On February 18, Beijing time, the day before the NBA All-Star Game, the All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest were held as scheduled, and the men's and women's three-point contests between Curry and women's basketball player Ionescu were also interspersed with them. In the Skills Challenge, there are teams consisting of Wembanyama, Banchero and Edwards. There's also an All-Star team of Maxey, Trae Young, and Scottie Barnes. Three teammates, Haliburton, Turner and Mathurin, make up the Pacers. In terms of the three-point contest, the first two three-point contest champions Lillard and Towns bear the brunt, in addition to Trae Young, Markkanen, Mitchell, Haliburton, Brunson, Beasley are all listed. In the slam dunk contest, Jaylen Brown will lead the way, with Heat rookie Jaime Harkes Jr., Jacob Toppin of the Knicks, and McClung of the Development League competing for the championship.
The first skill challenge game, the strength of the Pacers squad seems to be the strongest on paper, and it is true in terms of actual performance, after all, it is an NBA All-Star held at home of his own home, of course, you have to be serious. Comparatively speaking, the top team was very paddling, Wembanyama and Banchero pulled their hips in the first two rounds, and the All-Star team Barnes also had outrageous dribbling errors. The Pacers had the shortest first-round trick game, the lowest 58 points in the second round, and the All-Stars and Pacers both scored 74 points, with the Pacers winning the rematch. The champion team went out early, and in the final ultra-long shooting competition, Haliburton hit a three-point shot to help the host win the championship of this All-Star Skills Challenge!
The ensuing three-point contest was star-studded. The first to play in the first round was New York Mayor Trae Young, although the big three-pointers and two green balls could not be shot, but with the excellent play in the bottom left corner at the end, he turned the tide and scored 26 points. Mitchell, who was the second to play, did the opposite, choosing to start from the left, as can be seen from Mitchell's shooting heatmap, his most accurate shot was the top of the arc and the left and right 45-degree angles, and this round he was too slow to heat up in front of him to score only 21 points. The third was the host Haliburton, perhaps just after the Skills Challenge, he came up and got into the groove, three points in a row, but unfortunately the last one to pop up in the bottom right corner, 26 points and Trae Young tied.
Then there was Beasley, who finished with just 20 points due to the long time it took to shoot and a slightly rushed shot at the final point. Last year's three-point king, Towns, began to shoot to the left of the iron, and as his condition adjusted, he hit consecutive oversized shots to score 26 points. Brunson hit seven in a row from the top of the arc, but the bottom corner, which was the most certain, hit the iron again and again, scoring 24 points. Markkanen was on point at the end, but he had no choice but to shoot a small one-pointer and finally scored 25 points. Lillard, who made the finale, grabbed both three-pointers and hit seven in a row at the top of the arc, and finally scored 26 points. Trae Young, Haliburton, Towns, and Lillard all scored 26 points in the first round and tied for the cut.
In the second round, Trae Young scored 15 points, Haliburton 12, Towns 16 points, Lillard 16 points, and Haliburton was eliminated. The last two three-point kings Towns and Lillard, as well as Trae Young, known as Curry Jr., entered the final game, Towns scored 22 points first, Trae Young scored 24 points with the accuracy of the final color ball point, and the most interesting thing was the finale Lillard, who deliberately lost when the last point had tied Trae Young, and shot a two-point color ball in the end! I want to kill in **! Lillard won two consecutive three-point contests! Then Curry and WNBA star Ionescu began the men's and women's three-point contest. When Ionescu came up, he gave Curry intensity, and he started with 8 of 10 shots. Curry missed two 45-degree 3-point green balls after he came on the court, and when many fans felt that he was going to lose, Curry withstood the pressure and fired consecutive shots at the last two-point color ball, turning the tide and scoring a game-high 29 points! Get the men's and women's three-point championship belts!
In the final dunk contest, Jaime Hakes, who appeared first, invited O'Neal, the big shark, to complete a crotch dunk at one time, with an average of 474 points. Jacob Topin invited his brother Obitopin, the former champion of the slam dunk contest, to complete a crotch man sideways dunk, averaging 478 points. Jaylen Brown relied on paying tribute to the judges for the essence of human films, and the little windmill in the air showed his belly, and got 488 points. McClung was the most difficult, and the crotch man released the ball in the air and then dunked the ball, but he didn't expect the score to be lower than Brown, only 48 points. In the next round, Xiao Jaime turned around and dunked insufficiently, Toppin's crotch changed hands and dunked back, to McClung small windmill dunk, although the action is simple but the sense of air and power is very ornamental, Brown called Tatum to throw the ball, and it is to imitate the Green Army's predecessor Di Brown's blindfolded dunk action, and the tribute will be carried out to the end, this time the judges obviously no longer eat this set, only got 476 points, and most of the dunks after that were lackluster. In the end, Brown and McClung entered the finals, and Brown knew that the tribute judges would not buy it again, so he made a slam dunk that was really spicy, on the other hand, McClung scored 50 points by crotching O'Neal's back dunk! Champion of the Slam Dunk Contest for a second consecutive year! Everyone thinks who is more eye-catching during today's All-Star Weekend!
