Chapter 413: The most difficult dunk in history
With a total score of 49 points, the highest score for the first dunk in the first round, Mitchell, Dennis Smith, and Nance Jr., who had returned to the sidelines, had nervous expressions on their faces, and Zhang Feng performed a 360-degree dunk at the free throw line as soon as he came up, giving them too much pressure.
But Oladipo didn't care, maybe he felt that he only scored 31 points in the first dunk anyway, and there was no hope of reaching the finals, but he had no ambition at all.
After a little rectification, the second dunk of the first round began, and the first appearance was Oladipo.
I saw him walking to the other side of the court, and the camera followed his footsteps, and when the audience saw the starring "Black Panther" sitting on the sidelines, they seemed to understand something.
Oladipo participated in the slam dunk contest last time, and the play was also very well prepared, he sang a song to enter, which made Rihanna, who was at the scene laugh, and this time he interacted with the starring role of "Black Panther", and there may be some new tricks.
Sure enough, the Black Panther lead actor took out the prop he used in the movie - the Black Panther Hood, which Oladipo took and put on his head, and the audience finally figured out that what Oladipo was going to stage this time was to advertise for the Black Panther movie.
How is the effect of advertising, it depends on the effect of the dunk, Oladipo started from the left bottom line, held the ball with both hands and went straight to the basket, after entering the paint area, he jumped high, folded his hands and pressed down, but he did not immediately raise his hand to dunk after pressing down, but picked up the basketball and spun it to the right, thinking of a small windmill dunk.
Unfortunately, the first attempt was unsuccessful, due to the lack of jumping height, he smashed the ball on the edge of the hoop after picking the ball with both hands, but Oladipo's entire dunk action can be described as full of creativity and difficulty, and the audience immediately burst into encouraging applause.
Fortunately, on the second attempt, Oladipo changed his strategy, accelerated from the sideline with one hand, and after jumping to the basket, he reached the height standard and dunked the ball steadily.
After a period of deliberation, all five judges gave 8 points, for a total of 40 points.
The second to play was Dennis Smith, who did not score well in the first round, Zhang Feng, Nance Jr., and Mitchell were all ahead of him, and if he wanted to reach the finals, he had to show his housekeeping skills.
Also starting from the left sideline, Dennis quickly rushed to the inside, and after stepping into the paint zone, he spun and jumped with the ball in his right hand, and then connected to a crotch change in the air, and finally tried to dunk with his left hand.
Like Oladipo, Dennis' dunk was too difficult to complete, and he hurried back to the touchline to continue his attempt.
"If it works, he should get a perfect score for this dunk, but he's not much of a threat to you."
"It's okay, finally there is one that can play, maybe it can catch up with the excitement of your year"
"Then we'll make a big move later?"
"Go straight to it, seek stability, in case you don't make it to the finals, it will be embarrassing"
"That ChrisRock is also weird, there's no reason not to give you a perfect score......"
Carter and Zhang Feng stood in the player tunnel and chatted, and the scores of the five judges were the same as Carter's guess, all of them gave 10 points.
"MR Chris, is this dunk really worth 10 points more than Zhang Feng's just now?"
O'Neal's tone was full of 'respect', and Chris Rock thought for a long time with a dark face, and finally said: "Of course, Smith's dunk is very creative, I have never seen a dunk like this before......"
"That's because you don't watch the ball much, don't say it and be ashamed," O'Neal said disdainfully.
In the blink of an eye, Nance Jr. was on the court, he went straight to the baseline, stood behind the rebound and began to observe, and measured the distance with his feet.
A few seconds later, Nance Jr. accelerated from the baseline, he rushed to the basket and turned to jump, and pulled out a big windmill with his backhand to dunk directly.
"The aesthetics of this dunk are good, but the creativity is a little worse, and the difficulty is a little less, it should be about 45 points, what do you think?" Carter asked.
"It's okay, but I think there may be 49-50 points, these judges score more leniently, after all, there is no good dunk," Zhang Feng thought about it and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the five judges scored, and as he said, Nance Jr. scored 49 points.
"Why the hell do you give it a 10? You won't tell me that this dunk is more creative than Zhang Feng's just now, right? Or have you never seen a dunk like this before?" O'Neal fired again after the score was announced.
"I'll admit, Nance's dunk wasn't any better than the Chinese in terms of creativity, but it was very infectious...... "Chris Rock said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, you've already used 2 reasons, I see if you can come up with any novel reasons later, I'll wait for ......."
After O'Neal finished speaking, Mitchell came on, and his first-round score was not bad, but Smith's 50 points, Nance Jr.'s 49 points, and Zhang Feng's explosive dunk made his brow furrow.
He walked to the halfcourt, took off his coat, revealing the Jazz retro jersey, and then accelerated to the hoop, and when he reached the free throw line, he threw the ball to the rebound.
Needless to say, Mitchell wanted to play a board toss, but just a dunk was certainly not enough, but unfortunately the audience didn't wait for his next move before his dunk failed.
Just when the crowd thought he was going to try again, Mitchell walked to the sideline, called his sister on, and then walked to the other side to invite Kevin Hart to play.
At the same time, his Jazz teammates also ran out of the players' tunnel to stand under the rebound, and after some arrangement, the audience finally understood that Mitchell was going to play a dunk that leaped over the crowd.
Mitchell started from the sideline, sprinted quickly to his teammate's side, then jumped up to receive a board pass from his teammate, and then flew past Kevin Hart and his sister to dunk the ball into the hoop.
"What do you think of this ball? I think it's 50 points," Carter said in a slightly worried tone.
"50 points is 50 points, and when our creativity is shown, even ChirsRock must give full marks," Zhang Feng's tone was full of confidence.
"I wonder if he's really targeting you, Kevin Hart shouldn't be talking nonsense, have you offended him in any way?" Carter was still a little worried.
"I don't know, I don't want to know, you know, I've always liked to talk with strength, let's go, it's time for us to play" Zhang Feng stretched out his hand and asked Carter to go first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please give your warmest applause to the winner of the 2000 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Vince Cartert!"
With the cheers of the audience, Carter and Zhang Feng walked out of the players' tunnel, and the host walked to the two and handed the microphone to Carter.
"Hey, Carter, are you here to help Zhang Feng complete the dunk?"
"Yes!"
"Can you tell us about your idea first?"
"Is that okay?" Carter tilted his head to ask, and Zhang Feng nodded.
"Listen, next, I'm going to complete the most difficult dunk in history with Zhang Feng"
