Chapter 305: Dominate the Crowd

Lu Yuan came to the player's tunnel alone, and the security guard at the entrance of the passage did not let him in, and then Musk ran over and led Lu Yuan into the backstage.

This is the locker room of the visiting team in the past NBA games, and in addition to Lu Yuan, there are two other people, a white boy and a black boy, both of whom are challengers in the halfcourt like Lu Yuan.

In this way, the three people made up the three races, and it was very harmonious.

Musk said to the three people: "The first round of knockouts will be held later, and after the knockout rounds are over, before the finals, the host will call you to the court to challenge." The content is very simple, it is to dunk the basket, and whoever dunks high is the champion. Of course, there will be prizes for both the champion and the runner-up. ”

After speaking, Musk gave some explanations and guidance on the details, saw that the time was almost up, and let the three of them play.

The McDonald's All-Star Game is generally a more free and entertaining game, which can be seen from the on-site layout, and tends to be more amateur events.

Therefore, people like Lu Yuan who dunk a basket outside and are seen can be directly pulled in to participate in the challenge, and they don't need any qualifications.

This undoubtedly gave Lu Yuan the opportunity to win the award, he is now gearing up, although the three of them will have rewards, but the reward of the ticket will inevitably only go to the champion.

Lu Yuan observed the other two, the white boy was taller than Lu Yuan, with long hair, and his name was Klin.

The black boy's name was Williams, he was about the same height as Lu Yuan, his two calves looked strong and powerful, and his arms were longer than Lu Yuan's, so it seemed that it would not be easy to beat him.

Stepping onto the court, the first round of the slam dunk contest is over, with five players remaining two after two dunks to advance to the finals.

At this time, several staff members pushed a special basket from the sidelines, the basket was very high, and a ruler was erected next to the basket, showing that the height of the basket was now 11 feet.

The moderator appeared on the stage and introduced the challenge to the audience in a rich voice. In the three-point game before, it was also interspersed with the challenge of midcourt shooting, and the audience still had a lot of enthusiasm for this kind of mass participation activity, especially for such an exciting project as dunking.

Liu Luan and his entourage were all surprised when they saw Lu Yuan standing on the court, and they didn't know how this guy ran to participate in this project.

"This kid is awesome, I can't reach my ordinary basket, can he get that basket?"

Mi Junjie looked at the 11-foot basket and sighed, and the others on the side glanced at him, thinking that just like him, an ordinary basket would be enough for him to jump for a lifetime.

The rules of the challenge are simple, everyone has two chances, the first is 11 feet, and the second is the height of their choice. If the height is the same, the action of the dunk is compared.

The dunk order is carried out by lot, and Lu Yuan is drawn last, which is a good position, and this kind of performance game is often preemptive.

The 11-foot basket dunk was easy for all three, and all three were easy to complete, causing a wave of amazement from the fans at the scene.

Lu Yuan, in particular, as a rare Asian face, when he dunked the ball into the 11-foot basket with a one-arm slam dunk, the audience erupted in warm applause and cheers, and the Chinese students sitting on the east side stood up from their seats and cheered loudly.

In addition to Chinese students on the east side, there are many Asian fans at Oakland Arena today, and Asian American groups have been a very important part of the NBA market since the 80s.

However, in the past decade, after Jeremy Lin, there have been no heavyweight Asian faces, or Chinese faces, on the NBA court.

There were still no Asians in this year's McDonald's High School All-Star Game as usual, and Lu Yuan, a passerby who suddenly appeared, gave a little surprise to the Asian fans at the scene.

The first dunk was completed by all three people, and the next thing was to choose the height, time was limited, everyone only had one chance, and the first one to play was Klin, which was a problem for him.

It's too high, he can't reach it, it's too low, and if he is a little taller, he will be better than him, so the height he chooses must be his own limit height.

As a result, Kling raised the height of the basket to 11 feet 5 inches, about 3.47 meters.

To rhythmic applause from the crowd, Kling leaped high with the ball and then dunked it into the basket very reluctantly. It's a bit reluctant, but it's still quite exciting.

Williams, who was the second to come on the court, immediately adjusted the height to 11 feet 8 inches, which is almost 3.55 meters.

This height is quite terrifying, and for the average player, it is a question of whether he can reach this height by touching the height, let alone dunking.

If you want to dunk it, you must feel at least 3.7 meters high before you can dunk it with one hand. Obviously, for Williams, this difficulty is quite large, and when he boasted about the sea mouth and chose this height, watching the basket rise steadily, he began to regret it in his heart.

It was so damn high that Williams adjusted for a moment, holding the ball and lunging at maximum speed, only to get too hard and fly into the air, the ball hit the basket directly, and then sat on the ground with his ass.

Obviously, Williams is holding up this time, and the height of 3.55 meters is not something that ordinary people can challenge. In this way, Williams missed the championship, as long as Lu Yuan jumped higher than Klin, he won the first place, just on the outside court, Lu Yuan's jump height was stronger than Klin.

So, the host came over and asked, "Tell me, boy, which height are you going to challenge?" Look at the top of your head, if you think it's too high, you might as well put it down. ”

Lu Yuan looked up at the 11-foot-8-inch basket, it was indeed a little unreachable, as if it was piercing the sky, Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said to the host: "No change, I want to challenge this height." ”

The host was stunned for a second, and then repeated Lu Yuan's decision to the audience in ten times his voice, and the scene erupted in huge cheers!

Lu Yuan decided to challenge this seemingly unattainable height, and he didn't want to lower the difficulty for the sake of the title.

The suspense of the challenge instantly increased sharply, if Lu Yuan succeeded, the champion would naturally be the winner, and if he didn't succeed, then Klin, who chose a conservative height, would be called the biggest winner, and the result was really surprising.

Lu Yuan took the ball from the host's hand, grabbed it hard, took a few steps back, and then observed the height and distance with his eyes.

In the stands, all the audience's eyes widened, and Zhou Junlu clenched her fists tightly, it was the first time she was so nervous that her knuckles were a little white.

Not only her, but also other Chinese students, at this moment, Lu Yuan became the representative of all of them.

At this time, Lu Yuan made an amazing move, he did not rush to the basket with the ball, but directly smashed the ball to the floor!

The ball smashed on the floor and bounced high, and then Lu Yuan strode towards the basket, bent his knees, swung his arms back, and his whole body was fully tightened, and then suddenly exerted force like a spring, jumping high into the air.

He caught the ball right in the air with his right hand and smashed it towards the basket at the highest point!

"Bang!"

The ball was dunked into the basket by Lu Yuan! A solid dunk! A 100 percent dunk! The Oakland Arena was boiling in an instant!

The fans jumped from the stands, and the sound almost toppled the stadium, which is a large stadium of 20,000 people, and it takes huge decibels to drown out the cheers.

And Lu Yuan's dunk undoubtedly ignited and detonated the audience, and the host stepped forward to give Lu Yuan a warm hug, and loudly announced Lu Yuan as the champion of the dunk challenge!

At this time, Lu Yuan finally blossomed, but he didn't show a warm smile, just a faint smile.

Then, Lu Yuan received a small certificate symbolizing the champion from the host, and then the staff left the venue with three people.

This challenge was originally used to warm up the final of the slam dunk contest and coax the atmosphere, but I never expected that Lu Yuan's wonderful dunk directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Now the game organizer and the two little players who are going to participate in the final of the slam dunk contest are depressed, Lu Yuan's dunk has raised the expectations of the fans, and the next slam dunk contest finals have been a lot colder, no matter how the two little players dunk, now the enthusiasm of the audience cannot be mobilized.

Lu Yuan got the ticket and returned to his position, he suddenly became the focus of everyone, and those who didn't know him praised him for his awesomeness.

Lu Yuan just smiled and didn't speak, but Zhou Junlu could see that Lu Yuan's smile seemed to be a little reluctant, so he stepped forward and asked quietly, "Are you injured?"

Lu Yuan glanced at Zhou Junlu, nodded, and pointed to his thighs, his expression was very ugly.
