Chapter 236 Slam Dunk Contest
Zach LaVine was the last dunk king and naturally attracted the highest attention.Not only the media, but even the players who came to the scene are full of expectations for him.
In this slam dunk contest, two players who did not sign up to participate were frequently mentioned a few days ago. One is LeBron James, who is called the Chosen Son, and the other is Xu Tian, who is called the Almighty.
The NBA is called the big XX, and most of them are tall inside players, such as O'Neal's big diesel engine, Garnett's big ticket, and Duncan's big basic skills.Xu Tian's ability to win the title of Almighty is entirely due to Charles Barkley.
Sir Ba's commentary lines were frequently quoted by American media, which made Xu Tian's first official positive title accepted by fans, thus becoming his nickname.
James can take off from the free throw line, which can be seen from various dynamic pictures or videos, but he does not think he is a skilled dunker, and has never participated in a dunk contest in his career.
Xu Tian's dunk aesthetic is even better, but he can't complete Carter's crisp dunk action, and his jumping ability is not among the top ranks, so he dare not participate in this competition.
James, Wade, Paul, and Anthony all came to the scene, sat in adjacent seats, and happily talked about interesting things that might happen in this game.However, several people agree that no one can threaten Zach LaVine's dunk king.
Aaron Gordon is a power forward for the Magic. He participated in the same draft as Zach LaVine and was the fourth overall pick.In addition to these two, the other two players are Pistons star Andre Drummond and Nuggets guard Will Barton.
The star is always the finale.
The first to attempt a dunk was Will Barton, who had the smallest coffee position.He devised a crotch switch dunk, but didn't complete it until his second try.
The five judges gave their judgments immediately, and Will Barton scored 40 points for the first deduction.
Aaron Gordon was second.
Magic guard Elfrid Payton steps onto the court to tie in with Aaron Gordon.
In the slam dunk contest, there are dunks completed by a single person, dunks completed by Feiyue people, and naturally there are dunks completed by a team.
Aaron Gordon vowed to compete for the championship of this event. The first move he prepared was very explosive, catching the ball and changing hands for a dunk.
Elfrid Payton held the ball in both hands, communicated good timing with Aaron Gordon, smashed the ball with both hands, and let the basketball bounce freely into the air.
Aaron Gordon accelerated from outside the three-point line, rushed to the front of the basketball, exerted force with both feet at the same time, took off like a booster, and caught the slowly falling basketball with both hands.
Crotch, change hands, flat frame dunk.The three actions are done in one go, with just the right coherence and aesthetics.
Five judges raised their cards at the same time, all with 10 points, and the total score is 50 points.
Black people are relatively lively and good at expressing certain emotions with exaggerated body movements or expressions.As soon as Aaron Gordon's dunk was completed, it immediately aroused the collective reaction of the players on the sidelines, expressing their admiration for the dunk in their customary way.
The big screen at the scene began to slow down Aaron Gordon's dunk action, so that the audience who didn't know what happened at the scene could more intuitively appreciate the power of this dunk.
The camera was given to Zach LaVine.
Zach LaVine is like the strongest master in the martial arts. Even when he sees the exquisite martial arts moves, he still has a relaxed expression and doesn't care at all.
Andre Drummond came in third.He also chose a two-man dunk, with Pistons teammate Reggie Jackson helping him pass the ball.
The cooperation between Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond is also perfect, but Aaron Gordon's dunk came first, which made Andre Drummond not shocking enough.For the first dunk, he scored 45 points.
Zach LaVine is here!
A burst of cheers erupted in the Air Canada Center arena.
Zach LaVine didn't find the cooperation of his teammates, took the basketball to the midfield, and began to dribble with a calm expression.
The players on the sidelines hadn't seen the dunk yet, but they all stood up spontaneously, ready to start celebrating quickly.
Zach LaVine completed a dunk from the free throw line.His movements are elegant and agile, and his finishing movements are crisp and neat.
The five judges shook their heads and gave the second perfect score for this competition.
Will Barton had the lowest score in the first dunk, and he had the greatest psychological pressure. He was unable to stabilize his mentality, and his two dunk attempts ended in failure.
The judges gave sympathy points, making Will Barton get 30 points.
Aaron Gordon won the recognition of the fans with the first dunk, and when he played again, he received cheers no less than Zach LaVine.
Three fans walked into the field and stood in a row at Aaron Gordon's request. The tall, thin fan at the end held the basketball and raised it above his head.
Aaron Gordon's intentions were clear, to leap for a three-man dunk.Although the move is very common, it is enough to make people look forward to.
Xu Tian was not as excited as Kobe and George next to him. He put his arms around his chest and waited for Aaron Gordon's second dunk.
Aaron Gordon took off again with his spring legs, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and leaped perfectly over the three standing vertically, completing a powerful dunk with both hands.
The judges at the back of the judges' table were full of admiration for this dunk, couldn't hold back their excitement, and couldn't wait to raise the 10-point sign.
Andre Drummond originally wanted to make it to the finals, but now seeing Aaron Gordon's strong performance, he had no choice but to give up such thoughts, decided to let go, and completed two wonderful dunks.
There are not many inside players who can dunk well. For a stage like the slam dunk contest, their tall stature is a natural disadvantage.
Andre Drummond's small windmill dunk was beautiful enough, but he was sandwiched between the two dunk masters, and again scored a moderate 45 points.
Zach LaVine realized the threat Aaron Gordon posed to him, his expression was still relaxed, and he started dribbling before the free throw line.
Both the fans and the players who came to watch the game are looking forward to how Zach LaVine will complete the dunk.
Zach LaVine's hands are not big enough, the right hand and wrist control the ball, and the 360-degree windmill dunks-replicating Carter's move in the 2000 dunk contest.
Carter's dunk aesthetic is unique. Although Zach LaVine can't match it, he dunks another beauty.
The judges also began to look forward to the duel between Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon, and they all gave 10 points without any pause.
Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon had two dunks, both perfect.
Will Barton lost his psychological pressure for the third dunk, and cooperated with his teammate Jokic to successfully complete the crotch dunk after catching the ball.Although the amazing team scored 48 points, they basically missed the final.
Aaron Gordon got even louder cheers.
Zach LaVine stood on the sidelines, watching his potential opponent carefully to see what he was going to do on the third dunk.
