Before the three-point competition began, Li Liang prepared in the locker room.

In this three-point competition, three players from the east and west were sent to play.

This All-Stars have a point battle between the east and west. Starting from the shooting star game, they compete in the east and west, and the points are accumulated.

But fans don’t care who wins and loses in the east and west. What fans want to watch is a wonderful performance.

Whether the East wins or the West wins, will not give fans more bonuses.

The three in the east are Kyrie Irving, Paul George and Steve Novak.

The three in the West are Matt Bonner, Stephen Curry and Li Liang.

While waiting for the appearance, the six people together changed their jerseys and chatted.

Li Liang was wearing a Lakers sports jacket and was wearing shoelaces for his sneakers.

He sat down next to him. Curry was curious when he saw Li Liang's sneakers and said, "This is Under Armour's sneakers, it seems that Bazemore is also wearing these shoes."

Li Liang said, "I am a high-end product, signed and customized. If you want it, I can give you a pair."

Curry shook his head. He signed Nike early in the morning, how could he accept Under Armour's sneakers?

However, in the team, Bazemore has sold him this kind of shoes, so Curry has an impression of this brand.

Curry didn't agree, but Irving was on the side, "Can you give me a pair?"

Li Liang said, "You are not from the West, why should I give it to you? Unless you can win the three-point competition championship, I can consider giving you a pair."

Irving is currently a Nike player, just like Curry.

But he doesn't have his own signature sneakers.

As for why he wanted Li Liang's Under Armour shoes, he just knew it himself.

Sometimes this guy has a weird mind.

Regarding Li Liang's provocative statement, Owen said, "Then I'm going to make your signature shoes."

Li Liang smiled and said, "I can relax the conditions a little. If you can get second, I will give you a pair of my signature shoes."

This statement is even more arrogant, meaning you, Bruce Lee, have you decided to be the first place, right?

A replica of "You are here to compete for second place" in real life.

Li Liang was about to vomit when he heard this sentence when he was about to listen to the task, so he didn't want to be second, nor would he do it second.

Irving was still young, but was agitated by Li Liang and nodded in agreement.

Alas, you are a Nike player. If you buy sneakers from other brands, you will promote other brands.

He accidentally fell into Li Liang's trap.

At this time, the skills challenge was about to end and six people came to the field.

Seeing Lillard win the final championship, he won the trophy in the Skills Challenge.

Houston fans were excited to see the three-point contest about to begin.

This is the main meal tonight.

There are two rounds in this three-point competition.

In the first round, each of the six players made a one-minute shot, and then the player with the highest score was sent from the east and west to participate in the second round.

The second round is the final, the top match between the East and West.

It should be said that the schedule is quite simple and clear, but this gimmick of "East-West Showdown" is really boring.

Such a competition system is likely to result in the two best results in the first round and will not be able to enter the second round final showdown.

Before the official start, six players warmed up on the court and tried their hand.

Matt Bonner, a player from the Spurs, was interviewed by Rick Fox.

Fox was a member of the Lakers' three consecutive championships. After retiring, he went to shoot a film. This time, he was interviewed as a special guest in the All-Star Game.

During the interview, Fox took out a T-shirt and gave it to Bonner.

A T-shirt with a huge red venomous snake on the front is printed with "Matt Bonner" and "Red Mamba" on the back.

After the interview and warm-up, the first Western Conference debut was Stephen Curry.

He wore a white Warriors home jersey, starting from the first point in the right corner.

Curry didn't feel good at the opening game, and he only hit 2 goals in the first point.

The second point, 45 degrees, still not possible, and no ball was entered.

When it reaches the third point, the top of the arc is slightly better.

After that, Curry felt better and better, and the fourth point hit all the way.

Only one of the fifth points was lost.

In the end, he got 17 points, which is still a good score.

Because I was the first to play, I was inevitably under more pressure.

Li Liang didn't want to be the first to play because he wanted to leave some hope for others.

The three-point competition tests not only the shooting skills, but also the mentality, but also stability.

Li Liang's shooting skills are not the strongest in the NBA, but his mentality, especially in the three-point competition, is so stable.

The three-point competition was established in 1986 and has been in the 28th session this year.

But Li Liang participated in the three-point competition alone in the mission, probably more than 28 times.

So it is completely impossible to say that he is nervous.

The second appearance was Red Mambamat Bonner!

Bonner's shooting posture is very distinctive, pushing the shot put!

He chose to start from the bottom corner on the left, which is his preferred position to attack.

Sure enough, he made all 5 shots at the first point and scored 6 points!

Bonner feels quite good, and his shooting posture is a bit weird, but accurate.

After the first three points, Bonner has scored 15 points.

A very high score.

Just enter another one-ball and he will be on par with Curry's score.

And he still has 10 shots without a shot.

However, he didn't make a good shot in the last two points.

Especially the three-pointer on the right bottom corner, this place was not the point he used to to shoot, and only one was entered.

In the end, Bonner scored 19 points, surpassing Curry.

After Bonner finished the shot, the audience held up the Red Mamba's No. 15 jersey.

Chris Paul stood up and cheered for Bonner.

Because the All-Stars were held in Houston and Texas this time, many Spurs players participated in this event, and there were even more Spurs fans.

Let’s see Li Liang’s next.

Li Liang stood up from the bench on the bench, stretched his arm, and waited for the staff to put the ball back on.

He did not take off the Lakers' yellow sports jacket, which was obviously learned from Bird.

In the first round, I can kill you all in my sportswear.

Li Liang is different from Bonner, and he chose to start from the right bottom corner.

With a whistle, Li Liang started shooting.

The first ball, enter.

The second goal is in.

The third goal, the...

The first point is the same as Bonner, and all hits!

Stable, very stable.

At the second point, Li Liang lost a goal.

At the third point, he also missed one goal, but he made both shots.

In this way, he was the same as Matt Bonner, and after shooting in the first three points, he scored 15 points.

His moves were different from Bonner, very standard and smooth.

Moreover, his move was quite light and he threw the ball effortlessly.

This is what he and Larry Bird learned, and you must learn to maintain your strength in the three-point competition.
