Richard looked at Bryant speechlessly......

How low is Kobe's EQ, it's like a powder keg, it will explode at a moment.

Big Ben and the others didn't think there was anything, but they thought this upright young man was very interesting......

Brad Miller stopped smiling, looked at Kobe Bryant and said, "At the beginning, I thought that you kid was purely lucky, and the coach looked down on ......"

"Now it seems that I have discovered why the coach values you!"

Big Ben and the others looked at Miller curiously, they actually wanted to know the reason, strength? It seems unlikely, because the Lakers got Kidders, and the strength is also quite good, anyway, it will not be worse than Kobe......

Even Richard looked at Miller curiously......

"Maybe it's because your kid is too similar to the coach's personality, neither of you can suffer a little loss, and if you suffer a little loss, you have to get back to the field immediately!" Miller said with a grin.

Everyone laughed, Richard was speechless, what do you mean......

How do you say that you seem to be a person who will be repaid.

Well, I really seem to be a person who will repay myself......

"Miller, am I like this in your mind?! Come, tell me what image I am in your hearts! Richard asked, rolling his eyes.

……

"Demons?"

"Crazy?"

Kobe Bryant stood in the crowd and muttered quietly......

But his muttering was heard by everyone, and Richard looked at Kobe Bryant with feigned anger.

"What did you kid say?!"

Kobe Bryant was stunned, how could he say what was in his heart......

"Punish you for 10,000 shots after All-Star Weekend!"

"One less time, I will deduct Zhang Weiping's salary of 100 US dollars! You'll see for yourself......"

Kobe Bryant is going to cry now, what kind of sin are he doing, what are you going to mumble about, now it's okay, he directly let his year-old friend Zhang Weiping suffer an unjustified disaster......

Zhang Weiping, who stayed in Portland, sneezed, "Huh? Who's missing me......"

……

The first day of All-Star Weekend is over, and the second night is a miscellaneous event, including tricks, three-pointers, and a slam dunk contest.

Richard instructed Silafayette and a few people to come to the scene tomorrow to meet with him.

Kobe Bryant is definitely coming because he's going to the slam dunk contest tomorrow night......

Silafayette nodded, and generally guessed Richard's intentions, and smiled and agreed.

They are also looking forward to this day......

……

At half past eight on Saturday night, the slam dunk contest has begun.

There are a total of six people participating in this slam dunk contest, unlike the later slam dunk contest with only four people.

Among them are some players that Richard is more familiar with......

Like Michael Finley, like Ray Allen, like Bob Sulla......

For example, Kobe Bryant, a rookie on the Trail Blazers......

Of course, Brent Barry, the dunk king of the last slam dunk contest, is also one of them.

In fact, in this slam dunk contest in history, rookie Kobe Bryant did participate in it and won the honor of slam dunk king......

However, at that time, the 96th slam dunk king Barry Jr. did not participate, and this time he participated, it is unknown whether Kobe Bryant can continue to win the dunk king.

……

Soon, the slam dunk contest entered the final stage.

Barry Jr. and Kobe Bryant qualified for the finals, one was the last slam dunk king, and the other was the normal history dunk king, and the dunk strength of these two was enough to ensure that they entered the finals.

Kobe Bryant came on the court first, and he scored a total of 87 points in the last round of dunks, which was less than Barry Jr.'s 91 points, so he came first.

After coming on the court, Bryant made the first attempt to hit the bottom corner line and hit the back dunk under the basket.

For this dunk, the fans at the scene did not have much emotional fluctuations, and there was really nothing too much to watch......

Richard was also a little speechless, this kind of dunk action is actually nothing to watch, at least Richard has seen many big scenes of dunks in later generations, and he can't see any explosions......

In the eyes of later generations of fans, this slam dunk contest is actually just a relatively bright star, after all, there are Ray Allen, Finley, Kobe and others participating......

But if you really want to talk about the degree of viewing, it's actually really average.

It is precisely because of this slam dunk contest that there is nothing to watch, which led to the NBA canceling the slam dunk contest in 98, and the All-Star was not held in 99 because of the shutdown......

Kobe Bryant also won the nickname of "The Last Emperor" in a slam dunk contest in the past two years.

……

Although Kobe Bryant's dunk was average, the referee still gave a good score of 44 points, and generally in the finals, unless there is a mistake, the referee generally will not give a very low score.

Next it was Barry's turn......

Barry Jr. did not use the free throw line to jump and dunk this time, but took a step in front of the free throw line and came with a 360-degree turn and dunk.

This dunk is much more difficult than Kobe's bottom line back dunk just now, and the referee gave a high score of 48 points.

……

Kobe Bryant's face was iron-blue, he naturally knew the relationship between Barry Jr. and Silafayette, so he came this time to prove that he was no worse than Silafayette's players......

But in the first round of dunking, his results were not as good as Barry Jr.

And in the finals, the first dunk was a lot less than Barry Jr.......

This made Kobe Bryant very uncomfortable.

……

Bryant's second attempt was a 180-degree crotch change dunk.

The difficulty is not small, except that it does not reflect any good sense of stagnation, and the referee gave a score of 48 points.

Next is the finale dunk of Barry, if he can score more than 44 points in this dunk, then he will be the dunk king of this year, and he is also the first player to dunk king after Jordan!

……

Little Barry took off the training clothes he had been wearing, and Little Barry was wearing training clothes from beginning to end of this year's slam dunk contest!

After taking off their training clothes, Big Ben and others on the sidelines immediately cheered......

Boilermaker's uniform!

Under the training uniform of Barry Jr., he is wearing the jersey of a Purdue University boilermaker!

The halfcourt line started dribbling, and then rushed straight to the basket, and you don't have to think about it to know that this is another free throw line jumping dunk!

"Boom!"

Win it once, don't try it a second time!

Even the starting distance of Little Barry this time is farther than the action of winning the championship last time......

The referee on the sidelines immediately scored a perfect score of 50 points!

The dunk king was directly pocketed by Barry Jr. again, becoming the second man to dunk king after Jordan!

The point is that he's white......

Kobe Bryant is also convinced to lose, this kind of action, he can't do it anyway at the moment.

Big Ben and the others cheered wildly, as if they were more excited than winning the dunk king, and Richard also stood up and applauded Barry Jr.'s performance......

Maybe because of Barry Jr.'s excellent dunk, the NBA will change its mind about canceling the '98 slam dunk contest?

So Kobe doesn't need to be nicknamed "The Last Emperor......

Richard thought with a smile in his heart.

After the game, the award was relatively simple, that is, the method of giving the slam dunk king trophy to Barry Jr., and then the reporters began to interview.

But as soon as he finished winning the trophy, Barry Jr. directly squeezed away the reporter and ran in the direction of Richard and others.

"Lad, take ......"

I saw that Barry Jr. directly threw out the trophy he had just gotten in his hand and threw it to Kobe Bryant, who was standing next to Richard.
