One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 717: : Countdown to retirement

"Yiyang announced to replace Belinelli to participate in the three-point contest, and the fantasy showdown has come true!"

"Yiyang VS Curry, the game beyond the three-point line!"

"Yiyang goes deep into the tiger's den and fights against the Splash Brothers. The three-point contest has a lot to watch!"

"The best three-point contest in history? Yiyang joins to save the boring All-Stars!"

Since entering the 21st century, the enthusiasm of the All-Star Weekend has gradually declined, and no player has announced to participate in the three-point contest, which can cause such a huge sensation in the league.

The three-point contest has neither intense physical confrontation nor the violent aesthetics of a dunk contest, which makes this contest fundamentally more difficult to attract attention than other events.

In recent years, the three-point contest has even become a "hot field project" before the dunk contest. Even with the participation of Splash Brothers this year, the heat still cannot surpass the subsequent dunk contest.

But the joining of Yiyang completely reversed the situation.

Maybe it's someone else who doesn't count the winning or losing of a game at all. Some people say that Yiyang is a bit too impulsive, because he has lost a game and decided to participate in a three-point contest that he is not good at. He is already a superstar and there is no need to prove himself in the three-point contest.

But it is precisely because he is a superstar that he has a competitive spirit different from ordinary people. No superstar is content with the status quo, even if it's just a loss, they will find a way to get it back.

For this matter, Kobe, who is also very competitive, agrees very much.

"It's great to be able to join the competition too! He doesn't believe that he is worse than any player, and dares to challenge! Such qualities have become less and less in the league." On Twitter, Kobe expressed publicly. Support for Yiyang. Maybe only these two aggressive guys can understand each other's ideas.

Before the All-Star Game, the Mavericks still have three games to play. Everyone guessed that in preparation for the three-point contest, Yiyang would definitely increase his number of long shots from beyond the three-point line.

In this way, the Mavericks' tactics will be disrupted, so their record is definitely not much better.

But the Mavericks and Yiyang games are always very different from what others predicted.

On February 7, the Dallas Mavericks played at home against the Portland Trail Blazers, who are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference, with a record of 34 wins and 16 losses.

Before the start of the game, everyone thought it would be a long shot battle between Yiyang and Lillard.

However, they were only half right. Lillard did a lot of shots from outside the three-point line today, but Yiyang didn't follow the shots from outside the three-point line.

In the game, Lillard made 10 shots from the three-point line and hit three goals. Although the hit rate is not high, Lillard should be satisfied. You know, he was on Yiyang last season, but he couldn't get a single point!

Where is Yiyang? He also made a few three-pointers, but the number of shots is far less exaggerated than 10. With 3 of 4 shots, Yiyang's performance outside the three-point line is very efficient. He used less than half of Lillard's three-pointers to make the same number of three-pointers as him. Either you don't vote, and you will get a high probability if you vote. This is Yiyang's way of thirds!

With both sides playing normally, it must be the Mavericks with stronger hard power that made it to the end.

In the last two minutes of the game, Lillard's shooting percentage began to decline due to his physical decline.

Aldridge took the banner and scored several turn-over jumpers on Dirk's head.

But Aldridge was still hard to beat with one punch and four hands. In the last three minutes, Yiyang, Dirk and Wade all contributed. The Dallas Mavericks also relied on their hard work in the last three minutes to win the game by 8 points.

111 to 103, the Mavericks and Yiyang still played steadily, and the unreasonable three-pointer did not appear.

Although Yiyang wanted to win Curry, he would never lose his mind because of the three-point contest.

To avoid losing streak, this is what Yiyang first needs to lead the team to do. The defeat to the Warriors in the away game has become an irreparable past. What Yiyang can do now is to lead everyone to win more games to make up for their regrets.

So in the next two days, the Mavericks first successfully avenged the Los Angeles Clippers, and then easily killed the Utah Jazz who drove high this season. After losing to the Warriors, he immediately won three consecutive victories, turning the record into 51 wins and 5 losses. The Mavericks quickly got out of the gloom of defeat and continued to get on the right track.

At this point, the Mavericks before the All-Star weekend are all completed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Halfway through the schedule, the Mavericks did not have any major injuries and the record was very good. This weekend, taking the opportunity to relax, is the real goal of the Mavericks players.

But for Yiyang, this All-Star Weekend will certainly not be easy. Curry's shooting ability is so perverted, the whole world has witnessed it. In the last game, even facing Yiyang's defense, Curry also shot a terrifying 16-for-10. In the three-point contest, without any defense, Curry's score will definitely be abnormally high!

The challenge that Yiyang himself accepted this year was not easy at all.

※※※

Because this year’s All-Star weekend happened to “perfectly” avoid the winter break of the Italian League, Vignari could not be there this year to share with Yiyang one of the few happy hours of the season.

However, this wife who has just been married for less than a year does not feel a pity at all. Because she has decided that she will not renew her contract with Lazio.

"What!? Are you really planning to retire!?" There was no one in the training hall, and basketballs were scattered around. Yiyang sat on the wooden floor with a surprised expression.

"Yeah, after playing this season, I don't plan to renew my contract anymore! From now on, I will be by your side every day, and it won't be just anymore!" Vignali doesn't seem to feel sorry, maybe for the Chinese, Work is very important. But for Italians, life is the most important thing.

"Are you ready to be a full-time wife?" Yiyang smiled. Even if Vignali doesn't have to work, their family won't have any financial burden. But the term "full-time wife" doesn't seem to match Vignali's age.

"Full-time wife? Of course not! I, I decided to be a graphic model! Take some advertising shooting, and I can do some investment. After all, I am the daughter of a businessman! Although these jobs are also very busy, But at least, we don't need to separate the two places for a long time!" Vignali's eyes beamed, looking forward to the future.

"Really? It's good too. It's just...can you really put down basketball?" Yiyang knows that the difference between Vignali and other girls lies in her love of basketball.

"So, can you put down the basketball?" Vignali did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

Yiyang was speechless, and he couldn't answer this question.

"The two of us are destined to have one person who must put down basketball. But I know that that person can only be me. In fact, not playing professional leagues, it is not completely put down basketball. I will not put down basketball, but I am willing Put down your current job."

This time, Vignari's tone was very serious. It seems that this girl has already considered very clearly.

"Vig..."

"what's wrong?"

"I'll wait for you to come back!"

"Hey, I'll be back soon. And after this time, I'll never leave again! By the way, how are the preparations for the three-point contest?" Two professional basketball games, the topic of conversation is always basketball. .

Yiyang looked at the scattered basketballs and the sweat on his jersey, and smirked. "I don't know how to practice three-pointers at all, because I feel like I'm practicing every day. Shooting is impossible to change in a few days. I just hope that you don't play abnormally on the day of the game."

"You have picked a strong enemy this time, also."

Yes, a very powerful enemy. He is facing an epoch-making three-pointer. But so what?

"If the opponent is not strong, the game will be boring!"

Yiyang said, went outside the three-point line, picked up the basketball, and threw it with one hand.

The basketball is hollowed into the net through a wonderful arc without any muddle.

Using a three-pointer to decide victory or defeat is the first time Yiyang has played basketball for so many years.

After the boring celebrity games and rookie games, the real appetizer of the NBA All-Stars is about to start, that is, three individual events: skill challenge, three-point contest and slam dunk contest.

Due to the basketball trend of the league in recent seasons, three-pointers can be described as a popular way to play in the basketball world today. Every strong team in the league has a three-point trick, especially the Warriors’ Splash brothers, they are even more so this season. Set off a revolution about three points. As a result, the NBA All-Star Weekend three-point contest has attracted more and more attention from fans. This year, with the addition of Yiyang, the popularity of the three-point contest has even surpassed the tasteless dunk contest.

It's a coincidence that Yiyang just saved the declining dunk contest a few years ago. As a result, this year, he came to save the three-point contest again.

The NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest was held in 1986. At the beginning of the event, the championship was organized by one person for three consecutive years. That's right, he is the "Force King" of the League, "Big Bird" Larry Bird. During the game, Bird didn't even take off his training uniform. He shot on the field and successfully defeated the opponent. At the moment when the ball was not scored, he had already pretended to raise his hand to signal to the audience. Of course, there is also that sentence. The most classic pretending to be a famous saying: Are you here to compete for second place?

I don't know if it was too deeply influenced by Larry Bird. Curry was also very "forced" before the start of this year's game.

"I came here to win the championship. I know and I am eager to beat me, but that can't be done just by talking." Before the game, facing the reporter's camera, Curry looked relaxed.

This year’s three-pointer contest is regarded as the brightest ever participating lineup, bringing together the league’s current best pitchers, the Warriors’ “splash brothers” Curry and Klay Thompson, and the Eagles’ white shooter Kovo Er, Harden of the Rockets, Irving of the Cavaliers, Redick of the Clippers, Matthews of the Trail Blazers, plus Yiyang who replaced the defending champion Belinelli! This makes this three-point contest a truly shining star!

However, even with so many powerful opponents, Curry is very confident~www.novelmtl.com~ But the perverted Curry does have confident capital. He has made 161 three-pointers in the regular season this season. , Tied for first place in the league with Korver and Matthews. But you have to know that the defense Curry suffered is unmatched by Korver and Matthews. It is not an exaggeration to say that Curry is the most accurate three-pointer in the regular season of all the contestants.

On the contrary, Yiyang, the most famous among all people, is the least favored. Because compared with others, Yiyang's desire to shoot outside the three-point line is simply very low. This has something to do with Yiyang who was not good at shooting three-pointers before. Although he is now, he still doesn't like to shoot.

Therefore, in most people's minds, Yiyang still cannot be equated with the word "shooter".

But he is the MVP, an MVP who has created countless impossible. Who said that MVP must not perform miracles in the three-point contest?

The "splash brothers" who came to the championship, eager for the shameful Yiyang, hoping to prove their own Harden, the strong Owen, plus the three pure shooters of Korver, Redick and Matthews Players.

This year's competition in the three-point contest is the fiercest ever. Can Yiyang, who participated in this event for the first time, get out of the siege?

The atmosphere on the scene has become more enthusiastic, and the shouts of fans almost broke Yiyang's eardrums.

But **** games are the correct way to open the All-Star Weekend!

Matthews has stepped into the stadium with the cheers of the fans, and the game has officially started! Yiyang, who was sitting on the bench, rubbed his hands. Today, he can't lose at all!
