Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Fifteen minutes after the skills contest ended, the fans' eyes struggled to break away from the hot bodies of the cheerleaders, because the players participating in the three-point contest also completed their appearance ceremony and the game officially began.

The players participating in the game were lined up, standing in the order of appearance. They were Zuo Li, Billups, Channing Frye, Paul Pierce, Gallinari and the previous champion Cook.

Zuo Li, who had just participated in the skills competition and had just shot less than 10 three-pointers in the training ground, and had not found the best shooting touch, was assigned to be the first to appear. I have to say, this is definitely a sign.

, There is no worse lottery than this.

Barkley complained for Zuo Li during the live broadcast: "Please, Zuo Li has just left this venue for a few minutes, and you let him go first. Isn't this a bit unfair to him? I don't think he even had a chance to go."

warm up."

Of course, some people think that there is no way around this. After all, since you have to participate in so many competitions, you need to bear the risk of doing so. It is unreasonable and unfair to let others accommodate you.

Zuo Li himself thinks so, so he doesn't think there's anything wrong with being the first to appear. Since he's not the defending champion and doesn't have the right to be the finale, it all depends on how others rank him, so for this order Zuo Li

There are no other emotions except sighing that I have bad luck sometimes.

On the contrary, Zuo Li immediately relaxed.

It was absolutely impossible to say that I had no idea about this championship before. This is the only individual championship that Zuo Li has not won. If he can win it, Zuo Li will achieve a Grand Slam in individual events, which is unprecedented in history.

It's a unique thing.

So even though the individual event's bonus to his personal historical status is not large, because of the gold content of this first time, Zuo Li's popularity and evaluation can reach new heights.

But...the current sequence makes it a little difficult for Zuo Li to win the championship. So Zuo Li is ready to completely put down his burden and just shoot like he does in training.

Zuo Li put down his burden, but some people were still aggrieved.

"Ha! What does this alliance think about this order? You only have a few people. Without Zuo Li, there are still a few people who care." Yang Yi told the truth as soon as he was anxious. If Yu Jia hadn't kicked him hard from below,

He had to say something even worse.

But there is nothing wrong with what he said. The three-point contest is indeed becoming less and less attractive to fans. Think about how many famous scenes were created when the three-point contest first started. Larry Bird’s sentence: "You are all

Are you here to compete for second place?" And the scene of wearing training clothes and beating the opponent is still unforgettable.

But looking at it now, not only are there not many players who are famous for their three-pointers, but the overall level has also stagnated. The only way to create buzz is by attracting big players to join.

However, although many big players in this era have begun to have three-point ability, few are specialized in it. Generally, they are pretty good in the game, but they often get stretched in such situations. In addition, they can now make three-pointers.

Except for a few players, the insiders are generally not very popular, so they have not received the ideal attention.

It’s no wonder that many fans predicted before this three-point contest: “It’s time for the league to change its rules again.”

The fans are right if they don't decide to change the rules when things go wrong.

However, Zuo Li feels that the three-point contest itself is unattractive. After all, it is relatively rigid. Unlike the slam dunk contest, there is no explosive point overall. What attracts the audience is the players.

For example, in the most successful period in later generations, the civil war between the Warriors and the Splash Brothers, when Curry finally won the championship, the success was not due to high scores, but to Curry and Thompson themselves.

As for the rules that have been changing since then, Zuo Li just wants to say that it is all Larry Bird's fault. He is the one who brought the three-point contest to a level that was not originally his.

So Yang Yi's incomprehension can be easily explained. Originally, he relied on Zuo Li, but if you do this now, it's a fool's errand.

Director Zhang immediately came out to smooth things over: "Don't worry, everyone, the game hasn't started yet. Zuo Li may not be eliminated. I still have full confidence in him!"

Just after Director Zhang said these words, Zuo Li was finally ready to start the game.

The current rules have not been changed, there are five points, each point has five balls, four points are worth one point, one flower ball is worth two points, the total score is 30 points, and the time limit is one minute.

Zuo Li's touch was really average at the first point, and he only made the last flower ball. The second point was a little better, with one flower ball and one ordinary ball, three points. The top of the arc is Zuo Li's best point, and Zuo Li made the shot.

Three ordinary balls, another three points.

After three points, Zuo Li only scored 8 points, but Zuo Li fans breathed a sigh of relief. At least they won't catch up with Gang Leader Qiao!

At the fourth point, the left winger's touch improved, and he scored three out of four. The last flower ball was also scored, saving 5 points at one point, and the accumulation reached 13 points. At the last point, after the first missed shot, four were scored.

In the end, Zuo Li scored 18 points.

Zuo Li was very satisfied and gave Curry and David Lee high-fives one by one. In fact, Zuo Li could often score 25 points in training, but games were different after all. Zuo Li was already very satisfied with 18 points.

There is one thing, he doesn't quite remember the specific scores of other people this time, so he can't judge whether he is stable, so he can only wait for others to appear like others.

"Not bad, Zuo Li is very good at it." Director Zhang praised, this was beyond many people's expectations.

18 points is already a good score. Although it is not guaranteed to reach the finals, it is not completely impossible.

And Yang Yi was even more uncomfortable. This score was scored under such an unfavorable situation. If one or two games were postponed, Zuo Li had a chance to score 20 points!

James breathed a sigh of relief. This score was relatively ambiguous, but looking at the people after him, it shouldn't be so bad that he couldn't even surpass 18 points!

result……

The second player to appear was Billups. He made all four shots at the first point, but unfortunately missed the ball. Then he couldn't stop. There were only 13 points before the last point, but all four shots before the last point were made.

However, under the watchful eyes of all the fans, he missed the crucial ball...

17 points, this is not as good as Zuo Li.

Billups shook his head, not satisfied with himself.

However, Frye, who came on the scene after that, only scored 15 points...

Pierce performed well in the first three points and scored 14 points. However, there was a sudden power outage in the last two points and he only had 17 points. Gallinelli, who came on second to last, also only had 15 points...

Before the defending champion came out, the highest score was Zuo Li's 18 points!

"omg! Zuo Li has entered the finals!" Barkley was stunned.

Could it be that this is what the legend says, and it all depends on the support of peers!?

James is already numb...
