Chapter 99 The Slam Dunk Contest Finals Begins

Du Zhe not only played tricks with this dunk, but also the whole dunk action was extremely explosive.

The fans who felt a little disappointed just now have already boiled over.

Is this really a move that Huaguo players can make?

Some fans had doubts written all over their faces.

But more fans were screaming excitedly.

In their view, this is the real slam dunk contest, and Du Zhe's just shot is already worth the ticket price.

10分!10分!10分!10分!还是10分!
The five judges agreed and all gave Du Zhe 10 points.

Du Zhe's second dunk was the same as DeRozan's, and he also got a full score!
The top three players, DeRozan 92 points, Gerald Wallace 78 points, Du Zhe 97 points.

Two perfect dunks appeared one after another, which had disrupted Robinson's rhythm, and now all the pressure was on him.

He scored 44 points in the first dunk, and now Robinson needs to score at least 48 points in the next dunk if he wants to keep his chance of advancing.

Now that he was standing on the edge of the cliff, the two-time slam dunk king decided that he could no longer retain his strength. He could only take out a bottom-of-the-box dunk that he had prepared.

He originally wanted to save this move until the finals, but the current situation forced Robinson to use his full strength.

Robinson smashed the ball against the backboard, jumped high when the basketball rebounded, and then performed a gorgeous 360-degree folding reverse dunk.

This dunk is quite similar to the perfect dunk completed by Francis in 2000. Robinson's amazing jumping ability is clearly displayed through this dunk.

In addition, he has a perfect grasp of the rhythm and balance of dunks. Coupled with his height of just over 1.7 meters, the visual impact of the whole set of performances is quite shocking.

It stands to reason that it should be no problem for him to get a perfect score for this buckle, but it is a pity that the judges are still immersed in Du Zhe's shocking buckle just now and cannot extricate themselves.

The judges, who had spoiled their appetites, gave a rather ambiguous score of 48 points after discussion. It was obvious that the judges had more to say and wanted to watch one more round of the competition.

In this way, the first round of the slam dunk contest ended, the total score ranking: Du Zhe 97 points, DeRozan 92 points, Nate Robinson 92 points, Gerald Wallace 78 points.

In addition to Du Zhe's smooth promotion and Wallace's direct elimination, Robinson and DeRozan still need another round of play-offs.

For the audience at the scene, being able to watch one more round of the game is naturally more worth the ticket price, and everyone must be happy to see it.

And Du Zhe is also happy to see the result. After all, this round of play-offs can force the two opponents to use more trump cards, which can be regarded as increasing his chances of winning in disguise.

In the play-offs, DeRozan tried a riding dunk, while Robinson completed a 180-degree alley catch with the cooperation of his teammates.

The dunks of both of them seemed to be lacking in creativity. In the end, after some discussion, the judges decided to let the two-time dunk king Nate Robinson advance to the finals.

In the absence of novelty of the two, Robinson's amazing jumping can at least make people shine.

In the final round, the champion will be decided between Du Zhe and Robinson.

In the second round, the two still had to complete two dunks alternately. The first player to play was Nate Robinson, who had a lower score in the first round.

The intensity of today's game exceeded Robinson's expectations, which caused him to exhaust his cards in the first round and play-offs.

But in the finals, his performance couldn't be too stretched, so Robinson planned to challenge himself.

For the first dunk, he tried to complete a long-distance take-off with a big windmill in the crotch, but due to lack of practice before, his first dunk was unsuccessful.

Robinson then tried again, but again failed.

After two failures, Robinson could only give up challenging this difficult action.

In the end, Robinson's first dunk only completed a simple relay dunk.

He tosses the basketball high, catches it as it bounces off the floor, and dunks it.

The difficulty of this ball is not high, and the degree of excitement is slightly insufficient.

The audience who were looking forward to the scene were disappointed, and only a few fans gave applause out of courtesy.

And several stars who watched the game from the sidelines - Howard, Pierce and others also shook their heads in disappointment. Obviously, in their opinion, this shot did not reach the level of the finals of the slam dunk contest.

After completing the dunk, Robinson could feel from the sparse applause that his first dunk was not successful.

Unlike the first round where the referee scored the winner, the championship was decided by the votes of the audience.

The indifferent reaction at the scene made Robinson feel cold, and he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his third slam dunk contest trophy.

At the same time, in a luxury hotel somewhere in Dallas, Kobe, who was sitting on the sofa watching the game, also hammered the sofa hard.

Although Kobe Bryant suffered a serious finger injury and was unable to play in the All-Star Game, he still came to Dallas and prepared to watch the game when the game started.

As for tonight's game, although Kobe also received an invitation, he did not go to the scene.

There is no other reason. When he thinks that Du Zhe will participate in tonight's three-point contest and dunk contest, Kobe feels as uncomfortable as a thorn in his heart.

And one of the spots in the dunk contest was originally going to his younger brother Shannon Brown.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. Du Zhe not only qualified for the three-point contest, but also won the slam dunk contest.

This made Kobe subconsciously think that it was Du Zhe who took away his younger brother's chance to compete.

With old and new grudges added together, how could he go to the scene to watch the battle and witness Du Zhe's glorious moment?

However, since Vanessa was accompanying him when he went out this time, Kobe could not go out for entertainment at night, so he had to turn on the TV to pass the time.

By coincidence, as soon as he turned on the TV, he saw the famous scene of Du Zhe breaking the record with his eyes closed.

Fortunately, someone nearby helped him vent his anger in time, so Kobe barely held back and did not have an attack.

When it came to the dunk contest, he began to support Nate Robinson, who had great hopes of winning the championship.

He hopes that Nate Robinson can rely on his outstanding performance to kill Du Zhe's limelight.

But it's a pity that Robinson's dunk just now was mediocre, and Kobe can only hope that Du Zhe made a mistake himself.

But at the competition site, the previous few rounds of boring performances had already made the audience feel drowsy. Du Zhe finally made his debut again amidst the long-awaited calls.

The fans at the scene were eagerly calling Du Zhe's name, and the audience in front of the screen could not help but straighten up.

Everyone is eagerly waiting, hoping that Du Zhe can bring a little different experience.

However, Du Zhe's performance did not start immediately, but several staff members came in and got busy.
