The Cleveland All-Star Three-Point Contest has just come to an end, and Timberwolves star Anthony Downs, after two rounds of competition, has won the new championship of the project without any danger, and he became the first center champion of the three-point contest. Leaving Trae Young and Luke Kennad behind, he pressed a group of defenders to the floor and rubbed them.
Before the start of the event, many fans did not expect Downs to be the final winner. Young, Mills and Van Jordan are all big hits to win the championship, after all, they are all comparable to Curry, Downs, as an inside offensive player, with the advent of the small-ball era, he also continues to enrich his arsenal, the three-point ball is also successfully developed, the diversity of offensive means also makes him favored by various teams, the league introduced him in this three-point contest, did not expect the sky to be beautiful.
Seeing Downs's first round of play, ups and downs, ups and downs, good at the last two points of perfect play, took him out of the edge of the cliff, successfully advanced to the second round; the first appearance was the player with the lowest score in the first round - Towns, as soon as he came on the court, it was as if he was hanging, instantly throwing multiple balls, such an operation really stunned the small partner under the field, you think he is going to drop the chain, he still uses his strange posture, draws a beautiful arc in the air, and the basketball scored 29 points in response to the net.
Trae Young may also feel unprecedented pressure in the face of such a situation, in his flower point can even complete the score of the rebound, but Yang Shaoxia's heart is still fluctuating, or lost, to the final point, in order to hurry or lost to Towns, get 26 points; the last appearance of Kennard, he played too well in the first round, let the fans put the final championship on him, his game process is almost the same as Yang, the opportunity in front is not grasped, resulting in a hasty shot in the back.
Towns won the All-Star Skills Game again and won the Three-Point Contest. In both shows, defenders are still very advantageous, and when it comes to passing and range, this is a compulsory course for defender players, but Downs is the biggest hole in this game. In the rookie challenge, the league added fun, separating the backcourt players and frontcourt players, and two players with different specifications competing on the same stage, which made Downs taste sweet.
Downs has played for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 24.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shooting 40.9 percent from three-point range, ranking 18th in the league. By the way, the first 17 players all belong to the backcourt, and such a Towns is simply out of place. The league arranged him into the three-point shooting project, or hope that the Bo fans will be eyeballed and give everyone a bright feeling. To be honest, Towns is still quite strong, whether it is a skill game or a three-point game, he has played to the fullest and performed very well. At the moment of the small ball era, Towns is still quite willing to compete with the defenders for jobs.
