Chapter 992: I'm here to get the MVP

Chamberlain stepped onto the field, the Oracle Arena seemed to turn into a sea of hurricanes, crazy screams rang out, and fans waved their arms one after another, which really looked like waves.

Grabbing the ball with one hand, Chamberlain raised his other arm to signal to the fans, then pointed at Griffin in a gesture inviting him to play.

Griffin jumped up and down the court, and Jordan leaned over to Owen in the referee's seat and laughed: "Similar appearance posture, this kid looks too inferior, look at Z, that kind of domineering, who else can I be!" Look at this kid again, he can go to school with his schoolbag on his back. ”

"This is a good boy, haha, Chamberlain is already a generation of commanders, it's not fair for you to compare the two of them." Dr. J laughed.

Chamberlain and Griffin were standing together for the start of the match, and he noticed that the latter had been licking his lips with his tongue, and immediately understood that the kid was still a little nervous now, and it was clear that the result of the first round had affected his temperament.

Seeing this, Chamberlain immediately made a decision and said: "Rookie, let's change our position, I'll pass the ball to you later, hit the board and rebound, and then you will have a 360-degree windmill after you receive the ball!" ”

Before, they set that the second dunk was Chamberlain standing behind the rebound, and then knocking the ball to the bottom of the rebound and bounced up, and then Griffin received the ball and completed a 360-degree windmill dunk, which was very difficult, and during the pre-game drill, Griffin's success rate was not even as good as the previous 540-degree turn dunk.

Griffin was stunned for a moment and said, "The difficulty is a bit easy, right?" ”

Chamberlain was under pressure and pushed him: "It's so decided, as long as you complete this dunk once, I bet it must be a perfect score!" If it's not a perfect score, I'll make it up for you! ”

Sure enough, this time Griffin completed this dunk once and scored the second perfect score.

The last to appear was McGee, McGee also specially invited his mother to be a supporting role, his mother's name is Pamela McGee, a WNBA superstar, and the positioning is slightly lower than Killer Miller's supergod sister Cheryl Miller.

Pamela McGee is known for her legend in the WNBA and her love-hate relationship with Magic Johnson. In the early 90s, before the magician was diagnosed with AIDS, Pamela McGee told the media that the magician was a man who had always abandoned and liked to play with women, and later the magician was found to be infected with AIDS.

There's no doubt that the Magic and Pamela McGee have had a leg, but the former has apparently abandoned the latter.

McGee's mother used an emotional offensive when she came up, kissing five judges one after another, and Barkley teased: "It's a good thing that the magician isn't there, otherwise, I'm not sure how Michael would rate them - would they dare not give McGee a perfect score?" I don't dare, anyway. ”

This time, McGee chose to use a black cloth to blindfold both eyes to dunk, and his first dunk only touched the basket, after which McGee measured his steps, only to rush to the basket for the second time and perform a backhand dunk with both hands behind his back.

Sebaros performed this move in 1992, and McGee's dunk was also a tribute to Cebaros.

Jordan and the others applauded and gave the same 50-point evaluation, so that McGee and Griffin advanced to the finals together.

After the start of the finals, Griffin took the lead, he still chose to conquer the fans with pure body flow, Griffin's first dunk in the final was to throw the ball to the rebound, and then he caught the rebound ball and completed the one-handed hanging arm, this dunk was very exciting, but it seemed to imitate the 2000 Carter hanging arm, and did not produce a blockbuster effect.

However, compared to Carter's elegant and dashing dunk, Griffin is obviously more domineering, more tough, and the impact is more fierce.

McGee's first move was also extremely difficult, he first held the ball and then rushed to the rebound, and then bent to dunk the ball into the basket while his body was still behind the rebound, as a 7-foot-long man, this dunk was indeed extremely challenging, McGee had a head dodge in the air, and finally dunked the ball, and even Webb, the coach on the sidelines, shouted excitedly.

In the second round of the finals, Griffin finally began to show his nirvana, using props and cheering on the choir, and his idea was to fly over the car.

In the car with Griffin is still Chamberlain, he drove onto the court, and then slightly poked his head out of the roof of the car, Griffin ran up, Chamberlain threw the ball with the trend, gave Riffin directly jumped to catch the ball and then completed the glide, flying over the car with both hands dunk, this shocking dunk also caused a sensational effect.

McGee's second dunk in the final chose to challenge the human limit of the bounce, after completing the first spin dunk, McGee felt a little dissatisfied, and his second dunk was a self-throwing dunk, flying high and smashing the ball into the basket, although the height of the leap was embarrassing, but the idea of the dunk was relatively mediocre.

In the end, the slam dunk contest once again entered the "they dunk you decide" session, the fans voted, and then the player with more votes was the champion.

Griffin outperformed McGee in both popularity and creativity, so his victory was a no-brainer, and he was elected the new dunk king with 68% of the vote.

Griffin stood in the center of the court, and after receiving the slam dunk championship trophy, he said: "Before, before I entered the NBA, I can even say that when I touched basketball for the first time, I was dreaming that I could get this trophy one day, and today I finally got this trophy, I feel amazing!" ”

"I have to thank a lot of people to win this championship, especially Z, yes, thank you, Z, you helped me so much, if it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have been able to win the championship. Unfortunately, though, I can't give this trophy away to you, haha, I'm going to give it to Holloway's family, because I promised him that I would give him an NBA trophy! ”

Holloway, Griffin's middle school teammate, died Wednesday local time from Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"For him, I want to be able to do that," Griffin said, "and I think I'm going to give the trophy to his family, and that's why I'm so eager to win the slam dunk contest." ”

As he spoke, Griffin's eyes were a little moist, Chamberlain knew what was going on, Holloway was not only Griffin's middle school teammate, but also his hardcore brother, similar to Doug's relationship with him.

It happened suddenly, about a week ago, Griffin made a special trip from Los Angeles to Oakland to discuss some details of the slam dunk contest with Chamberlain, only to learn over the phone that his good brother Holloway had died.

After putting down the phone, Griffin broke down in the arena and cried, which hit him hard.

However, because the Clippers were flying to Minnesota to play against the Timberwolves the next day, and Griffin was quite busy at the All-Star Weekend in the rookie game, slam dunk contest and All-Star game, he did not give up a certain event because of Holloway's death.

This time, giving the trophy of the slam dunk contest to this friend's family can be regarded as the fulfillment of a wish.

In this way, there is one last item left for All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game!

The two sides in the All-Star Game this time are Dwight Howard, Stoudamire, LeBron James, Wade, Rose, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo, Bosh, Horford and Joe Johnson.

To the west, it's Yao Ming, Auden, Chamberlain, Duncan, Nowitzki, Durant, Kobe, Anthony, Paul, West, Griffin and Westbrook.

Entering the locker room, there are a lot of big names in the eyes, and West, Griffin and Westbrook are already three small characters.

But this is the Warriors' home turf, and it's West's home court, so Mad Dog takes himself very seriously, and he's sitting in his old place, which is in front of a closet at the center.

Anthony and West joked, "Delonti, it's not appropriate for you to sit there, right?" If you're sitting there, what about Kobe? What about Tim? ”

West rolled his eyes and said, "How the do I know where they're going?" This is my locker room seat, I've been sitting here for three and a half years, and you're not right for me? Are you stupid? ”

Damn, this kid's temper is so strong, Anthony is choked.

Chamberlain saw that the situation was not quite right, he still wanted to win the MVP, if the West could not win, then he would win a fart MVP, and if the West was infighting now, then he would win a fart! Although the current strength is strong in the west and weak in the east, it means that the general trend of the team, just looking at the stars, the two sides are half a catty.

So, Chamberlain came up and persuaded: "Delonti, you have to apologize like Cameron, he is just joking, you are too aggressive, brother, if what you just said is placed on the street, it will cause a gang fight." ”

West secretly said that even if I am afraid of you on the street, but he followed Chamberlain's arrangement and gave Anthony an American-style military salute, and Anthony also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

Chamberlain's timely shot proved to be the right one, as soon reporters were in the dressing room and preparing for the pre-game interview, which would have been a good look if Anthony and West had pinched before.

The reporters went into the locker room, went straight to Chamberlain, and asked, "Z, what is your goal for today?" ”

Chamberlain smiled: "Two goals, one, we want to win the East by at least 10 points; Two, I got the MVP. ”

As a result, at this time, some reporters were asking Kobe Bryant a similar question, and Kobe Bryant said loudly: "I'm here to win the MVP when I came to Oakland!" ”

When the reporters heard the words of the two, their eyes lit up, and someone stared at Durant and asked, "Kevin, what is your goal?" ”

Durant smiled innocently: "I'm here for a vacation, by the way, to play a game, if this game can make the fans happy, so good." ”

"Russell, what about you?"

Westbrook: "Boss Du is what he says. ”

Tickets for this all-star were sold out early, although compared to last year's football stadium all-stars who came directly to Texas, this year's attendance was not enough, but the ratings were higher.

Before the game, there were relevant statistics, and the ratings of this year's main race reached 6% before the start of the game, an increase of more than a third over the same period last year, and only a little more than 4% last year.

This is undoubtedly exciting news for the NBA, and they have to thank Chamberlain for his popularity in the Chinese world, as well as for the secret competition between Chamberlain, Kobe, Rose, James, and Wade before the game.

In addition, because Oakland is close to Los Angeles, there are more Hollywood stars who come to watch the game this year, and the camera is casual to sweep, all of them are super big names, including old stars such as Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Leonardo, Hugh Jackman, etc., as well as new superstars such as Justin Bieber and Meghan Fox.

In addition, Kardashian, BeyoncΓ©, JAY-Z and Steve Wanda, etc., anyway, all kinds of stars are dizzying.

As the players prepared to enter the game, another big star was also belated, and that was California Governor Finisher Schwarzenegger.

Schwarzenegger sat next to his lifelong enemy, Stallone, and Stallone took his three baby daughters, these three girls are more beautiful than the other, all kinds of starlight folds on the scene, the game did not start, and the fans were already drunk.
