At the three-point contest award session, the NBA official temporarily asked Ray Allen, who was watching the game, and Reggie Miller, who was doing the commentary, to present the award to Zhang Feng.

Since the establishment of the three-point competition, there has never been such a grand award ceremony, and Zhang Feng can be said to have earned enough face.

After the excitement, Staples returned to calm, the on-site staff stepped up the arrangement of the slam dunk contest, some of the props that would be used were moved to the court in advance, and Zhang Feng also returned to the locker room to prepare.

Five minutes later, the host began to broadcast the players participating in the slam dunk contest, and when it was Zhang Feng's turn to play, the enthusiasm of the entire Staples fans was rekindled, and everyone expected him to come up with an unexpected dunk.

Zhang Feng smiled and waved in response, then walked to the bench on the sidelines, and as soon as he sat down, Embiid leaned over to him and said:

"Look over there, the one in the middle is Chris Rock, he's the judge of this slam dunk contest."

Following Embiid's finger, Zhang Feng looked at the center line of the court, where there were five people sitting, but he didn't know any of them, and he could only roughly guess that the gray-haired old man was Julius Irving.

"Silly, huh? I'm telling you, from left to right, Hollywood movie star Mark Wahlberg is the one who plays the teddy bear. The second is Dr. J, the third is Chris Rock, and the fourth is Lisa Leslie, who is the NBA's O'Neal and is inducted into the Hall of Fame. The last one is DJ Khaled, who does music."

Unexpectedly, Embiid cherished these people like a lot, Zhang Feng nodded, but a new doubt appeared, "Can these people, except for Leslie and Dr. J, understand the difficulty of dunking?" ”。

"Hey, it's not that Xiao Hua is increasing the influence of the NBA, otherwise what would Hollywood and Grammys do? But they at least watch a little bit of basketball, and even if they don't understand it, they can give points based on the on-site translation, and Leslie and Dr. J can also give them references, so you don't have to worry about that."

"Well, that sounds fine......"

"Can you tell us what your first action was?" Embiid asked quietly.

"The free throw line 720 degrees turned, the crotch changed hands, the big windmill back buckle hanging arm" Zhang Feng casually made up.

"........." Embiid's face darkened, "Why don't you say it, why are you teasing me?" ”。

The two chatted and chatted, and the game began, and the first to play was Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz, when he came on the court, he deliberately smiled confidently at Zhang Feng, as if to say: "I won today!" ”。

If you are so fearless, you must be prepared.

Sure enough, Mitchell walked to the free throw line and stopped, and then threw the ball to the rebound, but just when everyone thought he was going to dunk, he stopped, and then walked to the baseline and pointed to the sidelines, it turned out that he had prepared props, and there was a second basketball hoop on the spot.

The crew quickly unfolded the second basketball hoop, but instead of parallel to the other, it was placed slightly behind.

Double-ball dunk has appeared many times in the dunk contest, but there is no one like Mitchell who plays with a basketball.

Once the rack was laid, Mitchell walked down to check the distance, then returned to the halfway line and waved his hands in the air to signal the crowd to cheer him on.

Mitchell began to sprint to the sound of the crowd, and when he reached the outside of the paint field, he threw the basketball to the second rack, and at the same time he jumped high and caught the ball with both hands as it bounced back.

A very thoughtful dunk idea, and a success, the scene resounded with applause, but because the difficulty was not too high, the NBA stars on the sidelines did not show surprise.

In the end, the five judges gave 48 points, with Dr. J, Mark Wahlberg, and Chris Rocks all scoring 10 points.

"Panic? The first dunk is 48 points, or tell me about your creativity, I'll give you a counselor, so as not to do useless work," Embiid asked shyly.

"Don't panic at all, my free throw line 720 degrees turn crotch change hands, windmill back buckle, arm dunk is 10 ......times more exciting than this," Zhang Feng responded with a smile.

"It's boring, don't treat me as a friend, I won't pass you tomorrow" Embiid pretended to be angry.

"Okay, I'll tell you" Zhang Feng motioned for Embiid to come closer, after all, the other players were sitting next to him, and they could neither influence others nor expose their secrets.

"I'm grass...... What the hell are you lying to me, I don't have you as a friend," Embiid listened and returned to the audience.

Zhang Feng smiled and didn't explain, he had expected it a long time ago, and Embiid wouldn't believe it when he said it, but as long as he waited for a while, he would prove it with practical actions.

The second player on the court was Oladipo from the Indiana Pacers, who stood at the three-point line, threw the ball into the air with both hands, and the moment the ball was shot, he rushed to the basket, then stopped and jumped, and caught the ball in the air with a back dunk.

I have to say that the difficulty is indeed very great, the moment he jumped, the audience, including the NBA star, opened their mouths wide and exclaimed, but it was precisely because of the difficulty that they failed to dunk the ball in.

The first failure was not tight, Oladipo tried again, but unfortunately he still couldn't dunk because he caught the ball in the air and then dunked, and the timing of the arm swing was too difficult to master.

According to the rules of the slam dunk contest, each player has 3 chances for each dunk, and Oladipo has failed twice, but his head is very iron, and he does not change his actions for the third time, and finally loses, scoring only 31 points.

The third player was Dennis Smith from the Mavericks, who started from the right side at a 45-degree point and made a quick stop to jump, then turned around for a 360-degree dunk.

He jumped very high and his head was already over the hoop, but unfortunately he couldn't dunk it because of his poor vision after turning.

On the second attempt, he directly changed his movements, sprinted to the basket at high speed, turned and jumped, held the ball high with both hands for a moment, and then connected with a folding back buckle.

The difficulty was so low that it failed to even win the applause of the audience, and after adding the failure of the first dunk, the judges only gave 39 points.

"This year's dunk contest is still as boring as last year, Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine didn't play, and now it's completely uninteresting," Barkley sighed as he sat in the TNT commentary booth.

"Don't worry, Zhang Feng is about to play, his dunk is guaranteed to refresh you" O'Neal said confidently.

"Oh? Did he tell you about his idea? Barkley's eyes lifted.

"No, this kind of thing, it must be kept secret" O'Neill shook his head.

"So where do you get your confidence? His dunk is very violent, but he's afraid that the aesthetics are not enough," Barkley said.

"I believe in him, he's talked to Carter about how to detain him," O'Neill explained.

"Come on, Carter doesn't seem to be here today, what can be a good idea" Barkley waved his hands.

In between the two chatting, the Cavaliers' Larry Nance came out, but he was wearing casual clothes, not a jersey, and it would be very troublesome to dunk.

Just when everyone was confused, the camera showed the two magicians in the center of the field, and Nance walked towards the two magicians, and then he got into a black jacket, which looked like he was changing clothes from the outside.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the magician put down the black sleeve and was presented with Nance in a retro jersey, needless to say, as a tribute to his father.

The rest was as everyone had speculated, with Nance imitating his father's dunk – a backhand loop under the basket.

Somewhat regrettably, Nance failed to make the first dunk and waited until the second to complete the dunk, and the final score given by the judges was 44 points.

After the dunk of the first 4 players, they all left from the player tunnel, leaving only Zhang Feng sitting in the position, and the live camera suddenly gave him, and his dunk highlights in the regular season began to be played on the big screen.

"Hey, I'm here" Carter's voice sounded behind Zhang Feng, "What's the situation now".

"None of them can fight......"
