553. The slam dunk contest begins!
"Good audiences, the All-Star Dunk Competition will begin soon!"
At the Charlotte Spectrum Arena, Tencent Sports’ front commentator Zixing said excitedly.
"The players participating in the competition are ready to play, Dennis Smith from the New York Knicks! He is also one of the most popular players in this competition!"
"John Collins, the Atlanta Hawks power forward, played last night's rookie game and performed well!"
"Next is Thunder young player Hamidu Diallo! This guy has a strong jumping power!"
......
It was Lin Feng's turn, and his appearance received tsunami cheers. Since he decided to participate in the competition, the entire league has been looking forward to tonight.
Zixing obviously increased by one octave, "The King of Los Angeles is on the stage! Gary Smith! Oh my God, he is so popular for the audience! Teacher Su and I heard the deafening cheers on the scene!"
Director Su laughed, "It's so popular! This year's 60th pick is also a strong contender for the best rookie of the year."
Lin Feng ascended to the center of the stage, as if he was his home court, Staples Center.
The feeling was simply not as wonderful as he enjoyed the weekend, starting from the moment he flew to Charlotte.
After making his debut, Lin Feng slapped the other four people. The guy Collins mischievously patted his buttocks, making him feel full of love.
After him, the finale was Miles Bridges, the host Hornets young player. Interestingly, Bridges received far less cheers than Lin Feng.
It's like Lin Feng wearing a Wasp jersey.
This is definitely the highlight of tonight. The big screen on the spot began to play previous years' "winning the championship dunk". When Zach Lavine's free throw line appeared, the whole game was immediately excited!
The 2016 battle between Lavine and Aaron Gordon was hailed as a classic.
Of course, the scene also pays tribute to greatness. Jordan and Wilkins' superstar collision, and in 2000, the Millennium Battle between Carter and McGrady and Francis were all presented on the big screen.
Hart and Kuzma on the sidelines relaxed. Their All-Star Weekend mission was completed and now they fully enjoy the next dunk contest and tomorrow's main game.
"A fact, when you were in the skills competition, neither Gary nor I was betting on you," Hart said with a smile.
Kuzma nodded, "That's normal, we didn't vote for you in the three-point contest."
Hart stretched out his right hand and hit his fist, "The good brother is so tacit understanding."
"Then in the next dunk contest, I bet on Miles Bridges, that guy has been playing the windmill dunk since the seventh grade."
Kuzma and Bridges are both from Flint, Michigan, and played together when they were kids.
While lamenting this guy's outstanding interpersonal relationship, Hart chose John Collins, and they formed a friendship in yesterday's rookie match.
The two of them commented on the other four tacitly, but they didn't hear Gary Smith's name.
Kuzma was afraid that Ursulado would think, so he quickly explained, "This is our way of humor, understandable, right?"
Ursula smiled and after several months of contact, she had a good understanding of this young Lakers.
Kuzma suddenly thought that Ursula's father was the team's small boss, and in a sense Ursula was also his boss.
God, he actually said bad things about her boyfriend in front of his boss? Fortunately, she is just a simple little girl.
While several people were chatting, Collins, who was the first to appear there, had already started to warm up.
Lin Feng sat in the first row of the court and waited. He won the last place in the preliminaries and could enjoy five wonderful dunks before that.
John Collins, the guy's average score soared from 10.5 in the rookie season to 19.5, and his rebounds were close to 10 per game. It took only a year to improve rapidly.
The first player to appear in the game suffered a little loss because the judges deliberately suppressed points.
The five judges tonight are Heat legend Mourning, "Skywalker" David Thompson, former dunk king Brown, and two WNBA stars Candice and Assa.
The lack of the big shark O'Neal made the judges lack a hint of highlight, but the appearance of the two female judges is still very eye-catching.
Collins came on the stage, and he went to the bottom corner on the left, raised his hands to signal that he needed more cheers.
Then the guy used a gliding basket to touch the rebound with his left hand!
Although Collins opened his arms and signaled that the cheers were louder, the audience's recognition of this button was average, and the five judges also gave eight points unanimously.
"This move is difficult, but it does not mean that it can conquer the judges."
Zixing said with regret, "Forty, not high."
Director Su explained, "Yes, forty-fourty is not high, because dunks coming from the bottom corner generally require a reverse dunk to conquer the audience, and the score on the front will definitely not be high."
Collins' first dunk ends, and the next one is Thunder young player Diallo, the bouncer king in college.
Diallo is thin and looks like he is good at bounce. Every muscle in his body is spring.
In fact, judging from his body shape, Gary Smith is not the traditional bouncer, but his legs are very strong and can generate energy to send his body into the air in a very short time.
This is deeply touched by those guys who have been blocked by him, especially Harden, who is good at step-back shooting.
The bearded man was slapped three times while he had already taken two steps back, and Lin Feng was the number one nemesis in his league.
After entering the court, Diallo first sorted out the basket, then walked to the sideline, and threw the ball to his teammates.
At this time, a fashionable man wearing a hat stood up and the audience cheered!
"Westbrook is here! Westbrook! Come on the stage to partner with his little brother!"
Zixing shouted out directly because the atmosphere on the scene was too strong.
Westbrook is very popular everywhere he goes, and his appearance brings the dunk contest to a small climax.
The two were talking on the court, and Diallo walked down the basket with the ball, making final preparations.
Westbrook stood under the basket and smiled. Judging from the scene, he should have passed the ball to his little brother Diallo, and the next move required Diallo to complete it himself.
The competition begins!
Westbrook threw the ball and hit the rebound. Diallo, who rushed into the basket from the bottom corner, grabbed the ball with both hands and set the frame, and the big windmill dunked the ball!
This button obviously received more cheers than before Collins!
Diallo, who finished the dunk, was also domineering, squatting half-squatting on the spot to interact with Westbrook to celebrate.
48 points!
This deduction was two points and got full scores, and he was almost led to the finals.
Lin Feng sat on the ground and witnessed the whole process from a low perspective. It was indeed very beautiful. The guy Diallo's jumping power was amazing and he even made dodging moves in the air.
Lin Feng also got up from the ground and slapped the guy with high-highlights.
Chapter completed!
