Chapter 132 Crazy three-point shooting contest!

After Li Ran completed four shots, he was guaranteed to qualify first in the preliminaries.

He actually gave up the shot at the last point and stood there, opening his hands to the surrounding people and celebrating.

After confirming that he was the first, Li Ran didn't even bother to shoot the ball at the last point.

What a crazy boy!

This was the first feeling of all the players and fans watching.

Only Swift, who was sitting in the front row, looked at Li Ran with eyes full of little stars and her face held in her hands.

Ross smiled helplessly.

This kid will never let go of an opportunity to be in the limelight if he can.

It seems that the label of humility and low-keyness that is embedded in the genes of Chinese people is not reflected at all in this kid.

But looking at the fans cheering crazily on the sidelines, it seems like Americans just accept this.

Amidst the uproar, the preliminaries of the three-point shooting contest ended.

Li Ran, Kapono, and Lewis entered the finals together.

In the final, Lewis, who had the lowest score in the preliminaries, took the lead.

He only scored 1 point on each of the first two points. However, he performed well after that. He scored 5 points on the last point and also made a ball shot, for a total of 15 points.

Then there's Kapono.

I don’t know why, but as a two-time three-point shot contest champion, Kapono was a little nervous and even dropped the ball once in the last round, resulting in the shot that could have been completed at the buzzer not being completed in the end.

When Kapono's score finally came out, the whole place was in commotion again.

Kapono's score was actually 15 points!

This means that there are only two possibilities for the final.

Li Ran scored more than 15 points and became the champion directly.

Or less than 15 points, Lewis and Kapono will have an overtime match!

However, the vast majority of fans believe that it is certain that Li Ran will score more than 15 points.

Li Ran was about to enter the venue when a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Anyway, I've already gone crazy once, so I don't care... just go crazy again."

He looked at the staff who were nervously preparing the basket and suddenly strode forward.

Under the gaze of countless people, Li Ran once again made an amazing move.

"Li Ran is here, what is he doing? Is he adjusting his shooting position? No..."

Director Zhang's next words were stuck in his stomach, and he looked at Li Ran's movements in horror.

Li Ran actually pulled the last two balls out of the court!

In an instant, the whole place erupted into deafening exclamations.

"What is Li Ran going to do?"

"Does he think that just three-point shooting can guarantee his championship?"

"He is too confident!"

You know, the current three-point shooting contest has not yet been reformed. It was only after 2014 that the league introduced full-color shooting rules.

In the current three-point shooting contest, each point has a fixed number of 4 ordinary balls and 1 colored ball, and the total score is 6 points.

Three points, all made, only 18 points!

To score at least 16 points out of these 18 points, even triple champions of the three-point contest such as Larry Bird and Craig Hodges, or the Splash Brothers who each won a championship in later generations, would not dare to say for sure.

It can be done!

Just like this, Li Ran stood majestically in the field with only three shooting spots.

Since there were only three points, Li Ran had plenty of time.

After the whistle started, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone subconsciously didn't want to disturb Li Ran and wanted to see if he could finish what he had boasted about.

The first ball was thrown smoothly and hit the net hollowly.

The second, the third, the fourth.

After shooting at the first point, Li Ran hit all five shots and scored six points.

The second point is still the same!

Li Ran had never felt that his hands were so hot. He felt that the basket in front of him was as wide as the ocean.

At the third point, as the ball hit the basket one after another, Li Ran's score continued to rise.

13 points, 14 points, 15 points.

By the time Li Ran got his 15th, the entire American Airlines Center was already boiling.

Even David Stern, who was watching the game in the box, felt himself getting excited.

Can this magical Chinese boy do it?

Only two balls left!

There seemed to be a sparkle in his eyes.

If Li Ran saw Stern's current state, he would have a very appropriate idiom to describe his current situation.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor!

But Li Ran didn't, and he didn't know the current situation on the sidelines at all.

The fans and players are going crazy!

This kind of performance is no better than any trash talk?

When the last ordinary ball was thrown, everyone's eyes were focused on the orange basketball.

"Whoa!"

The whole place was boiling.

16 points!

Three point king!

Li Ran watched the ordinary ball being thrown in and felt relieved.

Then, a burst of ecstasy came over me.

This is a bit of a throw!

Li Ran picked up the last colored ball and threw it into the air with all his strength.

I am the champion!

Three point shot champion!

Rose on the sidelines couldn't bear it any longer. He was the first to rush into the court and hugged Li Ran fiercely.

"Brother, you are so crazy. I have never seen anything so crazy! You are so stupid!" Ross shouted at Li Ran.

Swift put her hands against her chest and her eyes seemed to have hearts flashing.

She felt wet in some places.

This man is too handsome.

My eyesight is so good!

Stern watched Li Ran throw the last ball into the sky, and was a little surprised that he ended his last shot in this way.

Then, an unabashed smile appeared on the old Jewish man's face.

This guy is so interesting.

Then consider the unimaginably huge Chinese market behind him.

Stern hesitated on an idea for half a season, and finally decided on it at this moment.

For the entire NBA, the three-point shooting contest during the 2009 All-Star Weekend was not the one with the most points, nor was it the most famous among the participating players.

However, it is definitely the most legendary one!

When Li Ran scored the 16th point, this three-point shooting contest had already surpassed the first one.

It surpassed Larry Bird's classic line "Are you here to compete for second place?"

Everything is because of Li Ran's crazy performance.

Although Li Ran only scored 16 points in the final, only one point higher than Lewis and Kapono who had the same score, everyone knew-

In this game, Li Ran's performance was crushing!

Li Ran won this All-Star Game, his third honor.

Rookie Challenge MVP!

Skills Challenge Champion!

Three-Point Shootout Champion!

Next, there is a dunk contest waiting for him.

The atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena has become crazy, and all the fans are looking forward to what kind of surprises this magical oriental boy can bring them!
