Gordon's tremendous mate about the giant Tacko Fall only received 47 points: “I feel I should have two trophies.” Buddy Hield (Kings) takes the triple contest in the last launch and the pvot Bam Adebayo (Heat), the skills
Derrick Jones Jr., in one of his mates.
The forward of the Heat Derrick Jones Jr. super to the wing-pvot of the Magic, Aaron Gordon, and became the new champion of the All Star math contest. The title was decided with a good dose of suspense and controversy, then that several draws followed at 50 (the maximum possible score of the five judges) led to two additional attempts. The discreet 47 points in the decisive matte of Gordon, after a tremendous jump over the giant Tacko Fall, decanted the victory on the side of Derrick Jones Jr. to the disbelief of many, including Gordon himself.
Jones Jr. and Gordon scored a perfect 50 in their two mates of the final. Then they signed two more perfect scores on their first tiebreaker. The Heat player completed his third mate with a movement within the personnel line and rose decisively to a windmill action and with his left hand place the ball inside the basket, a matte that the five judges They scored with 48 points.
After a brief discussion with the mystic Shaquille O'NealGordon asked the rookie Celts pvot for help, the Senegal Tacko fall, and placed it near the basket. Gordon took the ball from Fall's hands on his way to a powerful mate through the center of the basket. Fans who filled the United Center cheered their action while the NBA stars, present in the field, began to celebrate.
But the judges gave him only 47 points and let Jones Jr. become the new math champion, 32 years later, also in Chicago, the legendary Michael Jordan also achieved the title with a historical matte that has been patented as the symbol in the history of the NBA contest.
While Gordon touched him again to lose the title in another math contest in the final after he was overcome in 2016 by the escort Zach LaVine, current player of the Bulls. The impression among NBA fans and celebrities was that Gordon was completely “stolen.”
Wade, sealed
The final mate he made also deserved the same score and, as happened in 2016 before LaVine, now neither did the judges do justice with their mate. “I don't know how to look good, or look for justifications,” Gordon said when asked if he wanted to win a math contest before retiring. “I feel I should have two trophies. My participation in this contest is over. My next goal is to try to win the three-point contest.”
Gordon's improvised mate about Fall was really spectacular and the one that had the most difficulty, hence the incomprehensible punctuation of the judges. The stars of the NBA admitted that it was the one that had the most courage and difficulty, in addition to being the one that best honored the historic achieved by Jordan in 1988 in the missing Chicago Stadium.
While now being remembered for becoming the biggest heist in the history of a Star Weekend. The former Heat escort, Dwyane Wade, which was part of the jury, has been pointed out through social networks as the true artifact that made possible the victory of Jones Jr. over Gordon.
Before the final in the first round the Pat players were eliminated Connaughton, of the Bucks, and the veteran pvot Dwight Howard, from Los Angeles Lakers, who replaced the Superman cape with the number 24 on the shirt and a ball with the same number in homage to Kobe Bryant.
Hield's last blow
The escort of the Sacramento Kings Buddy Hield prevailed in the triple contest beating in a heart attack final Devin booker Y Davis Bertans.
By scoring his last shot of the final, Hield sum 27 points and super by one the 26 that Booker, of the Phoenix Suns, winner of this contest in 2018 had won and that this year participated replacing by injury to Damian Lillard. The third participant in the final was the ala-pvot letn Davis Bertans (Washington Wizards), who stayed behind with 22 points.
