A 720° turn and dunk in the air, a move that only exists among the people but has never appeared in the professional basketball court. However, today, Link allowed fans who are paying attention to professional basketball to witness the wonderful 720° dunk.

Professional players are still very different from amateur players. In terms of dunks, amateur players are more open-minded than professional players. After all, for amateur players, dunks are their biggest plus points. Being good-looking is sometimes more important than winning games.

But professional players are just the opposite. Their goal is to win, so they won't spend too much effort on fancy performances, and they won't risk getting hurt to do some dangerous dunks.

This is why the street dunk contest is more exciting than the NBA's dunk contest.

American streetball legend "Professor" Grayson Boucher once said, "NBA's slam dunk contest is always 3 to 5 years behind street ball, and the best slam dunk contest is always on the street court."

However, today, Link brought some incredible moves to the professional arena. At least this 720° dunk is unprecedented.

Of course, Link won't joke about his body, but even within the safe range, there are still many explosive movements to complete!

As soon as the first round of the game ended, the others instantly became starry-darkening.

Lillard's crotch change, George's jump show, Wall's 360° turn pull-up... Link's dunk made fans lose interest in the first three instantly.

Link walked off the court leisurely. Although he took out a shocking dunk, he seemed to have just warmed up.

"I can't believe that an Asian person can fly so much!" O'Neal sat next to Yao Ming, shaking his head.

"That was definitely not his hardest dunk just now. Shaq, look at it with wide eyes." Yao Ming laughed on the surface, but in fact he also got goose bumps.

Link is enough to make today's dunk contest go down in history!

After watching Link's dunk, George and Lillard actually had no confidence.

There are only a few dunks that everyone has prepared, and it is impossible to temporarily increase the difficulty. The most difficult dunk that George and Lillard have ever prepared is not as difficult as Link's first dunk.

So, Lillard and George are already on the verge of giving up.

Lillard's second round dunk caused almost no trouble at the scene. He threw the ball out and ran to the basket and jumped with his back to the basket, then turned halfway in the air and dunked the ball with one hand.

Although this dunk was successful once, any dunk that is linked to "turning around in the air" will definitely not be favored by fans and judges.

Because Link's 720° turn just now was the limit of the category of turning around and dunking.

As a result, Lillard scored only 42 points in his dunk. After two rounds, Lillard only had 82 points in total, basically missed the finals.

After finishing the dunk, Lillard shook his head and walked off the court. He was abused by Link and the Grizzlies in the regular season. Unexpectedly, in the dunk contest, Link still defeated himself with the advantage of crushing.

"You are so cruel, Link, let's see you perform next." After Lillard left the court, he hugged Link gently, and he knew that his dunk contest trip was over.

George felt that he had no intention of doing anything before he went on the court, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to compete with Link. So George's second dunk, turning 360° under his crotch and dunked three times but failed.

According to this year's rules, three failures are equivalent to failure in the performance, and the five judges will only give a basic score of 6 points.

In this way, George and Lillard have basically decided to end. Next, it depends on whether Wall and Link will fail.

Wall is different from the previous two people, and he doesn't want to give up yet!

Maybe 720 is the hardest one of the dunks that Link prepares? Wall really wants to win. He doesn’t want people to mention the 2010 players, but they are always ranked behind the draft!

This time, Wall also made a harsh move. He found O'Neal, who was a judge, to partner with him, which was a gimmick.

O'Neal actually had rehearsals with Wall before, and he knew what Wall wanted to do.

But all this is unknown to the fans, so everyone is extremely looking forward to it.

Wall asked O'Neal to stand one step away from the basket, and then cheers immediately broke out on the scene.

Wall is going to fly over the "shark!"

To be honest, flying over the star to complete a dunk is not a new move. But firstly, the height of "Big Shark" of 2.16 meters is not a height that can be easily crossed. Secondly, his historical status has reached this point, and not everyone has the face to cross him.

But O'Neal has always been an entertaining player, so he doesn't care about being crossed by his juniors.

These two points made Wall's overturn dunk catch up with his eye.

Seeing Wall use this move, Link knew that the No. 1 pick was serious today.

In the end, Wall took the ball from outside the three-point line to run, and flew over O'Neal's head to complete a one-handed dunk!

The visual effect of this ball was very shocking. Wall, a defender, flew over O'Neal, as if a bird had flew over a mountain.

After Wall's dunk, O'Neal also clasped his fists at him. I have to say that this dunk contest is full of oriental elements.

In the end, O'Neal, Yao Ming and Julius Irving all gave Wall 10 points. Only Wilkins and Jordan did not buy it, one was 9 points and the other was only 8 points.

Although Wall's leap of O'Neal was shocked, in fact, O'Neal bowed his head slightly when Wall jumped, and invisibly lowered the height. Moreover, Wall's left hand gently supported O'Neal's back.

Therefore, this is not strictly considered a direct flight.

But even so, 47 points is definitely a high score. After Wall's dunk, the lights on the scene dimmed again, and the spotlight shone on Link.

It's time for him to take the call!

"Wal is not going to give up after Link completed that incredible 720° dunk! He responded with a beautiful flyby, and now, let's see what Link will do!"

Mike Bryn's palms were full of sweat. He hadn't been so excited about the dunk contest for many years.

A classic game requires a great opponent in addition to a great player. Just like the 1988 slam dunk contest, the reason why that game became a classic was that in addition to Jordan's amazing performance, Dominic Wilkins's setback was enough to become great.

Today, Link met a serious opponent like Wall. Their teaming up is enough to turn this dunk contest into another classic!

While applauding Wall, Link waved at his teammate Randolph on the sidelines.

In previous All-Star weekends, if Randolph had no match mission, he would rather take a few days off in Memphis.

But this year, in order to watch Link's dunk contest, he also came to New Orleans. In addition to Randolph, Gasol, Tony Allen and Iguodala all arrived at the scene.

"Does Link want to give Wall a dunk that fly over the star? But Randolph is not as tall as O'Neal." Mike Brynn curled his lips. Things may not be that simple.

Randolph was a little confused because he had never rehearsed with Link before. He never expected that he would be called up by Link.

However, Link was full of confidence. Although he had not practiced with Randolph, he had practiced with Kilganon on the stool countless times. The height of Kilganon on the stool was almost the same as Randolph.

Therefore, Link is not afraid!

"You stand here, hold the basketball on your head with both hands, and you're done." Link directed Randolph to stand on the right side of the basket, and then he was ready to retreat to the bottom corner on the right.

"At least you have to tell me what you are doing, right? I'm so nervous!" Randolph felt his bladder full.

"You will know later, remember, don't move around, Zach."

After saying that, Link retreated to the bottom and began to run up with everyone's expectant eyes.

Link ran to Randolph and jumped hard, like a helicopter, and flew straight over Randolph's head! Although Randolph was not as tall as O'Neal, Link's movements over the player were much cleaner than Wall.

In the air, Link got the basketball held up by Randolph, then half turned around and his back to the basket, and his hands were buckled!

Just like this, this action was already very exciting. After flying over the man, he still had to get the ball in the air, but he still turned around and was still a back button. But after Link finished the dunk, people found that both arms were inserted directly into the basket!

One back buttoned with both hands hanging on his arms, another action that has never been done in history in the NBA slam dunk competition was born!

In the past, any player who paid tribute to Carter's dunk would definitely get high scores. Today, Link played the arm to a new level.

From now on, the spokesperson for dunking arm will no longer be Vince Carter, and UFO has encountered a more flying UFO.

Indeed, Randolph is not as tall as O'Neal. But apart from this, Link's dunk is almost more exciting than Wall's just now!

After reading this dunk, Yao Ming and O'Neal sat on the bench directly. Jordan kept shaking his head, knowing that the dunk contest was over. The picky "old hooligan" raised the sign with full marks again.

In the end, Link scored another full score of 50 points and entered the finals with two rounds of full scores!

Wall's confidence was hit a little at this time. He didn't know how many things that Link had to do that guy had never done before!

Seeing Lillard and George being eliminated by regret, Bill Simmons began to get nervous. His debut in black dress may have to be explained here.

After the dunk contest entered the finals, almost all the fans cheered for Link. After the first dunk in the finals of both sides, Wall was already 5 points behind.

So Wall took out a very exciting last dunk, and it was also his killer move. After flying over the mascot standing on the side of the basket, Wall glided to the other side of the basket and completed a dunk on his back.

James felt sorry for Wall. With Wall's performance today, he would definitely win the championship in any slam dunk contest.

Unfortunately, Wall met Link today. With Link here, any dunk from Wall could not arouse any emotions in people's hearts.

When Link came out to perform his last dunk, nearly 20,000 fans in the game were calling Link's name.

Mike Brin exclaimed, "This kind of scene is unprecedented in the slam dunk contest!"

Having said that, everything Link did today was unprecedented.

With the last dunk, Link decided to challenge a difficult move. As Kilganon said, Link wanted to kill his opponent easily, and what he really wanted to do was to surpass himself.

He is not here to win the championship, he is here to be the gods!

Link's last dunk still had no fancy performances and props, as he said before, he made the dunk contest return to the dunk itself.

Kevin Durant was quietly turning on the TV in the hotel at this time, clenching his fists.

Originally, he said he would not watch Link's dunk contest to death, but no one could escape the law of being so fragrant.

Durant now feels both ashamed and exciting.

After preparing for a while, Link exhaled and started running!

Jordan felt that his heart had stopped suddenly. Every time Link assisted, you could not imagine what would happen in the next second.

Kilganon also stood up, Link was preparing... The air-turning body threw itself behind him!

Link jumped high under the basket and began to turn around in the air. When his body turned to his back to the basket, Link held the ball in the air with his right hand around and threw the basketball vertically from behind.

After Link turned half a circle in the air, he turned into a face frame. After completing the 360° turn, the basketball that he had just thrown up just rose to the top of his head. So Link stretched out his right hand and pressed the basketball into the frame!
