From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 169 Zhan, Wei, Jiang, the Peak Showdown (2)

The rules of the finals have been changed. It is also divided into two rounds, and each player dunks a basket. After dunking, a basic score will be generated.After the two dunks, No.3 is eliminated, and the two with higher ranking will enter the next round of finals, also known as the peak matchup.

It sounds exciting, doesn't it?

This competition system is very cruel. The idea of ​​the league is very simple. If there are many participants, then we will play the most intense game. If we reach the finals, we must come up with our own dunks at the bottom of the box for every dunk. Otherwise, what is the purpose of inviting you over?

When it came to the finals, the order of appearances changed, because the three players had the same score in the first round, and the rankings could not be distinguished. The referees added a new rule temporarily.

Free throws determine the order of appearance. Whoever makes the most consecutive free throws will play last.

The first person to go to the free throw line was James. He made three consecutive free throws and hit the iron. The second was Wiggins who made seven consecutive free throws. The third was Jiang Hu. Seeing the results of the two of them, he After hitting eight free throws in a row, he took the initiative to stop.

The order of appearances in the finals is determined, and the first person to appear is James.

James was the first to play, and he did not seek cooperation. Although his physical fitness is good, he is too strong. He also knows his own strength. It is impossible to play a more powerful dunk than Jianghu and Wiggins. Get started and see if you can get some sentimental votes.

He took off his practice uniform, revealing the Raptors Carter jersey hidden inside.

"Hey, pay tribute to cousin!!!"

"Playing tribute again, convinced... don't you have your own tricks?"

Everyone also saw James' plan, and there was a lot of discussion. Some people thought it was a good idea, and some still wanted to see more exciting dunks.

Moreover, there are too many classic dunk pictures left by Carter, and everyone does not know which dunk he wants to pay tribute to.

But soon everyone knew that James came in with the ball at the top of the arc on the left arc, turned 180 degrees in the air, turned from his back to the basket to face the basket, and then used a violent round of arms. The buckle completes the finish.

James completed the slam dunk with only one shot. After landing, he imitated Carter's celebration posture, with his hands facing the sky in an archery position, and then wiped his neck and shouted:
"it's over!!"

"it's over!!!"

The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, and the fans of Staples stood up one after another and gave a huge cheer for James! ! !

Carter on the judging panel recognized at a glance that this was his 2000 championship button, but he just applauded with a smile on his face, and he didn't look very excited...

James' dunks are indeed far behind those he dunked in 2000. They have a stronger sense of power and relatively complete movements, but they lack the combination of power and chic.

But in order to express his encouragement to the younger generation, he gave 10 points at the first time.

"Rubbish!!"

The other judges gave 10 points, and Jordan gave 9 points again. In his eyes, this dunk is not at the same level as Carter's dunk back then. He witnessed that dunk at the scene, the elegance of the dunk And chic, stretch in the air, and sense of power are all ahead of this time. He originally wanted to give 8 points, but Kobe sitting next to him held his hand, so he gave 9 points...

With a total score of 49 points, James looked a little unhappy, but after seeing that the person who gave 9 points was Jordan, he felt bad and had other ideas.

He thought that his speech had paved the way for him to retreat, and he immediately felt relieved, and put on a smiley expression with his hands clasped together, as if he didn't care about the result.

"Those two guys in the back don't know how many people are hiding

How about a dunk?"

The next one to play is Wiggins. In fact, Wiggins is quite satisfied with this order of appearance. He originally hoped to play in front of Jianghu and dunk a perfect dunk, thus putting pressure on Jianghu
Wiggins once again invited his teammate Towns to cooperate with him to complete this dunk.

Towns went straight to his position, raised the ball to a suitable height familiarly, and he couldn't be more familiar with what happened next, because they had done it countless times during training, but every time he successfully completed it, he would She was dumbstruck in shock.

"The game is over."

"Old man, go down and rest!!"

Wiggins stepped back and challenged James to wipe his neck.

He came to the game to beat James, and he prepared for a long time, not only for dunks, but also for celebrations and provocations.

This action is Carter's classic celebration action. It seems that these jumpers who love to play dunks basically regard Carter as an idol.

Seeing Wiggins' arrogant appearance, even the Jianghu on the sidelines began to look forward to, what kind of cooperation between Wiggins and Downs will be completed?Free throw line lob?Then what?It must be more than empty picks, but Jianghu didn't guess what happened after the empty picks.

Wiggins stepped back into the backcourt and started sprinting, this time he didn't have the ball, the ball was in Towns' hands
Wiggins started, and Towns kept a close eye on Wiggins' position, ready to send him assists in the most suitable place.

Sprinting to the free throw line, Wiggins takes off and stretches his body in the air.

Towns threw the ball high, just at the position Wiggins is most familiar with, and Wiggins caught it firmly with one hand.

Is it an alley-oop at the free throw line?
not that simple! ! !
Wiggins forcibly threw his body in the middle, turned his body 360 degrees while gliding in the air, hovered in the air for a moment, and when he was about to fall, he vigorously filled the basket with both hands.

“Nice!!!!”

"Wardfa!!"

"The 360-degree turn and dunk at the free throw line, perfect coordination, perfect completion of the movement!!"

"Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!"

Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines, had already fallen into a frenzy, tearing off his tie and shouting into the microphone.

The camera showed O'Neal, and O'Neal also opened his mouth and eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, as if he had returned to the slam dunk contest in 2000.

Jordan and Kobe on the sidelines also showed an incredible look, looked at each other, and then pressed 10 points without hesitation.

There is no doubt that Wiggins's action is one of the strongest actions in the slam dunk contest so far. What's even more outrageous is that he only used it once to get it done. Wiggins' dunk talent really did not let people down. expectations.

Undoubtedly, 10 points, 10 points, all 10 points, neither the fans nor the judges hesitated, and Jordan was the first judge to give 10 points.

Zhang Weiping, who was commentating the game on the spot, couldn't help but seep sweat from his forehead, and said nervously: "Next, the pressure will be on Jiang Hu, who will play in the finale. After such a dunk, it's hard to imagine what kind of dunk he will respond with!!! "

Jianghu sat on the sidelines and admired for a long time, and he was also shocked by Wiggins' dunk ability.

I have to admit that Wiggins' physical talent is really against the sky, and he deserves to be a man who bounces a little higher than himself! !

"Nice dunk."

"But want to win me? It's still difficult!!"

"You don't know what I have prepared..."

Without the slightest panic, Jiang Hu went straight to the sidelines and picked up a basketball.

"Jianghu didn't find teammates, so he chose to come by himself."

"What wonderful moves will he bring us??"

"Let's look forward to it together!"

Jianghu dribbled the ball to the midfield chewing gum in his mouth, without giving the commentator or the fans time to react.

As soon as you come up, you start dribbling and accelerating.Sprint to the front of the free throw line, touch the free throw line with your toes, and take off with both feet at the same time.

Keep going up and up again! ! !

Then the ball was changed from the left hand to the right under the crotch in the air, and continued to glide. ! !

"boom."

The rim was smashed with a loud bang, which was broadcast through the Staples Center along the loudspeakers.

Then Jianghu landed on both feet, and tried his best to adjust the center of gravity in the air! !
After landing smoothly, Jiang Hu stood motionless on the ground, with his hands folded, staring at the bottom line camera expressionlessly, chewing gum in his mouth! ! !
Everyone was dumbfounded.

Shock!

Dumbfounded!

The sudden start of Jianghu made the audience and judges on the scene a little unresponsive. It was not until Jianghu landed that they started to stand up and cheer two beats later.

The audience went crazy, and the sound reached hundreds of decibels almost instantly! ! !
The expressions of the spectators in the front row should be as exaggerated as possible. Towns opened his mouth wide open and was stunned. Wiggins frowned tightly and watched the replay above his head. Kobe got up and made the same movement as he saw Shannon Brown take off his cap. , LaVine kept looking at the big screen with his head in his hands, repeating a word in his mouth:
"unbelievable!!!"

"unbelievable!!!"

Even the opponent in the arena, LeBron James, the face of the league, was stunned. Looking at the big screen above his head, he was completely dumbfounded.

The audience on the sidelines felt that Jianghu's dunk had reached a state of perfection.

With an understatement, James, who has been in this league for more than ten years, can feel the fear from the bottom of his heart. It is so terrifying!
This is the bearing of a real dunk king!

Quite a royal demeanor!
The kind of understatement after completing a dunk, chewing gum with a relaxed face, as if he just completed a free throw, is something that no number of actor actors can imitate.

The teammates on the sidelines, Brown, Smart, and Rozier looked at Jianghu with more and more admiration.

Jianghu never practiced dunks in the team. He practiced at home by himself. His teammates thought he was here for a cutscene to have fun, but they didn't expect it.

It is human nature to worship the strong.

People with ability, popularity, and status will have their own aura and form a strong attraction for everyone, regardless of gender.

"Ow..."

TNT's commentary team didn't realize that their own job is commentary until they cried and howled for a long time.

O'Neal said dumbfounded: "If I'm not mistaken, Jiang completed a crotch change at the free throw line and received a two-handed windmill dunk????"

"Another full free throw line, he jumps from beyond the free throw line again and finally dunks, he is not jumping, he is really flying!!!"

Buckley pointed at the screen and yelled, "Michael, don't call yourself Flying Man anymore, this title should belong to Jiang!!"

"There are three biggest difficulties in this movement, one is the distance from the free throw line, the second is the change of hands under the crotch, and the most important point is that he changed from one hand to two-handed windmill in the air at the end!!! "

"Switching hands under the crotch and then changing hands again, this is much more difficult than a simple windmill at the free throw line!!"

"No one has ever dunked like this, this is definitely an inhuman action!!!"

"Exaggerated sense of power, light air movements, Jianghu combined all these flawlessly!!!"

"This is the hardest dunk in the history of the dunk contest, can I say that?"

"Of course, there is no doubt about it, at least I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never seen such a more powerful dunk!!!"

"He did so many moves in the air, but looking at his posture on the ground, it is so stable!!!"

"Like I jumped off a matchbox!!"

"Kill the game, really kill the game, if I say this is the best slam dunk ever in the slam dunk contest, I think there should be no objection!!!"

"no doubt!!!"

"And I love the way he lands, I can describe it in one word!!"

"What word??"

"King style!!"

Jiang Hu stood there with his hands folded, chewing gum non-stop.

The auditorium fell into complete madness.

The five bigwigs in the judges' seat were still watching the replay on the big screen above their heads intently. They didn't realize that they hadn't scored yet until the staff urged them.

10 points.

5 out of 10, 50 out of [-].

The five judges finished scoring almost in an instant. Anyone who hesitated for the slightest is disrespectful to this dunk, and will definitely be blackmailed after the game.

And no one would risk the world to score 9 points...

Jordan didn't have any idea of ​​scoring 9 points, and he was afraid of being sprayed blind.

"50 points, a perfect dunk without a doubt!!"

"A lot of times, 50 points is just the full score for the slam dunk contest, but not the full score for this dunk. If I were to give it, I would give it 1000 points!!!"

After the judges finished scoring, Jiang Hu put away his arrogant posture and calmly returned to his seat.

"This pretending, it's fun!!"

Jianghu's flawless dunk undoubtedly affected the confidence of the other two contestants.

After all, it is quite shocking to see someone else perform an action in front of you that you can't do yourself...

James' second dunk action is a self-throwing and self-dunk turning and folding back buckle.

He threw the ball to the backboard from the right side of the free throw line, and then came to the left to catch the ball and fold the back dunk. He almost folded together in the air, and then smashed in with his back to the basket.

With James' height of nearly 206cm, it is not easy to complete this movement without hitting his head on the backboard. It can be seen that he has put in a lot of hard work to practice.

If there is no Jianghu's previous dunk, James' dunk can guarantee him a perfect dunk. Although his movements are amazing and the degree of difficulty is very high for his height, it is not as good as Jianghu's historical level dunk. It's much worse.

The five judges were probably still immersed in the slam dunks of the rivers and lakes, and they all gave 9 points tacitly.

This kind of score caused great dissatisfaction among the fans. Indeed, James’ dunk is not as wonderful as Jianghu’s, but not to mention, 48/49 points should be normal. If this dunk should be a perfect score in most years Just dunk.

Although James has no hope of advancing, he is still very concerned about his score, at least he has to lose decently. He thinks that this dunk can be ranked in the top five of this competition, but his score is ridiculously low.

He frowned and spread his hands, expressing his incomprehension of the score
"Arevoukidding??"

"Are you serious?"

After looking at their scores, the five judges all smiled awkwardly.

They all thought that other people would give 10 points, and then they chose to give 9 points here, so that there would be a score of 49 points, but they didn't expect that everyone's ideas would be so unified, and then there would be five neat 5 points. point.

Fortunately, the scores of the slam dunk contest can be changed. After discussion among the five people, the other four finally gave 10 points, Jordan gave 9 points, and finally got 49 points, which was just in line with the psychological expectations of the audience for this dunk. .

After all, although James' dunk is powerful, if it is used to swap hands with Jianghu's free throw line with one hand, and Wiggins' free throw line 360° dunk, it is almost meaningless.

After scoring 49 points, James felt a little more comfortable. He didn't want to come to the dunk contest, but Xiao Hua's words clearly meant that he had to come.

"I'm old, I'm not as healthy as before!!"

He had no choice but to make full preparations for this year's slam dunk contest and put all the difficult moves he could challenge on the stage.

But even so, he is still no match for the young man.

Talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. This rule will never be broken.
