"Who?" Haugist was stunned for a moment.

"It's just those two cameras on the sidelines."

"They? Haha, keep it secret for now! But I can tell you that it was a surprise for everyone! You can look at the big screen when the time comes. ”

After saying that, he left the suspicious Russell and walked into the shooting area. As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Hoggist confidently began his performance, still throwing quickly with the original rhythm, and throwing the ball with his left hand, but instead of jumping up and shooting, he also changed to a tiptoe shot. However, this did not affect the accuracy of Hoggist's shooting, and the five balls from each shooting spot followed the same trajectory into the basket as if they were marching in a line.

Throwing to the last area, after throwing the first four ordinary balls in a row, Hoggist suddenly stopped, and also threw 24 balls, Hoggist only scored 28 points, with 5 seconds left, and a 2-point flower ball, throwing, winning and making history; Throwing and losing the game, although higher than the 27 points in the previous round, did not mean anything in front of Russell's results.

Hougist picked up the ball and handed it to his left hand, glanced at Russell on the bench opposite, and suddenly showed a playful smile, his eyes swept over the photojournalist and the live camera camera under the basket, and the two nodded at Hoggist, indicating that it was ready. With two seconds left, Hoggist leaped high and threw the ball to the basket in a picturesque position with his left hand. It was a more crisp goal than any of the 47 balls he had already scored in the two rounds of the tournament, just as the long platform blasted the black 8 into the bottom pocket, and the ball didn't even send a ripple through the net.

At 30 points, the miracle was born, all 25 balls were hit in five areas, and all 5 flower balls were thrown with non-dominant hands, all these details are full of legends. Russell's mouth is so big that he can even swallow a lemon, his 29 points are already amazing, he may never be able to throw such a result in his life, this is definitely a good score that can be blown for a lifetime, but on the same day, in the same game, he actually met a full score of 30 points, and his feat was instantly eclipsed!

But Hoggist was not in a hurry to celebrate, but walked in front of the pair of image heroes under the basket again, and crouched down to exchange a few words with them.

Just when the whole audience was inexplicable, Hougist suddenly stood up and walked to the center circle, where there was always a beam of chasing light on the ceiling following Haugist, and now he is the brightest star of the United Center. Hoggist stood still in the center circle, raised his head and pointed to the large screen directly above the court.

Russell, the three of them and the tens of thousands of spectators present followed Hougist's prompts to watch the big screen, and the screen was playing back the picture of Hougist's last flower ball over and over again, Hougist's left hand held the ball and jumped up, and then the camera moved to a close-up, Hoggist's handsome face was clearly visible, the corners of his mouth were raised, his face was filled with a warm smile, and his eyes were ...... He turned out to have his eyes closed?!

The three Russell and the audience let out an exclamation in unison, it was unbelievable, it turned out that Hoggist's perfect score performance was even more magical than they imagined, they couldn't imagine that Hoggist's last flower ball was not just as simple as using a non-dominant hand, he actually closed his eyes arrogantly when he threw the last ball. This shows that Haugist didn't aim with his eyes at all, but sent the ball to the basket with just a super touch.

It's terrible, daring to be so big on the key ball that determines success or failure, not only sets off the incomparable heat of Hoggist's hand, but also shows that his self-confidence is bursting. Russell suddenly thought that this was the surprise that Hoggist said, he communicated with the camera and camera before the game about the camera shooting, indicating that he had decided before the game that the last ball should be shot with his eyes closed, which means that Hougist was completely sure to throw all 25 balls. Russell was looking for how to shoot all 25 of those goals, but Haugist had risen to the point where he could think about what to play when it came to scoring. Russell instantly understood that the gap between him and Haugist was by no means the 1-point gap on the scoreboard, just like a good student took a 99 test, and a top student got 100, a good student has the ability to 99, and a top student's 100 is because the full score of the test paper is only 100, which cannot reflect more of his ability!

When Haugist came back with his second trophy, Russell took the initiative to congratulate him, "Alas, naively, I thought I had a chance!" How did you get it? Is this talent? ”

"My shooting talent may be better, but it's mainly because I spend everyone's time studying to practice." Hougist replied modestly.

"Huh? Then your grades ......"

"I have a lot of talent in learning, and my study in class is enough for me to cope with exams, and I have no problem training all my spare time."

"Heaven is so unfair! Not only is the playing talent good, but the learning talent is even higher, how can all the good things make you catch up? Russell sighed.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!" Hoggist sighed in Chinese, and then comforted Russell in English: "No matter how strong I am, it's useless, and I can't play 1 to 5, tomorrow's main match you can follow Downs and Okafor to take revenge, and return today's losses!" ”

"I hope so!" Russell smiled wryly and went back to the locker room.

Finally came tonight's highlight of the slam dunk contest, Hougist unexpectedly won the championship of the skill challenge and the three-point contest, and the skill challenge staged the creation of the ball over the pile, the three-point contest and the full feat of closing the eyes and throwing a full score, which was very eye-catching, and many fans who were not familiar with him were instantly convinced, and the University of Chicago students who despised Hoggist just now were in a mocking gaze around them, and they couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.

The organizers were quite considerate, knowing that Hoggist had participated in two games in a row, and no matter how strong he was, he could not still be at his peak, so he was arranged to be the last to play. Originally, Hougist was the player with the highest call to win the slam dunk contest, and the last player to play Haugist could have plenty of time to adjust his state, and the audience could also see him present the most wonderful dunks.

The five judges of the slam dunk contest are former NBA star "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Brownon who retired due to injury. Roy, who has been more enthusiastic about developing high school players since retiring; The second is the current Bulls player Jimmy. Butler, a third-year rookie, has grown from a defensive player who specializes in dirty work to a role player who excels both offensively and defensively; The third judge was Bulls legend and an important role player in the post-three-game championship period. Harper; The fourth is finally a slam dunk king, 2001 NBA slam dunk contest champion Desmond. Mason, because the previous one was Carter, so Mason's slam dunk contest was quickly forgotten by fans in the long river of history, and Mason's career data is extremely average, so now his popularity at the scene seems to be not as good as Hoggist, but he is also a real slam dunk king, and the qualifications for this dunk contest are still enough; The final judge was the chief operating officer of the organizer McDonald's. Mr. Thompson.

The first to appear was Bennett's junior brother Kelly. Oubre, a small forward of the same height as Haugist, did not show much strength in the first button, but only completed a slippery bottom line pull rod back buckle, the applause at the scene was sparse, and the judges only gave 40 points.

Next up is German. Booker, Booker dribbled in from the wing, stepped into the paint and jumped high, completed a beautiful crotch change dunk, received high recognition from the judges, scored 44 points. Booker didn't seem to be very satisfied with the score, and passed by the judges' area and asked, "Please, this is a crotch change!" If I don't have a 10 points, I don't have to pay 8 points, how can someone still give me 8 points! ”

Of course, his complaint was directly ignored by the judges. Next up is Patrick. McCaw, McCaw took the ball and walked behind the basket, apparently to complete a back-to-back dunk. He actually imitated Hoggist sitting on the ground and chatting with the two heroes. Hoggist said to himself, what the hell are you? They are behind the basket, and they have a face that can't shoot your back buckle, what do you have to trust them?

After McCaw finished talking to the two, the two gave up their positions, and it turned out that McCaw only let the two of them give way because the running distance was not enough. After re-measuring the step point, McCaw threw the ball to the basket outside the baseline, and accelerated to catch up with the ball and wanted to complete a crotch change back dunk. The ball was very difficult, McCaw's ball bounced off the ground and was away from the basket, and if you wanted to catch up with the ball under the crotch and change your hand, you either had to be very fast or you had to stretch your body to the limit.

Sure enough, McCaw's first dunk failed, and his hands dunked on the front of the basket. He tried again, but it was still a little worse, although he didn't want to give up, but he knew that the previous two times when he was in the best state of physical strength had failed, and it was just futile to try again. So he still used the same throwing motion, jumped up to catch the ball, twisted 180 degrees to face the basket, and successfully dunked with both hands. The dunk also scored only 41 points.

The audience saw the first three dunks, although they were also very exciting, but they were still not up the grade from the actual free-throw line dunks that Hougist had made, and it seemed that the champion of this dunk contest, Hoggist, had basically locked it again.

Hoggist rested his spirits and played easily with the ball, he didn't plan to come up with LaVine's new tricks, after all, LaVine's creativity is limited, use one less one, and use the most gorgeous tricks as soon as it comes up will make the referee aesthetically tired, and he has to get better and better! It just so happened that the previous McCaw's dunk idea was good, but he had limited strength to complete it, if he could make it, which not only reflected his own strength but also retained a creative idea provided by LaVine, why not?

So Hougist also came to the baseline with the ball, and the video duo was about to consciously get up and give way, but was stopped by Hoggist, "You don't have to give way, this running distance is enough for me." ”

Hoggist just stepped back to the bottom line, threw the ball out directly, strode up under the basket, grabbed the ball in the air with his right hand and pulled it to his crotch, handed the ball to his left hand, leaned back at the limit while flying forward, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand with his left hand.

McCaw saw that Hougist used his way, and made it more difficult, and he dunked successfully in one attempt, not feeling humiliated at all, but jumped up from the chair excitedly, slammed the towel on the ground, and shouted happily: "Give me the ball, I want to go home!" It's awesome! Who can compare to this? Lao Tzu is not comparable! ”

The audience also erupted in the loudest applause and cheers, and the two dunks of McCaw and Hougist, who had similar movements, formed a stark contrast, and Hougist was extremely strong by McCaw. The judges gave a high score of 48 points, saying that literati are light, and the dunk king Mason didn't know if it was also this mentality, and only gave 8 points, and the audience saw that this fan made sporadic boos. However, most viewers feel that 48 points are not impossible, but can force Hoggist to put on a more exciting performance.

The second round was with the dunk session, Oubre invited no one else, it was his senior Bennett, he did a good job of secrecy, and Hougist and Bennet were also old acquaintances, and he didn't hear any news beforehand.

Bennett walked into the arena in civilian clothes, and although he became a parallel trade, he still won some applause, Bennett stood in the paint area, held the ball flat with one hand, Oubre started from the midfield, stepped close to Bennett, jumped up and turned in the air, took the ball from Bennett's hand, turned back to the front, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand. The 360-degree dunk was completed very smoothly and won bursts of applause, and the referee also gave a high score of 48 points.

Oubre was also very satisfied with the score, and went around the field to thank him, Hougist wanted to say a few words to Bennett, but Bennett seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and Hougist wanted to estimate that he had a proverb when he chatted with him last summer, and Bennett didn't have the face to see him!

Horgist didn't want to be strong, so he gave up his plan to find Bennett. Booker, who was the second to play, brought in Payne, who was 6 feet 2 inches tall alone in front of the basket shivering, and it seemed that Booker was going to fly straight over Payne! Booker rushed over from the half court with the ball, jumped one and a half steps in front of Payne in the paint, stretched his legs in the air and tried his best to spread them apart, and posed like a trapeze logo, but it still seemed to be a little worse! Seeing that Payne was about to be shot in the head by Booker's crotch, Payne was in a hurry, slightly shortened, and lowered his head to let Booker pass, Booker flew by Payne's scalp and dunked the ball into the basket. Penn only felt that his scalp hurt hotly, as if he had been scraped with a razor.

The audience couldn't see clearly from a distance at first, and they were all cheering for Booker, thinking that this was a dunk that was not inferior to Haugist, but the big screen replay was pushed to a close-up only to find that Payne had lowered his head and hidden, so the quality of this dunk has decreased!
