One Guard

"Yiyang announced that he will replace Belinelli in the three-point contest, and the dream matchup has come true!"

"Yiyang VS Curry, a game beyond the three-point line!"

"Yiyang goes deep into the tiger's den to fight against the Splash Brothers. There are many things to watch in the three-point contest!"

"The most exciting three-point contest in history? Yiyang joins to save the boring All-Stars!"

Since the 21st century, when the popularity of the All-Star Weekend gradually waned, no player has announced his participation in the Three-Point Contest and caused such a huge sensation in the league.

The Three-Point Contest has neither the fierce physical confrontation nor the violent aesthetics of the Dunk Contest, which makes this game fundamentally more difficult to attract attention than other events.

In recent years, the three-point contest has even become a "hot spot" before the dunk contest. Even with the Splash Brothers participating this year, the popularity still cannot overshadow the subsequent dunk contest.

But Yiyang's joining completely turned the situation around.

Maybe it was someone else who wouldn't care about winning or losing a game at all. Some people also say that Yiyang is a little too impulsive. Because he lost a game, he decided to participate in the three-point contest, which he was not good at. He is already a superstar and does not need to prove himself in the three-point contest.

But it is precisely because he is a superstar that he has a competitive spirit that is different from ordinary people. No superstar is content with the status quo. Even if it is just a defeat, they will find a way to get back.

Regarding this matter, Kobe, who is also very competitive, strongly agrees.

"It's great to be able to join the competition! He doesn't believe that he is worse than any player and dares to challenge! Such qualities are becoming increasingly rare in the league." On Twitter, Kobe publicly expressed Support for Yiyang. Perhaps only these two extremely competitive guys can understand each other's thoughts.

The Mavericks still have three games to play before the All-Star break. Everyone speculates that in preparation for the three-point contest, Yiyang will definitely increase the number of long-range shots from beyond the three-point line.

As a result, the Mavericks' tactics will be disrupted, so their record will definitely not be much better.

But the game between the Mavericks and Yiyang is always very different from what others predict.

On February 7, the Dallas Mavericks played at home against the Portland Trail Blazers, currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference and with a wonderful record of 34 wins and 16 losses.

Before the game started, everyone thought it would be a long-range shooting battle between Yiyang and Lillard.

However, they were only half right. Lillard did take a lot of shots from outside the three-point line today, but Yiyang did not follow suit and fire blindly from outside the three-point line.

In the whole game, Lillard took 10 shots from beyond the three-point line and hit three goals. Although the shooting rate is not high, Lillard should be satisfied. You know, last season he was ahead of Yiyang, but he couldn't even score a point!

Where is Yiyang? He also made a few three-pointers, but the number of shots was far less exaggerated than 10. With 3 of 4 shots, Yiyang performed very efficiently from beyond the three-point line. He made the same number of three-pointers as Lillard while taking less than half of Lillard's three-pointers. Either you don’t shoot, or if you shoot, you will most likely score. This is Yiyang’s three-point rule!

With both sides performing normally, the Mavericks, who are more powerful, must have survived to the end.

In the last two minutes of the game, Lillard's shooting percentage also began to decline due to his decline in physical fitness.

Aldridge took over and hit several turnaround jumpers over Dirk.

But Aldridge was still unable to beat four hands with one punch. In the last three minutes, Yiyang, Dirk and Wade all made achievements. The Dallas Mavericks also relied on their efforts in the last three minutes to win the game by 8 points.

111 to 103, the Mavericks and Yiyang still played steadily, and there were no unreasonable three-point shots.

Although Yiyang really wants to beat Curry, he will never lose his mind because of the three-point contest.

Avoiding a losing streak is what Yiyang must first lead the team to do. The tragic defeat to the Warriors on the road has become an irreversible past.

What Yiyang can do now is lead everyone to win more games to make up for the regrets.

So in the next two days, the Mavericks first succeeded in getting revenge on the Los Angeles Clippers, and then easily defeated the Utah Jazz, who had been going high and low this season. After losing to the Warriors, they immediately won three consecutive games, turning the record into 51 wins and 5 losses. The Mavericks quickly got over the haze of defeat and continued to get back on track.

At this point, the Mavericks' games before the All-Star Weekend are all completed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Halfway through the schedule, the Mavericks had no major injuries and their record was also very good. This weekend, taking the opportunity to relax is the real goal of the Mavericks players.

But for Yiyang, this All-Star Weekend will definitely not be easy. Curry's shooting ability is so abnormal, the whole world has witnessed it. Even facing Yiyang's defense in the last game, Curry shot a terrifying 10-for-16. In the three-point contest, without any defense, Curry's score will definitely be abnormally high!

The challenge Yiyang accepted this year was not easy at all.

Since this year's All-Star Weekend happened to "perfectly" avoid the winter break of the Italian League, Vignelli was unable to be there this year to share one of the few happy moments in the season with Yiyang.

However, this wife who has just been married for less than a year does not feel pity at all. Because she has decided not to renew her contract with Lazio.

"What!? Are you really planning to retire!?" The training hall was empty, and basketballs were scattered around. Yiyang sat on the wooden floor with a surprised expression.

"Yes, after this season, I don't plan to renew my contract! From now on, being by your side every day will no longer be just for you!" Vignali didn't seem to feel any regret. Maybe for the Chinese, Work is important. But for Italians, life is what matters.

"Are you ready to be a full-time wife?" Yiyang smiled. Even if Vignali didn't have to work, their family wouldn't have any financial burden. But the term "full-time wife" doesn't seem to fit Vignelli's age.

"Full-time wife? Of course not! I decided to be a graphic model! I will take some advertising shooting jobs, and also, I can make some investments. After all, I am the daughter of a businessman! Although these jobs are also very busy, But at least we don't have to be separated from each other for a long time!" Vignali's eyes sparkled, full of longing for the future.

"Really? It's pretty good. But...can you really put down the basketball?" Yiyang knew that the difference between Vignali and other girls was her love for basketball.

"So, can you put down the basketball?" Vignali didn't answer, but asked.

Yiyang was speechless. He couldn't answer this question.

"Between two of us, one of us is destined to give up basketball. But I know that that person can only be me. In fact, if I don't play in the professional league, I don't think I have given up basketball completely. I won't give up basketball, but I am willing to Put down your current job."

This time, Vignali's tone was very serious. It seems that this girl has thought about it very clearly.

"Vig..."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back!"

"Hey, I'll be back soon. And after this time, I will never leave again! By the way, how are you preparing for the three-point contest?" The two professional basketball players always talk about basketball. .

Yiyang looked at the basketballs scattered on the ground and the sweat on his jersey, and giggled. "I don't know how to practice three-pointers at all, because I feel like I have to practice every day. It's impossible to practice something like shooting and make a qualitative difference in a few days. I just hope that I don't perform abnormally on the day of the game."

"You have chosen a strong enemy this time, too."

Yes, a very powerful enemy. What he faced could even be said to be an epoch-making three-point shooter. But so what?

"If the opponent is not strong, the game will be boring!"

Yiyang said, walked outside the three-point line, picked up the basketball, and shot it with one hand.

The basketball drew a wonderful arc and entered the net without any sloppiness.

Using three-pointers to decide the outcome was the first time Yiyang had experienced in all his years of playing basketball.

After the boring Masters Game and Rookie Game, the real appetizer for the NBA All-Stars is about to begin, which are three individual events: Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.

Due to the influence of basketball trends in the league in recent seasons, the three-point shot can be said to be a popular style of play in today's basketball world. Every strong team in the league has a special three-point skill, especially the Splash Brothers of the Warriors. They are even more popular this season. It started a three-point revolution. As a result, the three-point contest during the NBA All-Star Weekend has attracted more and more attention from fans. This year, with the addition of Yiyang, the popularity of the three-point contest has even surpassed that of the trivial slam dunk contest.

It just so happens that Yiyang saved the dunk contest from decline a few years ago. As a result, this year, he came to save the three-point contest again.

The NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest was founded in 1986. In the early days of the event, the championship was won by one person for three consecutive years. That's right, he is the league's "pressing king", "Big Bird" Larry Bird. During the game, Bird didn't even take off his training clothes. He went on the court and successfully defeated his opponent. The moment the ball didn't go in, he already pretended to raise his hand to signal to the audience. Of course, there is also that sentence The most classic pretentious saying: Are you here to compete for second place?

I don't know if he was too deeply influenced by Larry Bird, but Curry was also very "forced" before the start of this year's game.

"I came here to win the championship. I know and want to beat me, but that can't be done just by talking about it." Before the game, facing reporters' cameras, Curry looked relaxed and at ease.

This year's three-point contest is regarded as the most dazzling lineup in history, bringing together the league's best shooters, the Warriors' "Splash Brothers" Curry and Klay Thompson, and the Hawks' white shooter Korver. Er, Harden of the Rockets, Irving of the Cavaliers, Redick of the Clippers, Matthews of the Trail Blazers, plus Yiyang who replaced the defending champion Belinelli! This makes this three-point contest a real star!

However, even with so many strong opponents, Curry is very confident. But the abnormally accurate Curry does have confidence. He has made 161 three-pointers in the regular season this season, ranking first in the league with Korver and Matthews. But you have to know that the defense Curry suffered was incomparable to Korver and Matthews. It is not an exaggeration to say that Curry is the most accurate three-pointer in the regular season among all contestants.

On the contrary, Yiyang, who is the most famous among them all, is the least favored. Because compared to others, Yiyang's desire to take shots from beyond the three-point line is extremely low. This is related to the fact that Yiyang was not good at shooting three-pointers before. Although he is accurate now, he still doesn't like shooting.

Therefore, in most people's minds, Yiyang still cannot be equated with the word "shooter".

But he is an MVP, an MVP who has created countless impossible things. Who says that MVP can't create miracles in the three-point contest?

The "Splash Brothers" who are rushing to win the championship, Yiyang who is eager to avenge his shame, Harden who hopes to prove himself, Irving who is very capable, plus Korver, Redick and Matthews are three pure shooters players.

The competition in this year's three-point contest is the most intense ever. Can Yiyang, who is participating in this competition for the first time, break through?

The atmosphere at the scene has become more and more enthusiastic, and the fans' shouts almost broke Yiyang's eardrums.

But a bloody game is the right way to start the All-Star Weekend!

Matthews has already stepped onto the court with the cheers of the fans, and the game officially begins! Sitting on the bench, Yiyang rubbed his hands. Today, he can't lose at all!
