Li Hao felt that he was right not to participate in all the games on the second day, because this way he could truly relax and enjoy this day of All-Stars.
Of today's three major events, the one with the highest value and attention is definitely the three-point contest. Curry and Thompson, the splash brothers, compete together. In addition, there are All-Stars Harden and Irving, and this year's three-point contest Korver has the highest hit rate, and Italian cannon Belinelli.
To be honest, when I see this list, there are almost all the best shooters in the league. The only regret is that Li Hao is not on this list.
Li Hao didn't care. Wouldn't it be nice to watch today's three major events in the stands with Omei? Wouldn’t it be nice to relax after a few months of playing?
The first of the three major events is the Skills Challenge. Compared with the three-point contest, the most famous players in the Skills Challenge are Yinthia Thomas, Kyle Lowry and Jeff Teague. Originally, Wall and Butler were also included. But the two finally withdrew from the skills challenge.
The competition rules of the Skills Challenge are two-by-two groups, with a total of four groups. The winner will advance to the next round, and the best champion will be determined in three rounds.
In fact, any event will lose its freshness if held too many times. This is true for the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest, and the Slam Dunk Contest.
In Li Hao's impression, well, Li Hao doesn't seem to have any impression of the skills competition. What Li Hao really has an impression of is the three-point contest.
Jordan's history of low scores, this almost shameful record, should be the last thing the old gangster wants to mention, but there is no way. Since the three-point contest has been held, there have been dozens of champions, but only Jordan has only scored 5 points.
Then there is the line that forced King Larry Bird to say, "Are you all here to compete for second place?"
The dunk contest is more influential than the three-point contest. Jordan participated in the 1988 dunk contest, Carter's 2000 dunk contest, and then the strongest showdown between LaVine and Gordon.
………………………………………….
The champion of the skills challenge was won by Rockets guard Beverley. Mad Dog is obviously not only good at defense, but also very good at offense. Jeremy Lin left the NBA early and even couldn't survive in the CBA, but Beverley has always been able to survive in the NBA. The gap between the two can be seen here.
After the skill challenge, there was the three-point contest. Compared with the two or three kittens in the skill challenge, the three-point contest was really star-studded.
"Are you interested in playing?" A kind of player in the stands got together and started a small bet. It's a characteristic of the NBA. Players often bet on certain things.
"How to bet?" Li Hao and pornographic gambling are incompatible with each other, but the nature of this joke, and the fact that everyone is participating, Li Hao does not refuse.
"Ten thousand for each person, and whoever guesses correctly will share it equally." Old melon Anthony opened the market today.
"Then I'll bet on Stephen." Li Hao's only impression of this three-point contest is that Curry broke the three-point master's scoring record.
This year Curry defeated Thompson with a record 27 points. The next year Thompson also defeated Curry with 27 points. The Splash Brothers are so harmonious and loving.
"Counting you, there are already twelve people participating, and counting you, there are two people who are betting on Stephen." Don't look at Curry's three-point shooting in the game, but the fact is that he has never won the three-point contest championship, and this year he has already This is Curry's fourth time participating in the three-point contest, so not many people are betting on Curry.
"Someone is treating me to a big dinner tonight," Li Hao said to O Mei after Anthony left.
"Are you that confident?" O'Mei didn't pay much attention to basketball until she became Li Hao's girlfriend.
"How about we also make a bet?" Li Hao couldn't help but said.
"When Stephen Curry won the three-point contest, I won, not you. The winner can ask the other party to do one thing," Li Hao suggested.
"Okay" Omei agreed.
……………………………………………
The three-point contest is divided into two rounds, the preliminaries and the finals. Everyone takes turns shooting, and the three with the highest scores advance to the finals. Curry is not the first in the preliminaries.
Thompson had the highest score in the preliminaries, followed by Curry, and Irving ranked third. Irving was the champion in 2013, and Belinelli was the champion last year. But unfortunately, the defending champion Italian Cannon even made it to the finals this time. If he doesn’t go, he only scores 18 points and ranks fifth.
Three-pointers are very tricky. Thompson had the best score in the preliminaries with 24 points, but ended up with 14 points in the final. Irving was better than Thompson, but it was limited, and he only scored 17 points.
The result of the three-point contest has not changed. As long as Li Hao does not end, the butterfly wings will not play a role. The power of historical inertia is no worse than wings.
"Man, 60,000 yuan is yours." There were a total of 120,000 yuan. Two people guessed correctly, and each person split the 60,000 yuan equally.
Putting aside the capital, Li Hao also earned 50,000 yuan. Maybe 50,000 yuan is nothing to this group of stars, but it is already a huge sum of money to ordinary people.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Li Hao looked at Aomei.
"Are you happy that you won your girlfriend?" Aomei looked at Li Hao and asked.
"Of course, don't miss out on the bet," Li Hao emphasized.
"Huh, what do you want me to do?" O Mei asked.
Li Hao leaned close to Aomei's ear and told Aomei his request in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
After hearing this, Aomei's face turned slightly red, and then she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Hao.
"I didn't get it back," O'Mei said softly.
"It doesn't matter, we can customize it ourselves." Li Hao obviously would not give up easily.
After hearing what Li Hao said, Omei didn't say anything. Li Hao, who had made a small profit, decided to make another one, so this time he took the initiative to find Anthony.
There is no surprise. This group of stars worth at least tens of millions of dollars has launched a slam dunk contest again, and just like the three-point contest, each person has a price of 10,000, and the money is divided equally among those who guess correctly.
"Zac and I are good friends, so of course I choose to support Zac." Li Hao's reason left people speechless.
Among the players who participated in the dunk contest this year were Giannis Antetokounmpo. Yes, Antetokounmpo also participated in this year's dunk contest and came in last. After that, Antetokounmpo stated that he would never participate in the dunk contest again.
The remaining three are LaVine, Oladipo, and Plumlee. Among the four, LaVine and Oladipo are guards, and Antetokounmpo and Plumlee are both inside.
The dunk contest is not a competition, but focuses more on performance, so there is no advantage for insiders to participate in the dunk contest. This can be known from the previous dunk contest champions.
Since the Dunk Contest has been held, it seems that only a center like Howard has won the championship, and the rest are all outside players, no, Griffin has also won it.
But Griffin is different from the average tall insider. Griffin's height is only 203.
This has not changed in this slam dunk contest. Antetokounmpo and Plumlee were eliminated in the preliminaries. Antetokounmpo only had a meager 65 points, 11 points less than Plumlee who was third.
LaVine presets that both dunks would be full points, which directly ignited the Buckley Center Arena. However, Oladipo only scored 89 points. One can imagine the standard of this slam dunk contest.
Without LaVine, this slam dunk contest could definitely compete to be the worst. It doesn’t seem right. There is no worst in the dunk contest, only worse.
