Nongmei.

His bob is placed at 45 degrees to the right, which he is best at, and he, like Carter, starts to throw from the left corner.

Sometimes, you can roughly judge whether a person is strong or not just from his aura.

Mirotic obviously belonged to the strong team. He unceremoniously scored 5 points in the first point and only missed one ordinary ball.

The second point was also very stable, scoring 4 points, and he reached the top of the arc with 9 points.

Surprisingly, he, who played extremely well in the first two points, made a mistake at the top of the arc and threw 4 consecutive overstretched iron balls.

But fortunately, I still scored the last bouquet, 11 points.

The fourth point is his ball point.

He also attaches great importance to this point, and he stopped to make adjustments before starting to vote.

However, sometimes the feeling is gone and it is gone. At this point, he only scored 5 out of 2 balls and scored 4 points.

15 points, he came to the last point with such points.

The last point is only 6 points in total. It can be said that if he wants to enter the final, he must score all the last points.

And he himself is naturally aware of his situation. In the last point, he shot almost every ball very seriously. He scored all the first four. At this time, his score reached 19 points.

However... the sky didn't work out, and Mirotic's score was fixed at 19 points.

Amidst the voices of regret from the crowd, Mirotic let out a long sigh and walked off the field slowly. His teammate Big Eyebrow laughed and came over and patted him.

Halfway through the first round, the rankings of the five players are as follows: No.1 Vince Carter with 23 points, No.2 Middleton with 21 points, No.3 Karl-Anthony Towns with 19 points, tied with No.3 Mirotti Odd, No.5 Westbrook with 12 points.

19 points became a watershed. After this score, it is very likely to enter the finals. This is the consensus of everyone.

Soon, the sixth man came on the field.

CJ McCollum, Lillard's right-hand man, one of the Blazers' backcourt double guns, this season's three-point shooting rate is 39.2%, and he is also a real marksman.

As soon as he entered the field, the people who played in front of him suddenly became nervous, especially Downs and Mirotic, for fear that they would be overtaken.

Although McCollum said before the game that he had no intention of being the three-point champion, Yunchen felt that he would definitely play seriously.

In fact, just as Yunchen thought, McCollum started his crazy three-point performance.

The first point is 5 points, the second point is 4 points, and the third point is 4 points. He got the highest score so far in the first half, 13 points, and he has not yet shot the bouquet. It can be said that he has a very large advantage up.

The fourth point, 45° to the left, did not shoot very well compared to the previous points, and only scored 3 points. He came to the last ball point with 16 points.

The last point, the bottom corner flower ball.

19 points seemed too easy for him. Mirotic and Towns off the court have already wailed, and they are basically out.

"Shut up!" McCollum scored 4 goals in a row and scored 24 points in an instant. Although he missed the last one, he still managed to push himself to the top spot!
"Wow!" His epic three-point performance caused the audience to stand up and applaud. Such a score was only achieved by super masters like Curry, Thompson and Booker before.

The result of the game became confusing immediately, suspense reappeared, and the minimum standard for entering the final was changed to 21 points. The rest of Yunchen and Booker felt tremendous pressure.

"Go, Li, come on!" McCollum, who had just finished casting beside him, cheered Yun Chen up and punched him hard on the back, pretending to be cheering him on.

However, Yunchen was still flustered, because he followed Curry's advice and placed his bouquet in the left corner, which he was least good at...

Before going on the field, Yun Chen walked up and turned around to look for Curry in the auditorium.

He really found it, the two met eyes, and Curry grinned at him.

Yun Chen: "..."

The seventh player in the three-point contest, Li Yunchen, officially debuts!

As soon as the camera came to Yun Chen, the cheers and shouts of the audience increased by about three times in an instant, making everyone's ears hurt.

Yun Chen walked to the basketball hoop step by step, looked at the basketball quietly placed there, and swallowed involuntarily.

For the first time in his life, he felt the tension as if his heart was about to jump out.

Even before the key shot at the last moment of the game, he had never felt this way before, but today he didn't know why he almost couldn't even take a step...

"Are you ready?" Seeing that Yun Chen hadn't moved for a long time, the referee beside him finally couldn't help it anymore and reminded.

Yun Chen's body was alerted immediately, and he came back to his senses and said in embarrassment: "Uh... That... It's alright, alright, we can start!"
