In the passionate music, the four contestants took turns to show and greet the audience, and the slam dunk contest officially began.

Guo Xu was the first to appear on the stage and received warm applause from the fans. No matter how beautiful the defending champion Zach LaVine's dunk is, his popularity can't be compared to a superstar like Guo Xu, who is just a role player for the Pelicans.

Along with Guo Xu, there is also the Ahri mascot, standing under the basket with a basketball. This is the mascot of the Fat Fox Group, not the NBA team, but Guo Xu was allowed by Xiao Hua to cooperate with the Fox.

The Lakers are one of the few three teams in the NBA that do not have a mascot, and Guo Xu's advertising does not affect the interests of the Lakers.

CCTV5's Zhang Reasonable said: "It seems that Jason's first dunk is ready to amplify the move, is this to dunk with the ball and leap over the mascot?" ”

Yao Ming is a guest commentator on CCTV5, he said: "The last dunk when Wall won the slam dunk contest was the folding back dunk of the flying mascot, I don't know what Guo Xu will add, but it is difficult to get a high score for a simple trapeze dunk." ”

After the audience saw LaVine's dunk, the level of the slam dunk contest in the past two years has been raised.

Aaron Gordon watched from the sidelines, his heart chuckling. He prepared a similar trick and planned to use it after entering the finals, if Guo Xu used the trapeze idea in advance, the effect would be greatly reduced when he did it again.

No one can say that Guo Xu is plagiarism, he had a leaping performance when he participated in the slam dunk contest in 2005. It's not a very creative move, and it's been done by European streetball players and AND1 players.

Guo Xu understands the principle of step-by-step, so he won't make a big move at the first button, this is just a warm-up.

He accelerated after a few small jumps on the spot, instantly increased his speed, jumped with both feet and flew over the mascot's head, picked up the basketball with his left hand, changed hands under his crotch to his right hand, and flew to the basket sideways to dunk the basketball into the basket.

The crowd on the sidelines, including many players, all showed incredible expressions. Timberwolves champion Towns has the most exaggerated expression, contributing a meme to tease B on the sidelines.

Today's judges are Maddie, Mutombo, O'Neal, "Magic" Johnson and George Gervin, and all five of them gave Guo Xu 10 points.

The difficulty of his buckle is greater than that of a tall player, because he is only 183CM tall, and his registered height is only 180CM, and there are still fans who say that he is "the strongest 180CM on the earth"!

"Zhuang Shen" Drummond appeared in the second game, and he chose to throw himself on the baseline and dunk himself, just a very ordinary half-turned backhand dunk. With Guo Xu Zhuyu in front, he only scored 36 points.

The four judges gave a low score of 7, and Mutombo gave a score of 8 for face, and the audience's reaction was also lukewarm.

Gordon came out on the third side, started on the right side and rushed to the basket, half-turned around and dunked the basketball under the crotch.

His action is very beautiful, much more difficult than Drummond's dunk, but not as shocking as Guo Xu's crotch change, after all, his height is 206CM.

O'Neal and the Magic only gave nine points, and Gordon scored 48 points on the first dunk.

Defending champion LaVine came out last, a beautiful behind-the-back hand-tossing and self-dunking, or flying from the right side of the basket to the left backhand dunk to score, and won a perfect score cleanly.

Drummond, who scored the lowest, came out on the second dunk and invited Nash, a retired star in casual clothes who was a spectator on the sidelines, to be his partner. At first glance, he didn't plan to enter the finals, and the dunk ideas were all improvized.

Nash showed off a wave of bouncing football footwork, then ran to pick the ball up with his heel, and Drummond followed up with a windmill dunk that took four times to complete.

Although the ball was smashed, it was not difficult to be high, it was not difficult to be difficult, and it was just for Nash to come out and play for a while.

Drummond scored another 38 points and was eliminated with a smile, and the audience gave him sporadic applause as a sign of encouragement.

Gordon didn't keep his second appearance and released his ultimate move early. He asked the mascot to hold the ball with one hand, step on the small electric pedal to spin in circles, and he held the ball with one hand and turned 360 degrees to dunk the basketball into the basketball.

This move was very beautiful and got a full score, but because of his strategic mistakes, he only scored 48 points in the first dunk, as long as Guo Xu and LaVine were full marks in the second dunk, he had to be eliminated.

At this point, Gordon regretted it very much, he was very confident in his bounce power, and his tricks were useless. He underestimated Guo Xu's ability, and when he competed, he thought that the final would definitely be between himself and LaVine.

Guo Xu played the third time, he threw the ball high on the left side, quickly rushed to the basket and jumped up to receive the ground rebound ball, his legs took two large steps in the air, his head was almost flat, and he smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Yu Jia shouted: "This ball is simply hanging Weiya, it feels like acting in a kung fu movie." ”

Yao Ming smiled: "It's really a bit like, he can shout a flying immortal outside the sky with a sword in his hand." ”

The creativity of this buckle is ordinary, and the main attraction is Guo Xu's jumping height and stretching movements, which are very beautiful.

Back then, Carter's reverse 360 degrees was regarded as a masterpiece because he was beautiful, and if he was really tall, he was not as good as his competitor Steve Francis.

TNT Radio's Barkley lamented: "The Flash has now become Superman and he looks like he can really fly. ”

Guest Reggie Miller said: "Jason is definitely the king of the sky in this competition, and his vertical bounce height is estimated to be more than 120CM just now. ”

Guo Xu conquered the audience, got a full score, and took the lead in the finals. The three competitors were surprised to see his performance, this is a 34-year-old veteran? Just kidding, right?

They asked themselves that when they were 34 years old, they would never jump as high as Guo Xu.

LaVine's second dunk was also an open catch, finding a friend to throw the ball at the free throw line, he ran from a long distance, jumped up with his foot on the free throw line, and scored the empty dunk with his right hand.

The idea of this ball is just as simple, the advantage is that the distance is long, the movement is extremely stretched, and the judges also gave full marks.

Gordon shook his head with a wry smile on the sidelines, his tricks were eliminated before he could perform, not because his strength was weak, but because his competitors were too tough.

In fact, in terms of dunk creativity, Gordon is better than LaVine, his height is the biggest disadvantage, and his dunk action is not as elegant as that of guard players.

The three of CCTV5 discussed that Guo Xu's bounce was stronger than when he was young.

Zhang Li asked Yao Ming: "What do you think is the reason?" Did he really practice Chinese Kung Fu? ”

Yao Ming smiled very embarrassed, of course he couldn't explain it.

Yao Ming thinks that this is probably really Chinese kung fu, and it is a Wudang faction, Guo Xu used Tiyunzong when dunking, and he also let Green "Wudang" in the regular season.

Entering the finals, LaVine was the first to play, and Guo Xu was more suitable for the finale than him.

Looking at the reaction of the audience, everyone hopes that Guo Xu can win today, if Guo Xu does not play well first, there may be a strange situation on the scene, and many people hope that Laven will not be able to buckle well.

LaVine opted for a self-throw, and his third dunk was a bit like Gordon's previous fit with the mascot. He threw the ball and followed up, bounced the ball 360 degrees in the air, and scored with his right hand to dunk the ball.

The ball was impeccable in terms of jump height and movement, and LaVine got a perfect score again.

This year's slam dunk contest is a return to the old model, and the finals are scored by judges rather than fans voting, which is undoubtedly fairer.

If you vote to decide the championship, then there is no need to compare, Guo Xu's popularity is 10 times higher than LaVine, and there is a huge gap between the popularity of several players who came to participate in the competition.

This has also become the biggest attraction of this year's slam dunk contest, Guo Xu can only rely on strength to win!
