Start by Maxing Out the Attack Talent, Kobe Is Jealous

In the 2001 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Wei Guo with the 58th overall pick in the second round, from Georgetown University. With that statement, Wei Guo became the second Chinese pla...

Chapter 148 Three-Point Contest (Part 2)

This year's All-Star Game has captured the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese football fans.

Two Chinese players have become starters in the Western Conference All-Star Game. What an honor!

and...

Wei Guo also signed up for the Three-Point Contest, Skills Challenge, and Slam Dunk Contest. Chinese fans naturally hope that Wei Guo can win all three competitions and also get the AmVp award, which would be perfect.

Huaxia Live Room.

Old Yang: "Kobe set a three-point contest scoring record, and this record probably won't last long. The player who impressed me the most in the preliminary round was Wei Guo."

Old Xu: "Yes, it feels like Wei Guo hasn't even exerted his full strength yet, and he's already scored 25 points."

Old Yang said, "Wei Guo's three-point shooting percentage is much higher than Kobe and Peja. They are not in the same league."

Old Xu said, "I said last year that Wei Guo should sign up for the three-point shooting contest."

Old Yang said, "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be very difficult for Kobe and Peja to snatch the three-point contest title from Wei Guo."

...

The three-point contest has entered the finals, and the order of appearance is determined by the scores in the preliminary rounds.

Jordan and Iverson also joined in.

These two big names also participated in the three-point contest, one scoring 5 points and the other 10 points, which can be said to be very impressive.

Peja was the first to appear.

Kobe and Wei Guo's preliminary scores put a lot of pressure on Peja, but he represented the glory of a shooter and hoped to win the three-point contest.

"Ready."

"Beep!!!"

The whistle blew, Peja grabbed the basketball, and took a shot.

"bang~~~"

He missed the first shot.

Peja had no time to regret missing the first shot and quickly grabbed the second basketball and threw it towards the basket.

"Whoosh!!!"

The second ball went into the net swish-swish.

Peja found his rhythm, and his shooting became much smoother after that.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"bang~~~"

"Whoosh!!!"

"........"

"Whoosh!!!"

Peja finished his shot and glanced at the score.

21 points!!!

He missed three money balls and three regular balls, scoring one point less than in the preliminary round.

This score...

Winning the three-point contest will be a bit difficult.

........

Wei Guo was the second player to take the field, and the fans cheered him on continuously.

"Brother~"

Iverson walked over, breathed on his palm, and then gave Wei Guo a high five, saying, "I'll give you my good luck!"

Wei Guo, "???"

Seeing this, Jordan followed suit and breathed on his palms.

"Come on, give me a high five!"

Jordan patted Wei Guo's hand and said, "I'll bring you my good luck too!"

Wei Guo, "???"

Two question mark faces in a row.

Wei Guo was extremely frustrated. Did Jordan and Iverson's performances in the Three-Point Contest bring him good luck?

"Hahaha..."

Jordan and Iverson ran over to annoy Wei Guo, and the surrounding players almost burst out laughing.

Walk to the bottom corner and get ready for the game.

Wei Guo secretly wiped his hands on his basketball shorts, hoping to get rid of the bad luck brought to him by Iverson and Jordan, and then started shooting.

In the finals, Wei Guo finally got serious.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"......."

"Whoosh!!!"

On the first shooting spot, five shots made!

The DJ at the scene excitedly shouted, "Wow, five shots in a row! I'm really looking forward to Wei Guo's performance at the second shooting spot."

"Whoosh!!!"

"........"

"Whoosh!!!"

The second shooting spot, also a perfect 5-for-5!

Wei Guo didn't concede a single goal in the first ten.

......

Jordan said to Iverson, "Weiguo only made such accurate shots because he got lucky with us."

I second that!

Iverson nodded with a big laugh.

........

The third spot, and another five shots made!

"Defend the country!"

"Defend the country!"

"Defend the country!"

The DJ at the scene was hyping up the atmosphere, leading the fans in chanting Weiguo's name.

However...

The unexpected happened at that moment!

There were five baskets in total, placed in five locations. Each basket had wheels underneath, and the wheels were secured after the baskets were pushed into place to prevent them from sliding away. During the preliminary rounds, a caddie would stand next to each basket. However, due to the caddie's negligence, the fourth basket was not secured, and the caddie was standing right on the sidelines.

Wei Guo had just finished throwing the third basket when the fourth basket suddenly slid back more than a meter.

Unexpected accident...

The scene fell silent instantly, and the caddies quickly ran to the fourth basket, trying to push it back to a distance.

The caddie panicked because Wei Guo had already arrived before he even got there. Moreover, Wei Guo wasn't waiting at a distance; he went straight to the basket, which had slid a meter away. If Wei Guo were to pull the basket back himself, it would take at least two seconds and disrupt his shooting rhythm.

But...

Wei Guo didn't pull the basket back; instead, he grabbed the basketball and continued shooting from a distance of more than a meter from the three-point line.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"........"

"Whoosh!!!"

Another perfect 5-for-5!

The entire stadium fell silent; the fans stood with their mouths agape, unable to utter a sound.

With only one corner left, Wei Guo jogged over and had fifteen seconds left to shoot. He easily sank all five three-pointers.

30 points!!!

Five shooting spots, twenty-five basketballs, Weiguo didn't lose a single point.

This is the first perfect score in the Three-Point Contest, and it may be the only perfect score for many years to come.

Holy crap, that's awesome!!!

Jordan and Iverson rushed over and pushed Weiguo back and forth.

"Defend the country!"

"Defend the country!"

"Defend the country!"

The scene erupted in cheers!

Wei Guo created a miracle: a perfect score in the three-point contest!

Not only that...

At the fourth shooting spot, after the rim had traveled a meter, Wei Guo was still able to make all five of those long-range three-pointers.

........

This is an entertainment-oriented event, so there aren't any strict requirements.

No one would say that Wei Guo committed a shooting violation. If Wei Guo's fourth shooting spot had been affected, he might have been able to ask for a second shot. However, he received a perfect score. Anyone who understands basketball knows that Wei Guo's fourth basket was a meter away from the three-point line, making the shot even more difficult. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Wei Guo scored 31 points in this round.

Why were Jordan and Iverson so excited?

because...

The two genuinely believed that Wei Guo's outstanding performance was due to their good fortune.

........

The last player to appear was Kobe, who scored 27 points in the preliminary round.

original...

The brightest star in the finals should have been Kobe, who was on fire, but with Wei Guo's 30 points, Kobe's star power dimmed considerably.

No matter how hard Kobe tries, he can't surpass Wei Guo, and if Kobe misses just one shot, he loses.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"bang~~~"

At the first shooting spot, Kobe missed the last shot.
