Chapter 427: The First in History

"The three-point contest ended perfectly, Wood successfully defended his title, and it turned out that no one could take away the trophy that belonged to Wood if he wanted to, and I think Larry's words are particularly suitable for Wood." Charles. Barkley shook his head.

"Are you here to fight for second place?"

"Yes, that's it, that's Wood's strength."

Kenny. Smith rolled his eyes for a while: "There is still half an hour before the slam dunk contest will start, Sir Charles should predict the situation of the dunk contest?" ”

"Why not?"

"You're still rooting for Wood to win the championship?"

Barkley looked at Kenny. Smith: "Of course, although it's a bit difficult, I think five is likely. ”

"Wood is the shortest of the bunch, but in my opinion it's the best, and being at a disadvantage can highlight Wood's bounce, whether it's LeBron or Rudy or Moon Man, they're not flowy, while Wood can be both flowy and powerful, which we've seen in the past.

Wood's brain never disappoints, and maybe Wood will play with new ideas, and of course I don't doubt Wood's dunk ability on the basis of ideas. ”

Barkley's words are true, among the four people, Lin Sen is the one who is the easiest to deduct the perfect combination of strength and beauty.

The slam dunk contest has always been the highlight of the All-Star arena and the one that can attract the most fans, but the decline in the quality of the slam dunk contest over the years has once led to calls for the cancellation of the dunk contest.

And this year's slam dunk contest is extremely exciting, because since entering the league, fans have been hoping to see LeBron in the slam dunk contest. James finally appeared on the court of the slam dunk contest.

In addition, Lin Sen, who performed well as soon as he entered the league, often staged wonderful dunks in the game, and Lin Sen's dunks ranged from violent to difficult action types.

Plus the identity of the yellow race and the huge star halo. This slam dunk contest alone is enough for James and Linson to support the ratings. Not to mention last year's slam dunk contest champion Nine-finger dunk king Gerald. Green and Rudy, known as Wheat Dee. Guy.

Although the limelight of the slam dunk contest was stolen by Linson and James. But as the defending champion Gerrard. Green was not willing to be subservient.

Before the game, Gerard. Green said in an interview: "I know the strength of Wood and LeBron, but the competition here is about dunking, and I'm very confident about that, and if I'm second in dunking, then I can't think of anyone who can be first, even Michael. Jordan didn't work either.

But I also know how obvious my shortcomings are, I'm not a superstar, I don't have that many fans. I can only rely on my own actions to fight for more neutral fan votes. ”

Gerrard. The second half of Green's words is the biggest change in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, from this time on, the on-site judges can only decide which two players will enter the finals, and the final champion will be decided by the fans.

The person with a high approval rating will become the champion of the most rear, and this is not only a competition for dunks, but also popularity.

Among the four drafts, Linson and James are undoubtedly the two most popular, if they compete with pure fan popularity, James may not lose to Linsen, but the group that supports Linsen is far more than just the fan base.

Before the game, Carolina and the others all issued a declaration on their Twitter to canvass for Lin Sen, which directly led to the Cleveland media complaining before the slam dunk contest that the league does not need to hold a slam dunk contest, as long as the trophy is directly given to Lin Sen.

"Even if I win the championship, I will be in the finals, and if I enter the finals, you will know whether I deserve the championship or not." Lin Sen said in an interview with reporters.

"The slam dunk contest is about to begin. There were a lot of big stars on the scene, but except for what I was interested in, the other stars seemed to me to be no different from ordinary fans. It's like I only have QueenB in my eyes, and there will never be JAY-Z. Barkley said as he looked at the big screen at the scene.

"Beyoncé is indeed sexy, her sexiness is completely beyond the racial complexion, this is the real beauty, but Charles, I have some regrets like you, it seems that the Wood Legion has not come today, what is the situation? Are they all in Orlando with Natalie. Portman and Lindsay. Lohan? I think there must be a lot of people in this All-Star Game who want to see Wood's little prince and little princess like we do. ”

"Kenny, do you want to?"

"Of course, have you seen that?" Kenny. Smith asked, turning his head.

"Of course I did, I'm a hardcore Wood, I have the privilege to give it to you!" Barkley took out a magazine from under the commentary table and put it in Kenny. In front of Smith was the latest issue of Forbes magazine.

“shit! I thought what the privilege of bullshit, oh, we saw the judges come in, and tonight's slam dunk contest judges are the great Dr. J Owen, Carl. Malone, Magic Johnson, Human Cinema Essence Wilkins, and Bomb Dawkins.

I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm sure I have an idea that it's not necessarily going to be easy for Wood to get to the finals tonight, because the judges except for the Magic are basically violent dunks, even if it's Dr. J, it may not be good for Wood, even if Wood's violent dunks are indeed a lot. ”

Kenny. Smith said as he looked at the five judges who were being cheered on by the fans, while Kenny. Smith's words also made the TV set and some of the Lin Honey on the scene a little worried.

Because the judges are indeed more violent, especially Wilkins and Dawkins, who have taken violent dunks to the extreme.

Fans will never forget the scene of Wilkins and Jordan vs. Jordan in the slam dunk contest that year.

"It's a bit of a disadvantage, but I think a good dunk can conquer everything, and the most important thing is that Michael is not there, otherwise Wood is really dangerous."

"Charles, you are not afraid that Michael will break up with you, if I were Michael, you would have been on my blacklist long ago." Kenny. Smith said, turning his head.

At this time, Lin Sen and the four of them trotted out of the players' tunnel in the host's voice, and when Lin Sen came out, the cheers of the audience reached the maximum decibels.

"That's popularity, but unfortunately I wanted to see Miss Lin, but I couldn't find it, which disappointed me."

"The first to come out was Rudy. Guy, who will be followed by Gerald. Green, Wood and LeBron were the last two to play, and Rudy and Wood, both known as Wheat Dee, entered the NBA last year, and he was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the eighth overall pick and then traded to Memphis.

He showed outstanding scoring ability in his rookie season, and his outstanding physical attributes have been used in this season. Gasol has become the team's leader since leaving for Los Angeles, and is currently averaging 20 points per game for Memphis, and he has taken on the role of leading the team forward in terms of scoring, but he needs to work harder. ”

In Kenny. Smith's voice, Rudy. Guy took the ball and went beyond the three-point line on the right.

More than 60,000 fans at the New Orleans Arena cheered for Rudy. Guy gave a round of applause and waved his hand. Guy tosses the ball high.

The ball arced through the air and landed a meter outside the three-second zone. Guy rushed in from beyond the three-point line.

After jumping up to get the bouncing ball with both hands and completing an almost 360-degree turn, he dunked the ball into the basket with his right hand.

"It's a nice dunk, it's really good, let's see the replay and the judges' scores."

A full range of replays were given on the big screen, and the five judges on the scene also scored a good score of 46 points.

But Rudy. Guy was obviously a little disappointed with the score, and he also knew that the slam dunk contest was very competitive, and the seemingly good score of 46 points was actually dangerous.

"A score of 46 points, a good mistake, and the next one was last year's slam dunk contest winner, Gerald. Green, his dunks are often very difficult, of course, all this is based on his terrifying jumping ability, we can often see his flat frame dunks in the game, Gerrard is full of confidence in defending his title before the game, what move will he choose as the beginning of his journey to defend his title tonight? "Kenny. Smith looked at Gerrard on the field. Green said.

"What is PP going to do? Got a little birthday cake? Is it Gerald's birthday today? "Kenny. Smith looked at Paul who appeared on the court. Pierce said.

At this time Jamal. Nelson also moved a ladder, and the attention of the fans in the stadium was drawn to it.

"It's no surprise that this is a creative dunk, let's see what PP wants to feel?"

Barkley watched as Pierce picked up the cake and climbed the ladder, and Pierce placed the small cake with a candle on the neck of the basket under the watchful eyes of the fans, and took out a lighter to light the candle on the cakelet.

"How does Gerrard want to play this time? If he lights a candle when he dunks, I think it will be worth a perfect score. "Kenny. Smith said with a smile.

After moving the ladder out of the way, Jamal played for the Timberwolves last season because he was involved in trading Linson. Nelson took the ball and stood on the left side of the basket.

Gerrard. Green stood outside the three-point line on the right side, and after a gesture, Jamal Murray. Nelson slammed the ball to the floor as Green rushed in.

Ground bounce ball for Gerrard. Green dunked the ball into the basket with both hands and blew out the candle on the cakecake.

"A very creative dunk, but it's a mediocre difficulty, let's see how many points we end up getting?"

Kenny. Smith looked at the five judges, and in the end, this very creative move but the difficulty of dunking was really average. Guy's dunk tied the score at 46.

In Gerald. After Green stepped back, the audience suddenly boiled, and Lin Sen waved his hand, took off his training uniform, and stood up.

"Oh oh oh, Wood is going to play, this is a moment that will go down in history, the first yellow man in the history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, how will Wood start his slam dunk contest journey? I'm looking forward to it. Barkley shouted. (To be continued......)
