"Hello everyone, and welcome to the 1985 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest title, which promises to be an exciting night, and I'm Henry Wiesel of CBS. We hope all viewers enjoy our slam dunk contest for you. ”

On the evening of February 9, the 1985 All-Star Game slam dunk contest was about to be played at the Civic Plaza Arena in Indiana, and CBS TV broadcast it live across the United States.

For the audience, the dunk action of these participating players just in the warm-up was enough to dazzle, Julius Irving's windmill, Michael Jordan's dunk, Drexler's two-handed folding dunk, and Terrence Stansbury's air relay all made fans addicted to watching, and some fans have begun to dance on the sidelines.

"It's really deserted." Only Gan Guoyang, who was sitting in the audience, felt that the scene was quite deserted, and it was estimated that he was the only one who thought so.

Indeed, compared to the later NBA All-Star Weekend dunk contest, the 1985 slam dunk contest really looked a little shabby, or at least it didn't seem to be entertaining.

There are no NBA stars on the sidelines, no colorful sideline performances, plus this is Indianapolis, and there will be no entertainment stars.

Overall, this is a real dunk game, without so many gimmicks and packaging, but the players participating are all outstanding.

A total of eight players participated in the slam dunk contest: Michael Jordan, Dominic Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Julius Irving, Darrell Griffiths, Larry Nance, Terrence Stansbury and Orlando Woolridge.

And 21st century fame not?

Willing to participate in the slam dunk contest is a "gadget", some of the popular stars at the time were willing to participate in this newly established competition to make a show.

"Okay, the game is about to start, and our game will be divided into three rounds, the first round will have three dunks by all six players except for Larry Nance and Julius Irving, and after three dunks, the three top scorers will advance to the second round. In this way, there are five players competing in the second round, and three dunks are also required, and we select the two top scorers to enter the final match. In the final battle, the person with the lowest score in the previous round starts first, each dunks three times, and the person with the highest score wins, it's as simple as that. The TV host explained the rules of the slam dunk contest.

Since Larry Nance and Julius Irving were the first and second places in the last slam dunk contest, they received first-round byes.

In this way, the participants in the first round of the dunk contest will be Michael Jordan, Dominic Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Darrell Griffiths, Terrence Stansbry, and Orlando Woolridge.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first person to perform a slam dunk is Dominic Wilkins from the Atlanta Hawks!" The DJs on the scene began to introduce the players in order.

Accompanied by the applause of the audience, Wilkins, wearing the No. 21 Eagles jersey, walked onto the court with the ball.

I don't have any impression of Wilkins Gan Guoyang, because the Trail Blazers and Hawks have only played one game, or at the beginning of the season, when Gan Guoyang played for a very short time, and the two were in different positions, so Gan Guoyang was not impressed by this famous dunk in history.

And Wilkins' first dunk, smashed the ball to the floor and bounced high, then jumped up, held the basketball in the air with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Hmm~" There was an exclamation from the scene, although Wilkins's dunk was simple, it was a powerful victory, and the entire basket was obviously pressed down at an angle.

“9?“ 9 points, 9 points, 10 points, 9 points, 10 points. The judges at the scene gave their scores, and the judges of the slam dunk contest at that time included media reporters, NBA commentators, and former coaches, anyway, Gan Guoyang didn't know anyone at a glance.

"There is no creative dunk, this can even score 47 points." Gan Guoyang looked at the 47 points that such a dunk could achieve, and felt a little disdainful.

"Gan, this dunk is already great, I can't do it anyway." It was Gan Guoyang's teammate who spoke, Van de Werve.

"Look, Clyde will be even better."

"Dominic Wilkins, 47 points in the first shot, and the second contestant, is a shooting guard from the Portland Trail Blazers, Clyde Glider Drexler!" Now Drexler's name has spread throughout the league.

"Come on, Clyde!" Gan Guoyang shouted on the sidelines, he found that Drexler was still a little nervous, Drexler participated in the slam dunk contest last year, but he did not play well and was eliminated in the first round.

Drexler took the ball on the halfway line, grabbed the ball with one hand and started to run, rushing straight to the basket from the right side, jumping about 15 feet from the basket, his whole body fully extended, his legs bent, like a big bird with wings spread to the basket!

"Bang!" As Drexler was about to drop, he dunked the ball to the basket!

"Oh, a glider, we see, he's really gliding! He's gliding! When the TV announcer saw Drexler's dunk, it was easy to think that he dunked that wonderful fast-break dunk against the Lakers, which was really like a glider flying.

"10 points, 10 points, 9 points, 9 points, 10 points." The judges gave a score, although Drexler's ball movement is very simple, but the victory is the long starting distance, the posture is beautiful and stretched, which is not done by Wilkins in front, which undoubtedly gave the audience and the judges different artistic enjoyment, and it is not surprising to get 48 points.

Next, Jordan started his first dunk, and Jordan attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came on the court, because everyone else was wearing the team's away dark uniform, only Jordan was alone, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a red vest on the outside, red and black sports pants and red and black Nike shoes underneath, and a thick gold chain around his neck.

This style is unique among all players, and his dunk is nothing special, it is similar to Drexler's, it is also a gliding dunk.

"The dunk styles of the two of them are really different." Gan Guoyang sat on the sidelines but saw that it was also a gliding dunk, Drexler's sense of stagnation was stronger, but Jordan's was more stretched and his movements were more graceful.

44 points, because Drexler has done this action before, so Jordan's viewing is also reduced.

After that, Griffith, Stansbury and Woolridge also completed their first dunk, and generally speaking, the first dunk was mediocre, and there were not many surprises, at least in Gan Guoyang's opinion.

After the first deduction is over, the second round begins, and everyone is about to start working hard.

It was still Wilkins first, and this time he took the ball to the bottom corner on the right side of the basket, outside the three-point line.

Wilkins dribbles, his dribbling is very rushing, the ball is fast and powerful, two big strides to the basket, jumping with the ball in both hands, and then turning his back to the basket, a folding two-handed back buckle!

"oh-my~" The narrator finally felt some taste of passion, and he let out an exclamation at Wilkins' dunk.

"10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 9 points!" Wilkins' dunk score came out, and only one judge gave 9 points, and all the others were 10 points, so Wilkins scored 49 points!

Now, Wilkins has scored 96 points after two rounds, which is quite a high score.

But the attention of the crowd was quickly drawn to Drexler, who was the second to take the stage, and ...... Gan Guoyang, who was invited to the court by Drexler, was attracted to the past.

"Oh, Drexler's Trail Blazers teammate Gan is on the field, what's going on? Is it possible to request off-site assistance? "In the slam dunk contest that has just been held, there has not been an idea for others to cooperate, and no one will come up with it until the next slam dunk contest, and Gan Guoyang has advanced such an idea to a game.

"Let's see what they're trying to do, with Gan behind the rebound with the ball and Drexler at the baseline."

The eyes of all the audience were closely drawn to Gan Guoyang and Drexler, and they were all curious about what kind of dunk this was.

“1，2，3！” Gan Guoyang shouted a slogan on his lips, and when he shouted a 3, Drexler rushed towards the basket, and Gan Guoyang threw the ball to the back of the rebound!

It's a parody of Iguodala's classic dunk at the 2006 Slam Dunk Contest, catching the ball from behind the rebound, leaping to the front of the basket and turning around for a dunk — only now that Iguodala was just born, the idea was stolen by Gan Guoyang.

Originally, Drexler's dunk idea was to jump from the right side of the basket with the ball and leap to the right side of the reflexive dunk, but Gan Guoyang felt that Drexler's combination of man and ball was not good after watching Drexler's performance, because he had to jump with the ball, so his air and sliding distance were greatly discounted, and the overall effect was very mediocre.

So Gan decided that he would throw the ball, so that Drexler could not be bound by the ball, and could fully accelerate to jump, and then catch the ball in the air, glide and cross the basket.

"Drexler crosses the basket, catches the ball and dunks reflexively! It's so exciting! It's so exciting! It's so exciting! ”

The atmosphere of the scene was also instantly detonated by this dunk, and countless spectators gave a standing ovation, and at the same time picked up the scoreboard in their hands to score Drexler, and they all held the "10 points" scoreboard without exception.

"10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points!" Five tens! The first perfect dunk of this year's slam dunk contest was born!

Drexler stepped forward and hugged Gan to thank him for his brilliant idea.

"Come on Clyde, your show isn't over yet."
