Chapter 181: Slam Dunk Contest
The fox brother won the first Chinese "three-point king" title, and he said in an interview after the game: He will participate in this competition next year, and his goal is to become a man like Larry. Bird, and Craig. Hodge-like triple crown.
Fans have no opinion on his answer, how to say that the little fox also broke the three-point contest scoring record, the possibility of three consecutive championships in the future is not impossible, if he is lucky, he can become the third player to win the triple crown in the "three-point contest".
However, at this time, fans have shifted their attention from the "three-point contest" to the "slam dunk contest", although the dunk contest in recent years makes people feel a little aesthetically fatigued, the dunk players seem to have exhausted their skills, the players lack novelty, the dunk lacks creativity, and the big-name stars have refused to participate in the dunk contest...... This kind of factor has made the slam dunk contest in recent years as exciting as the Spring Festival Gala, and the ratings are getting worse and worse.
However, everything will naturally bottom out when it reaches the bottom, and the slam dunk contest seems to be showing signs of recovery this year after a few years of silence.
In this year's slam dunk contest, the players are no longer all small players, even as small as Nate. A little green-skinned frog like Robinson can come up and jump twice. Among the players participating in this year's slam dunk contest are the yellow-skinned panda brother and the monster Howard, who can play treasures, and these two seem to be trying to prove in the slam dunk contest that big men can fly!
In particular, the participation of the panda hero also implies the inspirational color of "Asians can fly", just like "white people can fly" back then.
The four contestants in this year's slam dunk contest are: Gerald . Green, Rudy. Gay, Dwight. Howard, Ji Guosha.
Let's start with Gerald. Green, who was traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin. Garnett's replacement for the head, it can be said that Green will not do anything on the court, he will slam the dunk!
Dunking is Green's best skill, and it is estimated that he focuses all his skill points on bouncing and slamming.
As the defending champion of last year's slam dunk contest, Green will be the most high-profile contestant this year, and he was the most popular one ahead of the game.
Despite being just a water cooler keeper in the official game, Green has proven himself to be one of the best "spring guys" in the NBA since the day he entered the league, and his ability to stay in the air is one of the best among several players this year, and it is said that his vertical bounce is more than 110cm, and he is the only super spring man in the NBA who can flatten the frame.
Green's slam dunk contest last year was a parody of the 17-year-old Dee Dunk. Brown won the championship with a "blindfolded dunk", and I wonder if he can find some new tricks this year.
Rudy. Gay, the new core of the Memphis Grizzlies, has no less than the template Tracy. McGrady's athleticism, he has the physiques to become a superstar player, and Guy is on that path.
This year it's Rudy. In Guy's second season, in this season, Guy was strong in the regular season, as if he wanted to tell the world: I want to win the slam dunk contest this year. The Grizzlies' core dunk seems to have no flaws, although he does not have Green's absolute bounce, but he has a perfect combination of explosiveness, height, power, airspace and bounce speed, and comprehensiveness is Gay's strength, and many young fans are Rudy. Guy's supporters.
Dwight. Howard, the inner axis of the Orlando Magic, is the best center in the 21st century, known as the Monster.
Howard was frustrated at last year's slam dunk contest, and his playful creativity didn't win the hearts of the judges, so he had to settle for second place.
But it doesn't matter, Howard, the funniest of the four, is back this year, and although the demand to raise the height of the basket was once again rejected by the league, the second boy must have come up with a new trick in his head, and ideas other than basketball and dunk may be able to surprise people.
In addition, Howard is the biggest star of the four, and his popularity, strength, and bounce can at least make him a contender for the championship, Howard is not a traditional 7-foot man, he is a monster!
Ji Guoqiu, a rare yellow person in the league, has never seen a yellow-skinned figure in the slam dunk contest, and his participation has broken a record, and today is the first time that a yellow man stands on the stage of the slam dunk contest.
Chinese names are tongue-twisting for Americans, and more people call him Brother Panda. He is one of the Clippers' interior duo, the best twin player in league history, with a super well-rounded body, Garnett's successor in the eyes of experts, and 2 billion Chinese people around the world standing behind him.
The giant panda competition was unexpected, and no one had ever thought that "yellow people can fly" before, but the national treasure seemed to want to challenge people's opinions, and he also had the support of Chinese people around the world. In addition to Chinese fans, many young American fans, especially female fans, were also impressed by his courage and handsome appearance. However, in terms of bounce and bounce speed, the most handsome giant panda is the least advantageous of the four participants, so the question arises, what is his killer feature?
Before the start of the game, the boss of the Cavaliers and the first young generation in the league, LeBron . James took out his digital camera again before the game and started shooting around. I still remember last year's slam dunk contest, every time he slammed a dunk, he would stand up and walk around the court, and he almost missed his legs.
This year, "Little Emperor" was still actively cheering on the four contestants on the sidelines, and it was clear that the bouncing No. 23 preferred to watch others perform slam dunks, but he himself did not think of playing in person, and Cleveland fans were already worried about their king's calves, which could easily slip back and forth so much.
LeBron is not the only big name cheering group on the sidelines, and Nash, the Suns guard who usually dominates the NBA arena and is accurate outside the three-point line, is a loyal fan of the Pandas.
The Canadian's luck wasn't so good today, as Nash had been out of luck in the three-point contest and became the second star player to drop the chain after Flash Wade dropped the chain in the Skills Challenge. Still, Nash and his teammate, Suns dunk Stoudemire, cheered on his future international teammates on the sidelines.
"I bought Howard this time, and I knew that guy was going to win the championship." Stoudemire's eyes were a little red, he was still not ready to buy Brother Panda, this time he invested heavily and bought 100,000 yuan Howard, and then learned from the smart Kobe Bryant and bought 50,000 yuan Green, which is the double insurance in Peter Pan's mouth.
Nash shook his head, secretly bought Ji Guoqiu 50,000 yuan, and then bought 20,000 yuan from Green, and Lao Wei was also very smart.
Billups patted his future teammate on the shoulder, and bought Ji Guoqiu 200,000 yuan very righteously, anyway, although he didn't go to the scene in the three-point competition, he earned 250,000 yuan on his fox brother, and this time he should spend it on his brother.
Kobe Bryant bit his fingers, thought about it for a long time, and decided to buy 100,000 Panda Brother, 50,000 Howard, and 50,000 Green to continue his diversification plan.
Yao Ming said that I don't play anymore, save money to go back to China to buy tea eggs, gambling is too discordant.
The gorilla suddenly tilted his head over and said disdainfully to Kobe: "You are so diversified, although you can't lose much, you can't make much money." ”
Kobe Bryant suddenly looked around and asked James, "LeBron, do you see my three rings?" It's just three lovely rings that are shiny and shiny, and it's easy to find. ”
The gorilla frowned, and two Chuanzi suddenly appeared in his head, and said in a hateful voice: "None of you buy Guy, I buy Guy for 300,000!" ”
Rudy. Guy happened to be not far from them, and when he heard this, he immediately burst into tears of gratitude, and couldn't help but rush forward and give the gorilla a bear hug.
The stars on the sidelines are betting and the game is about to begin.
The rules of this year's slam dunk contest are the same as in the past, and the league was originally going to implement the new rules in this section of the dunk contest, but after many considerations, it was decided to postpone it to the next one.
In the next slam dunk contest, fans will directly decide who the final champion is, and the judges only have the power to decide the finalists. When it comes to the finals, fans can decide the championship by text message and voting on the official NBA website.
This means that in the final, the judges' votes are no different from the fans' votes. However, this year's slam dunk contest is still the scoreboard of the five judges to determine the champion.
Perhaps it was the last "slam dunk contest" where the judges decided the winner, so the five judges of this year were much bigger than before.
The first is the 1996 slam dunk contest winner, who played "White People Can Fly". Barry; Then there is the essence of human movies, two-time slam dunk king Dominic. Wilkins; The third is the shortest slam dunk contest winner in NBA history, Sibert. Weber; The fourth is the first dunk king in NBA history, Larry. Nance; Finally, our flying man, Michael. Jordan.
These five judges are too heavy, their scores are definitely the closest to the standard of fairness and fairness, if the participating players expect to use the so-called violent dunks, crotch flips, reverse dunks, 360-degree turn dunks and other dunks that have prevailed in previous years to show strength and bounce dunks, they will not be on the table at all in this year's dunk competition, these five judges are very demanding, don't expect to fool the judges with these garbage.
This year's rules are divided into the first round and the final, with four team members taking turns to dunk and the judges score. Each judge gives a player a full score of 10 points for a dunk, and the maximum score given by the five judges is up to 50 points, which is often referred to as "perfection".
Two dunks in the first round, with a single player scoring a maximum of 100 points and a minimum of 60 points. If the dunk fails, there is a chance to make up the dunk once, but the ball that has already been dunked will not be made again. The two of the four contestants with the highest scores advanced to the finals. The rules of the final are the same as in the first round, and the two players also dunk twice, with the highest score of 100 points and the lowest score of 60 points for a single player, and the one with the highest score becomes the dunk king.
On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, at 19 o'clock in the evening, the most popular "slam dunk contest" was held as scheduled.
Charles. Barkley sat in the live broadcast seat, opened his mouth and said: "Audience friends, the four people who participated in the slam dunk contest this year are Gerald. Green, Rudy. Gay, Dwight. Howard, Ji Guoqiu. The competition hasn't started yet, but the crowd is already going crazy ahead of time as everyone is looking forward to the exciting performances that are coming. Of the four, Howard has the most ghost ideas, and everyone cares about what interesting ideas he can come up with this year, and no one cares about his dunks. He told me before the game that it was going to surprise me, and I was waiting. Next up is Gerald. Green, this kid jumped high on his own, like he pressed a spring on his foot. But I want to say, fortunately, this year is not the fan vote, does anyone know who he is? I don't know him anyway; As for Brother Panda and Guy, these two are very vigorous dunks in official competitions, and looking at their performances in the slam dunk contest, everyone is also fresh. Originally, the slam dunk contest is just a fresh, expecting them to win the championship, I don't see a way. ”
Kenny. Smith didn't answer a word next to him, this bastard offended the four players who participated in the slam dunk contest at once, and he was really not afraid of being drenched in black dog blood in front of him for revenge!
At this time, the fans who had just turned on the TV also scolded Barkley, what does this old ass mean, no one has any role in his eyes, this is really fair and just! R1152
