Chapter 396: Slam Dunk Contest
The fans at the scene were so excited that Curry and Kobe Bryant, the superstars sitting on the sidelines, screamed non-stop, and even the six celebrity guests on the commentary seat were also excited and incoherent, and Barkley jumped up directly from his seat, and then rushed to the court with the microphone.

But Tang Hao wasn't too excited, just waved his hand to the audience, as if he had just completed something that was not too exciting.
Barkley had already rushed into the arena, and after spending a minute to silence the crowd that was going crazy, the big mouth couldn't hold it anymore.
"Don, tell me, what the hell do you think, wearing a training uniform for a three-point shooter!" Barkley couldn't contain his excitement as soon as he spoke.
"What's the problem?" Tang Hao looked at Barkley puzzled.
"Oh God, tell me, I can't take it anymore!" Barkley grimaced, looking hungri.
"The temperature of the air conditioner tonight is not very high, aren't you also wearing a suit?" Tang Hao said honestly.
When this answer came out, the scene was in an uproar, but soon, they looked left and right, saw each other wearing long sleeves, and found that there was nothing wrong with this answer.
Barkley was also made to laugh and cry by Tang Hao's answer, although there is nothing wrong with this, but this is also a game!
"Well, well, it's a credit to the arena staff. ”
Barkley's words immediately drew a burst of laughter and cheers from the audience.
"So, I see you didn't have much of a change in mood before the game, during the game, even now, and with Curry scoring 31 points, don't you have a little bit of pressure?" Barkley asked.
"Nope. Tang Hao shook his head.
This answer immediately drew a burst of laughter from the audience.
Curry couldn't stop laughing.
"I'm not kidding, man. Barkley looked at Tang Hao with a serious expression.
"I'm not kidding, Charles. Tang Hao replied lightly.
This answer immediately drew laughter from the audience again, and Curry laughed completely.
"Okay, okay, so what do you think 31 is?" Barkley didn't intend to get around the question.
"An excellent score. Tang Hao said truthfully.
"An excellent score? that's all?" Barkley was obviously dissatisfied with Tang Hao's answer.
"Well, apart from me, probably only Curry did it. Tang Hao nodded and said.
"Phew~"
There was boos, but then there was a burst of laughter.
"Okay, okay, man, you won, congratulations!" Barkley said and hugged Tang Hao.
"Let's congratulate Don for accomplishing something no one else can do in NBA history, winning the three-point contest with a perfect score......! The most classic three-point contest in NBA history! No substitute! I suddenly can't wait to see the slam dunk contest, I want to see if this guy is still wearing a training uniform!"
As Barkley spoke, there was another earth-shattering cheer, mixed with laughter and whistles.
Tang Hao walked to the sidelines, Kobe Bryant was the first to stand up, followed by other stars, who surrounded him to congratulate him.
Curry, in particular, was not disappointed by the loss of this three-point contest for the fifth time, on the contrary, he was excited, as if he had shot 34 points.
After a while, the award ceremony of the three-point contest followed.
This is the first trophy Tang Hao won, and after receiving the trophy from the guests, he raised it high, igniting the entire stadium again.
At the end of the award ceremony, staff entered the stadium on the sidelines, and then the venue began to be cleared.
At this time, the night is getting darker, but the number of spectators at the scene is increasing instead of decreasing.
After the three-point contest is over, it will be the slam dunk contest that will follow.
A total of 4 people were invited to participate in this slam dunk contest, namely Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Magic's outside core Victor Oladipo, the Timberwolves' rookie Zach LaVine, and the Lakers' Tang Hao.
Compared with the starry light of the three-point contest, the starlight of the slam dunk contest is much dimmer.
In fact, the other three people other than Tang Hao, even the most famous Oladipo, are also mixed in the fish belly magic team, and the other two are still newcomers who have not been able to play talent, if it were not for Tang Hao's existence, this slam dunk contest is estimated to become the one with the lowest attention since the new century.
But all of this has become different because of Tang Hao's existence.
Regardless of the opponent's performance, being able to see Tang Hao complete the 6 dunks in the dunk contest, they are definitely worth the trip.
This can be seen from the attendance rate at the scene, compared to the first day, the Barclays Center Arena is absolutely full today, and even some aisles are occupied by fans, and no one wants to miss Tang Hao's dunk performance.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the 2015 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, today on this field, there will be four capable players competing for the championship of this year's Slam Dunk Contest, first of all, let us welcome the small forward from the Bucks, Giannis ~ Antetokounmpo from Greece with the warmest applause!"
The host began to introduce the participants of the slam dunk contest, and the first to appear was "Brother Alphabet" Antetokounmpo, because the name was particularly long and awkward, the fans nicknamed him "Brother Alphabet", only 21 years old, but his recent performance was quite good, and his appearance also attracted a lot of cheers from the audience.
When Brother Alphabet appeared, there was also a team of staff carrying the Greek flag, which caused a burst of restlessness from the spectators on the sidelines.
The NBA All-Star Game is broadcast worldwide, and the broadcast of this game in China is Zhang Weiping, who has reached more than 70 years, "Coach Zhang" and "All-round Commentator" Yang Jian.
"This national flag is interesting, is it possible that this is to cross the national flag to complete this dunk?" Zhang Weiping couldn't help but say.
"Flag, it's too difficult, but it's possible to go sideways. ”
"yes, horizontally...... Hey, it's withdrawn. ”
While the two were talking, the Greek flag and the team had withdrawn from the basketball court, and it seemed that they were not going to complete any flying flags, but really just an appearance ceremony.
When everyone else left the stage, Brother Alphabet also began his first buckle performance.
Without an assistant, his dunk has to be done alone.
He took a deep breath, threw the ball forward, and then lunged forward, leaping high and smashing the ball into the basket with one hand with his right hand.
He has a good idea, he is tall and has long arms, and such a dunk is also very visually striking.
"Bang!"
The basketball smashed into the hoop and his first attempt ended in failure.
The audience couldn't help but shake their heads.
Brother Alphabet's action is not innovative enough, and it has not been completed for the first time, and the interest of fans has decreased greatly.
The second time he tried, he didn't mean to change his movements.
But perhaps it was too high, and his second attempt ended in failure.
Most of the audience shook their heads.
"Giannis needs to take one last chance. Smith opened his mouth and said that he was trying to keep the fans enthusiastic, and the atmosphere brought by the previous three-point contest could not be so cold.
His third attempt, despite cheers from the crowd, failed in his dunk.
The fans shook their heads in disappointment.
This is also the current status quo of the slam dunk contest, after bidding farewell to Carter, Maddie, Kobe Bryant's classic slam dunk contest, the spectacle of this event has declined year by year, although there is a wonderful performance of "Little Potato" Nate Robinson, but after entering 2010, the project has declined sharply in terms of both the quality and ornamentation of the players.
After there are no more breakthroughs in the action, the players are developing more in the direction of pursuing new ideas, not so much a slam dunk contest as a dunk exhibition game.
Brother Alphabet's score was 34 points in the end, and "Potato" Webb only gave a score of 6 points, which shows that the former dunk king is quite disappointed with Brother Alphabet's performance.
After Brother Alphabet, he was followed by Oladipo.
Oladipo is known for his physical fitness, and when the host introduced him to the stage, the audience's emotions returned a lot.
Oladipo is also very entertaining, and when he appeared with his own background music, he even sang directly with a microphone.
Such a move also drew laughter from the audience.
In the entertainment-oriented All-Star Game, but also in the modern entertainment slam dunk contest, this way of appearing is very unique.
Not to mention, Oladipo sang really well, and after singing, he attracted a lot of applause from the audience.
Tang Hao also applauded, many players in the NBA league can sing rap, but Oladipo's non-rap singing really has a little potential as an artist.
Singing is just an interlude, and Oladipo takes off his jacket after singing and starts his dunk.
With the interactive performance a while ago, the audience cheered for Oladipo at the beginning.
After Oladipo was ready, he then stood at the bottom corner of the three-point line, and judging by the way he looked, he should be ready to complete the dunk from the side.
After taking two deep breaths and taking one last look at the position of the basket, Oladipo took the ball and rushed directly towards the basket.
At a distance of two meters from the basket, he jumped up directly, and at the same time as he jumped, the whole person began to spin in the air.
There was a commotion at the scene.
Oladipo's body turned 360 degrees in the air, and the whole person flew past the basket, reflexively pressing directly to the basket.
"Bang!"
The basketball smashes out of the frame.
Oladipo's first attempt failed.
However, there was a burst of cheers at the scene, because the difficulty of Oladipo's dunk was not more than half a star compared to Brother Alphabet.
When Oladipo stood in the bottom corner again, the cheers of the audience were already quite imposing.
"Come on, Victor, you can do it!" Barkley shouted as he cheered for Oladipo.
Oladipo took a deep breath and took the ball and rushed to the basket again.
