The next day, Li Hao and LaVine went to the Air Canada Center together, while Kim Seol-hyun went with Holtz. Because he had to participate in the three-point shooting competition, Li Hao could not sit in the stands like yesterday.
According to the normal process, there is the skills challenge first, then the three-point contest, and finally the highlight and the most criticized dunk contest.
However, this one is definitely not included in the criticized dunk contest. This dunk contest is one of the most exciting dunk contests in NBA history.
The three-point contest that received the most attention today was definitely the three-point contest. The excitement of the dunk contest only started after it really started, but in terms of lineup, the dunk contest cannot be compared with the three-point contest at all.
Curry, Thompson, Harden, Li Hao, Lowry, this lineup is no worse than the All-Star Game.
It is no exaggeration to say that this three-point contest gathers the best three-point shooters in the NBA, and even the league is committed to promoting this three-point contest.
"I dare say that this is the most powerful one in the history of the Three-Point Contest." There was no shortage of stars in previous Three-Point Contests, but there really weren't as many as this one.
Not to mention Li Hao, Curry, Thompson, Harden and Lowry who have already entered the All-Stars, Booker and Middleton will also be selected into the All-Stars soon.
Seven of the eight participating players are All-Stars. Even Redick, who did not make the All-Star list, is a famous marksman in the league.

This year's skills competition is a competition between guards and interior lines. The interior lines include Anthony Davis, Towns, Cousins and Dream Green, and the outside lines include McCollum, Thomas, Beverley and Clarkson.
It stands to reason that the skill competition should be the home field of guards, but starting from this year, big men in the inside have begun to occupy the magpie's nest. This year's Towns, next year's Porzingis, and in the future, Sabonis Jr., Sabonis Jr. will even be the winner this year. The big man won the championship and runner-up, with Sabonis as the champion and Vucevic as the runner-up.
The rise of small balls has almost subverted the entire basketball world. In the past, basketball was about strength and body in the inside. In the future, the inside will start to focus more on technology. Players over 2.10 meters tall can dribble like guards.
Teams pursue space, and slim insiders are popular, while traditional insiders have completely declined. The era of insiders informing the world is almost gone forever.
After the skills competition, the staff began to prepare for the three-point shooting competition, and Li Hao also appeared on the stage.
Seeing all the All-Stars on stage, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively. There was nothing I could do about it. Compared with the skills competition and the subsequent slam dunk contest, the stars of the three-point contest were too dazzling.
"The three-point contest with the most luxurious lineup in NBA history has begun." How could the All-Star weekend be without the Big Three?
"Hey guys, who are your favorites?" Kenny Smith asked.
"Kenny, your question is too difficult. There are too many people who can win the championship this time." Li Hao, Curry, Thompson, and Harden have all had wonderful three-point shooting performances this season.
Especially Li Hao, Curry and Thompson, their three-point shooting percentage this season is very scary. Other players have high three-point shooting percentages because they take a good number of shots, but Li Hao, Curry and Thompson rank among the league's most three-point shooting percentages. The forefront.
You can tell this just by looking at Harden. Harden's three-point attempts are about the same as those of the three, but his shooting percentage is only 35%.
Compared with the lowest Thompson, it is eight percentage points behind, and Curry is more than ten points. As for Li Hao, don't compare, Harden will be autistic.
"To be honest, I am more optimistic about Lee, Stephen and Clay." O'Neal is definitely playing the safety card.
Barkley and Kenny Smith said they did not want to talk to O'Neal, and at this time, Li Hao and others were being interviewed in the player tunnel.
"Lee, who do you think is the best shooter?" This is a common question.
"What did Stephen and Kelai say?" Li Hao asked.
"They all talk about themselves," the host replied.
"This is the standard answer. As a shooter, if he does not have absolute confidence, then he cannot become an excellent shooter," Li Hao said.

Today's three-point contest not only has a luxurious lineup, but also a very luxurious audience in the stands. Not to mention that almost all the players participating in this year's All-Stars are in the stands, as well as people from all walks of life.
Entertainment stars, business bosses, team owners, and even stars from other sports. At a glance, there are basically all familiar faces sitting in the front row. Of course, the family members of the players are also indispensable.
At the end of the interview, the group officially made their debut, and after the debut ceremony, the players came off the court to warm up.
The three-point contest is divided into two rounds. In the first round, all players take turns, and the three with the highest scores advance to the finals.
The first player to appear this year is Li Hao, who is also the player with the highest field goal percentage in the regular season this season.
Li Hao's appearance immediately caused a burst of cheers from the audience, and people who were close to Li Hao jumped up to cheer for Li Hao, such as Kobe Bryant, the rookies in 2014.
Although the 2014 rookies raised money in the group to "kill" Li Hao, they were still very united once they were exposed to the outside world.
Li Hao felt good in the warm-up just now. After the start, he seemed to have continued the same feeling in the warm-up. He hit all five shots from the first shooting spot.
However, the shooting rate began to drop at the second point, and only three shots were made. At the third point at the top of the arc, it was even worse, with only one shot. 14
But when it came to the fourth point, the hit rate began to pick up, and three goals were made. Four hits were made at the last point, and the last point was all flowers.
The first one scored all the goals and got 6 points, the second point got three points and got 4 points, the third point got only 1 point, the fourth point got 3 points, the last point got 8 points, plus Got a total of 22 points.
This is a pretty good score, and it was proved next. Redick, who came on the second stage, scored two points less than Li Hao, and only got 20 points. Middleton, who came on the third stage, had even fewer points, and was just pitiful. 13 points.
The fourth player to appear was Thompson. His score was the same as Li Hao, 22 points. Seeing this, Li Hao suddenly felt stable. In fact, it was true. After Thompson, Harden only scored 20 points.
Then the penultimate score was 14 points. The owner of this score belonged to McCollum, one of the Trail Blazers' double guns in the backcourt. It's a pity that Lillard didn't come, otherwise this three-point contest would definitely be more intense.
After McCollum is Booker. Booker is not only the youngest participant in this three-point contest, but also the youngest participant in the history of the three-point contest.
Booker also scored 20 points, so he had the same score as Harden and Redick. If Lowry and Curry fail to score more than this score, the three will have to compete again.
But unfortunately, Curry killed this possibility. Curry, who made his final appearance, scored 22 points, which means that Li Hao, Curry and Thompson all scored 22 points.
There are only three places in the finals, so Li Hao, Thompson and Curry finally entered the three-point contest finals. As for Lowry, he scored 15 points.
