Chapter 244: A boring slam dunk contest

What kind of person Li Liang is, fans still have points in their hearts.

This guy has been the focus of attention since he joined the league, and the topic board basically relies on him to feed half of the reporters.

From scolding the boss, to the "kissing the ass" incident, to the various wonderful performances later, if he doesn't make some news, everyone will feel strange.

So the fans quickly reacted, he just didn't want to vote, he just wanted to pretend to be a wave!

There was a mixture of boos and cheers, but as the time came, the cheers overshadowed the boos all at once.

At this time, Li Liangcai threw the ball in his hand casually, and the ball drew a high arc in the air, and finally fell into the heart of the basket with a "swish".

There was a regretful "oh" sound at the scene, this guy could have thrown in!

Li Liang shook his head, thinking to himself, it is really easier to throw in than not to be able to enter.

Just now in his state, it was really not easy to deliberately miss, so he simply didn't vote.

Like a shark smelling blood, the reporter rushed towards Li Liang.

Facing the black and thick microphone in front of him, without waiting for the reporters to ask, Li Liang took the initiative: "I know what you want to ask, you want to know why I didn't shoot the last few balls, it's actually very simple, I don't want the record to be raised to too high all of a sudden." I think the people who are going to the three-point contest should be given some motivation to work hard, and not at the end of the day, the goal is just 'the same as Bruce Lee', and they should want to surpass me. “

"So will you continue to compete in the three-point contest and break your own record?"

"Of course." Li Liang nodded, isn't this nonsense, the record created by Lao Tzu himself, don't break it yourself, wait for others to break it?

It seems that the former pole vault superstar, the trapeze artist Bubka, has improved by 1 cm every time he breaks the world record, and then breaks the world record many times.

Li Liang gives others a chance, and he also gives himself a chance.

Needless to say, Li Liang's remarks quickly caused a sensation on the Internet.

It's too pretentious.

But it can't be helped, his three-point shot is really awesome.

The most admirable thing is his mentality, which can be so stable and so easy.

If you say you can enter, you can enter, and if you say you don't want to vote, you don't want to vote.

As for the secret, it's actually very simple, two words: system.

Of course, individual effort is also very important, so many three-point contests are not in vain.

In the three-point contest, Li Liang has completely achieved nothing outside his heart.

As long as you can shoot like you would in a training gym, there are still many players in the NBA who can make 25 hits.

But only Li Liang can use the scene of the three-point competition as a training hall.

A few minutes later, Li Liang came to the center of the court, and the host of the scene announced that Bruce Lee had become the three-point king of the 2013 All-Star Game!

"How do you feel about your three-point record, a great achievement?" The host has nothing to say.

Li Liang took the microphone and said, "This record won't last long, it's probably a year." ”

With that, the entire George Brown Center went crazy.

Bruce Lee is FLAG again!

Fans don't even want to watch the next slam dunk contest, they want to jump straight to 2014 and watch the three-point contest again.

Finally, Jack Jacobs, president and CEO of sports brand giant Foot locker, presented Li Liang with the trophy for the winner of the three-point contest.

This is Li Liang's first personal honorary trophy.

It's not a particularly remarkable honor, but it's commemorative.

At the moment when Li Liang picked up the trophy in cheers, the subtitles flashed in front of him:

[Congratulations, you have obtained the achievement "King of Thirds", and you will receive a reward: Skill zero second shot level is increased by 1, reaching LV3, which can greatly increase your shot speed. 】

Li Liang's eyes lit up, it turned out that participating in the three-point contest and winning the championship can improve his skills!

[Zero Second Shot] This skill is still very useful.

The last time he completed Maravich's mission, after being promoted to LV2, Li Liang obviously felt that he was faster.

This time he has improved again, and in the past, he could try to make a quick shot to avoid the interference of his opponent.

After winning the championship, his skills have been upgraded, and he has pretended to be forced, Li Liang's mood is very happy and comfortable.

He took the championship trophy back to the locker room, and in the aisle, he handed the trophy to Zhu Shu and asked her to keep it safe.

Wei Dazhi came up and took several photos of Li Liang.

This is the first time that a Chinese player has won an honor in the All-Star Game.

It should be said that it is still very commemorative.

In the aisle, Li Liang saw Owen and said, "Hey Carey, I said I would give you a pair of shoes, tell me what size you are wearing?" ”

Irving is a little embarrassed now, it was just a whim to ask for shoes at that time, he is a Nike player, how can he ask for Under Armour's shoes?

It's good now, I didn't expect this Li Liang to pretend to be so skillful.

He also thought that Li Liang had won the championship, and he forgot about it when he was happy.

Who knows that he remembers, and he still says this in front of many people, if this is spread and Nike knows, it will be a troublesome matter.

Owen thought to himself, if he knew that this guy was so good, it would be better to lose in the first round.

If he can't get the second place in this way, he can't ask for Li Liang's shoes.

Owen shook his head at Li Liang and said, "Congratulations, if you give me a pair of Nike shoes, I will be very happy." ”

Li Liang said: "What's so good about Nike's shoes, Under Armour's is good." Besides, the T-shirt you're wearing isn't still Adidas'. ”

Now Adidas is the jersey sponsor of the NBA, and the Adidas label is printed on the All-Star T-shirts.

"It's different, it's different."

Owen said, and then he snorted and ended the conversation with Li Liang.

It can't go on any longer, it's bad not to be brought into the pit.

……

After the three-point contest is over, it will be followed by the real highlight, the slam dunk contest.

It's just that in the past two years, the viewing of the slam dunk contest has become less and less.

For one, the big-name stars are no longer participating in the slam dunk contest.

Like Dr. J, Jordan, and Wilkins, they were all famous superstars.

Kobe Bryant also participated in a slam dunk contest when he was a rookie, but that game was really not very exciting.

The slam dunk contest reached its peak in 2000, with Vince Carter, Maddie, and Francis giving fans a spectacular slam dunk feast.

After that, the dunk contest went from bad to worse, although it relied on some gimmicks to create a lot of topics, such as Superman Cloak, Kryptonian, flying over the table, flying over the car, and so on.

But as far as the dunk itself goes, it's a bit lackluster.

There was even a situation where it took Nate Robinson 15 times to complete a dunk and win the championship.

The audience has long passed the emotional point, and every subsequent attempt makes people feel bored.

When Nate Robinson finally dunked in, the audience even thought "Oh, it's finally done." ”

For this reason, the slam dunk contest had to change the rules to limit the time you can attempt an action.

Even so, because of the lack of big names and the lack of innovation in the action, the slam dunk contest is getting worse and worse.

This year's slam dunk contest is still not much to watch, with Gerald Green, Terrence Rose, James White, Jeremy Evans, Bledsoe and Farid in action.

The only thing that feels like a surprise is James White.

This bouncing maniac, a player whose skill points are all on the dunk, was signed by the New York Knicks this year and is finally coming to the dunk contest.

He is 31 years old this year and is no longer young.

His starting dunk is the signature free-throw line dunk.

The scene was full of gimmicks, and 8 beautiful women in flight attendant uniforms were invited to stand in two rows to simulate an airstrip.

There is also a person dressed as an aviation commander, who conducts "command".

This is to show James White's ability to take off like a fighter.

But it's a pity that his first button was not deducted, which had a big impact on the impression score.

He buckled it in the second button, and he used both hands, but his posture was not stretched enough and was a little stiff.

James White scored just five nines for a total of 45 points.

Obviously, the celebrities in the referee's bench were not very satisfied with such a dunk, and the audience did not react much.

James White couldn't hide the loss on his face.

This is the third time he has participated in a national, influential slam dunk contest.

He used to be invincible in various small dunk competitions, but when it came to the real competition, he couldn't play.

The first time was in high school, when he participated in the slam dunk contest of the All-American McDonald's High School Star Game, and he lost to David Lee.

The second time was in college, where he lost to David Knoll in the NCAA dunk contest when he played very well in front of him and lost to David Knoll after a final dunk.

The third time is this time, at the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, the highest temple of dunk.

After the first dunk, the second dunk, James White tried the ultra-difficult maneuver of changing hands in the air with a large windmill.

Of course, he could do it, but when he got to the scene, he couldn't do it.

In the end, he had to change his moves, a mediocre dunk, only scored 32 points, and was eliminated.

It can only be said that White is a dunk genius, but when he needs to show his strength, he doesn't show it.

In the end, the championship of this slam dunk contest was won by Terrence Rose of the Toronto Raptors.

Li Liang sat on the sidelines and watched this somewhat boring slam dunk contest, and said in his heart When will Lao Tzu practice the dunk, I will also go to get a slam dunk contest champion to play.

Compared to the record-breaking three-point contest that just caused a sensation, the slam dunk contest is really a bit boring.
