NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 139 Slam Dunk Contest
David Stern looked to the sidelines with some regret. Neither the Shooting Star game nor the skill challenge aroused his interest. Li Zheng's indifferent attitude in the three-point contest had already driven the New Orleans fans into a frenzy. The slam dunk contest is destined to be extremely exciting.

Tonight's slam dunk contest includes Warcraft Howard, Nine-finger dunk king Gerald Green, new bear king Rudy Gay, and finally a miracle. The absence of James made this battle destined to be less than perfect. David Stern's face changed slightly when he thought of this, James' weakness made him a little disappointed.

It’s just the slam dunk contest. Whether Lee wins or LeBron wins, it’s a good thing for this league. It attracts fans to make gimmicks. These are the professional jobs of players. James’ evasion made David Stern very dissatisfied. Their team It's too utilitarian, and James' behavior undoubtedly hurt the interests of the league.

The list of judges for today's slam dunk contest shows how big the league has set up for the duel between the two. Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, Dr. J, Magic Johnson and Dominique Wilkins, the list of judges is extremely luxurious. Knowing that Jordan Kobe and Carter have been judges for a year last year, it took a lot of thought to invite David Stern again. James' absence makes this game always regrettable.

Opponents like Howard, Rudy Gay, and Gerald Green are really disappointing. What fans want to see is the collision of James and Lee in the finals. , the fans can only hope that Li Zheng can bring them something new, and then he will be crowned king as a matter of course.

Rudy Gay played seriously. He chose a less difficult two-handed windmill dunk. This kind of dunk failed to arouse any interest from the judges. Jordan took out a 6-point scoring card with a serious face, and Carter only gave it a 7-point score. The others scored 7 points, 8 points and 7 points respectively. In the end, Rudy Gay's slam dunk only scored a poor 35 points.

Howard played cheerfully. He came behind the backboard, hit the ball on the backboard and then dunked with one hand in a big windmill!The audience exclaimed, this is an extremely difficult dunk, and the judges unanimously held up the 10-point scoring board. Howard showed a hearty smile and bumped his chest with his friend Nelson to celebrate.

The third came to the defending champion Gerald Green. The staff set up a ladder and put a cake on the basket with a burning candle on it. Gerald Green jumped high after a run-up. Blowing out the candles before dunking and dunking the basketball heavily into the hoop, but this action did not seem to attract the attention of the judges. Each of them was very critical. In the end, they only gave Gerald Green a score of 44 points .

Gerald Green was a little discouraged. He was not satisfied with such a score. He looked at the field worriedly. Li Zheng entered the field wearing a white Blazers jersey, and what was more eye-catching was the fluorescent sneakers under the lights.

"Lee has a pair of good shoes, okay. Let's focus on his dunk, Lee won't screw it up." Barkley explained with a smile, as Lee entered the arena to the sound of passionate music, "50! 50!" Throughout the arena, Jordan tightened his suit and pouted to look at the confident Li Zheng on the court.

After accepting a brief interview, Li Zheng asked Roy to reach for the ball and stand on the left side of the rack. The audience looked at the field nervously. I chose to take off at a relatively long distance, turned around during the gliding process, and when I was halfway through the turn, my right hand accurately grasped the basketball in Roy's hand. Slams the ball into the hoop on the way down from the highest point.

There was a loud "bang!", and the audience exclaimed "omg", and Barkley jumped up excitedly, "It's over! The game is over! Lee! The first ball! This is the warm-up!"

Roy rushed in front of Li Zheng and hugged him heavily. Li Zheng's pioneer teammates rushed to the field like crazy, ruffling Li Zheng's hair like crazy.

Kobe, who was watching the game off the court, shook his head again and again in disbelief. The audience on the sidelines, whether they were celebrities or ordinary fans, held up 10-point signs, and the voice of "50! 50!" resounded through the arena again.

50 points.

The faces of Li Zheng's opponents were a little gloomy. When Li Zheng came up, he taught them a lesson without talking about martial arts. If he kept his big moves, they had to go home. They were obviously more serious in the second round.

Gay's dunk with a windmill under the basket was very good in terms of aesthetics and difficulty, and the judges also scored 48 points. However, Gay himself knew that he basically bid farewell to the finals, so he performed exceptionally well. On the contrary, he behaved much more calmly than in the first round.

Howard put on Superman's costume, jumped from the free throw line amidst the cheers and laughter of the audience, and slammed the ball into the basket. Although the difficulty and aesthetics of this dunk were not high, it was It was a show, and Howard's superman performance undoubtedly added a lot of points. The unanimous 10 points of the judges also fully reflected the principle of the slam dunk contest. Entertainment fans are always the first choice.

Gerald Green also gave up the fancy idea. His opponent shot the ball behind the rebound. He scored 50 points but he knew that his road to defending the title ended early.

As a dunk player who is free to flat-frame in actual combat and the new king touted by the league, Li Zheng will not score less than 44 points in any dunk, which means that he has lost the qualification to compete. Gerald Green sat patiently Seat, waiting for Li Zheng's performance, although he was a little dissatisfied, but Li Zheng's dunk was worthy of full marks.

Li Zheng patted the ball lightly to feel the elasticity of the ball, and exhaled lightly. Li Zheng stood one step inside the three-point line, and the audience looked forward to the field. There were no other players to cooperate and the run-up distance was very short. , what kind of dunk will Lee use to shock the audience?

Then their eyes changed from anticipation to panic, and then the actions of countless people changed to putting their hands on both sides of their heads in unison, because they saw an incredible ball.

Li Zheng blasted the ball vigorously. After a slight pause, he entered the inside line in two steps, stepped on the center of the basket to take off, grabbed the ball with one hand, and rotated his body in the air, 360 degrees. This dunk is both difficult and beautiful. It was a well-remembered dunk, but what shocked them was that Li Zheng's body was still spinning, his arms were raised high like a swan proudly straightening his neck, and the basketball was pushed into the basket by Li Zheng after spinning for two weeks in the air.

New Orleans lost its voice at the moment Li Zheng dunked in, and then those star players who were sitting upright abandoned their face and reserve, rushed into the arena with DV, and the arena became a sea of ​​noise and celebration.
