The preliminaries of the Skills Challenge will be held on March 2 after the Xingrui Competition, and the preliminaries are divided into two rounds: 12 into 8 and 8 into 4; the top four players in the preliminaries will compete for the title of the Skills Challenge in the midfield of the All-Star Game on March 3, and the last All-Star Skills Tournament champion is Xu Jie, who is not sure if he can successfully defend his title this year. It is worth mentioning that only Liaoning team Guo Allen has won the skills championship twice in a row, and they were two All-Star Skills Challenges in 2012 and 13.
And there is only one foreign player among the 10 CBA players participating in the All-Star Skills Tournament, and that is the Fujian team Jermain, whose selection also makes the Fujian team the team with the largest number of participants in the Skills Challenge, and his teammate Li Yiyang was selected with him. In this year's All-Star Skills Challenge, Xu Jie and Sun Minghui's PK has attracted attention, after all, according to the data, Sun Minghui is the strongest local point guard, but Xu Jie is here for the defending skills championship, and the two will collide with strong sparks.
