291: Pivotal Names

Seeing James Jones scored 22 points, Durant stood up and applauded. Of course, Durant was very happy when he could help him fight Link in the three-point competition.

In fact, Durant is afraid of embarrassment if he doesn't participate in the three-point competition this year. After all, when he participated in the three-point competition last year, he scored only 6 points in a single round, almost breaking Boss Qiao's record.

In most cases, breaking Jordan's record is awesome to brag about for a lifetime, except for this record.

Durant knew the difficulty of the three-point competition, so he decided not to participate after careful consideration this year.

Now, Durant is of course happy to see Link being fought without being embarrassed!

In the end, Link, James Jones and Love entered the second round. Durant believed that James Jones could maintain his touch, and Love was not a fuel-saving lamp.

Although Love is the lowest three-point shooting percentage of the regular season among the players participating in the three-point competition this year, his 18-point performance in the first round is not bad at all. Therefore, it is bound to be difficult for Link to win the championship.

Durant thought Link's situation was even more difficult, but Link himself was much more relaxed than he had just now.

After a round of shooting, he had adapted to this kind of game atmosphere. Now, Link was relaxed all over and was just waiting for the game to begin.

"Today, just the first round of the game, there were two 20 points. Shaq, do you think someone can break the highest score record in the three-point competition today?" On the commentary stage, Barkley began to build momentum for the game. In the first round, Link and James Jones' "fairy fight" shocked Barkley. He was very much looking forward to something different in this year's three-point competition.

"It's very difficult. If you want to score more than 25 points with a full score of 30 points, it means that if you are lucky, you can only miss four goals at most. On average, four points can only miss one goal per point, and one point must get full score. If you are not lucky and miss two balls, you must get other balls. To be honest, this is too difficult. Even if I go to the free throw, I can't get more than 25 points." O'Neal spread his hands. This record has not been broken for so many years. It's not without reason.

It's really hard. If you don't have time limits to shoot slowly, many players may get full marks. But when there is time limit and pressure, it will be difficult for players to hit every shot.

Moreover, in the second round, the pitchers' physical fitness has also declined significantly, which has a huge impact on shooting stability. It is difficult to score 20+ points in the second round, let alone break the record.

This record is the same as Jordan's 5 points, and is basically unlikely to be broken.

In this hot atmosphere, the second round of the game officially began.

The first one to play was Love, who scored the lowest score in the previous round. Love didn't perform very well in the second round, and only shot one ball. It can be seen that his physical fitness affected his shooting stability.

Don’t think that shooting is an easy job. Continuous and fast shooting is also very exhausting. Physical strength is one of the important factors that determine the shooting percentage.

In the end, Love only scored 16 points in the second round, 2 points less than the previous round.

After Love finished the ball, he shook his head and walked off the court. He knew he had messed up. Love walked to the bench and slapped Link with high fives and said, "Let's see you next, man."

It seems that Love is still very Buddhist in participating in the competition this year.

Link nodded slightly and responded, then stepped into the court and took two deep breaths.

Now, Link was full of energy, breathing smoothly and extremely calm. He put his hand next to the basketball and waited for the buzzer to make a sound!

The moment the beep sounded, Link immediately picked up the basketball and raised his hand to shoot. For a moment, there seemed to be no sound in his ears. This means that he is extremely focused and completely unaffected by the surrounding environment.

Under such circumstances, Link made all the first four shots in the first point! But the last ball was very regrettably framed!

Although it was a pity, Link was not affected and continued to run to the next point.

At 45° on the right, Link hit the iron first as soon as he came up. But he adjusted the next few balls and hit all of them. When he hit the ball, Link deliberately paused and took a steady pace before he took a calm move.

This time, there was no accident in the flower ball, and Link's second point was still 4 of 5 shots!

At the top of the arc, just like in the previous round, Link made all 5 shots in his favorite position! Love off the court kept applauding, Link's shot was as stable as a sophomore!

At 45° on the left, Link was still the first ball that was not adjusted and hit. But afterwards, he hit 4 consecutive goals!

At that moment, the cheers from the audience reached their climax. Durant was sweating profusely when he saw it. This guy is a monster!

"It's 20 points, Link scored 20 points with four points! In the first 4 points, he lost 3 goals in total! Let's see how Link performed at the last point!" Kenny Smith stood up excitedly. He no longer remembered when the last time it was so exciting in the three-point competition.

The league invited Link to replace Joe Johnson, which was the most correct thing they have done this year!

On the court, Link still didn't care about these cheers and his scores. He only knew that he had to grasp the last point!

So, at the bottom corner on the left, Link was as stable as ever. He was breathing smoothly and physically energetic, and at this time he had already fully heated up his hands.

The moment Link got the ball, he suddenly felt an indescribable pleasure.

The feeling of shooting from a long time is indeed addictive!

Link scored the first goal in the left corner, and he had tied his record of 21 points in the last round.

O'Neal opened his mouth wide. After watching the three-point competition for so many years, he rarely saw a player who shot much better in the second round than in the first round!

But Link's performance was not about to stop. In the second goal, Link took the ball calmly, and the basketball was still hollow!

"22 points! Is Link a chance to break the record!?"

The third and fourth goal, Link hit a continuous hit! His score reached 24 points. If he scored the last ball, he could break this record that no one has surpassed since 1986!

Durant stood up directly, he couldn't believe what he had just seen. Why did that guy Link always turn decay into magic?

The fans of the audience held their breath, and Barkley was so excited that he almost climbed onto the commentary stage.

Because Link didn't shoot fast, he didn't have much time left in the end. For the last ball, Link just took the ball and the red light on the rebound lit up. This is equivalent to a key ball, and the pressure is no less than the final shot.

But Link was very calm from beginning to end. He stared at the red light on the rebound, and his right hand still maintained his posture when he shot.

Then, in the shocked eyes of fans all over the world, the basketball fell into the net in hollow!

"Oh! He did it! He did it! Great performance moment, great Link! 26 points, Link scored 26 points! He broke the highest scoring record in the NBA three-point competition, and he is the three-point leader this year!"

The next second, the audience was boiling, and the cheers like waves slapped Link's face. He raised his arms and enjoyed the moment of glory that belonged only to him!

A bunch of NBA stars who were watching the game couldn't help but rush to the court to hug Link. Link threw a pack of explosives in the stadium by shooting.

26 points, the highest scoring record of the NBA All-Star Three-Point Competition. Link did a big deal when he participated in the three-point competition for the first time.

Durant was stunned on the court, feeling his saliva was about to overflow, so he remembered to shut up and breathe. What was going on? What happened just now? Why did this guy break the record!

Durant felt embarrassed when he remembered that he almost broke the lowest record last year, but today Link broke the highest record today.

He sat on the bench with a dark face, and was out of place with the people around him who were cheering.

After Link broke the record, James Jones obviously lost his energy. He only scored 16 points in the last appearance, starting high and closing low. Therefore, as everyone expected, Link became the three-pointer of this year!

The three-point competition was blown up the entire stadium in advance. This situation is really rare in the history of the All-Star Weekend. There is no way, who made Link in this game?

Link stood in the middle of the court and held up the three-point championship trophy amid the cheers of the fans.

For the second consecutive year, Link received honors on All-Star Weekend. Barkley joked, "This guy is simply a real All-Star player!"

The first Chinese three-pointer, the name of Link, the creator of the new scoring record of the NBA three-point competition, will occupy a very important position in the history of the three-point competition.

Durant did not see Link lifting the trophy because he left silently after Link broke the record.
