Chapter 85: Proof of Dunk (2)

Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, Howard played, and countless fans were looking forward to his second dunk.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, I saw Howard wearing a blue Superman tracksuit, wearing a red Superman cloak, smiling comically and waving his hand.

Kenny Smith said, "It's a good idea, and no matter how well it is buttoned, it looks a little bit different in a Superman outfit. ”

Standing in the midcourt, Howard looked solemn, and it was obvious that this dunk was not easy.

Howard accelerated, caught a basketball thrown by a teammate in the air at the free throw line, and then dunked the basketball into the basket with great force.

Barkley shook his body and shouted, "Free throw line, free throw line dunk!" ”

It's no wonder that Barkley lost his temper, and the fans in the audience also exclaimed, and the big screen replayed Howard's shocking dunk over and over again.

Kenny Smith analyzed: "This dunk is definitely a perfect score, and it is definitely cheating if you don't give a full score!" ”

Kenny Smith's words speak to the hearts of fans, and the free-throw line dunk deserves full points, although it is an aerial relay free-throw line jump, but it is equally shocking.

Free throw line dunks have a long history.

The inventor of the free-throw line jump dunk was "Dr. J" Julius Irving. In the 1976 slam dunk contest, Irving and the Denver Nuggets' "Skywalker" David Thompson had a hard to crack, and in the decisive third dunk, Irving started to sprint from the backcourt, took off in front of the free throw line, and smashed the ball into the basket amid the deafening cheers of the audience, and won the championship logically.

Slow motion shows that Irving has stepped on the free-throw line with one foot before taking off, but that doesn't stop him from being great, and this dunk has become the origin of the free-throw line jump dunk.

Jordan chose a free-throw line jumping dunk in each of the three dunk contests to pay tribute to "Dr. J."

In 1985, Jordan played in the slam dunk contest as a rookie, and he had already leaked his intentions by stepping in front of the free throw line, and Jordan finally accomplished the feat, and the footage shows Jordan's foot slightly over the free throw line.

If the first attempt in 1985 was difficult to call a real free-throw line dunk, then the 1987 and 1988 dunks were even more not, because Jordan almost crossed the free-throw line with half a foot when he jumped, but the judges still gave a perfect score for face, and Jordan was able to defend the honor of the dunk king.

Crawford's face was solemn and he said: "This dunk is much better than Jordan and Dr. J, Howard weighs much more than Jordan and Dr. J, but he can also complete the free throw line dunk." ”

Li Zhi nodded, agreeing with Crawford's statement.

Several judges showed their scores: "1o points, 1o points, 1o points, 1o points, 1o points." ”

It's a perfect score again!

Zhang Weiping sighed: "Howard is now full of 100 points, the pressure is all on Li Zhi, if the second dunk fails to score a full score, I'm afraid this year's dunk king is Howard!" ”

Howard's double perfect score stimulated the "Li Hei", and they shouted on the Internet.

"Did you see it clearly, before the game, you bragged about winning the dunk king, you thought too much."

"The NBA is the world of black people, although Li Zhi is good, but it is really worse than black people."

"Sit back and wait for the monster to slap Li Zhi in the face!"

……

On the side, Gerald Green was under more pressure than Richie, with Howard being a center and scoring perfect points on both dunks, while Gerald Green scored only 91 points overall.

Before the game, Gerald Green and Howard had the same probability of winning the championship, but they didn't expect a Li Zhi to jump out in the middle and score a full score on the first dunk.

No one likes the taste of putting their fate in the hands of others, and he can only pray to God to let Li Zhi deduct the second under 41 points.

Howard listened to the applause of the audience, did not dance, and his eyes fell on Li Zhi.

Feeling Howard's gaze, Li Zhi smiled slightly, he came to the championship in the slam dunk contest, and this dunk must be full score.

Li Zhi lowered his head and said something in Crawford's ear, and Crawford frowned.

"George, no, it's too dangerous."

Li Zhi shook his head and walked into the field himself, and Crawford sighed.

Barkley said: "Oh, Richie is playing alone, and Jamal doesn't look good, is George going to change his tactics temporarily?" ”

Indeed, Richie's second dunk was originally a dunk with Crawford, but now the pressure is so great that he has to change his attention.

Li Zhi said something to the referee, and then ran to the sideline and asked a young fan for a headband.

Everyone didn't understand what Li Zhi wanted, and when they were thinking about Li Zhi's intentions, they saw Li Zhi blindfolded with a headband.

"Oh......" the fans exclaimed.

Howard was shocked, looked at Li Zhi holding a basketball with a cigarette, and said to himself: "Isn't it, blindfolded dunk?" ”

Li Zhi's actions made many people guess his intentions, and even several judges couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time showed anticipation.

In the history of the NBA, it's not that no one dunked blindfolded, but it was a blindfolded jump dunk, not a blindfolded dribble dunk.

The 1992 Slam Dunk Contest. Larry Johnson, Starks, Anderson and Ceballos reached the semi-finals. Larry Johnson and Ceballos made it to the final.

In the third dunk, Ceballos changed the famous "face-covering dunk" of the previous champion Di Brown to a "blind dunk" blindfolded with a black cloth, which amazed the audience and commentators, and scored a perfect score of 50 points, and finally locked the championship.

This kind of dunk is also a novelty, but it is actually not that difficult, because it has already jumped, calculated the distance, and seen where the hoop is, even if it is blindfolded, it will not have much impact on itself.

It's the same as being caught in the eyes when shooting, and many people can still shoot.

But if you directly blindfold you, and then run, jump, and dunk, the difficulty is completely different.

Li Zhi's dunk is more difficult than Ceballos's dunk, because he can't see the direction clearly, he can't discern the dribble route, let alone dunk.

Howard scolded: "Damn, it's a blindfolded dunk." ”

While Howard was scolding, Gerald Green was expecting Li Zhi not to speak.

But Gerard Green's curse was not fulfilled, and Lee Zhi was seen standing in the center circle, measuring the distance back and forth to the basket a few steps, and then dribbling the basketball.

The fans held their breath and tried not to affect Li Zhi at all.

Li Zhi dribbled extremely fast, and in an instant he was close to the basket, and many people doubted whether Li Zhi could jump at the right time.

A few seconds later, Li Zhi dribbled to a meter away from the basket, then picked it up and smashed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

"Boom!"

The sound of smashing the basket was deafening, and all the fans were shocked, and at the same time gasped in their hearts.

"Not human!"

Gerard Green had this idea in his heart, and at the same time showed bitterness on his face, he had been eliminated, and Richie's dunk was definitely a perfect score.
