I don't know when it began, celebrities were used as a plus, and it seems to be a regular operation in the slam dunk contest. The slam dunk contest is becoming more and more frustrating to the fans, and in addition to our high vision, the creative laziness of the players is also a big factor. It's not that they can't do amazing actions, if it's just about feelings, it's better to live in the images of the past.

That's why 2000 and 2016 are so classic... After Mitchell and Nance Jr. dunked, many fans had little hope for this year's dunk contest...

The 2016 NBA All-Star Game Slam Dunk Contest and Skills Contest were staged before the main game. The Slam Dunk Contest was originally an all-star repertoire, which was extremely spectacle and performative. However, since Carter's shocking meteoric leap into a classic in 2000, whether it is Howard who plays "Superman" or Griffin who leaps over a mid-size sedan, they are more than entertaining and lacking in skill. But in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, LaVine of the Timberwolves and Gordon of the Magic went through two overtimes in the finals, and in the end, the former won the championship of the dunk contest with the proud "free throw line trilogy". Some fans commented that this is the most exciting slam dunk contest in NBA history.

The dunk contest is to LaVine what the three-point contest is to Curry. Before the race, everyone thought that they would have an easy time winning the championship. Unexpectedly, LaVine almost lost the opportunity to defend his title with 6 violent dunks, but Curry lost to teammate Thompson. When it comes to drama, the slam dunk contest is better.

There is no shortage of performances for All-Stars, and at the slam dunk contest, people want to see real battles. In yesterday's game, two rounds of preliminaries, two rounds of finals and two more rounds, LaVine staged a unique skill of jumping from the free throw line three times, which can be called a unique skill to press the bottom of the box. LaVine's first dunk is to run after throwing the ball from the baseline, change hands behind receiving the ball and then dunk back; The second dunk is easy and elegant - jumping from the free throw line, catching the ball in the air and dunking with one hand; After entering the finals with Gordon, LaVine first caught the ball with one hand in the air and turned around for a dunk, and the fourth dunk again jumped from the free throw line — this time in the action of a big windmill.

In the overtime, LaVine first made a rebound, then jumped under his crotch to change hands and then dunk with both hands, and the ultimate dunk was the free throw line - the free throw line jumped from the crotch to change hands and dunk. 6 dunks, 3 free throw lines! Such a performance close to the limits of the human body was something that even Jordan, who jumped from the free throw line in 1987, had never experienced.

After the game, many netizens ridiculed on social networking sites, saying that LaVine was really open-minded, and if it wasn't for Gordon's lack of preparation, it is estimated that he would have used all the actions he would use next year and the year after. In history, there are many stars who jump from the free throw line to dunk, but only a few are really remembered - in 1984, at the first NBA slam dunk contest, Julius Irving staged the earliest free throw line dunk; In 1987, Jordan in the era of tight jerseys, jumped from the free throw line and dunked with one hand, helping him win the championship; In 2000, Carter jumped from the free-throw line to complete a two-handed dunk. Now, LaVine should also be in the "free-throw line club" as he wishes.

Free throw line dunks, not every year. Carter's same buckle will not be seen from generation to generation. Jumping from the free-throw line three times, LaVine took this NBA-specific stunt to the extreme. In this era of slam dunk of all kinds of difficulty on the streets, it is incumbent upon the NBA to set a new benchmark.

If Gordon hadn't made it to the finals, I'm afraid LaVine, who wasn't cornered, wouldn't have come up with so many tricks. After all, at last year's slam dunk contest, LaVine won so easily that there was no suspense and no topic left.

Since 2000, Carter's benchmark performance has made the slam dunk contest at the NBA All-Star Game like the mantra of a nine-pound old lady: one generation is not as good as the next. It was supposed to be a game of skill, but it started to run off the rails from Howard. They understood creativity as creating a big scene, and all kinds of props filled the stadium. For example, Warcraft really got a phone booth back then, imitating Superman in disguise. After that, he wore a red cloak to conquer the basket and win the championship. After that, there is Nash's header, Green's bare feet, and Boykins' height of less than 1.7 meters, not to mention the cake candle on the neck of the basket, the head sticker on the rebound, and Griffin's car. During this period, they don't seem to be competing, but more like a high jump + long jump competition. But if you look at these, as long as O'Neill is "calling" on the sidelines, who else will think that the surprise is on the field?

Gordon's birth made LaVine less lonely this night. Gordon appeared in a suit and with a cane, and the bad temperament of the comer was also brought to the game. However, the first buckle of jumping on both feet, changing hands under the crotch and turning around, did not make all five judges score 10 points - the quality is good, and the creativity is too average. In the second dunk, Gordon succeeded - the mascot of the Magic team, partnered with him, stepped on a roller skate to send the ball to the basket, and Gordon received the ball under the crotch and changed hands, smashing it into the basket - this is also a classic dunk to pay tribute to Carter's crotch change in 2002.

In the final, the mascot spun under the basket with the ball, and Gordon, who saw the timing of the catch, received the ball from the outside and then caught the ball with one hand in the air and slammed it in the air with the other hand - a classic gesture in tribute to Karl Malone. In the second dunk of the finals, Gordon jumped up after receiving the ball and bent his legs to change hands and dunk and scored full points! However, in the playoffs, Gordon was clearly not prepared enough, and eventually lost to LaVine's three-second leap with two dunks.

However, Gordon and LaVine hugged each other tightly at the award ceremony. There are opponents of equal strength, and their dunk game can be described as hearty.

。。。。。。

Fortunately, Daniel Smith, who was next on the court, didn't pay tribute to anything... He went directly to the court, and it was a 360-degree crotch dunk that turned around!

A button was successful, and cheers rang out at the scene!

Speaking of crotch dunks!

How important is the static aesthetic of a dunk? Very important, the best example is a static and beautiful dunk, is the best poster, wallpaper, desktop, the so-called "picturesque", nothing more than this, here to take two people's crotch dunk as an example!

Paul George and Carter, you can open their dunk static picture... Before officially starting to analyze the competition, it is necessary to say that since it is the static beauty of the poster, it is necessary to take the best shooting angle and the best shooting time under the crotch, and one of the requirements of the angle is to try to be perpendicular to the plane of the leg line, because this angle can best reflect the opening posture of the legs, and one of the requirements of the timing is that the ball must be in the process of changing hands under the crotch, and the ball is near the bottom.
