As Lin Ri walked off the court, the enthusiastic atmosphere on the court temporarily came to an end.

Then began the three-point shooting contest.

The Suns have two players who will participate in this event, Stephen Curry and Channing Frye.

Channing Frye did not come to Dallas with Lin Ri and others at that time. He rested at home for an extra day before coming to Dallas. In his words, this day was used to adjust his condition.

There is no doubt that he is still very concerned about this three-point shooting contest. Of course, this is normal. For a player like Channing Frye who is positioned as the league's "high turret", getting an All-Star three-pointer

The winner of the three-point shooting contest is worth at least $2 million more. For example, Kapono won the final championship in the All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest, and only then regained his reputation in the league and established a firm foothold.

And that's what Channing Frye needs.

Otherwise he wouldn't pay so much attention to it.

"Come on, Stephen!"

It was Curry who cheered for Lin Ri just now, and now it is Lin Ri's turn to cheer for Curry.

"OK, I will come back as a champion too!"

Stephen Curry looked eager to try, but at the same time he was a little nervous.

Lin Ri won the "Slam Dunk Contest". He is also a rookie of the Suns this year. Stephen Curry naturally wants to win the "Three-Point Shooting Contest".

It’s not that he wants to compete with Lin Ri, but since Lin Ri has won the “Slam Dunk King” and participated in the three-point shooting contest, he can’t perform too poorly in any way.

Set a small goal for yourself, well... get the championship in this three-point shooting contest!

Hey hey hey!

In addition to the two Suns, participating in this three-point shooting contest are Daquan Cook, the key player from last season, Gallinari, Chauncey Billups, and Paul Pierce...

In terms of the luxury of the lineup, although it cannot be compared with the list of the "Slam Dunk Contest" - even if there are two Finals MVPs, there are two "vote kings" in the Slam Dunk Contest. The honor may not be comparable, but in terms of popularity

, the lineup for the three-point shooting contest is really not as good as the lineup for the dunk contest.

But in terms of strength, it is still a bit difficult to become the ultimate champion among these people.

Therefore, if you can get the key to this three-point shooting contest, in the eyes of Channing Frye and the others, it is quite valuable!

Then it’s even more important to perform well!

Stephen Curry was the first to take the court.

When he was in college, Stephen Curry was famous for his accurate three-pointers. At that time, he was considered by many scouts to be the "next Ray Allen."

It shows that his shooting ability is strong.

Of course, that was back then, and the current Stephen Curry will definitely no longer be regarded as the next "Ray Allen". Among other things, his dribbling ability is not what Ray Allen can possess.

As for becoming the next Steve Nash, it seems that there is not much possibility now. His organizational ability and passing ability are really not as good as Steve Nash...

However, as a substitute player, he averaged 13.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 24.3 minutes per game. His future is not bleak...

Stephen Curry came on the court and received a lot of cheers.

The Suns' exposure this season has been greatly increased due to their record and Lin's influence, which has also attracted a lot of attention to Stephen Curry.

You can tell from these cheers that he is quite popular.

The scene showed Stephen Curry's wife Ayesha Alexander excitedly shouting "come on" as she headed toward the court before he started shooting.

Then Stephen Curry pressed the start button and jumped in.

Stephen Curry is in good form and made two consecutive shots.

Although the three-point shooting contest is an unguarded game, due to time constraints, the shooter cannot adjust for every ball, which makes the rhythm of the shot very important.

In addition, whether the shooting percentage of the first few balls is high is also important.

If you see that the first two balls are not made, the pitcher's mentality will definitely be affected, but if he can make the shot, the pitcher will definitely be more confident to take action.

For a pitcher, self-confidence is their biggest reliance.

When they believe they can make a shot, they will definitely make a shot.

No, after Stephen Curry made the first two shots, he obviously looked more determined, because he could feel that he had chosen a very correct path. If he continues on this path, his results this time will definitely not be the same.

It will be different.

After all, he is a newcomer who has attracted the attention of the league this season by relying on three-pointers. When Stephen Curry was taking the fourth set of shots, the ball even fell into the basket continuously.

The situation was just like the cannonballs hitting the designated target one after another, without deviating from the trajectory, and exploding at the same place. This immediately caused the whole audience to burst into loud cheers.

This is how the three-point shooting contest gets fans excited.

Three-pointers are not easy to score. When the ball continuously goes into the basket, it must be a scene that makes people want to cheer.

"Whoosh!"

Amid cheers, Stephen Curry hit the last ball in his hand. With his hit, his score in the preliminaries was fixed at 21 points.

"yes!"

This result is very good. In some previous games, this result can win the championship. It is a very good result. This also makes Stephen Curry clenched his fists excitedly. He himself is also very satisfied with this result.

.

Back on the sidelines, Stephen Curry and Lin Ri also high-fived excitedly.

Then he turned his attention to Paul Pierce, who appeared next.

Stephen Curry was very confident in his performance, but when he saw Pierce preparing to start shooting, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

This is probably the common psychology of the contestants.

Just like Lin Ri just now, it's one thing to have confidence in yourself, but it's another thing to be nervous.

Of course, then again, when a lion fights a rabbit, you also need to go all out. It is not a bad thing to be cautious and nervous when approaching the game, so that you can perform well!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Moreover, Paul Pierce is really the opponent that Stephen Curry needs to worry about. He is also in very good condition tonight, and the first few balls went into the basket smoothly.

Regarding the opening, he was much better than Stephen Curry. Stephen Curry's third ball bounced out of the frame, but he didn't bounce out until the first ball of the second group...

"Bang!"

It was also because the advance was so crisp and clear that Paul Pierce's final score in this round was 22 points!

One point more than Stephen Curry.

OMG!

Stephen Curry, who had been quite relieved just now, was a little stunned now. He also couldn't believe it. He obviously shot a good result, but how come the second person who came up immediately put him in crisis...

…

He appeared a little panicked.

I started to think about whether these 21 points were not enough to enter the finals.

"You're kidding, how can you not get in!"

At least 21 points!

Lin Ri comforted him.

He is very clear about the results of previous three-point shooting competitions. 21 points has been the score that can win the championship in several competitions. How could he not even make it to the finals this time?

Lin Ri thinks so.

It's just that after Chauncey Billups finished shooting, he was a little unsure.

These 21 points don’t seem to be safe enough!

Chauncey Billups scored 22 points!

This is another one with a better score than Stephen Curry.

There are still three people who haven't made a shot. If there is another 22 points, Stephen Curry will not be able to enter the finals.

"..."

"..."

Now Lin Ri and Stephen Curry did not dare to express their anger. They just looked at Ku An who came out next, thinking in their hearts: Less than 21, less than 21!

Channing Frye will also appear later.

I guess they will say the same thing!

There is no other way. Although we are teammates, at this moment, of course, the most important thing is to "survive" ourselves.

It has some influence that the first three people performed so well. The key player in the last All-Star Three-Point Shooting Competition was obviously affected. He missed all the shots in the first round. Although his touch recovered a little later, due to the start of the game

It was so bad that his final score was only 18 points.

3 points less than Curry!
