The staff of the technical desk were all evacuated, replaced with five luxury seats, and the computer was replaced with a scoreboard, that is, five brands from 6 points to 10 points, and there is no electronic scorer yet, but this kind of manual scoring, let Liu Mang see more high-tech, but feel more ceremonial, than coldly see the scores on the LED screen, this kind of picture of the celebrities holding up the scores, DJ with excellent mathematical ability to add up the scores announced, more exciting!

The referee also left the field, and the Eagles DJ came directly to the field to be the host.

Originally, in the slam dunk contest, the judges who scored should all be retired celebrities, but this is Carter's return to the slam dunk contest after two years, so it's a bit special.

The essence of human cinema Dominic Wilkins, Dr. J, Julius Irving, and the first-generation king Larry Bird, the three are retired celebrities, but the other two judges are not, but active veterans, Karl Malone, the postman of the Jazz, and Michael Jordan, the basketball god of the Wizards!

The most luxurious lineup of judges in history!

When Liu Mang saw Jordan and Ma Long walking up to the judges' seat, his heart suddenly burst out!

it! These two stinky old men are actually judges!

Depend on! I won't wear small shoes for my master!

Liu Mang regretted it a little, he wouldn't have teased them if he had known, but now it's good.

Watching Jordan and Malone smiling at him, Liu Mang felt a bit like running in the sunset, and he had no regrets in his dunk career......

Draw lots!

Of the six participating players, Liu Mang was the last to hold the drawn note in his hand.

The importance of the order of appearance of the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest is very different, and the advantages and disadvantages of the three-point contest are different.

Because of the spectacular dunk at the same level, the one who comes on the court first may directly get a full score, and the one who plays later may be because the one who comes on the court is too good to dunk and raise the judges' expectations, and the second one on the court will be lower than expected even if he deducts the same wonderful deduction.

Especially today, Liu Mang has two championship-level opponents Jason Richardson and Carter, which is particularly important, and today's judges, three historical-level super dunks, Irving, Wilkins, Jordan, a very high-minded king Bird, and even Ma Long, are all characters with eyes above the top, so they win first!

A real master matchup, it's tense from the start.

Liu Mang nervously and expectantly unfolded the folded note, and a 3 was written in the center of the note!

The third appearance!

Not bad!

As long as it's not the fourth and unlucky Carter, Jason Richardson, and Richard Jefferson, the three hell-ahead top three.

When Liu Mang showed his signature to the host, he looked at the sign shown to the host to others, yo, Carter's sixth, the finale.

Carter didn't care about the first few appearances, he didn't even look at it after it was unfolded and showed it directly to the host, and then saw that the host first took the other people's signatures in his hand in turn, and then took a look, it turned out that he was the last to appear, but his expression didn't change at all, and he still looked like he was holding it.

The order of appearance is Richard Jefferson, Stoudemire, Liu Mang, Jason Richardson, Draymond Mason, Carter.

At the time of the draw, the lights had dimmed, the spotlight was on the judges' bench, several bigwigs were being interviewed, and after the players decided the order of play, they all returned to the sidelines, waiting for the performance.

Everything was prepared, the media removed the interviewers, the lights were all turned off, and then a spotlight hit the center of the court, and the host stood next to the focus of the spotlight and picked up the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you didn't guess wrong, everyone is looking forward to it, and everyone is crazy about the slam dunk contest, it's begun!"

"First of all...... We have a super dunk from the New Jersey Baskets, Richard...... Jefferson ......"

In the host's deliberately elongated tail, Richard Jefferson ran onto the court.

The host gave the ball to Richard Jefferson, and it's show time for Richard Jefferson!

The spotlight became scattered and hit the entire jury to the right half of the bench.

The All-Star Slam Dunk Contest has officially begun!

The restless cries of the scene began to fall, and everyone was staring at Richard Jefferson.

Liu Mang on the sidelines felt the feeling of passionate excitement, what nervousness, what uneasiness, what tasks, all left behind, feeling this atmosphere, Liu Mang only felt excited and excited!

The dunk is divided into preliminaries and finals, and the players in each round dunk twice in this round, and one person takes turns at a time.

Each dunk has a chance to fail, if it is not dunked, you can do it again, but if you fail both times, you will be scored according to the failed dunk, and each judge can give a score of 6 to 10 points.

Since it was six people who participated, the top three in the preliminary round advanced to the finals.

The first player to dunk in the first round, Richard Jefferson's first dunk!

Richard Jefferson held the ball in the position of the halfway line, did not step back too much, and was full of confidence in his bounce! I don't think I have to rush that far to accelerate!

What will the first button look like?

Everyone's eyes widened, the first dunk is often the easiest dunk to score a high score, Richard Jefferson has the best dunk order, and everyone is looking forward to this dunk!

Finally, the dunk begins!

Richard Jefferson dribbled for a few seconds, began to slowly run ahead, ran outside the three-point line and threw the ball to the basket, and then, Richard Jefferson kicked back with his left foot and sprinted with all his might!

Richard Jefferson took a step inside the free throw line and the ball bounced just over his head! Richard Jefferson's legs were like springs, the whole person flew up, the whole person catapulted towards the basket, and the hand took the ball off the top of his head, at this time Richard Jefferson's head was already parallel to the basket! Fall begins after reaching the highest point! In this process, Richard Jefferson's right hand did not stop, the right hand pulled the lever from the bottom to the back, a semi-circle lever, and before landing, pulled out a semi-circle and smashed the ball into the basket!

The exaggerated bounce speed, the exaggerated bounce height, will detonate the fans who turn off their voices at once!

Kidd on the sidelines also danced with excitement with a group of players.

The dunk looked really visually burning, and the fans and stars on the sidelines were excited, but ......

Several of the judges looked at each other and then pouted, and it was clear that the dunk did not satisfy them.

It's not that the dunk is bad, it's ...... This is all 20 years ago, the action is good-looking, but it has become a lot of dunks that can be done occasionally in actual combat games, of course, because it is good-looking, so it is used by many people, but it is too common!

Despite Richard Jefferson's explosive bounce height and speed, this slam dunk action was almost perfect, but this is just the level of Larry Nance when he made this move at the first slam dunk contest in 1984, and this move, Larry Nance has done it close to perfection, and Richard Jefferson is at this level.

Back then, Larry Nance could get a perfect score with this action, but almost 20 years have passed, and he still uses this action, no matter how perfect the completion is, unfortunately, except for Irving, who was beaten by this dunk because he played against Larry Nance that year, he was given a nostalgic score and gave a 7 points, and the other four judges all scored 6 points, and the total score was only a pitiful 31 points.

Many fans at the scene were disappointed when they saw the 6 points in the same color and the 7 points in the green bushes.

It's true that Richard Jefferson's dunk is very good-looking, very exciting, and the visual effects are explosive, but it really can't get into the eyes of this group of bigwigs.

Moreover, even if you change a few ordinary judges, it is estimated that it will only be 356 points, which is not high.

Richard Jefferson returned to the bench with some frustration, and there were only a few of their players who participated in the dunk contest, and the rest all came to the VIP fan zone on the other side, a little closer to the dunk basket to see it more clearly.

Richard Jefferson was a little frustrated, and the others were not much better, such a strict scoring standard sounded the alarm for the remaining players, including Liu Mang, and it was not necessary that the dunk that he thought was good could be appreciated by this group of celebrities with high vision!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa...... Richard's dunk this time is too powerful, let's have a second player in the game...... Amare Stoudemire ......"

Relatively speaking, the easiest thing now is Stoudemire, he didn't prepare for the finals dunk, there were only two dunks in total, and he was ready to show off a wave of operations, and when he knew that Carter and Jason Richardson were going to participate in this slam dunk contest, he didn't think about winning the championship.

Seeing that the judges were so strict, Stoudemire was ready to take out his finale dunk directly!

Although the first dunk did not get a high score, Richard Jefferson's dunk has exploded the whole court, although the fans value the championship, but in the middle of the game, they pay more attention to whether it looks good or not! Although Richard Jefferson didn't get a high score, the fans just thought it looked good and looked forward to the next performance!

Stoudemire came straight to the left side of the three-second zone, didn't run or anything, and stood there and moved his body.

Seeing this scene, a big question mark hung over people's hearts.

What is this for?

Just buckle like that?

Stoudemire said yes, brother is going to buckle it like this.

In everyone's confusion, Stoudemire faced the basket very closely, slapped the ball with his right hand, bounced forward with his body, received the ball in the air with his left hand, handed the ball to his right hand from under his right leg, turned 90 degrees to face the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket!

Compared with this action, Richard Jefferson's just now can be regarded as a super difficult action, this action is an ordinary half-turn dunk around the bottom line!

But!

Different people make the same dunk, especially the outside and interior players make the same dunk, the visual effect is completely different!

Stoudemire's ball, if it is deducted by an outside player, it is estimated that he will not be able to run at the bottom of the 30-point line.

But!

It was a two-meter-and-eight-meter striker who made this move! Moreover, the movements are extremely smooth! The flexibility of the body is like that of a guard, the movement in the air is smooth and graceful, and the body pulls the ball up like a bow after the abdomen is tucked and unfolded in the air, and it is completely flexible that a guard can have.

And this action is done by a huge, extremely muscular violent power forward!

Don't say it, Liu Mang was stunned, if this ball is changed to some slam dunk contest with no masters, it will be at least a difficult dunk of 45 to 50 points!

In fact, in the original 03 slam dunk contest, Stoudemire's finale dunk really scored 49 points!

Visually, this dunk is even more exaggerated than Richard Jefferson's just now!

The fans cheered again, and then everyone stared at the judges' bench to see how many points they were going to give.

Not to mention, compared to Richard Jefferson, several bigwigs were much more satisfied when they saw this dunk, and they all laughed and applauded.

A defender is a fool to dunk like this, but an inside dunk like this is full of creativity! It was deducted so well, several bigwigs all gave a rating of more than 8 points, Malone and Bird gave 9 points on the inside, Jordan, Irving, and Wilkins gave 8 points, and Stoudemire scored 42 points!

The score was so good that the fans were finally satisfied, and Stoudemire excitedly high-fived the stars who rushed to the sidelines.

The dunks of the first two participating players, although the scores are not high, are really good-looking!

The excitement of the fans has not diminished in the slightest, and, because the next person who is going to play, everyone has tried to raise their voices to cheer, and some fans are more direct, and the scene began to shout one after another: "Ace...... Ace...... Ace ......"

At home, most of the fans at the scene today, at least half, are Georgia locals, and the first to support is of course Liu Mang, his own player.

When it was time for him to fight, Liu Mang calmed down, he kept hinting that he wanted to be calm, it seemed to have some effect, seeing the performances of the first two opponents, he knew that he could do better and had confidence in himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome...... Our best young superstar in the world...... Ai Ai Ai ...... Ace ......"

A small spotlight hit the bench where Liu Mang was sitting, and Liu Mang walked out of the bench, Jason Terry, Rahim, Mohammed...... and other Hawks players, Maddy, Iverson, Gasol, Stockton...... and other players with a good relationship walked to the field and high-fived Liu Mang.

This picture is more exciting for fans than the first two before the dunk, Richard Jefferson, a simple sophomore player, there are not many superstars with good relationships, and Stoudemire is just a rookie, except for Marbury, none of his well-connected contemporaries have been able to get tickets to the VIP zone.

In a famous sentence of Wang Banbi, Liu Mang made his debut in the dunk contest, and half of the NBA's superstars came to cheer him on, and even Kobe Bryant came up and slapped his hands with a stinky expression.

Although I can't wait to shoot Liu Mang to death today, Kobe Bryant is looking forward to Liu Mang going to Gang Carter for a wave, because he was also the dunk king back then, originally before 2000, the gold content of the dunk king was quite high, but after Carter got the dunk king, he became the most water dunk king.

Richard Jefferson and Stoudemire and Jason Richardson and Draymond Mason, who did not play, were all envious when they saw this scene, except for Carter's expectation.

Carter made an appointment with Liu Mang at the beginning, purely out of impulse, and was pressed by the head coach on the bench at that time and did not play the game without being able to compare the dunk with Liu Mang in the game.

After calming down, Carter quickly reacted, in terms of dunks, Liu Mang is indeed good this year, but he has to be regarded as an opponent...... It's still a bit inadequate.

However, Carter has always felt that Liu Mang is a very amazing player, and since he met this guy, he has felt very special, and he can always do things that people think he can't do.

No, last season everyone said that he was not physically fit and didn't bounce, but after training his body to be strong this year, he found that the bounce was also very strong.

Carter is looking forward to how Liu Mang will dunk.

The judges were also curious, what surprises could this guy create?

Liu Mang took the ball and came to the half-court between the halfway line and the three-point line of the dunk.

This distance?

Where does space accelerate?

Moreover, Liu Mang is not like others, with full strength and tense muscles, but the whole person is like that, which is not lax, but it is certainly not nervous.

Use an appropriate adjective to describe Liu Mang who is dribbling between the three-point line and the midline - do whatever you want!

Whenever Liu Mang equips Zach LaVine's shooting bag, this disdain for dunks makes the people around him very impressed when they see him!

Finally, after Liu Mang was lucky for about ten seconds, he finally started to act!

Jing Ruo is like a rabbit, talking about the current Liu Mang, like an arrow from the string, sprinting towards the basket, rushing to the free throw line in a few steps, taking a step into the free throw line with his left foot, picking up the ball with his right hand, his body rising from the ground, moving lightly but quickly handing the ball from his right hand to his left hand, passing his left hand from his right leg to his right hand, and then picking up the ball with his right hand and dunking it into the basket.

Liu Mang's first dunk, jumping up and down the free throw line with a change of hands and dunking!

If you really want to talk about it, this dunk is not very difficult, but, somehow, people think, it looks like a shock!

The feeling that there seems to be a lot of power left, as if the ball is just a feeling of playing with it, not only does it not make people feel uncomfortable, but there is an inexplicable shock.

LaVine's dunk is characterized by this, it seems that LaVine's dunk has gone against the sky, but no matter how against the sky, LaVine gives people the feeling that he still has the strength to spare, and the ball has not fully jumped, just the feeling of a casual dunk.

After others dunked, they all roared and shouted excitedly, just Liu Mang, after landing on the ground, his expression was relaxed, completely ignoring the exaggerated shouting on the sidelines, all kinds of players who pretended to be pulled into the court and rushed into the court, Liu Mang turned the ball with his foot, picked it up and handed it to the host.

This feeling of being very calm, very calm, and not seemingly going all out has a very strong visual impact, which makes the fans can't help but cheer again!

LaVine's dunk makes people feel strong, not only his dunk is strong, his exhibition game dunk can already be regarded as the degree to which he can challenge Carter, the key is that no matter how difficult his dunk is, it always looks like there is still room for power!

This has made fans and judges look up to it a lot from the beginning!

The other contestants were all dunks that did not meet the judges' expectations, and the scores they got became lower.

And Liu Mang this time, he gave the judges more expectations, not only did not make the score lower, but also made the judges can't help but start discussing.

It seemed to be a little hesitant and tangled, but in the end it was firm.

5 10 points!

Jordan, Malone, Irving, Wilkins, Bird, the five big guys, all gave 10 points!

Today's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is the first 10 points!
