Chapter 150: Okay?
Can Roy really do it?
While Roy was looking at the referee team with suspicion, he himself was being viewed with suspicion by others.
The fact that an Asian face stepped onto the stage of a slam dunk contest on American soil is absolutely unique in history.
Since Roy's appearance, the audience has been talking about Roy, if everyone thinks it is forgivable that he won the three-point contest just now, then he is definitely challenging history when he stands on the stage of the slam dunk contest.
If there are a few foreigners in the three-point shooting contest of pure skill, and even the elite of Europe like Peja Stojakovic and Marco Belinelli can occasionally win a championship, then the slam dunk contest that tests physical fitness is completely the domain of black American players.
If nothing else, let's talk about the NBA All-Star slam dunk contest, except for Brent Barry in 1996 who won the championship by relying on "white people can fly", the remaining 30 championships were all taken away by black players in the United States. What the? Did someone say Zach LaVine and Blake Griffin were white? No, they're just white-skinned and black-hearted hybrids.
And among them, we have to look for Asians who participated in the slam dunk contest, that number is zero, a zero in capital letters, and Asians without any yellow skin have challenged the field of the slam dunk contest.
Therefore, Roy's participation in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in American High Schools this time can be regarded as rewriting history, and this is the first time that an Asian has appeared in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in the United States.
Asians, who are widely criticized by the Yankees for their poor jumping, explosiveness, and strength, finally stood on the stage of the slam dunk contest, which really attracted everyone's attention.
Not only was there a heated discussion in the audience, but the players' bench was not calm, although they had known that Roy was going to participate in the slam dunk contest, but it was still very strange to see him standing on the playing field, standing in the slender group of black people.
"Rich Son" Fultz is constantly telling the guys around him what he has heard.
"You know what? I've heard Emmanuel (Moodier) say that China's professional leagues also have All-Star and slam dunk contests, but Chinese players seem to only dunk with their hands awkwardly. ”
"No, last year we played a game against the Chinese team on behalf of the U.S. U19, and Zhou Qi, who is known as the strongest newcomer in China, wanted to dunk on my head, but I grabbed the ball directly, and the physical fitness of the Chinese players is far from good." Bam Adebayo also added fuel to the mix, referring to the warm-up game between the United States and China on the eve of the 2015 U19 World Junior Basketball Championship.
"Bam, I should have known you should have signed up, you're an expert than a two-handed dunk." Jayson Tatum made a rebound shot, and the entire player bench burst into laughter......
Sitting on the other side of the court, Roy had no idea that he had become the center of attention.
He's all about the game right now, and just now, he's changed his "role type" to "assault small forward" (Roy already has the basics of playing small forward).
In this way, his "Breakthrough Dunk" and "Jump" abilities have increased sharply from the original 77 to 92 (with a 20% bonus), and if you add the 2 points of "Breakthrough Dunk" and "Bounce" added by the stunt "All-Around Dunk", 94 points of "Breakthrough Dunk" and "Bounce" are enough to support him to complete any dunk.
In the past two weeks, Roy has practiced various dunks day and night, and by learning and analyzing those classic moves, Roy has also gained a lot of dunk skills.
For dunks, either show bounce, show action, or show creativity, the previous dunk champions are all these three ways, if you can combine them, it would be better.
The first to appear is Arteku Gilbert, the so-called creative stream, this guy with hedgehog hair and only 6 feet 1 inch (185 cm) tall does not seem to be the kind of violent dunk, he can only rely on creativity to excel.
His first pull was to ask for help, but instead of the players on the field or the audience judges, he hired a cheerleader dressed sexily.
His original intention was for the cheerleaders to hold the ball above their heads, and then he would sprint to catch the ball and leap over the cheerleaders to complete the dunk.
However, it may be that Arteku Gilbert's ugly appearance frightened people, or it may be that the glamorous cheerleader was suspicious of Gilbert, who was only 185 cm tall, to complete the dunk over his head, and when Gilbert rushed at her twice, she instinctively crouched, so the hapless Gilbert must not have caught the ball, and his two attempts to dunk all failed, and only scored a consoling 34 points.
Immediately afterwards, Mills Bridges, the second pick, came on the court, he really had unlimited physical strength, bouncing, up and down, and almost never stopped from the start. His bounce is the biggest selling point, so he certainly won't give up that advantage. His first dunk was modeled after Vince Carter in 2000, a frontal tomahawk dunk that put his entire right arm into the basket, and there was a commotion in the audience, excitement in the players' seats, and the judges made incredible expressions, but the performance was a performance, and they didn't give a high score, adding up to only 60 points.
It's Frank Jackson's turn, he and Josh Jackson are said to be the two most perverted newcomers in this class, and you can see how good his dunks are from the previous highlights. Sure enough, Frank Jackson chose high difficulty in the first dunk, impacting the basket from one side of the baseline, turning 360 degrees in the air, and then using the air to fly to the other side of the basket for a backhand dunk.
The fourth player on the court, Kelly Goy, was the white shooter in the previous three-point contest, and he was also not tall, and everyone, including Roy, thought that this guy might just be a supporting character playing soy sauce. But unexpectedly, Gouie's dunk was not ambiguous, and like Frank Jackson, he was also making a fuss on the baseline and hitting the basket from one side of the basket. But the difference is that Gu Yi chose to dunk behind his back, and this action that is close to the difficulty of Zach LaVine Gu Yi actually succeeded once. At this time, everyone couldn't calm down, and the audience held up a "10 points" sign to support this white compatriot, and the judges were also empathetic, giving the first perfect score of 70 points tonight.
With the perfect reference of Gouie, Roy, who was next to play, couldn't help but increase the pressure sharply.
The eyes of the audience were focused, and all the doubts converged into one sentence: Is Roy good or not?
Is Roy good or not? Only he knows about it. The dunk he prepared wasn't as complicated and flashy as Gouy's, but it wasn't a general dunk either. It was a long-range windmill slam dunk, the same move he had shown Su Dong and them, but Roy had made it more difficult now, and he had to jump and dunk from a longer distance.
With the doubts that everyone could not do it, Roy kicked in, and he got off to a perfect start, and after switching "character types", he already had top-level physicality and dunk skills. Over the past two weeks, he's honed his bounce, catch, dunk and other skills, so he even feels like there's a lot of room to go when he jumps from within a step of the free-throw line.
Roy's long arms played a full role in this slam dunk, his big windmill was full of domineering, and as soon as he dunked down, the basket shook, the court shook, it was really a domineering dunk that shook the whole court......
Is Roy good or not? Now everyone definitely has the answer.
