Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
All 20,562 seats were occupied.
The on-site DJ is introducing the 8 players participating in this competition.
The atmosphere has been heightened to its peak.
In the locker room.
Curry, Thompson, Murray, Trae Young and others have all changed clothes.
Wang Yi greeted them one by one.
They nodded one after another.
But today, they seem to be different from before.
Even their smiles don't seem to come from their hearts.
This year's three-point contest is full of strong players.
This also stimulates their desire to win.
They all held back their energy to take first place.
Wang Yi sat on a chair in front of the locker in the locker room, took off his Tang suit, and slowly changed into his jersey.
At this time, a person came in from the door of the locker room.
He is a black man who is 2.10 meters tall and has curly hair.
Wang Yi recognized this person.
He is this year's rookie, Barnes.
Originally a second-round pick, he turned out to be very impressive this season.
Especially the three-point shot with one hand is amazing.
The hit rate actually reached 43.3%.
If nothing else happens, he will definitely defeat this year's No. 1 pick, No. 2 pick and No. 3 overall pick and become the best rookie.
Maybe it was because of this that he felt a little arrogant.
He glanced at the seven people in the locker room.
Finally, the eyes were fixed on Wang Yi and the other three people.
He raised his chin and looked like he was in need of a beating: "Are you all here to compete for second place?"
His words made everyone laugh.
Trae Young sneered: "If you don't have the skills of a Big Bird, don't pretend to be a Big Bird. In fact, I think it's time for each of you to go to bed. The three-point king belongs to me!"
He is also an unruly person.
With 20,000 fans at the Knicks' home court chanting "Fak Trae Young" in unison, he hit a buzzer-beater, causing the entire stadium to fall silent for an instant.
Then the whole audience burst into laughter.
No one in the audience dared to respond.
This speaks volumes about this person's toughness and arrogance.
So it’s not surprising that I’m going crazy at this time.
Murray laughed too.
"Haha... Trae Young, what you said is a bit exaggerated. I'm still sitting here."
Wang Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Everyone is going crazy?
He looked at Curry and Thompson.
You two also want to complete a few sentences?
Sure enough, Thompson spoke.
He glanced at everyone except Curry and said seriously: "You are all thinking nonsense. This year's three-point champion must be with the Warriors."
Either him or Curry.
Curry did not speak.
He just had a weak smile on his face and kept shaking his head slightly.
It's like an adult watching a bunch of elementary school kids messing around.
In fact, he is the one who looks most like a primary school student.
When everyone saw his expression, they wished they could just beat him up.
If you have ever seen Curry clenching his braces and shaking his head on the court, you will know how unflattering his expression is at this moment.
In fact, these people may not be really crazy.
Now every expression and every word they say is a psychological tactic.
Ever since Big Bird disclosed the truth about how he pretended to be a bible, these people have all made up their minds.
Before the competition, write a few sentences to stimulate others.
If they can change their psychology, then they will have a greater chance of winning the three-point championship.
But now that everyone knows this psychological tactic, this tactic has lost its effectiveness.
Even though Thompson's words were a bit harsh, everyone suppressed their anger.
When Wang Yi saw that everyone was correcting themselves, he seemed to be disrespecting them by not correcting himself.
So he glanced at everyone.
Finally, his eyes rested on the rookie Curly Barnes, imitating Teacher Zhong’s tone:
"Garbage should stay in the trash can."
This sentence is obviously more important than everyone else's words.
This is tantamount to a direct personal attack.
After all, Barnes was young and energetic, so he couldn't sit still.
Pointing directly at Wang Yi: "Who are you calling trash?"
The others also looked at Wang Yi in surprise.
Are this guy's words too harsh?
Or maybe there was some grudge between the two of them?
However, Wang Yi waited for Barnes to ask the question.
He spread his hands and explained quickly:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you."
Barnes snorted coldly and put down his hand: "I'm sorry that you, a Chinese, don't dare to be so arrogant."
However, Wang Yi’s words still came.
He glanced at everyone: "I mean... everyone here is rubbish."
Swish——
In an instant, the eyes of the seven people were all fixed on Wang Yi.
What does it mean to offend seven people with one sentence?
This is it.
Although everyone knew before that this was a psychological tactic.
But when Wang Yi said these words, the fire in everyone's heart instantly rose.
Curly Barnes punched the closet.
He wanted to punch this Chinese man.
But fights and fights have very serious consequences.
If he takes action today, I am afraid that the Rookie of the Year who has worked hard for most of the season will be gone.
He could only gnash his teeth and curse: "Damn Chinese, I'll let you know later, who is the real three-point king!"
Saying this, he waved his hands and left the locker room.
Trae Young glared at Wang Yi: "You will pay the price!"
Then he snorted and left the locker room.
Murray: "On the court, you die without knowing how."
He also walked away.
Although the two Warriors brothers didn't say anything, their sharp eyes showed their attitude.
Looking at the empty locker room, Wang Yi looked helpless.
Hey hey hey, this is your fault.
Didn’t you want to complete two sentences?
Why are you so anxious?
Soon, eight people passed through the players' tunnel and came to the sidelines.
The spotlight suddenly fell on them.
The whole place was in an uproar.
"Baby-faced assassin, you are the eternal three-point king!"
"Clay, I love you!"
"Trae Young, Trae Young!"
Compared with them, Wang Yi still has relatively few fans.
On the other hand, Nicole, who was on the sidelines, was like a little girl chasing stars. She put her hands in the shape of a trumpet and put them to her mouth, shouting loudly: "Wang, you are the best!"
Several stars watching the game on the sidelines couldn't help but secretly envy Wang Yi when they saw such a beautiful reporter supporting Wang Yi so devotedly.
"This guy is so lucky."
"Damn, I'm so envious of you. Why don't you go to a nightclub later? By the way, I don't know which nightclub in Cleveland is the best."
"Ask lbj, he grew up in this city."
"Come on, you might as well ask the bearded man. There is no nightclub in the United States that he is not familiar with."
Soon, with the encouragement of the on-site DJ, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic than before.
Everyone stood up excitedly.
Curly Barnes has appeared.
Wang Yi and the other seven were warming up and adjusting their condition on the sidelines.
The DJ at the scene held a microphone and shouted loudly:
"Now, the first round of the three-point contest begins -"
“The first person to appear is this year’s rookie, Barnes, who is very likely to win the Rookie of the Year award!”
Barnes waved to the audience and quickly walked to the three-point line in the left corner.
The referee waited for him to be ready and gave the order: "Start!"
Barnes immediately picked up the orange basketball on the rack next to him.
Pull-up jump shot.
He jumped very high and his posture was very standard.
It looks pleasing to the eye.
Bang!
It hit the basket hard and bounced away.
Chapter completed!
