I’m Really Playing Basketball

D-level mission completion...

Chen Xiao didn't even know what to say.

He has done a lot of system tasks, but he has never completed tasks so poorly.

Xiaopao mistook me!

However, after thinking about it for a moment, although it was a D-level mission completion, it was completed anyway.

It's this feeling of completion that makes me feel a little awkward no matter what I do.

Originally, Xiaopao could do better.

Of course, judging from the reward given to him by the system this time.

If you want to get higher rewards, you must not be satisfied with just defeating Ray Allen's younger brothers.

As the biggest favorite, Xiaopao defeated Dina, but he didn't even make it to the finals, let alone win the championship and break the record.

There is no doubt that Xiaopao's task is indeed the lowest level.

Not to mention that Chen Xiao felt a little unsatisfied, even Xiaopao himself felt that his performance tonight was really poor.

He is the favorite to win the championship!

And Wade is just running with him, okay?

But just like the skills challenge, Wade, who accompanied the runner in the end, won the final championship, and he, the biggest favorite, became the supporting role.

This made Xiaopao, who was already a little heartbroken, even more heartbroken.

"Why am I so ineffective every time when the critical moment comes?"

Seeing Wade holding the Skills Challenge championship trophy on the court, Xiaopao kept raising his head on the sidelines.

Speaking of the NCAA quarter-finals, at his most critical moment, facing the guard combination of Delonte West and Jamal Nelson, he was exploded.

Normally, it would be impossible for him to perform so poorly.

There is also the pretending to be against Deron in the draft, the MVP battle in the Rookie Challenge, and this time the Skills Challenge and the championship battle.

He is usually very good, but at this critical moment, he always feels like everything is not going well.

"Is my life destined to be a tragedy?"

This time the All-Star Weekend made Xiao Pao a little doubtful about his life.

And just when Xiaopao was doubting his life, he suddenly felt a hand gently pressing on his shoulder.

When Xiaopao turned around, what he saw was the confident and cheerful smile on Chen Xiao's face.

Chen Xiao said nothing.

But seeing the confident and cheerful smile on Chen Xiao's face, Xiaopao felt that all the gloom in his heart was gone.

Because Xiao Pao has always felt that the confidence and hearty smile on Chen Xiao's face is contagious and highly contagious.

After the skills challenge ended, Chen Xiao and Ray Allen, the two 'big boss protagonists' tonight, looked at each other the same way.

Chen Xiao felt that Xiaopao's performance tonight was abnormal.

On the other side, Ray Allen certainly felt that his younger brother Dina's performance was also abnormal.

"Is it too much pressure tonight?"

Because of the competition between Chen Xiao and him before the game, the pressure on the younger brothers on both sides of tonight's skills competition was actually very high.

For Ray Allen, with Diener's shooting skills, missing five consecutive long-range shots is simply harder than winning the lottery.

In this case, his only reasonable suspicion was that Diener was being pushed a little too hard.

Therefore, before the three-point contest started, Ray Allen repeatedly asked Michael Reid, hoping that he could relax.

In this three-point contest, the participating players include Michael Redd, Terry and Nowitzki, Arenas, Billups and Granger.

The biggest favorite before the start of this three-point contest was Michael Reed.

To be honest, as far as the field of three-pointers is concerned, this three-pointer contest is actually a bit bleak.

Because none of the top marksmen in the NBA participated.

Chen Xiao, Ray Allen, Nash, Peja, all four of the NBA's top shooters did not participate.

After these four great shooters, Nowitzki has the highest shooting percentage among the players participating this time. He has a 41% three-point shooting rate this season, but Nowitzki is not the biggest favorite.

Because he is an insider.

The three-point shooting competition still attaches great importance to the rhythm and speed of shooting, which is somewhat disadvantageous for inside players.

Therefore, before the game, many experts felt that Michael Reid had a huge advantage.

Of course, Chen Xiao has great confidence in his younger brother Granger.

The first player to appear in the preliminaries was Chen Xiao's good friend Arenas. This guy actually signed up for the three-point shooting contest despite his unreliable three-point shooting percentage. Chen Xiao felt that Arenas Houston and Spurs players really regard the All-Stars in Houston as their home court.

So, come out and show off whenever you get the chance.

There is a reason why Chen Xiao is not optimistic about Arenas participating in the three-point contest.

Chen Xiao knows his friend very well. His three-point shot is a nerve knife, and it is the kind of nerve knife that is rarely reliable.

Of course, Arenas is a very powerful key player, but your three-point shot needs to be reliable for the key player's attributes to be useful.

Otherwise, you won't be able to get in from the front, and it will be useless no matter how much you get in from the back.

It’s really not that Chen Xiao is biased against Arenas.

Arenas, who was the first to appear in the preliminaries, missed his first shot, not even a single shot, and Chen Xiao was stunned.

What stunned Chen Xiao even more was that at the last point, Arenas made 5 of 5 shots and scored all 6 points.

I don’t know what to say about this contrast.

This ups and downs style of three-point shooting is indeed similar to Arenas's style of play, but it is really not suitable for the three-point shooting contest.

In the end, Arenas only scored 14 points.

However, it doesn't matter whether Arenas is suitable or not, the key is to be happy.

After finishing his game with all the hits on the last point, the Spurs fans at the scene were so excited and happy.

Amid the huge applause and cheers from the Spurs fans at the scene, Arenas celebrated as if he had already won the championship.

"This kid is so naughty!"

Wade, who had just won the skills competition, felt that he had never been so arrogant.

This kid only scored 14 points in the three-point contest. Just Diaw. Have you ever asked the players behind you?

"However, if Gilbert does this, it may have a miraculous effect."

James said with a smile.

After James finished speaking, Wade was stunned for a moment.

What works wonders?

Can you hard-core psychological players please speak more clearly?

And just when Wade was curious, Terry appeared behind Arenas.

The Mavericks substitute guard, who is also known as a sharp shooter, finally scored 13 points.

This result shocked a lot of people. You must know that Terry has the highest shooting percentage among all the players in the competition, just like Nowitzki.

If Michael Reed is the favorite, Terry is the second favorite!

But such a favorite, playing behind Arenas, actually didn't finish shooting when time expired, and only scored 13 points. I don't know if he was intimidated by the atmosphere created by Arenas, nervous, or inexperienced. Anyway, In the end, Terry's shooting rhythm was all messed up because the time was too tight.

"Gilbert isn't going to reach the finals with 14 points?!"

Howard was a little dumbfounded when he saw Terry look like this due to Arenas' aura.

After seeing Terry being shocked by the atmosphere he created, Arenas next to him became even more excited.

There were constant boos from the sidelines, motivating the Spurs fans in the stadium to boo.

Billups was next to play, and the Pistons point guard performed even worse than Terry this time. Terry scored 13 points, while Billups only had 12 points.

Killed another one!

After even Billups was killed, the fans at the scene became even more crazy.

And Michael Reed, who came on next, was a bit Alexander.

Although the boss Ray Allen told him not to be nervous, but with this atmosphere and Arenas making it seem like he has won the championship in advance, to be honest, if Michael Reid is really not nervous, he is not Michael Reed.

It has to be said that the momentum created by Arenas puts pressure on those players whose shooting movements are not so standard and who do not have enough time, so much that it is a critical hit level.

Just like Michael Reed.

In this three-point contest, Michael Reed did not finish the shot like Terry did. He finished the shot, but his shooting percentage was mediocre because this was not his shooting rhythm at all. He missed all 5 shots at the last point. With only 12 points, in this case, it is basically impossible for Michael Reid to reach the finals.

Seeing Michael Reid being so shocked by Arenas' aura.

Not to mention Chen Xiao, the people next to him, including James, Wade, and Ray Allen, who had ridiculed Arenas's slutty behavior before, were all shocked.

"Brother Luo, you, the second in charge, are truly a talent!"

Wade's eyes widened.

Next to him, Brother Luo smiled lightly and said, "Gilbert and Dwight are not my little brothers, they are both my partners."

Listen to this!

Seeing Howard's moved face next to him, Chen Xiao nodded like crazy in his heart.

To be honest, whether it is a young genius like Howard or a rebellious strongman like Arenas, what they dislike most is to be educated and told to be a father.

Being able to conquer such a group of troubled teenagers when he was not invincible or even a super giant, Luo Ge's emotional intelligence is really incredible.

On the court, after Terry, Billups and Michael Reid were persecuted by Arenas one after another, the next player who was about to be persecuted by Arenas appeared.

The fifth player to appear was Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks' leading player.

Faced with the artificial pressure created by Arenas, the driver's pressure is also not small.

He is originally a big man with slow shots. Although he is also a key player, no key player can beat the time. The rush of time makes Nowitzki panic, and Arenas is so neat next to him. One can imagine how much pressure Nowitzki is under.

Nowitzki scored 12 points before the last flower ball. When everyone thought that Nowitzki would also finish with 12 points, Nowitzki finally hit the final buzzer-beating ball.

When Nowitzki shot the last flower ball, the time was actually up and it should not have counted points. However, the All-Star Game was just for entertainment and there was no live replay, so the ball was still given 2 points. In the end, he scored 14 points. .

After seeing Nowitzki also score 14 points, Cuban, who was still yelling at Arenas for being shameless, suddenly jumped up excitedly, and then excitedly applauded Nowitzki and talked to Arenas at the same time. Si Dui roared.

Because according to the rules of the three-point contest, the top three in the preliminaries advance to the finals, so Arenas and Nowitzki will definitely advance to the finals with 14 points.

No matter how many points Granger scores, it will not affect their quota.

If Granger hadn't scored 13 points, Terry would have made it to the finals.

After Cuban and Arenas yelled at each other, and Arenas had already entered the finals, the boos caused by the Spurs fans at the scene were greatly reduced. This put Granger's shooting pressure definitely after Arenas. The least of all players.

However, because it was his first time to participate in the three-point shooting competition, Granger was still a little nervous at first. After all, it was his first time, so Granger only had 2 points on the first point.

However, Granger's solid shooting skills and solid psychological quality soon came into play.

After the first point, Granger adjusted his emotions and performed better and better, even hitting all the hits at the midpoint. In the end, Granger scored 19 points and successfully entered the finals.

I have to say that in this three-point contest, because of Arenas' troubles, the results in the preliminaries were really low. Only Granger's results seemed to be normal, and the others' results were not so normal.

So after the preliminaries, Michael Reid was very unwilling, while Ray Allen frowned and shook his head.

In the final, Arenas continued to play first. In the final, Arenas' performance was a little more stable than in the preliminaries. When he threw the last colored ball, he still had time to adjust, hit the ball steadily, and scored 16 points.

Nowitzki, who played behind Arenas, scored 18 points. The driver was still very stable after adjusting his mentality.

Although he shoots slowly, he doesn't need the latter points. He scored 13 points in the first three points, and the rhythm was chaotic in the last two points. He scored 5 points to complete the task.

The score of 18 points is not high, but it’s okay.

As for Granger, who was the last one to appear, this one definitely made Chen Xiao very excited on the sidelines.

Because he saw Granger's chance to win.

Especially when Granger once again hit all the mid-points, Granger scored 14 points in the first three points!

As long as he scores 5 points in the last two points, Granger will be the champion.

Obviously, not only Chen Xiao was excited, but Granger was also excited.

Granger, who has always been calm, actually made only 1 goal in the last two points, with a total score of 12 points and 10 goals, and only scored 1 point.

In the end, Granger missed the championship in an anticlimactic manner.

Seeing Granger who was stunned after the game on the court, Chen Xiao didn't know whether to put down or keep raising his raised hands.

This time, he still defeated younger brother Ray Allen.

However, why is this result so uncomfortable?

Both competitions were unsatisfactory.

And in the end his hope turned out to be...

I looked at Bynum and Howard, the two young cubs next to me...

Chen Xiao felt a little disappointed.

ps: Second update, please vote for me, please vote for me! ! !

ps: The first player in the history of the General Three-Point Shootout Competition to enter the finals with 14 points, Dior’s one, haha.
