Chapter 0603 - Take-off Space City! A new level of prestige! (5700 words chapter!) First update! )
Houston has been blown up.
The Western Army players who took the lead in the slam dunk contest were confused with a capital letter......
Bledsoe, Faryid, and Jeremy Evans knew very well that the cheers were definitely not for them.
“LIN————YI!!”
“LIN————YI!!”
“LIN————YI!!”
Bledsoe, nicknamed Bloodcloth, glanced at Griffin, a Clippers teammate sitting on the sidelines, and at this moment, Bledsoe finally understood why Griffin looked at him with an eye that bordered on pity when he decided to participate in the slam dunk contest.
It's so suffocating!
Jeremy Evans, who won the championship in Orlando last year, was inexplicably aggrieved, knowing that when he won last year, it was not cheers but boos...... Although Evans knew the boo was not for himself, he .......
It's so suffocating X2!
Faried, affectionately known as the half-orc by Phoenix fans, touched his head with his hand, what a strange, isn't Houston half of our Western team's home court?
Why are there so many traitors here tonight?
James White and Gerard Green, who appeared with Lin Yi, were in a broken mood, because no one likes to be a supporting role, but at this moment, they are simply Lin Yi's little followers......
In front of the TV, Maddie, who was watching the live broadcast of the Houston All-Star Game with Da Yao, smiled sleepily, heh, you know now why my brother didn't want to participate in the slam dunk contest, right?
Because it's not an egg!
TNT TV, Barkley was not afraid to prick the hearts of the other contestants, and "Fliggy" cheered loudly: "All go home!" It's over, it's over! ”
Looking at Sherif who was dancing excitedly on the sidelines, O'Neal, who wanted to be black, gave up this plan, after all, the shark was sitting back and forth at this time......
It's Lin Mi!
"It's like you've stepped back in time to the beginning of the century." Duncan said with a smack of his mouth.
Kobe smiled and touched Duncan's head, "Tim, I'm afraid tonight is far more pompous than ever." ”
James and Wade on the side can only be regarded as small characters when they talk about this topic, after all, they were still young when Carter participated in the slam dunk contest......
It's just that listening to Kobe Bryant's words, James suddenly thought, if I participate in the slam dunk contest, can I redeem my declining popularity?
……
In the center of the court at the Toyota Center, the host walked straight to Lin Yi, "Hey, Lin, can you tell us about your ideas tonight?" ”
The other five contestants who were directly ignored by the host all had a feeling of beeping Griffin at this time, and everyone was holding back their strength, thinking about how to pull Lin Yi off the horse for a while.
Lin Yi looked up at the ceiling of the Toyota Center, obviously I am so modest, why do people always want to harm me?
Even if Lin Yi didn't want to make enemies, there was no way, because Houston was already crazy......
And the vast majority of the fans tonight are coming for him.
Since it is not easy to be modest, after pondering for two seconds, Lin Yi replied to the host: "I think you should interview the other contestants first." ”
The host was stunned, and Lin Yi continued: "You can ask which of them wants to take the second." ”
it!
Hearing Lin Yi's answer, the Toyota Center cheered one after another, and Scarlett Johansson was too excited when she got up to applaud, and the rolling picture almost made the photographer squirt blood to death.
In foreign countries, it is useless to be blindly modest, this kind of occasion for the show, where does it come from if you don't show your popularity?
As a qualified successor to Bird, Lin Yi suddenly understood why Bird was so fond of pretending to be forced back then...... Because even if you don't take the initiative to pretend, there will always be someone who will force you to pretend.
It's a pity that Bird doesn't know Lin Yi's thoughts, otherwise Bird would definitely tell Lin Yi, in fact...... I really just wanted to pretend to be forced.
"It's so arrogant! This answer is too arrogant! Before the game even started, Lin had already taken off his sneakers and slapped them in the faces of the other contestants! Kenny Smith stood up and said.
"But I like it! GO! Let other players see what a dunk is! Kenny Smith said excitedly.
Clay, who had just won the three-point contest, bumped into Lin Yi's chest when Lin Yi temporarily returned to the sidelines to rest, Clay looked up at Lin Yi, "Boss, it's so cool, listen, I'm going to do the same when I participate in the three-point contest next year." ”
Lin Yi touched Clay's head, how could he feel like he had taught a bad child?
What should Lin Yineng do?
He's desperate too!
Hell, the whole Houston was cheering for him, and he couldn't be stupid enough to say that I had everything ready, right?
Since you're here for the championship tonight, don't give yourself a way out.
……
In the center of the court, leading the game tonight is Gerard Green, the winner of the '07 Slam Dunk Contest.
In fact, to be fair, the overall strength of the contestants in the 13-year slam dunk contest is not weak.
Bloodcloth and orcs have staged brutal dunks in their usual games, Green's jumping ability is also historic, and James White has performed a 180-degree turn dunk at the free throw line in practice.
It's just that when Green came out to dunk...... There are still many fans chanting Lin Yi's name at the Toyota Center.
GTMD Lin Yi!
Green would love to say out loud that I'm also the champion of the slam dunk contest, okay!
Green, who was holding his breath, with the help of teammate George, completed a baseline shot with both hands and folded the reflexive back buckle!
When this dunk was dunked, Green's head had already gone beyond the rim, full of power, and after some serious thinking by the five judges, everyone gave 10 points except for Olajuwon, who gave 9 points.
Originally, Yao Minghui was one of the judges in this slam dunk contest, but because Da Yao has not retired yet...... So former rocket legend Francis replaced Yao Ming and became a judge.
The host interviewed Olajuwon, and Da Meng said that he would not give 10 points until he saw Lin Yi's dunk.
This answer undoubtedly made the pressure on Lin Yi's shoulders heavier...... Lin Yi suddenly had a feeling that the whole world was poisoning himself.
"Why won't this be milked to death?" Lin Yi thought to himself.
Green, who failed to score 50 points, was slightly dissatisfied, you know, his dunk was originally used to press the bottom of the box in the finals, and Green, who made a big move in advance, didn't believe it, Lin Yi's dunk in the preliminaries could be better than him.
The second dunk of the night will be James White of the Eastern team, White invited ten flight attendants to stand in two rows when he played, and Barkley complained: "Is this what it means to open the boarding door?" ”
As a bouncing monster, James White's jumping ability is undoubted, but it's a pity that the psychological quality of this thing is not good, and his dunk in training is far more wonderful than the dunk he performed in this slam dunk contest.
So...... A dead pig like Lin Yi is not afraid of boiling water, and he is really suitable for participating in this kind of competition.
On the court, James White started to run from the bottom line, and then crossed it with the blessings of the flight attendants, this ball was not the same as Lin Yi's memory, because James White successfully dunked!
It's a two-handed dunk from the free-throw line!
The big screen at the scene gave a close-up of Vince Carter on the sidelines for the first time, because in the 2000 slam dunk contest, Carter also performed such a dunk, but White's dunk was obviously farther away than Carter's at that time.
However, in recent years, the NBA has been aesthetically tired of free-throw line dunks, so even if White's dunk was successful, he only scored 45 points.
And after White's dunk was completed, the Houston scene once again reached **!
Spicy man, he's coming!
At this time, Stern in the stands once again complained about the format of this year's individual competition.
Because from the perspective of attracting attention, Lin Yi's last appearance is more beneficial to the effect of the show.
But this year's rule is that the eastern troops will detain first, and then the western troops will detain ...... In Stern's opinion, the format was stupid.
Straight to the point.
When Lin Yi was about to play, there were no more fans sitting in the Toyota Center, and everyone took out their mobile phones...... At this moment, the whole stadium is like a vast galaxy, twinkling and shining!
"Oh roar! Let's see what kind of way Lin will end tonight's game! Barkley blows.
Kobe Bryant and Duncan have left their seats on the sidelines, and many All-Star players from the East and West followed these two bigwigs silently on the sidelines, while Klay grabbed a camera and crouched in the bottom corner......
Lin Yi's first dunk didn't have so many bells and whistles, and he stood outside the 3-point line sleepily wearing the Knicks No. 44 jersey.
And as Lin Yi threw the basketball forward, everyone's hearts hung in their throats.
The pomp and circumstance of Dallas and Los Angeles are still fresh in people's minds!
After a year of absence, what kind of performance will Lin Yi bring to the fans?
One step, two steps, like the steps of death!
Lin Yi's steps were very steady, he jumped with all his strength, and while catching the ball with one arm in the air, he turned lightly, and just when people thought Lin Yi was going to emulate Vince Carter, the basketball strangely changed hands from his hips!
Bang Dang——!
The basket of the Toyota Center is trembling!
After landing, Lin Yi did not smile, and he had the spirit of being the first in the world of labor and capital.
Barkley excitedly threw away the microphone in his hand, "I say it again!" ”
"Let's go home!"
"Let's all go home!"
BOOM——!!
Olajuwon, Francis, Tomjanovic, Drexler, and Mutombo hugging their heads together, do they still need to be scored?
Lin Yi's buckle has made tonight's Space City completely take off!
Green, who scored 49 points on the first dunk, had his jaw dropped to the ground.
In terms of difficulty, Lin Yi's buckle Green can also be done.
But...... Lin Yifei's sense of beauty in the air, the sense of staying in the air, and the sense of power that seemed to pull the basket down when he dunked at the end, Green knew that he would definitely not be able to do it.
Green and White looked at each other...... Both of them had a feeling of regret.
Why sign up for this year's slam dunk contest?
The generals of the Western Army, who had not yet appeared on the stage, looked at each other, and Faried finally understood why there were so many traitors in Houston tonight.
Because this half-orc wanted to rush up and hug Lin Yi and kiss him wildly.
Too...... Awesome, awesome!
Lin Yi, who pretended to be forced, breathed a sigh of relief, because the dunk action he prepared tonight was not successful every time in training.
But then again, nothing in this world is 100% certain.
Without a skin thicker than the walls, it would be impossible to survive in this cruel alliance.
The entire Toyota Center was chanting 50 points, 50 points!
The five judges did not disappoint the fans, and everyone gave them perfect marks in unison.
……
The suspense of the rest of the game has been lost.
Lin's second dunk was also the brainchild of a streetball expert, who asked Scarlett Johansson to help him get the ball at the free-throw line, and then started running from the baseline himself.
This dunk is a turn and a dunk under the crotch one step before the free throw line!
In terms of difficulty, there are many players in the NBA who can do it, but after gaining weight, Lin Yi has a kind of dominating spirit when he dunks, and the five judges gave full marks again!
"He's the new dunk god!" The excited Barkley was already incoherent.
On the court, Lin Yi, who completed the dunk, was a little apprehensive.
In fact, this dunk was the simplest dunk he prepared, but Lin Yi found himself dead, because when he grabbed the ball with one hand, Lin Yi almost caught the other two balls......
Sister widow, it's really fierce!
Lin Yi, who deducted 50 points twice, entered the final on behalf of the East Army, and at this time, Stern wanted to flip the table, because judging from the performance of the preliminaries, whether Green or White entered the final, it would make the final more exciting.
However, this is a painful format......
"Which bastard suggested this!" What Stern hates most now is why he had the brains to agree to such a suggestion......
The staff on the side trembled and said, "It's Adam......"
Stern looked up at the sky, "Oh, let's change the rules back next year." ”
Stern plans to remind his successor privately that it is good to be creative, but Xia Jiba's messy changes can easily affect the original effect of the show.
……
In the finals, Jazz teenager Jeremy Evans appeared under huge pressure, but he failed to complete the first dunk time to zero, while Lin Yi easily ran from the baseline and won the house again with a hip change reflexive dunk.
Lin Yi felt that Laven's way in the future was completely blocked by himself, poor Laven...... Before he took the stage, the idea was "plagiarized" by Lin Yi.
In the final dunk, knowing that he could not defend the title, Evans relaxed his mind and completed a windmill dunk under the crotch, which was very difficult, and the fans in Houston also applauded Evans's dunk.
Although hailed as the most watery dunk contest champion in history, Evans still has some strength, and he finally felt a little comfort this year after being booed all the way last year.
Evans: It's a little uncomfortable, I don't want to talk!
Lin Yi's last button asked Kobe Bryant to help.
Lin Yi also used props for this buckle, and another basket prepared in advance was carried out by the staff.
The height of the basket of this basket reached 365 cm, and after Kobe Bryant hit the board, Lin Yi grabbed the ball with one hand, jumped with all his might, and came to a tomahawk-style dunk!
When dunking, Lin Yi's right arm completely sank into the basket!
This deduction of Lin Yi is purely unreasonable!
This kind of extreme bouncing spell is personal talent, and the creativity of this buckle is not so prominent, but at the moment when Lin Yi landed, people felt an inexplicable shock!
Barkley complained: "Previously, the Knicks' strength and conditioning trainer Mark Dober revealed that Lin could touch the top edge of the rebound, and I don't think anyone will suspect that the strength and conditioning trainer is lying now." ”
In fact, Lin Yi also has a more difficult idea, but the failure rate of that idea is too high, and the opponent failed to push Lin Yi into a desperate situation, so Lin Yi naturally won't make a big move.
After all, winning the championship is the way to go!
The fans who watched Lin Yi's dunk performance were both happy and disappointed, happy that Lin Yi made the dunk contest come back, and disappointed that there is a high probability that Lin Yi will not be able to participate in the dunk contest in the future.
The fans at the scene voted for Lin Yi, and Evans was very sad, because there was no fan who voted wrong this year, and Lin Yi was elected the champion of the slam dunk contest with full votes!
After winning the championship, in an interview, Lin Yi did not say anything to death, in the short term, Lin Yi will definitely not participate in the slam dunk contest again, but after this year's slam dunk contest, Lin Yi wants to fight with LaVine and Gordon again in the future.
Lin Yi wanted to try to challenge the hellish difficulty of the slam dunk contest, and that time, everyone was a fair contest.
After all, Lin Yi has used all the ideas of Lavin and Gordon, which is very fair!
……
Tonight's Houston is destined to be a sleepless night, and the fans of the Space City are still reminiscing about Lin Yi's performance in the slam dunk contest, and on YouTube, people have begun to discuss how high Lin Yi can jump.
Because Lin Yi's last tomahawk-style buckle left people with too many conjectures.
In the NBA, there are various legends, such as the myth of the Wolf King jumping up and down and touching the top edge of the rebound.
But in fact, Garnett said in an interview that he was about a palm's length away from touching the top edge of the rebound.
However, after tonight's slam dunk contest, no one will doubt that Lin Yi can touch the top edge of the rebound, and some Lin honey even think that Lin Yi's limit touch height can reach 4 meters.
Lin Yi was happy when he saw these comments, "You still brag that I can dunk from the three-point line is more realistic!" ”
Lin Yi tried it in his usual training, and he could just touch the top edge of the rebound, no matter how high it was, it was impossible.
And in real competition, extreme bounce doesn't do much use, James White is an example.
To put it bluntly, continuous jumping and confrontation jumping are completely different from this kind of jumping without confrontation, why is Carter's actual combat dunk more than Lavin?
Isn't it because LaVine doesn't have the strength of Carter?
This group of supermen in the NBA, it is useless to just have outstanding individual abilities, the NBA has never lacked bouncing machos, but not every superstar is a bouncing macho.
However, watching people brag about themselves like this, Lin Yi is still quite happy.
Man, who doesn't have a little vanity?
The prestige played by strength, what's wrong with pride?
"The survival rate of the trees planted recently is a bit low...... Lin Yi thought with emotion.
……
The Houston All-Star Weekend has been stolen by Lin Yi from all the limelight, and watching the All-Star Game get more and more attention, overall, Stern is in a good mood.
It's just that what makes Stern a headache is that Lin Yi's popularity is ...... It's an exaggeration.
Stern believes that if the league gave the regular season MVP to someone else this year, it would definitely be sprayed to death by the fans.
Stern is not opposed to making Lin Yi a triple MVP, but ...... LeBron, give me some strength!
At the very least, don't let the MVP selection lose its suspense in advance!
After the slam dunk contest, several senior executives in the league privately discussed with Stern that as long as the Eastern troops win tomorrow night and James' data is eye-catching, they can't give Lin Yi the All-Star Game MVP anymore, otherwise, the entire league will have to change their surname to Lin......
But......
Stern choked the bunch to death with a single word.
"Are you sure LeBron's stats will be better than Lin's?"
The president thought to himself, how many times do you have to be pricked by Lin Yi, and how many times will you be shocked before you can wake up!
This kid, just like Jordan back then, doesn't give his contemporaries a way to live at all!
If Jordan is an old rascal, then Lin Yi is a little rascal!
The top brass of the league were dumbfounded by what the president said, because Stern had a point, and they were speechless.
"Hey! The point is that he knows how to create gimmicks too well. A senior executive complained.
The other high-level executives nodded sympathetically, don't you see that after the slam dunk contest, Lin Yi also deliberately said in an interview that he still has a big move that is useless?
Obviously, Lin Yi is using the slam dunk contest as a prestige cash machine!
You must know that now fans all over the world are made uncomfortable by Lin Yi......
Because everyone thought that Lin Yi would not participate in the slam dunk contest again, but when Lin Yi said this, everyone's expectations were filled again.
This feeling, as if you are looking at it right, the dog than the author suddenly gave you a broken chapter......
"I can only hope that tomorrow's All-Star Game will have other stars step up." A senior executive complained.
Stern nodded, but in the dark, Stern always felt that something unexpected would happen in tomorrow's All-Star Game......
