SAN FRANCISCO — Jalen Branson has not ruled out a return to the competition for three points after losing in his second attempt.
Knicks guard didn't pass the first round of Saturday after rushing through his final rack as time was low.
He finished with 18 points, with Miami's Tyler Hero emerging as his first champion, beating Golden State's Buddy Heard in the final.
“It started to get hot. I felt good. Then. Oops,” Branson said. “It feels like I've rushed through the last rack. You can practice everything you need, but once you get there it's a little different.”
Branson, who films 40% beyond the arc this season, was about to become the first nick and the first left-hander to win the competition. He might try again.
“Maybe. I don't know,” said Brunson, who joined Trent Tucker as the only Knicks to compete in two three-point contests. “I'll leave that door open.”
In the real game, Branson's efficiency has steadily improved since filming just 34.8% as a newcomer in Tray.
“There's no secret. I think every summer, “How can I become the most consistent and complete player I can, the most efficient player?” ” Branson said. “Talking with my shots and making sure I'm as comfortable as possible.”
Despite his three-point competitive finish, Branson enjoys his second All-Star experience since his debut in Indiana last year.
“It was good. Last year was my first year and I really didn't know what to expect. I think I'm actually enjoying it this time,” he said. “So it was fun having my family here. That's the best part.”
No one ruins the integrity of skill competition.
Chris Paul And Victor Wenbaniama He was booed and disqualified from a timed event for failing to carry out a legal shot attempt.
With a clear movement to cheque the system, Spurs Tandem fired a ball from the rack like hot potatoes. Considering whether I went near the hoop, I kept my time down so the shot section was the most time.
The strategy would have worked – their time was at a low point – apparently there appears to be a rule that the shots must be legal. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley He beat the Cavaliers.
Wenbanyama, a young Frenchman, claimed he was behind a suspicious plot.
Mac McClung To highlight his third straight slam dunk title, he jumped over the car for a reverse dunk.
McClung, who played just five minutes of NBA minutes with the Orlando Magic this season, bases Steffon Castle, Matas Buzelis and Andre Jackson Jr.
McClung is one show that won four perfect dunks on Saturday, but the issue with the competition is that the stars are far apart. It started with LeBron James And then I continue with Ja Morant.
