    As early as January 16, the NBA had announced the list of eight people participating in this year's three-point shooting contest. Among them, Ray Allen, the champion of last year's NBA three-point shooting contest, is the most eye-catching.

    Ray Allen made 10 consecutive shots in the second round of last year's Three-Point Contest, and finally narrowly defeated Peja Stojakovic of the Kings and won the first Three-Point Contest championship in his career.

    Among the eight participants in this year's three-point shooting competition, Ray Allen is also the only one who has won the championship in this event. Before this, four players had won the three-point shooting competition more than once. They are Kyle  Larry Bird of the Special Team, Greg Hodges of the Bulls, Mark Price of the Cavaliers and Jeff Hornacek of the Jazz.

    Of course, Ray Allen hopes to become the fifth. His three-point shooting performance this season is still very good, with a total of 90 of 206 shots, with a shooting percentage of 43.7% But his opponents will not compare the championship trophy and 2  The $5,000 prize was given away!

    In addition to Ray Allen, the other seven participants in this three-point contest are Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, Wesley Persson of the Cavaliers, and Steve of the Mavericks.  Nash, Magic's Mike Miller, Spurs' Steve Smith, Clippers' Quentin Richardson and Pistons' Wang Dalin.

    These seven people are not simple. Needless to say, Peja is one of them. Anyone who is a senior fan knows his accomplishments in three-pointers. Last year, he failed to perform well in the second round, which was why he unfortunately lost. This year, he made a comeback.  Just come for the championship.

    The Cavaliers' Wesley Persson has made 67 of 142 three-pointers so far this season, with a shooting percentage of 47.2%. He averages 15.2 points per game and has now firmly established himself as the Cavaliers' starting shooting guard.

    This is the first time for the Spurs' Steve Smith to participate in the three-point contest. This season, he made 70 of 124 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 56.5%, temporarily ranking first in the league.

    Steve Nash of the Mavericks believes that Chinese fans are familiar with him. He is also the only point guard participating in this year's three-point contest. So far this season, Nash has made 79 of 173 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 45.7%.  He averaged 18.9 points and 7.9 assists per game.

    Mike Miller and Quentin Richardson are both top shooters in the league in three-point shooting percentage, but they are far behind Wang Dalin.

    There is a saying that Wang Dalin is the one with the highest status among all the contestants in this three-point shooting contest. He is currently averaging 26.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals per game.  , the three-point shooting rate is as high as 48.1%.

    You read that right!

    Wang Dalin has made 116 of 241 three-pointers so far this season. He currently ranks first in the league in three-pointers made, 26 more three-pointers than Ray Allen, who ranks second.  ball!

    As a player who has traveled back from the small ball era, Wang Dalin has shown very good three-point shooting ability as early as last season. This season, he has surpassed everyone in the number of three-point shots and hits.

    He didn't feel much at all. After all, he only made 116 three-pointers in most of the season. This was really insignificant compared to those players in the small ball era in later generations, but in this era, his performance can make everyone admire him.  Discoloration.

    Because of his status as the boss of the Pistons, he is destined to be different from most players participating in the three-point shooting contest. The only one with a similar status to him is Ray Allen, the boss of the Bucks.

    ??Except for the two of them and Nash, the Mavericks' main point guard, the other contestants have basically been labeled as "shooters", even the current Peja is no exception.

    ……

    The lights in the "First United Center" arena in Philadelphia were brightly lit, and eight players came on the court to warm up. As soon as Peja pitched a ball, he turned to the staff and asked: "Are these new balls?"

    The staff member smiled and said: "Of course they are new balls. These balls are specially prepared for the three-point shooting contest!"

    After hearing this, Peja frowned at first, but soon smiled and said to the staff member: "Okay, thank you!"

    Wang Dalin asked curiously: "Peja, you asked him if it is a new ball. Is there any mystery?"

    Peja smiled and said: "We usually use old balls when we play games, because the old balls feel better and everyone is more accustomed to the old balls, so I just found out that these balls are new.  It’s comfortable, but it’s okay now!”

    "Why?" Wang Dalin asked in confusion, "Shouldn't they replace us with old balls?"

    Peja laughed out loud and said: "Why do you need to replace the old ball? Now everyone uses new balls to participate in the competition, then?And he also continued this feeling to the second point, making another 5 shots.

    Just looking at this posture, Peja and Persson already had a bad feeling in their hearts Damn it!  Isn't this guy too accurate?  It seems that there is no escape from the playoff!

    It wasn’t until the fourth goal at the third point that Wang Dalin finally missed, but he scored again on the following flower ball.

    After three points, he scored 17 points. Other contestants have already confirmed that Wang Dalin's score in the first round should be the first After all, with his touch tonight, the remaining two points totaled 10 goals.  Reaching 6 points is a piece of cake!

    Wang Dalin stretched his hips a little at the fourth point, but he still scored 4 points due to the flower ball shot. As long as he scored 2 points at the last point, he could overtake Ray Allen and become the number one in the first round.

    ??In the three-point shooting competition, some people will be under great pressure because the previous player shot a high score, which eventually leads to their own abnormal performance and a low score.

    Such examples abound, and have happened many times in the history of the NBA All-Star Weekend, but obviously Wang Dalin is not this kind of person.

    He only missed one shot at the fifth point and ended up with 26 points. While winning first place in the first round, he also broke the record for the highest score in the Three-Point Contest set by Greg Hodges in 1986.  .

    That year, Hodges scored 25 points in the three-point contest. This record stood for 16 years until 2002!

    The audience was completely excited. They witnessed the birth of a new record with their own eyes. This scene was much more shocking than when Larry Bird went to shout in front of his opponents before the game.

    Peja and Persson looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

    Isn’t this so terrible?

    With 20 points, you can’t directly advance to the second round?

    Has this ever happened in the history of the Three-Point Contest?

    Soon the host explained the answer to this question to the audience - "No!"

    That's right, since the NBA established the Three-Point Shootout Contest in 1986, there has never been a game in the past 16 years where someone who scored 20 points in the first round could not directly advance to the second round In fact, many times 20 points  Already able to rank first in the first round!

    Wang Dalin was very calm, because he had watched the 2019 Three-Point Shootout Contest in his previous life. That time, both Danny Green and Devin Booker scored 23 points, and they still failed to advance to the second round.

    In fact, one thing he did not expect was that there were a total of 9 flowers in the three-point contest in later generations, but now there are only 5 flowers. This means that the total score in the three-point contest in later generations was 34 points, but in this era there were only 30 points.  , so the 20 points scored by Peja and Persson tonight are not necessarily less valuable than the 23 points scored by Green and Booker in later generations. At least they are on the same level!

    Considering that the 2019 Three-Point Shooting Contest is recognized as the strongest three-point shooting contest in history, in the early 21st century, an era when three-pointers are far from popular, this one will undoubtedly be popular for a long time.  It is called "the most powerful three-point shooting competition in history" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
