The Staples Center Arena was packed, and 20,000 people was a small amount for an event like an All-Star.

The first to start is the Skills Challenge.

John Wall, who scored 12 points and 22 assists yesterday and won the MVP of the rookie game, performed bravely and successfully won the final championship.

After the Skills Challenge, it's time for the Three-Point Shootout.

Novak and Capono didn't play this year, and the more interesting thing is that the Celtics and the Cavaliers, two old enemies, both have two players.

On one side is Pierce and Ray Allen, and on the other side is the young duo of Green and Anderson.

The remaining two are Dorrell Wright of the Warriors and Kevin Durant of the Thunder.

Among these six people, Ray Allen is also the biggest favorite to win the championship.

In fact, the situation in the first round was similar to what was predicted.

Green and Wright both scored 11 points and performed averagely, while Durant seemed to be funny, shooting six points and almost tying Jordan's five-point record in the three-point contest.

In the end, Anderson scored 16 points, Pierce scored 18 points, and Ray Allen scored a game-high 20 points to make it to the final.

In the final, Anderson unexpectedly played bravely, scoring a maximum of 20 points, beating Ray Allen (19 points) to win the three-point competition.

This result surprised Tang Tiandu.

But this also illustrates the charm of the three-point contest, which is to see the on-the-spot performance.

The three-point contest was an upset, and the fans were excited.

But after the three-point contest ended, people's emotions were even more excited.

Because immediately after that, it was the much-anticipated slam dunk contest.

Tang Tian also stopped chatting with Swift and looked at the field.

This year's slam dunk contest is somewhat different from Tang Tian's previous life.

Because of James' participation, McGee did not appear in this year's slam dunk contest.

In addition to James, the other three who participated were Griffin, DeRozan and Ibaka.

In this slam dunk contest in his previous life, Griffin won the championship with a flying car, and now the flying car has been used by Petrus 2 years ago, and he is a little curious about what kind of action Griffin will choose.

The dunk contest is about to start, and the courtside commentators are also busy, Barkley, Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller, and it is worth mentioning that former dunk king Howard is also one of the commentators.

"Dwight, isn't it a bit of a shame that LeBron finally announced that he would participate in the slam dunk contest and you became a commentator?" Miller said with a smile.

"Sure, but the league thinks I'm already a dunk star, so I'm sitting here with you now."

Howard still has a sense of humor, and this opening made everyone in the commentary seat laugh.

"Okay, Dwight, I'll admit, when you retire, I'll consider inviting you to join TNT as my partner." Barkley also said.

"So can we now predict who will be the winner? We all say one name. ”

"LeBron."

"LeBron."

"LeBron."

"Griffin."

Of the four, only Barkley thinks Griffin will win the title.

"Hey guys, this is a slam dunk contest, not a fame contest!" Barkley slapped the table with a smile.

"Well, I think our jury is more demanding on LeBron, and if he wants to win, he has to show some real skills." Howard said with a smile on the sidelines that he was clearly more experienced in the game.

While the commentators were talking, the host introduced the judges of the slam dunk contest.

Drexler, Brent Barry, James Worthy, "Dr. J" Irving, Wilkins.

Five pass dunks/stars.

After the introduction of the guests, there was a burst of excited cheers at the Staples Center, and the long-awaited slam dunk contest finally kicked off.

The first to appear was DeRozan, who was also his second time participating in the dunk contest, and his first move was a baseline run, borrowing the ball from his teammates to rebound from the hoop and dunk under the crotch.

The difficulty is not small, but the starting height is not enough, the visual impact is average, and the final score is 44 points.

Next up was Ibaka, who made some appearance gimmicks, and some black girls pulled the flag printed with "NBA Africa" to play and cheer up the atmosphere.

The atmosphere arrived, and he followed up with a free-throw line dunk.

It's right on the free throw line, it's standard.

The judges gave a score of 45 points.

It's hard to dunk at the free-throw line, but there's more to the dunk contest than just the difficulty.

Ibaka has an average jump height, is almost head and frame level when dunking, and his movements are stiff and rigid, without much beauty to speak of.

But at least this is a free-throw line dunk, which is rare.

The rating gives such a score, which also shows that they are very strict tonight.

Ibaka was followed by Griffin.

The cheers of the audience burst into flames.

Griffin was reimbursed for injury last season, and after returning this season, he frequently staged death dunks in games, and was dubbed by fans as Ka. The strongest dunk player after the special is also the biggest favorite to win the championship in this slam dunk contest.

And as a member of the Clippers, he also played as the host in this slam dunk contest.

If it weren't for James, he would have locked up the championship in advance.

Griffin didn't have a lot of fancy moves, and after Kenny Smith's introduction, he took the ball and rushed straight to the inside.

After jumping, a crisp turn dunk.

180°！

I almost didn't get it in.

The scene was blown up directly.

Many fans reached for their heads, and compared to DeRozan and Ibaka, the dunk was simply brutal.

You must know that Griffin is a big man of 2.08 meters and weighs 110 kilograms!

Barkley was already there shouting "are." Finish.

On the final third attempt, Griffin finally pressed the ball in.

Power, beauty, explosive visual impact.

A complete aesthetic of violence.

The spotlight flickered, and the audience in the audience, including the superstars sitting in the front row, all played 10 points.

49 points.

The judges ended up giving 1 point less than the perfect score, and they were really harsh tonight.

Tang Tian turned his head at this time and glanced at James, who was about to appear last.

In terms of slam dunk alone, the young Griffin is clearly better suited to the stage of the slam dunk contest than James.

It's as difficult to win against Griffin as it was to play the finals last year.

"What is LeBron going to do?" Swift asked curiously at this time, since Hathaway showed that she "knows the ball" last time, she also took the initiative to learn some NBA knowledge, and now she can chat with Tang Tian about some topics on the court.

"I don't know." Tang Tian shook his head.

He really didn't know.

He had given James some advice on dunk moves, but James didn't tell him which one to use.

At this moment, the cheers of the live crowd reached the highest peak since the All-Star Game.

James stood up from the sidelines and took off his training clothes.

The journey of the "Little Emperor" slam dunk contest is finally about to begin.
