Next, the NBA's big players are getting more and more technically delicate, and their ability to control the dribble and three-point shooting ability is very good, and Minnesota Timberwolves center Towns is one of the leaders.
Previously, Towns has participated in the NBA's skill competition, performed well, and now participates in the three-point game is also handy. Despite the participation of top pitchers such as McCollum, Bain and Trae Young, Downs did not panic at all, and hit the three-pointer steadily.
In the final showdown, Towns scored 29 points, breaking Curry's record of 28 points in the last three-point contest and successfully winning the three-point king of this year's All-Star Weekend.
