Andre Drummond brought in a former superstar like Nash in the second round of dunks, regardless of how effective the final dunk was, it was a gimmick now. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two soon began to work together, Nash kicked the ball in front, Drummond trotted behind, and when he was almost under the basket, Nash suddenly pulled the ball into the net with his heel, and Drummond jumped up.

But then there was no spectacular dunk, Nash is not a professional footballer, and even getting an international player to pass an assist to Drummond is not that easy. Because this time it's not a football, it's a bigger basketball.

It was easier said than done to hook the basketball to the designated spot with his heel, and on the first attempt, Nash hooked the ball directly under the basket, and Drummond had no chance to dunk with the ball.

It's a great idea, but it's not a bad idea. Nash has been retired for a long time, and his state must have dropped a lot, and he is the one who plays the most slam dunk scenes, as for Drummond, who was originally the protagonist, has become a supporting character who only needs to jump up and dunk the ball into the basket.

Nash then tried to hook his heel three times, but none of them worked.

The rules of this year's dunk contest are that a player has a maximum of four attempts in a dunk round. Nash tried four times without success, indicating that Drummond's dunk was about to fail.

But the four failures were all their own pots, how could Nash allow himself to cheat Drummond like this. He was a little emotional, and stretched out his index finger to the judges to make a "1" gesture, asking the judges to give him another chance.

This year's All-Star will be held in Canada, and Nash is Canadian, not to mention, just to see that he gets the MVP of Lian Zhuang, this face must be given.

In the last chance to save face, Nash finally hooked the ball to the top of the basket, and after the follow-up Drummond caught the ball, he dunked the ball into the basket with a big windmill action!

Now the fans are not stingy with their applause, although the two tried 5 times to succeed, but in the end it can be regarded as a complete merit.

Nash looked at Drummond apologetically when he left the court, as the assistant to the dunk player, Nash made consecutive mistakes, which caused Drummond to almost miss the dunk in the end, which made him feel very embarrassed.

In the end, Drummond's dunk scored 39 points, which was more than the first round, but it was limited. Drummond, who scored 36 points in the first round and 39 points in the second round, scored a total of 75 points, with a one-point advantage, was lucky not to be the person with the lowest score in this slam dunk contest.

However, Will Barton and Drummond, one with 74 points and the other with 75 points, such a low score, have already withdrawn from the competition for a place in the finals early. Although Aaron Gordon is much less well-known than these two, he is the only one who can stop Zach LaVine in this slam dunk contest.

After Drummond dunked, Aaron Gordon came on.

After getting on the court, he took the ball and walked outside the three-point line of the baseline, and it seems that his dunk initiation point was chosen at the baseline point.

Just when the audience thought he was about to start his dunk, they saw him wave towards the players' tunnel - the magic dragon, the cute mascot of the Magic team, stepped out of the players' tunnel on an electric skateboard!

Aaron Gordon's use of the team's mascot as an assistant is also quite a creative idea. Because in the history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, such a scene has rarely occurred.

This gimmick alone has already made many viewers excited.

Gordon asked the mascot to stand under the basket, but because the mascot was on an electric skateboard, it was difficult to stand still.

Once the mascot was seated, Gordon raised his hands high and then placed the ball in his raised hands.

Seeing Gordon fiddling with the mascot like this, the fans at the scene began to be a little restless. Judging from these details, Gordon's dunk intent is already very obvious - he should take the ball from the mascot's hand and then go to complete the dunk action.

But the mascot is already more than two meters tall on an electric skateboard, and the ball is lifted by him, so Gordon's point of taking the ball is quite high.

To get the ball from such a high point and complete the dunk action, it takes quite a long time to stay in the air!

The difficulty of this buckle, compared with the difficulty of Gordon's first bite before, is not in the same dimension at all!

In the anticipation of the live arena, Gordon reflexively walked out of the three-point line, adjusted his pace, and suddenly accelerated and rushed straight to the basket!

Gordon took his athleticism to the extreme, sprinting so fast that the camera couldn't keep up.

Seeing this scene, the fans who were relatively close to the stadium were a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but start to marvel. But what surprised them even more was yet to come.

After Gordon rushed into the three-second zone, he jumped and flew to the head of the mascot like a helicopter!

However, because he didn't adjust the starting point, this time he jumped a little late and couldn't get the ball over the head of the mascot. Although the first attempt failed, such an amazing dunk still drew unanimous applause from the audience.

After a slight adjustment, Gordon immediately began his second attempt.

Adjust your pace, accelerate from the start, and jump up!

The second time he jumped, he jumped higher than the previous one!

Before he was about to leap over the mascot, he quickly got the ball from the mascot with both hands; Then he spread his legs and jumped over the mascot's head without touching the mascot at all!

Such an amazing jumping ability was impressed by the audience.

But Gordon's performance was not over yet, after jumping over the mascot, he sent the ball to the crotch, and the ball was handed from his right hand to his left hand, successfully completing the crotch change action!

After the crotch change was completed, his whole body also stretched, and then he stuffed the ball into the basket with force!

After Gordon's dunk was completed, the scene was boiling!

Maddie on the judges' bench couldn't help but reach out to hide his face, such a dunk action is better than LaVine's dunk in the first round, not to mention more creative, and the difficulty coefficient is also higher. The most important thing is that Gordon is a big man on the inside, and it is really unreasonable not to give a full score to complete this dunk in the air.

Gordon also looked excited after his own dunk, making a two-handed bow gesture, right hand up, left hand down, both hands stretched out index fingers to point to the rebound - he was paying tribute to Vince Carter! This man, who is known as the strongest dunk player in history, also made this move after completing a crotch change dunk with Maddie in the 2000 slam dunk contest.

But for such a perfect dunk, the judges didn't give a full score, and in the end Gordon scored 49 points!

The only judge who didn't give Gordon a 10 was "Big Shark" O'Neill!

Seeing O'Neill so faceless, the whole stadium was booed for a while.

The camera pointed at the judges' bench, and when Johnson and Maddie, the "magic" Johnson and Maddie, who were sitting next to O'Neal, realized that O'Neal actually only gave 9 points, Johnson laughed wildly with his cigarette holder, and Maddie was surprised.

O'Neill seemed a little upset when he heard the fans booing him.

Lao Tzu is a judge, you can give as many points as you want!

He cursed and didn't know what he was talking about, and then reached out and smashed the small object next to him.

Gordon was also helpless, and said that he was really a husky, such a difficult action, and he didn't give full marks.

However, the score has been decided, and no matter how unhappy Gordon himself or the fans are, it will not help.

After Gordon completed an earth-shattering dunk, the last player in the second round of dunks, LaVine, is finally on the scene.

LaVine also found an assistant for this dunk, Andre Miller.

Miller is also a veteran, entering the league with the eighth pick in 1999 and playing for the Cavaliers, Clippers, Nuggets, 76ers, Trail Blazers, Wizards, Kings, Timberwolves and Spurs. He missed just four of the 1,048 games in the first 13 years of his career and holds the league's longest streak of 632 appearances. Although he has not won a championship so far, he has had a brilliant time, he has a good passing, and he was the assist leader in a single season (2001-02).

Last summer, Miller Sr. came to the Timberwolves. As a teammate, LaVine knows Miller's passing skills, so he was asked to come up and cooperate on such an important occasion.

Miller stood on the left side of the free-throw line, a little from the center of the half, and didn't make any moves to lift the ball. LaVine, on the other hand, ran to the other half and looked ready for a long run.

At this time, many fans thought: With such a long running distance, is it necessary to jump from the free throw line?

LaVine's jumping ability is undeniably the best in the league. And he needs such a long running distance, so nine times out of ten his next dunk will be a dunk from the free throw line.

In the history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, there have also been several free throw line dunks, such as Michael Jordan's most memorable "Sky Walk" and Brent Barry's "White People Can Fly".

But I did it all by myself.

Because gliding over such a long distance is already very difficult, and if you want to add other people's cooperation in the dunk, it is even more difficult, and almost no one can do it.

Looking at Laven's posture now, it seems that he wants to challenge the limit!

Ravan took a deep breath and sped up to speed forward. He was fast, crossing the halfway line and stepping into the three-point line in the blink of an eye.

And at this moment, Miller Sr. suddenly threw the ball over the free throw line-

It's actually a free throw line jump + a dunk in the air relay!!

The whole arena was shaken to the ground, and LaVine stepped on the free throw line with his left foot, and his light body jumped up, like a fallen leaf blown by the wind!

Miller Sr.'s pass was just right in LaVine's hand, and he didn't need to adjust at all, ignoring gravity and flying straight towards the basket.

It seems that the two have practiced many times in private, and how can old Miller's pass be "stable".

Miller did his job, but LaVine had a little problem here. He probably didn't get the jump right, and in the end he missed the glide distance, and he dunked the ball to the inside of the basket and bounced off.

Although his attempt failed, the shock was unparalleled.

Human beings enjoy the thrill of pushing their limits again and again, and in sports, the limits of human beings are the easiest to see. Here, one can often see athletes pushing their own limits, pushing the limits of humanity.

Therefore, the 100-meter race, which is only a dozen seconds before and after, is one of the most popular events in all sports. People held their breath as they watched the athletes gallop like arrows from the string, and people paid attention to whether he could go faster and break the so-called "shackles" and "limits" of experts again and again.

In basketball, the most challenging thing about human limits is the ability to bounce and stay in the air. And the dunk jumping from the free throw line perfectly reflects these two abilities.

So LaVine's free throw line jump + air relay dunk just now, although it didn't succeed, it's really hard not to be amazed.

Although the first attempt failed, LaVine was not discouraged, patted his chest, and then walked to the other half court to continue the second attempt.

The fans also gave him a warm applause for a while to show encouragement.

LaVine started and sprinted again, and this time he adjusted the starting point, and the starting position was half a step forward from the previous one. And it was such a small adjustment that allowed him to successfully dunk the ball into the basket!

"Bang!"

With the muffled sound of the basketball smashing into the basket, the private lights on the scene, and the screams and cheers of the audience exploded instantly.

Free throw line jump + assistant pass air relay, such a difficult dunk, I'm afraid that except for Jordan and Carter and other gods at their peak, no one dares to try such an action in the dunk contest.

Full score dunk, absolute perfect score dunk!

The footage of the scene was also given to several contestants-

After Drummond saw LaVine's successful dunk, he suddenly bounced up from his seat, his eyes widened, his mouth opened subconsciously, and he kept shaking his head. Although he knew that he had already missed the finals, he was also one of the contestants after all, and it was really unfortunate to meet such an opponent;

Will Barton, on the other hand, had a dull expression and didn't know what was going on in his mind;

Aaron Gordon was also stunned, he didn't expect LaVine to come to such a difficult dunk, he had a headache What should he do next.

In the end, the jury gave a score of 49 points.

It's 49 points again!

It's O'Neill again!

The other four judges, whether it was Maddie, "Magic" Johnson, "The Iceman" George Gerwin, or Uncle Mu, all gave a perfect score of 10, and O'Neill was the only one who gave a 9!

Before Aaron Gordon's earth-shattering dunk, O'Neal also only gave 9 points!

Although O'Neal gave 9 points and 10 points, it did not have much impact on the results of the preliminary round, and Gordon and LaVine had no problem in reaching the finals.

But it's always a pity that such a perfect two dunks can't get the full score they deserve.

There are also many people who reminisce about it, this is O'Neill's unique entertainment method, and he entertained everyone in such a funny way and grabbed a lot of scenes. Because he only scored 9 points for two perfect dunks, the cameras on the scene frequently showed his fat and bloated body.

In the end, the preliminary round of this year's slam dunk contest officially ended, Will Barton, who only scored 74 points, and Andre Drummond, who scored 75 points, were eliminated, and Zach LaVine, who scored 99 points, and Aaron Gordon, who scored 94 points, advanced to the finals with the first and second places in the preliminary round, respectively.
