Chapter 393: I Speak for Shooting
"Can't lose...... Right? "Emperor Wu is obviously pretending to be big again, but he pretended to be 13 himself, and he has to finish it when he starts to do it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "yes, my left hand has been useless for a long time, and I almost forgot about it. Wu Huang finally remembered his left hand, which he almost didn't practice, and decisively fought for his character in the second ball.
"Huh!" The beautiful sound in his ears made Wu Huang feel confident in his heart, but he didn't dare to throw every orange ball with his left hand, according to more than a year of observation, he found that his left hand would work at a critical moment every once in a while, but just like there was a hidden MP, it would not be effective after a few times. And the more important the game, the more important the key ball, the less time his left hand lasts.
He's also tried to shoot with his left hand after a while of CD, and the results still worked, and continued a little more often.
"Damn, it's like fantasy, how do we feel it's purely psychological." Emperor Wu never believed that his left hand was so miraculous, and he attributed this phenomenon to psychological effects. Now this situation made his confidence rise, first hit the remaining orange balls one by one with his right hand, and when the time was left with the last 6 seconds, Wu Huang only had the last flower ball left in front of him - he won three consecutive championships if he threw it, and if he couldn't shoot, he would have to play overtime.
At this time, Emperor Wu knew that he couldn't lose, and his mind was suddenly full of all kinds of commotions, and he couldn't control these thoughts at all.
"How can I live if I can't make a fuss!" Wu Huang was in a commotion, and suddenly turned around in front of hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV, and then used his left hand to shoot with his back in front of the whole world.
"This ball can go in, I'll chop it directly!" Countless black fans climaxed at this moment, and when they saw Emperor Wu pretending to be overly forced to turn his back, they immediately swore an oath.
"Damn, can this go in?" However, less than a second later, the 60e cultists were really orgasming!
“fuck!” The contestants on the sidelines all felt that they had been hurt by tons, and Lefu in particular felt that he had been insulted from head to toe by Wu Huang.
This kind of ball that can't be scored no matter how you look at it, no matter how you look at it, you have to hit the human ball in the end, and finally fell into that damn hole, is he really the reincarnation of Lady Luck's husband?
O'Neill opened his big mouth at this moment and complained, "It's so damned! Since two years ago, I've noticed that there is a bad element mixed in with this league, and there are also some bad phenomena -- a lot of long-range threes. I would like to strongly criticize that this phenomenon is contrary to the original purpose of basketball, greatly reducing the excitement of the game, and also affecting the service life of basketball. That's why I've been suggesting that the league introduce a new rule: no shots are allowed beyond the three-point line! But now I think I should add one more: no turning around and shooting outside the three-point line!! ”
Barkley scoffed: "Your proposal is not a cure, the new rules should be like this: in a single game, the whole team can not make more than 10 three-point shots, and a single player cannot make more than 5 times." Of course, this suggestion I am not aimed at any one player, but just to make the basketball game more confrontational and exciting. ”
Reggie Miller was amused by the two: "Your rule is not reasonable, why is it okay to vote 5 and not 6?" I don't think it's going to work, it's not going to work. So I'm suggesting that the league do away with three-point shooting and that shooting over 20 feet is a violation. ”
O'Neal was obviously a little overexcited by Wu Huang's magical performance at the moment, and couldn't help but hack James by the way: "This suggestion is very good, but since this is the case, then I suggest that a new rule be introduced, and you can take eight steps to make a layup count as three points." ”
Barkley looked at O'Neal, who was out of control, and was already laughing in his heart!
He had already come up with these words of O'Neill, but he didn't even dare to say it with his big mouth, but as soon as O'Neill, a rookie commentator, became excited, he couldn't control his mouth, and he was really too young!
Wu Huang has already raised his hands and circled the arena for a week, and this magic fans who are hostile to him have to write the word "suit", and the fans who are shocked by their jaws and eyeballs are applauding and cheering! When the camera showed Howard on the sidelines, even the monster was applauding vigorously with a question mark on his face.
The Holy Sect Master's performance in this three-point contest is perfect and excessive, from now on, his title of "NBA No. 1 Marksman" is finalized, even if the latecomer can play similar statistics to him in the game, but if he can't replicate his legend in the three-point contest, it will be a head lower.
Now it can be said that in the future, the NBA will be endorsed by Wu Huang in the words "shooting", "three-pointer", "marksman", etc., and anyone who mentions these keywords must first worship him, the "god of shooting".
"Hugo, can you tell us why you chose to turn your back on your last throw?" The first thing the reporter asked was his last ball.
After Wu Huang scored the last goal, he was also a little excited, and only stopped to be interviewed by reporters after going around the field for a week.
As the existence with the highest IQ in the alliance, the Holy Sect Master knows that telling the truth after pretending to be forced is the most annoying, and it will also make many people less disgusted with his pretending behavior, so he smiled: "It's very simple, because I can't throw in and I can play overtime, so why not let my championship be more exciting and dramatic?" "It's All-Star Weekend, it's a place for players and fans to relax, and there's a lot more to the game than just winning or losing, so I chose to bring more drama to everyone as compensation for not having the spoof talent of O'Neal and Dwight." ”
Brandon, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Wu Huang in his heart, he, the agent, never had to worry about Wu Huang dealing with the media, Wu Huang handled these things better than many public relations teams, and he didn't have the stiff taste of memorizing scripts.
It's no secret that public figures memorize scripts in front of the media, and even when U.S. President O'Bull shows off his humor in public, he is shown a script at the table.
When Emperor Wu visited the White House with the team before, he saw that the black president always looked down at his manuscript when he spoke, which shows that his eloquence is the credit of the team. But that's the reality, otherwise do you really think that those politicians will be able to exit one by one?
In fact, these people have a whole team behind them, and the secretaries are not dry meals, including some Hollywood superstars and sports superstars in public, and even the questions they answer are pre-arranged.
If you let them be interviewed when they are not prepared, you will find that their eloquence is not as good. In fact, this situation will also occur, it is impossible to arrange everything in advance, and at this time you will find that many people's eloquence has dropped n times in an instant, and when answering questions, they not only talk a lot of nonsense, but also always fail to get to the point, and the speed of speech has become slurred, and even stammering, because this is their real level.
Wu Huang is much stronger than most public figures, he is one of the few celebrities who does not need to arrange questions and scripts in advance, and when facing the media, he can talk endlessly and rarely say the wrong thing.
"Getting 30 points in the preliminaries, of course, was a matter of luck, I remember that I rarely threw this kind of result in training, and today I was able to have such a perfect performance, and I can only say that beautiful Orlando brought me good luck. And I want to thank the fans who cheered me on, as well as my ex-girlfriend Tika, and my current girlfriend, Miss-Liberty. Wu Huang refers to the goddess of luck and the goddess of liberty, "However, luck does not bring me a champion, I must have the strength before I can have luck, so if you want to learn from me, you must first have the strength." ”
The writers said: "I knew you would say that, Made, if you don't pretend to be forced, can you die?!" ”
Wu Huang didn't want to answer too many questions, and after briefly answering a few questions from reporters, he said: "Okay, there is a slam dunk contest to be held next, my task has been completed, and now I have to take pictures and leave, and we will see you at the press conference in a while." He means not to delay the slam dunk contest, but this is not something he can control, this year's three-point contest he participated in has completely overshadowed the dunk contest, and most fans are still immersed in his magical performance at the moment, and the limelight of the dunk contest has been stolen by him.
Wu Huang didn't know that the influence of the All-Star Contest had an effect that even he couldn't have imagined at this time, and Brandon's agency would have been blown up by the giant manufacturers in Europe!
This three-point contest has increased Wu Huang's endorsement value by at least 20%, and his influence in Europe has increased by at least 50%.
"I speak for the shot!" UA has quickly thought of the theme of Wu Huang's next advertisement and the design of the new sneakers, in short, it must highlight Wu Huang's style; Warner, for its part, also decided to immediately revise the script of "Slam Dunk", and even the name of the movie could be changed, this sequel should obviously highlight Wu Huang's shooting and highlight his three-point shot, he and Jordan are fundamentally different players, and the movie should be tailored to his characteristics.
If we talk about Dr. J, Jordan and Carter and others are endorsed for dunks, Stockton and Magic and others are endorsed for passing, O'Neal and Malone are endorsed for power, and Iverson and Rose are endorsed for speed...... So there is only one person who is qualified to endorse the shooting, because his level and influence in this field obviously surpass others, those former mid-range shooting kings, three-point kings, and so on...... At this moment, they have all become the existence of the shorter generation in front of him, and these people are no longer qualified to be on an equal footing with Emperor Wu.
After receiving the trophy from David Stern himself, Wu Huang once again donated the poor prize money to his foundation. Then he came to the press conference and continued to be bombarded by the media.
"Are you really not going to compete in the three-point contest again?" At the press conference, the reporters asked a question that fans wanted to know.
"Yes, I've already said that it doesn't make much sense to go back to competition after winning three in a row, and I've made it through today, so there's nothing more to challenge me in this competition. So, if I don't have four or five titles to challenge me in the future, I won't be out again. ”
"So are you planning to participate in the slam dunk contest? Will this be a new challenge? This is also a question that is of great interest to fans, and everyone is eager to see the Holy Master appear in the slam dunk contest in the future.
"I know people have always wanted to see me perform dunks, and it's not impossible, but first of all, the league can't ask too much of a player." "We had a busy day on Friday, most of Saturday, and in the evening we were there for a series of activities. On weekends, we have to leave the hotel 3-4 hours early, go to the All-Star site to take pictures, continue to do all sorts of things, and then play in the evening. It's a complicated process to put it mildly, but we all want to and need to rest, and it's too hard to go to the slam dunk contest in this state. But if we don't have to do that much every day, we just have to go out and shoot a three-pointer and dunk a basket, that's great. But it's unlikely, you don't know how much we're going to do behind the scenes. ”
Wu Huang took the opportunity to reveal some of the All-Star Weekend process to fans: "Maybe everyone thinks that participating in the dunk contest is very simple, just dunk on the court. But that's not the case, we have to train and rehearse two nights before the game, and there are all sorts of things to do during the day, which are sometimes more wasteful than the usual games. ”
The Holy Sect Master finally said that he is willing to participate in the slam dunk contest next year or in the future, but only if the dunk is the only thing he needs to do. This way, after the competition, he can have friends and family rest for the weekend. "I would advise the league not to make so many demands on players, and I'm not against participating in the slam dunk contest myself. And this season's schedule is too dense, I still have to participate in the three-point game and the main game, and it is unlikely that I will participate in the slam dunk contest. ”
Wu Huang's explanation let some fans know the inside story, it seems that the superstars who participated in the All-Star Weekend, such as James, who broke his word several times, also have more or less helplessness, those meaningless activities in the league consume a lot of time for the players, and it is a bit difficult to ask them to participate in the game.
If the league wants to make next year's All-Star more attractive, it needs to make superstars less busy and have plenty of time to rest, and maybe stars like Wu Huang, LeBron, and Rose are really willing to participate in the slam dunk contest.
The final individual project "Slam Dunk Contest" quietly started when fans were discussing Wu Huang with each other, and it seemed very nonexistent. Coupled with the fact that it was a shrunken season, none of the four players participating in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest were top big names, and those real stars all turned down invitations from the league.
Perhaps, as Wu Huang said, in this kind of cruel competition, how can they still have the energy to perform a dunk with a high probability of injury! Although in the three rounds of dunks, several players' dunk ideas have shown their respect for their predecessors, which makes people see the deep accumulation of the NBA's passing on the torch, but it is even worse today.
The four participants in this year's slam dunk contest are Chase Battinger of the Rockets, Paul George of the Pacers, Jeremy Evans of the Jazz and Derrick Williams, a rookie of the Timberwolves.
The rules of this year's slam dunk contest have been changed, there are no more judges, no more preliminaries and finals, but a total of three rounds of dunks, and then the slam dunk king is selected through fan votes. Therefore, in this competition, the four players did not hide their clumsiness at the beginning, and showed their creativity one after another.
The theme of the first button is undoubtedly flying, with Badinger appearing first, and he flies over the rapper braggart daddy, but the flight altitude and air attitude are more ordinary, and the overall difficulty is average; Evans made his second appearance, and his idea was to put a miniature camera on the headband to give fans a different experience, but apart from the gimmick, the overall difficulty was lower than that of Badinger; George's dunk is more difficult, he flew over two players, including teammate Roy Hibbert, a big man with a height of 2.18 meters, although the final dunk is average, but the leap Hibbert itself has raised the difficulty; the last dunk is performed by Williams, the self-proclaimed dunk king, his idea is to ride a Harley motorcycle on the court, and fly over the Harley motorcycle to complete the dunk, but unfortunately this gimmick and difficulty are very average.
In general, this round of dunks is not enough gimmick, not difficult enough, not creative enough, and very bad to watch!
Wu Huang was on the sidelines, except for applauding George's dunk twice, and he had no expression or movement at all for the remaining three dunks.
This attitude may be harsh, but the "Slam Dunk Contest" itself has a name for you, and everyone is watching a high-level slam dunk performance, and this kind of community street court level stuff should not be brought to the All-Star show.
Although according to reporters, the Nets' Williams is paying tribute to a singer in Minnesota, who has appeared on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle many times, but such a singer who Wu Huang has never heard of much at all, this kind of tribute is not meaningful to the players themselves, it really doesn't resonate with them, everyone only sees an ordinary dunk without creativity.
Of course, Blake Griffin also flew over a car in last year's slam dunk contest, and if you look at it from that point of view, Williams is also paying homage to Griffin, but how can a small motorcycle compare to a car?
In the second buckle, Badinger's two-handed windmill has no special meaning, and the difficulty is already very high for him, a white man, but Wu Huang on the sidelines still shook his head, his requirements are very high, and he thinks that Badinger chooses to use the high difficulty and low creativity that black people are good at to fight against it, isn't this looking for his own death?
If a white or yellow person wants to participate in a slam dunk contest, the only way to win the championship is to rely on creativity and skill, and it is the most unwise way to compete for flight altitude.
Then Evans' dunk was so amazing that he not only flew past his assistant, but also smashed two baskets into the basket at the same time!
This ball is very similar to Javier McGee's move in the last slam dunk contest, except that McGee's idea is to dunk two balls himself, and his assistant John Wall throws another one, and dunks all three balls at the same time, which is more difficult. In addition, Larry Nance also performed a double dunk performance at the 1984 Slam Dunk Contest, which is undoubtedly another tribute to his predecessors, but a little less difficult than both predecessors.
George's dark dunk is better than creativity, but the brightness of the fluorescence is really not enough, and then the defect of insufficient difficulty is reflected, failure!
The last Williams and the "golden boy" Rubio cooperated very handsomely, Rubio smashed the ball to the side of the rebound, and Williams followed up with a 360-degree dunk in the air. It was a match that resembled that of Allen Iverson and Andre Iguodala in 2006, and very much like that of Pau Gasol and Rudy Fernandez in 2009. Of course, Iguodala and Fernandez dunked harder, and Williams' shot was more like the side-dunking dunks of Byron Davis and Griffin in last year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.
Overall, Evans' dunks were better in this round, Williams was second, and the other two dunks were more ordinary.
After the first two rounds, Wu Huang felt that George's dunk in the first round and Evans' dunk in the second round were the most exciting, and these two should have the best chance of winning the championship.
In the third dunk, the nostalgic tribute is still the theme, and Badinger's blindfolded dunk is completely modeled after the dunk that Ceballos won the championship in '92, but on top of the blindfold, he also adds a back-to-back dunk gimmick, and the sprint distance is shorter - Ceballos starts the sprint at the halfway point; But Badinger is more difficult, which is a killer feature.
Evans' dunk also pays tribute to the veteran players, but it is against Karl Malone, who is not good at fancy dunks, which is very bad. After Evans put on the clothes, he flew over the postman, touched the back of his head with his left hand, and showed off Malone's signature move to complete the dunk.
As for George, his third dunk pays homage to both Larry Bird and Dwight Howard. He slapped a big head sticker of Bird on the rebound while dunking, but it wasn't too difficult, and his touch height wasn't as high as Howard's 2007 slam dunk contest, and it took three attempts to succeed. However, it should be pointed out that his dunk is a reverse force, and then a windmill dunk is very similar to Vince Carter's signature move, except that George jumps from the side, and Carter jumps from the back of the basket, and there is naturally a gap in difficulty.
After the three rounds were completed, Barkley commented during the fan voting time: "The contestants of this year's slam dunk contest are average in strength and lack of gimmicks, but through so many tribute performances, we still see how much they attach to this competition, but in the end I want to say - 'I want to see Hugo's dunk'." ”
O'Neal ridiculed the slam dunk contest and criticized Derrick Williams by name, saying that his performance in the dunk contest was disappointing, and his level was inversely proportional to his pre-game tone, and today he was the worst of the four contestants - uncreative, undifficult, and inaccurate. Finally, the big shark sneered mercilessly: "Derek Williams may be the most physical, but his creativity and success rate are not flattering, and I refuse to rate him." ”
O'Neal and Barkley, Smith and others each held a scoreboard in the live broadcast room, and the self-appointed judges scored the participating players, and the last 10 points were not raised once, only Battinger, George and Evans each got a 9-point rating.
In the end, it was Evans of the Jazz who won the "dunk king", because the fans voted for the combined results of three rounds of dunks, and Badinger and George only had one dunk outstanding, and in the end they were naturally worse in terms of ratings. (To be continued.) )
