Chapter 495 [Shocking Leap, Everyone's Expectations]
Of the four people who participated in the slam dunk contest this year, except for Amare Stodamire, the other three were not very famous. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Xiao Si is recognized by netizens as the person who is most likely to be eliminated.
Xiao Si participated in the slam dunk contest in his rookie season and could only run with him. After Yang Rui saw his dunk in the team, he was sure that he couldn't help him win the championship, his body was too hard, only explosive, and he couldn't make fancy moves. Iguodala is different, he's an underrated dunker with a combination of bounce, explosiveness and flexibility.
The race began, and it was J.R. Smith who came out first.
This is a pity player, his physical fitness is not inferior to Kobe, he is also 198CM tall, and his three points are even more accurate than Kobe, but his highest achievement is only the best sixth man, and he is nicknamed "Nerve Knife". He is characterized by intermittent ambition and constant malaise.
JR's presence is a testament to the importance of ball quotient, and if he wasn't so nervous, he would definitely be a star.
In Yang Rui's previous life, when he was on the Hornets, he once only practiced mid-line shooting in training, and the coach was angry, but he was unmoved; He is also a rap enthusiast, and when he was playing for the Nuggets, he was on the bench and the opposing player fell at his feet, and he improvised a rap to humiliate the opponent, which caused a conflict between the two teams.
A commentator commented: "If JR had half of Kobe's effort and ball quotient, with his physical fitness...... The achievements are unimaginable. ”
JR changed hands behind the back to dunk a basketball. This action is not a novelty now, and the judges' tastes have been cultivated by Carter and Richardson, who collectively gave a score of 9 for a total score of 45, and the audience's reaction was also mediocre.
The second player was the Hawks' Josh Smith, who opted for a simple move, a free throw line dunk, a run from the backcourt baseline, and a jump to the end of the free throw line.
The free-throw line dunk mainly shows the ability to stay in the air and take off, and he lacks creativity, although he is very stretched, he only scored 45 points. The era is different, and free-throw line dunks will no longer surprise fans.
The third player, Stoudamire, also had reservations, starting from the baseline, his hands drooping, turning over and folding the buckle, and he succeeded once. The power of the ball and the height of the air are good, but there is nothing new in it, and it only scored 45 points.
Iguodala was the last to appear, and the first action was a difficult bottom line crotch change hand and backhand violent dunk! This action is very elegant, and the power is enough, and it is much more exciting than the first deduction of others, and the judges unanimously gave a full score.
This puts Iguodala in a very good position, and the second dunk only needs to score more than 45 points to advance.
In the second round, it was JR Smith who played first, and this time he asked his teammate "Birdman" Anderson to cooperate, who bounced the ball to the ground, and Smith made a half-turn dunk in the air, but still only scored 45 points.
There is no creativity, you can't get a high score just by jumping height, this ball is very bland, and 45 points are a bit high.
Josh Smith came on and brought in Nets forward Martin to play in. Martin sat in the middle of the box and threw the ball, Smith jumped before the free throw line, and leaped sideways to Martin to catch the left-handed windmill and dunk the ball. The ball was very beautiful, and it received a perfect score of 50, which attracted the applause of the fans in the stadium.
Stoudeyer's third appearance, equally creative, combined with Arenas, who first threw the ball to the rebound, then Arenas followed up with a header on the left side, and Stoudamayre jumped up to catch and half-turn and dunk the basketball.
It's an idea that has never been seen before in the NBA, and the referees gave it a perfect 50.
Yang Rui was also very surprised, Xiao Si no longer plays with Nash, this dunk action still appeared, it seems that Xiao Si came up with an idea.
Neither of the first two has attracted fans as much as Iguodala, though. Before he dunked, people were shocked, because Yao Ming came on the court to cooperate, and stood under the basket with his back.
Iguodala took the ball and stood in the middle of the field, relaxed and ready to run.
Zhang Li said in disbelief: "Could it be that he wants to leap over Yao Ming and dunk, this can't be done, right?" ”
Yu Jia also sighed: "If he succeeds, it will definitely be a full score, but at this height, I don't think he can succeed, this is risking his life to dunk the dunk." ”
Iguodala didn't believe he could do it, but Yang Rui taught him a way, using his left hand to press Yao Ming's shoulder, relying on the support to move a little higher. Iguodala tried twice in the team, and it really worked, which showed not only the bounce power, but also the Chinese kung fu ......
Iguodala runs, jumps, holds the ball high with his right hand, and presses Yao Ming's shoulder with his left hand to complete the leap, and the action is in one go, and the ball is smashed into the ball.
The fans cheered together, and the judges were surprised, watching the slam dunk contest live, it was easy to ignore his small action of pressing his shoulders.
Iguodala pit Nate Robinson by the way, in Yang Rui's previous life, Robinson hacked Iguodala, this time Iguodala used a leap dunk, and it will be difficult to shock fans when Robinson flies Webb and Howard again in the future.
Iguodala scored two perfect points to advance to the final first. Smalls and Josh Smith both have to go to overtime because they both have 95 points.
Both were depressed because they didn't prepare much for the move.
In overtime, Smith came out first, cut in from the left wing, jumped off the penalty line, and dunked the big windmill with his left hand, and scored a perfect score of 50 points. In fact, his buttoning action was average, but he put on a No. 21 Wilkins jersey of the Eagles, and in the most traditional way, he completed the tribute to his predecessors and added emotional points.
However, he released the ultimate move in advance, and it was difficult to do it later.
Xiao Si's action was to start running to the basket from the baseline, changing hands under the crotch, and dunking with both hands with his backhand, which he took four times to complete, and the referee only gave 45 points, and Smith advanced.
In the final, Iguodala came out first.
Mo Williams gave him a pass and rebounded after smashing the ball out of bounds, and Iguodala received the ball and ducked his head to avoid the rebound, jumped to the basket and dunked the basketball with one hand.
Because of Yang Rui, Carter did this in the 2000 competition, and Iguodala can only be regarded as following the trend, but he did it once, and it still shocked people, and the judges gave a perfect score.
When it was Smith's turn, he burst into the basket from the right wing and scored 50 points with a 360-degree left-handed dunk in a reverse turn, similar to Carter's classic move.
Iguodala came out and made another trick.
Yang Rui thought about asking Iguodala to imitate Superman for dunking, but Iguodala was low-key, pragmatic, and not a funny person, so Yang Rui changed him to a different one.
Damon Jones arrived in the middle of the court, sat in a chair and held a basketball in his hand. Iguodala himself slaps a basketball and runs near the center circle.
The two guards and Yao Ming both appeared in conjunction with the slam dunk contest, which seemed that the Lakers players were more united.
When Iguodala ran to the free throw line, Jones threw the ball up, Iguodala jumped two steps before the free throw line, grabbed a basketball in his right hand, received a pass in his left hand, leaped Jones with both legs, and dunked both baskets into the basket in turn!
This is another idea that has never appeared before, the judges collectively gave full marks, and the fans at the scene also shouted excitedly.
Zhang said: "Iguodala's performance today is incredible, after Carter, there is another dunk king who has a perfect score for all dunks. ”
Yu Jia said with a smile: "Brother Yi said in an interview that Yang Rui provided him with several good ideas, and Carter also said so, Yang Rui not only arranges tactics, but also helps players think creatively." ”
Josh Smith was out of inspiration, and his last dunk, he chose to jump from the free throw line and dunk with both hands, and stepped on the free throw line with his heel to dunk the ball, and the judges only scored a low score of 41 points.
In the preliminaries, Smith had a one-handed dunk at the free-throw line, and the idea was repetitive.
Iguodala was crowned the king of dunks!
