Chapter 333 Slam Dunk Contest
"You bastard, I'll strangle you bastard." When Meng Xu received the All-Star 3-point contest trophy from Larry Bird and Craig Hodges, Meng Xu, who had just left the game, directly He was hugged by Nowitzki's neck, as if he would not give up until he strangled him.Although he has already participated in the three-time All-Star 3-point contest, Nowitzki doesn't care whether he wins the championship or not, but Xiang Mengxu's way of doing this made Nowitzki lose face at all, which is really annoying Now, Nowitzki can't wait to strangle this bastard.

When all the All-Stars on the sidelines congratulated Meng Xu for winning the All-Star 3-Point Contest one by one, the highlight of today's All-Star Contest is about to begin. There is no doubt that on the second day of the All-Star Weekend, almost all spectators The focus is on the slam dunk contest. Compared with the All-Star 3-point contest, the slam dunk contest is today’s main meal. Since the birth of the first All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, this is the stage for superstars and legends. Julius Erving, Domi Nick Wilkins, Michael Jordan, Drexler, etc., one after another, superstars who are familiar to everyone, continue to shine on this stage, and Vince Carter in the 3 season even promoted the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Got to the top.

This year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest will use new rules. Since last year's slam dunk contest was not well received, in order to save the ratings, the league hopes that Carter can participate in another dunk contest and have a peak duel with Meng Xu, but Carter is clear. Said that he would not participate in the dunk contest again, which also made the league and a group of sponsors very dissatisfied with Carter.Although the expected duel between Carter and Meng Xu did not appear, but because Meng Xu participated in this year's slam dunk contest, people are more looking forward to this year's slam dunk contest than last year.Under the new rules, only four players participated in this year's slam dunk contest, namely defending champion Mason, rookie Jason Richardson, Steve Francis, who participated in the dunk contest for the second time, and Meng Xu.

The first round of this year's slam dunk contest will be drawn by lottery, and the four participating players will face off in pairs. The winner will enter the final, and then the final champion will be determined.In the first round of draws, defending champion Mason and Jason Richardson were grouped together, while Meng Xu was grouped with Steve Francis.This year's judges are Julius Owen, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, "Potato" Webber, and Patrick Ewing.

"It's finally about to start. As long as Meng brings the classic dunks he completed in the game here, he will definitely beat Mason and the others and win this year's dunk contest championship." The audience discussing Meng Xu's record-breaking defending 3-point contest champion immediately focused on the upcoming slam dunk contest. For many audiences, the slam dunk contest is even more important than the All-Star Game .Since entering the league, Meng Xu has been fond of dunks. In addition, Meng Xu has an elegant style of play and likes to copy those classic dunks. Therefore, Meng Xu's fans are also looking forward to Meng Xu's ability to be on the stage of the dunk contest and compete with Vince Carter. Compete, but unfortunately, Meng Xu came, but Carter did not come.

"There are only two kinds of dunks in this world, one is Vince Carter, and the other is others." Since Carter's performance against the sky in the 2000 All-Star Game, the name of UFO has resounded throughout the basketball world, and Carter's dunk is also It is considered unique and unmatched. Although Carter did not participate in this year's dunk contest, in the hearts of Carter's fans, only Carter's dunk can be called a dunk.

"Hmph, that's because Carter didn't meet Meng Xu, otherwise Carter wouldn't have won the championship at all."

"Asshole, are you saying it again? Believe it or not, I let you go out sideways."

When the stands were full of hustle and bustle, the four players who participated in this year's slam dunk contest had already stepped onto the court at the same time. The first to start was the duel between defending champion Mason and Jason Richardson.When Jason Richardson was in the NCAA, he was a very famous dunk player. He was known as the ncaa dunk No.1 after Carter. Therefore, in his first season in the NBA, Jason Richardson signed up for the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest , hoping to replicate Vince Carter's miracle and become famous on this stage.

Jason Richardson's bounce and strength are almost as good as Carter's, but compared with Carter, Jason Richardson lacks a little bit of beauty. The first Jason Richardson to play, in his first move, He resorted to one of his best slam dunk moves, dribbling the ball from the left 3-point line at a 45-degree angle and rushing towards the basket Jason Richardson, when he was about to step into the paint area, he smashed the basketball in his hand to the basket. On the floor, at the same time, he took a step forward and jumped up. After receiving the basketball in the air, Jason Richardson turned sideways to the basket, first made a railing movement, and then reversed and dunked the basketball hard. Into the basket.

When Jason Richardson's first dunk was successfully completed, the fans on the scene burst into cheers. If Jason Richardson's figure in the air can be more elegant and stretched, Then Jason Richardson's dunk is definitely a perfect dunk.Just after landing, Jason Richardson waved his arms towards the audience to celebrate, and the judges’ scores came out. Julius Owen scored 9 points, Dominic Wilkins scored 9 points, and the rest Michael Jordan, "Potato" Webber, and Patrick Ewing all gave 10 points, and Jason Richardson scored 48 points in the first action.

After Jason Richardson scored a high score of 48 points in the first move, the defending champion who played later, obviously Alexander, may be in order to defeat Jason Richardson. Mason's first move was the crotch when he won the championship last year A change of hands dunk, and this action Mason completed today is better than last year, but Mason only scored 45 points, which is the same as last year's score. After the first action is completed, Mason is 3 points behind Jason Richardson. Looking at the judges' scores, Mason, who had already retreated to the sidelines, looked helpless.

"48 points, another 48 points, Richardson scored 96 points in the first round, and Mason is over." When Jason Richardson, who played again, perfectly completed a mid-air swivel dunk, watching The scoring boards raised by the judges made the entire First League Center Arena go crazy. The two actions scored 96 points. Even Vince Carter, the champion of the 9900 Slam Dunk Contest, did not get such a high score.Then the defending champion Mason, who played without hope of advancing, still tried his best to complete a dunk in the air with a sideways pull and two-handed windmill. Although Mason also scored 47 points in this action, it was of no avail.

After the duel between Mason and Jason Richardson ended, the duel between Steve Francis and Meng Xu began. Francis, who played first, glanced at Meng Xu, took the basketball and walked to the middle circle.At this moment, Francis is full of fighting spirit and desire for revenge. Although he is a rookie in the same class as Meng Xu, Francis is ranked second, while Meng Xu is the last in the first round. The status of the two can be said to be cloud mud However, for two consecutive seasons, in the duel between the Spurs and the Rockets, Francis was ruthlessly ravaged by Meng Xu. Francis, who has always regarded himself very high, also regarded this as the biggest shame in his basketball career. For this reason, Francis almost gave up. All the holidays, I kept sweating on the training ground, so that one day I could get rid of my shame, and today is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

Francis slapped the basketball and started to accelerate from the middle circle. After crossing the free throw line all the way, Francis took off directly at a place more than one meter below the free throw line. First, he ran the basketball in his hand to the backboard, and then received the rebounded basketball , Francis completed the crotch change in the air, and when Francis had already started to fall, Francis, who had completed the crotch change, dunked the basketball into the basket with one hand, and the whole movement was done in one go.

When Francis completed this action, the entire first league center fell into madness. This is definitely the most perfect dunk in recent years. If Francis could have the performance he has today when he participated in the dunk contest for the first time, So whether the slam dunk contest champion of that year belonged to Carter is a question mark.Then the five judges on the sidelines, except Julius Owen who gave 5 points, all raised their 9-point scoring boards, the First League Center fell into a frenzy, and almost all the fans on the field stood up. Shout out to Francis for this near-perfect dunk.

"Is Steve protesting against Meng?" After landing, Francis first glanced at the judges' seats on the sidelines, then stopped a few meters away from Meng Xu, and stretched out his right hand to point Sky, and then stared at Meng Xu. For Francis, if he can defeat Meng Xu today and win the slam dunk contest by stepping on Meng Xu, then the haze that has been hanging over Francis' heart for the past two years will definitely disappear. Not a lot.

"Boss, come on." Just as Meng Xu and Francis made eye contact, Jamal Tinsley and Jermaine O'Neal on the sidelines began to yell loudly at the court, trying to suppress Francis' arrogance. momentum.

Although Meng Xu was also very upset about Francis' provocation, but he was not happy. Meng Xu did not become unbalanced or out of control because of Francis' provocation, because Meng Xu knew that no matter how fierce Francis' provocation was, as long as he defeated If you leave him, then the only one who will lose face will be himself.

"Steve's first dunk was perfect. I don't know what kind of dunk action Meng will use." Looking at Meng Xu who was already standing near the middle circle, Michael Jordan, who was on the judges' bench, was very impressed with Meng Xu's first dunk. It is also very much looking forward to.

"Wait, Mr. Referee, let me take off my coat first." Just as the referee was about to hand the basketball to Meng Xu, Meng Xu waved his hand first, then took off his coat, and walked towards the court. By the way, Meng Xu has been wearing his jacket since he came out in today's All-Star game, and he didn't take it off during the All-Star 3-point contest.After Meng Xu took off his coat, he revealed a special jersey. On Meng Xu's chest, there was a pattern of a knight in golden armor holding a spear with one hand. On the back of the jersey was Meng Xu's jersey number.

After Meng Xu took off his jacket, the focus of the audience was on Meng Xu's jersey. On the giant screen in the First League Center Arena, the close-up of Meng Xu's jersey lasted for a full 10 seconds.The reason why Meng Xu will wear this jersey today is entirely the arrangement of Nike. In order to help Meng Xu build momentum, Nike has also taken great pains. First, it launched exclusive signature sneakers for Meng Xu, and then launched a special commemorative jersey. There are only 10000 pieces in the world, which can be said to be a long way to go. If Meng Xu can wear this jersey to win the slam dunk contest, then the special jersey of the "Odin" series will definitely become more popular.

"Odin, Odin..." Meng Xu's fans quickly recognized the jersey Meng Xu was wearing today. The jersey on Meng Xu was worn by Nike during the Spring Festival this year. The special commemorative edition of the "Odin Series" launched is said to be only 10000 pieces in the world.

"Today, I will show you what a real slam dunk is." Amidst the cheers of the audience, Meng Xu took over the basketball from the referee.

"Does Meng need to jump from the free throw line in his first move?" Almost like Francis, Meng Xu also started to accelerate near the middle circle. Just when Meng Xu passed the free throw line with one foot, Meng Xu grabbed the basketball with his right hand Jumped up. After seeing Meng Xu's actions, Jordan who was sitting on the sidelines really frowned. He took off from the free throw line and dunked, which is a dunk action that often appears in slam dunk contests. After scoring 49 points, Meng Xu will never be able to defeat Francis with such a dunk action. What's more, Meng Xu's dunk is not a free throw line. .

"Idiot, do you think you can defeat me with such an action? It's just wishful thinking." Looking at the back of Meng Xu who had already left the ground, Francis had a smile on his face. This smile was a mockery and a longing for the upcoming victory , but after only a moment, the smile on Francis' face froze.

"Is it a slam dunk in the air from the free throw line?" Dominique Wilkins, who was on the judge's seat, saw Meng Xu who was starting to move in the air, and immediately stood up. Stepping forward, the left hand holding the ball stretched directly to the crotch, and the right hand grabbed the basketball and raised it high. Meng Xu, who was in a declining state, dunked the basketball into the basket with a backhand.

"Take off from the free-throw line, switch hands, and flip back!" After Meng Xu's dunk was completed, Julius Owen looked at Meng Xu who rushed into the auditorium due to the huge inertia, and then pressed his hands tremblingly. He stopped at the rostrum and stood up.

"It's so, so, so, it's so exciting, guys, I almost passed out just now, and someone can complete such a difficult movement." Amidst the exclamation, Tudou Webb immediately raised his hand. After scoring 10 points, he yelled incoherently.

The audience at the scene forgot to cheer after Meng Xu's dunk. Everyone was staring at the center of the court, watching the full replay of Meng Xu's dunk on the big screen just now, for fear of missing any moment .

Not to mention the audience at the scene, even Mason and Jason Richardson, who participated in this slam dunk contest, looked at Meng Xu who had climbed up from the auditorium with disbelief.After a short period of silence, the audience who had come to their senses went crazy in an instant. The five judges on the sidelines all gave Meng Xu 5 points. The only full-score slam dunk in the slam dunk contest. You must know that Carter is as good as the sky, and none of his four slam dunks scored a full score.

"How is this possible, how is this possible." Now Francis, his heart is bleeding, Meng Xu's dunk action is completely an enhanced version of his previous action, and because Meng Xu's movements are elegant and his body is stretched. Because of this, Meng Xu's dunk brought an unparalleled visual impact to everyone. Francis clenched his fists and roared loudly in his heart: "I won't lose, I will never lose to you."

"I'm already looking forward to the next dunk from Steve and Meng." When Francis held the ball and stood at a 3-degree angle from the right 45-point line, Patrick Ewing, who hadn't spoken much today, finally spoke up. This slam dunk was really exciting. Whether it was Francis or Meng Xu, their slam dunks were very good, but unfortunately, only one of them was destined to advance to the final.

After dribbling the ball a few times on the spot, Francis accelerated his start instantly, and rushed directly towards the basket from a 3-degree angle from the left 45-point line. After taking two steps, Francis slapped the basketball hard, and then directly After jumping up and turning 360 degrees in the air, the basketball that bounced off the ground just appeared above Francis' head, holding the basketball with one hand. In order to avoid hitting the basket with his head, Francis leaned back slightly with his face facing the sky, and then With all his strength, he dunked the basketball in his hand into the basket.

"Throwing the ball and dunking the arm, my God, Steve's jumping height is too high, and his body coordination is really good. He turned more than 500 degrees in the air for the dunk just now. Definitely a perfect dunk move."

Amidst the exclamations, the judges on the sidelines raised their scoring cards. Although Francis's move was very difficult and flawless, it would have been a perfect move in the past, but with After Meng Xu's extremely difficult dunk just now, Julius Irving, Dominique Wilkins, and Michael Jordan all gave Francis 9 points. Even so, Francis scored 47 points for this action, plus Francis scored 49 points in the first round after scoring 96 points in the first action.

After completing all the two moves in the first round, Francis walked directly to the sidelines, but Francis bit his lip as he walked, obviously not satisfied with the score of his dunk just now, even though he got two moves. He scored a high score of 96 points, but Meng Xu got a full score for the first dunk just now, and Meng Xu only needed 47 points for this action to eliminate himself.

"What kind of slam dunk will Meng use this time?" When Meng Xu stood in the middle circle with the ball again, the five judges on the judges' bench had all stood up and looked at Meng Xu with great anticipation. I am eager to know what kind of slam dunk Meng Xu will use to defeat Francis.

After taking two shots of the basketball on the spot, Meng Xu started to accelerate directly from the middle circle. This time, Meng Xu took off a little closer to the basket. Holding the basketball, he began to spin in the air. During the spin, Meng Xu handed over the basketball in his right hand to his left hand. After a full circle and a half, Meng Xu directly dunked the basketball into the hoop with his back middle.

"Turn 540 degrees in the air and change the back of the hand?" Meng Xu, who completed the dunk, had not yet fallen from the air, and the audience burst into cheers like a tsunami. The extremely difficult dunk action, coupled with Meng Xu's chic With an elegant figure, the perfection of Meng Xu's buckle is really incredible.

"50 points! It's another perfect dunk." All the judges at the scene gave Meng Xu a perfect score of 50 points again. Francis had already retreated to the sidelines. Meng Xu was defeated.
