At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 91 Slam Dunk Contest Preliminaries

Two young players are ready to compete for the final place in the slam dunk contest.

The audience and players at the scene also focused their attention on the two, wanting to see what kind of performance these two rookies can show.

Lopez was the only exception. The team's first-half lag made him a little skeptical about his life. He felt that he was suffering from bad luck now, and it seemed that he had no chance of winning the game.

What irritated Lopez the most was that in the matchup, he couldn't even stop the 2-meter Blair, and allowed his opponent to get a double-double on him in just halftime.

Under the double blow, Lopez put his head in his hands and sat on the bench, so he didn't have the heart to watch the game.

Du Zhe, who has already qualified for the competition, is sitting leisurely on the sidelines, ready to observe the weight of his future opponent.

In the qualifiers, the two players have to dunk alternately, and each player has two chances to dunk.

DeMar DeRozan, who debuted first, didn't play any tricks on the first ball, but just completed a simple and rough 360-degree swivel dunk.

Du Zhe felt that this shot was really good in actual combat, but it seemed a bit mediocre in the dunk contest.

But considering that it's only the qualifiers, it's not incomprehensible that DeRozan doesn't want to take out the unique skills at the bottom of the box.

Then Du Zhe's teammate Eric Gordon came on the stage to show his skills.

Gordon wanted to throw and dunk the first ball, and came up with a difficult rebound slam dunk.

But whether he was too nervous or too excited after just half the game, Gordon's several attempts at the plate were not very successful.

What's even more outrageous is that one of them hit the board and even threw the ball directly into it, which caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

This obviously affected Gordon's mentality to a certain extent, and his movements became more impatient, and he tried several times before completing the expected dunk.

Gordon has failed so many times, which obviously affected his perception, and even had a significant impact on his own mentality.

Du Zhe made a silent note in his heart so as not to make the same mistake as Gordon in the race.

He decided to choose a relatively simple dunk action for his first dunk.

After all, a good start is half the battle. In the dunk contest, a good and relatively simple dunk can relieve a lot of pressure.

DeRozan's second goal was still simple and crude. After a long-distance run-up, he jumped high, pulled the ball to his waist, and completed a powerful windmill dunk.

Like the first dunk, DeRozan still chose a more secure dunk method for the second dunk.

Although there is no work, at least from the scene, he looks much better than Eric Gordon, who has always failed.

At this time, Gordon, who had been forced to the edge of the cliff, was also ready to break the boat. He asked today's teammate OJ Mayo to help pass the ball, and wanted to make a difficult alley-oop to save the situation.

After receiving a pass from Mayo, Gordon looked back at the moon and completed a wonderful alley-oop dunk.

But his frequent first-time failures have affected fans' first impressions.

In the end, after fans voted, DeMar DeRozan defeated Gordon with more than [-]% of the votes and advanced to the dunk contest.

After this interlude at halftime, the second half of the Rookies Rivalry continued.

After watching the qualifiers for the Midfield Slam Dunk Contest, the rookies on the scene were also very eager to perform. In the second half, everyone's tendency to dunk was significantly improved.

Curry, who came off the bench, couldn't help but want to make two dunks, but his own strength is really limited. After two failed attempts, he still chose to honestly score from the outside.

In order to win, Du Zhe even put out all his strength in the second half.

Fortunately, his scoring methods are mainly three-pointers and dunks, which is quite entertaining in the eyes of the audience.

Relying on his strong stealing ability, Du Zhe was able to easily steal the ball from the first-year rookies on the opposite side from time to time, and then he came to the frontcourt with a gorgeous fast-break dunk.

"Oh! Du Zhe's 360-degree turning dunk is almost exactly the same as DeRozan's dunk just now!" Director Zhang couldn't help shouting at the familiar dunk.

"Is he paying tribute to DeRozan, or is he challenging his opponent?" Director Yu felt that Du Zhe's choice of dunk action definitely had a deeper meaning.

Sure enough, not long after, Du Zhe took off from the free throw line during a fast break, faced Evans' defense, and dunked the opponent to the ground with a gorgeous windmill dunk.

Almost exactly the same as DeRozan's second dunk just now.

No!Compared with DeRozan's slam dunk, Du Zhe's slam dunk is not only a dunk, but also more stretched, and the visual impact is obviously higher.

Eric Gordon, who was on the same team as Du Zhe, was completely convinced.

Originally, he was dissatisfied with Du Zhe's direct qualification for the slam dunk contest. After all, he can be regarded as a violent dunker in the Clippers, and he thought that his dunk ability was not inferior to Du Zhe's.

But after having this intuitive comparison today, he finally understood what it means to have people beyond people and heaven beyond heaven.

After seeing Du Zhe's performance on the court, DeRozan, who was sitting on the sidelines, immediately lost hope for tomorrow's dunk contest.

For the same dunk, he completed it in the form of a performance, while Du Zhe completed it in an actual confrontation. In this comparison, what can he do against Du Zhe?
What's even more outrageous is that Du Zhe's dunk completed in actual combat was even more powerful and beautiful than his, which made DeRozan even more desperate.

Before the slam dunk contest started, Du Zhe had already persuaded an opponent to quit.

But they were not the only ones conquered by Du Zhe's performance.

With Du Zhe's efficient scoring performance, Westbrook also began to change his mind and no longer took the ball to do it alone.

After all, passing the ball to Du Zhe will get an assist in all likelihood, so why not do it for Westbrook?

Outside the three-point line, Du Zhe's firepower alone can match the entire team on the opposite side.

With the blessing of his microwave skills, his shots became hotter and hotter. Not only did he shoot open three-pointers, but he even made a few shots directly against the defensive players.

He made 12 of 8 shots in a single quarter, hit 6 three-pointers, and added two dunks. In just one third quarter, Du Zhe scored 20 points alone.

The two teams also changed their offense and defense, and the second-year team successfully overtook the score at 91:90.

In less than three quarters, Du Zhe scored 34 points. This kind of scoring performance made the audience and players think of the same person.

That is Kevin Durant, who played a guest role as the assistant coach of the first-year team today.
