no shortcuts in basketball
Chapter 113 Slam Dunk Contest (1 big chapter, please vote for me)
Chapter 113 Slam Dunk Contest (1 big chapter, please vote for me)
On the first day of February, the league announced the roster for the Dallas All-Star Game.
Among them, the list of the slam dunk contest attracts the most attention.
Because three of the four contestants have been exposed, namely Xu Yong, DeRozan and James, and only one has not yet been confirmed.
In the fans' expectations, the last person must be Nate Robinson of the Knicks.
Robinson has won the slam dunk title twice. If he can win again this year, he will create a historic triple crown. There is no reason for him not to participate.
Including Robinson himself also expressed his willingness to continue participating in the dunk contest.
However, when the list was announced, fans discovered that the fourth player was not Robinson, but Shannon Brown.
Although Brown's performance in the Lakers this season is also very eye-catching, especially contributed to the cap-grabbing .gif that made Kobe even startled.
However, no matter how popular he is, it cannot be higher than Robinson!
Robinson is only 1 meters, and fans will have a strong sense of substitution when watching his dunks.
Ever since, fans naturally began to speculate on the reason for Robinson's absence. Some said that Robinson was injured, some said that Robinson just wanted to focus on the game, and some even said that Robinson refused to participate because he was afraid of James.
Under the cusp of the storm, Robinson finally stated the reason in front of the media: It's not that I don't want to, it's that the league didn't invite me at all this year!
This caused an uproar.
Because even if Brown is really invited, Robinson can be used to replace DeRozan!
The fans couldn't figure it out, until an account named "KBfnas" put forward such a hypothesis: the alliance is coronating their king.
Although the account was quickly blocked, fans with quick screenshots immediately aroused heated discussion.
Because new competition rules were announced along with the list, the method of mobile voting for the second-round finals seemed to be fresh and fairer, but it actually increased the possibility of background operations.
But the controversy soon disappeared.
It's not that fans don't discuss it anymore, but that almost all the accounts that participated in the discussion have been blocked.
The freedom of speech in the United States has always been smart. You can speak freely when it is needed. When it is not needed, you can't even type on the keyboard.
It's just that accounts can be banned, but people's hearts will not be changed. Undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm lake also made this year's slam dunk contest weird.
At this time, the league announced the best rookie in January, and Xu Yong won the title for the third consecutive month, while in the west, Evans failed to continue to win the title.
Stephen Curry of the Warriors averaged 19.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2 steals per game for the first time in his career.
As Curry gradually performed, the original two-person battle for the best rookie began to enter the era of a three-star battle for hegemony.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in mid-February, the 2 NBA All-Star Game officially kicked off in Dallas.
This year's All-Star Game will be used as the main venue for the NFL Arena for the first time. The Cowboys Stadium, which can accommodate 10 people, pushes the All-Star Game to another dimension.
It was popular to say that the All-Star Game is a grand event in the NBA, and this year definitely deserves such a description.
The entire process of this year's All-Star Game will last five days. Xu Yong followed Rose and Noah, and the three of them arrived in Dallas the day before the All-Star Weekend.
The NBA season is very long, and they usually either train or compete. During this time, they can relax a bit.
Xu Yong wanted to continue to practice more, but he signed a big sneaker contract, so he was destined to be unable to relax at this time.
So Rose and Noah went to Dallas to play around, and he could only go to Cowboys Stadium for brand promotion.
Here I have to explain why there are five days of the All-Star Weekend instead of the three days that most people know.
Because the official part of the All-Star Weekend is actually three nights, namely the Celebrity Game, the Individual Game and the Main Game. This is also the part that all fans of the All-Star Live broadcast can see.
But except for these three nights, is the All-Star Weekend blank at other times?
of course not.
In fact, while other fans around the world can only be "couch potatoes", Dallas fans and visitors can enjoy a complete All-Star weekend to themselves.
In addition to those three nights, what runs through the five days is also the core part of the All-Star Weekend, called the Fan Carnival.
In the Cowboys Stadium, the main venue of the All-Star Weekend, a grand event scene was arranged to provide fans with a full range of entertainment.
You can basically understand it as a temporary basketball theme park.
The NBA Fan Carnival is called "Jam. Session", which is the sign hanging at the entrance of the arena. This word originally refers to the impromptu performance at the concert, but because "Jam" means dunk, the NBA used it to give itself the title. Famous.
Xu Yong is near the door, promoting the brand together with Wade, another "newcomer" of the AJ brand.
There are not many spokespersons under AJ, such as Anthony, Paul, Ray Allen, etc., these are all star players.
However, Wade previously endorsed Converse and only switched to AJ last summer, so he is a newcomer like Xu Yong and needs to show himself in front of the fans.
A rookie who has been full of enthusiasm recently, and a "Flash" who dominates the league, the combination of the two naturally attracted countless fans to watch.
Of course, it is inevitable that the two of them will communicate during the event.
During the exchange, Xu Yong found that Wade was very different from what he imagined.
The Wade in his impression is James' close comrade-in-arms, a "nine-point man", and a person who takes shortcuts.
But after getting in touch with him, he found that Wade is very easy to get along with, and in some basketball exchanges, he can feel that Wade, like him, also pays great attention to the team, but dares to take responsibility.
He couldn't help but think of his previous experience of jumping off the technical stage and yelling "This.is.Chicago". Similarly, Wade also had the past of jumping off the technical stage and shouting "This.is.my.house".
Birds of a feather flock together, and Wade is from Chicago, so the two of them couldn't stop talking about the Bulls.
During the chat, Xu Yong even heard a hint that Wade wanted to play for the Bulls.
Since winning the championship with O'Neal in 06, Wade has entered the peak, scoring like cutting melons and vegetables.
这真一点不夸张，如今的韦德就是联盟前五的巨星，上赛季场均30.2分5板7.5助攻2.2抢断1.3盖帽，接近50%的命中率，实力上绝对的03一代No.1。
It's just that the performance of the Heat's management in recent years is really eye-catching. Not to mention that he accompanied the team at the peak, he took the second pick and didn't trade for reinforcements, and he chose a guy who didn't deserve his name like Beasley. The Cavaliers next door smashed the lineup hard for James, and anyone would be dissatisfied.
What's more, due to NBA contract rules, first-round picks generally have the "seven-year itch." Fulfilling the first big contract in seven years is considered a kindness to the old club, and it is natural to think of changing teams.
When it comes to changing teams, the Bulls are the hometown team and are now full of vitality, so they are naturally the first choice.
Xu Yong didn't seem excited when he heard this, not because he resisted playing with Wade, but because if Wade really joined the Bulls, he would probably become a bargaining chip.
After the event, Wade was busy with other things, and Xu Yong chose to stay to experience the carnival.
Although he is a reborn person and has watched the All-Star Game no less than [-] or [-] times, like most fans in the country, this kind of carnival event is the first time for him to see a big girl sitting in a sedan chair.
As he walked forward, fans came over to take photos with him from time to time.
Although he is still a rookie, it can be seen that he has already gained a lot of popularity.
"Xu, come on, I support you to win the championship!" And some people even reached out to encourage him after taking photos with him.
That aggrieved expression, as if someone has irritated him.
Xu Yong didn't think about it too much. He was completely relaxed now and was simply experiencing the carnival.
It was at this time that Xu Yong discovered that the carnival was so interesting.
For example, the place he walked at this moment is a very special display area, which shows the body parts of some very characteristic players in the NBA.
For example, O'Neal's feet, Jordan's palms, Rondo's shoulder width, and Ibaka, oh, no Ibaka.
With the soles of their feet on the ground and their palms on the wall, fans can freely go up and compare.
In addition, a considerable number of star drawing boards have been erected, from the "little bug" Burgess who is only 1 meters tall, to the "little giant" Yao Ming who is 60 meters tall.
Not every fan can really have the opportunity to get close to NBA stars, but through these displays, fans have a more real understanding of NBA players.
Going forward, it turned out to be a physical test area.
From touching the height to running back and forth, all the tests that Xu Yong did during the joint trial training in Chicago can be done here, and after completion, there will be a personal [physical test report].
These can be regarded as opening Xu Yong's eyes. If CBA can just copy these, the CBA All-Star Game will not be held like that.
Going forward, it is the dunk zone that makes Xu Yong's hands itchy.
If there is one thing that ordinary fans want to do most, it is dunking.
Then at the carnival site, it provides you with a variety of modes that you can imagine.
For example, the height of the basket alone is divided into ten and eight, and the standard models with short frames are just the tip of the iceberg.
From 3 feet to 10 feet, even if you are a child, there are baskets that can be buckled.
And that's not enough, it also has a basket with a trampoline, Xu Yong couldn't help but try it out.
After all, no matter how much he can jump, there is a limit, but with the bonus of the trampoline, it is not a problem for you to do two and a half weeks of mid-air rotation like a diver and double crotch.
But this is not the most outrageous, when Xu Yong got off the trampoline, he saw someone next door shouting excitedly in the air.
It turns out that there are people at the event who are afraid of dancing or who can’t dance. This is definitely true, especially female fans.
So at the very side, there is a basket specially used for "flying".
That's right, it's flying. A rope is put around your waist, and the other end of the rope is hung on the ceiling. Under the pull of the machine, you can soar into the air and experience the feeling of flying like a superman. What is a free throw line dunk? Basic exercise, a popular prop for basketball fire.
The one in the air right now was a female fan, and Xu Yong looked familiar.
When the man finished the dunk, Xu Yong, who had experienced prosopagnosia for a while, remembered something.
That's Megan Fox?
People of his generation often watched Hollywood movies, because at that time, domestic industrial movies had not yet taken off, and Hollywood was the big name for blockbusters.
And the quality of Hollywood movies at that time was indeed high. "Iron Man" and "Transformers" will definitely blow up the box office in the future.
As the first generation heroine of Transformers, the scene of Fox's buttocks on the hood. jpg, just two words, absolutely.
So after searching in his mind, he confirmed the identity of the other party.
Fox caught his gaze too.
Moreover, to Xu Yong's surprise, the other party reached out to greet him after seeing him, and walked towards him.
This made Xu Yong a little puzzled. After his rebirth, he and Fox had no intersection.
"I'm Megan Fox."
"I'm Xu Yong."
But when Fox approached, Xu Yong still shook hands politely.
"I watched you play when you were in Los Angeles, and you played the ball very well." Fox said with a charming smile.
Sure enough, in the world of women, there is no winner or loser in basketball, only good or bad.
Hearing what Fox said, Xu Yong recalled it. When the Lakers were playing, Fox seemed to be there.
"I've also seen your movie, Transformers, it's very cool." Xu Yong also said with a smile.
Fox smiled, then asked curiously: "Are you alone?"
"Just finished the activity, let's go for a stroll." Xu Yong nodded.
"Would you mind taking me for a stroll? I don't know how to play a lot of things." Fox tentatively asked after hearing this. If you meet a basketball player at the basketball carnival, you should not take good care of it.
Xu Yong nodded. It was all about shopping anyway, and Fox was a sweet-tongued person, so his refusal seemed very pretentious.
In the following period of time, he and Fox visited the next few major themes of the carnival.
Such as "angry basketball".
"Angry Birds" is a mobile game launched last year. The most classic thing is to take a slingshot and pop the bird out.
Then this activity is similar. There is a special large slingshot. Fans put basketballs in it, then stretch it and aim for long shots.
Fox couldn't move and called Xu Yong for help. Xu Yonghuan hugged Fox and exerted strength together. He shot the ball directly behind the basket.
Fox was laughing happily there, and Xu Yong was also very happy.
In addition to this, there is also a themed area dedicated to experiencing skills challenges, a bullfighting area that provides venues and referees, a video game exhibition area where you can get started directly, and a shopping area where you can buy various souvenirs, etc.
This carnival event can be said to really cover all the parts related to basketball that fans can experience.
In the shopping area, Xu Yong even saw his own jersey.
Seeing this, Fox bought one directly, and asked Xu Yong for an autograph.
By the time the two of them finished shopping, it was already almost half an hour later.
"Thank you, Xu. I'm really happy today. Can I leave your phone number? I'll treat you to dinner when I have time to thank you." Before leaving, Fox handed the phone to Xu Yong.
Xu Yong nodded.
After sending Fox off, his phone also rang. It was a call from his assistant, and there were already missed calls.
Like Yao Ming back then, his All-Star Weekend schedule was packed.
……
In the rookie game one day later, Xu Yong played steadily, led the first-year team to defeat the second-year team with Evans, and shared the MVP of the rookie game together.
Two days later, the All-Stars ushered in the individual competition day.
Every year, the All-Star Game is divided into a main venue and an auxiliary venue. The main venue is generally used for carnivals, individual events and main games, while rookie games and celebrity games are all held in the auxiliary venue.
But there is something special about this year, that is, the individual events are also held in the auxiliary venue.
The secondary venue for this year's All-Star Game is the American Airlines Center Arena, home of the Dallas Mavericks.
This is an arena built in 2001, which can accommodate more than 9000 people to watch live, which is big enough compared to other All-Star games.
But because this year's slam dunk contest was so hyped, it was still hard to get a ticket at the venue, and the scalpers at the door were making crazy money.
Some people who couldn't buy tickets also occupied a good position at the LED screen outside the arena early.
This was obviously just an All-Star individual event, but it created the atmosphere of the NBA Finals.
If you want to talk about why Stern wants James to participate, you need to know the topic, or things like traffic, which can be realized.
In the arena, the seats are already full at this time, and in the front row of the auditorium, one side is full of stars, while the other side is full of all-star players.
Some fans may wonder why these All-Stars are present every time they watch an individual game. After all, they are not competing here?
The reason for this is that during the day, as part of the carnival, the officials arranged for the training of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams.
This training is arranged in the arena, and it is completely open to the public, which is an opportunity for fans to observe the stars up close.
Because it is connected to the individual games in the evening, most of the All-Stars will naturally choose to stay.
There are four individual competitions, Shooting Star, Skills Challenge, Three Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.
In previous years, the latter two events attracted much attention, but this year because the dunk contest was so popular, fans only had one mood when watching it: If this is a video, please let me press the accelerator button.
Finally, after Pierce defeated Curry and Billups to win the three-point contest, the slam dunk contest that fans are most looking forward to this year is finally coming.
Before the game starts, the host introduces the four players in the order of appearance.
Xu Yong, DeRozan, Shannon Brown, James.
In this order of appearance, Xu Yong is first and James is last. What stands out is one thing.
This alone has caused some fans to whisper, because everyone knows that the players who play later in the order have an advantage.
Because you can decide whether to make adjustments based on the actions of the people in front of you.
As Xu Yong, who was the first to appear, was also under the greatest pressure.
The players have a few minutes to prepare after coming out, and it is at this time that the camera shows the audience on the sidelines.
There are league president David Stern and his assistant Adam Silver in the shot, as well as many Hollywood stars.
Xu Yong's mentality was relatively relaxed, but when he raised his head, his expression was stunned for a moment.
Because he saw a familiar figure and a more familiar dress.
Megan Fox actually showed up to see him come, and she was wearing the same jersey he signed two days ago.
After coming back to his senses, he felt inexplicably excited.
In fact, let alone Fox, just ordinary people playing ball on the field, and there is a beautiful woman standing on the sidelines, and you are just like the blue buff.
Not to mention the current situation, Fox made it clear that he was here just for him.
Soon, the game will begin.
When Xu Yong came on stage, cheers erupted from the scene.
It can be seen that Xu Yong's popularity is much higher than others expected.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, Xu Yong also waved his hands to signal the fans to cheer louder.
Faced with Xu Yong's actions, the fans naturally responded with even louder cheers.
Dallas fans don't know much about Xu Yong's character, but if you see a yellow player so confident, why don't you yell at him?
James frowned. He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
After finishing the movements, Xu Yong moved his arms, and then prepared to start his dunk performance.
The slam dunk contest is divided into preliminaries and finals. There are two rounds of slam dunks. The top two with the highest sum of points in the two preliminaries advance to the finals. This year, the final champion will be selected by the fans and spectators voting on mobile phones.
It is further refined to each round of dunks. There is a 2-minute time limit for a round of dunks, and a maximum of three dunks. When the time or number of dunks is exhausted, it will end regardless of whether it is successful or not.
Therefore, the preliminaries are generally an action of seeking stability.
The same is true for Xu Yong's first one. His first move is what he is best at and most sure of, an unremarkable 360 turn and dunk.gif.
What he is best at is naturally a success.
But just like Gu Tianle who shoots the eagles, it also depends on people when it is mediocre.
Xu Yong's 360 highlights a stretch and elegance, which is less violent than Carter's buckle, but has a little more visual beauty.
The judges gave the final score of 47 points.
In fact, the dunk was perfect, but because there was no innovation in the movement, the judges gave this score a bit low.
The second to appear is DeRozan.
He high-fived Xu Yong before entering the court, and then also delivered his first dunk, a crotch dunk that came out from behind the basket.
This action is not too difficult. DeRozan completed it after two attempts. The action was relatively stretched, and finally got a score of 42 points.
However, when the score came out, the fans at the scene were already a little restless, because it was obviously pressing the score!
This situation also made Brown, who was the third to appear on the court, feel the pressure. He tried a super difficult 360° turn from the free throw line when he came up.
His jumping height is enough, but obviously, his coordination and flexibility are not good enough, this action is too difficult for him.
But he did it simply, and for the second time he switched to a simple one-step dunk inside the free throw line.
It was a one-time success, but in the end only 37 points were scored.
By the time Brown finished dunking, the cheers of the fans on the scene had already begun to sound ahead of time.
James stood up amidst the cheers, and after blowing air with his left and right fists, he opened his hands and made a gesture of [King's Landing the World].jpg.
The atmosphere was pushed to a climax at this moment.
Xu Yong couldn't help being curious while watching.
What kind of slam dunk can this "king" who has never participated in a slam dunk contest in history.
After James got up, he took off his training clothes, revealing his No. 23 jersey, and then walked directly towards the midfield.
The famous Dallas cheerleaders "Fat Boys" who were wearing white clothes were sitting in the center of the field, but when they saw James coming, they all moved out of the way.
Looking at this posture, James' jump is not far away with this buckle.
After James walked up and took the ball, he didn't immediately start dunking. Instead, he waited until the audience cheered and cheered. Then he dribbled the ball twice, took a deep breath, and ran towards the basket with the ball in his arms. .
His choice was very smart. There is no requirement to dribble in the slam dunk contest, so walking with the ball happened to be his rhythm.
When he sprinted near the free throw line, he threw the ball directly to the backboard.
Obviously, this is a self-throwing and self-dunk dunk.
The ball hit the board in a good position, and it can be seen that James has made careful preparations for tonight's game.
After the basketball rebounded, James caught the ball with his left hand, and then there was an obvious lag in the air before switching to his right hand. After gliding, James made a trademark James dunk with his right hand and slammed the ball into the basket.gif!
There was an instant burst of cheers.
Needless to say, although this ball is not too technically difficult, it is still very suitable for James's dunk characteristics.
The judges quickly gave the score.
But it was this score that made the scene agitated.
48 points.
It was actually one point more than Xu Yong's dunk.
Xu Yong frowned slightly.
Tonight the judges obviously came with a mission.
In this case, it seems that he will exert his strength in advance.
Because of the special format of this year's competition, fans are subjective, so you can't really wait until the finals before making an effort.
He turned around and called Noah over in the audience.
When he said he was determined to win before, he was not just shouting slogans. He had prepared a lot of moves for this dunk contest.
After the cheerleaders danced a sexy dance that was enough to attract Ding Yanyuhang's attention, the second round of dunking in the preliminaries began immediately.
The order of appearance in the second round is different from that of the first round, it is played from low to high according to the score.
So the first one out is Shannon Brown.
When Brown came out, there was a burst of cheers.
Not because of Brown, but because of Kobe.
Xu Yong was not the only one looking for help.
Kobe made a good pass, but Brown didn't do anything when he caught the ball, just a straight up and down dunk.
This also amused the audience.
It can be seen that Brown has fully interpreted that sentence: nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up.
After Xu Yong and James both scored high points in the first round, he felt that he was out of luck.
This performance also fully explains why he was defeated by James in high school.
After watching Brown's performance, the fans already felt that DeRozan, who played second, could skip it.
But at this moment, DeRozan withstood the pressure, and with the assist of teammate Sony Wilms hitting the side of the basket, he performed a difficult catch and gliding windmill dunk.gif, which attracted applause from the whole house and the judges. They also gave away the first 50 points of the night.
Xu Yong was stunned for a moment by this rating.
It seems that he misunderstood the judges earlier, guessing that the score of the first deduction is the effect of James' league status.
But this also made him more confident in the next dunk.
The scene was also restless, because with the 50 points, DeRozan's total score in the two rounds reached 93 points.
This made the game suspenseful for a moment.
Simple mathematical calculation, Xu Yong's second dunk is less than 46 points, James' second dunk is less than 45 points, that means he will not be able to enter the final.
Originally, the gimmick of this year's slam dunk contest was Xu Yong VS James. If one of these two people really can't make it to the finals, it would be really embarrassing to miss someone.
The scene shot was quickly shown to Xu Yong, and he was the next one to appear on the stage.
Xu Yong's expression looked very calm, and he even got up and gave DeRozan a hug and congratulations.
Just then, Noah took the ball and walked towards the basket.
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and the second dunk of several players tonight all had assistants.
Noah walked to the basket with the ball and stood at the top of the reasonable collision zone, about 1.5 meters away from the basket.
After he stood up, he leaned his head forward and put the ball on the back of his neck.
This move made the discussion at the scene even louder.
Obviously, this is a dunk action with the ball.
Moreover, Noah is 2 meters tall, so the difficulty factor comes up directly.
Xu Yong adjusted his breathing.
The action he wanted to do came from "White Jordan" Jordan Kilgannon, perhaps the most entertaining dunker in human history.
Yes, in terms of pure viewing, it is more explosive than Carter and LaVine.
And unlike Bai Jordan, because of his height and Noah's height, it will be more difficult for him to dunk the same dunk.
In order to practice this, he worked hard, and even knocked his head on the backboard several times.
After adjusting his breath, he set off, rushed directly to the position of one step inside the free throw line, and then flew into the air sideways.
And while soaring into the air, his whole body showed a "sitting" movement.
The fans at the scene were stunned. What kind of fairy move is this?
Even Fox in the audience subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand.
After rising to the highest point, Xu Yong pressed the basketball with his right hand and completed the "sit down and change hands" above the back of Noah's neck. After the ball was changed to his left hand, he followed the gliding posture and hit the ball heavily with his left hand Smashed into the basket.gif!
A success!
It can only succeed once, because if it fails, it will hit the backboard directly!
After the ball was smashed in, the scene was silent because everyone was stunned.
When the fans came back to their senses, the scene had been overwhelmed by overwhelming cheers.
Even Kobe and the others in the front row excitedly stood up and pumped their fists and shouted, and O'Neal even held the camera and made a shocked expression.
Fox: Xu Yong is simply superman!
Soon, the on-site judges gave their scores.
50 points, no suspense.
This 50 points is not because the dunk is worth 50 points, but because the full score is only 50 points!
Even some fans couldn't help but shake their heads. Xu Yong's dunks should be reserved for the finals.
Xu Yong waved his fist excitedly at this time.
To be honest, this action is very difficult. In history, Aaron Gordon also imitated a similar action in the dunk contest, but Gordon did not dare to use the front, but the side, because the risk factor of the front is high.
He was also prepared for a second dunk.
But I don’t know if it was because of the atmosphere at the scene or Megan Fox wearing his jersey. His whole body was very excited, and he succeeded once and performed super-level.
Xu Yong took the lead to advance to the final, and all the pressure came to James.
In the first round, he scored the highest score by relying on his league status and dunks that suited his style, but in the second round he didn't show some strength, it might be a joke.
James' face looked very ugly at this time.
He didn't plan to use force in the preliminaries, but who would have thought that the two brothers from Arizona State would directly surround him.
This was something he never expected.
But being forced into this situation, he could only use his ultimate move.
When James came on the court, two assistants came to the sidelines at the same time, both of them were his Cavaliers teammates, one was Daniel Gibson and the other was Varejao.
And among the two, Varejao stood under the basket, and Gibson stood on the bottom line on the side of the free throw line. This scene confused everyone.
Could it be that James was going to perform an alley-oop dunk?
Xu Yong was also interested. To be honest, he was really curious about this battle.
Especially, when James walks toward the baseline with the ball.
What on earth is this about?
James took the ball and exhaled, then started sprinting, rising into the air two meters away from the basket.
At this time, Gibson jumped up to try to block James' dunk, and Varejao also stretched out his hands.
After dodging Gibson's interference with a lever in the air, James pulled the ball up again, and smashed the ball directly into the basket through Varejao. gif!
The whole place was silent.
Even Xu Yong was shocked for the first time since his rebirth.
Damn it, can you still play like this? !
Soon, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Don't tell me, although this operation is very outrageous, it belongs to the kind of outrageous fucking to open the door for outrageous, outrageous home, but it still has a feeling.
Because James' dunking skills are strong in actual combat, it would be difficult for him to twist and turn his skills, but his physical fitness is so explosive, and the visual impact in actual combat is very strong.
Originally, it was difficult to integrate the two, but now it's better, James said, I just hired extras.
Moreover, only James can play like this.
First of all, most people would never think of this kind of operation. Secondly, how many teammates are willing to cooperate with you?
It is also possible to achieve the [Knight Kingdom] that Ayers described before.
Xu Yong: You are so talented!
But this made the judges on the sidelines embarrassed, because this operation was really a rolling pin stabbing the ass, which opened their eyes.
And now that the camera is on them, they can't really start the discussion.
So after a while of eye contact, they each gave their scores.
9分、9分、9分、9分、10分。
46 points.
James qualified for the finals with a thrilling second place finish.
The commotion at the scene was louder than before.
DeRozan was also taken aback when he saw this, then shook his head with a wry smile.
This is exactly one point more, and after all, the judges finally exerted their strength.
Xu Yong got up and walked to DeRozan at this time, then reached out and patted the latter's shoulder.
When DeRozan looked up, he pointed at the opponent and then at himself, which meant: I will get back the opportunity you lost in the finals.
Finals, Xu Yong and James.
Although the process was a bit tortuous and even a bit bizarre, in the end, as the outside world expected before the game, they came to the peak duel between the two.
Xu Yong's disrespect for James, and James' strong response, who will be the final winner will be decided soon.
Another sexy cheerleading dance performance, this time one that Ding Yan Yuhang could look down at.jpg.
Taking advantage of this time, Barkley and the others at the commentary booth also started talking.
However, they all intelligently avoided talking about dunks in the preliminaries, and instead analyzed who will win the championship in the finals.
Buckley's point of view is naturally the most interesting.
With three other commentators looking on, Barkley gave his prediction.
"LeBron James."
If you want to ask Barkley what is good, except for his big mouth, he has to be smart.
Then on the show, when asked why Jordan is handsome, the person who said "He is not handsome, you are handsome even if you have two to three billion", the kind of person who flatters you so much that you can't feel it, how could you not hear it? How about the taste tonight?
As "KBfnas" said on social media before, this is clearly a king's coronation ceremony.
The other two also chose James one after another, but "Magic" Johnson, who was silenced by Xu Yong in the ncaa championship last year, chose Xu Yong out of the ordinary at this time.
As a proud celebrity, he really didn't want to speak against his will.
The discussion in the commentary booth was about the same, and the finals were about to begin.
Before the start, the DJ at the scene reminded the audience and all the fans in the United States that they can vote through mobile phones to determine the champion.
At this time, the domestic fans were naturally furious, but despite being furious, they actually understood that if they could vote, even if Xu Yongdu stood still, they could still deliver the championship trophy to him. .
The order of appearance in the finals is still based on the score in the preliminaries, with James playing first and Xu Yong playing second.
Xu Yong's strategy in the preliminaries still won him a certain amount of initiative.
Then, when the finals started, all eyes were on James again.
James played two rounds of tricks in the preliminaries. If this happens again in the finals, the fans will really not be able to stand it anymore.
The smart James obviously knew this, so he didn't play the first dunk of the final.
His first dunk was a front windmill dunk.gif.
This action showed off all of James' physical fitness and little flexibility.
If there is a rating, this is at least a high score of 45+.
Next it was Xu Yong's turn.
What many people didn't expect was that when James came on the stage, the reaction was not too big, but when Xu Yong came on the stage, there was a burst of cheers.
Obviously, Xu Yong's two dunks in the preliminaries have already raised the expectations of the fans.
His first dunk in the final was still with Noah as his assistant.
It's just that Noah didn't raise the ball above his head with both hands this time, but stood on the side of the free throw line, dragging the ball with his hands.
After Xu Yong adjusted Noah's ball-holding position under the basket, he walked beyond the three-point line and was ready to start.
The fans gradually became quiet at this time. They were really looking forward to Xu Yong's performance in the finals.
Xu Yong started to sprint, and when he rushed to the free throw line and was a big step away from Noah, he flew straight into the air.
While soaring into the air, others have already started to spin, which is his good turn and dunk.
Then he waited until he was in mid-air and turned half a body, he snatched the ball from Noah's hand with his right hand, and then the whole person spun in the air like a giant loop, and finally, with an extremely graceful and powerful Way, the right hand slammed the ball into the basket. gif!
The moment the ball was smashed in, the fans cheered violently.
Kobe and the others in the front row were already rushing to the sideline, pulling each other to prevent each other from getting up.
The judges may have a subjective scoring tendency, but the fans' reaction at this moment already illustrates their evaluation of the first dunk of the final between the two sides.
It cannot be said that each has its own merits, but it is still a matter of judgment.
This time, James' face was really ugly.
You said that he underestimated the enemy in the opening game, and that was his own admission.
But he definitely didn't have it this time in the dunk contest.
First of all, he racked his brains for this slam dunk contest, otherwise he would not have such a magical operation of pulling a crowd.
Secondly, Xu Yong's performance in the season is actually very similar to his style, all of which are actual combat buckle-type.
At most, Xu Yong showed off his crotch and changed hands when he hit them.
But who would have thought that Xu Yong could perform so many entertaining tricks.
But don't underestimate this.
We must know that the attention of the slam dunk contest has decreased in recent years, not only because there are no big names to participate, but also because it has no new ideas, and all dunks that can be dunked have been dunked. Not to mention the fans, even the players are not willing to participate. up.
But Xu Yong, while fully demonstrating his dunking ability to them tonight, he also showed moves that they had never seen before, how could he not be liked by others.
However, James' face was ugly, but he didn't seem flustered.
Because he still has the dunk action of pressing the bottom of the box that has not been sacrificed.
This year's slam dunk contest is voted by fans, so there are no extra rounds, so he can use it boldly and safely.
And before the final dunk, James waved his hands to signal for fans to cheer, just like Xu Yong did in the preliminaries.
Cheers echoed at the scene.
James' popularity is here after all.
And his current appearance of not being afraid of challenges also adds a lot of points to him.
After the fans' cheers reached their peak, James put down his hand, took the basketball and walked towards the backcourt.
This time he didn't go to the midfield, but went directly to the baseline on the other side.
Seeing this, Xu Yong can basically guess what action James is going to do.
There is a saying in the slam dunk contest: don't decide the free throw line when things happen.
In the 1988 slam dunk contest, Jordan's opponent was Wilkins, the "essence of human movies" who is now sitting on the judging panel.
Before the last dunk, he was ahead of Jordan, and it was a perfect score.
As a result, on the last dunk, Jordan successfully defeated Wilkins with a free throw line dunk, and let that dunk be dubbed the title of "flying man" and go down in history forever.
James started to attack. He was still holding the ball. When he rushed to the free throw line, he really jumped into the air. Then he flew up like a monkey in the sky. After gliding in the air for an extremely long distance, he held it tightly. The ball hit the basket.gif!
The scene instantly erupted in cheers from the fans.
There are many people who have attempted or completed free throw line dunks. In terms of aesthetics, Jordan ranks first, but in terms of power, James' dunk just now was even better than Carter's!
Xu Yong's expression suddenly became serious at this time.
James' previous three dunks, if someone else dunks, there is a high probability that he will not be able to enter the finals.
But in the dunk just now, James really showed his strength.
It can even be said that at least after completing this dunk, James has raised the fans' impression of him to the same level as Xu Yong.
The final champion depends on what Xu Yong dunked in the last time and how he dunked.
The scene was shot to Xu Yong, and Xu Yong stood up.
He stretched his arms and did nothing to make the audience cheer.
After he took the ball, he also walked to the backcourt.
Now, even if he didn't make any moves, the cheers at the scene could no longer be stopped.
Because Xu Yong made it clear that he was going to the free throw line to the free throw line!
Not to mention the fans, all the All-Stars on the sidelines couldn't contain their excitement.
If Xu Yongzhen succeeds in dunking, no matter what the result is, this dunk contest will become another classic after 2000.
Although Xu Yong was serious, he could not tell that he was nervous.
After adjusting his breathing, Xu Yong started sprinting.
Unlike James, he dribbles a lot and sprints forward.
Dribbling and holding the ball, Xu Yong has already completed his suppression of James in his starting movements.
But this is only a small part, what is more important is Xu Yong's dunk action.
Xu Yong dribbled the ball across the half court and into the three-point line. When it came to the free throw line, he stepped in with half of his foot in the air.
In terms of take-off distance, he is slightly inferior to James.
At this point, the two sides at the free throw line are basically tied.
but!
By the time Xu Yong jumped up and started to perform movements, the comparison of these details had lost its meaning.
Because Xu Yong, his left hand is pulling the ball down!
Big windmill at the free throw line!
The NBA Slam Dunk Contest has never been attempted before.
James' eyes widened in disbelief.
The cheers on the scene have already sounded ahead of time.
Xu Yong swung the ball round in the air, then pulled it up, before falling...
"Oh!"
The right hand smashed the ball into the basket. gif!
"It's over! It's over!" Johnson shouted excitedly in the commentary booth.
The next second, the entire stadium was filled with cheers from the audience.
After Xu Yong landed, he pumped his fists and roared excitedly.
To be honest, it was a bit reluctant to complete the action just now with his current ability.
However, as shown in the opening scene, his entire body was in a super-level state of excitement.
Tonight, he is Chicago LaVine!
"Satan! Satan!"
The result of the game has not been announced yet, but the fans at the scene have already started chanting Xu Yong's nickname.
In their view, the slam dunk just now is not something humans can do at all, and Xu Yong's nickname is so appropriate at this moment.
The game is over, and the shouts of the fans continue.
After a long time, the DJ reminded the fans that they can vote by SMS.
The process is quick.
After the time was over, the host, Xu Yong and James all stood in the center of the venue.
Before announcing the results, the host conducted a short interview with the two people.
Basically, there's just one problem.
"Are you looking forward to this championship?"
Xu Yong's answer was simple: "Yes, that's why I came here."
James' answer is much more complicated and intriguing:
"I suffered some groin injuries before, you know, that will affect some of my preparations, of course I was good tonight, I mean, whether I win or not, to be able to participate in such a competition, for I have no regrets for the fans giving such a wonderful match.”
Xu Yong was speechless for a moment: I would really like to thank you.
After listening to the speeches of the two, the host signaled the staff to hand over the envelope containing the results.
"The winner of the 2010 NBA Slam Dunk Contest is..."
The host glanced at the envelope with a smile, and then announced the result,
"Xu Yong!"
The content about the carnival is because no one has written it before and thought it was fresh, so I went to check the information and design, and then I can spoil it. This book did not deliberately design emotional dramas, because the protagonist’s regrets for so many years are waiting for him to make up for it. I don’t have time to talk about relationships. I only cover a wide range of topics, from actresses, female singers, female models to the momentary pleasures of various professions. In the end, it’s a blast. Brothers, come and support me~~
(End of this chapter)
On the first day of February, the league announced the roster for the Dallas All-Star Game.
Among them, the list of the slam dunk contest attracts the most attention.
Because three of the four contestants have been exposed, namely Xu Yong, DeRozan and James, and only one has not yet been confirmed.
In the fans' expectations, the last person must be Nate Robinson of the Knicks.
Robinson has won the slam dunk title twice. If he can win again this year, he will create a historic triple crown. There is no reason for him not to participate.
Including Robinson himself also expressed his willingness to continue participating in the dunk contest.
However, when the list was announced, fans discovered that the fourth player was not Robinson, but Shannon Brown.
Although Brown's performance in the Lakers this season is also very eye-catching, especially contributed to the cap-grabbing .gif that made Kobe even startled.
However, no matter how popular he is, it cannot be higher than Robinson!
Robinson is only 1 meters, and fans will have a strong sense of substitution when watching his dunks.
Ever since, fans naturally began to speculate on the reason for Robinson's absence. Some said that Robinson was injured, some said that Robinson just wanted to focus on the game, and some even said that Robinson refused to participate because he was afraid of James.
Under the cusp of the storm, Robinson finally stated the reason in front of the media: It's not that I don't want to, it's that the league didn't invite me at all this year!
This caused an uproar.
Because even if Brown is really invited, Robinson can be used to replace DeRozan!
The fans couldn't figure it out, until an account named "KBfnas" put forward such a hypothesis: the alliance is coronating their king.
Although the account was quickly blocked, fans with quick screenshots immediately aroused heated discussion.
Because new competition rules were announced along with the list, the method of mobile voting for the second-round finals seemed to be fresh and fairer, but it actually increased the possibility of background operations.
But the controversy soon disappeared.
It's not that fans don't discuss it anymore, but that almost all the accounts that participated in the discussion have been blocked.
The freedom of speech in the United States has always been smart. You can speak freely when it is needed. When it is not needed, you can't even type on the keyboard.
It's just that accounts can be banned, but people's hearts will not be changed. Undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm lake also made this year's slam dunk contest weird.
At this time, the league announced the best rookie in January, and Xu Yong won the title for the third consecutive month, while in the west, Evans failed to continue to win the title.
Stephen Curry of the Warriors averaged 19.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2 steals per game for the first time in his career.
As Curry gradually performed, the original two-person battle for the best rookie began to enter the era of a three-star battle for hegemony.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in mid-February, the 2 NBA All-Star Game officially kicked off in Dallas.
This year's All-Star Game will be used as the main venue for the NFL Arena for the first time. The Cowboys Stadium, which can accommodate 10 people, pushes the All-Star Game to another dimension.
It was popular to say that the All-Star Game is a grand event in the NBA, and this year definitely deserves such a description.
The entire process of this year's All-Star Game will last five days. Xu Yong followed Rose and Noah, and the three of them arrived in Dallas the day before the All-Star Weekend.
The NBA season is very long, and they usually either train or compete. During this time, they can relax a bit.
Xu Yong wanted to continue to practice more, but he signed a big sneaker contract, so he was destined to be unable to relax at this time.
So Rose and Noah went to Dallas to play around, and he could only go to Cowboys Stadium for brand promotion.
Here I have to explain why there are five days of the All-Star Weekend instead of the three days that most people know.
Because the official part of the All-Star Weekend is actually three nights, namely the Celebrity Game, the Individual Game and the Main Game. This is also the part that all fans of the All-Star Live broadcast can see.
But except for these three nights, is the All-Star Weekend blank at other times?
of course not.
In fact, while other fans around the world can only be "couch potatoes", Dallas fans and visitors can enjoy a complete All-Star weekend to themselves.
In addition to those three nights, what runs through the five days is also the core part of the All-Star Weekend, called the Fan Carnival.
In the Cowboys Stadium, the main venue of the All-Star Weekend, a grand event scene was arranged to provide fans with a full range of entertainment.
You can basically understand it as a temporary basketball theme park.
The NBA Fan Carnival is called "Jam. Session", which is the sign hanging at the entrance of the arena. This word originally refers to the impromptu performance at the concert, but because "Jam" means dunk, the NBA used it to give itself the title. Famous.
Xu Yong is near the door, promoting the brand together with Wade, another "newcomer" of the AJ brand.
There are not many spokespersons under AJ, such as Anthony, Paul, Ray Allen, etc., these are all star players.
However, Wade previously endorsed Converse and only switched to AJ last summer, so he is a newcomer like Xu Yong and needs to show himself in front of the fans.
A rookie who has been full of enthusiasm recently, and a "Flash" who dominates the league, the combination of the two naturally attracted countless fans to watch.
Of course, it is inevitable that the two of them will communicate during the event.
During the exchange, Xu Yong found that Wade was very different from what he imagined.
The Wade in his impression is James' close comrade-in-arms, a "nine-point man", and a person who takes shortcuts.
But after getting in touch with him, he found that Wade is very easy to get along with, and in some basketball exchanges, he can feel that Wade, like him, also pays great attention to the team, but dares to take responsibility.
He couldn't help but think of his previous experience of jumping off the technical stage and yelling "This.is.Chicago". Similarly, Wade also had the past of jumping off the technical stage and shouting "This.is.my.house".
Birds of a feather flock together, and Wade is from Chicago, so the two of them couldn't stop talking about the Bulls.
During the chat, Xu Yong even heard a hint that Wade wanted to play for the Bulls.
Since winning the championship with O'Neal in 06, Wade has entered the peak, scoring like cutting melons and vegetables.
这真一点不夸张，如今的韦德就是联盟前五的巨星，上赛季场均30.2分5板7.5助攻2.2抢断1.3盖帽，接近50%的命中率，实力上绝对的03一代No.1。
It's just that the performance of the Heat's management in recent years is really eye-catching. Not to mention that he accompanied the team at the peak, he took the second pick and didn't trade for reinforcements, and he chose a guy who didn't deserve his name like Beasley. The Cavaliers next door smashed the lineup hard for James, and anyone would be dissatisfied.
What's more, due to NBA contract rules, first-round picks generally have the "seven-year itch." Fulfilling the first big contract in seven years is considered a kindness to the old club, and it is natural to think of changing teams.
When it comes to changing teams, the Bulls are the hometown team and are now full of vitality, so they are naturally the first choice.
Xu Yong didn't seem excited when he heard this, not because he resisted playing with Wade, but because if Wade really joined the Bulls, he would probably become a bargaining chip.
After the event, Wade was busy with other things, and Xu Yong chose to stay to experience the carnival.
Although he is a reborn person and has watched the All-Star Game no less than [-] or [-] times, like most fans in the country, this kind of carnival event is the first time for him to see a big girl sitting in a sedan chair.
As he walked forward, fans came over to take photos with him from time to time.
Although he is still a rookie, it can be seen that he has already gained a lot of popularity.
"Xu, come on, I support you to win the championship!" And some people even reached out to encourage him after taking photos with him.
That aggrieved expression, as if someone has irritated him.
Xu Yong didn't think about it too much. He was completely relaxed now and was simply experiencing the carnival.
It was at this time that Xu Yong discovered that the carnival was so interesting.
For example, the place he walked at this moment is a very special display area, which shows the body parts of some very characteristic players in the NBA.
For example, O'Neal's feet, Jordan's palms, Rondo's shoulder width, and Ibaka, oh, no Ibaka.
With the soles of their feet on the ground and their palms on the wall, fans can freely go up and compare.
In addition, a considerable number of star drawing boards have been erected, from the "little bug" Burgess who is only 1 meters tall, to the "little giant" Yao Ming who is 60 meters tall.
Not every fan can really have the opportunity to get close to NBA stars, but through these displays, fans have a more real understanding of NBA players.
Going forward, it turned out to be a physical test area.
From touching the height to running back and forth, all the tests that Xu Yong did during the joint trial training in Chicago can be done here, and after completion, there will be a personal [physical test report].
These can be regarded as opening Xu Yong's eyes. If CBA can just copy these, the CBA All-Star Game will not be held like that.
Going forward, it is the dunk zone that makes Xu Yong's hands itchy.
If there is one thing that ordinary fans want to do most, it is dunking.
Then at the carnival site, it provides you with a variety of modes that you can imagine.
For example, the height of the basket alone is divided into ten and eight, and the standard models with short frames are just the tip of the iceberg.
From 3 feet to 10 feet, even if you are a child, there are baskets that can be buckled.
And that's not enough, it also has a basket with a trampoline, Xu Yong couldn't help but try it out.
After all, no matter how much he can jump, there is a limit, but with the bonus of the trampoline, it is not a problem for you to do two and a half weeks of mid-air rotation like a diver and double crotch.
But this is not the most outrageous, when Xu Yong got off the trampoline, he saw someone next door shouting excitedly in the air.
It turns out that there are people at the event who are afraid of dancing or who can’t dance. This is definitely true, especially female fans.
So at the very side, there is a basket specially used for "flying".
That's right, it's flying. A rope is put around your waist, and the other end of the rope is hung on the ceiling. Under the pull of the machine, you can soar into the air and experience the feeling of flying like a superman. What is a free throw line dunk? Basic exercise, a popular prop for basketball fire.
The one in the air right now was a female fan, and Xu Yong looked familiar.
When the man finished the dunk, Xu Yong, who had experienced prosopagnosia for a while, remembered something.
That's Megan Fox?
People of his generation often watched Hollywood movies, because at that time, domestic industrial movies had not yet taken off, and Hollywood was the big name for blockbusters.
And the quality of Hollywood movies at that time was indeed high. "Iron Man" and "Transformers" will definitely blow up the box office in the future.
As the first generation heroine of Transformers, the scene of Fox's buttocks on the hood. jpg, just two words, absolutely.
So after searching in his mind, he confirmed the identity of the other party.
Fox caught his gaze too.
Moreover, to Xu Yong's surprise, the other party reached out to greet him after seeing him, and walked towards him.
This made Xu Yong a little puzzled. After his rebirth, he and Fox had no intersection.
"I'm Megan Fox."
"I'm Xu Yong."
But when Fox approached, Xu Yong still shook hands politely.
"I watched you play when you were in Los Angeles, and you played the ball very well." Fox said with a charming smile.
Sure enough, in the world of women, there is no winner or loser in basketball, only good or bad.
Hearing what Fox said, Xu Yong recalled it. When the Lakers were playing, Fox seemed to be there.
"I've also seen your movie, Transformers, it's very cool." Xu Yong also said with a smile.
Fox smiled, then asked curiously: "Are you alone?"
"Just finished the activity, let's go for a stroll." Xu Yong nodded.
"Would you mind taking me for a stroll? I don't know how to play a lot of things." Fox tentatively asked after hearing this. If you meet a basketball player at the basketball carnival, you should not take good care of it.
Xu Yong nodded. It was all about shopping anyway, and Fox was a sweet-tongued person, so his refusal seemed very pretentious.
In the following period of time, he and Fox visited the next few major themes of the carnival.
Such as "angry basketball".
"Angry Birds" is a mobile game launched last year. The most classic thing is to take a slingshot and pop the bird out.
Then this activity is similar. There is a special large slingshot. Fans put basketballs in it, then stretch it and aim for long shots.
Fox couldn't move and called Xu Yong for help. Xu Yonghuan hugged Fox and exerted strength together. He shot the ball directly behind the basket.
Fox was laughing happily there, and Xu Yong was also very happy.
In addition to this, there is also a themed area dedicated to experiencing skills challenges, a bullfighting area that provides venues and referees, a video game exhibition area where you can get started directly, and a shopping area where you can buy various souvenirs, etc.
This carnival event can be said to really cover all the parts related to basketball that fans can experience.
In the shopping area, Xu Yong even saw his own jersey.
Seeing this, Fox bought one directly, and asked Xu Yong for an autograph.
By the time the two of them finished shopping, it was already almost half an hour later.
"Thank you, Xu. I'm really happy today. Can I leave your phone number? I'll treat you to dinner when I have time to thank you." Before leaving, Fox handed the phone to Xu Yong.
Xu Yong nodded.
After sending Fox off, his phone also rang. It was a call from his assistant, and there were already missed calls.
Like Yao Ming back then, his All-Star Weekend schedule was packed.
……
In the rookie game one day later, Xu Yong played steadily, led the first-year team to defeat the second-year team with Evans, and shared the MVP of the rookie game together.
Two days later, the All-Stars ushered in the individual competition day.
Every year, the All-Star Game is divided into a main venue and an auxiliary venue. The main venue is generally used for carnivals, individual events and main games, while rookie games and celebrity games are all held in the auxiliary venue.
But there is something special about this year, that is, the individual events are also held in the auxiliary venue.
The secondary venue for this year's All-Star Game is the American Airlines Center Arena, home of the Dallas Mavericks.
This is an arena built in 2001, which can accommodate more than 9000 people to watch live, which is big enough compared to other All-Star games.
But because this year's slam dunk contest was so hyped, it was still hard to get a ticket at the venue, and the scalpers at the door were making crazy money.
Some people who couldn't buy tickets also occupied a good position at the LED screen outside the arena early.
This was obviously just an All-Star individual event, but it created the atmosphere of the NBA Finals.
If you want to talk about why Stern wants James to participate, you need to know the topic, or things like traffic, which can be realized.
In the arena, the seats are already full at this time, and in the front row of the auditorium, one side is full of stars, while the other side is full of all-star players.
Some fans may wonder why these All-Stars are present every time they watch an individual game. After all, they are not competing here?
The reason for this is that during the day, as part of the carnival, the officials arranged for the training of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams.
This training is arranged in the arena, and it is completely open to the public, which is an opportunity for fans to observe the stars up close.
Because it is connected to the individual games in the evening, most of the All-Stars will naturally choose to stay.
There are four individual competitions, Shooting Star, Skills Challenge, Three Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest.
In previous years, the latter two events attracted much attention, but this year because the dunk contest was so popular, fans only had one mood when watching it: If this is a video, please let me press the accelerator button.
Finally, after Pierce defeated Curry and Billups to win the three-point contest, the slam dunk contest that fans are most looking forward to this year is finally coming.
Before the game starts, the host introduces the four players in the order of appearance.
Xu Yong, DeRozan, Shannon Brown, James.
In this order of appearance, Xu Yong is first and James is last. What stands out is one thing.
This alone has caused some fans to whisper, because everyone knows that the players who play later in the order have an advantage.
Because you can decide whether to make adjustments based on the actions of the people in front of you.
As Xu Yong, who was the first to appear, was also under the greatest pressure.
The players have a few minutes to prepare after coming out, and it is at this time that the camera shows the audience on the sidelines.
There are league president David Stern and his assistant Adam Silver in the shot, as well as many Hollywood stars.
Xu Yong's mentality was relatively relaxed, but when he raised his head, his expression was stunned for a moment.
Because he saw a familiar figure and a more familiar dress.
Megan Fox actually showed up to see him come, and she was wearing the same jersey he signed two days ago.
After coming back to his senses, he felt inexplicably excited.
In fact, let alone Fox, just ordinary people playing ball on the field, and there is a beautiful woman standing on the sidelines, and you are just like the blue buff.
Not to mention the current situation, Fox made it clear that he was here just for him.
Soon, the game will begin.
When Xu Yong came on stage, cheers erupted from the scene.
It can be seen that Xu Yong's popularity is much higher than others expected.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, Xu Yong also waved his hands to signal the fans to cheer louder.
Faced with Xu Yong's actions, the fans naturally responded with even louder cheers.
Dallas fans don't know much about Xu Yong's character, but if you see a yellow player so confident, why don't you yell at him?
James frowned. He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
After finishing the movements, Xu Yong moved his arms, and then prepared to start his dunk performance.
The slam dunk contest is divided into preliminaries and finals. There are two rounds of slam dunks. The top two with the highest sum of points in the two preliminaries advance to the finals. This year, the final champion will be selected by the fans and spectators voting on mobile phones.
It is further refined to each round of dunks. There is a 2-minute time limit for a round of dunks, and a maximum of three dunks. When the time or number of dunks is exhausted, it will end regardless of whether it is successful or not.
Therefore, the preliminaries are generally an action of seeking stability.
The same is true for Xu Yong's first one. His first move is what he is best at and most sure of, an unremarkable 360 turn and dunk.gif.
What he is best at is naturally a success.
But just like Gu Tianle who shoots the eagles, it also depends on people when it is mediocre.
Xu Yong's 360 highlights a stretch and elegance, which is less violent than Carter's buckle, but has a little more visual beauty.
The judges gave the final score of 47 points.
In fact, the dunk was perfect, but because there was no innovation in the movement, the judges gave this score a bit low.
The second to appear is DeRozan.
He high-fived Xu Yong before entering the court, and then also delivered his first dunk, a crotch dunk that came out from behind the basket.
This action is not too difficult. DeRozan completed it after two attempts. The action was relatively stretched, and finally got a score of 42 points.
However, when the score came out, the fans at the scene were already a little restless, because it was obviously pressing the score!
This situation also made Brown, who was the third to appear on the court, feel the pressure. He tried a super difficult 360° turn from the free throw line when he came up.
His jumping height is enough, but obviously, his coordination and flexibility are not good enough, this action is too difficult for him.
But he did it simply, and for the second time he switched to a simple one-step dunk inside the free throw line.
It was a one-time success, but in the end only 37 points were scored.
By the time Brown finished dunking, the cheers of the fans on the scene had already begun to sound ahead of time.
James stood up amidst the cheers, and after blowing air with his left and right fists, he opened his hands and made a gesture of [King's Landing the World].jpg.
The atmosphere was pushed to a climax at this moment.
Xu Yong couldn't help being curious while watching.
What kind of slam dunk can this "king" who has never participated in a slam dunk contest in history.
After James got up, he took off his training clothes, revealing his No. 23 jersey, and then walked directly towards the midfield.
The famous Dallas cheerleaders "Fat Boys" who were wearing white clothes were sitting in the center of the field, but when they saw James coming, they all moved out of the way.
Looking at this posture, James' jump is not far away with this buckle.
After James walked up and took the ball, he didn't immediately start dunking. Instead, he waited until the audience cheered and cheered. Then he dribbled the ball twice, took a deep breath, and ran towards the basket with the ball in his arms. .
His choice was very smart. There is no requirement to dribble in the slam dunk contest, so walking with the ball happened to be his rhythm.
When he sprinted near the free throw line, he threw the ball directly to the backboard.
Obviously, this is a self-throwing and self-dunk dunk.
The ball hit the board in a good position, and it can be seen that James has made careful preparations for tonight's game.
After the basketball rebounded, James caught the ball with his left hand, and then there was an obvious lag in the air before switching to his right hand. After gliding, James made a trademark James dunk with his right hand and slammed the ball into the basket.gif!
There was an instant burst of cheers.
Needless to say, although this ball is not too technically difficult, it is still very suitable for James's dunk characteristics.
The judges quickly gave the score.
But it was this score that made the scene agitated.
48 points.
It was actually one point more than Xu Yong's dunk.
Xu Yong frowned slightly.
Tonight the judges obviously came with a mission.
In this case, it seems that he will exert his strength in advance.
Because of the special format of this year's competition, fans are subjective, so you can't really wait until the finals before making an effort.
He turned around and called Noah over in the audience.
When he said he was determined to win before, he was not just shouting slogans. He had prepared a lot of moves for this dunk contest.
After the cheerleaders danced a sexy dance that was enough to attract Ding Yanyuhang's attention, the second round of dunking in the preliminaries began immediately.
The order of appearance in the second round is different from that of the first round, it is played from low to high according to the score.
So the first one out is Shannon Brown.
When Brown came out, there was a burst of cheers.
Not because of Brown, but because of Kobe.
Xu Yong was not the only one looking for help.
Kobe made a good pass, but Brown didn't do anything when he caught the ball, just a straight up and down dunk.
This also amused the audience.
It can be seen that Brown has fully interpreted that sentence: nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up.
After Xu Yong and James both scored high points in the first round, he felt that he was out of luck.
This performance also fully explains why he was defeated by James in high school.
After watching Brown's performance, the fans already felt that DeRozan, who played second, could skip it.
But at this moment, DeRozan withstood the pressure, and with the assist of teammate Sony Wilms hitting the side of the basket, he performed a difficult catch and gliding windmill dunk.gif, which attracted applause from the whole house and the judges. They also gave away the first 50 points of the night.
Xu Yong was stunned for a moment by this rating.
It seems that he misunderstood the judges earlier, guessing that the score of the first deduction is the effect of James' league status.
But this also made him more confident in the next dunk.
The scene was also restless, because with the 50 points, DeRozan's total score in the two rounds reached 93 points.
This made the game suspenseful for a moment.
Simple mathematical calculation, Xu Yong's second dunk is less than 46 points, James' second dunk is less than 45 points, that means he will not be able to enter the final.
Originally, the gimmick of this year's slam dunk contest was Xu Yong VS James. If one of these two people really can't make it to the finals, it would be really embarrassing to miss someone.
The scene shot was quickly shown to Xu Yong, and he was the next one to appear on the stage.
Xu Yong's expression looked very calm, and he even got up and gave DeRozan a hug and congratulations.
Just then, Noah took the ball and walked towards the basket.
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and the second dunk of several players tonight all had assistants.
Noah walked to the basket with the ball and stood at the top of the reasonable collision zone, about 1.5 meters away from the basket.
After he stood up, he leaned his head forward and put the ball on the back of his neck.
This move made the discussion at the scene even louder.
Obviously, this is a dunk action with the ball.
Moreover, Noah is 2 meters tall, so the difficulty factor comes up directly.
Xu Yong adjusted his breathing.
The action he wanted to do came from "White Jordan" Jordan Kilgannon, perhaps the most entertaining dunker in human history.
Yes, in terms of pure viewing, it is more explosive than Carter and LaVine.
And unlike Bai Jordan, because of his height and Noah's height, it will be more difficult for him to dunk the same dunk.
In order to practice this, he worked hard, and even knocked his head on the backboard several times.
After adjusting his breath, he set off, rushed directly to the position of one step inside the free throw line, and then flew into the air sideways.
And while soaring into the air, his whole body showed a "sitting" movement.
The fans at the scene were stunned. What kind of fairy move is this?
Even Fox in the audience subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand.
After rising to the highest point, Xu Yong pressed the basketball with his right hand and completed the "sit down and change hands" above the back of Noah's neck. After the ball was changed to his left hand, he followed the gliding posture and hit the ball heavily with his left hand Smashed into the basket.gif!
A success!
It can only succeed once, because if it fails, it will hit the backboard directly!
After the ball was smashed in, the scene was silent because everyone was stunned.
When the fans came back to their senses, the scene had been overwhelmed by overwhelming cheers.
Even Kobe and the others in the front row excitedly stood up and pumped their fists and shouted, and O'Neal even held the camera and made a shocked expression.
Fox: Xu Yong is simply superman!
Soon, the on-site judges gave their scores.
50 points, no suspense.
This 50 points is not because the dunk is worth 50 points, but because the full score is only 50 points!
Even some fans couldn't help but shake their heads. Xu Yong's dunks should be reserved for the finals.
Xu Yong waved his fist excitedly at this time.
To be honest, this action is very difficult. In history, Aaron Gordon also imitated a similar action in the dunk contest, but Gordon did not dare to use the front, but the side, because the risk factor of the front is high.
He was also prepared for a second dunk.
But I don’t know if it was because of the atmosphere at the scene or Megan Fox wearing his jersey. His whole body was very excited, and he succeeded once and performed super-level.
Xu Yong took the lead to advance to the final, and all the pressure came to James.
In the first round, he scored the highest score by relying on his league status and dunks that suited his style, but in the second round he didn't show some strength, it might be a joke.
James' face looked very ugly at this time.
He didn't plan to use force in the preliminaries, but who would have thought that the two brothers from Arizona State would directly surround him.
This was something he never expected.
But being forced into this situation, he could only use his ultimate move.
When James came on the court, two assistants came to the sidelines at the same time, both of them were his Cavaliers teammates, one was Daniel Gibson and the other was Varejao.
And among the two, Varejao stood under the basket, and Gibson stood on the bottom line on the side of the free throw line. This scene confused everyone.
Could it be that James was going to perform an alley-oop dunk?
Xu Yong was also interested. To be honest, he was really curious about this battle.
Especially, when James walks toward the baseline with the ball.
What on earth is this about?
James took the ball and exhaled, then started sprinting, rising into the air two meters away from the basket.
At this time, Gibson jumped up to try to block James' dunk, and Varejao also stretched out his hands.
After dodging Gibson's interference with a lever in the air, James pulled the ball up again, and smashed the ball directly into the basket through Varejao. gif!
The whole place was silent.
Even Xu Yong was shocked for the first time since his rebirth.
Damn it, can you still play like this? !
Soon, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Don't tell me, although this operation is very outrageous, it belongs to the kind of outrageous fucking to open the door for outrageous, outrageous home, but it still has a feeling.
Because James' dunking skills are strong in actual combat, it would be difficult for him to twist and turn his skills, but his physical fitness is so explosive, and the visual impact in actual combat is very strong.
Originally, it was difficult to integrate the two, but now it's better, James said, I just hired extras.
Moreover, only James can play like this.
First of all, most people would never think of this kind of operation. Secondly, how many teammates are willing to cooperate with you?
It is also possible to achieve the [Knight Kingdom] that Ayers described before.
Xu Yong: You are so talented!
But this made the judges on the sidelines embarrassed, because this operation was really a rolling pin stabbing the ass, which opened their eyes.
And now that the camera is on them, they can't really start the discussion.
So after a while of eye contact, they each gave their scores.
9分、9分、9分、9分、10分。
46 points.
James qualified for the finals with a thrilling second place finish.
The commotion at the scene was louder than before.
DeRozan was also taken aback when he saw this, then shook his head with a wry smile.
This is exactly one point more, and after all, the judges finally exerted their strength.
Xu Yong got up and walked to DeRozan at this time, then reached out and patted the latter's shoulder.
When DeRozan looked up, he pointed at the opponent and then at himself, which meant: I will get back the opportunity you lost in the finals.
Finals, Xu Yong and James.
Although the process was a bit tortuous and even a bit bizarre, in the end, as the outside world expected before the game, they came to the peak duel between the two.
Xu Yong's disrespect for James, and James' strong response, who will be the final winner will be decided soon.
Another sexy cheerleading dance performance, this time one that Ding Yan Yuhang could look down at.jpg.
Taking advantage of this time, Barkley and the others at the commentary booth also started talking.
However, they all intelligently avoided talking about dunks in the preliminaries, and instead analyzed who will win the championship in the finals.
Buckley's point of view is naturally the most interesting.
With three other commentators looking on, Barkley gave his prediction.
"LeBron James."
If you want to ask Barkley what is good, except for his big mouth, he has to be smart.
Then on the show, when asked why Jordan is handsome, the person who said "He is not handsome, you are handsome even if you have two to three billion", the kind of person who flatters you so much that you can't feel it, how could you not hear it? How about the taste tonight?
As "KBfnas" said on social media before, this is clearly a king's coronation ceremony.
The other two also chose James one after another, but "Magic" Johnson, who was silenced by Xu Yong in the ncaa championship last year, chose Xu Yong out of the ordinary at this time.
As a proud celebrity, he really didn't want to speak against his will.
The discussion in the commentary booth was about the same, and the finals were about to begin.
Before the start, the DJ at the scene reminded the audience and all the fans in the United States that they can vote through mobile phones to determine the champion.
At this time, the domestic fans were naturally furious, but despite being furious, they actually understood that if they could vote, even if Xu Yongdu stood still, they could still deliver the championship trophy to him. .
The order of appearance in the finals is still based on the score in the preliminaries, with James playing first and Xu Yong playing second.
Xu Yong's strategy in the preliminaries still won him a certain amount of initiative.
Then, when the finals started, all eyes were on James again.
James played two rounds of tricks in the preliminaries. If this happens again in the finals, the fans will really not be able to stand it anymore.
The smart James obviously knew this, so he didn't play the first dunk of the final.
His first dunk was a front windmill dunk.gif.
This action showed off all of James' physical fitness and little flexibility.
If there is a rating, this is at least a high score of 45+.
Next it was Xu Yong's turn.
What many people didn't expect was that when James came on the stage, the reaction was not too big, but when Xu Yong came on the stage, there was a burst of cheers.
Obviously, Xu Yong's two dunks in the preliminaries have already raised the expectations of the fans.
His first dunk in the final was still with Noah as his assistant.
It's just that Noah didn't raise the ball above his head with both hands this time, but stood on the side of the free throw line, dragging the ball with his hands.
After Xu Yong adjusted Noah's ball-holding position under the basket, he walked beyond the three-point line and was ready to start.
The fans gradually became quiet at this time. They were really looking forward to Xu Yong's performance in the finals.
Xu Yong started to sprint, and when he rushed to the free throw line and was a big step away from Noah, he flew straight into the air.
While soaring into the air, others have already started to spin, which is his good turn and dunk.
Then he waited until he was in mid-air and turned half a body, he snatched the ball from Noah's hand with his right hand, and then the whole person spun in the air like a giant loop, and finally, with an extremely graceful and powerful Way, the right hand slammed the ball into the basket. gif!
The moment the ball was smashed in, the fans cheered violently.
Kobe and the others in the front row were already rushing to the sideline, pulling each other to prevent each other from getting up.
The judges may have a subjective scoring tendency, but the fans' reaction at this moment already illustrates their evaluation of the first dunk of the final between the two sides.
It cannot be said that each has its own merits, but it is still a matter of judgment.
This time, James' face was really ugly.
You said that he underestimated the enemy in the opening game, and that was his own admission.
But he definitely didn't have it this time in the dunk contest.
First of all, he racked his brains for this slam dunk contest, otherwise he would not have such a magical operation of pulling a crowd.
Secondly, Xu Yong's performance in the season is actually very similar to his style, all of which are actual combat buckle-type.
At most, Xu Yong showed off his crotch and changed hands when he hit them.
But who would have thought that Xu Yong could perform so many entertaining tricks.
But don't underestimate this.
We must know that the attention of the slam dunk contest has decreased in recent years, not only because there are no big names to participate, but also because it has no new ideas, and all dunks that can be dunked have been dunked. Not to mention the fans, even the players are not willing to participate. up.
But Xu Yong, while fully demonstrating his dunking ability to them tonight, he also showed moves that they had never seen before, how could he not be liked by others.
However, James' face was ugly, but he didn't seem flustered.
Because he still has the dunk action of pressing the bottom of the box that has not been sacrificed.
This year's slam dunk contest is voted by fans, so there are no extra rounds, so he can use it boldly and safely.
And before the final dunk, James waved his hands to signal for fans to cheer, just like Xu Yong did in the preliminaries.
Cheers echoed at the scene.
James' popularity is here after all.
And his current appearance of not being afraid of challenges also adds a lot of points to him.
After the fans' cheers reached their peak, James put down his hand, took the basketball and walked towards the backcourt.
This time he didn't go to the midfield, but went directly to the baseline on the other side.
Seeing this, Xu Yong can basically guess what action James is going to do.
There is a saying in the slam dunk contest: don't decide the free throw line when things happen.
In the 1988 slam dunk contest, Jordan's opponent was Wilkins, the "essence of human movies" who is now sitting on the judging panel.
Before the last dunk, he was ahead of Jordan, and it was a perfect score.
As a result, on the last dunk, Jordan successfully defeated Wilkins with a free throw line dunk, and let that dunk be dubbed the title of "flying man" and go down in history forever.
James started to attack. He was still holding the ball. When he rushed to the free throw line, he really jumped into the air. Then he flew up like a monkey in the sky. After gliding in the air for an extremely long distance, he held it tightly. The ball hit the basket.gif!
The scene instantly erupted in cheers from the fans.
There are many people who have attempted or completed free throw line dunks. In terms of aesthetics, Jordan ranks first, but in terms of power, James' dunk just now was even better than Carter's!
Xu Yong's expression suddenly became serious at this time.
James' previous three dunks, if someone else dunks, there is a high probability that he will not be able to enter the finals.
But in the dunk just now, James really showed his strength.
It can even be said that at least after completing this dunk, James has raised the fans' impression of him to the same level as Xu Yong.
The final champion depends on what Xu Yong dunked in the last time and how he dunked.
The scene was shot to Xu Yong, and Xu Yong stood up.
He stretched his arms and did nothing to make the audience cheer.
After he took the ball, he also walked to the backcourt.
Now, even if he didn't make any moves, the cheers at the scene could no longer be stopped.
Because Xu Yong made it clear that he was going to the free throw line to the free throw line!
Not to mention the fans, all the All-Stars on the sidelines couldn't contain their excitement.
If Xu Yongzhen succeeds in dunking, no matter what the result is, this dunk contest will become another classic after 2000.
Although Xu Yong was serious, he could not tell that he was nervous.
After adjusting his breathing, Xu Yong started sprinting.
Unlike James, he dribbles a lot and sprints forward.
Dribbling and holding the ball, Xu Yong has already completed his suppression of James in his starting movements.
But this is only a small part, what is more important is Xu Yong's dunk action.
Xu Yong dribbled the ball across the half court and into the three-point line. When it came to the free throw line, he stepped in with half of his foot in the air.
In terms of take-off distance, he is slightly inferior to James.
At this point, the two sides at the free throw line are basically tied.
but!
By the time Xu Yong jumped up and started to perform movements, the comparison of these details had lost its meaning.
Because Xu Yong, his left hand is pulling the ball down!
Big windmill at the free throw line!
The NBA Slam Dunk Contest has never been attempted before.
James' eyes widened in disbelief.
The cheers on the scene have already sounded ahead of time.
Xu Yong swung the ball round in the air, then pulled it up, before falling...
"Oh!"
The right hand smashed the ball into the basket. gif!
"It's over! It's over!" Johnson shouted excitedly in the commentary booth.
The next second, the entire stadium was filled with cheers from the audience.
After Xu Yong landed, he pumped his fists and roared excitedly.
To be honest, it was a bit reluctant to complete the action just now with his current ability.
However, as shown in the opening scene, his entire body was in a super-level state of excitement.
Tonight, he is Chicago LaVine!
"Satan! Satan!"
The result of the game has not been announced yet, but the fans at the scene have already started chanting Xu Yong's nickname.
In their view, the slam dunk just now is not something humans can do at all, and Xu Yong's nickname is so appropriate at this moment.
The game is over, and the shouts of the fans continue.
After a long time, the DJ reminded the fans that they can vote by SMS.
The process is quick.
After the time was over, the host, Xu Yong and James all stood in the center of the venue.
Before announcing the results, the host conducted a short interview with the two people.
Basically, there's just one problem.
"Are you looking forward to this championship?"
Xu Yong's answer was simple: "Yes, that's why I came here."
James' answer is much more complicated and intriguing:
"I suffered some groin injuries before, you know, that will affect some of my preparations, of course I was good tonight, I mean, whether I win or not, to be able to participate in such a competition, for I have no regrets for the fans giving such a wonderful match.”
Xu Yong was speechless for a moment: I would really like to thank you.
After listening to the speeches of the two, the host signaled the staff to hand over the envelope containing the results.
"The winner of the 2010 NBA Slam Dunk Contest is..."
The host glanced at the envelope with a smile, and then announced the result,
"Xu Yong!"
The content about the carnival is because no one has written it before and thought it was fresh, so I went to check the information and design, and then I can spoil it. This book did not deliberately design emotional dramas, because the protagonist’s regrets for so many years are waiting for him to make up for it. I don’t have time to talk about relationships. I only cover a wide range of topics, from actresses, female singers, female models to the momentary pleasures of various professions. In the end, it’s a blast. Brothers, come and support me~~
