Chapter 834 834. What kind of bullshit luck is this? (Please vote for me)

At noon, after lunch, Liu Xiu was taken to the Thomas & Mack Center by a car sent by the NBA official to meet up with his temporary teammates for the Shooting Star Challenge.

The team of the Shooting Star Challenge is composed of retired stars of the team, current players, and a WNBA player.

Liu Xiu guessed that the reason why the league did not allow the Raptors to participate in the competition was not that the Raptors signed up too late. With Bosh's enthusiasm for this competition, it was impossible to sign up too late.

It's because the Raptors have no retired stars...

There have been players like Charles Oakley and Dell Curry in the history of the Raptors, but they were all in the last one or two seasons of their careers and it is unlikely that they would be willing to represent the Raptors.

Liu Xiu knew both of his temporary teammates, and one of them was very familiar with them - Trail Blazers chief assistant Lionel Hollins.

The WNBA player is 210 cm tall Yarnell Booth of the Seattle Storm.

Paul Allen owns shares in the Seattle Storm. Players on this team occasionally receive tickets and air tickets as prizes. When they come to Portland to watch games, Liu Xiu is often taken for photos.

But Liu Xiu pays attention to Yarnell Booth because this 210-centimeter 'WNBA giant center' has relatives in the NBA. Calvin Booth, the center who currently plays for the Wizards, and the former first-choice player of the 1997 generation

Round pick Keith Booth, who played for the Bulls for two years and is now playing in Europe.

Liu Xiu curiously learned about it and learned that the three of them were cousins.

This generation of the Booth family is really full of talents in the basketball world...

Even Keith Booth, who only played in the NBA for two years, has been a genius among geniuses since he was a child.

They were all acquaintances, and the preparations were going smoothly. It was not an important match, just a game, and the shooting positions were quickly assigned.

However, since it is a game, I definitely want to win!

Even after accepting the invitation to compete, Huo Tu took time to practice the three-point shooting from the corner.

Yanel Booth is more active. During the All-Star Weekend, she will partner with Warden and show her face. She doesn't want to miss the opportunity. She has been practicing the 45-degree three-point training on both sides for a long time.

In addition to practicing mid-circle shooting and top arc shooting, Liu Xiu also asked the staff to set up competition facilities for the three-point contest and skills challenge, and actually trained several groups...

…

At 7 p.m., at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, the 2007 NBA All-Star Weekend Comprehensive Game Day is about to begin.

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was far higher than last night's Rookie Challenge.

Comprehensive event days with dunk contests already attract more attention than the Rookie Challenge. In addition, this year's Rookie Challenge is predictably unsightly, so the gap between the fans' enthusiasm tonight and last night is naturally quite large.

However, the extremely high enthusiasm of the fans tonight is more because of that man...

During the player introduction stage before the game, the participating players in four events including the Shooting Star Challenge, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest all included Warden Liu Xiu!

No matter how many championships Liu Xiu can win, even if he can't win any of them, tonight's game will be full of highlights.

NBA officials also spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to promote this comprehensive event day.

After introducing the participating players, the host signaled the participating players of the first competition event, the Shooting Star Challenge, to come on stage.

Players from the 4 teams came to the court.

Liu Xiu looked at the other three teams, the Lakers team composed of Kobe Bryant, former Defensive Player of the Year Michael Cooper, and Lisa Leslie, the first player to dunk in an actual women's basketball game;

The Spurs team consists of Duncan, iceman George Gervin, and Vic Perkins of the WNBA's San Antonio Silver Stars.

The Pistons team consists of Yao Ming, Bill Laimbeer, and Lena Cash of the WNBA's Detroit Shock.

This Shooting Star Challenge has attracted a lot of attention in China because Liu Xiu and Yao Ming are participating.

Liu Xiu thought it was fun, but Yao Ming saw Liu Xiu participating and joined in the fun.

Huo Tu, Cooper, Gervin, and Laimbeer provoked each other when they met. Liu Xiu, Kobe, Duncan, and Yao Ming also seemed to be full of fighting spirit. The fighting spirit of several women's basketball players was also very high.

After chatting with each other before the game, each team took the time to warm up their shots. Then the female basketball players from the Trail Blazers, Lakers, and Pistons went to draw lots. The defending champion Spurs had the advantage of being the last to appear in the preliminaries.

Yarnell Booth took the first shot, took out the ball, took a look at it, turned around and scratched his head, smiled sheepishly at Liu Xiu and Huo Tu, and showed the ball number with his other hand.

Huo Tu covered his head in pain. Cooper and Gervin were both his opponents back then. He didn't want to lose, and Laimbeer didn't want to lose even more. He was wronged by this guy at first, but later he became his teammate for half a season.

He didn't say a word to Ranbir for half a year.

Liu Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, this kind of luck...

The Lakers were drawn second and the Pistons were third.

Yao Ming laughed and said to Liu Xiu: "Warden, come and give us a sample!"

Kobe also came up and pinched Liu Xiu's shoulders a few times. He didn't understand what Yao Ming said, but he didn't need to understand to understand.

The first one to go up was the first to go up. Liu Xiu waved his hand, and Huo Tu and Yanel Booth followed. They concentrated on facing the game!

…

Warden's performance can be seen at the beginning of the game. The fans cheered wildly and countless fans shouted "Warden" loudly. They sincerely hope that he can perform better and play longer.

Liu Xiu came to the basket, Huo Tu went to the left corner, and Yarnell Booth went to a 45-degree angle on the left.

Players from the other three teams focused their attention on the Trail Blazers.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game. Liu Xiu took the ball and passed it to Huo Tu. Huo Tu hit a three-pointer from the left corner.

Liu Xiu received the ball falling from the basket and passed it to the left at a 45-degree angle, and then immediately ran towards the top arc, all in one movement...

The opponents couldn't help but clap their hands when they saw Liu Xiu's clean and neat actions.

Just as they expected, this guy would not participate in such a competition unless he was fully prepared.

But Yarnell Booth hit 3 irons in a row at a 45-degree angle on the left, and he only scored the fourth goal. Huo Tu’s pick-up and serve was not as smooth as Liu Xiu’s, and the 45-degree angle on the left was enough.

15 seconds.

Then Liu Xiu caught the ball and shot from the top of the arc. He missed the first two goals and only scored on his third shot.

Yarnell Booth made a hit from a 45-degree angle on the right side, and Huo Toutu made a three-pointer from the right bottom corner with just one iron. These two points performed very well.

But when Yarnell Booth passed the ball from the basket to Liu Xiu in the center circle, 41 seconds had already passed.

This point is the farthest and most difficult!

It would be good if you can make 5 shots, and 3 shots are absolutely excellent... But in that case, the time must be more than 50 seconds. Based on the experience of the past three competitions, there is basically no chance of reaching the finals.

Kobe, Yao Ming, and Duncan watched Liu Xiu catch the ball and shoot, and it was actually a mid-circle shot that was close to a normal shooting posture... If you are strong, you can do whatever you want.

Seeing Liu Xiu closing his eyes after throwing the ball, the three opponents had the same idea - was it a pity to give up?

Then, the three of them were stunned. Listening to the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, the three of them opened their eyes wide - this shit must be so lucky!

Liu Xiu hit a three-pointer in the middle circle, and the Trail Blazers' time was frozen at 44 seconds!
