Slam Dunk, the English name is "Slam Dunk", referred to as dunk. "Bell Gram", just listening to the pronunciation is very vivid, a neat and good slam dunk should have the sound, is there any?

When I was a child, before Yang Yiming was born, there was a Japanese basketball manga also called this name, Slam Dunk. The Chinese name is translated as slam dunk, and the Taiwanese translation is translated as a man as a bottle, anyway, it all means the same thing. The cartoon adapted from the comic is Yang Yiming's basketball enlightenment book, and his favorite character in it is the "middle-aged" Mu Shenyi.

The word Slam dunk also has an extended meaning in English, which is "to find out what is true", just like a slam dunk score, there is no suspense.

At this slam dunk contest, Yang Yiming has to "find out" one thing.

1/

Who is the one who challenged him?!

Yang Yiming still remembers the phone call of the challenge: "So I want to congratulate you, I am happy for you." I am glad that you have achieved so much that when anyone surpasses you, everyone will feel that the person who conquered the mountain is greater and more worthy of admiration. "The other side is talking about his achievement as a rookie to be selected to the starting lineup of the All-Star Game.

"You don't know who I am. Most people don't know how to be grateful because everything is too easy to come by. But you won't, at least not from today... For I will overcome you, and I will mark me on the mountains. ”

The phone's voice has been specially processed to resemble a masked puppet from the horror movie Chainsaw. But this is not the most chilling thing for Yang Yiming, what is terrible is the attitude of the other party, the determination of "latecomers prevail" and the momentum of "winning and chasing the poor".

Who is it?

Who is this "masked man"?

According to Yu Xiaochun and his analysis, they began to target the rookie of the 17th session, after all, what the other party minded was Yang Yiming's same "rookie identity". They further screened the results of the fan voting for this year's NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, and guessed that the reason why the "mask man" held a grudge was because he just didn't make the selection.

As a result, there are four candidates for the "Mask Man":

Ben Simmons, Jayson Tatum, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma.

They decided to further rule out the suspect through the rookie game. Yang Yiming first ruled out Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma, the former hanging up the waiver card in front of the home team's fans, and he felt that he was a little less ambitious as a "masked man"; The latter had a relationship with him before, and he ruled it out intuitively, and the conquest of the world did not seem to be a grand topic that a new second-round show would consider.

Then only Ben Simmons and Jayson Tatum remain.

It's just that...

Yang Yiming, who was sitting on the sidelines, observed carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the less it looked. Ben Simmons and Jayson Tatum are both teenagers and old types, and they all play with cold faces and joy. Tatum occasionally dunks, and as he is now, he yells at the sideline camera, but immediately retracts the emotions that he has finally revealed. can look at Simmons again, although he easily got a quasi-triple-double on 5-of-5 shooting in the rookie game, where is the joy on his face? It's like standing next to Yang Yiming from the time he appeared until the end of the game - a model of basketball since he was 20 years old, probably him, right?

Could the two people who are so obscure be the "masked man" who wants to step on the top of the world?

Don't...

The slam dunk contest has just begun, and Victor Oladipo's first dunk is less than 40, and he needs a high score to save himself.

Mask.

He took the mask of Black Panther from Chadwick Bomans, the protagonist of Marvel's new superhero movie "Black Panther", put it on his head, and completed a big loop split. The gimmick is bigger than the content, "It is estimated that the finals are hanging", Yu Xiaochun whispered in Yang Yiming's ear.

"Well, but it's not about him that I want to focus on..."Yang Yiming looked to the center of the court, where Dennis Smith of the Dallas Mavericks was running. His movements looked difficult, and he half-turned in the air and changed hands under his crotch to dunk. It didn't work out after two attempts, but the third time, Smith finally got the ball in.

"Good shot!" He stood up and applauded everyone, and the referee gave a high score in a dignified manner.

"Do you guess it's him?" Through the crowd that stood up and cheered, Yu Xiaochun hid behind Yang Yiming and whispered - the next to appear on the stage is the Jazz's No. 45 Donovan Mitchell. He was actually a last-minute substitute for Magic dunk Aaron Gordon, another rookie in the slam dunk contest besides Smith.

Yang Yiming did not answer.

Mitchell walked to the bench on the sidelines. On the first shot just now, he borrowed the second raised rebound to complete the self-throwing and self-catching dunk performance. It looked like he needed an assistant from the sidelines.

Yang Yiming volunteered: "Hey, are you looking for someone?" I'll do it. ”

By the way, with a kind smile.

The assist from the Great Wall of China - this gimmick probably Mitchell thought was good, and it happened that the other players had already sat back on the field, so Yang Yiming became the only option. Mitchell made a color at Yang and pulled him as Mitchell's dunk guest.

There were already three members of Mitchell's family standing on the court, gathered under the basket, and it seemed that they were ready to make a leap and dunk for three people.

"This is the location." Mitchell pulled Yang Yiming near the bottom line, pointed to the middle of the side of the basket and said, "Lighter, you throw lighter." When I start, you throw, like a kiss, kiss and have a rebound, that's enough. ”

"Okay, I see." Yang Yiming grabbed the ball in his hand and gestured his strength.

"Well, that's it." Mitchell patted him on the shoulder in approval, took a few steps back, and huddled into a crowd of spectators.

The three family members under the basket have also squatted down in a circle back to back according to Mitchell's arrangement.

"Ready..."

Mitchell took another step back, ready to run.

Yang Yiming made an OK gesture.

Hasten!

The ball was shot from Yang Yiming's hand at the same time!

It's just that this ball, instead of "kissing" the side edge of the basket as Mitchell confessed, was added with force, and after hitting the rubber and plastic wrapped in the basket, it was fast and fast, flying almost horizontally, and when Mitchell jumped into the air, the basketball had almost rebounded to the back of his body!

Mitchell, who was in the air, was embarrassed to find himself in the middle of the target basket and the basketball he hadn't yet reached!

Is this ball going to be yellow and thrown again?

When the thunder was over, Mitchell's body spread out like a tomahawk, his left hand pointed directly at the basket, his right hand was placed behind his back, and he grabbed the basketball that flew flat with the basket, and the 180-degree loop retrieved the ball and violently stuffed the ball in!

Spread his legs, dodged three "obstacles", and landed more than two meters away.

The body is half squatted to absorb the impact of the landing.

It took several seconds for the basketball to fall past him, just like in cartoons where the protagonist scores a good ball and celebrates with the protagonist.

The cheers of the explosion came later, but by no means ambiguous!

SLAM DUNK！
