Chapter 229: Harden on the Wall

Speaking of the most exciting slam dunk contest in history, most people may think that the 2000 slam dunk contest was the most exciting in history. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Vince Carter showed his god-like dunk ability at that slam dunk contest, defeating super dunk players Maddie and Steve Francis to win the championship strongly. With his wonderful performance in that slam dunk contest, he is also known as the strongest dunk player in history.

A 360° dunk in the air or a windmill dunk with a change of hands under the crotch, although the difficulty is not the biggest type of dunk, but he uses his body and technology to interpret it to the point of transcending perfection.

For many pseudo-fans, Carter's dunks are not as good as Jordan's "Sky Walk", what qualifications does he have to become the strongest dunk player in history?

There are a thousand reasons for those who support this statement, and there are a thousand reasons for those who oppose it.

However, Jordan himself is noncommittal about Carter's claim that he is the best dunker in history. After all, he is the strongest old rascal in history, and he can't wear the championship ring on one hand, so he still needs to care about the name of such a strongest buckleman when he is full of honor?

Although there is a lot of debate about who is the best dunk contest, there are very few objections to the claim that the 2000 slam dunk contest is the best dunk contest in history.

However, just today, at the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest, Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine relied on their amazing performances to continuously elevate the status of this slam dunk contest until they could be compared with the 2000 slam dunk contest!

Since the two advanced to the finals with both hands, the four dunks in the two rounds of the finals are all full scores!

In the end, I had to make a rare slam dunk contest in the playoffs!

As a result, in the playoffs, the two each dunked a full dunk!

In order to separate the winners, the two have to play a second play-off!

In the second playoffs, it was Gordon who took the lead.

Gordon didn't ask his assistant to help with the dunk this time, and he was ready to do a self-throwing dunk.

But he threw it too high, right?!

He actually hit the ball on the timer above the rebound!

Sky! A timer dunk has only been seen in 2k basketball games, and no one has ever tried it in reality!

Gordon actually wants to play such an action!

Unfortunately, he couldn't get it right a few times, because the timer was too high, and it didn't want to be as elastic as the rebound, and Gordon couldn't grasp this degree in the rush of his impromptu intentions.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up this crazy idea and came to the bottom right corner of the three-point line. He's probably ready to dunk from here.

After taking a deep breath, he started to accelerate, but after many difficult dunks in a short period of time, more physical exertion was not small, and the speed was obviously not as fast as before.

Accelerating along the baseline and stepping into the paint, Gordon jumped on both feet - obviously, he didn't jump as high as he used to.

After the jump, he grabbed the ball with both hands and pulled it back of his head!

This pull also made his body completely stretched out in the air. Then he quickly pulled the ball from the back of his head to his crotch, and the position of the ball changed by a full meter of height.

At this point, his body was completely facing away from the rebound, and the basket was right behind his head. Then he pulled the ball under his crotch and pulled it up again, pouring it into the back of his head!

"Bang!"

Gordon's aerial folding super lever buckle is a one-hit!

When there is little physical strength left, it is already very extreme to be able to make a pull-up dunk that makes the basketball move three times in a row with a wide range of displacement.

Looking at the way the hoop wobbles, you can see how powerful Gordon is when he dunks. Such an explosive dunk startled a large number of magnesium lights at the scene to flicker.

But this is a bit difficult for the judges, who don't know how to score for a while. It's time for the second overtime, why can this animal still dunk such a beautiful dunk?

Gordon's dunk is indeed beautiful, and in the slam dunk contest in previous years, he may have scored a full score without any suspense. But with this year's slam dunk contest, there are already a bunch of beautiful jade in front of them, and Gordon's dunk this time is a little dwarfed.

Whether it is the height in the air, or the time in the air, or the completion of the action, it is not up to the level of the previous full-score dunk. The previous dunk raised the judges' scoring standards, so although this dunk was wonderful, it couldn't get a full score anymore.

In addition, this is already the second time that the judges can no longer give high scores at will, or even give full marks. Otherwise, LaVine doesn't need to be deducted later, and the championship will be counted directly to Gordon.

Uncle Mu and "Iceman" George Gewen glanced at each other, and then shook their heads helplessly, this time the scoring is indeed difficult.

But it's hard to return, and the score always has to be played. After a period of incomparable entanglement, several people on the judges' bench communicated with each other for a while, and then the editors scored their scores one after another-

10 points, 10 points, 9 points, 9 points, 9 points!

Except for "Magic" Johnson and O'Neal who gave a perfect score, the other three all gave 9 points! Gordon scored a high 47 points for a dunk in the second playoffs!

At a time when all the contestants are sleepy, a score of 47 is indeed a high score. But this is also LaVine's chance, Gordon is no longer a perfect score, which means that LaVine has a chance to beat him!

As long as LaVine scores more than 48 points in the next dunk, he can beat a strong competitor and defend the title of slam dunk king!

Although Laven was still expressionless on his face, he actually had some joy in his heart. Gordon, who had been putting him under a lot of pressure, finally showed his slump, and as long as LaVine took advantage of the situation to pursue, he would win the victory.

Once again, LaVine was on the other side of the half......

Is it still a free-throw line dunk?

Those who have the ability to make a free throw line dunk also regard it as a unique job to press the bottom of the box, and they will never take it out easily. LaVine, on the other hand, has already done it twice in the slam dunk contest. Now I want to try it for the third time!

Speaking of which, LaVine and Curry are similar in some ways. For the average player, the three-point line is the three-point line, but Curry treats the three-point line as the mid-range! For LaVine, a free-throw line dunk is just fairly ordinary and dunk!

Under the watchful eyes of the audience and even the global audience, LaVine began to accelerate his run. After rushing to the three-point line, he took two strides with both hands, and then stepped into the free throw line with his left foot for half a step, and then slammed into the sky!

Sure enough, it's a free-throw line dunk again!

However, his dunk this time was closer to the basket than the previous two free-throw line dunks, and it seems that his physical exertion is also quite serious, and he deliberately adjusted his jumping point.

As LaVine took to the air, his feet split away, sending the ball down to his crotch with his left hand and catching it from his crotch with his right hand on the other side!

The fans were completely shocked.

Jumping from the free throw line and changing hands under the crotch for a dunk?!

Liar, huh?!

However, they did not dare to blink an eye, for fear that this wonderful moment would be missed.

After LaVine finished changing hands under his crotch, the whole person almost glided in front of the basket. Then he grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it up, followed by a one-handed dunk.

"Bang!"

Such an unprecedentedly difficult dunk was successfully dunked by LaVine once!

Clean and clean, without the slightest slurry!

When he landed in the air after completing the dunk, LaVine was so weak that he almost couldn't stand, and it seemed that this was also his limit.

However, it doesn't matter, after seeing his free throw line jump + crotch change hands dunk, no one in the whole arena can keep calm, people want to go crazy, hugging the person next to him and shouting and jumping!

After LaVine's dunk settled, people already knew who the dunk king of this year's slam dunk contest was. Andrew Wiggins and other LaVine's teammates on the Timberwolves rushed over to congratulate him as soon as he finished dunking.

In the end, the judges did not disappoint and gave LaVine a perfect score of 50. In this way, LaVine finally defeated Gordon after two rounds of playoffs, and became the fourth player to successfully win the slam dunk contest after Michael Jordan, Jason Richardson, and Nate Robinson.

With what may be the best dunk contest in history, the All-Star Game on February 13 is over, and this year's All-Star Weekend is all that remains for the last and most delicious meal - the All-Star Game.

On Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. local time, the Air Canada Centre gymnasium was already crowded. This is the home arena of the Toronto Raptors and the host of this year's All-Star Game.

After the wonderful pre-match program, it was time for the players to enter. However, before the players entered, the head coach of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams was the first to play.

"Head Coach of the Eastern Army, from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue!"

With the host's acceptance, the lights on the scene were given to Tyronn Lue, who had just appeared, and he was waving to the audience.

Tyronn Lue was a lucky one, having only coached three regular-season games to pick the fruits of David Blatter, and not only became the head coach of the No. 1 team in the East, but also the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team.

After that came was Greg Popovich, head coach of the Western Conference All-Stars.

The Warriors currently sit in first place in the West with 41 wins and 4 losses, as well as first in the league, but since Steve Kerr coached the All-Star Game last year, he can no longer be the head coach of the Western Conference this year.

As the acting head coach of the Warriors, Luke Wharton felt like he was broken inside. With the Warriors' current record, it can be said that he has no credit and hard work, why can Tyronn Lue become an All-Star head coach and can't? Kerr was the head coach of the Western Conference All-Stars last year, but the problem is that I'm not Kerr? My name is Luke Wharton!

However, no matter how devastated Walton was, the league still gave Popovich the position of head coach of the Western Conference All-Star Team. The Spurs' current record of 37-8 is also extremely exaggerated, ranking second in the West and second in the league.

When Popovich came out, he was unanimously welcomed by the audience, which was simply deafening, which shows his popularity in the league.

After the coach introduced it, it was the player's turn.

The first player to be introduced was Eastern Conference Pistons center Andre Drummond. This year's All-Star is the first All-Star tour of Drummond's career, and although he only played in the slam dunk contest yesterday, he also experienced the atmosphere of an All-Star in advance.

Also selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career is Isaiah Thomas, a small guard in the East. With his height of 1.75 meters, he is perhaps the shortest all-star player in history.

After that, All-Star benches such as Paul Millsap, John Wall, DeMar DeRozan, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, LaMarcus Aldridge and others were introduced one by one.

Although Chris Bosh and Jimmy Butler missed the All-Star Games due to injury, they were introduced on the spot, along with their replacements Al Horford and Pau Gasol.

Among the players, the first to be introduced were the substitutes, and among them, the likes of DeMar DeRozan, Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul were the most popular.

DeRozan is the host, and it's only natural that he is popular; Westbrook and Paul are both in the top five or even top three point guards in the league, and now the league point guards are in charge, and they are the trendsetters at the cutting edge, and their popularity is naturally enough.

Westbrook, in particular, was expected to start as an All-Star, but was pushed off by Yi Feng at the last moment.

It is worth mentioning that James Harden was not selected for this year's All-Star Game! Because of the poor performance of the Rockets, Harden's popularity has been greatly affected, and in the end, even the All-Star bench selected by the league-wide coaching staff has no Harden.

Take a look at the rivals with Harden: Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Klay Thompson......

In the All-Star bench, there are only two guards, and there are two players who are not limited to positions. In other words, Harden can only look for opportunities in these four positions.

But like him, he is a guard, Wei Shao, Paul, etc., the team has a higher record than him, and there are more All-Star votes than him, and Harden can't compete. So his last hope was in the two spots that didn't have a player spot.

But those two spots are more competitive than the guard spots, because basically the players who still have a little hope of making the All-Star spot are eyeing them.

Although Harden's stats this season are still so impressive, the team's poor record has greatly dragged him down. Who made your Rockets ninth in the West?

It was useless for Harden to cry and scream, and he had to watch from the sidelines of the All-Star game...... (To be continued.) )
