Chapter 579： The light of the center, the champion of the 3-point contest!

"SHIT! What are these pitchers doing on the training ground? No wonder the entire league can't find a reliable pitcher!"

With a smile on the surface, MMP in his heart, James wants to scold his mother very much now, and he was already ready to see Zuo Li lose face. He is still easy to surpass as a benchmark.

Who knows that this group of people is pulling the stride one by one, the highest is only 17 points, and the lowest is only 15 points. According to the rules, before the last person comes out, Zuo Li is enough to enter the finals!

What the heck, you're all playing me, aren't you!

It's not...

In fact, this is the true level of three-point pitchers in this era. With a total score of 30 points, not every pitcher can score 20+ points. If you don’t believe me, you can see the results of previous three-point contest champions. .

Back then, Bird, who won the second three-point contest, only used 16 points, and 17 points when he won the three-peat. The Bulls marksman Craig Hodges, who also won the three-peat, scored three points respectively. It's 19, 17, 16.

Of course, Craig Hodges set a record of 19 consecutive three-pointers and 21 three-pointers in a single round in the preliminaries of the 1991 Three-Point Contest, which no one has yet been able to break.

The most irritating is the 2000 three-point contest champion Jeff Hornacek. This dude threw an epic score of 13 points in the final, but won the championship magically, which is also the lowest score in the history of the three-point contest championship.

Zuo Li's score in the final compared with him was purely a high score, and he was the real opponent. Compared with him, Zuo Li was nothing.

And the game doesn't need to be compared with historical records, you just need to be better than your opponent.

Just met a bear in the wild with two people, do you think running is to beat the bear?

So Zuo Li accepted the result of entering the finals very calmly, knowing that some people were not convinced, but, this is the result, not convinced? Then you go to the property management!

"Sometimes this is fate. You can't accept it. The first one to play, he can still enter the final first. You know his strength." Yang Yi felt relieved.

"No, no, there is the defending champion in the end. I'm not sure if it will be the first, but Zuo Li is really good, and his hand is very stable. I look forward to his performance in the final." Yu Jia said.

Now the focus of the audience is on Cook. His performance will determine which three players will be in the final, and Zuo Li will be the first to appear.

It can be seen that Cook is a little nervous. As a role player, he is not familiar with such occasions where the audience is focused. Although he is the defending champion, although the previous score is not high, although Wade and James are giving him Refueling, but his heart is not strong enough, such refueling has become a burden for him.

Bang bang bang bang!

Five shots and five irons! At the first point, it was announced that he missed the final. Although he felt a recovery in the last four points, the pit before him was too big. In the end, he only scored 15 points, tied for the bottom and was eliminated early.

James: "..."

I don't want to talk, I just want to be quiet...

In the two competitions, the people he supported were all lost in the preliminaries, and no one was lucky.

In the end, Pierce with 17 points, Billups and Zuoli with 18 points entered the final.

Zuo Li also became the first No. 5 player to reach the final in the history of the three-point contest.

"Changed! Support Zuo Li!" Duncan was no longer sleepy, and changed his ticket directly.

"Me too!" Xiao Si stretched out his hand.

"I also…"

"Then I might as well..."

"This is the moment of glory for the center, and I'm coming too!"

"Then I'll change it..." Howard gritted his teeth and decided to support Zuo Li. Who made Zuo Li the No. 5 position? If he can really win the championship, it will be considered a glory for the center.

So in a short period of time, Zuo Li's approval rate jumped to the highest level, Kobe was speechless, and these guys were too much. Just now, they didn't like Zuo Li so much, but it changed in a blink of an eye.

But Kobe can not understand the mood of the centers are also normal.

You must know that although the All-Star is a five-position carnival, the insiders are obviously disadvantaged in this performance mode. Not everyone is O'Neal, Howard and Zuo Li. Most of the insiders are unpretentious, or they are small. Those who need the support of guards, like Zuo Li, who can play alone, O'Neal, a natural comedian, and Howard, who are talented monsters, are absolutely rare to be able to participate in the dunk contest.

If Howard hadn't participated in the original slam dunk contest, his popularity would never have been as high as it is now. This is a certainty. Although many stars do not like the All-Star, his publicity effect is undoubtedly the top in this era. How many players are there? Not to mention the benefits here, there are too many.

However, most of them are perimeter players. They are coquettish in dribbling, coquettish in walking, and good in dunking. They can also participate in individual events. Not to mention, none of the three individual events is suitable for a center to participate in.

But the center also wants to play, why are you all in the limelight, who can understand the resentment in their hearts!

Therefore, once a center performs well in a single event, other centers are still very united. For example, Towns, who won the skill competition in later generations, still dragged other centers when he received the award.

Therefore, at this time, Zuo Li once again incarnates the light of the center, carrying the hope of the center.

That's it the finals begin!

The first player to play was Pierce. He had an average feel in the preliminaries, but he clearly found his shooting feeling in the finals. He scored an average of 4 points in each of the five points, and finally scored 20 points. This is also the first 20 points tonight. .

Then came Billups. His hand was worse than in the preliminaries. After a look, he scored 14 points and withdrew from the championship ahead of schedule.

The pressure came to Zuoli's side, he needed more than 20 points, or he could only watch Pierce win the cup.

"Hu~" Zuo Lisong exhaled, deaf to the sound of cheering, he wanted to focus all his attention on the ball.

"Drip~"

Game start!

Zuo Li took the spherical frame and shot in one go!

Brush brush brush, hit four **** in a row!

It's just a pity that the flower ball strikes iron.

The second point, Zuo Li hit the flower ball, but missed two ordinary balls, another four points!

At the top of the arc, Zuoli is still stable, the same four points, the fourth point, missed the first third ball, still four points!

16 points!

When it came to the last point, Zuoli and Pierce scored exactly the same in the first four points!

Last point!

The audience has all stood up and watched Zuo Li throw the first ball!

Scored!

Second ball! Knocked down the front, the left immediately adjusted, and the third ball was hollowed out!

18 points!

The fourth ball, which popped into the frame in everyone's eyes, was a lucky ball with 19 points, which meant that there would be no draw in this game!

The last flower ball, throw in, win the championship, miss the shot, watch the opponent win the championship!

The eyes of fans all over the world are on this ball!

Left Li take the ball and shoot!

Curry has stood up and opened his arms, and left standing and turned around to celebrate!

brush!

Scored!

21 points! ! ! Zuo Li, won the championship! ! !
