Compared with the suffocating three-point contest and slam dunk contest, the next day's main meal, the All-Star Game, was a bit like chewing wax.

These NBA masters have either long been accustomed to the "paddling regimen" of the All-Star Game, or they are not allowed to work too hard with the instructions of the coach.

A lazy, casual, symbolic All-Star Game with a final score of 196-173 gave the Western Stars a big victory.

It's really boring, I believe this is the complaint of fans all over the world, and it is also Roy's heart.

Aside from a few not-so-stunning dunks and endless three-point shoots, the All-Star Game was barely much to watch.

Bob's long-awaited LeBron James didn't win the All-Star Game MVP, he only had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, but Curry also didn't get that honor, his stats were 26 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Westbrook, who scored 31 points, five assists, eight rebounds and five steals, was the NBA All-Star Game MVP, Paul George hit nine three-pointers to break the record, and, of course, most importantly, it was Kobe Bryant's last All-Star Game.

Kobe's retirement means the end of an era, and the picture of LeBron James patting the floor to challenge Kobe Bryant will become a swan song.

The era of the "96 Golden Generation" is over, and if you want to find the remnants of that golden age, Steve Marbury, who played a role in the CBA, is probably the last survivor.

The retirement of the veteran means that the newcomer is about to take the position, which may also be a good sign for Roy to join the NBA this year.

At the end of February, he will participate in his first All-Star Game, and like the NBA All-Star Game, the McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game features a three-on-three challenge, a three-point contest and a dunk contest.

After watching the NBA All-Star Game, Roy couldn't help but get excited, and looking at the registration form, he decided to test his ability, and he decided to sign up for two competitions - the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, two weeks before the start of the McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game.

"Oh, you actually signed up for the slam dunk contest, Roy, are you sure you can play fancy dunk?" After learning that Roy signed up for the slam dunk contest, Su Dong couldn't help but tease, in his impression, Roy's shooting is accurate, but there are really not many impressions of dunks.

Including the long 38 California Championships, Roy has only a handful of spectacular dunks, and he prefers simple and practical two-handed dunks.

Speaking of which, it's not that Roy doesn't have a desire to perform, since he played basketball, he has always wanted to show himself well.

The reason why Roy doesn't have too many fancy dunk performances is that he doesn't know what action he can use to complete the dunk, he almost didn't watch basketball or the NBA before this year, and the fancy dunk in his impression is probably only a tomahawk dunk, so this time when he saw Zach LaVine vs. Aaron Gordon's "Battle of the Century", he fell directly into it.

How do you play a dunk beautifully? Roy turned to Su Dong and Yilan for help, but they didn't know how to answer.

The legendary slam dunk contest began in 1984 with the intention of adding an appetizer to the thin NBA All-Star Game, but unexpectedly, the coquettish slam dunk contest stole the limelight of the NBA All-Star Game as soon as it came out.

Just like now, if you want to ask Bob what the highlights of the All-Star Game are, he may have to think about it for a long time, but when it comes to who the slam dunk champion of that year is, the wonderful dunks appear vividly in Bob's mouth.

According to Bob, according to the development of the slam dunk contest for more than 30 years, dunks can generally be divided into three types.

The first is the bouncing superman, the invincible body stream, which is represented by two generations of flyers Michael Jordan and Vince Carter, and of course, the new "little flyer" Zach LaVine. Here, it's not that the body flow is devoid of technique, it's just that compared to their exploding bodies, technique is less important, and this kind of player is a unique beauty as long as he floats in the air.

The second is the fancy, creative flow of technology, which is represented by the "essence of human cinema" Dominique Wilkins, Larry Nance and Aaron Gordon, who are looking for the beauty and difficulty of the action. Especially Wilkins, just listen to his nickname, you know that he was basically the initiator of several early dunk moves. However, there are only a few variations of dunk action, so what to do when the development of a new move hits a bottleneck? This is the third type of person.

The third is the gimmick faction with its own highlights, or with the help of props to forcibly attract fans, there are many representatives here, including "Potato" Webb and "Little Potato" Nate Robinson who sell short people who can dunk dunks, Brent Barry, who is famous for being a white man, and Dwight Howard, a center who won the championship with the image of a superman. However, since the appearance of the gimmick pie, the quality of the slam dunk contest has been declining day by day, and I think about it, this kind of gimmick is called amazing once played, and it is boring and bad fun to use more. For example, Nate Robinson, who won the three-time slam dunk contest, when he dunked 17 times in a row in 2006 to complete the action, the embarrassment of the audience had already attacked, and the NBA also deliberately revised the rules for this. There are also all kinds of props that change the soup but not the medicine, such as the leaping mascot at the beginning, to the infinitely increasing leaping living people, and then to the car that Blake Griffin leaps over at the end, if you want to continue like this, you can only pull the plane out and play.

So, the NBA has Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon to thank them, and without them, it wouldn't have been impossible for the slam dunk contest to be suspended.

Roy looked at himself, in terms of body and bounce is not fierce enough, in terms of technique, his two dunk statistics are not beautiful, let alone gimmicks, Roy's style of play has always been practical first.

It seems that you have to practice, you have to practice hard, Roy doesn't want to contribute two lackluster dunks in his first All-Star Game and make a hasty thing, as long as it's a game, as long as it's a championship, he wants to win.

Roy said he would do it, not to mention that he had exchanged a quarter of his fan points (250,000 fan points for 10,000 attribute points) to strengthen his abilities, and spent 2,000 attribute points from the "Ball King Shop" to buy the stunt "All-around Dunk" level 1 (effect: When dunking on the spot, dunks on the spot increase by 2 points, breakthrough dunks increase by 2 points, and relay dunks increase by 2 points; Overall ability increased by 1).

In order to get a stronger jumping ability, Roy asked Bob to tailor a new recipe for himself, in order to grasp the essence of various dunks faster, Roy asked Su Dong to make himself a highlight video of the previous dunk contests, in order to learn each action more solidly, Roy began to practice day and night.

Roy learned to dunk step by step.

At first, he thought that dunking was simple, just a few simple actions, and it was okay to smash the ball into the basket in a different way. But when he really picked up the basketball and rushed to the basket, he found that it was too difficult to dunk a dunk with beautiful movements and no low difficulty.

As for Zach LaVine's free-throw line jumping and crotch changing hands for dunks, is that still something that humans can do?

Fortunately, Roy is a tenacious person, he borrowed the key to the school's basketball hall, and for ten days in a row, he went in early in the morning to practice, and after class in the afternoon, he was the first to rush into the basketball hall, and practiced until the moon hung on the branches, and then reluctantly went home.

Thanks to his persistent efforts, his "dunk on the spot", "break dunk", "catch" and "bounce" abilities have all improved dramatically, and he is finally able to complete some fancy dunk moves.

"Brother Su, I remember the last time you said you didn't see me dunk, right?"

The night before the All-Star Game at McDonald's High School, Roy invited Su Dong, Elan and Bob to the basketball arena at Chino Gang High School.

Su Dong didn't know what Roy was planning.

Roy didn't wait for Su Dong to answer, and asked again: "Brother Su, who is the strongest buckle general in China you have ever seen?" ”

Su Dong still didn't speak, but Roy had already started, flying at a speed, two steps inside the free throw line, Roy jumped, stretched his body, stretched his arms, and waved his arms with one hand, which was a standard big windmill slam dunk.

"Can I call myself the strongest buckle general in China now?" Roy, who landed, teased Su Dong with satisfaction.

Su Dong was surprised, in fourteen days, it only took Roy fourteen days to master a new technology......
