Chapter 154: The Decisive Battle at the Free Throw Line (Part II)
Roy had no room to back down, and he had no reason to back down.
In the past two weeks, Roy has spent almost all of his time on dunking learning and training.
Keep adjusting your ability points, keep trying new moves, and keep challenging your own limits.
He still remembers the joy of his first successful dunk from the free throw line, and the bitterness of hurting the soles of his feet because he stepped too hard.
If you want to talk about advantages, Roy's biggest advantage is probably a blank sheet of paper, he has never studied those difficult dunks before, so naturally he doesn't know the true difficulty of those dunks.
But it was the fearlessness of the ignorant that allowed Roy to imagine and try boldly, allowing him to practice such four difficult movements in just two weeks.
That's right, there are really only four difficult movements, and these are the four movements that he has mastered after repeated practice, and Roy's original plan was to progress according to the difficulty, so that maybe his state and self-confidence can get better and better.
The first two dunks did make it to the finals, and now it's a test for him.
To change or not to change?
Roy's brain was racing, and almost as soon as the MC on the scene read out his name, he thought of a way.
Change.
The shooting action remains the same, but the form of presentation changes.
Roy decided to be a "gimmick faction", and now in this situation, if he doesn't make some gimmicks, he stupidly goes directly to complete the dunk and is sent to death.
Seeing that Roy was unhurried, he first asked the sideline staff for a roll of white tape, and then slowly walked in front of Michael Jordan under the gaze of the audience.
The astute on-site photographer immediately chased after him, and the microphone captured the conversation between the two men.
"Hello Michael, did you come in a jersey today? I'm referring to the Bulls' number 23 jersey? Roy pointed to the sky, where a red Bulls No. 23 jersey hung high above him, which was Jordan's retired jersey.
"It's a pity, you can also see that I'm a guest judge today, and I have to wear a suit."
"Then you don't mind if I borrow your signature moves, do you?"
"Of course I don't mind, do a good job, lad."
Jordan winked mischievously at Roy after speaking, he knew what kind of big move this thoughtful "apprentice" was going to make.
The audience was fully appetized by the conversation between the two, and they couldn't help but discuss what actions Roy was going to use to pay tribute to Michael Jordan.
"Is it a backhand dunk after throwing the ball, but this trick is too sparse and ordinary now."
"It's probably a zero-degree turn dunk, but it's not as difficult as Jackson and Ferguson."
"Could it be a free-throw line dunk? Compete with Ferguson for a free-throw line dunk? ”
"Hey, look, what is Roy doing?"
In the audience's speculation, Roy suddenly took off his shirt, and through the lens of the camera, everyone found that Roy was taping the number "23", it seems that he is determined to pay tribute to the basketball god here in Chicago today.
Roy's move has undoubtedly captured the hearts of many local fans, but there are also a few fans who think he is sensationalizing.
"What the hell! If you wear the No. 23 of this cottage and buckle like, isn't it a joke for our Royal Highness the Flying Man. "The fan's shouting is representative of the mentality of some fans.
But Roy was unmoved, he had already come to the free throw line, and as the fan had guessed before, Roy was really going to dunk at the free throw line.
At this time, he was putting his head down on the ground with duct tape.
This strange move immediately aroused the curiosity of the reporters on the sidelines, and she felt that she should interview Roy now.
"Roy, can you tell me what you're posting?" The female reporter's question must have represented the voices of everyone at the scene.
"I'm visually measuring distances." Roy answered the question unhurriedly, and in the past few seconds, he had already posted two straight lines, both of which were a little inside the free throw line, but the distance was different.
"Then you can tell the audience, why are you putting two lines?" The reporter is still puzzled.
"These two distances are the starting positions for Terence (Ferguson) to get two perfect dunks." After Roy said this, he tore out another piece of tape, "And the place where I'm going to jump is here." ”
With that, Roy put the tape on the ground, a little outside the free-throw line, a foot away from the farthest line of Terence Ferguson.
The audience was all intimidated by Roy's slightly arrogant self-confidence.
After hibernation for a second, the audience's various emotions were vented together.
There were cheering Roy fans, booing Ferguson fans, and other types of fans whistling to pick things, all of the fans were thrilled by the Chinese teenager wearing a copycat version of the No. 23 jersey in front of them.
Their emotions showed their attitude, and Roy's unexpected "gimmick" brought today's match to a climax.
Terence Ferguson was still expressionless, he didn't expect Roy to challenge himself, to challenge the famous dunk genius in the United States.
The two dunks he just now naturally have nothing to say in terms of action, but the take-off distance is indeed not at the free throw line, but who cares? A high school student can complete such a beautiful two dunks in one step from the free throw line, which in itself is the standard of perfect score.
And now, Roy is not convinced, and he wants to challenge not only Terence Ferguson, but also all the dunks who have jumped and dunked at the "false free throw line".
Roy's declaration was that my dunk would not touch the free-throw line.
With this belief, Roy got off to a start, and the audience was the first to experience Roy's speed, and this feeling of galloping might be able to get a place on the sprint track.
Powerful run-up, fast kicking.
Roy jumped, and there was a camera that was especially capturing Roy's foothold, and he really didn't step on the free throw line, and he was clean.
Like Terence Ferguson, Roy is also flying.
In this world of basketball, blacks fly over the free-throw line, whites fly over the free-throw line, and only no yellow person flies so gracefully over the free-throw line.
But Roy was really flying.
His posture in the air is very similar to the logo on the shoes that Jordan gave him, elegant, confident and graceful.
Even Jordan was stunned, he seemed to see his young self, fearless and courageous.
The scene was quiet again, everyone just watched Roy glide in the air, maybe now there are not many people who really care about whether this dunk can go in or not, in the face of absolute strength, no one will doubt the result, everyone just wants to appreciate a mortal who defy gravity so purely.
However, Roy knew that the goal was going to be scored.
It's a move he's practiced a thousand times, it's a move he's practiced until the soles of his feet hurt, it's his favorite dunk move, and he likes the feeling of flying. To this end, he put almost all of his belongings into this slam dunk contest.
He wants to win, and he wants to prove that he can fly, and Asians can fly.
"Bang." When Roy's big hand grabbed the basket, the boos against Roy completely disappeared.
