: Two hundred and ninety: met an opponent

Compared with last year's offseason, Rachel has matured a lot in terms of talking and asking questions.
Unlike most female reporters, Rachel is by no means an empty vase. After all, she was once an excellent basketball player herself.
Because of this trait, Rachel's reputation has skyrocketed this season. After becoming famous during the offseason for his interview with Link, Rachel began to attract fans.
Nowadays, it has a big reputation in the circle of reporters. Therefore, not only the fans, but also many players are eager to cooperate with her.
Durant is undoubtedly one of them. He has been following this sweet-looking female reporter for a long time. I heard that Rui is coming to interview the starting forward of the Western Conference Stars today, Durant is still very much looking forward to it.
As everyone knows, Rachel ran directly to Link...
The interview was not long, but Link and Rachel had a very pleasant chat. The two are friends, so they are not far apart and the conversation is very smooth.
After the interview, Link found that Durant had left the training hall. I don't know where that black belly guy went to curse himself secretly...
The interview with Rachel was just a small episode. For the rest of the day, in addition to attending the press conference and fans Jialianhua, Link was practicing three-pointers and trying to keep his touch.
During training, Link made all the shots and scored 30 points. But in training, it is too normal to do this kind of thing, and Curry can do more. As a result, in the three-point contest, Curry's highest score was only 27 points, and it was still under the rule of 34 points in the future.
Among all players participating in the three-point contest, only Link practiced the most. Like Kobe said, Link is also very aggressive, but he is quietly aggressive.
Time has finally come to the evening, and today’s highlight, NBA individual events have finally begun.
The first thing that started was the Shooting Star Contest. The focus of this competition was not as high as the following three items, mainly because this competition was a team composed of NBA stars, WNBA stars and famous people or ordinary people. The entertainment nature is greater than the competitive nature.
After the shooting star contest, it was a skill challenge. This year's skill challenge is still full of defenders, but Link knows that in a short time, more and more comprehensive big players will also appear in this event.
In the end, Tony Parker, the "French Sports Car", won the skill challenge.
After this, Link actually felt nervous. Because the three-point contest he has prepared for a long time is about to begin!
"This year, the lineup of the three-point contest is still very strong. The most high-profile player is undoubtedly Link. He is the first time he has participated in the three-point contest, and he is also the least experienced of all the contestants. What kind of performance I can show in the game, I look forward to it very much."
Before the game started, Kenny Smith and Barkley brought the topic to Link. This shows that his current popularity is really different from before.
"No matter what Link's performance is, I bet he can surpass Michael Jordan, hahahahaha!" Barkley smiled smirkly, and he would inevitably take Jordan for the annual All-Star three-point contest.
In the All-Star three-point contest, Jordan scored only 5 points in 25 shots. This record has not been broken so far, and it is still the lowest scoring record in the three-point contest.
He set an unbreakable record with just one shot. Jordan is worthy of being the of basketball.
"Indeed, Link’s shots have always been very stable, and there is rarely a sudden bad feel. This is related to his hard training. It is said that Link spends a lot of time every day on maintaining the feel. Therefore, every game, as long as He can stand up if the team needs it."
"That's right, even if it's a pass, he can pass the ball directly into the basket! As expected, he is a man who made a 2 point pass by mistake."
"Hahahahahaha!"
If Link heard that he was being teased again, he would probably have the heart to die.
After stepping into the court, Link felt a sense of pressure. So many fans, so many top shooters, such a short time... Shooting in this environment is really different from shooting on the training ground, and even different from shooting in regular games.
It's no wonder that every year, there are always several shooters falling into the sand in the three-point contest.
When everyone warmed up, the reporters around Link were the most. He has attracted much attention, and everyone expects Link to win the championship in one fell swoop. Invisibly, this also increased Link's pressure.
Link's strategy for himself is very simple, that is, don't worry. Especially when it comes to a flower ball, you must not make a hasty shot. Sometimes the shot is too fast, not necessarily a good thing. As long as there are no special circumstances, shooting time is generally sufficient.
When warming up, Link found that the defending champion James Jones had a terrifyingly high shooting percentage, and the Nets' tumbling sound never stopped.
James Jones, a player with a mediocre career resume, is relying on a three-pointer to go north and south in the league.
It seems that today, Jones will become a very strong opponent.
After a short warm-up, the game officially began. Durant was also watching the game from the sidelines. The league originally invited him to participate in the three-point contest this year, but he refused.
You must know that Link will replace Joe Johnson in the competition, Durant will definitely not refuse! The three-point contest is not interesting, but it is very interesting to compete with Link for the championship!
If the beauty reporter can't beat you, you can always win by three points!
It's a pity that Durant can only sit in the audience now, praying that Link's opponents will perform better.
At the beginning of the preliminaries, the first appearance was Heat point guard Chalmers. He scored 18 points as soon as he came up, which is a very high head.
Then came Anthony Morrow, who scored only 14 points after a round, basically he could not escape the fate of being eliminated.
Third, it's finally Link's turn!
The moment he played, the cheers in the arena reached its zenith. He is definitely the most popular basketball player in Memphis, not one of them.
"Link is here, I just hope he will not break Michael Jordan's 5-point record."
Link's heart was beating wildly. He stood beside the basketball, with his hands on his chest, ready to start holding the ball.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that this kind of entertainment event would actually put so much pressure on the players.
But Link worked hard to adjust his breathing. If he was nervous, he would definitely not be allowed to shoot.
"Beep~~~" The electronic buzzer sounded, and Link got the first ball and threw it quickly.
Everyone was ready to cheer, but Link's first shot actually hit the iron!
"Fuck!" Link cursed secretly, and then threw the second ball, still iron!
"Is this challenging Jordan!?" Barkley yelled, and Jordan said he wanted to hit someone.
Link realized that his shot was too hasty, so the third ball began to adjust. As a result, Link scored all three goals in the first position, plus the flower ball to get 4 points!
At 45°, Link continued to hit consecutively! The first four were all hollow into the net, but the last flower ball failed to make it, and it was still 4 points.
At the top of the arc, this is Link's favorite position. He directly shot all of them, 7 points!
"Awesome~EbookFREE.me~ Link has already scored 15 points from three positions!" Kenny Smith knew that Link would not disappoint!
But as the shooting time became less and less, Link did not play so well in the last two positions and was still too eager. In the end, he scored 21 points and ended the preliminaries.
Link shook his head in annoyance after he finished the shot. If the last two points were stabilized, he would definitely get a higher score. It seemed that he was not particularly satisfied with his performance.
But all the players and fans who watched the game stood up and cheered for Link, because 21 points is the highest score so far today! Those who can score more than 20 points are amazing!
"Link raised the passing line again! He scored 21 points in one fell swoop, and Anthony Moreau will definitely be eliminated!"
After Link, there were two big guys, Ryan Anderson and Love, who scored 17 points each and 18 points each, and neither scored 20 points. It seems that Link seems to have no opponents this year!
Finally, the defending champion James Jones played. People are not optimistic about Jones, after all, he has played too little time this season, and God knows how he is now.
As a result, Jones, who was considered to have the least chance, went up for a smashing meal. He surpassed Link's 21 points and scored 22 points, which is only 3 goals away from the all-time record!
"James Jones, a great three-point shooter! His shots are like perfect shots, and he can always find a place in the basket! We thought Link, who scored 21 points, was the well-deserved first, but the defending champion was obviously I don't want to give up my title. With 22 points, James Jones advanced to the next level with the best result in the first round!"
Link gritted his teeth as he watched Jones celebrating the victory. There is an opponent who can shoot 20+ points, the championship is not easy to win.
