Chapter 185 Three Point Contest
"Welcome to the NBA All-Star Weekend broadcast exclusively on TBS. I'm your old friend Bob Neal. I will be partnering with you tonight to commentate on tonight's much-anticipated game. It's the Warriors legend, Rick Barry."

At this time, when the players had already started warming up, in the center of the court, Bob Neal and Rick Barry were already holding microphones and chatting to the camera.

Different from later ones, this year's All-Star Weekend and the All-Star Game, the NBA gave the broadcasting rights to TBS and CBS respectively. This method of one woman serving two husbands, although it can indeed get more money, But earning this money always feels very chilling.

"Hello, everyone in front of the TV! I'm Rick Barry." Although Rick Barry has retired, he hasn't gained weight. With a handsome face, as a commentator, he looks a bit inferior.

"Barry, for the long-range shooting competition that will start tonight, I don't know who you are more optimistic about? Will you support your junior West? Or the last champion Bird?" After a brief introduction, Bob Neal began to look for Let's talk about it.

"Who do you support? This is of course a matter of no consideration. Whether it is in terms of strength or my personal relationship, of course I can only support West."

"Oh? Really? It seems that you are very optimistic about your junior?"

"That's natural. First of all, he has the strength to win the championship. Second, he belongs to the Warriors. If I don't support him, who should I support?" While talking, Barry spread his hands and laughed.

Hearing what Barry said, Frank, who was sitting in the first row and chatting with Marisa, curled his lips and said, "And, it's so fake!"

"What did you say?" Marissa next to her asked without hearing Frank's words clearly.

"nothing!"

Frank certainly wouldn't say he was talking about Rick Barry.

In fact, the relationship between Rick Barry and Frank, the Warriors owner, is not good.

First of all, Rick Barry is very stubborn. Although he has made contributions to the Warriors, in a previous exchange with Frank, he was defiant and peddling his old attitude, which annoyed Frank.

In particular, Barry actually wanted to enter the top management of the Warriors and intervene in the affairs of the Warriors. The reason was that he was dissatisfied with some of Frank's policies and wanted to correct Frank's mistakes.

This made Frank feel that there was something wrong with the guy's brain, so he resolutely rejected Barry's request, which also created a serious gap between Barry and the current management of the Warriors, so that Barry intentionally or unintentionally attacked the Warriors and Li Weisi .

Now when he said that he supported Li Weisi, it was just a matter of face, and Frank didn't believe it at all.

As a player, Barry is indeed very good, but a good player does not necessarily make a good team manager, not everyone is Jerry West, it is Larry Bird, more people, it will be Jordan, it would be Isiah Thomas, it would be the father-in-law.

Well, not necessarily, not everyone has the ability to avoid all the correct answers perfectly like Jordan.

Next, the two came to a basketball cart that had already been placed, and began to introduce the rules to the audience.

Since Barry partnered with Bill Russell to commentate the All-Star Weekend in the previous session, Barry is still in charge of the commentary rules this time, and he is very familiar with it and talks endlessly.

"The rules this time are the same as last year. There are still five such cars placed outside the three-point line. Each car has five balls, one point for the normal ball, and two points for the flower ball at the end..."

The rules of the three-point contest at this time are basically the same as those of later generations, without much change. There are a total of 25 basketballs and 30 points. Players must complete all shots within 1 minute, and finally see who has the highest score.

The entire competition is still divided into two rounds, and the top three in the first round can enter the next round.

The first to play was Dale Ellis who became the background board of Li Weisi's 61-point record night.

Although reduced to Li Weisi's background board, Ellis actually has a very high level of three-pointers. This season, both in terms of three-point shooting percentage and number of hits, are second only to Li Weisi, ranking second.

As for Li Weisi, that's a bug, there's no way to compare.

As the whistle sounded, the game officially began. Ellis started shooting from the right corner. His movements were standard, which formed a huge contrast with his strong body.

At the first shooting point, Ellis did not perform well. He only hit 2 ordinary balls and scored 2 points.

But on the second spot, Ellis got better and scored 4 points.

Then the third, fourth, fifth, as Ellis threw the last bouquet, the whistle for the end of the game sounded at the same time.

Ellis ended up with 16 points.

For such an era with a low level of three-pointers at this time, this is already a fairly high score.

Ellis' outstanding performance put tremendous psychological pressure on the players who played later.

Schramf, Angie and Scott, who played later, all performed averagely, scoring 11, 12 and 14 points respectively, and none of them surpassed Ellis.

It was not until Li Weisi, who appeared next, that he broke such a dull start.

When the whistle sounded, Li Weisi quickly squatted down, lifted the ball, took off, and shot after receiving the ball from the left side. The whole process was as fast as his usual shooting in the game.

The basketball got into the basket with a strong backspin, and just the first ball detonated the audience.

The fan group that Adam and the others belonged to had long been cheering for Li Weisi under the leadership of the group leader when the whistle sounded.

It has to be said that these organized and disciplined fans have different combat effectiveness. Although there are only 50 people, because of their uniformity and powerful shouting, they insisted on shouting with the momentum of 500 people.

The 50 people who cheered for Li Weisi were of course not the only ones. The audience watched Li Weisi's performance and gave out deafening shouts, but Li Weisi turned a deaf ear.

In his world at this time, there are only basketball and hoops.

In the end, Li Weisi scored 22 points, which is not very good, at best it can be regarded as a normal performance.

But in the eyes of the audience, the meaning is different.

What is the concept of 22 points?Last year, Larry Bird won the three-point champion with this score. What is it?The power gap is too obvious.

Sure enough, compared with Li Weisi, the other three points are all younger brothers.

However, Bird, who appeared next, told everyone that the end of the game was very early.

Bird didn't take off his warm-up suit at all during the game, and his shooting rhythm was inherently slow, so his game gave people a feeling of leisurely walking and ease.

However, it seems to be very slow, but in fact, his grasp of the time is just right. When he throws the last ball, the game time will end. It can be said that the time calculation is just right.

Looking at the score, 23 points, one point ahead of Li Weisi.

I saw Bird put his hand towards the camera and said, "Oh, it's really not easy. The young people nowadays are really good. I almost lost!"
