, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
At the same time, "Why doesn't Lian Dao want to participate in the individual competition?" This topic has also caused heated discussions on the Internet.
Some people say that Lian Dao is afraid of getting hurt, some say that Lian Dao is afraid of not being able to find his 10-year status, and some say that Lian Dao is afraid of losing...Anyway, there are various speculations.
And Lian Dao also gave a positive reply on Twitter yesterday.
"It's okay for me to participate in the individual competition, unless someone can reach the record I created, I expect stronger opponents to stimulate my desire to fight!"
Lian Dao's reply can be said to be not crazy, there is a sense of despicableness of seeking defeat alone.
But the fans surprisingly didn't refute it, because Lian Dao did have this ability madness.
Whether it is the 28-point record of three-pointers, or the classic dunks full of creativity and imagination in the slam dunk contest, these have left a deep impression on countless fans.
This also caused fans to compare the players participating in these two individual competitions with Lian Dao every time.
But each time the result was disappointment.
So in this three-point contest and slam dunk contest, the fans hope that there will be a player who can stand up to Lian Dao, thus forcing Lian Dao to participate in the individual competition.
However, this time the fans may be disappointed again.
There are a total of six players participating in the three-point contest this year, two of them are Heat players, one is the last three-point contest champion James Jones, and the other is their starting point guard Mario Chammer s.
Lian Dao felt very incomprehensible for the alliance to invite Mario Chalmers instead of Danny Green.
Danny Green averaged 5.2 three-pointers per game, hit 2.2 three-pointers, and his hit rate was as high as 42.9%; while Chalmers averaged 4.1 three-pointers per game, hit 1.6 three-pointers, and his hit rate was only 38.8% %.
No matter how you look at it, Danny Green is more suitable than Chalmers to participate in the three-point contest, but the league has not issued an invitation to Danny Green.
Even before, when the league invited Lian Dao to the three-point contest, Lian Dao recommended Danny Green when he refused, but the league still didn't choose to consider it, which made Lian Dao very puzzled.
In addition to the two players of the Heat, there is Kevin Durant who replaced Joe Johnson. He is also the biggest star in the three-point contest.
Also shooting guard Anthony Morrow of the New Jersey Nets, Magic forward Ryan Anderson and Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.
Mario Chalmers took the lead in the preliminaries and scored 18 points.
Kevin Love followed closely behind. He didn't start well, but he got better and better. He made 4 shots at the last point and scored 18 points.
Anthony Morrow was very accurate in the three-pointer in the regular season, but he couldn't play it in the three-point contest. He failed to hit a flower ball and only had 14 points in the end.
Kevin Durant, who scored 5 points on the first point, hit the last flower ball and scored 20 points.
Ryan Anderson played at home and scored 5 points in the first point. He failed to make the last ball and scored 17 points.
Ryan Anderson and Anthony Morrow are basically declared out.
Dwight Howard, who was watching the game from the sidelines, had a very regretful expression.
Defending champion James Jones was the last to make his debut. He shot too hastily at the beginning and only scored 3 points in the first point, but then he got better and better, and finally scored 22 points, ranking first in the preliminaries.
Two players who scored 18 points PK, Kevin Love was even better and advanced to the final with Durant and Jones.
Durant, who played first in the finals, scored only 16 points.
Kevin Love felt good at the beginning, but then missed consecutively, and finally only had 16 points.
Now the opportunity is also given to the last defending champion James Jones, as long as he scores more than 16 points, he can complete the defense.

However, it is a pity that James Jones did not withstand the pressure and played a little abnormally. It is also possible that he was too excited, which caused extreme joy to turn sorrow, and finally only scored 12 points.
The first place in the first round will be eliminated first.
Kevin Love played first. He was not in very good form at the beginning. He did not perform very well in the first two points and only scored 6 points.
However, he adjusted his state in time, and his performance in the last two points was very eye-catching. Except for the missed flower ball, all ordinary **** were hit, and finally scored 17 points.
Durant was under a lot of pressure. His performance in the first two points was similar to that of Love, and he only scored 6 points.
But at the middle point, he played better than Love and scored 4 points. Unfortunately, the last two points were not satisfactory, and he only scored 14 points in the end, giving up the championship.
Kevin Love finally defeated Durant to win the championship and became the new "three-point king" of the league. The "three-point king" of big players is rare in NBA history.
But obviously, Kevin Love's 17-point victory did not satisfy the fans.
Although Kevin Love's 17 points are not considered low in the history of the NBA's three-pointer contest, after all, Jeff Hornacek only scored 13 points in 2000 to get the three-pointer of that year The three-point king of the contest.
Of course, 17 points is not high. After all, this score is far from Lian Dao's record of 28 points, let alone forcing Lian Dao to challenge.
It seems that Lian Dao will still not be seen in the next All-Star three-point contest.
The award ceremony was carried out amidst the disappointment and regret of the fans, which made Kevin Love, the new "three-pointer king", very embarrassed.
Kevin Love: Is it my fault that co-author Lian Dao didn't participate in the three-point contest?
The final personal project "Slam Dunk Contest" quietly started when the fans were discussing "Who can force Lian Dao to participate in the three-point contest?"
In addition to the shrinking season, in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, none of the four participating players were top-notch names, and those real stars all rejected the league's invitation.
In fact, just like what Lian Dao thought before, in this cruel schedule, all the big-name players simply don't have the energy to participate in the slam dunk contest with a high chance of injury.
This also caused a serious decline in the excitement of this dunk contest.
And in the three rounds of dunks, the dunks of several players were not innovative at all, they were all processed and modified on the basis of the classic dunks of the league before.
Some players don't even have a transformation, just a 1:1 copy, the key copy is not good-looking.
Of course, this group of people also shouted a slogan, which was nicknamed: Salute to the predecessors!
Although the NBA cannot lack the passing of the torch, what is even more indispensable in competitive sports is that a new generation beats the old!
The four participants in this year's slam dunk contest are: Rockets' Zeiss Budinger, Pacers' Paul George, Timberwolves' rookie Derrick Williams, and the Utah Jazz player who replaced Inman Shumpert. : Jeremy Evans.
None of these four players are particularly big names at the moment.
Even in later generations, among the four players, "Pickled Pepper" Paul George is the most famous.
The rules of this slam dunk contest have been changed. There are no longer judges, and there is no longer a first-round elimination. Instead, there will be a total of three rounds of slam dunks. Afterwards, fans will vote and the one with the highest score will win the slam dunk contest.
Therefore, in this competition, the four players did not hide their clumsiness at the beginning, and showed their good ideas one after another.
In the first dunk, Budinger was the first to play, and his first action was not bad, jumping over the head of the assister, the first dunk was successful.
Evans made his second appearance. He hung on the rim for a long time after dunking, but Inguodala on the sidelines expressed dissatisfaction and even held up the scoreboard with 0 points.
However, this scoring is invalid, because there are no judges today, and the fans will decide the final champion.
George's first move was to fly over the duo for a dunk ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but teammate Hibbert was too high and he failed twice in a row. The third time finally, after Hibbert bowed his head slightly, George pressed his shoulder, made a successful leap, and dunked successfully.
Derek Williams was the last to appear, and it was still a show on a motorcycle.
His action is to leap over the motorcycle and then swing his arm to dunk, but it took three attempts before he succeeded.
Generally speaking, this round of dunks lacks gimmicks, is not difficult enough, is not creative, and is very bad to watch!
Apart from applauding twice for George's dunk, Lian Dao showed no expression or movement at all for the remaining three dunks.
Not only Lian Dao, but also the fans at the scene were not very satisfied, the sparse applause is the best proof.
One of the problems in this year's slam dunk contest is the serious homogeneity. Although it shows a tribute to the predecessors, it is okay to pay tribute, so don't lower the difficulty.
