Super All-around Point Guard

"Hahaha, I even dribbled the ball with my feet during the skills challenge. I know why the skills challenge requires bigger players. It turns out it's just for fun!"

Cousins ​​dribbled the ball to his feet and out of bounds, which made the audience laugh. The skills challenge is a place to showcase players' skills. If you can participate in this competition, you must have confidence in your skills. A small obstacle caused the dribbling to go out of bounds... I'm afraid even elementary school students can't stand it.

Moreover, before the game, Cousins ​​​​deliberately lied in front of Xie Chen, who had already advanced, and said that Xie Chen would wait for him in the finals...

Xie Chen couldn't laugh or cry at this moment.

As an opponent, Anthony Davis was also happy, because Anthony Davis was born as a guard and was not that tall before. In his senior year of high school, he suddenly grew from 1.91 meters to more than 2 meters. Even though Cousins ​​​​It's hard to beat Anthony Davis without turning the ball over, and it looks even harder now.

As for the test of passing, it was not difficult for Anthony Davis. He hit it with one hit, but Cousins ​​​​slowly walked over and didn't throw it in three times.

Anthony Davis led all the way, and everyone thought he was going to win. However, at the three-point line, he repeatedly missed the shot. Instead, Cousins, who could not dribble smoothly, came up from behind and hit with one shot. Immediately, he hit a three-pointer to defeat Anthony Davis!

"Cousins ​​actually won? Oh my god, I can't believe it."

"It seems that the most critical thing in this game is the last three-pointer. No matter how far ahead you are, it is useless if you can't hit the three-pointer immediately. In other words, there is no chance for a big man to compete with a small man. , but if the little winner is Xie, there is still no possibility of winning. Xie's three-pointers are too accurate. When the space is open, it is impossible to miss two consecutive shots, and Xie can definitely take the lead. It takes two pitches.”

This is the end of the first round. Those who advanced to the second round were Thomas Jr. and Xie Chen from the point guard group, and Cousins ​​​​and Towns from the big man group.

At this time, some children's performances were performed on site, and everyone took this opportunity to rest.

The two opponents, Cousins ​​​​and Towns, are quite confident and say that they are the ones who will advance to the finals. However, Xie Chen and Thomas Jr. are relatively quiet. Thomas Jr. is smiling all the time. This made Xie Chen wonder what Thomas was thinking. Did he, like Lillard, particularly want to win against him? If so, what if we encounter another situation where two people are neck and neck for a layup? To give in or not to give in?

"Isiah Thomas is not targeting me like Damian Lillard. If he wants to win that much, I will let him go for a layup and then bet on a long three-pointer." Xie Chen thought in advance. Let’s take a look at what will happen on the court later, so as not to hesitate again, Thomas does not have a terrifying long-range three-point ability, Xie Chen is still confident to beat him.

Soon, the second round began.

Yang Jiandao: "The game between Xie Chen and Thomas Jr. will be held soon. One player will be born from the two of them to advance to the finals."

Zhang Weiping said: "If it were a whole game of running without any obstacles, then Thomas' speed might lag behind Xie Chen, but in this kind of sprint that tests dribbling skills, because Thomas is small, his speed will definitely not be lost. Xie Chen’s, if he hits the three-point shot again, I’m afraid he will beat Xie Chen.”

Xie Chen also cheered up. If it was to win the dunk contest, Xie Chen would be confident and just show the coolest dunk action. But if it was this skill challenge, the gap between him and his opponents would not be very big. Any mistake in any detail may allow your opponent to defeat you.

Game start!

The fans at the scene also became enthusiastic, and they obviously regarded this showdown as the final!

Yang Jian also began to explain passionately: "Little Thomas is so fast! He led Xie Chen and came to the frontcourt. During the passing test, he hit the ball with one hit. Xie Chen also made a hit. Little Thomas is still in the lead!"

Before the duel between the two began, Thomas Jr. smiled innocently and said nothing. He seemed to have no intentions. But as soon as he came on the court, he suddenly burst out with such a strong desire to win.

Thomas was leading Xie Chen all the way, and everyone became nervous. Will Thomas continue to lead like this until the end?

The key depends on whether Thomas can hit the three-pointer. If he hits the three-pointer in one shot, Xie Chen will really lose!

Thomas rushed back for a layup, glanced at Xie Chen's position from the corner of his eye, and then jumped up for a layup. What no one expected was that Thomas, who was too eager, missed the layup!

The basketball made a circle on the basket and came out!

"Thomas missed a layup!" Yang Jian was also shocked.

"This is an opportunity for Xie Chen!" Zhang Weiping said excitedly.

Xie Chen quickly flew up and succeeded in a layup. Xie Chen was far superior to Thomas in terms of height and jumping height. He was closer to the basket. There was basically no chance of an unsuccessful layup. After the layup was successful, Xie Chen quickly ran to the front. game, this time he did not choose to shoot the LOGOSHOT, but planned to shoot again when he reached the three-point line, because he was ahead, so he didn't have to take such risky actions.

Everyone knows that the best three-pointers in the league are Xie Chen and Curry. Their shooting percentages against their opponents are incredible, let alone open three-pointers?

Not to mention 100% success, the probability of not winning is also very low.

After Thomas made his second layup, he was very unwilling. He also knew that he must not let Xie Chen shoot a three-pointer, otherwise Thomas would lose. So, Thomas also imitated Xie Chen and directly threw three-pointers when he reached midfield. !

"LOGOSHOT! Thomas wants to copy Xie?!"

The scene was suddenly shocked. Xie Chen also felt the strange sound. He immediately realized that Thomas might have been thrown directly behind him.

Sure enough, Thomas threw the ball in his hand before Xie Chen took action!

After Xie Chen knew that Thomas was shooting, he didn't shoot again. Instead, he watched the direction of the ball. If Thomas could hit such a long three-pointer, then Xie Chen would have to admit defeat.

boom!

The basketball bounced out of the frame!

Thomas was still not so lucky, and the nervous audience at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, because the duel had already concluded at this time, and Thomas did not move forward after seeing that he missed the shot. He squatted on the ground in frustration.

"Haha, Xie Chen still wins." Zhang Weiping congratulated him in advance.

Xie Chen also took his time on the court and slowly shot three-pointers without using any skills.

boom!

The ball actually bounced out...

"Uh..." Xie Chen didn't expect such a low-probability event to happen.

Thomas was still squatting in the half court without moving, so Xie Chen took another ball and shot again.

boom!

The shot actually hit the target again...

"This, consecutive missed shots are quite rare for Xie Chen..." Yang Jian didn't know what to say.

There was an uproar at the scene. Many people were worried whether Xie Chen's three-point condition was not good today. With such a shooting rate, he would not be able to win the three-point contest!

The most confused person was Thomas. He thought that Xie Chen would make the shot in one shot, so after he missed the half-court three-pointer, he didn't go any further. If he had known that Xie Chen would miss two goals in a row, he would have gone up quickly. I went to vote for the second one, maybe he will win now!

"Damn it!" Thomas was extremely depressed.

Then, Xie Chen shot for the third time and finally hit.

At this time, Anthony Davis and Cousins ​​​​also brightened up and hit one of three three-pointers. At this level, we can beat it!

After Xie Chen advanced to the finals, Thomas had to step forward and ask Xie Chen: "Did you really miss the first two three-pointers just now, or did you miss them on purpose?"

Xie Chen looked at Thomas' serious look. If he was told that he really missed the shot, Thomas would probably vomit blood with regret. Xie Chen smiled and said: "Of course I missed the shot on purpose, man, I am the champion of the three-point contest." , if you follow me, I guarantee that the first ball will be over."

After hearing this, little Thomas finally felt a little better.

Xie Chen entering the finals is also exciting for the big men group, because Xie Chen is the first person in the league, and may even be the first person in history in the future. Everyone wants to challenge Xie Chen, and even want to beat Xie Chen, Kal Tang Si is undoubtedly more ambitious than Cousins.

Immediately afterwards, the big men group competed for a spot in the finals. Karl Towns and Cousins ​​​​became very serious. From the beginning, the two ran at high speed without making any mistakes. In the passing process, Towns One hit hit, but Cousins ​​missed three times. Towns led all the way. In the end, Towns succeeded in shooting a three-pointer!

"Towns advanced to the finals!" Yang Jiandao.

At this time, Cousins ​​was even still in the backcourt and didn't have time to shoot his three-pointer!

Zhang Weiping was also surprised: "It's okay for Towns. He is so far ahead of Cousins. This is probably shorter than the time it took Xie Chen. The final is really hard to predict."

Seeing how brave Towns was, some fans even began to gloat in advance: "If Xie Chen loses to a big man in the skills challenge, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? Haha."

Karl Towns is very proud. If he can defeat Xie Chen in the finals, and then his teammate Zach LaVine defeats Xie Chen in the dunk contest, then tonight belongs to Xie Chen, and he will be defeated by these two Timberwolves. The team members stole most of it!

Xie Chen could tell what this guy was thinking by looking at Tang Si. Xie Chen did not deny Tang Si's ability and future status, but now, this guy couldn't even think about beating him, not even once.

The finals are about to begin!

A small man versus a big man, the league's No. 1 point guard versus the future No. 1 center in the league, everyone thinks that Towns' challenge to Xie Chen can be called a "narrow escape". He only has a 10% hope of winning, because first, the speed is not as good as Xie Chen, second, is not as good as Xie Chen in three-pointers, and speed and three-point ability can be said to be the most important abilities in this game.

But Towns is still confident.

"My speed is not bad, my passing is not bad, and I can make a three-pointer in one shot if I am lucky. If I make some small moves, I may not be able to beat him. Xie is also the most unique player in the league. I will learn from him. There's nothing wrong with it, hehe." Downs had a weird smile on his face, not knowing what he was planning.

Yang Jian: "The race has begun! Xie Chen and Downs are both very fast! Xie Chen quickly passed the obstacle and temporarily took the lead, and Downs quickly followed!"

After overcoming the obstacle, the accuracy of the pass will be tested. Xie Chen is a point guard, so he will obviously continue to have the advantage. Towns also made a hit before, which should not be underestimated.

At this time, Towns used a trick to catch up and even lead Xie Chen.

After passing the ball, he immediately rushed forward without even looking at the result!

Speaking of which, this is also a kind of gamble, because once he fails to throw the ball into the circle, he has to turn back again and continue passing the ball. But if the bet is right and he throws it in, he will save time than Xie Chen.

Xie Chen didn't gamble. After throwing, he stood still and waited until he saw the ball thrown into the circle before starting again.

Then, the two got the ball at the same time and were neck and neck again!

"Tang Si actually caught up with him again!" Yang Jian was shocked.

As if he was risking his life, Towns threw the ball forward and started running wildly. Although Xie Chen was faster, Towns had long steps. With his long strides, he and Xie Chen actually always stayed on the same level.

But when he was approaching the basket, Xie Chen was still slightly faster than Towns.

Then, the two took off for a layup almost at the same time.

Xie Chen was the first to pick up the basketball. As expected, Xie Chen's ball should have hit the net first.

However, what is unexpected is that this guy Towns didn't make a layup, but a dunk!

Bang!

Towns poured the ball into the basket and knocked Xie Chen's ball off!

"Damn it, you bastard!" Xie Chen didn't expect that Tang Si would play dirty.

Many fans of Xie Chen were also angry on Xie Chen's behalf: "Why are you still dunking? Showing off that Towns can dunk? Why don't you participate in the dunk contest if you want to dunk so much?"

At this time, Towns had already taken the lead. Xie Chen made a quick layup, knowing that Towns might make it in one shot, so he had to use LOGOSHOT again!

But who would have expected that Towns had expected that Xie Chen would shoot a long three-pointer. After Xie Chen made the shot, Towns also threw the basketball, and actually hit Xie Chen's basketball on the rim again!

"Hahaha, he has no ball." Towns was very proud.

"Damn it, here we go again!" Xie Chen was furious and quickly sprinted forward. Seeing that Towns was about to shoot a three-pointer, he picked up a ball and threw it directly in the direction of his ball.

With a bang, it also fell down.

There was another moment of embarrassment at the scene...

Is this playing against each other?

The two looked at each other, and both shot the third shot as quickly as possible. Towns was the first to throw the ball. Xie Chen did not cause any more damage this time, but followed closely.

After Karl Towns made the shot, he stared at his basketball expectantly. In his opinion, he won if the ball went in!

In fact, Towns, who took the first three-point shot, did make it.

But the champion of the skills challenge was not him, but Xie Chen!

(Guess why.)
