LeBron James walked to the court amid the strong cheers of the crowd.

As the number one star in the NBA, he also has a strong appeal in the West.

Wearing the number 23 jersey, although his style of play is very different from Michael Jordan, people have become accustomed to thinking of him as the next person to rule the league, and he is the rightful prince!

'Being able to get me to dunk early in the finals, this guy does have something. ’

When James was doing the warm-up exercises, he glanced at Li Zhen again.

I don't know when Li Zhen has surpassed Kobe Bryant and become his biggest imaginary enemy. Because Kobe Bryant is aging step by step, and this guy is constantly growing.

He originally thought Lee's dunk was mediocre.

But I didn't expect him to still have some advantages: his ability to stay in the air and control his body shape make his dunk unique, technically speaking, not very difficult, but very beautiful. Moreover, he has some reversals that break the routine and suddenly explode, so he scored 48 points.

James is still full of confidence in himself, he feels that next, Li Zhen is relying on the 'surprise' component, and when he enters the main game, after everyone's expectations for him are raised, he can't come up with anything new, no matter how good he is in the air, no matter how beautiful he is, he can only be eliminated.

The slam dunk contest is a hard talent!

James retreated to the vicinity of the center circle.

Immediately after, he began to run wildly.

Because he was going to prepare for an earth-shattering dunk, he didn't dribble... This is called building on strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

There will be no referees or discerning fans in the slam dunk contest who will jump out and accuse him of walking.

When he rushed forward quickly and violently, everyone had already guessed what he was going to do.

However, he did not grasp the balance well.

The ball of his foot stepped into the free throw line, though, the heel of the shoe touched the free throw line.

It's undoubtedly a flaw for a free-throw line dunk.

But when James' tank-like body leaped up like a rocket, no one was not shocked by the scene.

In particular, James also made a weak lever in mid-air.

For a small forward who has gained weight to the center level, the difficulty factor is amazing!

Rumble!

The basketball is slammed into the basket with James' left hand.

Phoenix Arena immediately boiled.

Shackle O'Neill stood up again and flipped Stoudemire behind him again.

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

A successful free-throw line dunk earned him 49 points.

Only Michael Jordan deducted 1 point.

This decision made McBlin, who was sitting in the ESPN commentary seat, a little incomprehensible: "I can't believe LeBron's dunk at all, Michael actually only gave 9 points." But in the last round, he gave Bruce 10 points. Did he think Bruce's dunk was better? ”

He's questioning the judging standards of the basketball gods.

Because through past interviews, it is not difficult to find that Michael Jordan's love for Lee is extremely obvious, but he is a little lukewarm to LeBron, the rightful successor.

Reggie Miller, who was sitting next to him, frowned.

Although his career has been in the shadow of Jordan, he still said something to explain for Jordan: "Because LeBron James didn't quite step on the free throw line." For a free-throw line dunk, the standard should be outside the free-throw line. Although LeBron only crossed two-thirds of the foot, it was less difficult. ”

Reggie Miller's explanation may not convince everyone.

But this... It was indeed the reason for Jordan's deductions.

With LeBron James surpassing Li Zhen's highest score of 49 points, the four contestants in the main competition have also been released.

Andre Iguodala, Russell Weissbrook, LeBron James, Li Zhen.

It's definitely a lineup at the level of fairy fights.

Li Zhen aside, the physical fitness of these three has always been highly recognized, and their talent is at the absolute peak of the NBA. It's even hard to pick three players out of the active squad and add up to them in terms of total talent.

Therefore, this made the fans at the scene, as well as the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV, remain extremely excited.

The race began soon.

Iguodala was the first to play.

He didn't disappoint everyone.

He found Alan Iverson, who has now been traded to Detroit.

Alan Iverson, as Iguodala's first boss in the industry, helped Iguodala complete this wonderful dunk.

Iguodala accelerated from the left baseline and rushed to the basket at an extremely fast speed, Iverson threw the basketball from behind the rebound just right, Iguodala received Iverson's pass in the air, and completed the backhand dunk with both hands with a big lever!

The whole action is seamless.

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

Two perfect points, three nines, Iguodala's first dunk in the game ignited the passion of the fans.

Everyone's adrenaline is pumped and everyone is looking forward to the next higher-level encounter!

Russell Westbrook withstood the pressure.

He called teammate Kevin Durant onto the court.

Kevin Durant was assigned by him to stand in front of the basket...... Although Xiao Du is thin, his height is comparable to 80% of the league's centers. Anyway, Dwight Howard, the league's No. 1 center today, stood in front of him, his eyes couldn't be level, and he had to raise the arc slightly upward.

When this scene occurs.

Almost everyone already knows what Westbrook is up to, a cross-man dunk!

This is not uncommon in the history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

However, with Durant's height, everyone still looks at him a little taller.

However.

However, Westbrook was a beast that startled everyone.

The guy started from beyond the three-point line, jumped into the paint like a bullfrog, and then jumped in front of Kevin Durant, spreading his legs over Durant's head...... Rumble!

This bastard grabbed the basketball and stabbed his arm straight into the basket!

Hanging arm buckle next to person!!

Oh, my God!!!

The scene was full of screams.

Vince Carter even covered his head.

Poor Stoudemire, although he had a premonition to avoid Shackle O'Neill in advance, was slapped in the head by a big shark, and the pain was so painful that he would rather be overturned.

There was screaming in the arena.

Young Master Wei also waved his hands very excitedly, shouting at the camera that followed him: This is a dunk!

10 points! 10 points! 10 points! 10 points! 10 points!

Young Master Wei got the first perfect score in this year's slam dunk contest!!

The referees were all frightened by this beastly dunk, which is the purest physical function.

Westbrook's height is even shorter than Li Zhen, but he actually did such a tough thing.

The technical content and spectacle of this slam dunk contest have been instantly improved, and it can even be compared to the fairy fight of Vince Carter's year.

Now, the pressure is on James and Li Zhen.

Li Zhen took a step forward at this time, and he walked onto the court.

"I think Bruce's choice to participate in the slam dunk contest was a self-defeating act, especially when he participated in this year's slam dunk contest. His opponent is too strong!! McBrin said in a serious way on ESPN: "He's just good at staying in the air and controlling his attitude." ”

Despite his outstanding performance in the preliminaries, Li Zhen was not recognized.

At the same time, Li Zhen has already stepped to the bottom line.

He slapped the basketball and then walked towards the box at a slow pace.

He doesn't have the aggressiveness of Iguodala or the furious bravery of Russell Westbrook!

He exudes grace in every step.

And when he took two steps, he took off, and his body showed unparalleled coordination and grace.

He made an extremely stunning crotch change in the air... His movements are fluid, very different from other players chasing ducks to the shelves, and there is an indescribable sense of naturalness.

And just when everyone thought he would dunk with his crotch hand, his body turned again in the air... He actually completed a 180-degree spin and dunked the back of the basketball into the basket with both hands!

There is no trace of mud and water, and there is no trace of reluctance!

It's so easy to dunk through the basket.

There is a sense of freedom and calmness that comes from the breeze.

It's a very different feeling from the previous two players!

Even the audience exclaimed after 1 second of silence!

If Westbrook and Iguodala take the fierce route of direct popularity, Li Zhen is full of charm!

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

Another 48 points.

Then, James appeared in the finale, and he also made extremely terrifying moves.

He actually asked the staff to drive into a small car.

Then, after 3 attempts, he finally conquered the sedan and smashed the basketball into the hoop in a tomahawk stance.

He scored 49 points.

If it weren't for the low success rate, it would definitely be a perfect score.

"It's definitely the best slam dunk contest ever!!"

Although the main competition has only reached the first round, many commentators have already sworn that the coffin is closed.

This is something that no one expected before the game.

Everyone thought that Li Zhen would be easily eliminated, but they didn't expect him to stay until now.

Moreover, it is also when all the other players are playing superbly.

The second round of competition began quickly.

The first to play was Andre Iguodala, who scored 47 points.

Iguodala seemed to be intimidated by the three opponents.

He forcibly increased the difficulty, he even wanted to do a self-tossing and self-dunking across the half, and he also wanted to change hands under the crotch in the air.

However, his passing accuracy was too poor.

Moreover, after Li Zhen completed such a beautiful aerial hand change action, his slightly stiff body movements made his crotch change hands boring.

It can be said that Li Zhen has played his posture to the extreme.

38 points.

Iguodala only scored this mediocre score after several attempts.

With the points added up in the two rounds, he has already lost his qualification to enter the finals, even if the next three have not yet dunked!

Then it was Li Zhen who appeared.

Li Zhen scored 48 points in the first round, 1 point behind James who flew over the car, and 2 points behind Young Master Wei, who was hanging on his arm and deducting from others.

The gap is not huge.

Li Zhen did not blindly take risks.

He did a move that was not too far off from Iguodala's design.

He threw the basketball into the box from beyond the three-point line, and when it bounced back, he quickly rushed in, received the basketball in mid-air, and then he completed the back-to-back change in the air, and his body rotated half a circle, and smashed the basketball into the basket with both hands in front of him!

The whole set of movements is smooth, like an aerial ballet!

Perfection and elegance!

No fuss.

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

49 points.

The total score of the two rounds combined reached 97 points.

The pressure instantly pressed on James and Westbrook, who were about to play.

When James' score came out, his whole scalp was numb.

He knew that if he didn't succeed this time, the chances of reaching the final were very slim.

Nowadays, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back!

This dunk needs to score 49 points to ensure safety.

He took a deep breath from beyond the three-point line.

With the free-throw line dunking and the flying car tried, there was not much left for him to prepare.

He also wants to play posture and elegance like Li Zhen, but his body shape is destined to make him only take the hard talent channel.

In the end, he made a decision.

He paid homage to the Cavaliers of the time, and he performed the one-arm giant slalom that Larinance did at the inaugural NBA Slam Dunk Contest that year.

On the basis of this action, he also added a little difficulty, and when he was spinning with one arm, his body twisted slightly... It's about seventy or eighty degrees of rotation.

Although the body shape and posture control cannot be compared with Li Zhen, considering the feelings, technical difficulty, and ...... LeBron James's fame.

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

LeBron James scored 48 points, adding up to 97 points in the two rounds.

Tied with Li Zhen.

This score makes the commentators argue.

The commentator who supports Li Zhen believes that James's second goal score is high and does not deserve to be tied with Li Zhen.

The commentators who support James feel that Li Zhen's dunk action is all about skills, all body postures, and it doesn't reflect how exciting the content is, how cool is James's first jump over the car, how amazing his free throw line pull-up dunk is, why choose Bruce?

The argument between the two is like taking the evaluation criteria of rhythmic gymnastics against the standards of Olympic weightlifting.

No one can convince anyone.

Russell Westbrook, meanwhile, took to the pitch.

He got a perfect score in the first round, and as long as he scored 48 points, he could enter the slam dunk contest with certainty.

And if he only scores 47 points, either all three of them will reach the final at the same time, or all three will add another round.

Young Master Wei is under a lot of pressure.

With a score of 47, he didn't know whether to take risks or seek stability.

risk-taking, which may affect the success rate.

If you seek stability, you are likely to not get 47 points.

He hovered around the three-point line for almost a minute before finally making his decision.

Venture!

Wealth and danger are sought!

He brought Kevin Durant to the court again, as well as Shackle O'Neal, Stoudemire, and Kevin Garnett.

He made the three of them crouch under the basket to form a human wall, and the three of them formed a long distance, which was a great test of his ability to stay in the air and control the timing.

Kevin Durant stands on the back of the basket and passes.

Westbrook came close to success on its first attempt.

He sprinted from the baseline, took off and took off to catch the basketball and even had a belly spread, but the basketball was dunked.

This caused the audience to scream in pity.

Then, Westbrook failed again.

The third time, after three superstars squatted on the ground for three minutes, they finally succeeded!

The audience was boiling!

But.

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

Westbrook actually scored only 46 points.

There was an instant uproar at the scene.

Many people have criticized this result.

Why Westbrook, who got a perfect score, can't make it to the finals, there must be something shady about this.

The commentators in the live broadcast room are also analyzing: "The NBA's operation is so unpleasant, they are obviously escorting Bruce Lee!" ”

McBlin pointed the finger at Li Zhen.

He believes that Li Zhen's dunk talent content is not high, and does not reflect the hard technical standards of higher, faster and stronger.

Reggie Miller also argued with him about this, and even asked: "Why can't the escort be LeBron James?" Bruce was the first to play, and he scored 97 points in a dignified manner. Do you really think LeBron scored 48 points in his second goal? He's the real royalty! ”

The two argued.

There are many similar arguments in front of the television.

However, the results have already appeared and will not change.

The two contenders in the final are Li Zhen and James.

Two of the NBA's most influential superstars face off on the stage of the Slam Dunk Contest.

While this was something that most people had expected before the race, it did go beyond everyone's expectations.

At least, everyone originally thought that James would win with certainty.

But now, it is not impossible for Li Zhen to lift the championship trophy.

"If Bruce continues to play rhythmic gymnastics in the finals, I don't think he has a chance at all. The audience is numb, and so will the judges. McBrin stressed on TV.

This seems to be a vaccination.

What he didn't know was that Li Zhen deliberately ran over to hug Young Master Wei when he was leaving. He also told him, "Next, I'm going to dunk seriously." Don't be discouraged, I'll get the title back. ”

Young Master Wei was shocked at the time, and thought: Haven't you played seriously before?

Of course!

Li Zhen's three dunks did not give full play to his bouncing ability, that is, seven or eight percent.

Now, in the finals, he's going to fire all the power!
