Chapter 417: A Perfect Day
Since 1984, when the Slam Dunk Contest became part of All-Star Weekend, the league has changed its rules several times. The number of participants in the final round was 3 at the beginning, which was later revised to 2; The time and number of attempts for a single dunk have also been changed; In terms of the ownership of the championship, there was even a situation where it was decided by the audience's vote.
A tie like Zhang's and Mitchell's' was the same as Zach LaVine's draw with Aaron Gordon in '16, when the two played two play-offs before LaVine won the title.
"Mitchell scored 50 points because of his strength, but Zhang Feng scored 50 points because the maximum was only 50 points. Everyone, including Mitchell, knows that Zhang Feng is more powerful, and the scoring rules of this bad pen are really painful" O'Neill was very unhappy.
"I think it's OK, the audience likes to watch it, is it possible that you still want to stop it?" Kenny asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't think so, although the All-Star is a game to give back to the audience, but also for the player's body, do all kinds of exaggerated dunk actions in a row, the impact on the body is still quite large" Barkley shook his head in disagreement.
Between the three of them chatting, the playoff has begun, and Mitchell is the first to be detained.
I saw him stop at the top of the arc, and the moment the BGM sounded, he accelerated with his left hand to dribble, jumped up and down in the free throw line, and then changed hands under his crotch to put the ball in his right hand, and finally smashed the ball into the basket.
A decent crotch change hand dunk, if you have to find a bright spot, that is, the ground clearance is very good, the action is stretched, and it is still a one-time success.
In the end, Mark Wahlberg, Leslie, DJ Khaled, and Chris Rock all gave 10 points, while Dr. J only gave 9 points, and Mitchell scored a total of 49 points on a dunk this time.
"I declare, the game is over! Zhang Feng was crowned the champion of the 2018 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest! O'Neill raised his hands and said with joy in his words.
"Keep your eyes low...... Zhang Feng hasn't deducted it yet, what if he only gets 49 points? Barkley pulled O'Neal's hand.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Zhang Feng came on the court, this time he went straight to the sideline, and the preparation time was not long, and he quickly made a gesture to indicate that he could start.
The BGM sounded, Zhang Feng dribbled to the basket with his right hand, he was not very fast, and jumped up early at a position outside the paint area.
You don't need to fly over the crowd to dunk overhead, why jump so early? Everyone is a little confused.
Fortunately, Zhang Feng immediately separated his legs, his left leg was in front and his right leg was behind, and he changed the ball from his crotch to his left hand with his right hand, but he didn't dunk immediately, and he was still far away from the position of the hoop, and he couldn't dunk it if he wanted to.
Just when everyone was confused again, Zhang Feng's feet swung back and forth, the position of his legs changed to his right leg in front and his left leg in the back, and the basketball was changed to his right hand again.
After changing hands under the crotch twice, Zhang Feng's whole body has come to the hoop position, and he is a violent dunk in his hand, and then landed steadily, raising his hands high to accept the cheers of the audience.
The first one to stand up and applaud was Mitchell, he kept nodding his lips, he changed hands under his crotch, but Zhang Feng changed hands twice with extremely brutality. The most terrifying thing is that Zhang Feng also has a back and forth swinging leg movement in the air, which is ten times more difficult than changing hands under the crotch twice, just like Superman walking in the air, he is convinced.
In the scoring session, the 5 judges did not hesitate and gave 10 points, a total of 50 points, so that Zhang Feng won the 2018 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest through the extra round.
It can be said that Zhang Feng won the championship this time, more deservedly than any time before, his 360-degree dunk from the free throw line, and the 720-degree windmill arm dunk with a one-step jump at the three-point line, will be the most awesome dunk in any previous dunk contest.
And his continuous leap Embiid, Davis's two-hand back dunk, and the MAX version of 'Scorpion Tail Swing' in the final round are even more proclaimed to the world that NBA players are the best in basketball.
He took out terrifying dunks one after another, so that the shocking action of changing hands under his crotch at the end did not surprise the audience too much, and the audience was numb.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the overall winner of the Slam Dunk Contest, Zhang Feng from the Sacramento Kings!"
At the beginning of the award ceremony, Zhang Feng pulled An Jiali to the midfield, the lights of the whole stadium were dimmed, and only one beam of light hit around them, handsome men and beautiful women, envious of others.
"Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her! I don't know who led the way, and the audience began to heckle.
Although the two have long been familiar with each other in intimate contact, in this kind of public place, Zhang Feng is still a little embarrassed, he smirked and didn't move for a long time, who knew that An Jiali suddenly hugged him and kissed him, and the atmosphere of the audience reached its climax in an instant, and he could only continue to smirk.
Fortunately, the representative of the title sponsor of this slam dunk contest, the deputy director of marketing of Verzion, walked to the two with the trophy.
He took the trophy with both hands, and when the group photo was completed, Zhang Feng raised the trophy with both hands to signal, and the audience cheered, and the host walked towards Zhang Feng with the microphone.
"Hey, Man, judging by your amazing dunk moves, you really want to win the championship, right?"
"No, the main purpose of my visit is to make a name for NBA players, and of course I'm happy to win the championship."
"OK, I understand. Yesterday you won the Rookie Challenge MVP, today you won the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Challenge, the Slam Dunk Contest, and tomorrow, you're going to start the All-Star Game as a rookie and the ticket winner, just like Grant Hill, isn't this weekend particularly memorable for you? ”
"Of course, I've been planning this All-Star Tour since I got the All-Star invitation. Here, I would like to give a special thanks to my teammate Vince Carter, who worked with me to design the dunk just now; At the same time, I am also very grateful to Embiid and Davis who helped me dunk just now; I would like to thank everyone who watched the game in person and in front of the TV, thank you, thank you all."
After finishing this paragraph, Zhang Feng pulled An Jiali and bowed slightly to the surroundings, and the audience also responded with thunderous applause.
"Wow, good job. By the way, with so many honors and such a perfect day, how are you going to celebrate tonight? ”
"I had a plan for this, I would invite some friends to have dinner"
"OK, I wish you a great night"
At the end of the interview, the host left, and all the projects on the second day of the All-Star Weekend were completely over, but the audience had not completely left, Zhang Feng came to the sidelines to take a group photo with some audiences.
"Big brother, how long are you going to get it?" Embiid waited a little impatiently on the sidelines.
"Huh? You haven't left yet, come and take a group photo together" Zhang Feng beckoned.
"Why am I leaving? Didn't you say you'd invite some friends over for dinner tonight? I'll wait!"
Regarding Embiid's words, Zhang Feng suddenly had a black line on his face, he did want to invite Embiid, but not tonight, just when he was worried, Embiid spoke again, "What?" Don't treat me as a friend, and if you win the championship, you will become a big name? ”
"No, no," Zhang Feng waved his hand repeatedly.
"Seeing that you are in a hurry, you just don't want to invite me. Forget it, I'm kidding you, I have something to discuss with you."
