Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Teams have finished their pre-All-Star breaks.

The Pelicans continued their winning streak, putting up an incredible 57-1 record before the All-Star break, topping the league rankings.

The Cavaliers also have an excellent 50-8 record in the East, second in the league behind the Pelicans.

In this way, the head coach of the East and West, or this year's James team and Tang Tian team, has been decided.

The head coach of the James team will be Tyronn Lue, and the head coach of the Tang Tian team will be Stevens.

Interestingly, both are also the head coaches of their respective captains.

This also makes fans look forward to the next All-Star Game.

Whether it is the favored James team that wins as desired, or the Tang Tian team creates surprises, it is all expected.

Fast forward to February 17, and the 2018 NBA All-Star Game kicked off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

This is also the third time since 2004 and 2011 that the NBA has hosted an All-Star Game here.

Both the Lakers and Clippers are now rebuilding on their own, and the All-Star Game is a rare event for Los Angeles fans.

The enthusiasm of the fans to participate in the event this year is very high.

This was evident from the attendance at the Masters and Rookie games on the first day.

You must know that these two events are essentially hot in nature.

By the time of the next day's event, the Staples Center was even fuller.

Not only the seats, but also the aisles and the fence on the second floor were full of fans.

Do they know that there is a slam dunk contest that will not lose the main game today, and it took a lot of money and effort to get in.

The first skill challenge is divided into big and small groups as in the past.

This year's small man group finally ended the domination of the big man group, with Louis Williams eventually beating Markkanen to claim the eventual title.

Brogdon played well yesterday to win the MVP of the rookie game, but lost to Williams in the semifinals today, which is a bit regrettable.

After the skill game, it was followed by a three-point match.

The Bulls' Devin Booker played well, and he eventually defeated the Mavericks' Harris and the favorite Klay Thompson to win the three-point contest.

This result also made fans talk about the No. 13 shooting guard on the hotline again.

However, this meme did not last long, because the last and most watched individual event will start soon.

When Carter, Gordon, LaVine, and Tang Tian appeared one after another, the Staples Center was already cheering unstoppably.

It's already an orgasm before it even starts.

The reaction on the scene is the best interpretation of this sentence.

"Finally, our most anticipated slam dunk contest is here."

On the commentator's bench, TNT's Barkley and Smith plus ESPN's Miller and Brin are ready to go.

Barkley used three finalities in a row to express everyone's feelings.

"I don't know how many perfect dunks I'll get tonight, but I'm sure it's going to be the most I've ever seen."

Brin agreed.

From the words, I can feel that this year's slam dunk contest, their media people are also looking forward to it.

Not far away, in the judges' seat, Webb, Dr. J, these legendary buckles will be invited to the scene as judges of the competition.

O'Neill, who was supposed to be sitting in the commentary seat, was also on the judges' bench.

It is said that this is O'Neill's own strong request.

And there's another thing that's different from the last two years.

Because the fan-based system was not so popular, this year's format was changed back to being scored by the judges, including the preliminaries and finals.

This change has also been warmly welcomed by the fans.

After Tang Tian entered, he sat on the sidelines and chatted with Butler on the side.

The order of appearance in the slam dunk contest has been previously determined by lottery.

Carter first, Gordon second, LaVine third, Don Tian fourth.

Tang Tian is the last, and this is also the best order of appearance for him.

For example, he can sit leisurely on the sidelines right now and watch the other three dunk first.

The game started immediately, and when Carter took off his training uniform and began to warm up, the scene was already ringing with layers of cheers.

Carter is the youth of many fans.

Now Carter is standing on the ring of the slam dunk contest again, as if they were going back to their youth.

I can't describe that feeling.

Only cheers and shouts can be cathartic.

And even more rarely, Carter wore the number 15 jersey he wore in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest.

This definitely brought back all the memories of the fans.

Carter took the ball and was ready from beyond the three-point line, and the scene quickly fell silent as all eyes were on the court.

"He's coming, guys, he's coming!"

Barkley shouted excitedly from the commentary booth.

There was only his voice at the scene.

Carter rushed inside with the ball, took off three meters from the basket, and began to spin as he jumped, pulling the ball down.

This action is so familiar to the fans that they can't help but shout.

360° turn windmill!

Carter's most classic slam dunk move!

It was also his slam dunk that killed the game at the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest!

When this action came out, the cheers of the fans at the scene had exploded.

Although Carter has known this action after it was well known, many players have also reproduced this action in the slam dunk contest.

But I have to say that only Carter has the most elegant, stretching and beautiful finish.

That's the action made for him!

"Vince! Vince! ”

A large number of fans chanted Carter's name in unison.

It's really a feeling.

On the judges' bench, five judges gave scores.

Ten points for all.

The first dunk of this year's slam dunk contest is a perfect score!

Tang Tian, as an opponent, also stood up and applauded Carter.

The significance of this dunk is greater than its difficulty, and it is worth 50 points.

The second to take the field was Gordon.

As the defending champion, he looks confident.

For the first button, he chose the back buckle of the lever after the baseline run.

When it was just deducted, the audience's reaction was average.

But slow-motion replays showed that Gordon was pulling the ball behind his head and then to the bottom of his feet.

It is equivalent to pulling the ball in the air three times, showing the ability to stay in the air to the fullest.

And the contrast between the beast-like body and the light movement has a great visual impact.

However, when the final score came out, the judges only gave a total score of 48 points.

It can be seen that the four major dunk kings are competing on the same stage, except for Carter's first dunk, they are very cautious in giving points to other dunks.

The third was LaVine, who chose to throw the ball from the baseline for his first dunk, and then switched hands for a dunk behind his catch.

It was a difficult move, but Ravan did it with ease.

Not only is it the visual impact of the dunk, but LaVine's calm expression after the dunk is also a plus.

The judges were not stingy with such a dunk and gave the second 50 points of this year's dunk contest.

Although the scoring criteria are already stricter than the average slam dunk contest, there are still 2 perfect scores for 3 dunks.

The level of this slam dunk contest is truly unparalleled.

And at this time, after the three people were deducted, there was only Tang Tian left who appeared on the stage.

By the time he got up, the cheers from the audience were overwhelming.

The popularity of the first person in the league.
