Chapter 866 [Talented, Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy]

The slam dunk contest was the highlight, with four players competing being Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson, Jamario Moon and rookie Rudy Fernandez.

Moon took the lead and scored a perfect score on the first dunk, and after throwing the ball high, he ran to the other side of the basket to catch the ball with one hand, and "looked back at the moon" dunk and completed it all at once.

His movements were flowing and stretched, and he stayed in the air for a long time, which won over the judges and the fans in the field.

Fernandez's first move was a self-tossed dunk, he threw the ball behind his back to hit the board, and then ran to the right side to catch the rebound ball with one hand, and completed it all at once, scoring 42 points.

The ball is actually not difficult, it doesn't matter if he throws the ball behind his back and bounces, and the judges don't like this kind of trick.

Robinson "Little Potato" was the third to play, throwing the ball frame high, and then receiving a one-handed windmill dunk from the ground rebound, he scored 46 points, which is not very creative, and the score is high because of his short stature.

Howard, the most famous, played the finale, threw the ball from behind the rebound, went around to the right side to catch the ball and dunked the basketball, scoring 50 points. His dunk is a bit similar to Moon's, except that the angle of the toss is different.

Fernandez, who scored the least, took the lead in the second round and opted to partner with Hawks teammate Nash. Nash smashed the ball to the back of the rebound and rebounded, and Fernandez jumped up on the right baseline, jumped out from behind the rebound after receiving the ball, and dunked with a backhand with one hand.

It was a difficult and beautiful move, but he ran out of two minutes and scored 42 points for overtime.

Robinson's second dunk was a dunk on his teammate's back, scoring just 41 points. This action was a bit insulting, and there was no applause from the fans.

In this way, Moon lost the pressure, threw the ball in the middle, completed a half-turn dunk, scored 46 points and took the lead in the finals, and Howard also folded his back with both hands and scored 42 points to advance.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Robinson, who won the dunk king three times, was eliminated in the preliminaries. He has not won the dunk king in this life, Howard is not Superman, and his Kryptonian dunk will naturally not appear.

In the finals, Howard's weakness in dunking tricks was revealed, and both dunks were boring, jumping from the free throw line to dunk and pulling a basketball hoop to dunk a higher basket in the air.

Unless Howard's head is out of the box, the audience won't buy it, it looks like an ordinary empty hand, there is no judge's score in the finals, and the slam dunk king is selected by the audience sending text messages to support it.

Moon also staged a free throw line dunk, which was much more difficult than Howard's, Guo Xu was responsible for smashing the ball to the ground and rebounding, Moon jumped from the free throw line and caught the ball with his left hand.

In his previous life, Moon also did not score much, because he put white tape a little before the free throw line, but the last jump position was behind the free throw line, which is suspected of deceiving the audience's feelings. This time, he didn't put tape on Guo Xu's suggestion, so he jumped from the free throw line and received more applause.

Moon's final move was to slip to the bottom line and change hands under the crotch for a dunk, jumping from the right side of the basket to the left, and half-turning and dunking with his left hand. When he was on the Harlem basketball team, he used to play like this, and it was a trick.

The butterfly effect occurred, and after the fan vote, Moon beat Howard to become the dunk champion with 55% support.

Moon is completely based on strength, and Howard's popularity is very different. With the Suns, he usually plays in garbage time, and if it weren't for the All-Star event in Phoenix and no great dunker willing to play, the league wouldn't have invited him.

The person the league wants to invite the most is James, but he is adamant not to participate in the slam dunk contest.

After the game, fans discussed the Suns' lineup, and after Moon won the championship, the Suns now have four players who have won the slam dunk contest. It's an all-time record, and no other team can even make up four people who have participated in the slam dunk contest.

No one says that the Suns' lineup is not good anymore, how can other teams compete with the Suns? There is also Jordan Jr. on the team who can also participate in the slam dunk contest, but he was not invited this time.

On the 16th, the All-Star Game began.

When the players warmed up, CCTV5's Zhang Reasonable predicted: "The west will definitely win today, Guo Xu is the MVP, and the suspense is what data he can play." It's the Suns' home stadium, he's the most popular player, and everyone should be happy to create opportunities for him. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "It depends on whether he has the strength to perform, he has been playing very happily these days, he has not been idle since Wednesday, and he is at home with two celebrity girlfriends, and most people have long lost energy." ”

Many viewers in front of the TV listened to the explanation, and couldn't help but start to make up for Guo Xu's process from being mentally energetic to not being energetic......

Guo Xu has been quite restrained in the past two days, playing at his own home, he must not let the MVP be obtained by people from other teams.

Moreover, he only needs to win the All-Star MVP again for the fourth time in his career, sharing the all-time first with Bob Pettit.

This is the best chance, if it is not at home, it is not good for him to steal the limelight of the home star.

Western starters: Guo Xu, Paul, Stadamire, Duncan, Yao Ming.

The strange combination of three interior lines and two point guards makes people feel that it is not easy to play. Xiao Si has played as a power forward many times this season and formed a twin tower with his teammates, and is counted among the forwards.

Eastern starters: Nash, Wade, James, Garnett, Howard.

Yao Ming jumped the ball to win the match, Xiao Si passed to Guo Xu, and the players opened up space and created a singles opportunity for him.

The Eastern defensive end is a man-to-man tactic, Nash keeps up with Paul, and Wade defends against Guo Xu. This was arranged by Eastern Conference coach Mike Brown before the game, and letting Nash defend Guo Xu was equivalent to giving away points, and everyone knew that he couldn't prevent it.

Guo Xu didn't think about passing, the starting interior of the East are two super defensive players, Xiao Si is not dominant in the face of James on the outside, and Paul needs to hold the ball to play.

Wade only played two regular season games with Guo Xu in one season, because he suffered an injury and only played once in two years. During the game, Wade generally defended the No. 2 position, and he was not familiar with Guo Xu.

Guo Xu is too familiar with Wade, he first entered the parallel world time loop in Orlando, very close to Miami, and Wade has been training with demons for a long time and often goes heads-up. The two of the Dream Eight team also trained together, and there were not many matchups, but Guo Xu figured out what feints Wade ate ate on the defensive end.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to his left hand under his crotch, took a small step to the right, and Wade moved sideways to follow. He quickly closed the ball with his right hand, took a big stride and turned to pass successfully, and picked up a basket with a low hand from a little before the free throw line.

His shot is far away, which can be regarded as a mid-shot, but the strength is just right, hollow into the net! 2 to 0.

Howard was under the basket, but he was far away from Guo Xu, and when he saw the height of the ball, he didn't jump and block, and it was also a disturbing ball. Howard interfered with the ball and killed the Magic in the previous game against the Suns, and he has a long memory.

Wade's heart chuckled, he seemed to have a bad errand, and Guo Xu couldn't prevent it when he was in a brave state.

Attacking in the East, Nash dribbled the ball across the half, and Wade reached for the ball, ready to return one.

Guo Xu also knows how to defend Wade, his outside jumper is nothing special, and he is easy to be disrupted when he is close. He basically didn't have three points, so Guo Xu put two steps away, preventing sudden bursts and not shooting.

Wade held the ball and forced a breakthrough, relying on his physical advantage to single-handedly challenge Guo Xu, who was tall and weighed more. But the area was full of people, and the West was all three insiders on the floor, and Wade couldn't get to the basket.

He chose to make a quick stop on the right side, Guo Xu calculated the distance and waited, jumped up to interfere, and the ball was deflected......
