Chapter 332: Slam Dunk Contest (Part II)
There were two disappointing dunks, and the audience at the scene seemed a little disappointed, and the atmosphere that was originally heated up gradually became cold again. Fortunately, at this time, it was finally the turn of Oladipo, who performed well in the first round, to play, after Oladipo came on the court, he was not in a hurry to start preparing for a dunk directly, but first chatted with Russell on the sidelines, and then ran to Olajuwon's side with a basketball and asked Da Meng to help him sign a name on basketball, the gimmick is very sufficient, you wear Jordan's clothes? Then I'll ask Da Meng, who is higher than Jordan, to sign it, and by the way, brag about Russell, who has more championships than Jordan, this card is always big enough.
At this time, the curiosity of the audience was mobilized by him, but unfortunately Oladipo probably knew that he had entered the finals, so this time the dunk seemed very casual, although there was some difficulty, but the difficulty was not particularly high, Payton threw the ball to the side of the right rebound in front, Oladipo followed and then caught the ball in the air and turned 360 degrees to dunk the ball in, although the ball looks more difficult, but obviously not as powerful as the two full score balls in front, In addition, the completion of this ball was not particularly good, so in the end it only brought Oladipo 39 points. But that's enough for Oladipo, because he's already in the finals.
And the next thing to play,It's LaVine who performed the best in the first round.,As soon as LaVine came out.,The fans in the audience stood up.,In fact, because the scores of the first two players are low.,So LaVine is basically just a random deduction to be able to enter the finals.,But obviously he's not going to do that.,After brewing at the top of the arc,LaVine started his own performance.,First gently threw the ball forward.,Just like his first dunk.,But this time,LaVine's dunk style has changed, He rushed in and grabbed the basketball in the air, then reversed the ball from behind his back and changed hands, and then put the ball in the mouth with his right backhand, without a trace of mud and water, and the action was completed cleanly, which can only be described as perfect.
This dunk also satisfied the audience, and they began to applaud LaVine, and because this dunk is reversed, it is very difficult to complete, which also makes the stars on the sidelines stunned, and even LaVine's rival Oladipo is stupid. The referees were also very satisfied with this dunk, and they showed the 10-point sign again, and a 50-point dunk was born, and this slam dunk contest was good enough.
In the finals, it turned into a contest between Oladipo and LaVine. The first dunk in the finals, still Oladipo dunked first, after seeing LaVine's dunks against the sky, Oladipo was also ready to fight, he directly called a teammate to the court, sat on a chair two steps in front of the basket, and raised the ball high, Oladipo started from outside the three-point line, rushed over and jumped high, stepped over his teammates at the same time, grabbed the basketball in the hands of his teammates, and then made a change of hands under the crotch, which pulled the ball up and dunked, but the difficulty of this ball is too great, The ball is too high for the air, and basically no one can complete it. The three attempts all failed in the blink of an eye, and the judges were also very ruthless, raising a sign with 6 points, and only one sign with 7 points, with a total score of 31 points.
At this time, the atmosphere in the stadium slowly cooled down, because everyone did not expect that the first dunk in the finals would fail in the trial dunk, so that LaVine would basically be able to gain an advantage as long as he could dunk the ball, so that there would be no competition in the game. The sidelines suddenly became embarrassed. At this time, LaVine came out, still with a simple move, and this time he called his teammate, Wiggins. Wiggins held the ball under the basket, raised the ball flat with one hand, LaVine ran from the midcourt, flew up directly to take the basketball, and then changed the ball in his right hand from the crotch to the left hand, followed by a backhand dunk, another dunk that violated the laws of the body, a reverse dunk, and the fans in the audience gave a standing ovation again.
It can be seen that everyone is very satisfied with this ball, but unfortunately the referees probably think that this idea coincides a little with the previous dunk, and Oladipo has already scored 31 points, and if you give you 50 points, isn't there no suspense at all? So everyone gave a 9-point sign, and the audience at the scene was obviously dissatisfied with this score and booed. But in fact, this does not change anything, LaVine now has 45 points in hand, even if Oladipo can score 50 points on the second dunk, LaVine only needs a 37-point dunk to win the championship, which is easy for LaVine.
Oladipo obviously knows that he has no chance, so he is ready to challenge his limit, a three-point arc top throw, and then he is ready to turn a 360 degree in the air first, and then come to a one-armed windmill, the difficulty of this dunk is super large, it is estimated that even if Jordan returns to the top, he may not be able to complete this dunk, so Oladipo's two attempts to dunk quickly failed, and the third dunk, he obviously does not plan to continue to be the head iron, and Peyton made a cooperation on his feet, There was a more classic basketball smashed on the back crossbar of the basket and bounced back, Oladipo caught the ball, received the ball from behind the rebound and dunked the ball in, this action was also done by Rudy Fernandez before, so the creativity was average, and in the end the referees only gave 41 points.
At this time, LaVine played again, in fact, he is already the champion now, because Oladipo's two dunks add up to 72 points, even if LaVine's second dunk is not deducted, and he gets the lowest score of 30 points, the total score has reached 49 points, but LaVine is not ready to end hastily, and his teammates came to a harmony, this ball is very similar to Plumlee's first dunk, all teammates smashed the ball on the side of the rebound, but LaVine's dunk, after receiving the ball in the air, also attached a crotch change of hands, This action also added a lot of points to LaVine, this ball is average in creativity, but it is very difficult, and LaVine easily completed a dunk, and finally this dunk also got a high score of 49 points, so that LaVine scored a total of 94 points in the final and successfully won the title of dunk king in the 14-15 All-Star Game.
At this point, the game on the second day of the All-Star Weekend is officially over, Ye Xuan won two trophies today, he can be called the brightest person on the second day of the All-Star Weekend, and with the rookie game MVP he got on the first day, he is simply the most profitable in this All-Star, 5 trophies, 3 are Ye Xuan's.
