On January 17, NBA officials finally announced the list of contestants in the 2012 NBA all star weekend three-point ball competition.
Heat player James Jones won the 2011 three-point championship, so he automatically won a seat in the three-point contest. Another heat guard, Chalmers, also qualified.
In addition to the heat''s two players, the other four players invited to participate in the three-point competition are Timberwolves forward Kevin love, magic forward Ryan Anderson, nets guard Anthony morrow and the recently popular link, who will replace the injured hawk guard Joe Johnson!
After yesterday''s consideration, link finally decided to accept the league''s invitation. It doesn''t hurt much to play. In addition, participating in the three-point competition is better than being trained by cobila at 4:5 a.m...
link''s participation suddenly makes this all star game more interesting. Like Griffin last season, link has almost become the protagonist of this all star game.
Because from the rookie challenge on the first day, to the three-point contest, and then to the all star game, link participated in all of them.
Getting on time magazine and joining the three-point contest happened to meet, and link swept the whole basketball circle.
But different from the controversy when he was selected into the all star game, this time link participated in the three-point competition, and basically all the media and fans gave positive comments.
For one thing, link''s average 3-point shooting rate of 38.5% this year is really high enough. Second, link''s popularity has been very strong recently, adding a lot of attention to the star dreary three-point competition.
Looking at the full media are related to their own reports, link helplessly turned his lips.
If I had this popularity last year, the best rookie would not have been Griffin.
But last year, link was still envious of Griffin. But this year, he himself has become a popular monster. This season''s leap, really let link feel the dream.
That night, the Grizzlies lost the nuggets by one point at home, ending their second seven game winning streak of the season. But link still satisfied the fans'' appetite with his three-point 6-for-4.
Now, more and more people are looking forward to link''s performance on the all star weekend.
But another player who played well outside the three-point line was completely ignored. And he is trying to make people remember themselves.
At the same time as Grizzlies and nuggets are fighting, Oklahoma City, the No.1 thunder team in the west, is playing with Golden State Warriors.
Before the game started, no one thought the warriors could make any trouble for the thunder. After all, judging from the achievements, the two sides are not at the same level at all.
This season, the thunder is 22 wins and only 7 losses. Kevin Durant averaged 28 points a game, and he became a more mature scoring machine. Russell Westbrook averaged 23.6 points per game, shooting 45.7 percent. Most of the time, the No.0 guard will stay calm. Sergi Ibaka field can send a terrible 3.7 blocks! He made the thunder team''s weak Basketball Defense no longer vulnerable
of course, the thunder team''s biggest harvest this season came from James Harden on the bench!
In the first grade, harden averaged less than 10 points per game, shooting a dismal 40%.
Last season, harden averaged 12.2 points per game, but still not a figure, most players can easily lock him.
This season, harden''s score has soared to 16.8 points, with a field average of 49.1% and a three-point shooting rate of 39%!
James Harden has always been ahead of the best sixth person award. He has become the most famous sixth man in the league this season, not one of them! His combination with Westbrook and Durant is beginning to make people more paranoid.
A defensive player, two scoring machines and a super sixth man... Maybe, this young team can really compete for the championship!?
However, it is such a strong team with terrible record. Today at home, struggling on the edge of a rollover.
It''s all because of one person, Stephen Curry!
"Steven, after catching the ball, shoot directly on the top of Westbrook''s head, any more!? In, in! Three hits! Steven curry, that''s his six three-point goal of the game! It''s crazy. It''s six out of eight three. Steven curry is fighting the thunder on his own
On the stage, Webb''s voice was hoarse. Curry''s been hanging up today. It''s in three hands!
After curry scored the goal, he waved his fist very hard. He is not demonstrating against the thunder players and fans, but expressing his inner reluctance.
It''s been a tough season for Curie.
During the off-season last year, curry underwent ankle surgery to repair a torn ankle ligament, but this did not fundamentally improve his condition. In the first seven games of the season, curry sprained his ankle twice. In January 2012, Curie sprained his right foot. He sprained again in February, just a few days after his return.Due to injuries, curry has not played many games this season, and the data fell sharply. From last season''s average of 18.6 points to only 14.7 points.
He was so depressed that he felt like he had done nothing but recover his ankle since last summer.
It''s about to be the day when the third grade player and the parent team renew their contract in advance, but the Golden State Warriors have not given an offer. With a 45.5% super high three-point shooting rate, curry did not receive an invitation from the League to participate in the three-point contest... These two things let him find that he seems to be abandoned and forgotten!
Therefore, today, curry let out all his frustrations and unhappiness. He wants to prove to the warriors, to the world, that I''m not down, I can fight, I can win!
Unfortunately, Oklahoma thunder hit the muzzle of a gun.
After the game, Ku scored 43.5 points in the final. The thunder team has only lost seven games this season. But they never thought that even the top eight warriors in the West would become the eighth team to defeat them.
At the end of the day, the thunder team missed several key shots, and in the end, the nightmare became a reality. Thunder, the number one in the west, unexpectedly lost to the Golden State warrior who was the third from the bottom in the West!
At the end of the game, the guard with a baby face, who was not favored by all parties, raised his arms to celebrate his victory.
34 points 8 assists, 3 points 8 out of 6, curry with impeccable performance, completed his redemption. For the first time this season, Steven curry has scored 30 points in a single game.
At the end of the game, Steven curry won the favor of journalists again. He can''t remember how long he was forgotten.
"Steven, it''s a great victory. The League didn''t invite you to participate in the three-point competition. Did they not respect you enough? " As soon as the reporter came up, he raised a very sharp question.
Curie gave a bitter smile and did not answer. But that smile is more than a thousand words.
"So in the next game against the Memphis Grizzlies, and against link, who replaces Joe Johnson in the three-point competition, do you think you can continue to perform well?"
"I will try my best to win every game."
Curie''s eyes are firm, although he is a baby face, but with a strong man''s heart.
Link and his teammates don''t know yet that they''ve been targeted ahead of time by their opponents in the next game.
Maybe Stephen will bring himself a big trouble.
