The opening three-pointer in basketball

The All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest is divided into two rounds. In the first round, each player has a chance, and the three highest scorers advance to the second round.

It can be said that there is a lot of coincidence. Today's hand condition will determine whether the player can go further.

The rules for the second round are the same as those for the first round, and the one with the highest score is the champion.

Generally speaking, players in the first round will perform better than those in the second round.

One is to be physically fit in the first round.

Second, the pressure is not that great.

A total of eight players participated in the three-point shooting contest this year.

The first one to appear was Heat player James Jones. Jones is a veteran player of the Heat and one of the Heat's three-point shooters.

Jones' three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 40%.

He is definitely a capable player.

Then, amid the cheers of the fans, Jones began to shoot with the ball, taking the lead in shooting towards the left corner.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Jones had two straight irons at the beginning. I guess Jones himself didn't expect it to be like this. However, he is an old player after all, and he quickly adjusted and scored the third goal and the fourth goal.

"boom!"

The fifth one is a two-point flower ball, which is extremely important, but it is a blacksmith.

At the first shooting point, Jones only scored two points.

With Jones' performance like this, it is basically certain that he will have no hope in the future.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Jones was indeed affected, and then hit the frame again, making the situation worse.

Soon after, Jones finished all his shots and scored only 18 points.

With this score, it is almost impossible to advance to the second round.

Generally speaking, the scores in the first round are relatively high. Only if you score more than 20 points, you have a chance of losing, and if you score more than 22 points, you are safe.

This time the on-site commentator was O'Neal, and he burst out laughing.

"When Bai sees such results, will he find it boring?"

Where there is O'Neal, there are Barkley and Kenny Smith.

Barkley smiled and said: "I think he should be a little disappointed. I just won't get an incredible high score. Just wait."

Kenny Smith nodded, "The biggest highlight of this three-point contest is Bai, and the others are not worth mentioning to us."

Kenny Smith's words were a bit hurtful. Next up were Wright and Gibson, both of whom are naturally good three-point shooters for their respective teams.

However, there are still very significant differences between them and Curry and Bai Yi.

Bai Yi basically shoots against the defender, while Gibson, Jones and others basically shoot open shots.

So it’s still three points, but the difference is still quite big.

The situation of these two people was slightly better than Jones. They were not so nervous and both scored 20 points.

Kenny Smith laughed: "Look, Jones has been eliminated."

There are five big guys behind him. If Jones wants all five of them to score less than 19 points, that would be a dream.

Jones may even be in last place.

Durant comes on next. Adu's three-pointer is not very good, but it can't be said to be bad. He mainly depends on his touch.

And he himself seems to prefer mid-range shots.

Adu's touch was pretty good today. He hit the basketball continuously. In the final statistics, Adu scored 23 points.

Adu was still very satisfied with the score. He turned his head and looked at Bai Yi.

In his heart, his opponent is Bai Yi, and as for other people, he doesn't take it seriously.

The game continues, next are Ray Allen and Pierce.

I don’t know if Ray Allen is older, but he was fine at the beginning, hitting consecutive hits, but in the last position, he made zero out of five goals and only scored 21 points in the end.

Pierce's performance proved that he was able to win the three-point shooting contest last year only because of good luck.

His three-point shot was so unstable that he only scored 18 points in the end, the same as Jones.

Barkley laughed and said: "Pierce looked at Jones so pitifully that he went over to stand with Jones."

Pierce's face was not very good. He was provoking Bai Yi before the game, but now he is so embarrassed.

Then came Curry.

As a person with outstanding three-point shooting talent, Curry has participated in the three-point shooting competition almost every year since entering the league.

Like Durant, his favorite must be mid-range shooting.

Irving's favorite thing must be punching the frame.

And Curry really likes three-pointers. His love for three-pointers can be said to be engraved in his bones.

Curry nodded to Bai Yi and then stepped forward to shoot.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

Curry played very well, scoring goals continuously, but occasionally he would miss the ball and hit the frame.

In the end, he finished shooting three-pointers and scored a total of 25 points.

Curry scored higher than Durant, scoring 25 points in the first round, almost catching up with the first-round scoring record set by Kapono.

Kapono scored 26 points in the first round in 2007 and 24 points in the second round.

Both are records in the three-point contest.

Amid the crazy shouts from the on-site commentary, Durant looked a little gloomy.

He thought he and Bai Yi were the protagonists of today's game, but he didn't expect Curry to perform so well.

Finally it was Bai Yi's turn, and O'Neal walked over, "Bai, how many points do you think you can score?"

Bai Yi thought for a while, "More than twenty-two points."

With twenty-two points, you can be sure that you are in third place and can advance to the second round.

Bai Yi doesn't ask for much, as long as he can advance to the second round now.

O'Neal was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Yi to have such low requirements for himself. "A lot of fans want to see you break records?"

Bai Yi smiled and said: "That is not an easy task. I will try my best, but I will not put pressure on myself."

O'Neal returned to the commentary table, "Fat man, do you think Bai can break the record today?"

Barkley shook his head, "I don't think he is in good condition today. It may be because he was too tired from yesterday's rookie game, or maybe he is not excited. I don't think he can break the record."

"How about we make a bet? If Bai breaks the record, you go up and dance for three minutes. If Bai can't break the record, I dance for three minutes."

"Isn't that an advantage for you? You like dancing in front of big guys the most."

"Then I will donate 100,000 dollars."

Barkley rolled his eyes at O'Neal, "Okay, if Bai can break the record, I will also donate 100,000 dollars."

Buckley has a net worth of tens of millions, but to him, $100,000 is nothing.

And at such an important time, his behavior of donating money is not only interesting, but also very popular.

Kenny Smith burst out laughing and said he would also donate $100,000.

O'Neal immediately shouted to Bai Yi, "Bai, please break the record. These two people are waiting to pay 200,000 dollars for charity."

Many fans started shouting, and they all shouted "Bai Yi" to break the record.

Obviously everyone wants to have some fun and hopes that Bai Yi can bring you something exciting and interesting.
