Chapter 504: King of shooting

This is the first day of the All-Star Weekend, and these are just cutscenes.
It was only on February 15th that the main show began slowly.
At eight o'clock in the morning, All-Star members went to the training hall for public training, and then interviewed by reporters.
As a voter, Li Liang received extra attention. After the training, many reporters gathered around him to ask questions.
Li Liang answered some questions very officially until he met a reporter from China CCTV.
The reporter from this hometown came to ask questions and interviews. Of course, Li Liang had to answer well.
He said he could sit down and do a simple interview.
Although playing in the United States, Li Liang knows that the Chinese fans far away from the ocean are his greatest support and assistance.
Without Chinese fans voting online, he could not easily get the All-Star ticket.
It's easy, it's really easy. If it weren't for the weighting of all-star voting fan votes, Li Liang would definitely create an all-star voting record.
But the first question the reporter asked was a bit embarrassing for Li Liang. He asked Li Liang how to change from an NCAA rarely played substitute to a strong MVP contender today.
What is your problem, how did I become? I made a little effort to make progress!
Could it be that I told you that I opened it?
The quality of Chinese journalists still needs to be improved, and there is still a gap compared with the Western ones.
However, Li Liang replied seriously: "There are many reasons why I can't play in college. It's related to my style of play, the strength of the team, and the level of effort at the time. It's hard to say about talent. Maybe I It was when I was 22 years old that I suddenly found my talent, and then, through unremitting efforts, I made a little bit of today."
Li Liang is facing too many such problems.
Since he was selected to enter the NBA in the second round, some people questioned his strength, and then some people questioned why he did not show such strength in college.
Li Liang has made all kinds of remarks, including telling the truth, saying that I am hanging up, but no one believes.
Later, Li Liang discovered, no matter what you say, as long as people want to question, he will definitely question.
People are always willing to believe what they believe.
So he just fooled. Whatever I do, I can win the game and improve my strength. I believe it or not.
You don’t believe me, I don’t play, I don’t play?
After asking the first question, the reporter started asking the second question again.
"In the All-Star game, the most exciting thing is the confrontation between you and James. You are also fighting for MVP this season. What kind of wonderful matchup do you think you will have in the All-Star game."
What is the problem with this TM?
What kind of wonderful matchups will you know tomorrow?
Where do I know what a wonderful matchup is.
And it also pulls James out to make the topic difficult, how to say?
Li Liang thought, do I want Black James or Black James?
Li Liang's eyes turned and he got the answer, saying: "James is a respectable and outstanding player. He has a lot of places to learn from me. It is a very interesting thing to fight against him. However, I am most looking forward to the All-Star Game. Yes, I still want to compete with him in the slam dunk contest. Really, if James is willing to participate in the slam dunk contest, I must also participate, and I will beat him in the slam dunk contest to win the championship."
What Li Liang said earlier was quite satisfactory, respectful and learning, and he started to be improper afterwards.
What, dunk contest?
You are a three-point contest winner, an Asian player who often dunks in the game, is going to participate in the dunk contest?
What a joke.
The reporter was a little silly when he heard it, with a strange smile on his face, and he obviously didn't believe his ears.
To be honest, Li Liang really wants to participate in the slam dunk contest, the ratings of the slam dunk contest will definitely skyrocket.
"Brother, are you really telling me?" The little reporter couldn't help but secretly ask Li Liang, for fear that Li Liang was joking.
"It's true, why is it not true, write the report truthfully, and translate it into English. Also let the Chinese media have a bit of original voice, OK, don't pick up other people's things."
Li Liang can also be regarded as a breaking news statement to the Chinese media.
The main job of the domestic basketball media is to eat leftovers, because there is no way to reach first-hand sources, so they can only forward and translate the news and opinions of foreign media reporters, and then add their own additives to domestic fans.
No way, language, culture and distance barriers have led to the domestic sports media can only eat second-hand, third-hand meals, the local professional league is not enough professional development is not enough, it can only be the result.
"Well, there is another problem. Everyone knows that you graduated from the University of Kentucky, and the University of Kentucky has really many people playing in the NBA, including last year's No. 1 pick. If you are chosen as a teammate in the NBA, you will choose who?"
This question is a bit horizontal and very topical.
Li Liangdao: "That must be Anthony Davis. We have played together. I know his level very well and very strong. But I think he has not exerted all of his strength and energy in the team where he is now. He has a lot of room for improvement."
Li Liang also dared to say, are you not afraid of Xiao Hua giving you a fine?
What is this, recruiting players illegally during the All-Star game?
But to say that Li Liang is recruiting players, that's really too much. He doesn't have any interest in recruiting players, but recruiting teams is a bit interested.
He has a two-year contract with the Clippers, and it may not necessarily be the Clippers next year, recruiting a fart player.
Later, the reporter asked a few nutritional questions, but Li Liang answered it very seriously, and ended the training interview.
...
After the interview, the NBA also conducted the so-called "Development League All-Star Game". Seriously, the Development League All-Star players still cannot enter the NBA. Who needs to watch?
This NBDL all-star, if you change the prefix, it is the NBA junk game, which means the same.
Therefore, the tickets are given away for free, don't need money, and are willing to see a picture of fun.
However, Li Liang still went to watch because he wanted to accompany Zhu Shu, and Zhu Shu's men were selected to the All-Star Development League.
After the NBDL All-Star Game, there are other NBA DreamWorks events, Oscar Robertson special program, NBA team open day, and the new chairman Xiao Hua opened the pre-all-star conference.
Starting from tonight's three-point contest, dunk contest, etc., the All-Star Game is officially kicked off.
At 7:30 in the evening, at the New Orleans Stadium, "Challenge Night" is about to open.
Speaking of the venue of this competition, New Orleans Stadium, of course, Li Liang is very familiar with, is the venue where the 2012 NCAA Finals will be held.
It can be seen that the American sports industry has spent a lot of effort to develop the southern market.
New Orleans hosted the NCAA Final-four in 2012 and the Super Bowl in 2013. The 2013 All-Star Game was also intended for New Orleans, but was eventually snatched by a team’s city. Then the league promised to host New Orleans in 2014.
For the All-Star this time, the stadium was renovated, but it is not much new, because Louisiana has no money.
It is impossible to build a new stadium. You can only use the old stadium for painting.
Li Liang is no longer a spectator tonight. He did not participate in the three-point contest and chose to show his glory in the shooting star game.
There are a total of four participating teams, two each in the east and the west. Each team consists of one active NBA player, one retired NBA player and one WNBA player.
The content of the game is very simple. There are four shooting points on the field, and one shot at each point is considered a pass. The last shot is considered completed.
In the end, the time is shorter than who.
Is there a more boring game than this?
Isn’t this a play upgrade on the field?
Four more people are required to play, which is more like a "great gala" type of activity than an entertainment performance.
Because there are women and retired players, it will be more interesting and will not make people passionate.
In order to make a gimmick this time, the NBA also engaged a father and son together.
One of the NBA active players on the West Force is Stephen Curry, and one retired is Curry's father Dale Curry.
On the east side there is a team of Hardaway father and son, Tim Hardaway and his son Tim Hardaway Jr.
The so-called father and son soldiers, Li Liang stood on the sidelines and looked at the old but strong Karl Malone, who wanted to shout from the heart:
"son."
That's right, I am willing to be the father of all of you.
In this way, there are three pairs of father and son in this shooting star game.
The game will start soon, the first to play is the Curry father and son team.
The first point is the 45-degree point on the right. The simplest point is the responsibility of the female teammate.
The female player on the team with Curry is Becky Harmon, who played in New York and San Antonio.
The first point can be said to be very simple. Generally people who have played basketball come over and the probability of hitting a shot is very high.
If this is not possible, then shame will be lost.
Harmon easily hit the basket.
Then the second point is the top of the arc, a little bit, but Dell Curry also made a shot and does not need a second.
The third point is 45 degrees to the left, which is a bit more difficult.
Curry shot four times before hitting this three-pointer.
It can be seen that in the game field, no matter what game, there will be a little tension affecting the feeling.
The last point is the midfield line, which is actually the most important point.
If this time is short, then basically win.
Otherwise, even if the first few points are hit with one hit, it takes too much time on the fourth point, and everything will be ruined.
The midfielder shot is really not that simple.
Curry father and son plus Harmon took turns to try, until 1 minute 05 seconds, took a dozen, before Harmon hit this midfield shot!
Li Liang was watching from the sidelines, and his thoughts were still very exciting. No matter how fast ahead, these were crucial in the end.
And it's not necessarily the person with the strongest three-pointer.
1 minute 05 seconds, this result is not particularly ideal.
After the end, Curry shook his head gently, saw Li Liang ready to appear on the sidelines, and thought that this was over.
Curry also participated in this three-point contest, he hopes to beat Li Liang in the three-point contest, how can I know that Li Liang will not participate this time.
Even if the NBA officially invites Li Liang to participate, Li Liang will not participate. I am not interested this year. My goal is the dunk contest.
When can I participate in the slam dunk contest, and then participate in two games together.
As for shooting stars, do you always have to participate in a project?
In addition to Karl Malone, the team with Li Liang also has Skyler Dickins, a female player who once appeared in the swimsuit version of Sports Illustrated!
But Li Liang was not very interested in her, because Zhu Shu watched the ball on the sidelines.
Li Liang is serious.
At the first point, Skyler Dickins also hit easily. At the middle of the second point, Malone was a bit out of luck.
The first shot missed, the second shot still missed, until the third shot, Malone did not hit the distance.
From this point of view, there is no talented shooter, and his ability to shoot can never reach 90 points.
At that time, he relied on a lot of training to maintain muscle memory, so that he had an accurate mid-range shot.
Once retired, without a lot of training support, the hit rate fell quickly.
As soon as I saw the feeling of the hand, I knew that it was not as soft as a pitcher like Dell Curry.
However, it's good to be able to enter. At the point of Li Liang, Li Liang didn't score the first goal.
He debugged his hand and hit the second goal!
The last point left, the midfield line.
Skyler Dickins first attempt.
In fact, women players have an advantage in midfield shots, that is, their push shots are very suitable for this kind of ultra long distance shots.
This is the so-called 38th style. Anyway, the three-point line is pushed, and the midfielder is also pushed. There is no difference.
Skyler Dickins missed, not to mention the second Malone, the thrown ball did not touch the basket.
Li Liang made the third shot and didn't make it.
However, his shot is obviously different from others, he is not pushed out by hand at all, but shot in the normal shooting posture!
Li Liang took this time to practice in the system.
Some of the developments in the personal training center are time to practice the ball, and you can practice while sleeping.
If you don't want to use the anger value, just take the ball and practice shooting, especially this kind of ultra long distance shooting.
Li Liang can shoot in the midfield with a normal shooting posture, and the body still does not lean forward, and even wants to lean back a bit?
Of course, this is not possible. If you can shoot backwards in midfield, your arms are not meant to be used as a catapult.
In the second round, the first two shots were still unsuccessful, but Li Liang found the front sight and feeling in the third shot.
Shot in midfield, the ball passed through, hit!
In 34 seconds, it took Li Liang only 34 seconds to complete the game!
In this way, the Li Liang team eliminated the Curry team and entered the final of the shooting star game.
After a successful hit, Li Liang and Curry father and son embraced and shook hands.
Curry said: "Sow, don't participate in the three-point contest."
Li Liang replied: "Give young people a chance."
How old are you and give young people a chance?
Next is the East Force, the first to appear on the Hardaway team.
The female player on Hardaway is Dale Down, a tall blond white female player.
Anyway, he is tall and taller than Hardaway’s father and son.
It is not the female player who is in charge of the first point, but Hardaway.
After all, Tim Hardaway did not know the middle distance when he played. Now he has retired for many years, and the middle distance is even more inaccurate.
Old Hardaway easily hit the first point, and mid-range point Dunn also easily hit, and then made a 3-pointer, Hardaway Jr. also made a hit!
Yesterday's matchup with him in the rookie game was exciting. He didn't inherit his father's super change, but he had a good shooting ability.
But the first three of your shots will not be used any more quickly or accurately. You can’t make it in the fourth midfield.
The Hardaway team spent eight seconds in the first three points and ended up stuck at the midfield point.
It has been shooting for more than 1 minute, and it was not until 1 minute and 30 seconds that Hardaway Jr. made a shot.
This is over and basically eliminated, unless the Bosh team is worse.
But the Bosh team was the defending champion of the shooting star last year in the All-Star Game.
The Bosh team consists of Bosh, Wilkins and Sven Cash.
Similarly, the old Dunk King Wilkins is responsible for the first point, and Cash is responsible for the second mid-range point.
Wilkins is about the same as Karl Malone, and he is also a hard-working pitcher.
He is famous for dunking, but his mid-range and short-range jumpers are very accurate, just one to a long distance.
Needless to say, after retiring, the shooting feel must have plummeted.
In the first three points, he got stuck on Bosh's three points and made 4 shots before hitting.
But at the midline point, neither Cash nor Wilkins made a shot. Bosh picked up the ball and shot directly in the midfield!
His shot is the same as Li Liang's. It is not a very normal shooting posture, either a push or a throw, or an ordinary shooter type.
The result hit!
A hit, 35 seconds, only 1 second slower than Li Liang team.
Of course, they also successfully eliminated Hardaway and met with Li Liang in the final.
Li Liang must have felt a trace of pressure.
Only then did he realize that this shooting star is still a bit interesting.
Not as boring as expected.
Because it took longer, the Bosh team took the lead.
The result of the Bosh team was exactly the same as the previous round.
Wilkins and Cash both hit successfully, and Bosh got stuck at the third point.
It took 20 seconds to shoot a three-pointer after shooting five.
In the midfield, Bosh hit again!
The whole New Orleans arena is boiling.
Worthy of being "the king of shooting stars", ostrich king Chris Bosh, who stands high and looks far away, has no one in this midfield shot.
Li Liang prides himself on shooting very well in the midfield, but he doesn't dare to say he can hit it.
However, he was confident enough to stand up with Malone and Skyler Dickins, and now the pressure came to them.
Skyler Dickins successfully scored the first goal, Malone adjusted the feeling this time, but also hit a hit.
Li Liang shot 45 degrees on the left. After the ball was thrown, Li Liang ran towards the midfield without looking back.
If this goal is not scored, he will be shameless and lose a lot of hair, and he will have to run back and recast.
But was he not sure he would do this?
The ball hits firmly!
In the first three balls, they only took 9 seconds, which can be said to be very fast.
Midfielder Dickins has already started to try to make a shot and missed the first goal.
Malone missed the second shot.
Li Liang's third, slightly missed.
The time has run for 20 seconds. UU Reading www.uukannshu.com
After 20 seconds, Dickins and Malone's attempts still missed.
At this time, all depends on Li Liang.
Li Liang took a deep breath with the ball. He was not in a hurry, but paused a little near the center line, turned the ball around in his hand, and adjusted his gait.
Then shot again!
This ball Li Liang has full confidence!
With a bang, the ball really hit!
When the ball was shot, Li Liang had already raised his arms high, and he knew that he would definitely enter!
The final result was 28 seconds, exactly the same as Li Liang’s jersey number.
The whole New Orleans arena is full of joy, this is the real shooting star.
Even the king of shooting.
