From today on is the king

Chapter 673. 672. Adam Silva's Divine Operation

"..."

"..."

Peja and Korver were silent, listening to the fans chanting "Three-points-King", don't put too much pressure on them!

too exaggerated!

Korver was convinced by Liu Mang, he had come to give it a try, but he didn't expect his boss to be a monster.

Peja never expected that Liu Mang really broke the historical record once again!

In his opinion, this was originally impossible. He was lucky to equal Liu Mang's record last year!

The three-point contest seems to be an uncontested shooting, as if it is similar to training, but in fact it is far from it!

It is true that some reporters broke the news that many top pitchers scored [-] to [-] three-pointers in a row in practice, and Liu Mang was exposed, but real professional athletes understand what is going on. To use a word in the entertainment industry to describe it is - posing.

Of course, it’s not a lie. It’s true that I’ve made [-], [-] or even more shots in a row, but I’ve made full preparations, and even shot dozens or hundreds of shots at the shooting point that I’m going to shoot.

But the three-point contest is different, although five points are fixed, but that is five points!It is a trouble to change one point after five votes, and the most important thing is not this, but the psychological factor!

Three-point contest, it's a game!It's completely different from training shots. Many players get stage fright when they compete.

In the future, Curry has participated in the three-point contest since his rookie season. He participated in five times before winning the first championship. He only surpassed 26 points once, and the 34 points he scored after the total score became 27 points broke the historical record.

From the perspective of the fans at this stage, Liu Mang and Peja's previous 26 points is already a miracle, and the previous historical record of 25 points has been maintained for so long and no one can break it.

Who knew Liu Mang would be more ferocious every time he came!
Theoretically speaking, taking into account the impact of changing shooting positions and the impact of the fans on site, under perfect conditions, a top pitcher like Peja can shoot the best performance in the three-point contest, probably with a shooting percentage of 90.00%. It is normal to score 21 or 23 goals and get 26 four points. It is a miracle to get [-] points.

A pitcher like Liu Mang, who is close to the top, can score about 20 goals in the three-point contest, and scoring just over 20 points is a perfect performance.

Generally speaking, the biggest impact is the psychological impact. When switching from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket, it is very likely that the first goal will not be scored, and then the heart will be affected, and the subsequent shots will be affected. For example, Korver’s performance in the preliminaries.

But Liu Mang was not affected by this aspect at all, and scored 28 points quickly, as if he was really training.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second player in the final, Peja Stojakovic..."

When the host called out Peja's name, the scene was booed again, which was in stark contrast to when Liu Mang came on stage.

It turned out to be the "hero" of the Staples Center. Before this All-Star Weekend, no one expected it. Even the Lakers fans who came to watch the game didn't expect it at first. The current situation is nothing more than an annoying player meeting an even more annoying player. The less hated player doesn't seem so annoying anymore.

Originally, wherever Liu Mang went, enemies were everywhere. It may be because the magician is very friendly to Liu Mang today, and Kobe, an old enemy, is not around. Instead, Liu Mang became a "tool" used by the Lakers to retaliate against the Kings.

Peja worked very hard to adjust his emotions. He is confident that his three-point shooting is not worse than Liu Mang. This has been proved in the past three years from the regular season and playoffs. He is the most accurate three-pointer among active players except Ray Allen.

Amidst the boos, Peja tried his best to maintain stability, and missed all of the first two shots.

Peja took only 18 seconds for the first two shots, which can be said to be on par with Liu Mang!
Seeing that Peja went up under such a lot of pressure and scored ten goals in a row!Liu Mang's chrysanthemum tightened, feeling bad.

The fans at the scene couldn't sit still anymore. Could it be that Liu Mang's 28 points just now will be overtaken by this hateful Kings player?

The boos from the fans got louder.

Fortunately, it turns out that men's sixth sense has always been unreliable. Peja reached the top arc. This is the only position in his shooting heat map that is not red but the average yellow position. He missed consecutive three-pointers from the beginning.

Directly missed three balls, Peja has lost the chance to compete for the championship, all the remaining balls were thrown in, which is quite an extra 27 points.

Logically speaking, both Liu Mang and the fans who hated Peja, the king's player, should be happy, but the scene suddenly became quiet... not following the routine!
Why did he pretend to be about to kill Liu Mang just now, and then suddenly connect three?

Peja was also in a hurry. He originally wanted to miss none of the first fifteen shots in the same direction of view, so as to have a chance to surpass or tie Liu Mang's score, but he missed the first goal in the top arc. The best situation is like Liu Wei.

But the point of the top arc is the most inaccurate point for Peja. His shooting hotspots, from outside the three-point line at the two bottom corners to the large area outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, are all red hot spots that are much higher than the league average.

"Uh..." Peja grabbed the fourth ball and smashed it on the floor angrily. He felt even more incredible at this moment. Wouldn't that bastard be affected if he didn't have any fear?Why did he feel that his emotions were about to collapse?
But after venting a bit, and after he could announce that he had lost, Peja's mentality improved a lot. The last two balls on the top arc were a normal ball and a white ball.

Scored 15 points on three shots, which is already very good.

However, although Peja scored the last two goals in the last top arc, he has been eliminated!
However, Peja did not give up, he could get as many points as he could!Anyway, losing doesn't look that bad!

Peja made all the fourth shots, and Peja also made the first four shots at the last shot, but did not make the last flower ball.

With 25 points, Peja finished with the third-best score in history.

When it was Korver's turn, there were no surprises. When Korver went up to get the ball, he was smiling wryly. Obviously, he didn't say that he had no advantage over Peja, and he had no advantage over Liu Mang in a regular state.

With 22 points, Korver worked hard and calmly shot 22 points. In many years, he scored 22 points in the final. In the 18 three-point contests so far, in two-thirds of the years, 22 points can easily win the championship, but who told Korver to meet Liu Mang and Peja?

……

"Ladies and gentlemen," an NBA business executive and vice-president Adam Silva with a shrill voice came to the center of the court and held a microphone to present the award. "I am honored to witness such a great game. The performances of two historical three-pointers are outstanding, but there is always a winner in the game. I announce that Liumang from the Eagles won the 28 Los Angeles All-Star Three-Point Contest with the best score of 2004 points in history!"

After Korver's performance, the three-point contest champion was born!

Liu Mang once again broke the single-round scoring record in the history of the three-point contest with his outstanding performance of 28 points, and won the three-point contest championship for the second time in his career!
The award presenter of this three-point contest is the first, second, and third NBA three-point contest, and the Celtics force king Larry Bird who has won the championship for three consecutive years!

That year, after the three-point contest was held for three times, Larry Bird won the championship for three consecutive years. There were 8 players in the first session, 9 players in the second session, and only 4 players left in the third session. Many stars complained that the trophy should be given to Larry Bird.

Bi Wang also knew that he had committed public anger, so he did not participate in the fourth session. After he did not participate, the number of participants in the 1989 three-point contest skyrocketed again by 9 people, and the competition became fierce, so this event was not cancelled.

As the three-point line has been in the NBA for longer and more, and there are more and more three-point masters, this project has become a classic project of the All-Star Weekend and has been retained. And because the physical talent required for shooting three-pointers is not so strict, it seems to be more classic and have longer vitality than the slam dunk contest. The slam dunk contest was canceled for a year in 1998, and the three-point contest has been going strong.

Peja and Liu Mang, the two guys who created and tied the historical scoring record in the three-point contest in the past two years. Although both Liu Mang and Peja have a bad relationship with the Lakers, as the organizer, the priority is not personal grievances, but ratings!
Making money is king!
In order to be more interesting, the Lakers invited the king of the three-point contest, and Larry Bird, the only player in history to win the three-point contest for three consecutive years, was invited as a guest of honor.

Although the relationship between Larry Bird and the Lakers is not very good, they are both one of the two most glorious teams in NBA history. The Lakers and Celtics just hate each other deeply, but because of the historical glory of the two teams, they all look down on the third team.

So the Lakers held the All-Star Weekend, and Larry Bird came here to save face.

The beautiful young lady came up with the championship trophy with a professional smile.

Liu Mang saw that Wang Bi came to the side and was about to present the award, he was a little excited, should he pretend to be a bad boy with Wang Bi!Liu Mang even thought about what to say.

When Liu Mang took only 19 seconds to make Peja's first two shots, he felt a chill behind his back, because Vujacic's star card had already expired, but he didn't expect Peja to be such a magical person, and he missed three consecutive shots. Liu Mang's mentality was about to explode, but he ignited the fuse. After the fuse burned out, he found it was a squib!

This is a good opportunity to tease Peja and play hard in front of the king.

Liu Mang was ready. Seeing Liu Mang's flickering eyes, Bird felt something bad. In other places, Bird could pretend to be sideways, but facing Liu Mang in the three-point contest seemed to be at a great disadvantage!

In the past three years, Liu Mang has won two of the three-point competition championships, but he still didn't participate in the one he didn't win!And participated in two times, broke the historical record each time!
Just when Liu Mang was about to move, and Bird was anxiously preparing to accept the trophy from Adam Silva to interview Liu Mang, Adam Silva picked up the trophy from the concierge lady and handed it directly to Liu Mang, as if he didn't see Bird...

There was an uproar...

Both Liu Mang and Bird were stunned, what kind of operation is this?
