This year's slam dunk contest is as it has been trending in recent years, with no big stars participating, but young people who want to make a difference on this stage.

The last superstar of the slam dunk contest was Dwight Howard, whose superman cape, along with Nate Robinson's Kryptonite, became the last bright memory.

This year's contestants include Plumlee, Antetokounmpo, Oladipo and Zach LaVine.

A 7-foot white center like Plumlee came to the slam dunk contest and basically made up the motions.

After all, in the slam dunk contest, the taller you are, the more you lose.

Like Howard who won the slam dunk contest that year, it didn't rely on action, but more on Superman's gimmick.

The rules of the competition are also different from last year.

Last year, in order to carry out reform and change, in addition to a competition between the east and the west, he also conducted online voting to select the slam dunk champion.

After everyone is deducted, what's the point of going to the online selection?

Is it to give the results on the spot, take the hot iron, and think that the president will be elected?

So, this year's competition process has changed back to tradition.

The NBA has made a lot of reforms to the All-Star Game format, and basically the more it is changed, the more no one watches it, after all, fans don't watch the rules, they are the stars.

As expected, Plumlee was eliminated early, along with Antetokounmpo.

The final became a battle between LaVine and Oladipo.

In the end, LaVine was obviously superior and won the championship of the slam dunk contest with two dunks and 94 points.

In the preliminaries, LaVine scored 50 points on both dunks, which can be said to be quite eye-catching.

Although LaVine is not a superstar, his performance in dunks has added a lot to the dunk contest.

Li Liang watched the end of several games, and thought to himself, it seems that the slam dunk contest may still rely on Lao Tzu to save it.

He thought that he would practice hard for a while, improve his physical fitness, bounce, core strength or something, and one day he would be able to participate in the slam dunk contest.

If there is a day, people will definitely question how Li Liang's genes are made.

Other people's exercise is exercise, and your exercise is evolution.

But what Li Liang didn't expect was that his first slam dunk contest would come so quickly.

……

After leaving the Barclays Center after the game, many of the players were ready to go for fun in the night in New York.

The All-Star Game is very popular with the players when it is held in a place like New York, and the wine is always indispensable.

Similarly, for example, the World Cup, every time it is held, the local service industry will usher in a vigorous spring breeze.

Li Liang is not interested, he is not interested, who asked her to bring her agent with him?

It doesn't matter, anyway, I went back to the hotel to sleep and went into a dream to find old Bill to train.

After entering the system, click on the mission and come to the training center.

Li Liang saw Bill Russell standing in the middle of the field waiting for him.

However, he did not wear a jersey or a coach's outfit, but a suit.

Li Liang was very strange, "Are we going to do any strange training today?" ”

Russell stepped forward and said, "Bruce, do you think your ability is rising too slowly?" ”

Li Liang thought to himself,, you all know this, are you reading the mind of the system?

It's normal to think about it, this black technology system is attached to himself, not to mention mind reading, it is estimated that he has already built a large database that belongs to him, and he even knows how many milliliters of fart he puts every day.

"yes, that's what I think, Bill, can you ...... Don't be so cruel? ”

Li Liang is not a center after all, and although Russell is a center in the 60s, his physical fitness is really historic.

Even if he were to be transferred from the 60s to the current NBA, he would be a very good defensive center.

The key is that Russell is really smart, and some of Li Liang's small tricks have been seen through by him.

Seeing Li Liang say this, Russell smiled and said, "Today is a good opportunity to increase your ability value with one, I don't know if you dare to accept this challenge." ”

Li Liang said: "Cut, what does Lao Tzu dare not do, it's just a task." ”

Russell nodded and said, "Then you accept the next task, then get ready." ”

[Mission: The first dunk king, time: January 28, 1984, location: McNichols Stadium, Denver, USA, mission requirements: Replace Julius Irving on the stage, win the first NBA dunk contest in 1984, task reward: up/dunk ability +10, confrontation up/dunk ability +10, task difficulty: normal. 】

Li Liang was dumbfounded and wanted him to participate in the slam dunk contest?

Before he could react, the scene around him changed, and it had changed from a training hall to the red floor of the McNichols Arena in Denver, and the surrounding noise was deafening.

To be honest, the NBA game scene in the 80s was much noisier than the current NBA.

Because before Stern began to "gentrify" in 1984, basketball was a street and working-class sport, much like football.

In a football-mad country like the UK, football is for the working class, and the middle and upper classes should go to tennis and equestrianism.

The same was true of NBA basketball at the beginning, and the earliest prototype of basketball leagues was played between factories and enterprises.

It's just that in the 1980s, there was a division in development, and basketball and football were commercialized, but football still maintained a rougher nature because of the huge volume inertia and extremely fragmented competition.

The NBA in the United States has become more and more refined and heavily makeup, relatively speaking, a lot less wild and primitive.

Li Liang fully felt this wildness during the mission, and the feeling of coming to McNichols Gymnasium was re-infused into his physical senses.

It was the last All-Star Game before the Stern era.

After Stern's arrival, NBA basketball will be tied to the cart of commercialization, marketing, and globalization, and will be killed on the road to expansion.

The All-Star Game is one of the most important weapons of commercialization.

And before Stern arrived, the NBA's All-Stars were actually dying.

The players don't like it, the fans don't like it, and like this slam dunk contest, it's one of the few decisions that can turn the game around — and of course, the venture was copied from the ABA.

The ABA held its first slam dunk contest in 1976 in Denver.

The player who won the championship at that time was none other than Dr. J, Julius Owen.

After 8 years, Owen's iconic blast head has become a plain flat head.

The great first-generation flyer in the history of professional basketball is at the end of his career.

And his participation in the slam dunk contest is highly anticipated, even if he is 34 years old this year, Irving can still fly.

It's just a pity that in the finals of the slam dunk contest, he only scored 25 points because of the second dunk fly, and unfortunately lost the game and did not win the championship of the dunk contest.

It can only be said that the rules of the slam dunk contest at that time were too rigid, and only one success was allowed, and multiple attempts were not allowed.

Otherwise, according to the later rules, like Nate Robinson, who can even count more than a dozen attempts, can get the feeling, Irving would have won the championship a long time ago.

And Li Liang's task this time is to ensure that Owen gets this long-awaited championship.

But Owen can fly, can you Li Liang fly?

Li Liang observed himself and found that he already had Owen's body!

That means he's manipulating Owen into the game.

Fortunately, this system is still quite smart, and I know that if I go directly to Li Liang, it is estimated that I will not be able to pass the preliminaries.

It doesn't matter, since you have Owen's ability to dunk, how to dunk and how to dunk are full of tricks, it depends on Li Liang.

As Li Liang, who has the memory of the slam dunk contest in later generations, this is really a piece of cake.

Besides, Owen only made one mistake, and if he didn't make a mistake, in fact, that championship would have been his.

"Are you all ready? Okay, come on, the first one, Cooper......"

The referees on the sidelines began to let the players take turns for the preliminaries.
