Durant’s first spot went well, making 3 of 5 shots, including the money ball, for a score of 4.

The maximum score for 5 shots at one spot is 6, which is already a very good result.

The fans at courtside also seemed a little excited at this time. Durant only scored 6 points in total last year, and he’s already got 4 points in one spot this year.

His touch dropped off a bit at the second spot, only making 2 of 5 shots, and failing to hit the money ball.

He took the ball and shot at the third spot at the top of the key.

"Swish!"

The first shot went straight through the net.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and Westbrook on the sidelines stood up with both hands raised.

This was Durant's 7th point, and he had already surpassed his 6 points from last year!

Surpassing last year's score in 3 spots, he was redeeming himself.

Making that shot put Durant in a hot state, and he made all four shots before the last one at this spot. It was a bit of a pity that he missed the money ball, but his score quickly climbed to 10 points.

When he got to the fourth spot, his touch continued to explode, making all five shots, bringing his score to 16 points!

The emotions of the fans at the scene were quickly ignited. Durant not only wanted to redeem himself, but was really aiming for the championship as he said in yesterday's interview!

Getting 6 points in the first year and winning the championship in the second year, a rise after a fall, this experience will definitely make his popularity skyrocket!

Durant's touch cooled down a bit at the last spot, but he still made 4 of 5 shots, including the final money ball, bringing his individual score to 21 points.

The cheers continued throughout the arena.

The maximum score in the three-point contest is 30 points, and 21 points is already a very high score. Considering that he missed 2 money balls, making 18 of 25 shots, it was a very high shooting percentage.

And you also have to consider that he was the first to appear, the superstar effect is obvious.

When he finished shooting and went off the court, Westbrook came over and roared at him twice, and then punched him in the chest repeatedly. He was really excited for his brother.

Durant's face was full of smiles, and he did not forget to turn his head and glance at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian smiled at Durant when he saw the little smugness in his eyes.

The league's three-point shooting is not as perverted as it will be in the future, and 21 points is indeed a very good score.

But after seeing Durant's look, he suddenly changed his mind.

He originally wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly and directly reap the rewards, but now he wanted to use another way to make Durant completely remember this game tonight.

After Durant, it was Love's turn. Love doesn't rely solely on three-pointers like Anderson, so he will be relatively less competitive in this kind of competition.

But after the game started, he amazed everyone, making all five shots directly at the first spot!

There was constant whistling at the scene.

In addition to ability, the three-point contest also depends on form, and Love continued his hot form from the game to the All-Star arena!

Although he fluctuated a bit at the next few spots, he still scored a high score of 18 points.

With the first two people scoring so high, the players behind him suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

The third to play was defending champion James Jones.

Jones' strength in the NBA can only be considered third-rate, but he has a calm personality and is a typical locker room leader, so this kind of competition is very suitable for him.

James and Wade were both on the sidelines at this time. They were eating snacks before, but immediately put them aside after seeing Jones on the court.

Jones made 2 of 5 at the first spot, and his form looked average.

But from the second spot onwards, his accuracy continued to improve, and he made all 5 shots at the last spot, setting his score at 22 points!

The scene instantly exploded.

James jumped up to cheer for his friend.

22 points is a score that would be enough to win the championship in most three-point contests.

"Such a performance definitely lives up to everyone's expectations."

Barkley said with his mouth wide open at the sidelines at this time.

"Yes, this is the most top-notch three-point duel."

Reggie Miller, also a three-point shooter, also gave a very positive response.

"But in this way, the pressure on the players behind will be very high."

Kenny Smith continued.

The scores of the first three people were 21, 18, and 22, which means that if you want to advance to the finals, you must score at least 18 points, which is a very high requirement.

"Kenny, what if your uncle is eliminated in the first round?"

Barkley continued to tease his partner at this time.

"No, he will advance."

Smith glanced at Tang Tian when he spoke.

He knew Tang Tian better than Barkley did, because they filmed the "Godfather" series together.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Tian's mentality is very stable, even more stable than Jones, so he has absolute confidence.

"Hey, man, you're always like this."

Barkley smiled and patted Smith on the shoulder. He had already thought about how to tease Smith after Tang Tian was eliminated in the first round.

Anthony Morrow was next to play after Jones. His three-point shooting was amazingly accurate, and he was highly anticipated by fans and was also considered a favorite to win by many.

However, the commentators were still very forward-looking. Morrow's mentality was obviously affected by the performance of the first three people, and he only scored 14 points in the end, and was eliminated in the preliminary round.

After Morrow finished shooting, the cheers at the scene suddenly became louder.

The next one was Ryan Anderson, who was playing as the host.

Anderson's performance in the first three spots was very stable, and he had accumulated 12 points.

But in the last two spots, his form fluctuated, and in the end, as the money ball bounced off the rim, his score was set at 17 points, and he was eliminated with a difference of 1 point.

The fans on the sidelines shook their heads, and Smith and Barkley also felt sorry for Anderson.

This is another difficult part of the three-point contest. 25 balls may not seem like much, but rapid-firing within a minute consumes much more energy than imagined.

When Tang Tian got up, the whistles and catcalls at the scene exploded directly.

The feud between Durant and the "Godfather" was in this round of the competition.

At this time, the reactions of the All-Stars who came to the scene were different.

Parker came to support as a teammate, reaching out and cheering for Tang Tian.

Wade admired Tang Tian very much, and his eyes were also full of anticipation at this moment.

However, James, who was on the side, was biting his fingers and chatting with Durant, seemingly indifferent.

Durant's eyes kept glancing at the court from time to time, looking a little nervous.

Tang Tian walked to the first spot, attracting almost everyone's attention.

"Beep!"

A short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and Tang Tian's three-point contest officially began.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian also used a jump shot. His shooting motion was very fast, and the arc was particularly straight. This first ball almost went through the net.

And it wasn't just this one ball, the next few balls were like this.

He made all five shots in the first spot and got 6 points!

There was a stir at the scene.

Winslow's eyes started to light up.

This opening was a bit of a show.
