From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 166 The slam dunk contest begins, and the black panther debuts
After confirming to win the championship, Jiang Hu was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate fiercely. Owen, Smart, Jaylen Brown, and Horford who came to the scene rubbed their hands crazily at Jiang Hu.

He prepared carefully before the game, and his hairstyle was completely messed up with wax and hairspray.

Smart, the sixth son, got a bucket out of nowhere and filled it with a whole bucket of Gatorade to splash the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, Jianghu's body is relatively flexible, and he hid in the crowd with a short body. Brown was miserable, smiling all over his face, then getting drenched head to toe with a bottle of Gatorade...

Jianghu took advantage of this opportunity to slip out of the crowd, he was unwilling to get in close contact with this group of big bosses.

Jianghu finally slipped out, and was caught by Miller's sister, Shemir Miller. The official reporter wanted to interview, and Baoer naturally couldn't refuse.

"Hey, Jiang, now that you are the champion, can you tell me how you feel?"

Looking at the camera with a messy hair, Jianghu smiled and said, "I'm very happy to win this time. The opponent's level is very high, which stimulated me to shoot at a high level."

Miller went on to ask: "Before the game started, could you imagine yourself breaking the record and getting 33 points?"

Jianghu shook his head and said with a smile: "I have imagined myself winning the championship more than once, because I shot fairly well in the usual training, so I am very confident in the championship. But in the end, I was able to shoot 33 points, which is an incredible result. I was also shocked, this is the first time I have shot such a result in an official game with others, and my best record was 32 points in the team's three-point game before."

Cheryl Miller asked again: "How do you evaluate your opponents Stephen and Clay?"

"Great, no doubt, they are great opponents, it is an honor for me to play against them, and it is still very exciting to win the championship against Stephen and Klay, they are both too strong Now, the position in the three-point field is like Jordan and O'Neal."

Cheryl Miller asked again: "So what are your expectations for the next three-point contest, and will you continue to participate?"

Jianghu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If there is no accident, I will participate in the three-point contest again next year. This competition is very interesting. There are more and more three-point masters in the league. If it is not for the pressure they give, I will not be able to Such an unbelievable score."

"I hope to defend this title."

"And I don't think we had a real win or loss in today's game. Me and Stephen, we both missed a ball, but I missed the orange ball and he missed the suit ball."

"So, if I can, I don't mind doing it again for this exciting game."

When Jianghu said this, his eyes looked at Stephen Curry on the sidelines. Curry was taken aback for a moment, and then gestured to Jianghu with an OK gesture.

"Just now, Stephen agreed to come to the competition next year, and I am very much looking forward to playing against him again, because in the field of three-pointers, he is the goal that all of us want to surpass!!!"

There was a direct showdown in the rivers and lakes. When the camera came to Curry on the sidelines, he was still in a daze, and then immediately smiled at the camera again and gave an OK gesture.

Cheryl Miller said excitedly:
"Thank you for accepting our interview."

"It's great, I'm already looking forward to the next game just after the game."

"Many fans at the scene and in front of the TV should agree with me. They are also full of expectations for next year's three-point contest. A strong three-pointer will bring us a fierce confrontation in the next game."

"This kid is fine, it's no use taking care of him!!"

Sitting in the Staples VIP room, accompanied by the Lakers owner Jenny Buss, president Xiao Hua also had a look of joy on his face, secretly thinking that this kid is sensible, and just after the game ended, people's expectations for the next game were aroused.

After the interview, Vice President Mark Tatum presented Jianghu with the trophy for the champion of the three-point shot contest, and then returned to the sidelines again to start preparing for the next event.

At this time, the fans have shifted their attention from the three-point contest to the slam dunk contest. The fans thought that the slam dunk contest without Gordon and LaVine would be an extremely boring event. Wiggins announced his participation one after another, and people once again aroused their passion for the slam dunk contest. It is no exaggeration to describe it as hopeless.

The list of judges for this year's slam dunk contest can also be described as luxurious. The five judges originally planned by the NBA this year are Julius Erwin, Chris Rock, Mark Hullberg, and Lisa.Les Lyle and DJ Khaled, apart from Owen, are all figures in the showbiz.

But as the three-person matchup between Jianghu, James, and Wiggins was heated up by people, Xiao Hua, a clever ghost, also made a quick decision and temporarily changed the list of judges, replacing all the judges with legendary players in the basketball world.

They are: "Dr. J" Julius Owen, "Human Movie Essence" Dominique Wilkins, "Black Mamba" Kobe, "UFO" Vince Carter, "Flying Man" Michael Jordan.

The 5 people on the judging panel are all the champions of the slam dunk contest in history, and some of them were even considered to be at the level of the slam dunk ceiling in their era.

Even Kobe, who is considered to be a poor rookie slam dunk contest champion, has always been at the TOP level among guards in actual NBA dunks.

"No one is better at dunking than Kobe."

This sentence may sound exaggerated, but at least after Kobe retired, Jianghu has not seen a decent buckle in the league for a long time.

Xiao Hua has always been very good at hype, and there is one thing to know: the former Clippers owner was killed by public opinion by him.

This time Xiao Hua saw people's expectations for Wiggins vS Jianghu VS James, so he simply heated up and invited this group of strongest judges. What he has to do is to make this slam dunk contest a classic , and became a classic game that people will still talk about many years later.

It has to be said that Xiao Hua is indeed a good player in terms of marketing. There is a reason why the NBA's profits in his hands are higher than before.Although he failed to push the influence of the NBA forward, and was always criticized by people for making the game more and more ugly, he managed to make every team in the league earn money.

"I wipe, Danzi is here too..."

When Jianghu saw Kobe, he felt happy. This is Staples, and it is normal for Kobe to watch the game.

The next second I saw Jordan, I panicked again...

He was a little afraid that Jordan would come and deliberately screw him with 9 points like a big cheek gang. When he scored a 60+ triple-double at the Hornets' home court last time, Danzi was almost out of breath.

But after thinking about it, Jianghu still doesn't think Jordan can do such a thing.

He is a shameless person and never considers himself a GOAT.

Others say that he is GOAT, but he never gets close to his face, saying that other people are great, and players of different eras cannot compare.

There is a high probability that this kind of person will not be able to do the kind of thing that competes with the younger generation...

Los Angeles time, at 10 pm, the slam dunk contest officially kicked off.

"Okay, audience friends, let's go back to the scene, the slam dunk contest is about to start, and the players are starting to enter."

As the hottest part of the All-Star Contest, the Slam Dunk Contest is much more gorgeous than the previous three-point contest.

A high platform was set up in the center of the stadium, the purple and gold lights were brilliant, the auditorium was dark, and the light reflected by the mobile phone was like a sky full of stars.

On the high platform are cheerleaders with good faces and enchanting figures. The girls come from various teams in the league. Each of them is carefully selected by the league. No matter in figure or appearance, they are all top-notch. The cheerleaders are smiling On the stage, he swayed his vitality wantonly, danced vigorously, and looked forward to being spotted by a big star on the sidelines.

The live DJ is introducing the contestants of this dunk contest one by one.

"The Chosen One from the Cleveland Cavaliers, 3-time NBA Champion, 4-time MVP Regular Season MVP, 3-time Finals MVP, No. 23 LeBron James"

"Victor Oradela from the Indiana Pacers."

"Larry Nance jr from the Los Angeles Lakers."

"Dennis Smith from the Dallas Mavericks."

"Andrew Wiggins from the Minnesota Timberwolves."

"From the Boston Celtics."

The first person to appear was James. Obviously, the official valued James’ status. When he appeared, the introduction was longer than everyone else, and the others only had 1 minute of video highlights, while his highlights were as long as 3. minute.

When Larry Nance Jr. came out, there were strong cheers at the scene. This is his home court. Except for Ball and Ingram in the rookie game, he was the only Lakers player to participate in the All-Star Game.

When Jianghu played, there were a lot of cheers and boos. There were many Chinese fans in Staples, California, almost half of them were.

Chinese fans have almost fallen in love with Jianghu, and they clearly realize that this young man will definitely become a superstar in this league in the future.

Those who booed were all local fans in Los Angeles. They also knew very well that the rise of Jianghu was unstoppable. If he was not injured, he would definitely be one of the future faces of this league.

It's just that he comes from the arch-enemy Boston, which is unacceptable to Los Angeles fans.

The six contestants all stood on the high platform and waved. Jianghu could feel it. Except for James and Jianghu, everyone was very nervous. Even Wiggins, who usually laughed all day long, turned into a good boy this time. Standing motionless in position, not to mention players like Oladipo and Larry Nance who are already relatively peaceful.

No way, the oppressive force of the judges sitting in the jury is too strong. The creator of the free throw line dunk "Dr. J" Julius Erwin, the free throw line dunk is like the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan who eats and drinks, Wilkins, the "human movie essence" who fought 300 rounds with the flying man in the slam dunk contest, Carter, the most powerful "alien" in the modern NBA dunk contest, and even Kobe, who was suspected of being a low-level slam dunk contest champion, did not compete in the actual dunk contest. It is also ranked at least in the top three among modern forwards and guards.

It is normal for such a group of great gods to sit on the judging panel to be nervous.

James is not nervous because his position is here. Except for Jordan, the rest of the people on the field may have better skills than him, but no one can surpass him in history.

The rivers and lakes are not nervous, because they are not normal people.

He has no idea what tension is...

Because he is confident, his level is no worse than anyone on the judges' bench in terms of dunking. Even if his opponent is Carter, he still has the strength to fight.

After receiving the league's arrangement, he has been preparing for the slam dunk contest. After winning the All-Star ticket, he got three advanced attribute experience cards, plus the remaining experience cards and accumulated wins , his account reached 72, and he added all the experience points to his jumping ability, which brought his jumping ability value to 95, basically not losing to any opponent in this league.

With the blessing of such a jumping ability, coupled with his height and wingspan, he is confident that his own dunk ability will not lose to anyone.

People with the same mentality as Jiang Hu also have James, who stands on the stage with a smile, and his expression is also very calm.

Maybe this is the self-confidence brought by sufficient confidence...
"Judging from the state of the players before the game, only Jianghu and LeBron are more like champions. The other players have lost a lot in terms of temperament!!"

Before the commentary was finished, he suddenly saw Jiang Hu running down from the high platform and walking to the judges' table.

Jiang Hu first gave Kobe a high five, then lightly bumped his shoulder, and then got acquainted with the seniors one by one.

"Hey Michael, nice to see you again!!"

After embracing Kobe, Jianghu walked towards Jordan with a smile on his face. It could be seen that Jordan's smile was a little unnatural, but this time he maintained the demeanor of a basketball god, and he didn't care about breaking records with Jianghu at the Hornets' home court. Instead, he chose to smile and shake hands with Jianghu.

Of course, any fool can see how forced Jordan's smile is.

The reason why Jiang Hu came up to greet everyone before the game is also to remind the old man that we are now a game, and it is best not to bring grievances from other places here.

However, Jianghu is obviously over-concerned. The reason why the God of Basketball is the God of Basketball is that he always wins with integrity and integrity.

He didn't even bother to use those dirty and disgraceful means. His career has always been to convince others with strength, and whoever refuses to accept it will be beaten until he is convinced.

After a brief introduction, the dunk contest officially began.

Today's final was a little different from usual. The original four contestants in the dunk contest had been increased to six.

The pattern of the finals is 6 to 3, and the outside world generally agrees that only Jianghu, James and Wiggins will make it to the finals of this slam dunk contest...
The other three could only try their best to get as high a score as possible and snatch a spot from one of the three.

In the first round, six players take turns dunking, and the judges score points. Each judge gives each player a maximum score of 10 points, and a single dunk can get up to 50 points.

Two dunks in the first round, the highest score for a single player is 100 points, and the lowest score is 60 points.If the dunk fails, there is still a chance to make a dunk, but the ball that has already been dunked cannot be dunked again.

So in this game, everyone's thinking was very simple, and they did not hold back in the first round, using what they had learned all their lives.

Ready to go, the game officially begins.

The first one to play was Oladipo. He was wearing a black panther suit and was very angry. The black panther star Chadwick Boseman on the sidelines also came to the sidelines to cheer for Oladipo.

The only regret is that he didn't wear a headgear, and the overall look is a bit nondescript.

Oladipo's appearance in such clothes also aroused fierce cheers from the scene.

Black Panther is a hero favored by blacks in the United States. After all, he is a rare black superhero. Moreover, his character and experience in the movie symbolize resistance to injustice, and are also highly respected by blacks.

Oladipo waved to the surrounding fans and signaled to the staff that after the Panthers star Bosman came to the court, he began his first dunk.

Before the game started, Oladipo took out the Black Panther mask and put it on his face, and the crowd cheered wildly again.

Bosman started first, Oladipo followed, Bosman hit the ball on the side of the backboard, Oladipo jumped high, caught the ball bounced off the side of the backboard, most of his body was still behind the backboard , Stretched out his long arm and pressed the ball into the basket.

"Oh, beautiful action, it seems that Victor is well prepared."

The world is also eye-catching. This ball is not new. First of all, Oladipo's take-off height is very high, and his head has surpassed the backboard. If he didn't tilt his head, he might hit his head. Broken blood.

Secondly, Oladipo dunked the ball behind the backboard, which required strong body control, and also showed the advantage of his wingspan. Coupled with the clothes of the superhero Black Panther, the completion of the whole action is quite good. It's complete, and it's more aesthetically pleasing.

The judges began to score, Dr. J 9 points, Wilkins 9 points, Kobe 10 points, Carter 9 points, Jordan 9 points, a total of 46 points.

Oladipo's first dunk scored 46 points. The scores scored by such a lineup of judges are actually pretty good.
