After the high-profile rookie challenge came to an end, the All-Star Weekend ushered in a high-profile single event related competition, and who did the champion of this skill contest + three-point contest + dunk contest undoubtedly attracted the attention of many fans and the media!
All-Star Skills Competition: The Three Knights win the championship
Compared with previous years, this year's skills competition ushered in changes, with a total of 6 players participating, and will be divided into three groups for 4 rounds of duels.
The duels are: first round shots, second round passes, third round relays and fourth round midfield shots.
The skill competitions are divided into:
Rookies: Raptors player Scotty Barnes, Pistons player Cade Cunningham and Thunder player Josh Gidey.
Alphabet Team: Alphabet Three Brothers.
Cavaliers: Jarrett Allen + Darius Garland + Evan Mobley.
In terms of rookies, Cunningham has just won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, which can be described as a hot state, and Josh Gidy has always had a basketball talent and skill that is visible to the naked eye.
But Scotty Barnes recreated the embarrassing picture of the rookie challenge, and the first round of shooting was repeatedly ironed, resulting in the rookie team scoring only 32 points in the first round.
Although the alphabet team has an advantage in physical condition, the helpless shooting has always been the shortcoming of the three brothers, which also led to the alphabet team losing the opportunity to win the game early.
In contrast, in contrast, the cavaliers three young allen + Mobley + Garland played, in the first three rounds of the matchup steady, the fourth round of midfield shooting, Mobly only used one shot to hit, with 4.4 seconds to successfully kill the rookie team, won the skill game championship.
Rationally speaking, as the host of this All-Star Weekend, the Cavaliers' triple-double Aaron + Mobley + Allen can win the championship, and indeed did not live up to the expectations of home fans!
Three-point contest: Towns broke the record with 29 points
Similar to the skill game, this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest is also not lacking in highlights, and 8 players from 8 teams will compete in the same field to compete for this year's All-Star Three-Point King.
Among the 8 players, the Hawks' Trae Young, the Grizzlies' Desmond Bain and the Clippers' Luke Kennard have been the favorite candidates for this three-point contest!
But unfortunately, Bane only scored 18 points in the first round of cold hands, and although Trae Young + Kennard advanced to the final, downs ushered in an outbreak, threw a record-breaking 29 points, eliminated Trae Young + Kennard in one fell swoop, and won the championship of this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest!
Rationally speaking, compared with the two popular defenders of Trae Young + Kennard, Towns, as a center, can break the record and win the championship of this all-star three-point contest, which is indeed a big upset!
Dunk Contest: Topping Dreams Of Taking Away the Dunk King
As the finale of this year's individual event, the dunk contest led by Rocket guard Jaylen Green, Magic guard Cole Anthony, Warriors forward Juan Toscano Anderson and Knicks forward Obi Topin is also dramatic!
After all, as two popular candidates, although Jaylen Green and Cole Anthony were once favored by the judges, they were helpless to play abnormally, and Jaylen Green tried many times to play the bottom line and failed to dunk, and both were eliminated.
In the final, Toscano Anderson failed to complete the hanging arm dunk that paid tribute to Carter, ObiTo smoothly and steadily dunked to gain the advantage of the score, and then completed the difficult crotch change board dunk, the final scored 47 points, successfully defeated Toscano Anderson, and was crowned the all-star dunk king of this year!
I have to say that compared with the regret of last year's dunk contest, this year's Obi-Topping is also finally fulfilling his dream and winning the first all-star dunk king of his career!
Rationally speaking, with the rookie challenge and the individual events coming to an end, the highlight of this All-Star Weekend, what kind of surprises the All-Star Game can bring to us, it is indeed full of expectations!
