Chapter 63: Slam Dunk Contest

This year's three-point contest is undoubtedly the most exciting one, this year's three-point contest will be recorded in history, a single three-point contest has two perfect scores, a single full score is already unprecedented, not to mention the amazing two perfect scores, recorded in this year's three-point contest, it seems so fragile, it was broken lightly, as if it gives people the feeling that there is no difficulty, but the fact is really not difficult?

Of course, it's not without difficulty, if it's really not difficult, then it should have been broken a long time ago, or the record should have been improved, and it wouldn't have been until now that there was a full score, and the full score is indeed very difficult, as long as you have participated in the three-point contest, you know how difficult it is.

The three-point contest is over, and it is over in the reluctant eyes of all the spectators and fans, you must know that the next is the slam dunk contest, and the previous fans hope to end the three-point contest as soon as possible, so as to come to the dunk contest as soon as possible. And now it's the opposite of before, just when Ray Allen executed the shot, many fans were praying for Ray Allen to score two fewer points, and they hoped to continue to watch the three-point contest, but Ray Allen didn't get two more points as they wanted, eliminated Durant and took the three-point contest championship in their hands.

When Ray Allen got a perfect score before, they thought that the game had ended early, and the championship fell into his hands in advance, and then in the end Durant let them see what a miracle is a miracle in a miracle, they really didn't expect him to get a full score, especially when it came to the last two balls, their hearts were very nervous, let alone the parties? So Durant threw the last two balls, they were still very shocked, how much pressure there was at that time, only people who were there could feel how big it was, and others could not experience it.

The three-point contest is over, and the slam dunk contest will start immediately, after the impact of the three-point contest just now, the audience and fans are not as interested in the upcoming slam dunk contest as before, and they have raised their expectations for the dunk contest, if the performance of the dunk contest does not meet their expectations, they will definitely not get their applause.

No way, who called the three-point contest just now is too exciting, which also indirectly affects the slam dunk contest, you must know that the influence and appreciation of the dunk contest is above the three-point contest, if the next dunk contest, the excitement can not exceed the three-point contest, it can be said that it is the first time in recent years that the three-point contest has surpassed the slam dunk contest in terms of excitement.

Only one member of this year's slam dunk contest is a superstar, and the others are role players. Defending champion Howard continues to compete in this year's slam dunk contest. The 2006 slam dunk contest champion Nate Robinson also participated, and the two are undoubtedly the favorites to win the title, but the former is naturally the most optimistic.

There are a total of four places to participate in the slam dunk contest, in addition to the two just mentioned, the other is Jr Smith and Rudy Fernandez of the Trail Blazers, both of whom are very athletic players, and they are naturally very good at jumping, otherwise how could they participate in the slam dunk contest?

Smith is to replace the injured Rudy Guy into the slam dunk contest, neither of these two will pose much of a threat to Warcraft and Little Potato, the final battle will definitely be between Howard and Little Potato, for this all fans know well, one is the tallest and the other is the shortest, the duel between the two is undoubtedly the most interesting.

The rules of the Slam Dunk Contest:

Time Limit: Each participant will have two minutes from the moment the referee receives the ball. Within the two-minute time limit, players have an unlimited number of attempts before dunking the ball in. However, as soon as the referee determines that a ball has been scored, the dunk will be scored. After a successfully completed dunk, even if there is time left, the contestant cannot make another attempt.

If you don't have a successful dunk within the time limit, you will get the last two attempts to dunk, and you can generally complete a successful dunk in two minutes, unless the dunk is very difficult, this will never happen.

Props used in the game must be approved by the NBA Basketball Operations Department before the game.

There are two rounds of competition in the preliminaries, with one dunk in each round, for a total of two dunks. There are five judges, and each judge will score a dunk from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 10 points, and the total score will be from a minimum of 30 points to a maximum of 50 points. After two rounds, the lowest score is 60 points, and the highest score is 100 points.

The two players with the highest scores advanced to the final, and the two lowest players were eliminated.

In the preliminary round, there must be at least one dunk with the help of an active player, and the helper must help someone while wearing a jersey.

The final winner of the final round is determined by voting, not by scoring. The votes of the five judges and the votes of all the fans determine the final winner, and whoever has the higher percentage will naturally be the champion.

The game was soon in motion, with Smith taking the court first, who finished his first round of the preliminaries with a super-powerful windmill dunk. And Smith's final score is 43 points, although there is no creative dunk, but there is still a little difficulty, and giving 43 points is a very sensible score, not high or low.

The second one to come out was Fernandez, he chose to pass the ball behind him and smashed it on the rebound, and then rebounded, and then Fernandez jumped up, received the rebound ball and completed a dunk, this dunk is still very perfect, but in terms of difficulty it is similar to Smith's just now, if you look at it carefully, it is still slightly inferior to Smith's dunk in difficulty.

And the final answer given by the judges was indeed lower than Smith's score, and in the end Fernandez scored a total of 42 points, which is one point less than Smith's score.

The third player is Luo Bingxun, who is known as the little potato, as soon as he came on the court, Luo Bingxun completed the first action, but failed to successfully complete the slam dunk contest, the little potato was embarrassed, but did not show any frustration, but dribbled the ball to the side again, ready to dunk for the second time.

There is still time, and the small potatoes are naturally not in a hurry. The second time, the little potato smashed the ball on the floor, the ball naturally bounced high, and at the same time the small potato also started, the speed was very fast, at this moment the little potato seemed to erupt, without any warning of the outbreak, directly the little potato to the heart of the designed distance, jumped high, at the same time the height of the basketball is just right, the distance is naturally just right.

The little potato received the ball without any expression on his face, and then dunked the ball into the basket, and after landing, the little potato did not have any cheering movements, and there was no joyful expression on his face, just an expression of no concern at all.

The total score given by the last five judges is forty-six points, temporarily ranked first, this score is still a bit low in general, in the hands of Xiao Potato, he should get forty-eight points for this action, which is the minimum score, but in the end forty-six points he still gladly accepted.

The last person to play is naturally the defending champion Howard, as soon as Howard played, the vast majority of the fans in the stadium gave him the most sincere applause and cheers, Howard is a superstar, and he naturally has popularity and is not comparable to the role of Little Potato.

But don't think that's the case, the champion was booked in advance by Howard, and it's good to be popular, but the slam dunk contest is not the first to vote for the All-Star, the audience's eyes are still bright, who performs better in the dunk, the audience is looking at it, and they won't say that because they like you, they blindly think that your dunk is the most exciting.

There is such a situation, but it is only a small part, the eyes of the vast majority of fans are still bright, otherwise the superstar can get the vast majority of votes with a casual deduction, then other players also participate in a yarn, such a championship is not determined? So naturally it won't be like that.

Howard came out, the ball was thrown directly, and then he ran over quickly, and then wanted to catch the ball, but the height was too low, and there was no room to play at all, so the first time he failed, the first failure naturally didn't matter, didn't the little potato also fail the first time, and the second time he still completed the whole set of actions without any influence.

The second time, Howard threw it again, given that the height of the first time was too low, the second time he decisively threw a little higher, just threw high, and the speed of the ball naturally slowed down, but Howard ran too fast, so he failed again, the second time he failed, Howard's face did not have any frustration, but a faint smile, Howard is also a player who loves to laugh, it is difficult for you to see negative emotions such as frustration and sadness on his face.

The third time Howard failed again, the fans at the scene were completely speechless, everyone said that everything was only three, and this Howard was obviously about to pass three, but there was still no unhappy look on his face, or that expression with a faint smile, no matter how you looked, it felt like an underwhelming expression.

The fourth time, Howard finally completed the action, Howard, who received the ball, directly came to an air turn, and then successfully dunked the ball in, this turn is still a 360-degree turn, the difficulty is difficult in this 360-degree turn in the air, and the final result also proves how difficult this difficulty is.

All of the judges gave a score of 10, which means that Howard got the first perfect score of the day, 50 points. Now the number one is Howard, and the smile on his face is even more exuberant than before.
