Zhao Chen's achievements in his rookie year have become a ceiling that is difficult for rookies to break.
The day after the Rookie Challenge, the All-Star Weekend came to its second stage.
On this day, there will be skills challenge, three-point shooting contest, slam dunk contest and other events.
In addition to participating in the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest, Zhao Chen also has many other jobs.
There are a lot of media coming from China, including CCTV, Penguin, and Sina. Many of them are old faces, and many interviews are difficult to recommend.
After the interview, Zhao Chen went to participate in the three-point shooting competition!
This is the battle between Zhao Chen and the Splash Brothers.
Zhao Chen very safely blessed a hot-touch (low-level).
This kind of unintensified three-point shooting and this low-level Heat feel are enough.
Zhao Chen hit the last 12 goals in a row, defeated Thompson with a total score of 30 points, and won the first three-point shooting contest in his career.
It is not surprising that Zhao Chen won the three-point shooting competition. He is the player with the most three-pointers in the NBA.
Zhao Chen went over and high-fived Brother Shuihua and hugged each other: "I accept."
Curry said: "Zhao, your three-pointer is so accurate. I still look forward to the next showdown with you."
Thompson said, "Are you coming next year?"
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "I probably won't come again, once is enough."
Curry and Thompson were slightly disappointed to hear that Zhao Chen would not participate in the three-point shooting contest next year.
There is no hope of defeating Zhao Chen in this competition, but they also understand Zhao Chen, who has no shortage of such honors.
If Zhao Chen loses such a match, he will still have to bear the blame.
After finishing the three-point shooting contest, Zhao Chen went over to warm up for the dunk contest.
Four people participated in the dunk contest.
Zach LaVine, Andre Drummond, Zhao Chen and Aaron Gordon.
Seeing LaVine and Gordon dunking unscrupulously during the warm-up, Zhao Chen also felt a little pressured.
It's really challenging to beat both of these guys at the same time.
As for Drummond?
Zhao Chen did not take him into consideration.
If a big man dunks against a small man, their aesthetics will obviously not be very good.
Zhao Chen went over to say hello to LaVine, Gordon, Drummond and others.
LaVine and Gordon seemed very competitive about dunking with Zhao Chen.
Time passed quickly, and after the zombie dance performance came the main game of the dunk contest!
"LaVine, Gordon, and Zhao will have many wonderful dunks in the game, and they are all enjoyable to watch. Although Zhao is very talented offensively, it is difficult to say that he is better than the two of them in the field of dunks. Yes." Zhang Weiping shouted.
"But Zhao Chen is one of the most talented players on the planet. His dunks make everyone excited. In terms of actual dunks, he has more dunks than the other three combined." Xu Jicheng shouted.
"Tonight's judges are Magic, McGrady, O'Neal, Barkley, Wilkins..." Zhang Weiping shouted.
In the locker room, Zhao Chen put on his equipment and walked out.
Today, countless basketball fans in China are paying attention to Zhao Chen's slam dunk contest.
This is the first time in the history of the NBA that a yellow race has participated in the dunk contest. Zhao Chen has broken various records since he announced his participation in the dunk contest.
"Zhao, come on!!"
“You don’t have to win the championship, just participating is a victory!”
"You are the best, you will definitely win the championship!"
As soon as Zhao Chen appeared at the player's tunnel, even though he had not officially appeared yet, the entire Air Canada Center stadium was already in an uproar.
Zhao Chen has fans all over the world. His participation in the dunk contest has raised the atmosphere of the entire dunk contest to the extreme.
LaVine, Gordon, and Drummond have never enjoyed this kind of crazy attention. Tonight, they are just Zhao Chen's opponents.
The yellow people and Asians were shouting even more excitedly at this moment.
Zhao Chen's appearance was enough to make them feel proud.
Appearance ceremony.
Ready-made DJs constantly arouse fans' emotions.
The first one to appear was Drummond. After being selected by the Pistons, Drummond quickly became the core of the Pistons' interior. His physical fitness is very strong, and his rebounding ability is also particularly outstanding. However, his offensive skills are slightly poor, except at the basket. There are basically no other ways to attack.
The second player to appear was Zach LaVine. LaVine was a player selected by the Timberwolves in 2014. LaVine has excellent athletic ability, with a vertical jump of 105.4 centimeters, and a very fast first step.
During the game, LaVine likes to use single jump shots to end the offense, but his shooting is not stable.
LaVine is afraid of physical confrontation on both ends of the offense and defense. He is very weak in on-ball and off-ball defense. He is unable to fight against strong defenders. He is also not very willing on the defensive end. He often misses people and is easily broken through. ..
LaVine was last year's dunk contest champion.
The third player to appear was Aaron Gordon. Gordon is known for his rare explosive power, strong running and jumping ability, and good control of his body.
Gordon has broad shoulders, excellent upper body strength, and a strong ability to read the game. He likes to share the ball with his teammates.
The defensive end is impeccable, he has an excellent sense of position on the court, his footwork is very good, and he can follow outside players closely and maintain pressure. His biggest shortcoming is his poor shooting ability.
But the slam dunk contest has nothing to do with shooting, it just needs to be dunked in. This is what he is good at.
After the first three players appeared, the lights quickly dimmed.
The music and rhythm are constantly improving!
The ring came to the sidelines, and Zhao Chen was ready.
"Let us welcome last season's MVP, FMVP, and championship winner!! Zhao Chen from the Los Angeles Lakers!!"
Zhao Chen opened his arms and ran to the field high-fiving the people around him.
Although LaVine and Gordon are very popular for their dunks, the grandness of Zhao Chen's appearance ceremony only shows how much attention this game has received.
"Viewers, welcome to watch today's slam dunk contest. The people who will compete today are very exciting."
"Zhao Chen, LaVine, Gordon, and Drummond are all famous dunkers in the NBA."
"Zhao Chen and LaVine have high voices for winning the championship. Of course, Gordon cannot be ignored."
While the on-site commentator continued to introduce several people, clips of dunks by four people in the NBA regular season were continuously played on the court.
Zhao Chen also ran to greet the surrounding audience.
Almost all the All-Stars brought their families to the sidelines to watch the dunk contest.
In addition to active players, there are many NBA stars, entertainment superstars, and well-known figures in various fields on the sidelines.
After waiting for about 10 minutes.
Everything is ready and the dunk contest begins.
Zhao Chen took a deep breath. Tonight, he will make the whole world crazy for him! ! !
