Chapter 246: The Most Awesome Slam Dunk Contest!

The judges of the slam dunk contest are still old, and the potatoes should not grow taller, but now they are starting to grow on both sides. Dr. J still looks like he's in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses and pretending to be a Sven. Barry's face was a little fatter, but he looked kind. Haier's legs and feet are getting worse and worse, and it looks like he never slept well. Zhang Qi is still responsible for her appearance, sitting in a suit and leather shoes, not like a beast at all.

Soon, Zhang Fu found that he had nothing to talk about with these old-timers, most of these people were the widows of the same generation as Lakers general manager Jerry West, and Zhang Fu found that there was nothing to talk about after saying hello.

The old guys also didn't talk to him about the topic, so after a polite exchange of words, Zhang Yi simply went to say hello to today's contestants.

"Boss, you're not going to make our dunks worthless, are you?"

Finley has been particularly witty in the past two days, and it is estimated that he also feels that he can't get into Zhang Qi's eyes with eighty percent of his dunks, which will be a little nervous.

Zhang Mao's eyelids jumped, he didn't know how to answer, and finally he could only pat his little brother's shoulder, which means: You should ask for more blessings for yourself.

Finley probably also knows that he has to participate in the "Slam Dunk Contest" at his own level, and it is difficult to win the championship even in such a small year, but the league sent an invitation, and he has no reason not to go to this good opportunity to increase popularity, you must know that many people can't come if they want to.

Zhang Qi could only comfort Finley for a few words, and then chatted with Ray Allen for a while.

Among these five people, Zhang Qian admires this guy who can run and jump, and shoots from a distance and is very accurate, and feels that this kid's potential in the future should be greater than Finley, although the latter's physical fitness and defense are better, but Ray Allen's ball quotient is obviously higher than Finley's, and his defensive awareness is not bad, so the ceiling of these two people should be higher than Ray Allen, don't think his eyesight is really that bad.

Kobe felt that he was being ignored again, Zhang Qian said three or two words to him before and after, and even communicated with Sula several times more than him, this feeling of being ignored was really uncomfortable.

But this can't be blamed on Zhang Yu for looking down on Kobe, he doesn't think Kobe is a rookie anymore, but he is still a rookie, in addition to the beautiful style of the ball, Kobe Bryant at this stage is difficult to have any sense of existence in Zhang Fu's eyes.

Let's put it this way, even if it is Jordan who is standing in front of Kobe, I believe that he will not be ignored, because if you want others to pay attention to you, you must first have a performance that people pay attention to.

"Audience friends, I studied the rules before the game, and in general it is the same as last year, the biggest change is that there is a time limit, each player must dunk within two minutes, and the overtime is counted as zero points. The rest of the rules have not changed, and it is still two dunks per person in the preliminaries, and the top three in the total score will advance. The same goes for the finals, where the highest score wins the championship. ”

After Zhang Fu returned to the judges' seat, he really served as the on-site commentator.

No one robbed him of this job at all, even McHale and Barry were reluctant to be live commentators, and the other two were even more reluctant to talk more. It's really not everyone who has the ability to do this kind of commentary task without a script, especially NBA stars with a relatively low level of culture, and it's really not as neat as O'Neal and Barkley.

Zhang Zhu hopes that Barkley and O'Neal on the sidelines can explain with him, and the big mouths of the three of them add up, and it is estimated that they can make the players on the field so angry that they rush up to the real PK, although Zhang Zhu's power alone is not small.

"Audience friends, the five people participating in this year's slam dunk contest are Michael Finley, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Chris Kyle, and Bob Soula. It's not started yet, but the atmosphere is starting to get crazy and we're all looking forward to the great performances that are coming. Before the start of the game, I want to reveal the news that three of these five guys are going to boast of completing the 720-degree dunk. But it's not about that, it's about what interesting ideas they can come up with this year. You know, a 720-degree dunk is only a show of difficulty, not my thing. ”

Zhang Yu pretended to be forced first, "720-degree dunk" is an action that only he has performed in the NBA, and such a dunk has only appeared on the street court before, but those light and fluttering folk players can make this kind of action, and the difficulty is far less than that of NBA players who pay attention to physical confrontation.

Soon, the preliminaries began in Zhang Mao's blowing......

The first to play in the preliminaries was the host Sula, who was an ordinary crotch dunk, but it was rare with his height and athleticism, but the result was 4 consecutive dunks.

But what Zhang Wei is not used to seeing is that this thing is actually pretending to be forced in front of him, and every time he dunks, he always raises his hand to signal the home fans to give him applause, and then he can see his boring gimmicks and unstoppable failures.

In the end, after the allotted time was almost up, Sula only completed a one-meter glide + one-handed slam dunk with no technical content.

"Well, he skated a metre and then he did a one-handed dunk, and we could see Mr. Bob dancing in the middle of the court after the dunk, and it was like eating a fly......

Zhang Mao's poisonous tongue embarrassed Sula, who was interacting with the fans on the field, but he didn't expect this guy to be so faceless.

4 points - 3 points - 3 points - 4 points - 1 point.

Sura didn't know that it wasn't just Zhang Zhu who didn't give face today, that "1 point" was obviously the score given by Zhang Zhu, but the other judges didn't give much of a high score, this should be the lowest score in the history of the slam dunk contest, and the scoring standard of this year's "dunk contest" suddenly became higher.

However, even at the home of the Cavaliers, the fans surprisingly didn't give any boos.

As a recognized "dunk god", Zhang Qi is definitely qualified to score such a score, and Sula's dunk is also eligible for this score.

The second to appear is the biggest tragic figure of this slam dunk contest - Michael Finley.

What if, people knew what happened a minute later......

Remember?

Zhang performed a beautiful "flip dunk" at last year's Rookie Challenge, and Finley's first dunk was clearly intended to pay homage to his boss and prepare to perform the action on the street court today.

However, what everyone didn't expect next was that a classic was about to be born!

Let's take a look at Finley's appearance, which is as simple as his character, with no pretense foreshadowing, and his dunk is also very simple, and when he puts the ball on the floor first, people know what he's going to do.

However, in the same process of turning his heels, Zhang Fu's actions last year can be described as chic, but Finley is like a toad today, so this flip is not flattering.

The fans at the scene were stupid, not so much that this was a side flip, but that it was a "lazy donkey rolling", but what made Zhang Mao almost die of laughter was that Finley's lazy donkey rolling dunk was actually dunked once.

"Hahaha......"

The 20,000 fans in the "Gunde Arena" were originally silent after Sura finished dunking the blue, but now it instantly became a burst of laughter!

Some fans even laughed so much that they squirted drinks out of their nostrils, and O'Neal, Barkley and others on the sidelines were so laughing that they wanted to roll on the ground, and even Jordan couldn't help but spray the drink on Pippen's face.

Zhang Qi is also one of the people who smiles from ear to ear, he said that he has no time to score, and first lie on the table and laugh for a while.

The other four judges also laughed back and forth, and even Finley laughed after the dunk himself. His side flip is really too ugly, and it is simply rolling sideways, so it should be called "lazy donkey rolling", or it can also be called "rolling on the ground", in short, the embarrassment of fans all over the world who watched it was committed.

Zhang Zhu laughed for a long time before picking up the scoreboard in front of him, which was actually a full score card, which caused all the fans to exclaim, and then saw that he folded the "0", and the laughter in the stadium sounded again.

1 point - 1 point - 1 point - 1 point - 1 point.

This time, the five judges were surprisingly unanimous, and Finley looked helpless on the sidelines, so he could only silently return to his seat amid the laughter of the stars on the sidelines who were still leaning forward and backward.

"Don't laugh, I think Michael's dunk is very entertaining, and that's the atmosphere of All-Star Weekend."

What Zhang Yu said was obviously not sincere, because he was still laughing.

The third person to appear was Ray Allen, and there was still laughter echoing in the "Gunde Arena" from time to time, which shows how wonderful Finley's dunk was.

Ray Allen showed his nearly 90cm bounce in the first button, and his strength to do more than just clasp with both hands. But this "turning body and changing hands" with no height, no strength and no difficulty can only prove that he is really here to play soy sauce.

Zhang Wei said: "This dunk is mainly a role for fans to have time to wipe the drink off their bodies, so a very uncreative dunk is presented in front of us, I believe that even in this bland dunk contest, this dunk can only be regarded as a brick that no one wants, I have now forgotten what action he dunked." ”

The fourth appearance was Chris Kyle, and his dunk went without saying, Ray Allen scored 30 points on his last dunk, and Zhang Wei only gave 3 points. Kyle's dunk was slightly better than Ray Allen, Zhang gave him four points, and he scored 33 points.

No. 8 Kobe Bryant finally came out, which is the favorite to win the championship before the game, especially with the success of the previous four, his championship should be stable.

However, Zhang Wei said that he laughed at again!

"I'm stupid! Bryant's dunk is definitely the most creative move in the dunk contest of this century! ”

Half a minute ago, he saw the No. 8 rookie of the Clippers walking onto the court with three suited balls used in the "three-point contest".

However, just when people thought that Kobe Bryant was going to perform a magical move like "dunking three balls at a time", our little Kobe actually started an acrobatic performance - yes, you read that right, he expertly threw three suited balls into the air, and then played three-ball juggling, and moved forward from the midfield while throwing and catching the ball.

"What is this?"

"Really?"

"He wouldn't be thinking?"

“……”

Everyone didn't know what Kobe was going to do next, Zhang said that at first he thought this guy was going to dunk three balls, and then when Kobe Bryant advanced to the three-point line and threw one of the balls hard, he thought Kobe was going to dunk two balls?

"Well, smashing two balls at a time is also a good gimmick."

However, Zhang Yu guessed wrong, when Bi walked to the free throw line, he lost another ball, and then rushed to the basket with both hands behind his back for a dunk!

Zhang Qi was stunned, Ya's foreplay was so eye-catching, and the relationship finally performed a two-handed back buckle!

"This ...... And this kind of operation? ”

Zhang Fu and the four judges glanced at each other, and after they reacted, the five of them fell on the table in an instant, and the laughter of the fans resounded in the stadium again!

This is too awesome, not to mention whether this "slam dunk contest" is exciting or not, anyway, there is absolutely no one who is funny, and it is not bad to play like this in the future slam dunk contest.

5 points - 4 points - 3 points - 2 points - 1 point.

The five judges once again scored highly neatly, and Zhang Yu couldn't control his smile when he scored, and almost laughed at.

To the laughter of the fans, the first round of the preliminaries ended, and the five scored as follows:

Chris Kyle: 33 points.

Ray Allen: 30 points.

Kobe Bryant: 15 points.

Bob Soula: 15 points.

Michael Finley: 5 points.

Well, in addition to being the funniest "slam dunk contest", this is also the lowest scoring slam dunk contest, and there is really no one with a single-digit score.

Soon, to the laughter of the fans, the second round of the preliminaries also began.

Now, what Zhang Zhu and the fans are looking forward to is, is there a funnier dunk in this round?

Kyle was the first to play, probably because he didn't expect to be the player with the highest score in the first round, which seriously affected his state and performance, and he seemed absent-minded in the second dunk of the preliminaries, and finally tried several "720-degree dunks" but failed to succeed, and judging from the slow-motion replay, this is afraid that even the "480-degree dunk" is difficult to complete.

In the end, Kyle had no choice but to change the dunk action, and he asked five fans to stand in a row under the basket with their chests against their backs.

Obviously, this is a good show to challenge the flying five, which is kind of interesting.

But for such a difficult action, Zhang Fu, as a scene commentator, expressed his concerns, he believes that such an action is difficult to complete, and it is easy to hit the street.

"The difficulty of this dunk is five stars, and Kyle wants to fly past five people to complete the dunk after the run. Unfortunately, he didn't even fly past the first one before he lost his balance in the air, and in the end he only made a stunning fall and fell hard to the floor. Zhang shook his head, "Luckily, he doesn't seem injured, which means we can laugh hysterically, and although he struggled to win the slam dunk contest, he gave the fans some laughs." ”

Zhang Qiu's poisonous tongue filled the arena with laughter again, this poor guy who failed to dunk twice in a row could only get up at the end of time, and then ended hastily with a very improvised, one-handed dunk.

"It's not perfunctory!"

"I think he's a failure, and instead of using this kind of helpless dunk, it's better to add some more jokes to us, such as rolling on the ground and then suddenly jumping up and slamming the dunk."

"Perhaps, he could fly through a ring of fire first and then slam the dunk."

“…………”

The fans at the scene were very unconvinced, and some even booed.

Now they don't have a lot of requirements, and if they don't have a good performance, then make the game more entertaining and make everyone happy, that's a good game, and it's in line with the atmosphere of All-Star Weekend entertainment, Finley and Kobe Bryant did a good job before.

Of course, Kyle wasn't the only one who had a poor performance and no entertainment, Ray Allen's second dunk looked more like a routine cutscene, and then Bob Sulla's dunk didn't seem to be difficult, and the two started to make the entertainment awkward.

But it didn't matter, Finley came to the rescue, and the Lakers guard drew laughter from the fans as soon as he came out.

This time, he blindfolded himself, and the fans immediately erupted in deafening cheers, regardless of what dunk he was going to perform!

Zhang Wei said: "Blindfolded dunk, this looks awesome!" ”

Michael Finley quickly showed off his excellent bouncing and stretching posture with this basketball to the cheers of the fans, a blindfolded windmill dunk, and look at it, he was as good as the moon on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Belch...... The only problem is that it's a three-no-stick.

Well, I have to say, Finley's jumping and swinging arms are perfect, but he didn't dunk the ball into the basket at all, he dunked a hollow outside the basket.

Zhang Qi laughed again, the roof of the "Gunde Arena" was about to be blown away by the laughter of the fans, and the stars on the sidelines laughed again, and O'Neal was already rolling on the floor like a meat ball.

"Haha...... This ball, I think I can praise Finley's sincerity......" Zhang Yi laughed again when he said this, it was really a little difficult to explain, he was almost out of breath laughing, "I want to say that after all, he didn't make two holes in the blindfolded cloth." ”

Finley seemed to be here to be funny, and after this failure, he dunked several times in a row, but never succeeded in dunking the ball in.

In the end, he may have forgotten that the allotted time was almost up, and when the stars on the floor were shouting "no time" to him, the blindfolded Finley reacted, and then took off his blindfold and scored the ball with a layup before the time went to zero.

A layup!

You read that right, it's a low-handed layup, and it's TM in.

Finley's action instantly shook the audience!

Zhang Yu was very witty this time, he prepared the 1-point brand in advance when Finley failed in a row, saving himself from laughing and peeing and not having time to score.

As a result, this also caused him to finally not give the lowest score to the judge every time, this time he gave the highest score, because Dr. J, Barry, Webb, and McHale all ruthlessly gave 0 points, which means "You have a bad score!" ”

The fans at the scene are already laughing, this taste is right.

Kobe Bryant couldn't laugh off the court, he was under a lot of pressure at the moment, he only scored 15 points in the first dunk, if he couldn't score more than 30+ points in this dunk, then he would be eliminated, he didn't want to leave just like that.

So, while the global audience was still smiling and hoping that Kobe Bryant would beat Finley's lowest score in history, 1 point, our No. 8 deducted the highest score of the slam dunk contest.

In fact, Kobe Bryant's "360-degree windmill" dunk is not a particularly difficult action, at least he is lacking in strength and height, but his aerial posture is very beautiful, coupled with the miserable and unsightly performance of other contestants, Kobe Bryant's dunk got the highest 41 points in the audience, and the five judges gave a score of: 9 points - 9 points - 9 points - 9 points - 8 points - 6 points.

Zhang Qi only gave 6 points this time, which means that this dunk is barely qualified, this is his scoring standard.

Kobe Bryant's dunk ended the preliminaries, and when fans saw the score on the big screen, they couldn't help but laugh and bend over.

Ray Allen: 58 points.

Kobe Bryant: 56 points.

Chris Kyle: 55 points.

Bob Soula: 45 points.

Michael Finley: 6 points.

This score is really miserable, Ray Allen said that his second deduction was so perfunctory, in fact, he wanted to abstain, but he didn't expect it to be the first result in the end, and even he himself was a little blinded.

To be honest, the level of this slam dunk contest is really terrible, not how well Ray Allen played, but other people's dunks are too funny, especially Finley's "rolling on the ground", "the moon on August 16", "layup", and Kobe Bryant's juggling dunk, which really made fans all over the world laugh.

After the preliminaries, Zhang Mao was still holding back his smile in an interview.

"Personally, I think a couple of Finley dunks were an insurmountable peak, and Bryant's first dunk was the king of creativity, and I gave him 10 points at the time." Zhang Qi was blatantly teasing Finley and Kobe, and now thinking of the performances of this teammate and neighbor, he still can't help but want to laugh, "But when it comes to being funny, I think I can still compete with these two in that goal in Houston two years ago, huh...... Let me laugh a little longer......"

Fans at the scene and in front of the TV also felt that if Houston and these two were really put together, the game would be really good.

After a five-minute break, the "Slam Dunk Contest" continued, but Sura and Finley were eliminated, especially the "funny" Finley was considered a pity, and only Ray Allen, Kyle and Kobe Bryant would be left in the finals.

The fans at the scene, including Zhang Mao, are still looking forward to the finals, hoping to see some funny scenes again.

It's a pity that this kind of shot will not be common after all, especially since Finley, who is the "funny person", has been eliminated, so there is no expected funny scene in the finals, and there is no pre-game legendary "720-degree violent dunk" or other Zhang Qi dunk action.

These dunk moves, which can only be seen in Zhang Qi and street courts, do not seem to have been circulated in the NBA.

Before the game, Kyle, who vowed to complete the "720-degree dunk", had long forgotten his declaration, and his first dunk in the final was just an ordinary action, which proved that even as a dunk, he should not be very good.

His second dunk was a little better, and he actually wanted to pay tribute to Jordan's free-throw line dunk, but all he got was merciless ridicule.

First of all, fans expressed their doubts, Jordan's dunk now does not seem to be too magical action, although the difficulty is still five stars, but it is just a show of bouncing and stagnation, although it seems to be a shocking full-score dunk action at the time, but the juniors are flocking to pay tribute, which makes people inevitably feel aesthetic fatigue.

Zhang Zhu made so many more classic and ornamental moves at the "Slam Dunk Contest" last year, and even had three full-score dunks in the rookie game on the first day, adding up to almost ten actions worth imitating, why didn't anyone learn them?

Finley raised his hand on the sidelines: "Fart, didn't Lao Tzu learn?" That 'Rolling Dragon' move, you forgot so quickly? ”

Kyle's free-throw line jump, first of all, is really not ordinary ugly in terms of foot movements, and from the perspective of air posture, it is obviously not on the same level as Jordan, and it is not even as complete as last year's white dunk Brent Barry.

Zhang Fu's evaluation of this action was even more ruthless: "This is a dunk action of the 'Legend Group', but the strange thing is that the performers are not only stiff, but the position of the last jump completely crosses the free throw line, I don't know if he wants to set off Jordan or belittle himself?" ”

Ray Allen appeared for the second time, and his first dunk in the final was really average, it was a direct dunk, and he didn't have any tricks, and he got a super low score and went off the court obediently.

The second dunk, Ray Allen wanted to increase the difficulty, but he failed repeatedly, and even failed to complete it within the specified time, and in the end, the judges were accommodating, and only when he played it once, he was successful.

However, Ray Allen's performance of this buckle is probably difficult to agree with in terms of difficulty, creativity, and ornamentation.

In this kind of performance, of course, the scene is still as silent as death.

In the first round, there were still a lot of funny ones, but they were not boring, but they made fans laugh more than once.

But when it came to the finals, the "Slam Dunk Contest" seemed to be a completely embarrassing show.

Everyone guessed correctly, Kobe Bryant became the champion in the end.

Zhang Yu commented on his first dunk: "Bryant's first dunk is a tribute to Jordan, which is the classic 'left side of the basket walks the bottom line, and the body is tilted 45 degrees to pull a small windmill dunk with one hand'. But his completion was not high enough, and the most important thing was that the move was repeated too much, and Michael used it once in the first round in 1987, again in the final, and in 1988...... Now, I actually see this boring action again, it's too uncreative, right? “

The koala baby is even Jordan black, but the helper was indeed always doing repeated dunks, although this is related to the limitations of the times, if Jordan is born a few years later, learn other people's ready-made dunks, and step on other people's shoulders, he can also dunk wildly.

However, Zhang Wei is qualified to complain, because it is not the century, and the time between him and Jordan in the "Slam Dunk Contest" is less than ten years, so if you hack you, will I not be able to hack you, the "God of Dunk", can't I be a "little flyer"?

Take a closer look, the koala babies are sitting in the middle of the judges' table today, but Dr. J and Potato have no opinion at all.

Zhang Zhu's status in the NBA is not as good as many people, but he can be called a "god" in the field of "dunk", and he is still the only supreme god!

Returning to the game first, Kobe's last dunk was an ultra-long-distance windmill dunk, but it was still lacking in creativity and suffered repeated failures. In the end, Kobe Bryant had no choice but to change the dunk action, and finally completed the whole performance with a very ordinary "crotch change", and got a high score of 38 points, and was successfully crowned the "dunk king" in 1997.

"I mean, do you really want me to rate this slam dunk contest?" After the game, Zhang Qi said to the reporters around him who were far more numerous than Kobe, and then rolled his eyes, "Okay, I can only say, when I thought the warm-up was over, it turned out that the game was over?" To be honest, our judges didn't leave the table early, even if they gave enough face. But there's one thing to be sure about, and that's that I think the first round is much better than the finals, and Finley should be the dunk king tonight, that's my personal opinion. ”

At this time, the reporters suddenly heard a burst of laughter, and quickly looked up to see that it was Mr. "Rolling Dragon" The best dunk was replayed on the big screen again...... 8)
