Standing pretty old

Chapter 750
Dallas, home of the Mavericks at the American Airlines Center.

The arena with nearly 2 people was packed. Even though tomorrow's All-Star game will be moved to Arlington, Dallas fans still gave their greatest enthusiasm to the All-Star weekend.

When the slam dunk contest begins, a series of visits is naturally indispensable.

The live commentators first introduced the contestants: DeMar DeRozan (Raptors), Shannon Brown (Lakers), Nate Robinson (Knicks), Ruan Erniu (Eagle).

When the camera cuts to the contestants, it shows two completely different expressions:

DeRozan and Brown were a little tense, but Little Tudou and Er Niu were the opposite. They seemed quite relaxed, and they even had time to joke with each other.

As the champion of the last slam dunk contest, Er Niu naturally had to be interviewed before the game.

Cheryl Miller walked up to the Celestials, and first talked about last year's stalk in a teasing tone: "Do you need me to call Reggie for an interview? After all, you are all UCLA party."

Er Niu replied: "No! I think it would be a good choice for a USC to interview the winner."

Remember, the competition between the UCLA party and the USC party runs through life!

Cheryl smiled and said, "So, you have already booked tonight's slam dunk contest champion?"

Er Niu said with a face of course: "Of course it's me! Do you have other options?"

Sister Miller looked at the camera and said: "DeRozan, I think the juniors from USC are also very competitive!"

Er Niu didn't mean to continue to fight, but just smiled and said: "Then let us wait and see!"

Of course, the above conversations were not seen by the Celestial Dynasty fans.

In this era when there is no live broadcast on the Internet and you can only watch the game by squatting on TV, all Tianchao fans can get is the information of Yang Yi and Da Xu Kan Dashan in the live broadcast hall of Chaoting TV.

Fortunately, as soon as the camera turned, the TV signal at the game site finally switched over.

The camera first came to the referee's seat, and the five scoring judges tonight are: Mark O'Gour, Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, Dominique Wilkins, and Spotter Weber.

Especially the latter two referees can basically represent the league's prediction for the final match.

One is the former Eagle King, and the other is an old potato. I am afraid it is self-evident who the representative is.

But a game is a game, no matter how good the plan is, it can't keep up with the changes. Even if it is a strong side, there will be some places where it doesn't perform well, so the results are often unpredictable.

The camera switched again, and Nash, Westbrook, Deron, Kobe and others sat in a row on the bench full of superstars. However, what the live cameras most wanted to find was James. Pity.

However, it is impossible for the on-site cameras to capture all the big-name players. In fact, there are still many basketball superstars present. In addition to active players, Bill Russell also came to the scene.

Of course, in a grand event such as the All-Star Weekend, NBA superstars alone are not enough, and big names such as JAY-Z and Spike Lee on the sidelines also add a lot to the game.

Among them, the biggest name is Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is about to step down as the governor of California next year.

The Terminator's career as a politician is coming to an end, and he is happy to take his beautiful daughter to relax and watch exciting NBA games.

Looking at Schwarzenegger's 7 years in politics, judging from California polls, Schwarzenegger's 7 years can be considered a failure.

The American media also called him a loser when he left office in the future. The important reason is that Schwarzenegger did not solve the problem of California's fiscal deficit.The fact is, not only has it not been resolved, but it has continued to accumulate.

By the time Schwarzenegger leaves office next year, his approval rating has even dropped to 22%.

Of course, the T-800 is not without contributions. He passed laws to tighten California's greenhouse gas emissions. He also signed a series of environmental regulations and proposed several bold plans, including the establishment of a 1000 million-hectare Sierra Nevada. protected areas, and large-scale marine parks.

Facts have proved that there is no way for a good movie star to become a top politician, and a genius like Ronald Reagan is really rare in a hundred years.

Back to the game scene, tonight's game system is roughly the same as last year, and the sponsor is still Sprite.

So the green that made Er Niu feel a little bit awkward appeared again on the big screen and the surround screen in the American Airlines Center.

The first round started soon, and the first player to play was DeMar DeRozan, who graduated from USC.

DeRozan first ran to the free throw line with the basketball in his arms, determined his dunk position, and then returned to his dunk zone, ready to make the first dunk.

Anyway, according to the rules, each player has a 2-minute dunk time. During this time, they can dunk at will, but if consecutive dunks fail, the referee's score will definitely not be too high.

DeRozan, who ran around empty-handed, suddenly changed his mind for some reason. Instead of dunking according to his original plan, he came to the rear of the backboard.

Run-up, take off on one side of the rim, change hands in the air, and dunk with both hands behind your back!
The movements are fairly fluent, but the degree of difficulty can only be regarded as average.

The referees gave the scores separately, but the camera broadcast to Tianchao failed to capture the score cards raised by the referees.

It didn't matter though, as DeRozan quickly returned to the dugout, his score was on the subtitles.

42 points!
Obviously, the big referees are not too satisfied with DeRozan's performance.

The second player to play is Shannon Brown. Although his initials are read together enough, fans who have watched the Lakers game know how terrifying his jumping ability is.

It's no wonder that Kobe and James both supported him to become the new slam dunk contest champion before the game. Judging from the shocking power of Brown's game, he does have super personal ability.

Brown also dribbled near the free throw and tried it. After finding the right position, Shannon Brown chose an extremely long dribbling space.

Erniu on the side was a little flustered after seeing it. Didn't the guy in his heart want to take off and dunk from outside the three-point line?
Don't worry too much, Brown, who dribbled the ball all the way, took off in one step from the free throw line. After leaping high, he turned a 360-degree turn in the air, and then...

"boom!"

Buckle up!
This dunk obviously hit Shannon Brown's self-confidence.

After Brown increased his run-up distance in the second dunk, he did not continue his dunk creativity. Instead, he took a step inside the free throw line, completed a simple aerial change, and then dunked the ball into the basket.

The fans at the scene immediately felt extremely disappointed. Where is the promised dark horse?

Will you be discouraged if you fail once?

37 points!
Shannon Brown's performance was such a disappointment.

At this time, the camera was given to Brown's boss-Kobe Bryant, and the Black Mamba was also slightly disappointed.

In the later slam dunk showdown, Kobe will also help his teammate Shannon Brown to complete the dunk performance. Even though he is determined to withdraw from the All-Star Game, Kobe still participated in this basketball feast in his own way.

The rookie duo completed their slightly poor debut, and now it's the turn of the champions.

Nate Robinson was the first to play, because Er Niu was the champion of last year's slam dunk contest, so the Chinese will definitely play in the finale.
