00:00ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА
00:3068%. How are you going to take this strategy?
00:33I mean, I'm learning from the GOAT right here.
00:34You know, I'm just excited to be out here and do what we do.
00:38All right, Giselle, Gigi Banks, you've got a great connection from Delaware.
00:42What's the great connection you're going to feel right at home here tonight?
00:44You know, we're just going to try to build chemistry, get the dove.
00:47I'm here with pros, so I'm just following them.
00:49Okay.
00:49She went to the same high school as Elena Deladon, and she played in the DMV, too,
00:53so we got the DMV energy here for you tonight.
01:00If you get Cooper, it's Shakira Austin, Giselle, Gigi Banks,
01:05and Elena Deladon, Team Washington.
01:09You may begin on the DJ's Cube.
01:13Three, two, one.
01:16All right, here we go.
01:17So they start on spot one.
01:19You see those passes from Coop on the money.
01:22Everybody shoots once.
01:24Whether they make or miss, they shoot once from each spot,
01:28except for the seventh spot, which is worth the most points.
01:32They get to shoot until their time expires.
01:36The player who might get most tired out here is Cynthia Cooper,
01:39especially with some of those longer passes.
01:42She's not getting a break.
01:43These are on the money, though, these passes from Coop.
01:46Which is impressive, considering Coop wasn't known for her passing.
01:49She was known for her scoring, Ryan Ruko.
01:52All right, 13 points thus far.
01:54Make it 15.
01:55Into the corner they go.
01:56Remember, they have to keep the same order the entire time.
02:01If they mess up the order, well,
02:05they are disqualified now from the seventh spot.
02:08They get to keep shooting over and over and over again
02:13until the time is done.
02:15These are all worth four points,
02:17and they're hitting these logo threes with regularity.
02:20EDD going into the hall this summer.
02:23She's still got it.
02:24One more.
02:25Why not?
02:27Elena Deledon putting on a show from near half court.
02:33And Team Washington with a very impressive 35.
02:39I did not expect them to shoot like this from seven-point range.
02:42How about Gigi Banks, the high schooler with the deep one?
02:48Makes a second one, and then EDD as well.
02:53All right, Team Washington, a strong opener.
02:57Who will be up next?
03:01Up next with team passer Teresa Weatherspoon,
03:04it's Jessica Shepard, Morgan Reckley,
03:07and Deanna Tweedy Nolan, Team Dallas-Detroits.
03:12You may begin on the DJ's Cube.
03:15Three, three, three, two, one.
03:18All right, we know 35 is already on the board for Team Washington.
03:21The top two scores will advance.
03:24By the way, Rebecca, how about these high schoolers out here
03:27performing with legends and current all-stars and great pros?
03:32And fitting right in.
03:33Yeah.
03:34Ridiculous.
03:34Incredible.
03:35Pretty amazing.
03:37So Dallas and Detroit both represented here
03:41because of the relocation of the franchise.
03:45Tweedy Nolan, just amazing seeing her back on the floor.
03:49One of the absolute greats of the game.
03:51A three-time champ, a four-time all-star, five-time all-defense.
03:59And with her, you see Morgan Reckley, a 16-year-old,
04:02and then Jessica Shepard,
04:04who's having an incredible season in Dallas.
04:07We saw flashes of it in Minnesota,
04:09and she's become an all-star starter in Dallas this season.
04:14Now they are on that spot seven, each shot worth four points.
04:1935 is the number to beat.
04:22Shepard unable to hit,
04:23not having the same success from four that Team Washington did.
04:28And that's going to do it.
04:29No makes from spot seven for Team Dallas-Detroit.
04:34And 20 total points there for them.
04:38Before we got started,
04:40Teresa Weatherspoon was talking to me
04:41about how serious she was taking her passing.
04:44And you take a look at here,
04:45she's coaching him up, too.
04:47No, you go from three to the number four.
04:50Gets him there,
04:51and then try to get all the passes out of the body from Spoon.
04:55All right.
04:56Time to send things back to Tim Sinclair.
05:00All right.
05:01Up next with Team Passer Cynthia Cooper
05:03is Courtney Williams, Ryan Carter,
05:06and Rebecca Brunson.
05:07Team Minnesota.
05:12You may begin on the DJ's Cube.
05:15Three, two, one.
05:17All right.
05:18Courtney Williams, Rebecca Brunson,
05:20and young Ryan Carter, 17 years old.
05:26I'll tell you what.
05:27Clip is, she's got a lot of urgency in these passes.
05:31She's setting up these Minnesota players for success.
05:35Yeah, without question.
05:36Right on the money, firing it right in there.
05:38I was curious if Courtney Williams
05:39was going to wear the sunglasses for the competition right now.
05:42How bright are these lights
05:44after the Stud Buds got their weekend started yesterday?
05:46That's right.
05:47The Stud Buds doing their live stream
05:50all weekend long.
05:53Brunson able to hit.
05:55Into the corner they go.
05:56Oh, they've done it efficiently.
05:57So they should have a lot of time on spot seven.
06:01Look at all this time.
06:03Every one of these shots made is worth four points.
06:06And while you get just one attempt each
06:08on the other six spots,
06:10here you can shoot until the clock expires.
06:14But the last two groups,
06:14it shows you how ridiculous the Washington squad was
06:18with the amount of four-pointers they were able to hit.
06:20You're right, because none of these were made
06:22by Team Dallas, Detroit, and Minnesota
06:25hasn't hit one yet either.
06:28And they're going to need this to have a chance to move on.
06:30They don't.
06:32So Team Minnesota officially eliminated
06:34as they are unable to reach 20.
06:38And Courtney Williams is going to get to go join
06:40Atisha Heidemann live.
06:42Here's the one four-pointer that they were able to make
06:45from the seven spot again.
06:47Bringing the high school energy.
06:50Enjoying what she's seeing.
06:52Courtney Williams exhausted afterwards.
06:56Russell Westbrook talking her through it.
07:03Now, the final team,
07:05with team passer Teresa Weatherspoon,
07:07it's Blau-Jay Johnson,
07:09Tatiana Tanti-Griffin,
07:10and Lauren Jackson,
07:12Team Seattle.
07:14You may begin on the DJ's Cube.
07:18Three, two, one.
07:21I mean, seeing Lauren Jackson back playing,
07:25it's just amazing.
07:26Last played in 2012 in the W,
07:29a Hall of Famer,
07:30inducted in 2020,
07:31and out there with Blau-Jay Johnson,
07:34who's having a terrific rookie season.
07:36And then another one of the Nike EP YL High School players,
07:41Tatiana Griffin.
07:43Jackson, you see right there,
07:45just the smoothest of strokes.
07:47Now, they need to beat 20 to advance to the final round.
07:55Team Washington with an absurd 35.
07:58They are through into the final round.
08:01Then Team Seattle joined them at 15 already,
08:05with a lot of time left and four-pointers to come.
08:08Roger buries the three.
08:11Lauren Jackson can't hit that one.
08:12They just need one of these to go.
08:14Nearly shot out of order there.
08:16But we're able to just time it up.
08:19They just need one make from here.
08:21Oh!
08:22And the high schooler gives it to them.
08:24With that make,
08:26Tatiana Griffin puts Team Seattle
08:29into the championship round
08:32with a score of 26.
08:47Here it was.
08:48They needed just one of these to go down.
08:50Oh, from seven.
08:52Spot seven.
08:54Worth four.
08:54Spot seven.
08:56Yeah.
09:00Yeah.
09:03It'll be Seattle
09:04and Washington
09:07in the championship round.
09:19And let's take a look at tonight's power player
09:22brought to you by Kraft Power Mac.
09:25Team Washington's performance was just incredible.
09:28Lana Deladon hit three four-pointers
09:31and they had a big-time cushion.
09:35The final is coming up.
09:36Team Washington,
09:38Team Seattle

10:53of the game,
10:53Lauren Jackson,
10:54giving you your flowers.
10:55What was she saying to you?
10:56You know,
10:57she was just telling me
10:57to shoot,
10:58but I told her in the beginning,
10:59you know,
10:59we're going to always
11:00take care of the old head.
11:01So me and Flaje did.
11:02We need to do
11:02the take care of the old head.
11:04Okay.
11:05You know,
11:05she only retired in 2024,
11:07so I...
11:07It's all right.
11:08She's still old head.
11:09It's fine.
11:09Okay, okay, okay.
11:10You said it,
11:10not me.

11:22They're going to be
11:22great for a long time,
11:24and they're going to be
11:24great in this week.
11:25I can't wait to see them.
11:26Okay,
11:26how can they be great right now?
11:28Lauren,
11:28you're as competitive
11:29as anyone we've ever seen
11:30in this league,
11:31one of the goats of the W.
11:32How do you get out here
11:33with the win right now?
11:35I'm relying on these two.
11:37I'm giving it my very best,
11:39but the knees
11:40aren't working real well.
11:41It's okay.
11:42The shot looks good.
11:43It's okay.
11:44They got you.
11:45Maybe you really are
11:46the old head.
11:47Darn it.
11:48Back to you, Ryan.
11:49All right, Holly.
11:50Thank you very much.

12:00with the lower score,
12:01just Team Seattle,

12:04It is time
12:05for the final round
12:06of PNW NBA
12:07Shooting Stars.
12:08Up first
12:09is Team Seattle.
12:12You may begin
12:13on the DJ's Cube.
12:153, 2, 1.
12:18All right, here we go.
12:19Remember,
12:20they haven't passed the ball.
12:22T-Spoon was late there.
12:24Yeah, cost their team
12:25four seconds,
12:26trying to make up for it
12:27with some velocity
12:28on those next passes.
12:29It should be like soccer.
12:31They should add those
12:31four seconds
12:32and extra time.
12:33Stoppage time
12:34right there.
12:34All right, very good.
12:35Remember,
12:36they have to keep
12:36the same order.
12:37So, spots 1, 2, 3.
12:40The points are worth
12:422 when they're inside the arc.
12:44When they're from
12:44three-point range,
12:45they're worth 3,
12:46except for spot 7,
12:48which is worth 4.
12:50As Lauren Jackson
12:51can't hit there.
12:52How about these
12:53young players though?
12:54I mean,
12:54Tatiana Griffin
12:55is the number one
12:56player in the class
12:57of 2028
12:58according to SportsCenter's
12:59next one underranking.
13:00So impressed
13:00with their poise
13:01and the way
13:02they're coming out
13:02and performing
13:03and their willingness
13:04to call legends
13:05old heads as well.
13:07T-Spoon didn't give
13:08the ball to
13:09Lauren Jackson.
13:11Stop picking on T-Spoon!
13:12I'm just saying,
13:13Chi-Chi,
13:14her passes have been
13:15a little late.
13:15You know I love Spoon.
13:17They're going to need
13:18some of these
13:18four-pointers
13:19at 24 right now.
13:21Can they add
13:22one or two of them?
13:23That one nearly banks in.
13:25Three seconds left.
13:28Tatiana's heave.
13:30And no one able
13:31to hit from
13:32the 7 spot,
13:34which is worth 4
13:35for Team Seattle.
13:37They come in
13:38with a 24.
13:42Yeah, I mean
13:43this was after
13:43the clock started
13:44and she's like
13:44oh, whoa, I gotta go.
13:46When I was talking
13:46to T-Spoon
13:47before the competition
13:47she was so into this
13:49and she would say
13:50she's like
13:50I owe Coop one.
13:52I owe Coop
13:52because of the times
13:53Houston beat New York
13:54in the championship.
13:55She's going to be
13:56upset with herself about that.
13:57Yes, she is.
13:57Yes, she is.
14:00Up next is Team Washington
14:01with a score to beat
14:03of 24.
14:06You may begin
14:07on the TJ's Cube.
14:09Three, two, one.
14:11All right, here we go.
14:1325 to win
14:14for Team Washington.
14:16They put up 35
14:19in the opening round.
14:20By the way,
14:21I'm just impressed.
14:22Elena Deladon
14:23is your only legend
14:23willing to show her legs.
14:25Everybody else
14:26had the tearaways still on.
14:28I think the way
14:29Edd has shot it
14:30she's going to get some calls.
14:32I believe she should be.
14:33W Teams,
14:35the All-Star break.
14:36Wow, how about that three?
14:38Dropping for Gigi Banks.
14:40Oh, Team Washington
14:43once again dialed in
14:44already at 18.
14:46Edd, it's another three.
14:48They're at 20 right now.
14:51Now in the corner,
14:53they can win it right here.
14:55All right, they need
14:56two to win it.
14:57That's going to mean
14:58one four-pointer.
14:59Deladon can in.
15:01Austin in and out.
15:0319 seconds to do it.
15:05And they have.
15:06There you go.
15:08Gigi Banks
15:09buries the four-pointer.
15:12And Team Washington
15:14has already sealed the win

17:57What is next for you?
17:59What are your hopes
17:59and dreams at this level?
18:01Honestly,
18:01a Nike championship.
18:02We're here to fight for that,
18:03so that's the next thing.
18:04Okay.
18:05That's the next step
18:06here in Chicago,
18:06and the passing
18:08was on point.
18:09I'm not calling out
18:10any names,
18:11but there were
18:11some mistakes made,
18:12and you did not make them.
18:14How were you able
18:14to really help your team
18:15with the velocity
18:17and the passing?
18:18Well,
18:19I had great shooters
18:20first and foremost.
18:21They were ready,
18:22had their hands ready.
18:23I just wanted
18:24to do two things.
18:25I wanted to put that ball
18:26in their pocket,
18:27their shooting pocket,
18:28and then secondly,
18:28I wanted to give them
18:29as much time
18:30at the seven point
18:31that I could give them.
18:33Of course.
18:34Of course you had
18:34a strategy for this.
18:35How beautiful.
18:36Of course you did.
18:37That's why you're a goat
18:38and a legend in this league.
18:39Thank you, everybody.
18:40Give it up.
18:41That was spectacular.
18:42Well done, ladies.
18:47All right, Oli.
18:48Good stuff.
18:49Congratulations
18:50to Team Washington.
18:52Shakira Austin,
18:52Elena Deladon,
18:54Gigi Banks,
18:55and the passer.
18:56Hoop!
18:57With them on the money.
18:59Time to send things
19:00over to studio.
19:01Malika, Monica,
19:02Drea, and Jhene.
19:04Ryan, thank you
19:06so very much.
19:07That was so incredibly
19:08impressive
19:09what we saw there
19:10from Team Washington.
19:11Yes, of course,
19:11Elena Deladon.
19:12Yes, Shakira Austin.
19:13But for 17-year-old
19:15Gigi Banks
19:16to come out here
19:17to be the person
19:18to make the first
19:19half-court shot
19:20that we saw,
19:20Jhene,
19:20put that into perspective
19:21in front of this crowd.
19:23They're built different.
19:24The future has arrived.
19:26And this is just
19:27a beautiful celebration
19:28of women's basketball.
19:30The past,
19:31the present,
19:31and the future
19:32is literally bright.
19:33I love to see it.
19:34And last thing I'll say,
19:34Edith still got it.
19:35I don't know what she says.
19:37She got four from the four points.
19:38Three of four.
19:39She had three in a row.
19:40Absolutely amazing.
19:41All right,
19:42so now we have
19:42the three-point contest
19:43that is coming up next year.
19:45We have three different picks.
19:47Anyone want to make
19:48any adjustments?
19:49How are we feeling
19:49going into the three-point contest
19:51after we got the first
19:52competition out of the web?
19:54That was so much fun.
19:55Gigi was so good.
19:57Who was able to soak up
19:59the energy
19:59during that first competition
20:00and harness it
20:01as they head into the second?
20:02Right?
20:03That's what I'm thinking.
20:03I'm not going to change
20:04my pick, though.
20:05I like Marina.
20:05All right,
20:06second on Marina.
20:06I'm going to change my pick.
20:06But I do think
20:07what Koov mentioned
20:08about the speed of it,
20:09that also comes into playing
20:10this three-point shooting contest
20:11and where your money ball is.
20:12Like, the strategy is huge.
20:14Well, we talked to Marina
20:15and what did Marina say?
20:16She said,
20:17I'm going to step this certain way,
20:18maybe left foot first.
20:19Yeah.
20:20So this is a very
20:21technical competition.
20:23She's keeping the rack
20:23on the right
20:24so that she's able to do that.
20:25And then shooting off
20:26of a rack versus a pass
20:27is very different.
20:29So we got to see.
20:30Yeah.
20:30Well, okay, so
20:31you heard Koov just say
20:32you get the ball in your...
20:33Oh, our beautiful glitter ball.
20:34You get it in your shooter's pocket
20:35with some momentum
20:36you can step into that, right?
20:37Like, coming off the rack,
20:38you've got to get your footwork right
20:39so that you're gathering
20:40to pull it off the rack
20:41and getting your footwork squared.
20:43Some people just pull
20:44and have their feet set already
20:45and jump from a jumping position.
20:47Girl, be delicate.
20:48Be delicate.
20:48Because if you're
20:49a right-handed shooter
20:49and you pull for the left
20:51you have to do this
20:52and set
20:52and every second matters
20:53whereas if you pull from the right
20:54you're right there.
20:56So these are the decisions
20:57that have to make.
20:57Another thing I'm talking to
20:58some people that participated in
20:59is you can't just see...
21:00You can't look and see
21:01if it went in.
21:02You've got to immediately
21:02try to keep going again
21:04because of that speed
21:04and staying in rhythm.
21:05And so you picked the rookie.
21:06We've never seen a rookie win
21:08a three-point contest
21:09here at WNBA All-Star Weekend.
21:10You picked Daisy Fudd.
21:11Do you think that that rhythm
21:12having that understanding
21:13of shooting off of the rack
21:14is going to come into play
21:15at all here
21:16for, you know,
21:17since it's glitter,
21:17the people's princess?
21:19Okay, Daisy Fudd.
21:21And also we saw her
21:22under high pressure situations
21:24at UConn.
21:25Another big expectation
21:26in Dallas.
21:27She has delivered
21:28so I'm not changing my pick, y'all.
21:30She said I'm sticking with it.
21:31I am staying with my pick here.
21:34But this is also...
21:35This is one of the most
21:36fun pieces of the night.
21:38Getting to see this
21:38because the crowd
21:39when a player gets going
21:41and starts finding their rhythm...
21:42Can we give them a little bit
21:44of love to Janelle Salon
21:45and the Golden State Valkyries?
21:47Because this is a team
21:48where they have a player
21:49that's tremendous
21:50coming off of the bench
21:51and just as a straight bucket.
21:53And if you saw the reaction
21:54of the Valkyries
21:54for her being selected,
21:56it's not just being an all-star.
21:57It's being able
21:58to participate in these moments.
21:59What a bright spot for them.
22:02Shooting,
22:03watching their teammates
22:03on the sidelines,
22:04cheer them on
22:05and go crazy.
22:06Pay attention to the sidelines
22:07because the teammates,
22:08they're so much fun.
22:09Do we have a camera
22:10on these intros
22:11as waves are coming in?
22:12I was actually pointing
22:12to Cynthia Cooper
22:13meeting Gabby Williams
22:14in the tunnel.
22:15And just the energy
22:16as we look at the sideline,
22:17you guys,
22:18how many veterans
22:19have shown up,
22:19how many different players
22:20have shown up.
22:21It's just such a celebration.
22:22It's the Angel Reese
22:23who is behind us.
22:24And Janelle right now.
22:26This is it.
22:27This is the moment.
22:29And they are ready.
22:31So are we.
22:32Let's send it back
22:33to Ryan Rucco

25:48Finally,
25:49a deep-shot artist

26:00one more time
26:01for tonight's contestants
26:02in the State Farm
26:04WNBA
26:05three-point contest.
26:08All right,
26:09let's take a look
26:09at our rules.
26:10Six players competing
26:11in a two-round time
26:12shooting competition.
26:13Four racks,
26:14four regular balls
26:15worth one point,
26:16one money ball
26:17worth two points,
26:18one rack
26:19with all money balls
26:21that the players
26:21get to choose
26:22where they place it.
26:23And then you'll have
26:24two from the logo shots
26:26which are worth
26:26three points each.
26:28The top two players
26:29advance to the final round.
26:31Now,
26:31earlier today,
26:33participants in the
26:33State Farm WNBA
26:35three-point contest
26:36signed this State Farm
26:38stanchion pad,
26:39scan the QR code now
26:41for your chance
26:42to win it.
26:44This competition
26:45is always incredible,
26:47has created some
26:49very memorable moments
26:50throughout this league's
26:51history in AZ Fudd.
26:52One of the few rookies
26:53to ever participate in it
26:55is with Holly.
26:57Well, AZ,
26:58you are a rookie
26:58in the league
26:59in this event,
27:00but you are already
27:01to a 38%
27:02in the three-point shooting
27:04this season in the league.
27:04How have you been able
27:05to come in
27:06with a different distance
27:06and really shine?
27:08I think just doing
27:09what I've been doing,
27:10being disciplined,
27:11being confident,
27:12and letting the ball fly.
27:13Okay, Coach Wariam
27:14pointed something out
27:15to me last game we did
27:16that your feet are so quick,
27:18you don't have that
27:18like kick-up step
27:19in your shot.
27:20How will that help you
27:21be quick on the racks?
27:23Yeah, I mean,
27:24I feel like this is all
27:24about rhythm and footwork
27:26and how you pick the ball up,
27:27so having good rhythm,
27:29getting your feet set,
27:30that's what's really
27:31important here.
27:32Okay, good luck.
27:33Thank you.
27:36Up first from the Seattle Storm
27:39is Natisha Heidemann.
27:45You may begin
27:46on the DJ's Cube.
27:48Natisha Heidemann,
27:49here we go.
27:50Eighth in the W
27:51and made threes this season.
27:54And starts in the corner.
27:57Interestingly,
27:58every player chose
28:01the wing
28:02for their all-moneyball rack.
28:04Here's Natisha Heidemann.
28:06Every one of these shots
28:07is worth two.
28:08This is an exclusively
28:10moneyball rack,
28:12and you can see why
28:13she loves the wing
28:13hitting her first two
28:14from there.
28:15It also gives you
28:15an opportunity to warm up
28:17from the corner
28:18but not get too tired
28:19where your legs
28:20might be failing you.
28:21Now, the from the logo shot
28:23is worth three.
28:26Heidemann
28:27went over on the first track,
28:30finding a little better
28:31rhythm since.
28:33Going to need to pick it up,
28:34though.
28:34That ball worth two.
28:36It's good.
28:37Natisha Heidemann,
28:38how about from the logo?
28:40Oh, no.
28:42Now from the wing
28:43with 11 thus far.
28:47Remember,
28:48Sabrina Ionescu's record
28:49from a few years ago
28:51at absurd 37.
28:53Likely won't need
28:54a number like that
28:55to win.
28:56But you usually need
28:57to tickle the mid-20s.
28:59Here's Heidemann.
29:02Did she get the last one
29:04off in time?
29:05I'm not sure.
29:06But she finishes
29:08with 17
29:10in round one.
29:12Saw her when she got
29:13to her money ball rack
29:14get a little bit
29:15of a rhythm as she,
29:16after not making any
29:18from the first rack.
29:20And that's what it is,
29:21is you get the rhythm.
29:22And she made three in a row
29:23from that top spot.
29:27So in with 17.
29:31Next up,
29:32Bridget Carlton.
29:33Next from the Portland Fire
29:35is Bridget Carlton.
29:40You may begin
29:41on the DJ's Cube.
29:43Three,
29:44two,
29:45one.
29:46Well, Carlton
29:47had a 7-3 game
29:48in mid-June
29:49against Seattle.
29:50And getting off
29:52to a good start
29:52here in the left corner.
29:53Hit her first two.
29:55Catchy at the money ball.
29:56Oh, yeah.
29:57And now the all-money rack.
30:00Wow.
30:01Carlton is dialed in.
30:02How about this?
30:03Bridget Carlton
30:06able to make
30:08four of five
30:09on the all-money rack.
30:13Carlton is going
30:14to blow by Heidemann
30:16early on.
30:18Carlton has already
30:19surpassed her.
30:21Bridget Carlton
30:22with 20
30:24and still
30:24a couple racks
30:26to go.
30:27From the wing
30:29connects.
30:30Carlton again.
30:33Bridget Carlton.
30:35Oh, yeah.
30:36The money ball.
30:37Unable to hit.
30:38Put 23
30:39already for Carlton.
30:41Now in the corner.
30:43Carlton
30:44piping up.
30:46Can she get
30:47the money ball to go?
30:49You bet.
30:56A sensational
30:58opening round
30:59from Bridget Carlton.
31:01And how about
31:02that final rack?
31:04Five balls.
31:05All of them
31:06able to be
31:07drained by Carlton.
31:08That's what you're
31:09supposed to be getting tired.
31:10Bridget Carlton
31:11was not tired.
31:14And she hit
31:15four in her money
31:16rack as well.
31:17What a performance
31:18from Carlton.
31:20Will take a lot
31:21to knock her
31:22out of the final.
31:24AZ Fudd,
31:25the rookie,
31:26is up next.
31:28Up next
31:29from the Dallas
31:30Wings
31:30is AZ Fudd.
31:34you may begin
31:35on the DJ's Cube.
31:37Three,
31:38two,
31:39one.
31:40Well,
31:40Fudd,
31:41the only rookie
31:41competing in this
31:43three-point competition.
31:45Just the fourth
31:46rookie ever to compete.
31:49And she has come out
31:51right on.
31:53Her strength is so
31:55incredibly pure.
31:56and it just looks
31:56so simple
31:57coming off her
31:58fingertips.
31:59The teammates
31:59from college,
32:02Galen Chen,
32:03Paige Beckers
32:03watching.
32:05Paige and AZ,
32:06of course,
32:07reunited in Dallas.
32:08Hit that
32:09from the logo
32:10shot,
32:10which is worth
32:11three.
32:13Needs to get
32:14at least 17
32:15to avoid
32:15elimination.
32:17And she's
32:18on her way.
32:18How about this
32:19from the logo
32:20delivery?
32:20No.
32:21Now,
32:22the exclusive
32:23Moneyball rack
32:24from the right wing.
32:25Each of these
32:26work two.
32:28Fudd gets
32:29another.
32:31AZ Fudd
32:32knows she
32:33at least
32:33has some time
32:34before elimination.
32:36Might need
32:36to buffer
32:37the score
32:37more to get
32:38to the final.
32:39Needs a big
32:40final rack.
32:41Is having it.
32:42How about
32:42the Moneyball?
32:43Oh, yeah!
32:45A very strong
32:4724
32:48from AZ Fudd.
32:55Impressive performance,
32:57especially for a rookie.
32:58We'll take a look
32:59at her first rack
33:00and her last rack.
33:01She bookended
33:02it very well.
33:04Four out of five
33:06in the first one.
33:07And then
33:07solid.
33:09You see KK Arnold,
33:10her former teammate,
33:11right there
33:11being her hype man.
33:14Paige Beckers
33:15as well.
33:16So AZ Fudd
33:18a very strong
33:1924.
33:20That eliminates
33:22Natisha Heidemann.
33:24Incredible performance
33:25from Bridget Carlton
33:26with 29.
33:28It was Carlton
33:29with the 29,
33:30not Natisha Heidemann.
33:31That graphic
33:32incorrect.
33:33So Carlton
33:34sitting pretty.
33:36AZ Fudd
33:36in strong position
33:38as well.
33:39Three shooters
33:39still to go
33:40in this first round.
