PS: Chapter 5

Jabbar is relatively wealthy due to family reasons, and he is withdrawn and proud, and except for a few friends, he is basically alone. And the "goat" fell into the temptations of real life.

Later in life, "Goat" made a large group of friends and became infected with many vices. In the last year of high school, the senior year of high school, the school expelled the "goat" for smoking marijuana. Although "Goat" later took drugs and robbed and went to prison and regretted the most, he refused to admit that he had smoked marijuana in high school until his death. Later, he was introduced by a friend to a college preparatory school in North Carolina, hoping that he could stay away from the dark street life and think carefully and plan his future basketball path. "Goat" barely graduated in penultimate place and entered a traditional black college in Charlotte, North Carolina, "Goat" still did not grow in his schoolwork, and he was on the same bar with the coach on the varsity team, because his style of play was too avant-garde, beyond the old pedantic eight-strand style of play, not to mention slam dunk, even the "Nolookpass" or the dribble behind the back was regarded as crooked by the coach, he could no longer bear the suppression of basketball talent and creativity, and returned to his hometown in Harlem, New York, and continued to live a wandering life on the streets. In 1969, "Goat" was arrested for drug use and sentenced to 16 months in prison. In 1970, Axelham published the book "TheCityGame," which was devoted to New York street basketball, and included an article that delved into the legend of the "goat." Ironically, the prison guards at the time also took the book for the "goat" to sign.

At the time, the owner of the Utah Stars of the ABA American Basketball League, Bill Brown. Daniels had read the book and had invited "The Goat" to a tryout. However, at this time, his body had already been devoured by drugs, and he finally failed to get on the stage of professional basketball as he wished.

In 1977-79, "Goat" was again imprisoned for premeditated robbery. This big heel fight also left the "goat" in his 30s with nothing, and finally came to his senses after being released from prison. In addition to being a volunteer coach, he also held a "goat basketball tournament", hoping that young people can take him as a model and rely on basketball to get out of a healthy way, instead of destroying their future like him.

But even so, he is still unbeatable. Especially his famous works.

"I've decided!" Luke stood up and said. "I'm going to use that!"

"No," said Aaron, "did you really decide to use that trick?" ”

"That's right," Luke said, "Allen, help me inform the uniform crew, help me make the Nets loose!" ”

"This ...... Well, I'll help you! Aaron said, and then went to the uniform team.

Luke began to move his body.

That's right. The next move Luke will perform is the iconic dunk from "The Goat" (DoubleDunk). Many longtime fans in New York have sworn to have seen the "Goat" double dunk in person, or in an official street game. Legend has it that "The Goat" broke through the basket and jumped when the team was down by 3 points before the end, caught the ball in the air after dunking and dunked again, and then arrogantly said that it was worth 4 points. Does anyone care how much a double dunk counts? This kind of performance has completely transcended the scope of basketball for earthlings. Belong to another time and space. The descendants of the NBA's "Flyers" think hard every year about new tricks in the slam dunk contest, and it's not that no one thinks of "DoubleDunk" in the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in February 2013. Gerrard? Green had an accident when he dunked the second ball, and Green wanted to emulate the classic action of passing street player "The Goat": a double dunk for a ball. For this reason, he also deliberately cut the net. Unfortunately, he tried again and again in the regular time but failed, but he ended up with two more attempts. Finally poured the ball in, although the score was not high, it was a good result.

With such a precedent, Luke made it clear that the Nets should be relaxed and the ball would fall faster. Also make yourself a little better.

I tried the speed at which the ball fell, and it was still good. Luke decided to go up.

Truth be told, if a double dunk is still very simple, it is to jump once and hit it twice in a row with a basketball: jump up and dunk the ball in first when rising, then quickly catch the ball under the basket with the other hand, and dunk it again when it falls. But it's quite difficult to do. Bounce, waist and abdomen strength, and reflexes are indispensable.

Luke stood outside the three-point line and spun the basketball twice, taking two deep breaths.

"It's better to die early than to die, go now!" Luke took one more deep breath and set it on.

With the basketball in his hand in control like an apple, Luke kept moving forward. But the speed did not dare to be too fast. It's very likely that something will happen if it's flying at the last minute. Relying only on the explosive power of the last moment to maintain the time in the air is the first very difficult part.

But for Luke, this is not too difficult. Luke took off and everything went very well.

Luke dunked the ball into the basket. But the second difficulty has only just begun. And it's the most critical place. This is to make the ball that fell from the basket go into the basket again.

But Luke is not a "goat" who can't have such an inhuman bounce, and the NBA's basket is not as short as the basket on the street court (compared to a standard basketball court, of course), and it is very unrealistic to catch the ball and dunk it on the spot again.

But Luke chose a different approach.

When Luke dunked the ball into the basket for the first time, Luke's other hand was ready to catch the ball.

As soon as the ball fell, Luke caught it with his other hand. At this time, the body has reached its highest point and is about to start falling. But this is the time Luke was waiting for.

Luke catches the ball, then quickly transfers the ball to his chest, then turns around and lifts the basketball directly over his head, using the force of the fall to dunk the back of the basketball into the frame.

“OHMYGAD!” The commentator at the scene directly broke out this sentence. Everyone was once again shocked by Luke's amazing performance.

There have been three very good dunks in a row tonight, from the Kobe trap to the final double dunk.

“SHIT!” Desmond now? Mason genuinely felt that he was extremely unlucky, but for Luke's dunks, especially the last few times, Desmond? Mason is quite impressed, if it were replaced by him, he would not succeed, at least not once.

The dunk king was undoubtedly given to Luke.

Alliance President David? Stern personally came to present the trophy, and Stern as the guest of honor also had to say some words of encouragement at this time, like a line prepared in advance: "Good job, boy, you will have a bright future." Luke had little interest in such a super-official speech. After saying thank you twice, he held up the trophy and showed it to everyone.

Then it's time to rest. (To be continued......)
