Chapter 573: Shocking the first round
The basketball drew a high arc and slowly fell. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmm, why hasn't JR started yet?"
Ruan Erniu was in doubt, the basketball had already made first contact with the floor, flew to the top and began to fall.
It was only at this time that JR Smith started slowly, and the basketball made contact with the ground for the second time, and when it bounced up for the second time, JR hurriedly killed, and then got the basketball with both hands from a place not too high, and after completing a large windmill in the air, he dunked the ball into the basket.
"Oh~!"
The audience gave such an exclamation, although it was a success and a good start for the slam dunk contest, but it was clear that there was nothing special about the difficulty.
It could even be said that JR. Smith was somewhat timid.
He was supposed to complete this dunk when the basketball bounced up for the first time, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it, so he chose a more secure second bounce jump dunk.
8 points, 9 points, 9 points, 9 points, 8 points.
The judges gave their ratings in turn, and in the first round of the preliminaries, JR Smith, who was the first to play, scored 43 points.
Ruan Erniu, who was already sitting on the wooden block seat with the Sprite logo and was about to play, stood up and gave Smith a high-five as a gesture of friendship.
Since Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard both won the slam dunk contest, Erniu was ranked second.
To be honest, there is no dissatisfaction with this ranked second bull, because in his opinion, his first dunk is really likely to collide with others, so it is better to dunk early.
The Great Demon King of the Celestial Empire misjudged the situation, and he looked down on himself!
After Ruan Erniu got the basketball, he was also not very anxious, he adjusted his breathing, and after doing a chest expansion exercise, he also threw the basketball in his hand......
Same action as JR Smith?
If you just look at the beginning, the audience is afraid ......
No, the starting speed and bouncing explosive power of the Celestial Empire are obvious......
"Whoosh!"
After the basketball landed once, it bounced high, and at the same time, Ruan Erniu also flew up, in the air, got the basketball with one hand, and then, stuck in the air, changed hands under the crotch, and split the buckle in the air!
"Oh !!!!"
The audience cheered like a tsunami!
Shock!
Absolutely shocking!
Ruan Erniu was obviously higher than the basket when he jumped for the first time, and after changing hands under the crotch, the top of his head could still be parallel to the basket, you know, this guy is actually 6 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 240 pounds.
For example, can you imagine a muscular guy like Ben Wallace changing hands under his crotch to dunk after being in the air?
Ruan Erniu did it!
The contrast between a very strong body and a smart aerial skill like a defender is too shocking!
Including James, Pierce, D. Wade and others all made exaggerated expressions of fright, even if they were as strong as superstars, they had to be amazed by Ruan Erniu's god-level performance, and the two of them were already jumping and roaring wildly!
O'Neill patted his wife's hand calmly, as if everything in front of him was just a piece of trivial cake, and as for what he thought in his heart?
10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points.
Have any questions?
If there is a problem, there is a cat that is tired!
Ruan Erniu made his second appearance in the first round of the preliminaries and directly completed the round with a score of 50 points.
Even Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard had to stand up and applaud the Celestial Empire, this ball was so awesome!
At the same time, this ball also brought huge pressure to Robinson and Howard, who played later, and Zhuyu was in front, and it was difficult to get a high score in the later dunk.
Cheryl Miller took advantage of the fact that the players were still preparing to interview James on the sidelines and asked him what he thought of the performance of the players on the court.
James had no choice but to compliment Ruan Erniu's magical performance.
The camera suddenly switches to the host, and Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan are once again talking about why James didn't participate in the slam dunk contest.
Well, you must know that the "Chosen One"'s first enemy in history, "His Majesty the Flying Man" - Michael Jordan has two slam dunk contest champions.
IN FACT, THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF MYSTERY, THE REASON IS VERY SIMPLE, AH KING IS COWARDLY IN THIS REGARD, HE IS AFRAID THAT HE WILL BE LAUGHED AT BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE DUNK, THAT'S ALL.
The king is not allowed to fail, at this point, James has always carried the burden, but Ruan Erniu is much calmer!
Nate Robinson was the third to play, and he wasn't idle during the break, and after a flurry of slang and ** to the camera, he walked out onto the court, and he tried to throw it first, trying to get a basic idea of the court and the strength of the rebound of the basketball.
After completing this test toss, Robinson began the official dunk.
This is almost the same way as JR's dunk, throwing the ball, bounce, jumping, and swinging the arm windmill in the air, but this time, Robinson did not wait for the ball to land for the second time, but found the right time, and after the first landing rebound, he flew up to catch the ball and completed the dunk.
9 points, 9 points, 9 points, 9 points, 9 points.
With a total of 45 points, he is temporarily in third place among players who have completed the dunk, which is not enough to ensure that Nate Robinson will make it to the finals.
After appreciating the contrast between Ruan Erniu's extreme strength and skill, Robinson's height buff has been infinitely reduced, no matter how you look at it, the slam dunk contest is a combination of strength and beauty.
Little Potato's heart was cold, he also prepared a green "Krypton" jersey, sneakers and basketball in the finals, all of which were specially used to make Howard compete for the championship, so if he continued to do so, he might not even have the opportunity to perform.
John Howard was the last player to play, and as the favourite in this year's slam dunk contest, he is now also tasked with defending Millican's honor.
Because the performance of the Celestial Empire people today is too good, after watching his performance, the dunks of other players in the United States have indeed become not worth mentioning.
Howard stood behind the hoop with the basketball, and he first tried to throw it once to determine the bounce of the ball and the starting position.
Throwing the ball from behind the hoop over the top edge of the rebound, then speeding up, catching the ball in the air and finishing the sideways, and then dunking the basketball into the basket is undoubtedly a creative dunk pattern, and timing is important.
Will he do it?
Throwing, starting, rebounding, jumping......
"Bang!"
The basketball smashes out of the basket, and Howard's first dunk fails!
But it doesn't matter, according to the rules, as long as he completes this dunk within 2 minutes, he can still get a high score.
Then, for the second time......
"Bang!"
Once again, the basket rejected Spark's dunk, which was indeed a deceptively simple, but very demanding performance in terms of timing of the dunk.
Spark breathed a long sigh of relief and finally started the third performance.
"Boom!"
Howard finally managed to dunk the ball in.
Well, now the pressure has come to the referee's side, and he failed to finish the game in one go, under normal circumstances, this should definitely deduct points, after all, Ruan Erniu successfully completed the shocking deduction.
But what about Millican's face problem?
This is something that the five referees have to think about secretly.
After some thought, they finally came up with an answer.
10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points.
It is also 50 points, so in the first round of the matchup that has just ended, Ruan Erniu and Howard are both 50 points, and they are currently the most promising players to advance to the finals.
However, the fourth 10-point lifter, Cedric Cebarros, who advertised the folding phone before the game, was an interesting sign.
He held up two signs, the number "8" and the "10" that was being lifted, which according to mathematical theory was "∞10", that is, infinitely close to 10.
It's a fun score, but it doesn't affect the final result.
At the end of the first round, the current ranking is Howard (50 points), Nguyen Er Niu (50 points), Robinson (45 points), and JR Smith (43 points).
