Vol 3 Chapter 228: Thrilling promotion, strong defense

After the Rookie Challenge, the first day of the All-Star Game is completely over.
In the first day, both the Masters and the rookie games were a great success. In fact, in recent years, the actual benefits brought by the NBA All-Stars have become worse and worse. And, it has gradually lost its influence. But with continuous reforms, coupled with the attention that the city has built in Los Angeles, this year's All-Star should be quite outstanding.
The next day, Anluo ushered in the second three-point contest in his career.
In fact, he does not intend to participate in this year's three-point contest. It’s actually nice to watch the game in the audience with my family. After all, he couldn't watch this year's All-Star Game with Tang Xiaoru and Fu Yao. But there is a piece in the chewing gum endorsement contract signed before about this event, as long as An Luo wins the three-point contest, there will be an additional $200,000 reward.
This is a lot. His Bumblebee is only more than $20,000. You know, Anluo is the one who earned the least among all-star players this year. Moreover, his child labor contract is two years away! Don't do it for nothing.
Before the three-point contest, a skill challenge has been held. Spencer Dinwiddie finally defeated Markanen, avoiding the embarrassing situation of the big man winning the tournament for two consecutive years.
After Dinwiddie received the trophy of the Skills Challenge and delivered his acceptance speech, the on-site staff began to set up the three-pointer contest. An Luo and several other players who participated in this event all came to the court and began to warm up.
Many of the players who participated in the game were defeated by An Luo last year. For example: Klay Thompson, Eric Gordon and Kyle Lowry. More are some new faces, Kyrie Irving, Devin Booker, Tobias Harris, Wayne Ellington and Bradley Beal. Of course, these players An Luo are very familiar, but in this event, An Luo is the first time to play against. There are also many players who participated in this game last year and did not choose to participate this year. This is not because their three-pointers were incorrect. People like Wesley Matthews and Kemba Walker are still very accurate this season.
Anluo thought it would be easy to win the championship without defending. But what he didn't expect was that he was almost eliminated in the first round.
In the first round, Harris took the lead. He found the form at the first point and only missed a 1-pointer. But the second point was a little anxious and only got 2 points. In the next two points, Harris played well, especially in the special position. He scored three goals and scored 6 points. After the first four points, Harris scored 20 points. It's a pity that the last point was wiped out and no one was scored.
Anlow felt that Harris was not playing well. His tempo was so poorly controlled that he almost fell off a shot once.
Unexpectedly, the players Ellington, Bill, Gordon, and Lowry who followed up on the field were not as good as Harris. They scored 17 points, 15 points, 12 points and 11 points respectively.
An Luo is the third from last to play. When he played, there was a burst of cheers from the whole arena. In Los Angeles, Anluo's popularity is not worse than that of other star players.
Waved in the direction of Tang Xiaoru and Fu Yao, An Luo started to shoot.
The first point he chose was the zero-degree position on the left. But he missed the first ball. But An Luo was not in a hurry. He didn't slow down his speed either, and the rhythm was very fast. The next four goals were not bad. Although he missed a goal, he made it and scored 4 points.
The second point is his special position. But at this point, An Luo is very poor. He conceded two goals as soon as he came up. After losing the second ball, Anluo stabilized a bit. Although the next three were all scored, but because he controlled the time, the next three points were shot very quickly. So that the hit rate is not too high.
In the end, he only scored 19 points. Temporarily ranked second among the six players who played.
Subsequently, Booker of the Suns played. His hand feels hot and his rhythm is well controlled. Cast a field-high 23 points. An Luo squeezed to third place all at once.
Another Thompson did not appear. An Luo started to play drums at this time! After all, Thompson is a player who has won a three-point contest, and in normal games, three-pointers are also very accurate. As long as the opponent's score exceeds 19 points, he will be eliminated!
Although the three-point contest cannot prove anything, An Luo still does not want to be eliminated in the first round.
As the last player to play, Thompson was under pressure. Last year, as the defending champion, he did not make the first round~EbookFREE.me~ which made him very embarrassed. This year, he is bound to get back what he lost.
But his performance is not particularly eye-catching. Before the last point, he only scored 15 points. But at the last point, he shot very beautifully. After hitting the first four ordinary balls, Thompson scored 18 points. As long as the last flower ball is scored, An Luo bid farewell to this All-Star three-point contest.
The audience began to make a huge noise. They created some interference, hoping to help An Luo.
At this time, Thompson also stabilized. The ball in front of him is very fast, so there is still enough time. With the last 5 seconds left, he threw the last flower ball in the most standard posture.
The basketball is spinning in the air, affecting everyone's minds.
"boom!"
The ball missed!
The breath that An Luo had been holding was finally relieved.
As a result, Booker, Harris and Anlo successfully qualified for the second round of the three-point contest, and Thompson was eliminated in the first round for two consecutive years. Like him is Rory from the Raptors.
In the second round, An Luo finally found his rhythm.
Even if Devin Booker scored 26 points, there was no determination to stop An Luo from defending his title. In the first three shooting points, Anluo scored 14 goals and scored 17 points! Although he played a little abnormally at the 45-degree angle on the right, he missed three consecutive shots and only scored 3 points. But in the last special position, he stabilized his emotions and controlled the rhythm.
"Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!"
All five shots. Finally got 30 points!
While successfully defending his title, An Luo also set a record for scoring in the All-Star three-point contest.
