The Golden Age of Basketball

"Hi everyone, and welcome to the 1985 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. It's going to be an exciting night. I'm Henry Weitzer from BS TV. I hope all the viewers enjoy what we've done for Your slam dunk contest."

On the night of February 2th, the slam dunk contest of the 9 All-Star Game was about to be held at the Civic Plaza Arena in Indiana. The bs TV station broadcast live across the United States. At this time, the TV camera showed the participating players on the field. The team's sportswear is doing warm-up exercises before the game.

For the audience at the scene, the dunks of these participating players during the warm-up are enough to dazzle people. Julius Erving's windmill, Michael Jordan's reverse dunk, Drexler's hands Folding dunks and Terrence Stansbury's alley-oop all made the fans hooked, and some fans have already started dancing on the sidelines.

"The scene is really deserted." Only Gan Guoyang, who was sitting in the auditorium, felt that the scene was quite deserted, and he was probably the only one who thought so.

Indeed, compared with the later NB All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, the 1985 Slam Dunk Contest really looked a little crude, at least it didn't seem to be entertaining.

The sidelines are not surrounded by nb big and small stars, and there are no colorful sideline performances, plus this is Indianapolis, and there will be no stars from the entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, this is a real dunk contest without so many gimmicks and packaging, but the participating players are all outstanding.

There are as many as eight players participating in this slam dunk contest. They are Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Julius Erving, Darrell - Griffith, Larry Nance, Terrence Stansbury and Orlando Woolridge.

Different from the "gadgets" that famous stars in the 21st century are no longer willing to participate in the slam dunk contest, some popular stars at that time were willing to participate in this newly established competition to show off. [

"Okay, the game is about to start. Our game will be divided into three rounds. In the first round, except for Larry Nance and Julius Erving, the other six players will have three dunks. After the end, the three with the highest score will enter the second round. In this way, there will be five players competing in the second round, and they will also perform three dunks. Then we will choose the two with the highest score to enter the final battle. In the final battle, before The person with the lower score starts first, and each person dunks three times, and the person with the highest score wins, it's that simple." The host of the TV station introduced the rules of the slam dunk contest.

Since Larry Nance and Julius Erving were No.1 and No.2 in the last slam dunk contest, they received first-round byes.

Thus, the first-round dunk contest will be Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Darrell Griffith, Terrence Stansbury and Orlando Woolrich.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first person to bring you a slam dunk performance is the small forward from the Atlanta Hawks, Dominique Wilkins!" J at the scene began to introduce the players who played the game in order.

With the applause of the audience, Wilkins, wearing the No. 21 Eagles jersey, walked onto the court with the ball.

I don't have much impression of Wilkins Gan Guoyang, because the Trail Blazers and the Eagles only played one game, and it was at the beginning of the season. Gan Guoyang played very short time at that time, and the two were in different positions. I am not very impressed with this famous buckle general in history.

For Wilkins' first dunk, he smashed the ball to the floor, jumped up, held the basketball in the air with one hand, and smashed the ball hard into the basket.

"Oh~" There was an exclamation from the scene. Although Wilkins's dunk was simple, it was more powerful, and the entire basket was obviously pushed down at an angle.

"9 points, 9 points, 10 points, 9 points, 10 points." The judges on the scene gave their scores. At that time, the judges of the slam dunk contest included media reporters, nb commentators, and former coaches. Anyway, Gan Guoyang saw it at a glance. I don't know anyone.

"An uncreative dunk can score 47 points." Gan Guoyang felt a little disdainful when he saw that such a dunk could score 47 points.

"Gan, this dunk is already great, but I can't do it anyway." It was Gan Guoyang's teammate, Vandeweghe who spoke.

"Look, Clyde will be even better."

"Dominique Wilkins, the first dunk with 47 points, the second participant is a shooting guard from the Portland Trail Blazers, Clyde Glider Drexler!" Now Drexler Le's name has spread throughout the league.

"Come on, Clyde!" Gan Guoyang yelled from the side. He found that Drexler was still a little nervous. Last year, Drexler participated in the slam dunk contest, but he did not perform well and was eliminated in the first round.

Drexler took the ball in the middle line, he grabbed the ball with one hand and started a run-up, went straight to the basket from the right side, and took off about 15 feet from the basket, with his whole body fully extended and his legs bent like a winged bird The big bird flew to the basket! [

"Bang!" When Drexler was about to fall, he dunked the ball into the basket!

"Oh, as expected of a glider, we saw that he was really gliding! He was gliding!" The TV commentator saw Drexler's dunk, and it was easy to think of the wonderful dunk he made against the Lakers. Fast-break dunks are really flying like a glider.

"10 points, 10 points, 9 points, 9 points, 10 points." The judges gave their scores. Although Drexler's ball movement is very simple, the advantage lies in the long take-off distance and beautiful and stretched posture. What Wilkins did not do before, undoubtedly gave the audience and judges a different artistic enjoyment, so it is not surprising to get 48 points.

Next, Jordan started his first dunk. Jordan attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came on the court, because everyone else was wearing the team's dark "" away uniform, only Jordan was wearing a black "" uniform. A short-sleeved shirt with a red vest on the outside, red and black sports trousers and red and black Nike shoes underneath, and a thick gold chain around his neck.

This style is unique among all players, but there is nothing special about his dunk. It is almost the same as Drexler's, and it is also a gliding dunk.

"The dunk styles of the two are really different." Sitting on the sidelines, Gan Guoyang saw that it was also a gliding dunk. Drexler's dunk was stronger, but Jordan's was more stretched and his movements were more graceful.

44 points, because Drexler had done this before, so Jordan's viewing "sex" was also compromised.

Afterwards, Griffith, Stansbury and Woolrich also completed their first dunks. Generally speaking, everyone in the first dunk was flat, and there were not many surprises, at least in the case of Gan Guoyang. Here it is.

After the water test of the first button was over, the second round began immediately, and at this time everyone had to start to show their real kung fu.

Wilkins is still the first, this time he took the ball to the bottom corner on the right side of the basket, outside the three-point line.

Wilkins dribbles, his dribble is very fast, he shoots the ball quickly and powerfully, he reaches the basket with two big strides, takes off with the ball in both hands, then turns his back to the basket, and folds his hands behind his back!

"Oh-my~" The commentator finally felt some passion, and he marveled at Wilkins' dunk.

"10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 9 points!" Wilkins' dunk came out, only one judge gave 9 points, and all others were 10 points, so Wilkins got 49 points !

Now, Wilkins has scored 96 points after two rounds, which is quite a high score.

But the audience's attention was quickly attracted by Drexler, who played second, and...Gan Guoyang, who was invited to the court by Drexler.

"Oh, Drexler's teammate Gan from the Trail Blazers came to the court, what's going on? Can I still ask for off-court assistance?" The idea of ​​cooperating with others will not come up until the next slam dunk contest, but Gan Guoyang made this idea one game ahead of schedule.

"Let's see what they're trying to do, Gan is behind the backboard with the ball and Drexler is on the baseline."

The eyes of all the audience were firmly attracted to Gan Guoyang and Drexler. They were all curious about what kind of dunk this was.

"1, 2, 3!" Gan Guoyang yelled slogans, and when he yelled 3, Drexler rushed towards the basket, and Gan Guoyang threw the ball to the back of the backboard!

This is an imitation of Iguodala's classic dunk in the 2006 slam dunk contest. He catches the ball from behind the backboard, leaps to the front of the basket and turns around for a dunk—only now that Iguodala is just born, this idea was given by Gan Guoyang. stolen.

Originally, Drexler's dunk idea was to take off from the right side of the basket with the ball and leap to the right side for a reverse dunk. However, after watching Drexler's performance, Gan Guoyang felt that Drexler's human ball The combination is not good, because he has to jump with the ball, so his stagnation and sliding distance are greatly reduced, and the overall effect is very mediocre.

So Gan Guoyang decided to let him throw the ball, so that Drexler would not be bound by the ball, and he could fully accelerate the jump, then catch the ball in the air, glide, and pass through the basket.

"Drexler goes through the rim, catches the ball and dunks back! It's amazing! It's amazing! It's amazing!"

The atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited by this dunk. Countless spectators stood up and applauded. At the same time, they picked up the scoreboards in their hands to score Drexler. With the exception of them, they all held "10 points" scoreboards.

"10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points!" Five ten points!The first full-score slam dunk of this year's slam dunk contest was born!

Drexler stepped forward and hugged Gan Guoyang to thank him for his excellent ideas.

"Come on Clyde, your performance is not over yet."
