Reed: How rude of you!

......

"Whoosh!!!"

"bang~~~"

"Whoosh!!!"

Peja's shot was over, and Nowitzki's laughter was over too.

Peja missed six regular pitches, but made four of the five money balls.

so...

Peja scored 22 points in the first round, surpassing Nowitzki.

......

The most watched parts of the All-Star Game are the Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Game itself.

Fans generally don't care much about the three-point contest.

actually...

21 points is already a pretty good score.

In previous All-Star Three-Point Contests, several champions only scored around 21 points in the final.

This year's Three-Point Contest is noticeably different.

Two of the first three players to take the court have already scored more than 20 points.

Seeing Nowitzki and Peja's scores...

Reed's 13 points mean he shouldn't even think about making it to the finals, and he's actually quite at ease about it.

Next up is Ray Allen, a three-point specialist. Some say he's Miller's successor, while others say Ray Allen's achievements will surpass Miller's.

The whistle blew...

Ray Allen begins to shoot.

Every shot was textbook perfect, with standard and consistent movements and a very high accuracy rate.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"bang~~~"

"Whoosh!!!"

After throwing at the first spot, Ray Allen quickly ran to the second spot, then... the third spot, the fourth spot, and the last spot.

21 points!!!

Ray Allen also scored 21 points.

After seeing their scores, Ray Allen and Nowitzki exchanged a glance; the scores were somewhat embarrassing.

If Kobe and Weiguo score less than 21 points.

Peja, Nowitzki, and Ray Allen will then advance to the final.

To put it bluntly...

These guys signing up for the three-point contest have a bit of a challenge to Wei Guo in their eyes.

Leaving aside last season, Wei Guo is clearly a level above the other players this season, averaging 46.1 points per game, 14 points more than McGrady, who is second in the scoring list, and a three-point shooting percentage of 56%, 12 percentage points higher than Reed, who is second.

Wei Guo is a scoring expert.

There are 25 balls in total. If you don't deliberately throw them randomly, it's much harder to make Wei Guo miss five balls than to make him make five.

......

Kobe was the second to last to appear.

He was chatting and laughing with Wei Guo on the sidelines just moments ago, but when Kobe picked up the basketball, his eyes were filled with nothing but the desire to win.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"......."

"Whoosh!!!"

On the first shooting spot, he made all five of his attempts.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"......."

"Whoosh!!!"

The second shooting spot, five shots made.

“w(?Д?)w”

The fans gasped in surprise.

Who ignited his desire to win, transforming the Los Angeles blacksmith into a three-point shooting maniac?

At the top of the key, Kobe missed a regular shot.

From a 45-degree angle on the left, Kobe missed a shot.

Reaching the last spot in the corner... with 13 seconds left, Kobe had plenty of time. He adjusted his position before grabbing the basketball and shooting.

"Whoosh!!!"

Wow~~~

"Whoosh!!!"

Wow~~~

"......."

"Whoosh!!!"

Wow~~~

Every goal drew cheers from the fans.

final...

Kobe's last shot also went in five out of five.

27 points!!!

This is the highest score in the history of the Three-Point Contest. When Kobe saw this score, he grinned from ear to ear, making no attempt to hide his excitement and pride.

original...

After Kobe finished his shot, it was Weiguo's turn.

But the host couldn't wait any longer and ran onto the court to stop Kobe, wanting to conduct a brief interview with him.

"Kobe, you just set a new scoring record in the Three-Point Contest!"

"Really? That's really cool..."

"Can you share your secret? How do you manage to put every ball in the basket?"

"I actually do have a little trick..."

Kobe looked at Wei Guo and said, "I treat every shot as if it's a game-winning shot. The tension makes me sink every single one of my shots."

You're so amazing!

The host, microphone in hand, addressed the fans: "Give Kobe another round of applause and screams!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

Fans chanted Kobe's name loudly.

......

It was finally Wei Guo's turn, and Kobe did put some pressure on him.

Fortunately...

This is just the preliminary round. Wei Guo only needs to score 22 points or more to advance to the finals. Wei Guo doesn't believe Kobe can perform like this in the finals.

"Uncle, keep it up!"

Before Wei Guo went on the field, a young fan in the front row shouted.

Because the boy was speaking Chinese, Wei Guo turned his head to take a look. The young fan was only twelve or thirteen years old and looked to be Chinese.

"Um?!"

Wei Guo asked curiously, "Are you Chinese?"

"Yes."

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Wei Dong."

"They're from the same family..."

Wei Guo smiled and walked to the corner, preparing to shoot.

"Beep!!!"

As the whistle blew, Wei Guo grabbed the basketball and shot. His release was incredibly fast, as if he had just grabbed the ball and thrown it directly into the basket.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"........"

"Whoosh!!!"

The same five shots made.

Wei Guo leisurely walked to the second shooting spot and continued shooting.

"Whoosh!!!"

"bang~~~"

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"bang~~~"

Secondly, Wei Guo missed two shots, losing three points, which made him feel a little anxious.

Fans are starting to worry for Wei Guo, hoping he will make it to the finals and compete with Peja and Kobe for this year's Three-Point Contest title. It would be a disappointment for fans if Wei Guo were eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

Fortunately...

When Wei Guo got a little serious, his accuracy improved significantly.

In the next three shooting spots, Wei Guo only missed two regular shots, bringing his preliminary score to 25 points.

The preliminary scores are in:

Kobe: 27 points

Wei Guo: 25 points

Peja: 22 points

Nowitzki: 21 points

Ray Allen: 21 points

Reed: 13 points

Dirk Nowitzki, Ray Allen, and Reed were eliminated, while Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, and Peja Stojakovic advanced to the finals to compete for this year's Three-Point Contest championship.

actually...

Everyone could see that, apart from Wei Guo, all the other players gave it their all in the preliminary rounds.

Wei Guo only felt a little pressure after missing two shots, and he still managed to score 25 points, showing that they are not on the same level.
