Chapter 392 Luck and Strength

The three-point contest started in 1986 and has since become an indispensable event for the All-Star weekend. In the first three-point contest, a total of 8 people participated. Bulls scored a record 25 points three years ago in the first round, but in the final, Larry Bird scored 22 points, winning the championship, while Hoggs only scored 12 points in the final.

Hodges' 25-point record was broken by Wu Huang in his rookie season three years ago. At that time, the new record set by the Holy Lord was 29 points, which was also considered by the American media to be a record that could not be broken again.

The Holy Master has not finished his third season yet, but he has broken a lot of NBA records. It can be said that before he knew it, his name is everywhere on the NBA honor list.

In this three-point competition, the media believed that Wu Huang's main opponents were Love of the Timberwolves and Anderson of the Magic. These two are not only three-pointers in actual combat, but also very suitable for players in this kind of shooting game. Although the star taste is not as good as the previous session, Wu Huang's challenge this time seems to be higher than last season.

Love has exploded last season and has maintained an upward momentum this season, averaging 25 points and 7 rebounds per game. With his outstanding performance, Love has been selected into the All-Star substitute. "I feel that I have gained the respect of my coach, and it feels great," Love said before the game.

The fourth position of the NBA has reached a period of renewal. As Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki and others gradually grow old, Love's strong rise makes it a hot topic to be the league's number one power forward. Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley had a fierce debate for this. O'Neal supported Blake Griffin, while Barkley believed that Love was the best.

A reporter asked Love's opinion on this question, and Love, who warmed up on the court, gave his answer: In terms of my game performance, I think I am now the best power forward in the league."

"Why do I think they are not similar?" Wu Huang thought to himself, he felt that these two guys had their own flaws, and they had not been baptized by the division finals or above, and no one was qualified to say that they were the strongest. Playing well in the regular season would at most prove that they had some strength, but this kind of game with insufficient pressure could not tell the true quality of a player.

Emperor Wu felt that although Gasol and David Si were both older generations, in terms of their current strength, they could still suppress these two guys in the playoffs.

Before the three-point competition began, six players warmed up on the court, but what made Love and others more embarrassed was that several reporters who were qualified to enter the on-site interview only asked them a few questions in a symbolic way, and then they turned around and ran to Wu Huang in a hurry.

Love was the most angry. Before he even finished speaking, he had just breathed a sigh of relief when the reporter in front of him immediately said, "Thank you for your answer, I won't disturb you from warming up." Then he turned around and ran to interview Emperor Wu.

"I only answered three questions, but the requirement was 'rewarded more than 100 bamboos in my room', otherwise I would not accept interviews." Even though Emperor Wu said these words in a joking manner, he was still very annoying. A bamboo is worth one US dollar on his website. Although the reporter is in a high-paying industry, no one is bored to reward a billionaire. So among the five or six people present, only two female reporters were qualified, and several male reporters were all swept.

The two female reporters obviously belong to the ranks of half fans. At this moment, they feel that their rewards are worth it, but the questions they ask are still more popular.

Emperor Wu did not resist the interview because he was not warming up at all. He fulfilled what he said before and did not prepare anything before the game this year.

I still remember that last year, in order to defend the title, he started preparing a month before the game, but the game felt average.

This year, he has not practiced at all, and now he is too lazy to even warm up. He is ready to do it!

"My suggestion is to practice your hand shape well." Wu Huang couldn't run before every three-point competition and taught fans how to practice shooting. "There is no standard or not in the so-called shooting hand shape. Everyone does not need to learn the so-called standard posture, but it must be handsome enough. This is very important!" Wu Huang was very direct when answering the last question. He explained, "The shooting posture is ugly, and whether the shooting is accurate or not is another matter. First of all, you won't attract girls to scream!"

The two female reporters were a little embarrassed when they heard this. The leader was a little bit ugly today.

Wu Huang continued: "If you can't attract girls, you will lose confidence the more you shoot. So before practicing shooting, first find a big enough mirror and do shooting movements to find a comfortable and handsome shooting hand shape. Once you find it, find a place where no one can practice secretly, and slowly adjust it according to your hit rate. The ultimate goal is to find a balance between ‘cool’ and ‘comfortable’, so that you can lay a good foundation for your shooting."

Wu Huang's answer is a bit inappropriate, but he does not teach others randomly. What he hates the most is those rigid coaches who only follow the script when teaching technical movements. This may not make big mistakes, but it will make it difficult for real talented players to release their potential. They may have been suppressed by those rigid and rigid training since childhood, which is disastrous for a talented player.

In his mind, if a more open and free teaching method is adopted, even if ten thousand ordinary players with qualifications will become more ordinary, as long as one genius stands out, it will be far more cost-effective than letting a genius be covered up and ten thousand ordinary players will play.

This is the reality. The value of a genius is far higher than that of 10,000 ordinary players, which is the correct value in the field of sports. Therefore, the training method of a basketball coach should be completely aimed at discovering geniuses. Otherwise, even if you train ten thousand CBA players, it is far less valuable than training an NBA All-Star player.

During the warm-up before the start of the game, Wu Huang was like an irrelevant idle person, taking a leisurely walk. Other contestants were all warming up. In this comparison, Wu Huang was particularly worthy of beating, especially when he kept responding to the cheers and boos of the fans at the scene, this kind of virtue that was sure to win was even more annoying.

Emperor Wu is not a popular person in Orlando. Every time the Knicks competed with the Magic, he would challenge Howard before the game. Today he could get some cheers here and laugh. In the end, I don’t know if even the staff on the scene couldn’t stand it and he was so arrogant. The game soon announced the start.

"I'm the first to play?" Emperor Wu was stunned after receiving the notice, thinking that the order was reversed? "Mad! I'm the protagonist, don't the protagonists appear in the end?" Emperor Wu expressed his doubts.

"That's right, you are the first to play!" The staff who passed the message was very sure that most of the people who organized the game today were home players of the Magic team, so most of the people were very upset when they saw Wu Huang.

Emperor Wu nodded, but felt that the Magic Team was afraid of being beaten by him. At this time, he took the opportunity to take revenge immediately. It was a completely **silent act.

Love, Joe Johnson and others couldn't help but wonder in their hearts as Emperor Wu still walked towards the field with leisurely steps and expressions...

This bastard is so angry, but he is indeed capable.

At this moment, Wu Huang's leisure is naturally a manifestation of confidence. When your opponent is a player hailed as the strongest shooting player in history, how can you not be nervous? Moreover, Wu Huang has already won two consecutive championships, and no matter how you look at it, it will have to be a three-game rhythm. They really don't have the confidence to defeat him.

Wu Huang's posture today is a psychological battle, and the shooting competition is actually the level of psychological quality. These players who are qualified to participate are all divine pitchers who are almost every time they try in their daily training, so he has to make good use of his advantages to increase his chances of winning, and his biggest advantage is his fame and psychology.

If he can put enough pressure on his opponent before the game, he will easily win without a fight like last year and win again. He will not resist this method of victory at all.

Bird did a very good job back then. Big Bird's shooting results during the three consecutive championships seemed like that, but his opponents were even worse than him. It was obvious that these people were under too much pressure to shoot in front of Bird and did not exert all their strength at all. So Big Bird easily won the three consecutive championships. This is the pressure of a peerless expert standing behind you.

Wu Huang, who first appeared, chose a normal shooting order from right to left. Generally, right-handed players prefer to shoot on the right side. Although his left hand occasionally gets fucked, he will never use his unreliable left hand in such a game.

The 2012 three-point competition officially started after a whistle-like sound effect sounded...

Wu Huang performed well at the first shooting point. He was relaxed and did not aim at the basket at all. Just as his ultra-long shooting performance before the game always achieved excellent performance, a body in a truly relaxed state can fully utilize his monster shooting talent.

From the scientific field, the so-called shooting feel is actually a muscle memory that is far beyond ordinary people. Just as some people can remember it through their eyes, there are a very small number of people in the field of sports that can master technical movements faster than others, and their bodies can remember the contents in training more easily.

The first point of Wu Huang was completed in less than 7 seconds. What's even more amazing is that he threw all the basketballs into the basket. At this time, he could only hear the sound of Wu Huang's basketball hitting the net, and the friction between the sneakers and the floor when he moved.

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal today explained the game with Reggie Miller, and Barkley flattered first: "Look! I dare say that this shooting speed can only be completed by Hugo. He is the only guy who thinks the shooting time of the three-point competition is too long, and everyone else thinks 60 seconds is too short."

O'Neal saw Wu Huang hit the entire game in the second point and said immediately: "I have been teammates with him, so I know this kind of game is very suitable for him. According to the existing three-point competition rules, 25 balls were shot in 60 seconds. Considering that the time a player scored 5 balls from one position and then ran to the next position is almost every 2 seconds on average. This time is really too short, so hugo can keep it fast and efficient."

Reggie Miller is the most authoritative of the three people in shooting. He explained: "I don't think this time is not enough. In fact, from receiving the ball to shooting at most 1 second. In the past few years, Roy's 8-second finale, Fisher's 4-second finale, and there are many similar finale in less than one second, including the goal of Iguodala's finale this season. He didn't shoot fast at that time, but he also completed the attack in one second." Then Miller learned the way of complaining between the two and added, "Of course, this is just a normal shooting process from getting the ball to taking action, but according to my observation over the years, the time in the three-point competition is mainly wasted on the player's swaying the ball and taking action (less than one second), and then taking action (still less than one second)...."

Just after Miller vividly described it, Emperor Wu had already scored the third point, and his score was still 100% hit!

At this time, many people could no longer calm down. Wu Huang was obviously going to break the record. But the current record was created by himself, and it was still a 29-point record that could hardly be broken again. Should he perform a truly perfect performance?

Emperor Wu still didn't have much emotion at this time, and 29 points were almost never surpassed, so he was under little pressure this time, even if he lost, it was nothing. Don't think he was really satisfied with the triple crown. He said so before that because he was embarrassed to participate in the competition again after winning the triple crown, but what if he didn't win the triple crown?

This is the key point. Emperor Wu thought that he would "lose two and lose two more, and then lose two more." If this continues, wouldn't he be able to get ten or eight "three-point kings" in the future? Although the "three-point king" is not awesome trophy, accumulating a small amount is also a great honor, enough to write it in his honor book.

That's why Emperor Wu chose to throw a few tricks like this, and he was just trying to kill him!

It’s a pity that his mentality has made him in a better state, and he is out of control when he gets involved.

Love and others were already stunned. Wu Huang didn't miss a single goal at the fourth point. Now this result is enough to ensure that he enters the finals. The key is that the shooting time has only passed 34 seconds. Does Wu Huang want to score 35 goals at this speed?

"Master Master shot too fast today, right?" In the stadium, the fans in front of the TV all had the same expression. Wu Huang's shooting method could easily make people have evil thoughts.

Wu Huang said that he shot fast on the field and had time to shoot slowly off the field. So he accelerated again at the fifth point and forced himself to hypnotize himself "shot one quickly"!

The Holy Master started to bury himself from the fourth shooting point because he had already had a little idea of ​​breaking the record at this time, but once his psychological changes occurred, he knew that he might not be able to maintain his previous state, so he became more and more aggressive and used his cheating left hand to continue to kill himself at the last point.

"I want to be dying, but I just can't die. I'm so angry!" This is the purpose of Emperor Wu, but he would not think about it carefully, but devote himself to this state of dying, forcing himself to stay in the previous four shooting points.

At this moment, Emperor Wu could feel his mind was in chaos again, as if he was split into two or three souls fighting for initiative, while his body was still shooting, which was a strange state of separation between his mind and his body.

When the last flower ball fell into the net hollow, Wu Huang's strange state was awakened by a sudden huge cheer!

"Damn, how did I shoot the last point just now?" After Wu Huang scored the last goal, he showed a expressionless face after landing, without even being excited.

Emperor Wu had not come back to his senses after landing. He felt that when he was casting the fifth point, he really felt like he had lost his soul. He had no idea what he was doing. He just felt that his head was messy, like a nightmare.

The 20,000 fans who witnessed the miracle on the spot collectively released a thunderous cheer after Wu Huang hit the last ball! It was this huge sound that pulled Wu Huang back from the nightmare state, otherwise he would probably be stunned as if he had lost his soul after the last ball.

But at this moment, in the eyes of the fans, Wu Huang's last shot with his left hand and his expressionless face could not be stimulated anymore. Everyone thought that he was deliberately pretending to be the expression. I don't know how many people were waiting to see him pretending to be missed and slapped in the face. But in the end he was successfully pretending to be a show of force, which made many people very angry, but also made his fans feel twice as happy at this moment!

The live broadcast seats in various countries were crying and howling, and the literary talent was just a good expression, and all the praises were applied to Emperor Wu; those who were not literary were like O'Neal and Barkley at this moment. The two of them had their voices and acted with all their acting skills to show how magical and incredible Wu's performance of hitting 25 goals in 42 seconds was!

Emperor Wu himself also felt that he was a little awesome this time, but he had never seen any scenes in the past three years, so he could still stabilize his emotions and enter the show-off mode very smoothly, still keeping his expressionless face. He is preparing to pretend to the end.

"You can speed up." Emperor Wu left a light sentence in front of the five people, but this sentence was no less lethal than throwing a nuclear bomb over their heads, Love and Joe Johnson had no confidence in winning.

"I can't think of how to praise such a performance. He deserves all the praises. Just think that I have said all the praises. And I think that in this year's three-point competition, everyone can turn off the TV when they see it. All the excitement of this competition is concentrated in these 42 seconds." O'Neal was not as polite as Barclaysso. At this moment, he really didn't know how to praise Emperor Wu, so he just said that.

After Wu Huang finished the ball, he seemed to have won the championship, and no one from the media or fans paid attention to other contestants.

In their eyes, this game is actually over. Even if Wu Huang is just the first player to play in the preliminary round, he still has the possibility of losing in the finals, but no one cares about these. The biggest topic of this All-Star must be Wu Huang's incredible full-score performance. In the eyes of fans, he wins and loses both the champions.

The other contestants may have been too nervous before Wu Huang's performance against the sky, and their results in the preliminaries were average. Love and Joe Johnson scored 14 and 12 points respectively, Anthony Moro and Mario Chamos only had 10 points. Ryan Anderson, who performed best besides Wu Huang, also only achieved 15 points.

The finals were Wu Huang, Anderson and Love. They were also the three most favored people in advance, but the gap seemed to be a bit big.

After watching Wu Huang's performance in 42 seconds, the fans in front of the TV first watched Wu Huang's 25 goals in 42 seconds. At this moment, they looked at these players who couldn't master the time and rhythm well. It was like just watching an NBA final and then watching a CuBA game. The span and contrast in the middle were too big. Many fans even shouted out the voice of directly presenting awards to Wu Huang. They were too lazy to watch the performances of these geniuses.

Emperor Wu’s previous performance and his subsequent pretentiousness completely disrupted the rhythm and feel of these contestants. This is the most sexy and the highest level of defeating the enemy without fighting.

Love and Anderson adjusted their condition before the finals, but failed to show their best side in the finals.

Since Wu Huang ranked first in the preliminary round, he can choose the order of appearance in the finals.

This is also the only change in the rules of this three-point competition, which has added the right to play first in the preliminaries, and Wu Huang naturally chose the last appearance.

Anderson, who played first in the final, was disappointing. He had no precise touch in the regular season when playing at home, especially the first two shooting points. His pace was obviously faster. In the end, he only hit 8 orange balls and two flower balls, and only scored 12 points.

With Anderson as a cushion, Love finally got some form back when it was his turn to start the game. It was obvious that his hands felt hot and his shooting rhythm improved, which made him finally get a high score of 19 points, and the game finally has some competition.

If the three-point competition is not counted as magical performances like Wu Huang before, usually if he scores above 18 points, he will be considered a high score, and if he gets above 20 points, he will have a high chance of winning the championship. Therefore, Love's score is indeed good. It's just that facing a big change in the preliminaries, no one is optimistic about the score that Love got.

After seeing the scores given by Love, Emperor Wu knew that he had already won three consecutive championships.

A large part of those scores of 29 and 30 are due to luck. It is difficult for Wu Huang to replicate this score again, but he is still very confident to ensure that he can perform 20+.

"Just win a three-game championship." Before Wu Huang started shooting, he said something in his heart that Lefu could be depressed after hearing it. In his heart, he really regarded this championship as his treasure.

Wu Huang is indeed qualified to think this way. This kind of game is indeed not too difficult for him. Just like after he only hit 4 goals and scored 6 points in the first two shooting points, Wu Huang was still calm at the third point because he had absolute confidence in himself and scored 30 points. Although it was luck, his brother scored 20 points by strength.

Wu Huang no longer made a few shots in the finals. He chose a more stable shot and shot every shot at a relatively normal rhythm. It may be difficult to score 25+ in a flash, but the stability is much higher.

At the third shooting point, Wu Huang scored two orange balls and a flower ball, and the total score had reached 10 points.

However, although his feel is getting better, this score is already a bit dangerous.

"Bang!" Wu Huang missed again for the first shot of the fourth shooting point. Now his fault tolerance rate rose to the red line, and the 60e church members finally began to panic.

Emperor Wu was still calm. He adjusted the rhythm a little, and the remaining four balls, including the flower ball, hit all the hearts that were about to jump out of the 60e cultists.

But after the church members breathed a sigh of relief, they felt that their leader seemed to be very dangerous, because one shooting point was only 6 points. If Wu Huang missed a flower ball, he could only keep the tie... If he missed another orange ball, he would be gg! (To be continued.)
