Larry Bird in 1986 was at the peak of his NBA career, and both the Celtics and him were in their best form this year.

They will win the best regular season record and win the championship.

Bird will also be crowned the regular season MVP and finals MVP again, pushing his basketball career to the peak.

This All-Star three-point competition is just a small episode in his peak years.

Even so, this coquettish and confident white player still left the classic "fight for second place" quote.

Everyone else was stunned in the locker room. After all, they all knew that Bird was so powerful that if you talk back, you might have to humiliate yourself.

Only Li Liang muttered: "I'm here to compete for the first place."

Li Liang originally thought that he would not respond to anything he said, just like the last mission.

Unexpectedly, Bird actually glanced at Li Liang and said, "The first one is here, I think the second one is more suitable for you."

Bird actually talked to him. Of course, Li Liang would not be afraid in the system and retorted: "I'm sorry, there is no second word in my dictionary."

"OK, then let's see the truth on the field, the nameless boy." Bird looked a little angry and directly called Li Liang the nameless boy.

Li Liang didn't say anything back because he noticed that another line of words popped up in front of him, [Anger value 20, from Larry Bird]

It turns out that you can also get this anger value in the system. It seems that this all-round king training ground is truly open.

Li Liang is now looking forward to what kind of rewards he will get after completing this task.

Maybe such rewards can be exchanged for them at the redemption center.

After talking in the locker room, I still have to see the truth on the court.

The staff went into the locker room to greet everyone on the stage for a warm-up.

The 1986 three-point contest was the first time on the NBA All-Star weekend, so many shooting masters in the league wanted to participate.

People like Celtics, Danny Angie, wanted to participate in this competition, but were ignored by the league.

In Stern's eyes, the one who really likes is Larry Bird.

Bird lived up to expectations. Since 1986, he won the championship in three consecutive three-point competitions, creating a legend in the three-point competition.

Li Liang's mission is to destroy the legend, which is obviously not an easy task.

A total of 8 people participating in the three-point competition, except Bird, were Darrell Ellis of the Dallas Mavericks, Eric Floyd of the Golden State Warriors, Clegg Hodgeth of the Milwaukee Bucks, Nom Nixon of the Los Angeles Clippers defender, Carey Massey of the Chicago Bulls, Trent Tucker of the New York Knicks, and Leon Wood of the Washington Bullets (later Wizards).

Of course, there was an additional Li Liang who opened the back door to enter in the mission, reaching 9 people.

Everyone else was wearing their own team uniforms or sports jackets, and only Li Liang wore a white jersey without any logo.

The standard configuration in the 1980s is a small vest, shorts, stockings and Converse shoes. This system is quite careful.

Because of one more person, the game was in three rounds, 9 to 5 in the first round, 5 to 2 in the semi-finals, and then the final.

Like the subsequent three-point competition, there were five balls in five positions, the last one was a flower ball, an ordinary ball was 1 point, a flower ball was 2 points, and a full score of 30 points.

When Li Liang saw the requirements of this mission, he knew that the difficulty was really great and he wanted to defeat Bird.

Although the two will not have direct confrontation, the psychological pressure can be imagined when confronting a historical superstar like Bird and a trash talk king.

Moreover, the atmosphere on the scene is extremely realistic and there is no difference between it and the real environment.

The Dallas Reunion Arena is different from the old-fashioned Arena in 1950.

The NBA in 1986 has entered modern basketball and has started to broadcast live TV. There is a large electronic screen above the stadium, which has a site of more than 20,000 viewers. The floor is waxing and smooth, and the atmosphere is warm. It is very different from the current NBA arena.

Under such an atmosphere and pressure, it will test a person's psychological quality and on-the-spot performance.

Li Liang knew that this was fake, but he thought that he would stand on such a court in the future, and he was still a little nervous.

The first round began soon, and Li Liang was ranked last. This was a good position. He could wait for everyone else to finish the shot and make a clear score.

The NBA only introduced the three-point line in 1980. At that time, three-pointers were just an opportunistic way to score and had not yet become an important tactic.

In 1986, players in the NBA played basketball since childhood, so shooting three-pointers was a new thing.

Among them, Bird is already the best.

He shot 194 three-pointers in 82 games in a season, with a shooting percentage of 42%. It is also a very high shooting percentage today, but the number of shots is far from comparable to now.

And the others were even worse. Old champion guards like Norm Nixon who once played for the Lakers only threw 100 three-pointers throughout their career to participate in the three-point competition, just to get the ducks on the shelves.

Sure enough, Nixon, Wood, Floyd, Madsey and others, some of which were 25 goals, and some of them could not be finished in a minute, let alone scored points.

Tucker and Ellis performed well, scoring 19 and 17 points respectively, while Bird performed averagely, only scored 16 points.

Clegg Hodges of the Bucks was shocked in the first round and scored a high score of 25 points!

This is really the peak of his debut. In the first round of the first three-point competition, Hodges scored 25 points.

The record was maintained until 2012, and all the contestants in the future could only stay flat and could not break through this score.

Bird looked shocked, and Li Liang widened his eyes. This Hodges looked ordinary and thin, and his shooting was so accurate.

Li Liang didn't know enough about history, so Hodges later went to the Bulls and played a key role in the Bulls' first three consecutive championships.

And like Bird, he won the three-point competition championship for three consecutive years from 1990 to 1992, and was also a three-point maniac.

Finally, it was Li Liang's turn to take the stage. He took a deep breath, stood at the first shooting point, and looked at the timekeeper beside him, ready to start his challenge.

The timing begins!

In one minute, 25 goals are required to be shot at five points, which is more difficult than most people think.

Li Liang's shooting foundation is quite good. Like most Chinese players, although his physical fitness is average, his shooting feels soft and his technical movements are in place.

What Li Liang practices the most in training is shooting, so he can keep free throws in the NCAA field and his shooting basic points are also very high.

But the NCAA's three-point line is different from the NBA. The NCAA's three-point line adopts the old FIBA ​​standard, which is 6 meters 25, while the NBA has a bottom angle of 6 meters 71 and a top of 7 meters 24.

For long-range shots, every extra meter is a world of difference.

Of course, Li Liang realized this early, so he usually trained for ultra-long three-pointers, so the NBA's three-point line is not that difficult.

He started to take the ball and his shooting movements were quite standard, with a standard one-handed shot, a right hand shot, a left hand held the ball, a slightly bent knee, and a leg strength was passed to the hand, and the ball was thrown out.

"1 point, 2 points, 3 points, 4 points, the ball... It's a pity that I didn't win."

The first point Li Liang made a good shot, but the ABA's flower ball was a bit slippery and was not easy to shoot.

At the second point, Li Liang scored 3 points, and at the third point, he scored 3 points, and there were 10 points, and there were still two points in the end.

At this time, Li Liang felt something was wrong. First of all, his continuous shooting caused his physical fitness to decline a little, but this was not the most critical. He found that the shooting time seemed to be insufficient!

"Oh no, it's too late." Li Liang had seen several people who had not finished the timeout before, but now he only realized that one minute passed quickly.

As soon as he was anxious, Li Liang accelerated his attack speed, but his movements were somewhat deformed, and his hit rate dropped sharply.

The fourth point didn’t enter one, and the last point, you can enter three points and enter the next round, just 13 points.

As a result, at the last point, when he made two shots and two balls left, the time came and he only scored 12 points.

He tied for fifth place with the other person, but both of them were eliminated and missed the next round.
