Dallas City, the Mavericks' home arena American Airlines Center.

With nearly 20,000 people filling the stadium, Dallas fans gave their best enthusiasm for All-Star Weekend, even though tomorrow's All-Star Game is moving to Arlington.

At the beginning of the slam dunk contest, a series of visits are indispensable.

The on-site commentators first introduced the contestants: DeMar DeRozan (Raptors), Shannon Brown (Lakers), Nate Robinson (Knicks), Nguyen Erniu (Hawks).

When the camera cuts to the contestants, two completely different expressions are shown:

DeRozan and Brown's expressions jumped a little tightly, but Little Potato and Erniu were the opposite, looking quite relaxed, and the two even had time to joke with each other.

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

Cheryl Miller walked up to the Celestial Empire and spoke in a mocking tone about last year's meme: "Do you need me to call Reggie for an interview? ”

Erniu replied, "No, I think it's a good choice to have a USC interview the winner." ”

Remember, the UCLA Party and USC Party rivalry is a lifelong affair!

Cheryl smiled, "So, you've booked tonight's slam dunk contest champion?"

Erniu said with a natural face: "Of course it's me!

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

Erniu didn't mean to continue tearing, but just smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see!"

Of course, the above dialogue, Celestial Empire fans have not been able to see.

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

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

The camera first gave the referee's bench, and the five scoring judges tonight were: Mark Ogur, Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, Dominic Wilkins, and Sbot Webb.

In particular, the latter two referees can basically represent the league's prediction of this final matchup.

One is the former Eagle King, the other is an old potato, and it is probably self-evident who the representative figure is.

But a game is a game, and no matter how well the plan is, it can't keep up with the changes, and even if it's a strong side, there will be places where the performance is not right, so the results are often unpredictable.

The camera switched again, and on the superstar-studded players' bench, Nash, Wei Shao, Delon, Kobe Bryant and others sat in a row, but what the live camera wanted to look for most was James, and the Chosen One missed the appointment again, which is indeed full of regrets.

However, it is impossible for the live camera to catch all the big players, in fact, there are many basketball superstars on the scene, in addition to the active ones, Bill Russell also came to the scene.

Of course, at an event like All-Star Weekend, it's not enough to have NBA superstars, but big names like JAY-Z and Spike Lee on the sidelines also add a lot to the game.

Among them, the biggest card next year will step down as California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Terminator's politician career is coming to an end, and he's happy to bring his beautiful daughter to relax and watch the best NBA games.

Looking at Schwarzenegger's seven-year political career, judging from the California polls, Schwarzenegger's seven-year career is a failure.

The U.S. media also called him a failure when he stepped down in the future, and one of the important reasons was that Schwarzenegger did not solve the problem of California's fiscal deficit. The fact is that instead of being solved, it is accumulating.

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

Of course, the T-800 has not been without contribution, as he has passed laws to tighten California's greenhouse gas emissions, signed a series of environmental regulations, and proposed several bold plans, including the creation of a 10-million-hectare Sierra Nevada Conservation Area and a sprawling marine park.

It turns out that a good movie star does not have the means to become a top politician, and a genius like Ronald Reagan is really rare in a century.

Back at the event, tonight's format is much the same as last year's, and the sponsor is still Sprite.

So the green that made Erniu a little awkward reappeared on the big screen and the surrounding field fluorescent screen of the American Airlines Center.

The first round began quickly, and the first to appear was USC graduate DeMar DeRozan.

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 to make the first dunk.

Anyway, according to the rules, each player has 2 minutes of dunk time, and during this time, they can dunk at will, but if the continuous dunk fails, the referee's score will inevitably not be too high.

DeRozan, who had been running for a lap in the air, suddenly changed his mind for some reason, and instead of dunking according to his original plan, he came to the back of the rebound.

Run-up, jump on one side of the basket, change hands in the air, and dunk with both hands behind your back!

The movements are quite fluent, but the difficulty coefficient can only be considered average.

The referees gave the scores separately, but the camera broadcast to the Celestial Empire failed to capture the score cards held up by the judges.

It didn't matter though, as DeRozan soon returned to the lounge area, his score was shown on TV subtitles.

42 points!

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

The second to take the court was Shannon Brown, and although his initials are enough to read river crabs, fans who have watched Lakers games know exactly how terrifying his jumping ability really is.

It's no wonder that Kobe Bryant and James both supported him to become the new champion of the slam dunk contest before the game, judging from the shock given by Brown in the game, he does have super individual ability.

Brown also dribbled to the free throw and tried it, and after roughly finding the right position, Shannon Brown opted for an extremely long dribble space.

After the two bulls on the side saw it, they were a little flustered, and they didn't want to jump off the three-point line to dunk in their hearts, right?

Erniu was overwhelmed, and Brown, who dribbled all the way, jumped one step inside the free throw line, and after jumping high, he made a 360-degree turn in the air, and then ......

"Bang!"

Buckled!

This slam dunk clearly hit Shannon Brown's self-confidence.

Instead of continuing his dunk creativity after the second dunk to increase the run-up distance, Brown took a step inside the free throw line, completed a simple air switch, and then dunked the ball into the basket.

The fans at the scene suddenly felt extremely disappointed, what about the big dark horse?

Buckle once and fail?

37 points!

The performance of Kanon Brown was so disappointing.

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 Bryant will also help his teammate Shannon Brown complete the dunk performance, even if he is determined to withdraw from the All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant still participates in this basketball feast in his own way.

The rookie duo made their slightly worse debut, and now it's the turn of the championship group.

The first to appear is Nate Robinson, because Erniu was the winner of last year's slam dunk contest, so the Celestial Empire will definitely play in the finale.
