Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Shit! What do these pitchers do on the training ground? No wonder the entire league can't find a reliable pitcher!"

He was smiling on the surface, but in his heart, James wanted to scold him now. He was already prepared to see Zuo Li embarrassed, and the schedule was very unfavorable to Zuo Li. Although the last 18 points were not bad, after all, he was the first one to play, and he would be the first to play.

He is a benchmark that is easily surpassed.

Who would have thought that this group of people was one after another, with the highest score being only 17 points, and the lowest score being only 15 points. According to the rules, before the last person came out, Zuo Li had enough points to enter the finals!

Damn it, you are all playing me, right?

It’s not that…

In fact, this is the true level of three-point shooters in this era. With a total score of 30 points, not every shooter can score 20. If you don’t believe it, just look at the winning results of previous three-point contest champions.

.

Thinking about it, Bird only used 16 points to win his second three-point contest championship. When he won the third consecutive championship, he only needed 17 points. Bulls sharpshooter Craig Hodges, who also won three consecutive championships, scored three times respectively.

It's 19,17,16.

Of course, Craig Hodges set two records in the preliminaries of the 1991 Three-Point Contest by hitting 19 consecutive three-pointers and hitting 21 three-pointers in a single round. No one can break it to this day.

The most outrageous one is Jeff Hornacek, the 2000 Three-Point Contest champion. This guy scored an epic 13 points in the final, but he magically won the championship. This was also the lowest score in the history of the Three-Point Contest champion.

Compared with him, Zuo Li's score for entering the finals was purely high, and he really relied on his opponent to support him. Compared with him, Zuo Li's score was nothing.

And in competitions, there is no need to compare with historical records. You just need to be better than your opponent.

You and I met a bear in the wild. Do you think you ran to outrun the bear?

So Zuo Li accepted the result of entering the finals very calmly. He knew that some people were not convinced, but this is the result. If you are not convinced? Then go find the property management!

"Sometimes this is fate. Even if you don't accept it, he will still be the first to enter the finals. You know his strength." Yang Yi felt comfortable.

"No, no, no, there is still a defending champion in the end. I can't be sure whether he is ranked first, but Zuo Li is really good and has very steady hands. I look forward to his performance in the finals," Yu Jia said.

Now all the focus is on Cook. His performance will determine which of the three players will be in the finals, and which one of Zuo Li will appear.

It can be seen that Cook is a little nervous. As a role player, he is not familiar with such an occasion where the whole audience is focused. Although he is the defending champion, although his previous scores are not high, although Wade and James are giving him

Come on, but his heart is not strong enough, so this effort becomes a burden for him.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Five shots and five irons! The first point announced that he would miss the finals. Although he felt recovered in the last four points, the pitfalls before were too big. In the end, he only scored 15 points, tied for last place, and was eliminated early.

disuse.

James: "..."

I don't want to talk, I just want to be quiet...

In both competitions, the people he supported failed in the preliminaries, and no one was lucky.

In the end, Pierce, Billups, who scored 17 points, and Zuo Li, who scored 18 points, entered the finals.

Zuo Li thus became the first No. 5 player to reach the finals in the history of the Three-Point Contest.

"Changed! Support Zuo Li!" Duncan suddenly stopped feeling sleepy and changed his vote directly.

"Me too!" Xiao Si stretched out his hand.

"I also…"

"Then I might as well..."

"This is the center's moment of glory, I'm here too!"

"Then I will change it too..." Howard gritted his teeth and decided to support Zuo Li. Who made Zuo Li the fifth position? If he can really win the championship, it will be considered a glory for the center.

So in a short period of time, Zuo Li's support rate jumped to the highest level. Kobe was speechless. These guys were going too far. They looked down on Zuo Li so much just now, but they changed in the blink of an eye.

But it's normal for Kobe not to understand the mood of the centers.

You must know that although the All-Star is a carnival of five positions, the insiders obviously suffer in this performance mode. Not everyone is O'Neal, Howard and Zuo Li. Most of the insiders are simple and unpretentious, or they are small.

People like Si who need the support of guards, people like Zuo Li who can play alone, people like O'Neal who are natural comedians, and talented monsters like Howard who can participate in the slam dunk contest and achieve results are absolutely rare.

If Howard had not participated in the original dunk contest, his popularity would never be as high as it is now. This is for sure. Although many stars look down on the All-Stars, his publicity effect is undoubtedly the top of this era. How many players are there?

I won’t go into details about the benefits here, there are too many.

However, most of them are outside players. They dribble well, move well, dunk well, and can participate in individual competitions. Apart from other things, none of the three individual competitions is suitable for centers to participate in.

But the center also wants to play. Why are you the ones taking the limelight? Who can understand the resentment in their hearts!

Therefore, once a center performs well in an individual event, the other centers are still very united. For example, Towns, who later won the skills competition, dragged other centers with him when receiving the award.

So at this time, Zuo Li once again transformed into the light of the center, carrying the hope of the center.

Just like that, the finals begin!

The first one to appear was Pierce. His touch was average in the preliminaries, but he clearly found his shooting touch in the finals. He averaged 4 points at each of the five points, and finally scored 20 points. This was also the first 20 points tonight.

.

Then came Billups. His touch was worse than in the preliminaries. After shooting, he scored 14 points and exited the championship early.

The pressure came to Zuoli's side, he needed to score more than 20 points, otherwise he would have to watch Pierce win the cup.

"Huh~" Zuo Lisong breathed out, turning a deaf ear to the cheers. He wanted to focus all his attention on the ball.

"Dip~"

Game start!

Zuo Li took the spherical frame and shot it in one go!

Swish, brush, brush, hit four goals in a row!

It's just a pity that the iron is made from flowers.

The second point is that Zuo Li made a flower ball, but missed two ordinary balls, another four points!

When he came to the top of the arc, Zuo Li was still steady and scored the same four points. At the fourth point, he missed the first third ball and still got four points!

16 points!

When it came to the last point, Zuo Li and Pierce scored exactly the same in the first four points!

The last point!

The audience had all stood up to watch Zuo Li throw the first pitch!

Score in!

The second ball! Hit the front edge, immediately adjusted to the left, and the third ball fell into the pocket!

18 points!

The fourth ball bounced in under everyone's gaze, a lucky ball, 19 points, which means there will be no draw in this game!

The last flower ball is thrown in, and the winner is won. If the throw is missed, watch the opponent win the championship!

The eyes of fans all over the world are focused on this ball!

Zuo Li takes the ball and takes action!

Curry had already stood up and opened his arms, while Zuo Li landed and turned around to start celebrating!

brush!

Score in!

21 points!!! Zuo Li won the championship!!!
