  Chapter 961 961. O'Neill's successor'

   Watching the three Trail Blazers huddle together to celebrate, as if they have already won the championship...

   Ginobili, Elliott, and Harmon looked at each other, and they all felt the emotion of wanting to curse, and then they all smiled wryly.

   How to fight this?

  But the pressure was gone all of a sudden, the opponent's result, losing is not ashamed.

   Not to mention, the pressure is gone, the three performed extremely well, and ended the game with a time of 26.8 seconds, which can be ranked fourth in history, but the opposite 21.8 seconds...

  In the end, the Trail Blazers came back against the wind, beat the Spurs in the final, and won the Shooting Star Challenge for two consecutive times!

   Nash and Ginobili's teams all came forward to congratulate.

   Manu Ginobili was really convinced of his loss, it was too much!

  Nash and Liu Xiu have a good relationship, and he is the last one. He will congratulate whoever wins the championship.

  No one from the Bulls stepped forward. Hinrich regarded Liu Xiu as his lifelong enemy, and Pippen couldn't understand Liu Xiu... To be precise, Pippen couldn't understand any other dynasty. He even quarreled with O'Neal at the beginning.

  After the awards ceremony, the triathlon will start. The first ones will be the 4 contestants of the Skills Challenge, Deron, Paul, Roy, and Conley.

   are all players who entered the NBA in the last 3 years.

  The Shooting Star Challenge got off to a good start, and the atmosphere on the scene picked up. The 4 new-generation talents tried their best to perform well.

  Paul also complained a bit, a shooting star challenge, what are they doing so hilariously, adding pressure to their game.

   Isn't everyone in the middle of the law? It has to be that good.

  The preliminaries were quite intense. Conley, who played for the first time, completed the preliminaries with a time of 36.9 seconds.

   Deron, who played immediately after, scored 35.8 seconds, and Roy, who played third, scored 37.5 seconds, ranking third, but not eliminated.

  If the last Paul to play has a lower record than all three of them, he will enter the playoffs.

  According to the latest rules of the Skills Challenge, if the result difference is less than 1 second, it will be regarded as an 'error', and it will be regarded as the same result.

  Conley and Roy are very nervous, the game, who wants to lose?

  Paul's pace of the game was not fast, but he finished the game smoothly with few mistakes. With a time of 29.9 seconds, he eliminated Conley and Roy and joined Deron in the final!

  Paul looked at his results and felt that he was sure of winning. The little fat man is not his opponent!

   Then, Paul suffered Ginobili-style madness...

   Deron, who took the lead in the final, finished the game with the second-best time in history in 25.5 seconds. Except for a three-point shot, he made no other mistakes.

  Paul did not give up and worked hard, but he was too impulsive and made more mistakes. He finished the final with a time of 35.8 seconds.

  Deron won the championship of this Skills Challenge!

  …

  The 2005 Shuangjiao showdown, the fans were very happy to watch.

   Especially Deron's performance, the fans seem to have seen Liu Xiu's performance last year.

   It's a pity that Deron's face is... not ugly, but compared with Liu Xiu, fans feel that it is hard to describe.

  Then there is the figure and body shape. Liu Xiu has been fighting every year, and his body shape is basically perfect to make people drool. The chubby classmate is just the warden of the early season version...

   Then the three-point contest began.

  Hamilton, Nash, Peja, Daniel Gibson, Kapono, and Nowitzki, who replaced Kobe, came to the field after hugging Kobe.

  Liu Xiu teased Kobe: "You have already scored 75 points on him, and you still say that he is your fan. Is it possible that he is paralyzing you and making you carelessly underestimate the enemy when you play against him?"

   Kobe responded: "You scored 76 points on him, and he treats you to dinner every time he meets you."

   "...That's right, I got 95 points for you, and you still invite me to dinner every time we meet."

   "Don't even think about coming to my house this summer!"

   "Uh, I'm going back to China to compete in the Olympics this summer, so I really can't go to your house."

  Kobe was so choked that he choked, and after recovering, he said angrily, "Your house is in BJ, right? Then I'll go to your house!"

  Liu Xiu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, it's settled. I'll look for an arena to rent when I go back, and then teach me high backs."

   "..."

  Why does Kobe feel as if he has fallen into the pit again?

  The three-point contest on the court has already begun. Nowitzki participated in the three-point contest for the sixth time. The championship dream fell through again, and he stopped the preliminaries for the third consecutive year.

  The overall performance is also very average. In the preliminaries, only one scored 20 points, and Kapono scored 20 points.

  Hamilton 18 points, Nowitzki 17 points, Gibson 19 points, Peja 15 points.

   Nash is the biggest highlight of the preliminaries - 9 points!

   When Nash finished the first 4 points and only scored 3 points, the crowd surnamed Jordan stood up and cheered.

  But Nash scored 6 points on all 5 shots at the last point...Jordan laughed wildly and turned into an embarrassing scene, which became popular...

  In the final, Kapono continued to dominate. Without pressure, he scored 25 points, beating Hamilton with 12 points and Gibson with 15 points.

  …

  The three-point contest was not as exciting as the previous two games. The fans felt a little boring. Kapono had no opponent. They really wanted to see the warden come out to sanction this guy...

   However, this also eased the fans' over-excited emotions.

   When the host called out the names of the 4 participating players in the dunk contest, the fans on the scene broke out into the most enthusiastic cheers again.

   Liu Xiu and Carter looked at each other and saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

  Guy regretted signing up a bit. For this battle, 40,000 people...

  On Howard's side, he had no pressure and felt that he had a big killer move. He rushed to the court and showed off his dance, which caused the fans to scream and laugh.

  With this wave of operations, Howard's popularity has soared.

   O'Neal missed the All-Star, and the fans have felt a lot lonely in the All-Star in the past two years. Howard successfully "inherited" part of O'Neal's popularity by relying on tricks.

  But there are also some O'Neal fans who hate Howard very much...

   Julius Owen, Karl Malone, Magic Johnson, Dominique Wilkins, John Dawkins and other five-member jury were seated.

   There are also 95 professional fans selected by the NBA through various channels and came to the other half.

  The host introduced the brand-new final rules. In the preliminaries, five judges will continue to score. The two dunks with the highest total points in the preliminaries will enter the finals.

  But it was different in the finals. There were still two dunks in the finals, but they were not scored separately.

The judges no longer have the power to decide who gets the slam dunk king. They can only choose to vote or not to vote, and their votes only account for 1 vote. Each of the 95 professional fans has one vote. They will choose the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. The Dunk King!

   It also stipulates that there is no longer a time limit for the action before the dunk, but each dunk can only try one pre-action, as long as you do it, it doesn’t matter whether the dunk is successful or not, even if you don’t dunk, it is considered a dunk.
