The Fifth Point Guard

The finals of the three-point shooting contest are about to begin.

Barkley analyzed: "There is no doubt that the final mainly depends on whether Korver can pose a threat to Peja. Judging from the preliminaries, he scored 19 points and it seems that he has not performed at his best."

Smith asked: "Don't you think Jason may become a dark horse? I heard that STO has a high opinion of him."

Barkley put his hand on his chin, thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I am still more optimistic about Peja and Korver. Jason Kapono's 18 points is probably an extraordinary performance. If Shen comes to participate in the third In a split-ball game, maybe I'll beat him, but Jason? Come on."

Unlike Barkley, STO has full confidence in his teammate Jason Kapono.

If STO was confident in its three-pointers before, then Kapono's stability allowed STO to see unlimited possibilities and higher pursuits.

Have you ever seen a player complete 1,000 three-point shots in an hour and only miss 3?

Although in sports battles, STO is confident that it will lead Kapono in three-point shooting, but when it comes to open fixed-point three-pointers alone, STO really does not have the confidence to surpass Kapono's stability.

What Barkley thought was the upper limit was actually Kapono's lower limit.

Buckley thought Kapono was on the first floor, but he was actually on the fifth floor.

Kapono, who placed third in the preliminaries, was the first to appear in the finals.

Before Kapono came on the court, Shentong, who had been sitting on the sidelines, took the initiative to hug his teammates.

"Brother, relax your mind, just like you usually practice, believe in yourself, don't talk about other things, but for three-pointers, no one here is more accurate than you, no one is better than you!"

Kapono nodded and said: "Thank you, boss, I will try my best to show myself."

Taking a long breath, Kapono shook his body and walked onto the court.

The signal for the start of the game sounded.

Kapono started shooting from the corner.

The first ball was a hollow hit.

The second ball was a hollow hit.

The third ball, continue to be hollow!

Kapono seemed to be hooked and hit consecutive shots. After shooting the first three points, he didn't miss a single shot!

The audience went crazy!

Every time a goal was scored, there was a mixture of exclamations and cheers.

Barkley in the live broadcast room was also crazy.

"Oh my gosh, what happened? This guy didn't miss a single shot. It's incredible!"

Smith also said: "He is like God possessing him!"

After throwing the fourth point at 45° from the top of the arc on the left, Kapono still made a perfect shot.

Shentong could no longer sit still and stood up to cheer for Kapono.

Every time he scored a goal, Shentong suddenly raised his right hand, leading the fans in the audience to cheer for Kapono.

At the last point, until the third ball, Kapono still hit the target!

The DJ's voice roared and trembled.

"27 points!"

Perhaps because he was too excited, Kapono failed to hold on to the end.

The penultimate ordinary ball and the last fancy ball both made a circle in the basket and missed, causing a cry of regret from the scene.

Although he failed to last until the end, his 27 points almost sealed the championship of this event.

After Kapono finished his shot, Shentong rushed forward and had a passionate chest-to-chest with his teammates.

James and Wagner also stepped forward to congratulate Kapono.

Smith said: "Although the game is not over yet, Kapono's 27 points have broken the 24 points scored by Mark Price in 1994 and STO the year before last, creating the highest score in this game. Charles, do you have any questions about this? Anything to say?”

No one responded.

"Charles?"

There's no one left in Barkley's seat.

"Strange, where is my tea?"

Smith looked down and saw a huge butt dangling under the table, and Buckley's entire body was inside the hole in the table.

"Charles, isn't your tea on the table?"

Barkley then got out from under the table and sat back down.

"I said, Charles, do you have anything to say?"

"What did you say? I have nothing to say."

"Charles, you have nothing to say about Kapono's record-setting 27 points?"

"Ouch." Buckley suddenly held his stomach, "I'm going to WC and I'll be back soon."

Smith: "."

Perhaps influenced by Kapono's near-perfect performance, Korver performed poorly in his second appearance, scoring only 15 points.

In the end, it’s up to Peja.

However, he seemed to be affected. He was under a lot of psychological pressure and did not perform at his normal level. He only scored 16 points.

In this way, Kapono undisputedly won the championship of this three-point shooting competition with an absolutely high score of 27 points!

Peja Stojanovic failed to defend her three-point title.

After the three-point contest championship award ceremony ended, Barkley immediately became active again.

"Today's highlight has finally arrived! I think there are many fans watching today's All-Star Weekend game just to wait for the following slam dunk contest."

Smith echoed: "Yes, this year's dunk contest will definitely be the most exciting dunk contest since the event was held. I have been looking forward to it since the list of participants was announced."

Barkley said: "I personally think that the excitement of this year's slam dunk contest may exceed that of the main competition. After all, these contestants are recognized as solid dunk experts."

Following the three-point shooting contest is today's finale, the slam dunk contest.

The main reason why Barkley and Smith are looking forward to this dunk contest is that this year's entry list is really shocking.

Take a look at this entry list.

The 1997 Slam Dunk Contest champion and the host of this year’s All-Star venue, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Vince Carter, nicknamed "UFO" and the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest champion, currently plays for the Toronto Raptors.

The 2003 Slam Dunk Contest champion, China's Rookie King who won the championship with Kidd, Martin and others last year, now plays for STO of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And everyone is very much looking forward to participating in the slam dunk contest again and the absolutely explosive scoring leader, Tracy McGrady of the Orlando Magic.

Kobe, Carter, STO, Tracy McGrady, this list alone is enough to make people excited.

As if they had made an appointment, the four stars with bombs tied to their legs all chose to participate in this dunk contest.

In fact, when Shentong won the championship last year, Carter said that Shentong's performance aroused his desire to dunk. If Shentong participated, he would consider participating in this competition again.

The addition of Kobe and Tracy McGrady makes this competition even more exciting and challenging.

Barkley, nicknamed "Flying Pig", even said excitedly before the game: "Seeing this list, I can't help but want to put on a jersey and compete."

Smith said: "What do you want to compete with the four of them? Belly or butt?"

Barkley: "."
