Compared to the NBA slam dunk contest that followed, the 1984 slam dunk contest was pretty simple in every way.

First of all, the process of the game is very tight, and the players are not given more opportunities to try dunks, but they all have to pass at one time.

Secondly, there is no gimmick, and the players are arranged by the staff to line up one by one to dunk on the court.

The reputation is hype, and there is not much pomp and circumstance.

That year's slam dunk contest, there was only one pomp, and it was about to happen to Julius Lean.

The contestants in the slam dunk contest are still star-studded, with Michael Cooper of the Lakers, Larry Nance of the Suns, Darrell Griffiths of the Jazz, Edgar Jones of the Spurs, Ralph Sampson of the Rockets, Orlando Woolridge of the Bulls, Drexler of the Trail Blazers, Wilkins of the Hawks, and Irving.

Of course, this year Michael Jordan hasn't made it to the league, and the new flyers won't shine until next year.

The rules are simple, each person is deducted three times, 50 points are scored, and the top four advance to the next round.

Then the top four go to the semi-finals, also with three chances each, with the top two advancing to the finals.

In the end, the two finalists face off three times to determine the champion.

In addition to the good-looking deduction of this competition, it is also very important to be able to deduct and deduct accurately.

Historically, Irving lost the championship because he didn't dunk.

And the reason why Larry Nance won the championship is because he played very consistently and did not make mistakes.

Li Liang did a warm-up on the sidelines, adapted to this new body, and jumped, this bounce is really good.

Although Owen is 34 years old, his body is still very well maintained.

You know, until the age of 42, Owen was still able to dunk Abdul-Jabbar with one arm in the charity heads-up match - Abdul-Jabbar was 45 years old at the time.

In the first round, Li Liang completed three dunks in a decent manner, ensuring that he would dunk every time.

Irving's hands are really huge, which allows him to stretch his body as much as he wants when he dunks without worrying about the ball dropping.

Coupled with Irving's popularity, he easily passed the first round and reached the semifinals.

While Samps, Drexler and others were eliminated, and Wilkins, Griffiths, Nance and Irving were promoted.

There was a bit of a hiccup in the semi-finals.

Wilkins was beautiful on his first two dunks, but on his third, he scored only 33 points on a dunk that cut into the baseline and slid across the basket.

The crowd booed, and the referee reversed the decision and gave Wilkins 41 points.

However, 41 points did not allow Wilkins to reach the finals, and Nance and Irving performed even better.

Li Liang didn't make any tricks in the semifinals, he used the dunk plan in Irving's memory, the reflexive dunk that he threw and dunked, and the backdunk that slid across the basket with one hand for both hands, which also ensured that Irving entered the finals, and the opponent in the finals was Larry Nance.

Nance played very consistently, and every dunk was done beautifully, so the total score was a little higher than Irving.

So, Julius Learon was the first to appear.

At this time, Li Liang knew that he needed to come up with something different.

The first ball was relatively simple, Li Liang held the ball and rushed to the basket, then jumped two steps inside the free throw line, then raised the ball with one hand, made a 360-degree movement in the air, and then dunked the ball into the basket!

This is Stansberry's "Lady Liberty's Spin of Liberty" dunk at the 1986 Slam Dunk Contest.

And this kind of action allows Owen to complete, more stretched, and more staggered.

Owen got a perfect score for this goal, 50 points!

Because of this kind of slam dunk action of turning in the air, it was rarely used before.

It's very fresh for everyone.

Freshness is very important in the slam dunk contest.

The entire arena was set on fire at once, and the slam dunk contest entered a climax.

If Owen is the only one who contributes a great performance, it will certainly not be enough.

Nance immediately gave the classic move, he cut in from the baseline and jumped, and the one-arm reverse buckle!

This dunk is similar to the first dunk in his game, with a little more turn in the air and a little more difficulty.

The ball scored a high score of 48 points, and the game was full of suspense all of a sudden.

Next is the second dunk that is going to be fatal, and Li Liang decides to play some new tricks.

He saw Bill Russell, who was sitting on the sidelines as a guest host - Bill Sr. was not a coach or a manager, and came to the NBA to partner with Rick Barry as a guest host.

It has to be said that this is a mistake.

Both of them have bad tempers, and Barry is still a foul-mouthed king.

Together, they were really stones that fell into the dung pit, and they stinked and hard.

But Li Liang didn't care, he went over and whispered a few words to Russell, Russell looked at Li Liang and replied, "Okay, meet you." ”

Li Liang knew that he could make conditions with NPCs during the mission.

Maybe Russell in history would never say yes, but in the mission, he could.

The curiosity of the audience was aroused, and they saw Russell standing up from the sidelines, holding a stool in his hand.

He brought the stool to the basket and sat down with his back to the basket.

The fans at the scene were full of curiosity, and even the referee and host were whispering, what is this for?

Li Liang walked up to Russell and handed the ball to Russell.

"I'll rush over later, don't be afraid, just throw the ball up, it won't hit you."

Li Liang is going to complete a slam dunk that flies over Russell!

Although Russell was seated, it wasn't particularly difficult, but this was the first slam dunk contest.

Everyone didn't expect that they could get a tool man to enter the market, and the key is that this tool man is still a mountain-like Russell.

Dick Stockton, the commentator at the scene, realized something and said, "It looks like Julius Owen is going to fly over the Grand Canyon!" ”

Denver is in Colorado, and the most famous view here is the Grand Canyon.

Li Liang was already standing near the center circle, ready to start sprinting towards the basket.

Russell is still quite nervous, what should he do if he is going to be hit and killed?

What can I do? The system restarts.

Li Liang began to speed up, running, he was confident in himself—no, in Owen's bounce.

Jump!

In fact, the jump distance was not far, Russell threw the ball into the air at the right time, Li Liang grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, his legs were slightly bent, just past Russell's head, and then an aerial relay dunked the ball into the basket!

The scene was jubilant!

Irving wears a red 76ers jersey tonight, while Denver's home color is also red.

This is just the second deduction, and Li Liang got another 50 points.

No problem, Li Liang has decided this key.

The pressure is on Larry Nance's side, who has fully developed into a supporting role, and he knows it will be difficult to overtake Irving.

Because Owen still has a big move that he didn't put at the end.

Nance completed a simple, powerful dunk with little reaction on the floor.

It was too peaceful, and the score was only 33 points.

Now, everyone is just looking forward to Irving's final dunk – a free throw line dunk from the free throw line!

This is Irving's repertoire from his time in the ABA, and it represents the limit of horizontal jump dunks in basketball.

In the 70s and 80s, when basketball entertainment was not yet developed, television broadcasting was not yet popular, and video technology was even more backward.

A lot of people have only heard of free-throw line dunks and haven't seen them with their own eyes.

When Li Liang walked onto the court and began to walk from the free throw line to the opposite side, measuring the distance and steps, the applause and cheers in the arena had already sounded.

Li Liang still had a trace of apprehension in his heart, afraid that this action would not be done well.

But when I think about it, Irving has done this action countless times in history, and he also succeeded in the slam dunk contest, so what is not good about it?

Li Liang is a person, other characteristics are difficult to say, and the self-confidence of the mystery is really historic.

Perhaps, it is this kind of self-confidence that has brought him all the way to where he is today.

Li Liang started the starting sprint, and he accelerated like a fighter jet.

The hardest part of jumping from the free throw line to dunk is not the distance, but the pace.

How to jump as fast as possible when you step on the free throw line.

If you don't do it right, you'll lose all your efforts.

Li Liang felt the wind whistling in his ears, and he didn't know if it was an illusion or the feeling brought by the cheers.

The step point is very accurate, just on the free throw line, jumping with one foot!

Owen's bounce power was amazing, and Li Liang felt like he was really flying.

It's a really good feeling.

As he fell, he stretched out his arms and dunked the ball into the basket!

The arena was boiling instantly, and it was a great slam dunk for the fans on the spot!

The cheers were many, much louder than the cheers at the Barclays Center tonight.

Here Li Liang felt the purest basketball enthusiasm, as blazing as a flame.

50 points, 50 points without dispute.

Li Liang Owen waved to the audience.

Whether or not he's ever won the key to the slam dunk contest, Irving is a generation of flyers.

And from this year onwards, new flyers will arrive.
