Chapter 66: Slam Dunk Contest

On February 5th, the second day of All-Star Weekend, there will be a three-point contest and a slam dunk contest, or at the Madison Square Garden Arena, the first thing to be held is the three-point contest, last year Jonny overshadowed all the three-point shooters with two perfect scores, and this year Jonny knows that no matter how he shoots, he will not be able to surpass his own record last year. yan()kuai

So Naturally, Jonny didn't choose to participate in the three-point contest again, and maybe he won't participate in it in the future.

And this three-point contest is a bit boring, and it was Jeff Hornacek who won the championship in the end, but just after the three-point contest ended, some people shouted that this three-point contest is the worst three-point contest in history. The reason is very simple, Jeff Hornacek's scores in several rounds are very low, with 17 points, 15 points and 16 points in the three rounds, and in the final, in the face of competition from Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, Jeff Hornacek actually won the championship with an ultra-low score of 13 points!

Such a result, compared with last year's Jonny's double perfect score, is naturally a heaven and a earth.

Soon after the end of the three-point contest, it was the slam dunk contest, and the 12 contestants of the dunk contest entered one after another, in order to show the grandeur of the slam dunk contest, the 12 players entered one by one, and each appearance triggered the cheers of the audience. Especially the first few appearances, Jonny Lee, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Clyde Drexler.

When the 12 people sat on the bench in a row, the judges also appeared one after another. As in previous years, there are still five judges, but considering the heavyweight of this year's slam dunk contest, the league has also strengthened the heavyweight of the slam dunk contest judges.

Dominic Wilkins, who clamored to participate in this slam dunk contest, was the first to appear, and then, the first slam dunk contest champion, defeated Julius Irving, Clyde Drexler, and won the championship, Larry Nans, who won the championship, was the second judge, and then, Julius Irving, who is considered the first dunk player in the NBA, became the third judge.

Then, the league's famous referee Dick Bavita became the fourth judge, but some media believe that Dick Bavita appeared on the judges' bench. It's because the league wants to control the outcome of the game, and of course, whether this speculation is true or not cannot be confirmed. The fifth referee was Potato Sbert Webb, who was the short dunker. Potato Webb is also a legend in the slam dunk world.

The five judges, except for Dick Bavita, are all legends in the dunk world, and such a lineup of judges is obviously very heavyweight.

12 players dunk in turn, which takes a lot of time. Before the start of the game, the league also arranged media interviews, and Jonny was stopped by reporters during the warm-up.

"Jonny, this slam dunk contest is considered the strongest dunk contest in history, are you nervous?" This kind of pre-game question is basically some non-nutritious questions, and the answers to this kind of questions are unique.

Hearing this, Jonny smiled and said, "Of course I'm nervous, but I'm confident." ”

Then the reporter asked one last boring question, and Jonny answered again with a non-questionable answer, and then went to warm up.

Jonny's warm-up is also very exciting. All kinds of reflexive dunks and folding dunks, although they are relatively simple dunks, but in general, Jonny's dunks are still very smooth and energetic, and the fans on the sidelines also cheered along with Jonny's rhythm.

Soon, the warm-up was over, and in order to make this super-many slam dunk contest more fair, the league chose to use a lottery to determine the order of appearance, and the order of the draw was naturally the order of registration, and Jonny was the first to draw lots. The No. 6 draw means that Jonny will play in No. 6.

And the order of the other draws has also come out, and the order of appearance is as follows: Clyde Drexler, Michael Jordan, Cedric Sebarros, Ray Allen, Sean Kemp, Kobe Bryant, Jonny Lee, Tracy McGrady, Isaiah Ryder, John Starks, Brent Barry, Harold Mayer.

And Jonny's seventh appearance is still quite good.

The first to come out was Clyde Drexler. The old glider can be said to be the worst one in this slam dunk contest, and the first appearance can earn a lot of advantages, after all, the first judge will always give some preferential treatment.

The glider is indeed old, and his first dunk chose a more difficult move, he wanted to do a folding reflexive dunk, but tried several times in a row without success. This can't help but sigh, after all, you must know that Clyde Drexler's stagnation at his peak was quite perverted, but now it is obviously not good.

After several attempts, the glider barely passed, and the judges gave him a total score of 45 points, which is a fair score, although it is still a bit high, after all, Clyde Drexler's dunk is too reluctant.

Next up was Michael Jordan, and when Michael Jordan played, there was a huge cheer at the Madison Square Garden Arena. After all, Michael Jordan at this time has achieved the throne, no matter in which city, there is a legend of Michael Jordan, and New York is no exception. What's more, this is Michael Jordan's second slam dunk contest after 10 years!

Michael Jordan took a deep breath in the center of the court, then started to take off with the ball, rushing straight to the basket.

When he rushed to the free throw line two steps, Michael Jordan jumped straight up, a counterclockwise loop, and then a clockwise loop, directly into the basket!

"Oh! Boston Windmills! This is Jonny's version of Michael Jordan's iconic Carolina windmill, which was first used by Jonny, but now Michael Jordan actually used this dunk in his first dunk, which is really beautiful! ”

"That's right, it's very beautiful, even more beautiful than Jonny's Boston windmill, but Jonny's Boston windmill was used in the game confrontation, and Michael Jordan ran directly to complete this dunk, which is obviously simpler."

"The judges' scores are out, and all of them are 10 points! Out! Michael Jordan's first dunk was a perfect score! ”

Jonny was a little speechless off the court, Michael Jordan actually used his dunk, what did he do? Jonny was originally going to use this dunk in the first round, after all, it's best not to dunk too well in the first round, otherwise how to play in the semifinals?

Now Jonny is obviously about to change his plan, and the first dunk can only be used for other dunks.

The third player to appear was Cedric Sebarros, whose first dunk was relatively simple, a folding dunk that rushed into the interior and scored 40 points, and it is very normal for Cedric Sebaroz to score only 40 points in the end when the first two took out difficult dunks.

Next up was Ray Allen, who showed off a one-armed windmill directly, but the overall fluency was a little worse, and he only scored 40 points in the end.

And Sean Kemp, who came out next, came to a flower job, rushed out from behind the rebound, and scored 45 points with a reflexive dunk, which is the highest score among the first few players.

And then Kobe Bryant came in. (To be continued.) )
