After the three-point shooting contest ended, Osborne was immediately surrounded by those crazy reporters, all of whom were holding long guns and short guns at Osborne and ready to wait for Osborne to speak, thanks to the security guards and referees, Osborne was able to get out.

Finally, Osborne was also interviewed by a media reporter, who asked, "Osborne, how do you feel about the defending three-point shooting contest champion?" ”
Osborne replied casually: "There are no other words to describe my excitement except happiness, I am very grateful to Ray Allen, Quentin Richardson, without them I would not have achieved such good results, they forced me to have no choice, so I got so many points." ”
"And how do you feel about next year's three-point shooting contest?"
"I don't have any feelings, it's just trying to defend the title again, like the big bird Larry Bird to complete the triple victory."
After the interview, the reporter stopped asking questions with great interest, and directly let Osborne go to interview other players.
After Osborne rested for a night, he went to the scene of the slam dunk contest the next day to watch the slam dunk contest of this year's All-Star Game, and there were few famous players on the list of participants in this year's slam dunk contest, which was different from the star-studded dunk contest in previous years, only Amare Stade Meyer was more famous, which can also be seen that the dunk contest is gradually declining.
The other players are some unknown players, such as bench player Chris Anderson, rookie JR Smith and Josh Smith, and last year's slam dunk champion Fred Jones also refused to participate in the game because he couldn't make more difficult dunk moves, Jason Richardson of the Warriors is also tired of the dunk contest, and the high hopes of Osborne and LeBron James did not participate in this event, because they are too busy, especially Osborne can barely get out, he must rest, Otherwise, he might not have been able to complete the All-Star Game.
This year's slam dunk contest has set up a total prize of 60,000 US dollars, of which the champion will receive 25,000 US dollars, the second place will receive 15,000 US dollars, and the third and fourth places will each receive 10,000 US dollars. And this year, there are only four people participating in the slam dunk contest, which means that as long as they participate in the competition, there will be a prize of 10,000 US dollars. Just like the national football team, there is money to take if you win or lose.
This year's slam dunk contest was judged by players who had participated in the 1976 Denver All-Star Slam Dunk Contest: Julius Irving, George Gervin, Ardis Gilmore, David Samps, and Larry Keane.
Osborne sat on the sidelines and watched them play, this year's slam dunk contest is really not popular, and there are not even many spectators, but the camera of such a media has captured Osborne's situation from time to time.
The first to play was rookie J.R. Smith, a nerve knife player who wanted to die when he was on time and his own when he wasn't.
The first dunk wanted to imitate Michael Jordan's free-throw line dunk action for a gliding dunk, but this guy seemed to have forgotten two things, the first free throw line was longer from the basket, and the second he was not Michael Jordan, nor Michael Jordan's airpower, so the first dunk JR Smith gave us a big embarrassment.
When Jr Smith was halfway through the glide, the basketball couldn't grasp it and wanted to get out, he hurriedly completed the action, but the basketball hit the edge of the basket directly, and bounced back and hit his head, he came to the back of his horse and fell to the ground alone, and immediately laughed directly on the sidelines, and J.R. Smith also stood up in a daze as if he had been knocked out.
After the first attempt failed, JR Smith finally became more honest, and didn't make any big news, and then threw the basketball directly forward when he made up the dunk, he accelerated and ran, picked up the basketball and completed a 360° turn in the sky with both hands to dunk, the movement stretched well, but the dunk action was a little simple, so the first dunk only scored 43 points, seeing this score JR Smith was obviously not satisfied, he sprayed at the referee and didn't know what to say, but the referee directly signaled him to continue the game.
He reluctantly started the second dunk, this time he wanted to come to an ingenious dunk, he held a basketball in his left hand and right hand, and then threw it directly to the rebound, he accelerated again and ran directly to the empty dunk, but this dunk has a certain degree of difficulty, you must pay attention to the order, otherwise you can't get in, but unfortunately his idea is not very good, but the ornamentation is not very good, so the referee still gave him a decent score, 45 points, so he was really angry, He thought he should have scored 50 points, but the referee ignored his plea and announced the next player in the game, giving J.R. Smith 88 points.
The second place is Chris Anderson, he is not the tattooed birdman Anderson now, he is still a little green, his first dunk is very simple is a self-throwing and self-grabbing 360 ° turn dunk, the action is done well, the first dunk is directly successful, the referee gave a 42 points, because his action has not been JR Smith's stretch.
He didn't have any fancy moves in the second dunk, that is, he asked someone else to send the basketball to his hands, and then he received the basketball crotch to change hands and dunk, he also completed this ball well, and the action was quite stretched, but the technical difficulty was not high, and the referee still gave a 45 points, so he got 87 points, one point less than Jr Smith.
The third one to play is Josh Smith, he is very clean and neat, without saying a word, the first dunk directly let Kenyon Martin stand as a target, he wants to perform a cross-man dunk, the first ball he was not able to complete, because he did not step over, but stopped, when the dunk Josh Smith changed an angle, this time he finally had a certainty, after receiving the pass, he stepped directly over Kenyon Martin to complete the dunk.
The first dunk was very exciting, he got almost a full score of 49 points, and the second dunk he came to a simple hanging wheel arm big windmill dunk, this action was very stretched, and the viewing was very high, so the judges gave another 49 points, so he got 98 points, and there was no problem in advancing to the finals.
The last one to appear is the little bully Amare Stademeyer, his first dunk is very simple, that is, a turning windmill dunk, although the action is simple and the viewing is still good, the judges gave 45 points, the second dunk his action is very complicated, it seems that he wants to add all the actions that can be added, but unfortunately his bounce height is limited, the basketball was barely deducted, and he still scored 45 points, so he got 90 points, beating JR Smith and Chris Anderson to enter the finals.
In the finals, Stoudemire played first, his first dunk was to receive his teammates' serve and turn the body to explode the dunk, the action was completed very well, he scored 45 points, and the second dunk was a bit of a failure, he wanted to learn from those low players to dunk across people, but unfortunately his height was too tall, so it was very uncoordinated when he finally completed this action, and finally barely deducted it, only scored 40 points, he scored a total of 85 points, it seems that if nothing else, the crown of the dunk king is Josh Smith's.
Josh Smith is also not polite, the first dunk in the final left hand to catch the big windmill dunk successfully, the action is clean and sharp, the viewing is very high, the judges unanimously gave 50 points, the second dunk in the air turned 360 degrees to receive the big windmill dunk still got 50 points, and finally Josh Smith beat Amarestad Meyer with a perfect score of 100 points to win the championship of the dunk contest.
