That night, the challenge was staged at the Staples Center.

The first thing to start is the "Shooting Star" competition, which has just been set up this year. There are four teams of three players each, including one active NBA player, one retired superstar and one female NBA player. There are a total of 6 shooting points, three people shoot separately, the first person shoots and the next person can shoot, through a round of the game to determine the winner, the fastest shot six points team wins.

It wasn't easy because the last shot was a midfield shot.

In the end, the Lakers won the championship of the first shooting star with "Magic" Johnson hitting a long-range shot from the midline with 43.9 seconds.

Then came the Skills Challenge, where Byron Davis, a heavy point guard who wasn't fast, pulled out an upset to win the title.

In the final, Fisher came out first, hitting the ground twice and hitting the ground twice to get through and three three-pointers to make it in 37.6 seconds. Fisher's poor performance took the pressure off Davis, and although there was some delay in hitting the ball, he then got the job done in one go, finishing the game with a one-handed dunk in 31.6 seconds.

The three-point contest was another upset, as Kings sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic lost to the Nuggets' Woshan Leonard.

Peja scored a game-high 21 points in the preliminaries, and Leonard narrowly missed the final with 18 points, 16 for Peja and 15 for Korver.

That's what luck matters, and Leonard has shot over 40 percent from three-point range in only two of his nine seasons since he entered the league in 1995. Peja is certainly much more accurate in training, but he doesn't play well.

Finally, it was the turn of today's highlight slam dunk contest, before the players came out, some dunk highlights of the four players were released on the big screen, accompanied by Eminem's rap, and the atmosphere was good.

When it was Guo Xu's turn, his dunk from Anthony Peeler was replayed repeatedly, and it was difficult for Peeler not to be famous.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang Reasonable said: "Guo Xu is going to challenge his limits today, who would have thought that he would not shoot three points and participate in the slam dunk contest instead?" At that time, the news broke out, and many people thought it was a joke. ”

XU JICHENG SAID WITH A SMILE: "THIS IS REALLY UNEXPECTED, AFTER POTATO WEBB, NO PLAYER UNDER 190CM HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE SLAM DUNK CONTEST." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "I decided that Guo Xu is much better, he is not a potato body." (Webb: I'm a potato body?) ）

Weber, who has the nickname "Potato", is about 170CM tall, and people's deepest impression of him is dunks.

The Pistons didn't sign Webber after selecting him with the 87th pick in the fourth round of the 1985 draft, and he was fortunate enough to join the Hawks. He competed in the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest in his hometown of Dallas in his rookie season. In this tournament, he became a blockbuster, won the slam dunk contest, gave a big gift to the fans in his hometown, and became the shortest slam dunk champion in NBA history.

IN THE MUSIC, THE LIVE HOST BEGAN TO INTRODUCE THE PLAYERS IN TURN, AND THE FIRST TO APPEAR WAS THE CELTICS' RICKY DAVIES, THE 201CM TALL SWINGMAN. He walked onto the pitch with only sporadic applause and even some boos.

A fat fan near the court shouted, "Ricky, you're going to win, they're all invited to help you in the dunk contest!" ”

"......" Davis's running movements were not smooth by this shout.

His image is difficult to reverse in the short term, and the short term probably refers to this life. However, his dunking ability is really strong, and he completed a crotch change dunk in the regular season, and he is the first player in the NBA to do so.

The second to appear is the Nuggets' Chris Anderson, who has yet to get the nickname "Birdman" and has clean arms and no tattoos. When he got a tattoo, he was gliding like a bird when he jumped up and grabbed a rebound, and the tattoo on his body was particularly fancy, a bit like a big bird's feather.

Anderson is a blue-collar player, Nuggets' backup power forward, and the tallest player to participate in the slam dunk contest in recent years, with a height of 208cm and a weight of 111 kilograms. He entered the NBA without a draft and scored almost all of his points with dunks, not a few points.

It was unexpectedly quiet, and no one in Los Angeles fans applauded Anderson, and he waved to the sidelines and didn't get a response, which was also a little embarrassing. No way, he is not famous, and many fans don't know him.

Next up was Pacers quarterback Fred Jones, and the fans didn't applaud either. He is averaging only 5 points and 2 assists per game for the Pacers this season and is a regular bench.

HE WAS 193 CM TALL AND WEIGHED 95 KILOGRAMS, BUT HE WAS HALF A HEAD SHORT BY THE SIDE OF DAVIS. His actual height is only 188CM, and his figure and playing style are doomed to no future.

Guo Xu appeared in the finale, and as soon as the host called out his name, the fans began to applaud and cheer.

He got up from his seat, slowly walked onto the court, and waved to the fans around him, applause and shouts for a long time.

All three opponents have the same feeling: does this still need to be compared? How do you compare with him? This product has already been decided to be a champion, right?

This is the benefit of the star participating in the challenge, the popularity is enough to drive the atmosphere of the whole stadium, especially this star weekend is in Los Angeles, which is equivalent to half of Guo Xu's home field.

After introducing the players, the host introduced today's five judges. "Magic" Johnson, "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar and other retired celebrities.

After some warm-up, the slam dunk contest officially began, and the first one to appear was Davis.

He chose to play the board and self-tossing and self-dunking action, and the first two times were unsuccessful, so he had to change the movement, dribbling to the basket from the right side, and then turning 180 degrees in the air counterclockwise to dunk with one hand.

He made a beautiful move, but because it was a "supplementary dunk", he only scored 45 points.

At present, the rules of the slam dunk contest are relatively strict, and if a player fails to dunk twice, there is still a chance to make up for the dunk. However, there is only one chance to make a dunk per round, and the ball that has already been scored cannot be dunked again.

That is to say, the player has a maximum of three chances, and whether he scores or not depends on the judges' scores. It's not like in 2006, when Nate Robinson dunked 15 times in the finals and finally beat Iguodala to become the dunk king, which is ridiculous.

The second to appear was Anderson, who jumped high in the air and turned 180 degrees in the air to clasp his hands successfully, and the finish was clean, but the action was too simple, and the five judges only gave a low score of 42 points. It's hard to get excited about this kind of spinning dunk.

The third was Jones, who tossed the ball high on the left side and then jumped up to get a one-handed free dunk that gave him a perfect 50. The fans at the scene didn't give much applause, the response was mediocre, and many people felt that the score was too high, although Jones jumped very high, but it was not very difficult.

Guo Xu appeared in the finale, and many viewers began to applaud before he deducted. The league officials are very happy, this is the slam dunk contest they want, and after 3 years, it is finally popular again.

Guo Xu took the ball and walked to the right side of 60 degrees, threw the ball high, and then quickly rushed to the basket, jumped with both feet, turned 180 degrees in the air, and just received the basketball that rebounded on the ground with his right hand, and dunked the basketball with one hand at a point on the right.

This is the dunk that Marion called "Lady Liberty", although Guo Xu is short, Marion's movements are much more stretched. He showed both physical flexibility and aerial height, and it took two months to practice in the time loop before he was able to deduct it.

Guo Xu can grasp the strength of the ball and the timing of the jump very well, the time when he catches the ball is almost there, the success rate is 50%, he is lucky today, and he completed it in one time.

The audience was stunned, and then cheered together, and the judges collectively gave a perfect score of 50.
