Chapter 544 Durant Makes History! Jordan Covers His Mouth and Laughs Wildly!
Last year, Curry won the Skills Challenge with a time of 26.3 seconds in the final lap!
The fastest record in the Skills Challenge is 25.5 seconds, set by Deron Williams in 08.
Whether Curry can break this record this year has become something countless fans are eagerly anticipating!
The first round is over.
Curry advanced to the finals with an impressive time of 27.5 seconds, along with Westbrook and Rose.
Paul had a poor performance, finishing with a time of 41.4 seconds.
Wall was even worse, taking 49.5 seconds to succeed, it was simply unbearable to watch.
It's clear that although he has submitted to Su Yan, he hasn't fully regained his "heart" yet!
The final round.
Rose went first, and the "Windy City Rose" was indeed as swift and decisive as the wind, ultimately achieving a good result of 26.6 seconds.
The pressure immediately fell on Westbrook and Curry.
Westbrook was the second to go in. He was very fast at first, but he just got stuck at the moment of throwing the ball into the circle.
It was stuck for a full 6 to 7 seconds.
It took four attempts to make the shot, which wasted a lot of time, and the final time was 28.4 seconds.
If you pass the ring-throwing stage on your first try.
Westbrook is likely to surpass Rose and achieve better results.
Now... elimination confirmed.
All eyes were on Curry.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and started the game amidst cheers and encouragement from his teammates, including Su Yan, McGrady, George, and Iverson.
The whole process was very smooth and silky.
This requires exceptional ball-handling and shooting fundamentals to execute perfectly.
Curry is very solid.
He can do it.
The fans didn't care about the time at all; they were just enjoying Curry's smooth ball-handling show, which he completed in one go.
Final time: 25.6 seconds.
He was a full second faster than Rose, whose performance was already quite good, and only 0.1 seconds away from Deron Williams' Skills Challenge record.
"What a pity~"
Curry glanced at the score and frowned slightly.
Despite his elementary school-aged appearance, he is a highly competitive player at heart.
This year... he's aiming to break the record.
It's a pity it was just a little short.
But in any case... Curry has won the Skills Challenge for two consecutive years.
This is already quite remarkable.
Congratulations, Stephen!
Su Yan was the first to come over and give Curry a high-five and a hug.
The results are in, so let's not break the record. It's okay to feel sad for a while, but we can break it again next year.
Now is the time to enjoy the championship.
Curry happily hugged Su Yan, and together they tilted their chins up and hummed, "I've already won the Skills Challenge."
Next... I'm going to compete with you for the Three-Point Contest championship, and I'm not going to let you win.
"I do not know either."
Su Yan smiled and said, "I was the champion last year, and I'm the champion again this year!"
"Then let's have a proper contest."
"come!"
Durant, who was sitting right behind them, heard their conversation clearly and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Perfect timing... I'll wipe you all out in one fell swoop, win the Three-Point Contest, and confess my feelings to Alba once again."
He'll definitely admire my basketball skills and fall in love with me as a person!!!
Three tiers of seating.
Jordan and Rodman also came to watch the game.
Rodman chuckled and asked, "Michael, do you think... Kevin Durant can beat Su Yan and win the Three-Point Contest?!"
"It's very difficult."
Jordan stated bluntly: "Su Yan's expertise in three-pointers is truly extraordinary."
In a one-on-one fight, Kevin might still have a chance to beat Su Yan.
But if we're talking about three-pointers alone, Kevin has almost no chance of winning, even though he had two consecutive games with 8+ three-pointers.
Unless Kevin has an exceptionally good touch, Su Yan's touch will be ice-cold.
Only with such extreme differences can Kevin have even a slight chance.
However... no matter what, Su Yan can only reign supreme in the three-point field, while I am the "first person in history" with 6 championships and two three-peats.
Whether it's Su Yan or Kevin.
They'll never catch up to me!!!
Rodman: ? ? ?
No way, I asked you who would win the three-point contest, Kevin or Su Yan, and you're even going to jump over your own name like that?!
On the field.
More than ten minutes later.
"boom!"
Amidst the fiery atmosphere of the arena, the three-point contest begins.
The participating players are: Su Yan, Curry, Ray Allen, Nowitzki, James Jones, and Durant.
The competition is divided into two rounds, with three players being eliminated in the first round.
The order of the matches will be determined by drawing lots.
Su Yan was a bit unlucky, drawing number one and being the first to play, but for the other players... it was even worse.
If they get a very high score all at once, they will feel a lot more pressure.
What's the truth?!
They really did think the same thing.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After giving away two balls in a classic fashion, Su Yan hit 23 balls in a row, including all 5 fancy balls!
He scored 28 out of a total of 30 points.
He broke Su Yan's record of 27 points in the final round last year, putting enormous pressure on the other five players.
"Wow~"
The stadium erupted in uproar.
"Oh my god!"
In the commentary box.
Amy Johnson screamed, clutching her head, "No way, it's a royal flush right from the start! This is amazing in the preliminaries!"
"unbelievable!"
Kenny Smith also subconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and exclaimed in surprise, "Accurate! Su Yan's three-pointers are really too accurate."
No wonder he's the league's best shooter!
The way he plays, the morale of the other players is reduced by half!!!
"shitbro!"
Curry blurted out, "Yan, what are you doing?"
Scoring 28 points in the first round, breaking your record from last year! Are you trying to leave any room for others?!
"Ha~"
Su Yan smiled and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I just threw them around randomly and accidentally got these points."
Casually? By accident?!
Listen to this, is this something a human being would say?
Curry glanced at Su Yan, speechless.
"What a monster!"
Ray Allen, once the league's best shooter, shook his head repeatedly, trembling with shock: "He has truly mastered the three-pointer."
He trained to the point of shattering my understanding of what was possible!!!
"How are we supposed to play this?!"
Nowitzki was in a real bind, but then he comforted himself: "It's okay, it's okay, there are still two spots left, let's get to the finals first!"
"Damn it!"
James Jones frowned. "If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to be number one and start the pitching."
Now, the pressure is immense.
The other four were all taken aback.
Durant just scoffed dismissively, "Idiot, you used up all your luck in the first round."
What do you need to win in the final round?
I was the last to go, so all I had to do was focus on the score and control the pace to get into the final round first.
Then, with a burst of power, I'll seize the championship, making Alba feel my strength and causing her to fall hopelessly in love with me!!!
Everyone was greatly shocked.
However... there's no escaping it now; we have to compete.
The second player to appear was James Jones, whose three-point shooting was quite good.
He averaged 3.5 three-point attempts per game this season, making 1.6 of them for a 44.4% success rate.
Su Yan's 28 points put too much pressure on him.
Be careful!
Under immense pressure, his performance was less than satisfactory, and in the end... he only managed to score 14 points.
In a 30-point open game, he scored less than half the points, with a hit rate of less than 50%. This performance was terrible.
This is almost the worst level.
"Hey……"
James Jones sighed, shook his head in disappointment, and ended his All-Star Three-Point Contest journey prematurely.
Next up is Nowitzki.
He scored a total of 20 points, which is a decent preliminary result.
But Nowitzki was not satisfied at all; he knew... Curry and Ray Allen's results must be pretty good.
With his current performance, advancing to the finals will be quite difficult.
We can only hope for a miracle.
Fourth place goes to Curry.
Despite Su Yan's extremely high score of 28, the elementary school students' target from the very beginning was Su Yan.
What is there to fear?
"Whoosh..."
Adjust your mindset.
Take a few deep breaths.
Curry started the game.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Like Su Yan, he started by giving up two goals, then scored eight goals in a row, then conceded three, and then scored seven goals in a row.
The last 5 flower balls.
"Bang!"
"Shhhhh!"
The first ball missed, but the next four balls all went in.
Curry missed 6 shots: 5 regular shots and 1 fancy shot, for a final score of... 23 points!!!
This result is... excellent.
Advancing to the finals should be a sure thing.
"Sigh~"
Nowitzki gasped upon seeing this: "With Su Yan and Stephen secured, we can only pin our hopes on Ray Allen and Kevin."
Kevin probably won't be able to do it.
Hopefully Ray Allen has a bad shooting night and scores less than 20 points!!!
He was looking forward to it.
Ray Allen was the fifth player to enter the game. As the former league's top shooter, he played very steadily.
Believe in yourself.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
He conceded 2 goals at the start, then scored 8 goals in a row, conceded 3 more goals, and then scored 7 goals in a row.
The last point.
They lost the first ball, but then scored the next four.
"what?"
Amy Johnson was visibly shocked after watching, her voice trembling slightly, "No, Ray Allen's goal and conceded goal, isn't... isn't it exactly the same as Stephen Curry's just now?!"
"Haha! Yes."
Kenny Smith laughed and nodded. “Amy, it’s exactly the same. It’s really amazing.”
This is NBA All-Star Weekend; it always brings surprises.
However... the scores were quite different for the two players; Stephen's five balls were all on the last point.
Losing one means losing one more point.
Ray Allen's fancy balls are at the top of the arc. If he loses 3 of them, he loses 3 more points, so... it seems like the two players have the same number of goals.
In reality, Stephen scored 23 points, while Ray only scored 21.
However… even so, it was still one point more than Dirk's 20 points, confirming that both Dirk and James Jones were eliminated.
"Huh? Only one point short!"
Nowitzki looked helpless.
This loss is somewhat frustrating.
The last player to take the court was Durant, who only needed 22 points to secure his advancement.
He scored 21 points, which is no less than his game against Ray Allen.
"tread!"
Durant stepped onto the court with extreme confidence.
"Go Kevin!"
"Go Kevin!!!"
Courtside.
Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, and other teammates cheered him on!
Durant grinned, "21 points? Easy peasy. Tonight... I'm going to beat Su Yan and win the championship!!!"
The power to charge forward for love.
This makes Durant incredibly confident, to the point of overflowing!
result? !
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Durant was at the left corner, the first spot, and he missed all five of his shots, a real blow to everyone!
The second point.
"Bang!"
"Shh!"
"Kang Dang"
"Bang!"
"Shh!"
2 out of 5 shots made.
In the first two spots, Durant made 2 out of 10 shots, a dismal 20% shooting percentage.
"what?!"
All the fans in the stadium gaped, gripped by a chilling sense of dread, as if they had seen a ghost.
Durant's three-point shooting isn't particularly spectacular, but he is still one of the league's top scorers.
He has no technical weaknesses.
He also recently had two consecutive games with 8+ three-pointers.
His three-point shooting is on fire.
Coupled with his extremely confident declaration of winning the championship, it once made many fans look forward to it!
After all... the times are developing rapidly with the advent of small ball, so it's normal for Durant to develop a three-point shot.
But this performance was rather disappointing.
Many fans were thinking: That's it? I could do that too!!!
"WTF?!"
Durant himself was dumbfounded and confused, "Wait... why is my touch so bad? This shouldn't be happening!!"
He didn't understand.
He could only feign composure!
There are three more spots, and five more flower balls at the last spot, for a total of 20 points!!!
If all three shots are made, 22 points will still allow them to advance.
There's even a 1-point margin for error, and 21 points ensures we don't lose, giving us a chance to win in a tiebreaker.
"I can do it! I can do it!"
"I want to win! I want to win!"
Durant frantically tried to mentally prepare himself.
"Bang!"
But when the third point came, Durant's heart sank after the first shot from the top of the arc missed again.
"hiss……"
He gasped, his scalp tingling.
"There's still a chance, there's still a chance, there's still a possibility... I... I must beat Su Yan!!!"
He was still trying to comfort himself.
He hasn't given up yet.
He is still struggling.
"Shh!"
The second ball from the edge of the arc went in.
This gave him immense confidence, but happiness never truly arrived!
"Bang!"
After another missed shot, Durant was officially eliminated.
Even if he makes all 12 of his next shots, scoring all 17 points, his total score is only 20, less than Ray Allen's 21 points.
"boom!"
When it is officially eliminated.
Durant's already chaotic state of mind... completely exploded!!!
But time keeps ticking, and he can't just give up the game. The score is being recorded, and it will be recorded eventually.
Durant could only shoot, so he started shooting randomly.
First, all-rail.
Second point, 2 points.
Third point, 1 point.
Fourth point, 1 point.
Fifthly, the flower ball is made entirely of iron.
How many? !
That's right.
Durant finished with a total of 4 points, ranking last and completely embarrassing himself.
Kenny Smith couldn't help but complain: "Before the game, Kevin made some outrageous remarks, imitating Larry Bird, saying, 'Are you all here to compete for second place?!'"
Emotions are second to last.
Because... he himself reserved last place!!!
"Hahaha, Kenny, you're going to make me laugh to death!"
Amy Johnson laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight. "Kevin played terribly tonight. He was obviously in a rush when he shot, and his mentality collapsed later on."
but.
He made history too!!!
