Chapter 705 Black-bellied Panda
The polarization of this three-point competition made fans believe that the league should choose some real shooters to participate in this game, rather than selecting big names to come here to make a fool of themselves. This may be a way for the league to liven up the atmosphere, but if the players participating in the game are really players like Korver and Capono, fans may complain that there are no big-name stars.
People are like this and will never be satisfied.
Next, the final dunk contest tonight was held. The four players participating were all very cruel dunk players in the game, which made fans feel that this dunk contest might be more interesting than last year.
With the two dunk contests that the Animal Brothers participated in, the subsequent dunk contest became boring again, and the league urgently needed new heroes to come forward to save the game.
The players participating in the dunk contest this year include Griffin No. 1 pick Griffin from the Grillions, DeRozan of the Raptors, McGee of the Wizards and Ibaka of the Thunder. But there is no doubt that DeRozan and Ibaka are just supporting roles, and Griffin and McGee are the real protagonists of this competition. Among them, Griffin can be said to have interpreted his violent aesthetic to the extreme. The league has not had such a pure violent insider for several years.
Griffin's first dunk for the preliminaries performed a dunk after turning back 360 degrees for fans, and the second dunk performed a dunk with a big windmill dunk with a separation of human balls. It can be said that Griffin did not show his creativity and uniqueness, but just interpreted his violent aesthetics in the air.
The first dunk turned 360 degrees backwards. Ordinary players could not complete such a move in the air, but Griffin turned around and dunked the ball into the basket with ease. Although the score was not too high, this was enough to allow Griffin to enter the finals.
The second dunk. Griffin hit the ball with the ball and then received the ball directly with his forearm and hung it on the basket. To be honest, it was just repeating Vince Carter's movements back then, but the movements of throwing were more difficult than Carter's back then.
But in the final analysis, this is a perfect reflection of Griffin's physical fitness and does not have much creative elements. If such a dunk is taken into the two competitions between Brother Panda and Brother Fox, facing the threat of Howard and Little Potato, Griffin may end the game with the bottom ranking.
If it comes to creativity, Ibaka's creativity is OK. But the difficulty is not enough. His dunk gimmick overshadowed the difficulty, but instead played a counterproductive role. However, McGee, who ruled the five embarrassing future, unexpectedly combined creativity and difficulty well. Unfortunately, his dunk was too similar to the Panda brother three years ago and the Fox brother two years ago, so he was inevitably labeled as plagiarism and copycat scores, and his creative score was greatly reduced.
The Thunder's Ibaka is the best-looking one. Before dunking, he actually followed a group of beauties carrying big flags behind him. This situation is indeed stronger than other participating players, and it also makes the little fox very happy.
The Spaniard actually has a cheerleader. Ji Guomo secretly told me why he didn't expect this move when he participated in the dunk contest?
Ibaka started running ahead of his cheerleader. Finally, he took off at the free throw line with the ball in one hand and successfully dunked with one hand. However, the dunk posture was not beautiful enough and he even stepped on the line and only scored 45 points.
Espanyol's second dunk was still mainly based on performance creativity. He hung a small animal toy on the basket and performed a dialogue with the little fans. Then he assisted from behind the basket, and bit the little animal with his mouth after dunking. However, after the first success, he announced that he would start over again, as if he felt that the first time was not done well. So Ibaka assisted himself again, first biting the little animal with his mouth, then dunking the ball into the basket with one hand, and then giving the toy to the children.
This dunk was the same problem as his previous first dunk. It was too difficult and it tasted like to use children to gain sympathy points.
The referees were very disrespectful and still only gave him 45 points. This is because of the children's face.
The Raptors' DeRozan is a new second position with outstanding athletic ability. His first move was to catch the ball and pass the ball with his teammates and switch hands and dunks under his crotch after receiving the ball. However, he failed to succeed several times in a row. In the end, he was able to complete the fifth time successfully, but the completion was average, and the referees finally scored only 44 points.
DeRozan scored the bottom of the first dunk, but he could only give a try in the second dunk, and directly took out the action of the bottom of the box. After throwing the ball to the ground, he took the ball with one hand and flew over the basket and turned back to look back at the moon to make a dunk. This extremely difficult dunk caused a lot of exclamations from the fans. All the referees collectively showed off the 10-point brand, and DeRozan scored 50 points.
The Wizards' McGee imitated Panda's brother's first dunk, but unfortunately he didn't blindfold when he dunked, and even if he reduced the difficulty, he failed to succeed several times in a row. In the end, he was running from the side, and only then did he complete the dunk of two baskets with double-point dunks.
McGee only scored 45 points this time. The Black-bellied Panda had performed a more difficult version three years ago. They dunked the ball in blindfolded at the beginning. If you pay tribute to your seniors, you should also blindfold it. However, McGee had experimented countless times in private and found that it would be difficult to succeed even if you don’t blindfolded. If you can’t get it once a hundred times, that’s a big deal.
But then again, if you don’t blind your eyes, the referee and the fans will not buy it. The creativity of this action was directly given zero points by everyone, and it is no less than to get 45 points.
McGee paid tribute to the Fox brother in the second dunk. When he appeared, a group of men in black wearing sunglasses and McGee's mother appeared in a safe and gave McGee a colorful basketball. McGee once again held a basketball in both hands. After completing the double dunk, he had to receive the colored ball from his teammates to complete the third dunk.
This dunk with three consecutive balls was adopted for the first time, and it was more difficult than the previous dunk. After several consecutive failures, McGee finally dunked two basketballs and then dunked the colored balls passed by his teammates. This dunk scored 50 points.
The dunk was a good idea, but fans can still recall the more difficult "dumps at one time" of Brother Fox two years ago. Although McGee dunked one more basketball this time, Brother Fox flew past the 216m (official data) giant pandas. Then he changed hands in the air. Finally, he received a pass from his girlfriend and dunked the second ball. This series of movements was much more difficult than McGeedo dunked one basketball.
The fans' appetite has long been tricked by the two brothers. Many Clippers fans think that watching the current slam dunk competition is more interesting than watching the video of the two-year slam dunk competition. None of these slam dunks can be compared with the dunks in those two slam dunk competitions. Howard even sacrificed the Superman suit, but in the end he couldn't even enter the finals. If these people were replaced, they would be a good match.
In the end, Griffin and McGee entered the finals. One of the two was violence and the other was creativity. Unfortunately, McGee's creativity was interpreted by fans as "reference" and "salute". Many fans simply labeled him as "counterfeiting".
Griffin took the lead in the final. After hitting the basketball, he dunked with one hand in the air, half of his arm was hung into the basket, and his whole body was crossed in the air, causing a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene! But this exclamation was actually a component of special effects. Even if it was a bad dunk, the staff would release this sound effect to set off the atmosphere. The difference was just the size of the sound.
Carter also did this action in the slam dunk contest. However, he dunked directly with one arm on the frame, and Griffin's dunk was more difficult. However, this kind of dunk was not much more enjoyable from TV, it was just showing off its bounce and strength.
McGee changed into two shoes of different colors on the court, threw the basketball along the bottom line, and then moved to the moon with one hand and dunked. The scene seemed quite thrilling. Griffin was shocked and smiled at McGee's slam dunk on the sidelines.
This dunk is more difficult than Griffin's and is more enjoyable. The cheers from the fans on the scene are obviously much louder.
Griffin made his second dunk in the final, and this time he launched a car across the basket, and a choir came out to cheer him up.
Fans knew as soon as they saw the car. This was another dunk imitating the two brothers. The question is, will Griffin blindfold?
The answer was: "Of course not!"
Chris Paul stood in the car and completed the pass from the skylight. Griffin flew across the front half of the car with a choir cheer. After receiving the pass from the queen bee, he dunked his hands completely. He completely avoided the car. The dunk process was very ornamental.
But... the fans are not too interested, because this slam dunk Panda brother has also done it!
Ji Guoqiu flew over the car with his eyes blindfolded that time, but you opened your eyes, how can you compare?
The scene shot really gave Ji Guoqiu another, and the black-bellied panda shook his head in a very good manner, showing a regretful expression.
The reporters were immediately excited that they had something to write tomorrow.
Of course, Ji Guoqiu, a dark-hearted guy, knew that there would definitely be a camera for him at this time, so he took this opportunity to secretly sneer Griffin.
He could already think of how the media would compare him with Griffin tomorrow. This is too cruel for a new star. However, he would not have the slightest sympathy for the other party. If Griffin had a shadow on him from the media, he would have lost a potential opponent, so this is definitely not a matter of harming others and not benefiting oneself.
If Kobe hadn't had a strong heart that could not be beaten to death and was not afraid of scolding, he would have been defeated by the media's endless comparison between him and Jordan.
The strongest praise in the sports world is to compare you with those real legendary superstars. Generally, few geniuses who get the title of successor will end up having a good end. And those geniuses who have successfully survived will not become anyone’s successors in the end. They all become new legends, and then the media will use them as the touchstone for the current group of geniuses.
Nowadays, some young geniuses have begun to be named Panda Second Generation and Fox Second Generation, but I think most of them will quietly become a meteor by.
McGee changed shoes again in his last slam dunk. This time he held the ball in one hand in the air, and then turned 360 degrees and made a dunk.
However, McGee was not satisfied with this, thinking that this dunk could not defeat Griffin. Then he chose to smash the ball from outside the three-point line to the rebound and then run. When his body flew out, he caught the ball with one hand and hit the dunk. This action was also very difficult.
McGee's two dunks received a lot of applause and cheers from fans. This guy was used by some media as his template by the Fox brother. However, this comparison is ridiculous in the eyes of Fox Mi. If we look at physical fitness alone, the two have some similarities, but technically, it is a distance that cannot be matched.
The competition between Griffin and McGee is better in terms of creativity and difficulty, which can be seen from the real applause and cheers of the fans on the scene. However, we have to look at the rules of the game. Starting from the Dunk Contest in Ji Guomeng, the final of the Dunk Contest began to use the method of fan voting to determine the outcome.
What will happen?
Of course, famous stars have a greater chance of winning. Even if their dunks are not as good as their opponents, the fans have the final say, and most fans are irrational. Otherwise, Yi Jianlian would not have almost become the All-Star every year.
Of course there is no problem for fans. Since the league gives fans the right to vote, then whoever they vote for is the final say.
So this is not the fans’ fault, it is the system’s fault.
The final result was as expected. With McGee's disappointment, Griffin won the championship of this dunk contest with an overwhelming vote of 68%, and ended the All-Star's second-day performance.
In an interview with the media after the game, Ji Guomeng said: "I am not surprised by Griffin's victory. In today's NBA, there are fewer and fewer players in this purely violent style. I have used to watching my performance with the giant panda. Looking at Griffin, I think fans will definitely get a completely different enjoyment." Then he changed his tone and said in the unsurprising eyes of the reporters: "But... I still think the champion should be McGee. If I were a judge, then this would be the result. Unfortunately, everyone obviously doesn't think so."
After the reporters interviewed the dead fox, they were both excited and depressed. There seemed to be too many explosive points today, and they didn’t know where to focus on reporting tomorrow. It’s such a happy worry!
The Panda brother on the other side is getting darker and darker now. He stabbed the knife in the back. The victims and onlookers didn't know where the knife came from, and it didn't matter how hatred it was like a dead fox.
"Where do you think Blake won today?" A reporter interviewed Brother Panda after the game.
