Chapter 132: The First Deduction of the Preliminaries

The impressive slam dunk contest is finally about to begin.

The star-studded scene saw NBA stars leave their games behind and enjoy the All-Star Weekend.

The judging panel of this year's slam dunk contest is a strong lineup, which is Yao Ming, Mutombo, Olajuwon, Drexler and Tomjanovich. Obviously, this arrangement of the alliance is also to reflect the authentic Houston characteristics.

The addition of Yao Ming became a highlight of the Houston All-Star Game, where Yao and Maddy were once the main players on the court at the Toyota Center, but now he has to take on another job, and if Webb "Potato" set the record for the shortest judge in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, then Yao Ming will also set the highest record. Appeared in the finale with the Rockets, and Da Yao was also "under a lot of pressure", but even so, he still did not forget to show "Yao-style humor", in an earlier interview, Yao Ming laughed: "My participation has lowered the average age of the judges in the slam dunk contest." ”

In the Rockets jury, only Drexler is a real "dunk", as early as 1984 when the first slam dunk contest was held, ****** participated, he has participated in 5 times, but only reached the finals in 1989, and finally lost to Kenny Walker, so in the evaluation of dunk players, ****** has the most say.

The rules of the slam dunk contest have also been reformed, and the rights of the judges have been reduced, and the five judges only have the right to decide the results of the first round, and as for the final result of the game, it still needs to be voted on by fans.

When introducing the players, Sun Xiaotian was the second to enter the East, and today's Sun Xiaotian wore a classic red training uniform during the Bulls' six-game winning streak, and when the host introduced him, he deliberately stretched his voice, "Welcome rookie guard from the Chicago Bulls, from Shanghai, China, the best rookie favorite, Sun-Xiao-Tian!!!" When he appeared, he waved and smiled at the fans, and the scene erupted in thunderous cheers.

The eastern team is: Steven Gerrard. Green, Terrence. Rose and Sun Xiaotian, Team West are: Jeremy Evans, Eric Bledsoe, and Kenneth Faried.

The two sides chose the order of play by flipping a coin, with the eastern team playing first, and Sun Xiaotian being ranked last in the east. The first dunk was by Green, and Rose was the second.

Joining Green was his Pacers teammate Stephenson, and the two men talked and discussed the details before the start began.

As the clock began, the two men walked to the left baseline, with Stephenson in front of him and Green in the back. Then, Stephenson started along the baseline, Green followed, Stephenson immediately threw the ball to the side of the rebound, Green then jumped hard, almost jumped from the back of the rebound to the front of the rebound, caught the ball with both hands behind his back, drooped the ball to the crotch, and then went up hard, it was a dunk.

Green's dunk was swift and clean, and in slow motion, the back of Green's head almost hit the basket.

The on-site commentator shouted over and over again: "The dunk king is back!" The King of Slams is back! ”

Yao Ming and other five judges all gave a perfect score of 10, and Green scored 50 points on the first dunk, which doubled the pressure on Ross and Sun Xiaotian. Because this time the East and West are not confrontational, the final is a decisive battle between the winners of the East and West. If Sun Xiaotian wants to advance to the finals, he must stand out from the eastern team in order to face off against the winner in the west.

Rose's first dunk was a bit tortuous, and he was very creative, dribbling in from the right and then leaping into the air and turning 360 degrees, while the ball switched from his left hand to his right hand behind his back, and then split the dunk.

Although the first attempt was unsuccessful, Rose's creativity really shocked the audience, and Paul, Wade and other stars stood up one after another. Rose then tried 5 more times, almost when time ran out, before he finally succeeded.

Rose seems to be a little disappointed after the success, this should be his forte, this season, Rose often plays the top ten dunks, with excellent physical fitness, he has become the new favorite of Toronto this season, and is called another Carter by Raptors fans.

However, the jury still gave him a perfect score of 50, perhaps because of his skill and creativity, and because Rose insisted on completing the dunk after so many times, did not change the move, and finally completed it.

When Sun Xiaotian came out, his wonderful dunk at the rookie challenge was scrolled on the big screen at the scene, and almost all the players around the court stood up, looking forward to his dunk today, because as witnesses, they witnessed the first all-star dunk contest in which the yellow race participated today.

Sun Xiaotian has no assistant, and his first button is to be completed by himself.

When the referee signaled that it was okay to start, Sun Xiaotian took off his training uniform, revealing a bright red Bulls jersey with "23" printed on it.

Being able to dunk in size 23 is more or less a challenge in addition to paying tribute! At the very least, it will give people the feeling that "his dunk will definitely not be too bad, or it will not be too big".

Sun Xiaotian picked up the ball and walked to the right side of 45 degrees, and then threw the ball to the paint area, and then he ran away, when the ball touched the ground and bounced in the air, Sun Xiaotian jumped up, with his back to the basket, his right hand passed the ball under his right leg like the moon in the air, a crotch changed hands, and then the left hand grabbed the ball is a one-handed backdunk!!

The fans at the scene were boiling all at once, and the stars on the sidelines made all kinds of exaggerated expressions of surprise.

Live narrator does a "Oh my! Oh my God! I was really taken aback.

In slow-motion replay, the back of Sun Xiaotian's head had already crossed the basket, and it was even higher than the first dunk of Green's jump.

Undisputedly, the jury also gave a perfect score of 50.

At the end of the first round of the Eastern Team preliminaries, all three players scored perfect points. In the Western Conference's ensuing dunk, Evans scored 47 points, and Bledsoe and Faried both scored only 39 points.

This is something that many people didn't expect, and in this way, the civil war of the Eastern team may become the biggest attraction of this slam dunk contest, because one of them must fight his way out. Therefore, after the three of them got full marks in the first deduction, the three of them in the second deduction will do their best to fight for the promotion place.
