It's not surprising that the slam dunk rookie is out of order.

Explore the origins of the Slam Dunk Contest, a contest in itself that brings together the best players in the league in order to attract spectators.

Take a look at the contestants of the inaugural Slam Dunk Contest: Julius Irving (Dr. J), Dominic Wilkins, Larry Nance and many more, who are not only physically gifted, but also leaders on each team.

In other words, physical talent is certainly a prerequisite for participating in the slam dunk contest, but whether the player is big enough is also one of the factors to measure the success of the slam dunk contest.

And more importantly, the big-name players themselves are all players with strong psychological quality and dare to perform on the field.

In the face of world attention, it is not a simple thing to still dare to make movements, and to be able to ensure that the movements are not deformed.

James has been criticized, and it is also related to his lack of responsibility at critical moments, if the key ball is passed in the game, it can also be explained with a reasonable answer, then not participating in the slam dunk contest completely exposes the essence of A KING's psychological quality.

You know, a certain Flyer also staged the embarrassment of scoring only 5 goals in the three-point contest, but did this black spot hinder the greatness of No. 23?

This question doesn't need to be answered at all!

Back in the game, DeRozan and Shannon Brown have the same problem.

They are not big enough in themselves, they are naturally weak psychologically, and their personalities are not flamboyant enough, so they naturally can't show their best side. Maybe any slam dunk performance from their usual practice will surpass the one they just dunked.

This is also the paradox of the slam dunk contest itself, some people have long proposed to recruit slam dunk geniuses from the basketball world outside the NBA to participate in this event, but those who know that those so-called slam dunk masters, who really reach the top All-Star stage, often will not be able to play their own strength for various reasons.

The slam dunk contest is never a simple competition of physical talent, it is more of a confrontation of players' psychological quality.

When it comes to mental quality, arrogant people tend to be better than forward-looking guys, at least the former slam dunk contest champion who is about to play - Nate Robinson is such a type.

Little Potato was sitting on the Sprite cube in the waiting area, but even so, he didn't miss any chance to show himself.

He first grabbed a glass of silver soft-packaged energy drink and drank it all, rubbing his hands together and patting his face vigorously before the referee handed him the ball.

Of course, this can be considered a deliberate move by Robinson to mobilize his emotions, but on the other hand, God knows if he tried so hard to pretend to be because he took advertising money for a functional drink before the game?

Well, it doesn't matter, because he took the ball from the referee and is about to start dunking!

From beyond the three-point shot, he tossed the ball and ran with it, and the basketball landed on the floor and bounced up, and Robinson jumped with it.

"Oh~~"

The audience let out an exclamation, and finally came a slightly difficult dunk, but unfortunately the rebound height of the little potato's first ball was not enough, and finally failed to complete the dunk.

Everyone had 2 minutes to dunk, and Robinson immediately started his second dunk!

The same way!

This time the rebound height of the ball is enough!

caught a basketball in the air and picked up a big windmill with both arms......

"Bang!"

Robinson's timing was still problematic, and the ball didn't end up smashing into the basket.

failed to score the second dunk, and the pressure on the little potato suddenly increased.

At this time, the scene was also specially cut to the guest Spike Lee, and the famous New York director crossed his hands and stopped in front of his mouth, like Ikari Gendo in EVA.

The third buckle!

It's still the same way, Robinson has to fight!

"Whew!"

Bounced, jumped, catched, swung arms, dunked, scored!!

Nate Robinson finally completed his own dunk on his third attempt dunk in the first round.

Spike Lee was relieved and stood up to applaud his team's dunk.

But Nate's score is definitely not high, he failed twice to succeed, it will definitely affect the fluency, not to mention, although this ball is difficult, it is not up to the top standard.

4 9 points, one 8 points, and the five bigwigs gave their own scores.

44 points, compared with the performance of the first two Robinson, it is indeed better, but compared with the previous slam dunk contest, after the first three dunks, the audience's emotions were not fully mobilized.

Now, it's finally Ruan Erniu's turn to be the finale!

Erniu stood up from the Sprite square, stepped forward to high-five Robinson, and then took the basketball and came to the three-point line.

The Celestial Empire took a deep breath, held the ball in one hand, and waved his arms twice at the audience, signaling that the atmosphere was warm.

"Oh !!"

The people of Dallas were also very embarrassed, and there was a huge cheer.

Obviously, at last year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Erniu's shocking performance gave many people huge expectations.

The Celestial Empire also stood outside the three-point line, and his first dunk was also after throwing the basketball, catching the ball and dunking!

The basketball was thrown high, Erniu then started, the basketball rebounded on the ground, Erniu jumped with both feet almost at the same time, caught the ball with one hand in the air, Erniu's head was already higher than the basket!

Change hands in the back!

Arm snap!

"Boom!"

The ball is in!

All at once!

And it's the most difficult dunk so far!

"It's in!" Da Xu of the 5th set of the imperial court station shouted, and then explained: "This ball is higher than the previous ones in terms of starting height and difficulty.

Erniu is worthy of being born in gymnastics, and with such a large weight, he can actually complete such a stretching action in the air. This kind of balance and coordination is definitely a once-in-a-century ability. ”

Yang Yi on the side also said excitedly: "Now let's take a look at the on-site scoring!"

10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points.

There is no doubt that the full score is 50 points, compared with the repeated deductions of the first three, Erniu is not only impeccable in difficulty, but also too pleasing to the eye in terms of fluency!

The fans at the scene finally let out a loud cheer!

This is the appeal of a superstar, even if Erniu is not a Texas player, his popularity in the whole meter is amazing enough.

It's another year before the trade deadline, and even though the world knows the Hawks can't trade the Bulls, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has signaled a fight for Kraft Nguyen after James Dolan.

"I think Kraft and Dirk are a great match, they can do great things together, and I'm going to pursue Kraft when his rookie contract expires!"

Kuban is talking casually?

Not necessarily, you must know that Cuban is willing to give a big contract, which is originally more famous in the league. Even Dampier can get a contract with the highest salary, let alone Erniu.

Dallas itself is not a small city, and it is worth mentioning that Texas is cheap and has a low tax rate, which is also attractive to NBA players.

However, in the NBA, a commercial league, no one can pack a ticket until the last minute for any trade and signing.

At this moment, Erniu, who completed the first buckle, and the three competitors high-fived one by one, in any case, with this buckle foundation, Erniu has a greater certainty of entering the finals.

According to the rules of the competition, there are two rounds of preliminaries, and after the first round, the second round will be played according to the score, from low to high.

Shannon Brown, who scored only 37 points in the first round, walked to the preparation area with a basketball, and standing next to him was his dunk assistant, Kobe Bryant, who decided to withdraw from this All-Star Game.
