Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 87 Slam dunk contest, conquer the audience!
After the second week of February, the NBA ushered in its first busy period—the All-Star Weekend!

Those who don't participate in the All-Star Weekend are directly on vacation and can only control their time, while the stars who participate in the All-Star Weekend have been busy since Friday.

In the Sonics, both Lu Feng and Kemp need to participate in the All-Star Weekend, and the two arrived in Charlotte on Friday morning.

The location of the All-Star in 91 was Charlotte. Three years ago, the Charlotte Hornets joined the NBA. Although the record was not good, Charlotte’s ball market has always been good. After all, Charlotte is the base camp of the NCAA and has many There are few basketball fans around.

The NBA officially chose Charlotte for this year's All-Star. Although the Hornets are newcomers, they also feel the importance the league attaches to them.

But the embarrassing thing is that none of the Hornets was selected as an All-Star, no starters, and no substitutes.

East All-Star coach Chris Ford doesn't like anyone on the Hornets.

"Luck, do you want to practice dunk together?"

In the hotel, Kemp knocked on the door of Lu Feng's hotel room early in the morning.

Lu Feng waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Is it still necessary to practice those few moves? I can win the slam dunk contest with my eyes closed. Besides, if you go now, you can only practice for half an hour at most. What can you practice?"

Kemp was speechless for a while, and then said: "Then I will go to the arena by myself, and I will get familiar with the few moves you designed for me."

The All-Star Weekend is not just the three-point contest, the dunk contest and the All-Star Game.

As a major event for the league to cut leeks every year, the stars who come to participate in the All-Star Weekend, in addition to participating in the game, community care, interviews, filming, and activities arranged by various sponsors, the schedule is completely full in a few days.

Lu Feng is like this. In the morning, he has to participate in the NBA's official community care activities, and in the afternoon, he has to participate in interviews and filming activities with other stars, and take pictures of all-star makeup and the like.

At the same time, Lu Feng's sneaker launch conference is also in the afternoon, and another press conference will be held.

There will be activities tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon, they will participate in the team training of the Western All-Stars. In the evening, they will go to the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest.

There is nothing to say about community activities, just play with some young fans, give them sports equipment, and then shoot some material.

In the afternoon, Lu Feng and Kemp met their teammates from the All-Star Game.

Although Kemp has a bad relationship with Malone, he will not show it in front of other people at this time.

Facing the camera, everyone is friendly and smiling.

After an afternoon of activities, Lu Feng felt that he was going to fall apart from exhaustion.

There are already many activities on the All-Star Weekend, which are more tiring than the commercial activities that the stars usually take on by themselves. It is no wonder that there are often stars who participate in the All-Star Weekend and come back in a bad state.

At this time, Lu Feng and Kemp rushed to participate in the team training of the Western All-Stars.

Said it was training, but the arena was full of reporters who came to the scene, and Adelman did not specifically emphasize any tactics.

In just one day, even if he wanted to practice some tactics, there was not enough time.

The only thing that needs to be done is to let the stars familiarize themselves, and then rely on their own golf quotient to cooperate.

After seeing that everyone was present, Adelman clapped his hands and said directly:

"We all know each other, no need for introductions, I just want to emphasize that I will let everyone play time, and I will not favor Clyde and Terry, but I hope you can share the ball, Don't have something on the pitch that I don't want to see."

After he finished speaking, Maji took the initiative to find Lu Feng and asked directly: "Luck, what position do you want to play, do you control the ball or should I control it?"

"I can do it, you can control the ball, you are more familiar with these people."

Maji smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you run well, my pass will definitely arrive!"

Hearing that Lu Feng was willing to give up the ball, Maji was a little happy. In the past few years, he has been playing the third position in the All-Star Game, but his off-ball skills and breakthroughs are not strong. Let him play the third position. It's not as easy as playing number four.

It is precisely because of this that Maggie's performance in the All-Star Game has not been good. During the 89 All-Star Game, he originally wanted to help Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was about to retire, get an AMVP.

As a result, Jerry Sloan cooperated with his two disciples and snatched AMVP away. This incident also became a regret in Maggie's heart.

Lu Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He was here to catch fish in the All-Star Game, so it didn't matter which position he played.

There was nothing wrong with the training, and Lu Feng and Kemp didn't encounter any crowding out, which made Lu Feng heave a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, Lu Feng came to the arena early and sat on the sidelines in a suit.

Before entering the arena, the reporter interviewed Lu Feng: "Luck, as the most anticipated person in this year's slam dunk contest, are you confident to win the slam dunk contest championship?"

Lu Feng opened his hands and said relaxedly: "Of course, the champion of the slam dunk contest, isn't it enough to have hands?"

The three-point contest was held first, and Lu Feng didn't need to change clothes immediately.

In addition, this year the league specially arranged for Maji to serve as the commentator for the two events.

In the three-point contest, Craig Hodges of the Bulls completed the defense. If there is no accident, he will still be the champion of next year's three-point contest.

Craig Hodges did not concede a goal in the first three points, and only conceded the last flower ball in the fourth point. He scored 4 points after 22 points, which is amazing.

In the three-point contest during this period, there were only five balls, which were placed at the end of the five shooting points.

When he scored a goal, the fans at the scene shouted, very regular.

When it came to the last point, Craig Hodges was too excited and nervous, and only scored two goals, not including the last flower ball, and finally scored 24 points, which did not break the 25 points he created last year. Record.

But it's still an unattainable achievement, enough for him to be remembered.

After the three-point contest, Lu Feng changed into his jersey and prepared for the dunk contest.

This year's All-Stars, those participating in the dunk contest are: Lu Feng, Sean Kemp, Dee Brown, Rex Chapman, Kenny Smith, Kenny Williams, Blue Edward Z, Kendall Gill.

A group of people are all rookies, and the ones with the greatest popularity advantage are undoubtedly Lu Feng and Kemp.

The NBA is also very good at coming, and they ranked the two in the last two positions to play, Kemp was second to last, and Lu Feng was last.

The first to play was Kenny Smith. He stood at the free throw line, turned around with the ball in both hands, and then threw the ball under his crotch with both hands.

After the basketball hit the ground and hit the board, Kenny Smith turned around and ran to the basket, caught the ball sideways, and dunked with both hands behind his back!

Lu Feng looked at it for a moment. To be honest, if he was asked to score the ball, the most popular score would be 8 points, but he scored 48.5 points!
3个10分，1个9分，一个9.5分！
Bruce Edwards, he took the ball at a 45° angle on the right, then rushed straight to the basket and was dunked with both hands.

The ball was not difficult, but still received warm applause from the fans, and then he scored 46 points.

After that, Dee Brown, Rex Chapman, Kenny Smith, Kenny Williams, and Kendall Gill played one after another. The only thing that made Lu Feng feel bright was Kendall Gill's goal 180° turn and fold back buckle.

After completing this dunk, he also scored the same 48.5 points as Kenny Smith, and the two tied for first place.

Lu Feng shook his head helplessly. The quality of this slam dunk contest is obviously not as good as the previous ones.

In the past few years, there has been no shortage of stars in the slam dunk contest. People such as Glider Drexler, Human Movie Elite Wilkins, and Air Jordan will also participate in the slam dunk contest.

It was also from 1990 that fewer and fewer stars participated in the slam dunk contest, and it gradually declined, and was even canceled by the league for a time!

After the others finished dunking, it was Kemp's turn to play...

As soon as Kemp came up, he raised his head high, his face full of confidence.

This is normal. After watching the dunks of the previous players, Kemp felt that he had stabilized. If everyone else was at this level, not to mention the championship, advancing to the second round would be a sure thing.

Kemp held the ball from the three-point line, took a few deep breaths, and went straight to the inside to kill.

After running to the free throw line, Kemp threw the ball to the backboard, quickly jumped up and turned around, grabbed the bounced basketball with one hand, turned around 360° and dunked Haidilaoyue with one hand——哐! ! !

Roar! ! !
"OMG! OMG! OMG!"

After Kemp dunked the ball, the fans stood up excitedly, covered their heads and kept shouting!

"Full marks! Full marks! Full marks!"

Maji also fell directly to the side, putting his weight on the poor commentator!

"Sonic 40, let's remember his name - "The Ruler", Sean Kemp!!!"

The referees in charge of scoring all excitedly wrote 10 points on the scoreboard, and then held it up high...

Kemp got a perfect score of 50!

Lu Feng also applauded his teammates excitedly. After Kemp stepped down, the two also clapped their hands.

"Luck looks very happy. He seems to have not figured out the situation. Sean is not his teammate now, they are opponents!"

"It's normal for him to have such confidence. To be honest, I even doubt that Sean's movements were designed by Lark!"

What Maji didn't know was that when he casually said a sentence, he accurately told the truth.

Lu Feng took the ball to the court, and instead of accelerating from the three-point line like others, he retreated to a position close to the center line.

"What is this, Lark wants to replicate the actions of Michael and Dominic?"

Jordan had previously won the slam dunk contest with two free throw line dunks, and the opponent he defeated at the time was Wilkins, who had defeated him in 1985.

And in 1990, Wilkins reproduced Jordan's dunk from the free throw line, and also won his second slam dunk contest championship, showing with action what it means to join if you can't beat it!
Wilkins: Big men dare to act boldly, so what if they steal it, is it different to be the champion of the slam dunk contest?
Lu Feng dribbled the ball directly, took a step inside the three-point line, and jumped up with the ball in his left hand.

But it's not over yet. After jumping up, Lu Feng stretched his legs and changed hands between his crotches—Boom! ! !

One step from the free throw line, the crotch changed hands, and the dunk!
"WOW!!!"

"Quick! Hurry up and hold me!"

"This is Rucker! I knew he could! His dunks never disappoint!"

Maji scolded the microphone and yelled frantically, spit flying everywhere!
Lu Feng's dunk also brought the atmosphere to the peak, and the fans couldn't wait to throw the "10 points" on their hands!
However, after Lu Feng dunked the basket, he was not the slightest bit excited. He just spread his hands, smiled contemptuously and said nothing, showing his arrogance!
50 points!
There is no doubt that Lu Feng also scored 50 points!
"That's awesome, Lark, how did you do it? I remember that the action you prepared wasn't this?"

Kemp grabbed Lu Feng's shoulder excitedly and asked while shaking.

Lu Feng shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "I thought about it temporarily. To be honest, the slam dunk contest is not as difficult as I imagined."

"Watfa, on the spur of the moment? God, how did your brain grow?"

After Lu Feng finished dunking, he and Kemp both got full marks, and they tied for the first place. The second dunk was still the last to play.

The NBA slam dunk contest is divided into three rounds, with two dunks in each round, first eight to four, then four to two, and finally the champion of the slam dunk contest.

When it came to the second deduction, the audience and judges had experienced the baptism of Kemp and Lu Feng, and the scores for others were obviously much lower.

Lu Feng thinks that the judges' second deduction score is much more reasonable than the first deduction, which is basically 8 or 9 points, and some referees even give people 7 points, because the players are all rookies, so the judges are not afraid Offend.

Others' dunks made Lu Feng call out his hot eyes. It was neither difficult nor entertaining, and the creativity was very ordinary.

Some people may not believe it, but in the slam dunk contest of this period, the most commonly used movements are not crotch and turning, but thinking about throwing the ball.

So what did these players come up with?
It's very simple. When throwing the ball, if you throw it with your right hand, block it with your left hand. If you throw it with your left hand, block it with your right hand. Or put the ball directly behind you and throw it forward come out.

Lu Feng couldn't understand the reason for doing this at all. Not only would it affect the speed and strength, but it was also unappreciative, like a move that only beginners who have just learned how to dunk will try.

And it's fine to block it with your hand sideways, but what is the operation of picking the ball from behind the buttocks?
The ball picked out in this way, because the movement is not good enough to exert force, the ball is thrown close and short, which is ugly and affects the continued movement in the future.

It's not that the NBA didn't have good-looking moves. In the 80s and 90s, many people used crotch and turn in the dunk contest.

Wilkins is someone who likes to play crotch and turn dunk, but for some reason, fewer and fewer people use it now.

Not to mention the crotch and turning around, a big windmill is much more beautiful than a dry button, but few people use it, absolutely!
Lu Feng knew that the slam dunk contest from 90 to 00 had been a failure. It was not until the UFO Vince Carter was born that the popularity of the slam dunk contest began to recover.

But he didn't expect to fail like this!

The main purpose of Lu Feng participating in the slam dunk contest is to win the slam dunk contest championship, which can not only attract popularity, but also sell shoes.

After the dunks were over, it was finally Kemp's turn to play. Before he played, Jordan came over and patted his butt.

"Boy, I'm almost falling asleep, give me a good buckle!"

There are no Bulls players in the slam dunk contest, even if Jordan came to support Kemp, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Michael, this is mine!"

Lu Feng also helped Kemp press his shoulder, and at the same time did not forget to make a joke to Jordan.

"I am very optimistic about him. I heard Falk say that this kid will sign with Nike at the end of the season. I am also his half-owner now. Of course there is no problem in supporting him in advance."

Jordan seemed to be in a good mood. At this time, he was still one of the shareholders of Nike, which was why Lu Feng kept choking on him, but he was able to maintain a smile when he met Lu Feng.

Similarly, now Lu Feng is also one of his cash cows, so Jordan will have a good attitude.

"I heard that Nike wants to cooperate with you and give you shares, Lark, what's the situation?"

As a shareholder of Nike, Jordan naturally heard the wind at the Nike shareholder meeting.

But what he couldn't figure out was why Nike would continue to give away shares now that it was clearly bigger.

When he first heard the news, Jordan was still a little angry, but Falk said that Lu Feng is a genius, and Nike has a long-term plan for doing this.

Jordan didn't understand these things, but Falk vowed to keep him from messing around.

"It's very simple, because I have what they want, and it's not just giving me shares directly, just exchanging shares."

Since designing sneakers for Lu Feng, Nike immediately saw the potential of new materials.

But what made them helpless was that they started too late, and many patents on the market had already been bought by Lu Feng.

To continue to develop new materials, Nike either spends time waiting, or develops slowly by itself.

Then, Nike decided to look at the sales effect of Lu Feng's first generation of sneakers. If they sell well, they will cooperate with Lu Feng, exchange shares and then share patents.

Lu Feng knew a little bit about Nike's thoughts, and he didn't resist the exchange of shares, and Nike also had a lot of technical patents that he needed, such as mold patents and so on.

Nike's idea is: Lu Feng only has a patent, and it is useless without a production line, so it will not pose a threat to them.

On the contrary, as long as Lu Feng becomes a minority shareholder of Nike, then Lu Feng and Nike will be locked up. Both will prosper and all will suffer, and they will definitely be able to make money with peace of mind!
After half a season, Nike has also confirmed: Lu Feng can't drink water!
Lu Feng is not only talented, but also his exercise habits are not easy to get injured, and it is difficult to think about it.

After Lu Feng briefly said something, Jordan looked at the sneakers on Lu Feng's feet and nodded.

"The sneakers look really good, how about wearing them?"

Lu Fengfan track: "It's better to wear, the shoes are very light, and the soles are soft enough, more comfortable than wearing AJ!"

Jordan smiled slightly and said: "In this case, remember to give me a pair, Michael will advertise for you for free, you don't need to thank me!"

Lu Feng: ...

Danzi, aren't you a shareholder yourself, and you still come to me for shoes?
Kemp didn't get a full score for the second dunk. This time, he went adrift and improvised a 360-degree turn around the basket for a dunk. Although he still scored 48 points, it was somewhat regrettable.

In fact, according to the judges' previous standards, this deduction should still be a full score, but now they have obviously raised the standard, and it is not so easy to get a full score.

Even though the first dunk was not as beautiful, Kemp still got huge cheers and support from the scene.

Lu Feng was really laughing now, because the sneakers Kemp was wearing were exactly the first generation of sneakers he released!
Everyone is in the same circle, and Nike also knows what Kemp and Falk are thinking. It is understandable that Lu Feng gave Kemp a pair of sneakers in advance.

And Nike also wanted Camp to wear Lu Feng's shoes before signing the contract. This is a free advertisement, don't want it for nothing!
"Kamp the Ruler, Rucker the Chosen, the Seattle Twins Rule the Slam Dunk Contest!"

"It's a pity that Sean didn't get a full score for the second dunk. I don't know if pulling apart can make up for this regret."

"It depends on him. If Lark wants to, he will definitely be able to do it. After all, he is one of the strongest dunkers in the league!"

"One?" Hearing what his partner said, Maggie immediately waved his hand, and then said: "I don't agree with this statement. In my opinion, Lark is the best dunker in the world, bar none!"

In the second dunk of the first round, Lu Feng thought for a while, and directly moved out of Carter's classic move.

He accelerated with the ball from the left, stepped into the paint area and jumped straight up, turning 360° clockwise in the air.

After that, Lu Feng grabbed the ball with his right hand and swung it in a semicircle—a 360° clockwise windmill with one hand!
Bang! ! !

"Full marks! Full marks! Full marks!"

"It's over! It's over!" Maji stretched out his body excitedly, holding the microphone and shouted: "There is no need to continue the competition, just give him the championship! Right now, immediately! Immediately!"

"This must be another perfect score, no one can beat Rucker on the dunk, no one!"

"Luck looks so relaxed, it's unbelievable. Watching him complete a difficult dunk is as easy as eating and drinking water!"

Sure enough, as Maji expected, Lu Feng's second deduction was still a full score of 50 points!
Not to mention the fans and audience, even the judges were all overjoyed, wishing they could bring American cigarettes and light them right away!
"This kid is really crazy, damn it, he doesn't want to challenge the full score to win the championship?"

"Yes, it must be so!"

"Gift Crab, guys, we can't just let him get away with it, it's really... well, you know."

"Okay then, you will give 9 points for the next dunk."

"why me?"

"You mentioned it yourself. If you don't come by yourself, do you want us to come?"

……

After two dunks, Lu Feng, Kemp, Kenny Smith, and Dee Brown advanced to the second round.

The first to appear was Kenny Smith, the golden partner of Fliggy in the future.

But right now he was in a bad mood, he was so nervous that he could hardly stand still, his face was covered with sweat, and there was no smile.

Kenny Smith swallowed, then gritted his teeth, and decided to take out his own action of pressing the bottom of the box.

He knew that he probably had no chance to win the championship, so he changed his goal to win the second place.

Kenny Smith: That's right, I'm going for second!

Byrd:? ? ?
Afterwards, Kenny Smith tried to hit the board alley and fold the back buckle, but unfortunately, he directly dunked the first ball, which attracted a lot of shouts now.

To make matters worse, because he was too nervous, his second dunk still failed.

Now the fans have sent shouts and whistles, wishing him a successful third dunk.

Unexpectedly, in the third dunk, Kenny Smith was discouraged by himself. He didn't dare to try the previous action again, so he made a 180° turn and dunk.

The judges also shook their heads and only gave 40 points.

The second dunk is the turn of Di Brown of the Celtics. He performed well in the first dunk. The self-throwing and self-dunking two-handed windmill back buckle is very complete. This dunk also allowed him to get a high score of 48 points. .

Kemp played third, and he needed Lu Feng's help for the first dunk.

Lu Feng holds the ball and stands outside the 45° paint area on the left to take the ball, while Kemp stands two steps outside the 60° three-point line on the right, ready to start.

After seeing Kemp start sprinting, Lu Feng directly smashed the ball to the ground, and the basketball bounced high.

Camp grabbed the basketball in the air, straightened his right hand, completed a 360° turn in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket!

boom! ! !
"What kind of slam dunk is this? The slam dunk contest can still cooperate like this. God, how did the two of them come up with it!"

"Believe me, Luck is not without opponents. His biggest opponent is none other than his teammate - Sean Kemp!"

50 points!
The judges decisively gave Kemp a high score of 50 points for the double-dunk dunk that had never been seen before!

Only in the second round, there were 3 times of 50 points. This is a crazy performance that has never been seen before in the slam dunk contest!
But the game wasn't over yet. After Kemp finished dunking, it was Lu Feng's turn to play!
Then others saw that Kemp was standing one step outside the reasonable collision zone, holding the ball above his head with both hands.

what is this?
Come again?

Everyone was wondering what kind of dunk Lu Feng would make.

The only problem is, if Kemp holds the ball in this position, how will Lu Feng dunk?

There is absolutely no space under the basket, what is he going to do?
But thinking that it was Lu Feng who was going to dunk, the audience had expectations again...

It's hard to say anything else, just talking about dunks, let's just say - you can always trust Lu Feng!

"Luck stands outside the three-pointer, let's see how he is going to complete the dunk!"

"Start the sprint, Rucker... oh! Rucker flew past Sean Kemp!"

"God, Lark rode directly over Sean's head, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable!"

This ball, after Lu Feng sprinted, jumped high, and at the same time raised his feet together, flew over Kemp's head, and at the same time picked up the ball with his hands and dunked it in, as if riding on Kemp's head.

There is no doubt that this goal is still 50 points!
It can only be 50 points!
Seeing such a performance, no matter how harsh the judges were, they couldn't give an option other than 10 points!

Seeing that Kemp and Lu Feng both scored 50 points, Di Brown's mentality collapsed.

He had prepared several moves, and he was bound to win the slam dunk contest, but he didn't expect to meet two immortal opponents at the same time.

Now let alone win the championship, it is even difficult for him to advance to the finals!

Although there were no mistakes, Dee Brown scored only 46 points for the second dunk after the judges raised the bar, basically missing the final.

In the second dunk of the second round, Kemp did not continue to let Lu Feng cooperate, but he still used the moves that Lu Feng had prepared for him.

Kemp tossed the ball high into the sky, then slowly accelerated, grabbed the basketball after it landed in the paint, turned around 180°, changed hands under the crotch, and folded the back buckle!

When it came to the second button, Lu Feng was not so fancy.

He reproduced Jordan's free throw line dunk, and took off without touching the free throw line with his toes. After gliding in the air, Lu Feng stretched his body.

But instead of laying his feet flat and straight, he took a javelin pose, with one leg bent in front and the other behind...

boom! ! !
Full score!

Consecutive full marks!

Still full marks!
Lu Feng and Kemp both advanced to the finals with full marks in the second round!
"Let's congratulate Rucker and Sean, they made it to the finals of the dunk contest!"

"Let's congratulate the Sonics, their twin stars dominate the dunk contest!"

Seattle fans saw that the Supersonic Twins have both advanced to the finals of the Slam Dunk Contest, and they just want to say: It’s crazy, we’ve won it now!

　I have something to go out today, I wanted to ask for leave, but I couldn't...

　　Sorry for the poor word count tomorrow.
