Chapter 869 [The Golden Generation That Gave Way]
Evans' final dunk exposed his own teasing nature. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tiny actor Kevin Hart came out again to brush up on his presence, posing as a postman and delivering Evans a Carl Malone jersey.
Evans pretended to be surprised, as if Malone had really given him the jersey. But the jersey is a prop prepared by himself, and everyone on the earth knows it!
Moreover, Malone has never been a star known for dunking, let alone participated in the dunk contest, what kind of trouble is it to pay tribute to Malone on this occasion?
With Hart standing under the basket and everything ready, Evans ran with the ball and successfully leaped over the "Postman", touching the back of his head and dunking the ball into the basket.
After he dunked successfully, it caused a wave of complaints from online fans.
What does this mean?
A marginal man who can't play the ball wants to get past the postman?
Moreover, even if you leap over a person and touch the back of your head, it is not very difficult, because Hart's height is only 161cm.
The original intention of Marlon's dunk action was not to touch the back of his head, but to put his hand behind his ear to listen to applause and cheers, and by the way, he could show off his biceps.
Evans wanted to pay tribute to Malone, but he didn't understand the meaning of the movement at all, he was too thin and didn't have biceps to show off.
George's third dunk was a sticker turnaround dunk, which was barely completed after a few failures, and there was nothing aesthetically pleasing.
Williams performed even worse, running out for two minutes, and failed to dunk with a change of hands under the crotch of the board, and the difficulty dropped again and again, and the last two-handed dunk with an empty board was completed.
Wang Jun chose the action of MR720 in the last button, no leap, no crotch, just self-throwing and self-deduction.
The difference is that he leaps very far from the three-point line, throws the ball outside the three-point line, catches the rebound ball that falls to the ground one step before the free throw line, extends his right arm to the fullest, glides out and dunks the ball into the basket.
His body is also tilted sharply, and his movements are particularly beautiful.
ESPN Van Gundy commented: "I think he can go to the long jump. ”
"Like last year, all of his dunks were done all at once, and it felt like he had room to spare," McBrin said. ”
Last time, Griffin Wang Jun won, and this time there is no suspense, the opponent is not competitive.
After a while, the results of the selection came out, and Wang Jun won the slam dunk king for a second time. If there were judges for his three dunks, they would probably all be perfect marks, once again bringing his sense of rhythm and ability to grasp the timing to the extreme.
If you look at the slow mirror, you will find that his bounce is not against the sky, and his head is not flat. If the bouncing is top-notch, he'll have to challenge the streetball players with super moves.
Wang Jun promised in an interview: "I will continue to participate in the slam dunk contest and challenge some new moves while I am young." ”
The reporter asked: "Will you still participate in the three-point contest?" ”
"I'm going to think about that." The implication is that he likes dunks more than threes.
That night, another troll sprayed Wang Jun on the Internet, cursing him for being injured by dunking, saying that shooting was the most correct thing, and dunking seemed to be a big rebellion, and breaking through to the basket and shooting did not count points.
Trolls won't go extinct, and it's interesting to look at them calmly. Wang Jun has no one to share the joy of the game, so he can only read people's messages on the Internet to find fun.
On the last day, the star race, some people said that it was like a collective farewell for the post-70s.
The "96 Golden Generation", which used to dominate the All-Star starters, has now given way to the "03 Platinum Generation".
James, Wade, Anthony, and Wang Jun have all been given at least five All-Star starts, plus Howard in 2004, who has been qualified for the sixth time, and Paul, the No. 4 pick in 2005 who has been selected four times, these Mesozoic players have become the absolute protagonists of All-Star Weekend.
Behind them, the new generation of players represented by the 2007 No. 1 pick Durant, the 2008 No. 1 pick Rose and the 2009 No. 1 pick Griffin have also stabilized their All-Star Game spots.
It is foreseeable that this group of young people with both strength and popularity will hold the All-Star Game roster together for a long time in the next few years, until a younger group of people grow up to seize power.
Meanwhile, Bryant, who has been selected to the All-Star Game 14 times in a row, is the player with the most All-Star Game selections among active players, along with Garnett. Based on the form and level of Kobe Bryant's performance, that number will continue to grow as long as he doesn't suffer particularly serious injuries.
The evenly matched contest that Stern wanted to see did not appear, and after the game began, Wang Jun, James, Kobe, and Durant played well, and the Eastern Conference starters collapsed.
The East has been slow to get into form, or no form at all, and it's probably not good for Rose and Wade to get together. Coupled with Howard, who has no range, and Garnett, who plays soy sauce, form an interior line, and Anthony is the only one who shoots from the outside in the East.
Anthony was also terrible at defending Durant, allowing the latter to score on multiple easy jumpers.
In the second quarter, the world of the Thunder was less, and several dunk performances were staged. The two teams hit three three-pointers in the final 30 seconds of the quarter, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Griffin, as the West tied the first half 90-67.
The West set a half-time All-Star record, surpassing the 87 points in 1989, except for Yao Ming, who only played 7 minutes and scored 2 points, everyone else had a super high shooting percentage.
Paul came on in place of Rose, and the Eastern offense improved slightly, but the gap was still very obvious.
In the second half, the West began to release water and was not good at defense, and the Eastern players played a wave to chase the score.
When someone wants to break through, he will not use his legs to get stuck in the position like he usually does, gambling and stealing more, and letting people dunk if he can't grab it.
The East has tightened up their defense, and the players don't want the West to score a record-breaking score in this game, and the atmosphere has become more tense.
There was not the slightest smile on Paul's face, and Wade was serious.
With 8:48 left in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant turned past Wade, who followed from behind, pounced on Kobe Bryant with both hands and hit him with blood.
Bryant hit two free throws to reach 18 points and total 262 points in the All-Star game, tying Michael Jordan's All-Star record. In the last quarter, Wang Jun hit two three-pointers in a row, and assisted Griffin to catch a dunk in the air, and assisted James to cut to the basket, and the difference widened again.
With a 25-point lead in the final four minutes, the game went into garbage time.
Kobe Bryant successfully set an All-Star individual scoring record, scoring 27 points in the game, surpassing Jordan.
West won 164-143.
After the game, people learned that the bridge of Kobe's nose was actually broken by Wade. He still insisted on playing in the fourth quarter and was very dedicated, but unfortunately the statistics were a little inferior, and he failed to win the MVP in the end.
Durant scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists and was elected as the 2012 All-Star MVP. This is Durant's first career MVP trophy, and he is particularly excited.
Durant hasn't been a player in the league since 2007, but he's already been named to the All-Star team twice. In the previous two All-Star games, he had been in a decent manner. This time, he can overpower Kobe, Wang Jun and others, it should be said that it is not easy.
After the game, Durant was very modest in the interview. "It's exciting to be nominated as an All-Star, but if you can get an All-Star MVP, then it's a step further, and that's what it feels like to be a dream come true."
The reporter asked: "The Thunder currently have the first record, do you think they will win the regular season MVP?" ”
"I didn't think about that, I just wanted to win the playoffs."
