Chapter 64 Slam Dunk Contest!
- Lin Fei prepared for the slam dunk contest with a good mood for the three-point competition. Although he is the least favored player, the pursuit of him by the live media is unmatched by the other three people, Nate. Robinson looked at the media around Lin Fei and felt very uncomfortable.
You should know that he is here to win the third slam dunk contest. Once he wins the championship of this slam dunk contest, he will create a new history and become the first player to win the three-slam dunk contest, but the media still does not focus on him.
Around Nate. Robinson is more of a reporter from New York. He entered the pre-match interview time an hour before the start of the slam dunk contest.
"Nate, do you have anything to say about the upcoming slam dunk contest?"
Nate. Robinson glanced at the seven or eight reporters surrounding him, and Yu Guang glanced at Lin Fei, who was surrounded by a large number of reporters on the other side. "I'm here to win the championship. Well, it's that simple. If there is no champion, it's a failure."
"What do you want to say about Lin's competition?"
"I only champion my competitors. If I participate in the three-point competition, maybe I will win him, but this is a slam dunk competition, not a three-point competition." Nate. Robinson's face was full of self-confidence. It seemed that the champion had been pocketed by him. Robinson turned around and said, "I believe that the fans are rational and will not be biased because Lin Chang is more handsome and famous than me. I believe in them in this regard."
An hour passed quickly, and TNT explained the trio Charles. Barkley, Kenny. Smith, Reggie. Miller was ready for a long time.
"Charles, don't you have anything to say about your Lin's participation in the slam dunk contest this time? You should know that he is the least favored one." Kenny. Smith said slightly.
"Kenny, why do you always think the same as ordinary people? Although we are friends, I still have to say that your idea is stupid. Lin is the least favored. That is the idea of ordinary people. I promise that Lin will surprise everyone." Buckley's head was full of disdain.
Kenny. Smith looked at the joke, "Charles, you are just stubborn. I really don't know where your self-confidence comes from. Those video highlights? To be honest, the highlights of any player can be amazing. What's more, it's Lin. Facts will prove that your self-confidence is wrong.
"Well, the game is about to start. Lin is the fourth appearance. You stop first, OK?" The atmosphere of conflict makes Reggie. Miller felt depressed. At this time, the host announced that the slam dunk contest was ready to start for Reggie. Miller's reason.
"Humph!"
"Cut!"
Kenny. Smith and Charles. Barkley and the two of them tilted their heads to one side at the same time.
This year's slam dunk competition league invited five judges, Lin Fei's big brother Kobe. Bryant, "Potato" Chris. Weber, "The Essence of Human Film" Dominic. Wilkins, "Dr. J" Julius. Owen, "His Royal Highness" Michael. Jordan, the five top slam dunk masters in history will gather together to score the preliminaries of this slam dunk contest. In the final, fans will need to vote to decide.
However, the slam dunk contests in recent years have become more and less interesting. Although the ratings set a record high last year, it is undeniable that the slam dunk contests are becoming more and more boring, David. Stern has more expectations for this slam dunk contest, "How are the ratings?"
"Mr. President, the competition has not started yet, but the ratings have reached the level of last year's preliminary round, and it is conservatively estimated that it will create a new high."
"How about the online evaluation?" David. Stern stood up and walked to the French window of the box. His eyes fell on Lin Fei on the bench on the sidelines.
"There are both negative and positive, and many people are looking forward to Lin Fei's dunk." The assistant replied truthfully.
"Hadays, everyone, this is TNT. Now the NBA 2009-2010 Dallas All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is live broadcast!" Lei Jie. Miller took the lead in opening his mouth.
"We have got the order of appearance in the preliminaries of the slam dunk contest. The first to play is the new All-Star Charlotte Bobcats' Gerard. Wallace, 6 feet 7 inches and 215 pounds tall, has a perfect small forward figure. This is the last time he returned to the slam dunk competition after eight years. The last time he lost to Jason in the final. Richardson, what can he do this time? Let me wait and see." Kenny. Smith continued.
"Gerard took the ball in the middle circle. Okay, the referee whistled Gerard to start." With Barkley's voice, Wallace began to run. When he approached the free throw line, he slowed down a little, and then took a big step with his right foot one step inside the free throw line. After a long gliding in the air, he grabbed the ball with both hands from top to bottom and threw a perfect circle into the basket.
"A step-by-step two-armed windmill in the wonderful and domineering free throw line, let's take a look at the specific replay."
The live director immediately gave a 360-degree full-angle playback, Gerald. Wallace's dunk is more realistic and delicately displayed in front of everyone.
Lin Fei applauded Wallace's dunk. In this difficulty of dunk, the advantage is that the power of the dunk is good, but the creativity is obviously lacking a lot. The fact is that only Dr. J Owen gave ten points for the five judges, and only Wilkins gave 9 points, and the remaining three only gave 8 points, the most The final Wallace's first deduction only got 44 points, a score that was neither high but not low.
After swating to the fans, Wallace walked to the sidelines.
"The lack of creativity makes Gerard's dunk score lower this time. To be honest, creativity is becoming more and more difficult. I pursue players to turn creative ideas into difficulty. You know, there are many slam dunk geniuses on the streets of the United States. I have seen a video of the slam dunk league. Oh, my God, there are all non-humans. I dare say that their actions take You can definitely win the slam dunk contest..."
"Charles, stop, this is the slam dunk contest." Lei Jie. Miller interrupted Barkley, who was full of trains.
After Wallace was DeRozan of the Raptors, who defeated Westbrook through the qualifiers to come to the final list for the slam dunk contest.
DeRozan is a typical dunk player in terms of bounce, body shape and gliding distance. Before entering the NBA, he participated in the slam dunk contest twice and won the championship. The stable surname of the dunk is excellent, the difficulty coefficient is very high, and the techniques are diverse. He claims that he has no opponent in high school and is in an invincible state.
When DeRozan appeared, he won bursts of applause from fans at the American Airlines Center, and many people were optimistic about DeRozan winning the slam dunk contest.
DeRozan stood outside the three-point line on his back and held the ball in front of him. After a steady whistle, he threw the ball out of ** with both hands. At this time, DeRozan turned around and accelerated, and the basketball hit the floor and bounced high. DeRozan jumped against the ball and grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it to a 360 degree in the air. After turning around, he swung the ball into the basket with his right hand, and the Dallas fans burst into huge applause, which undoubtedly satisfied them.
"Are I watching the 2k9 Slam Dunk Contest? This is completely a dunk in the game. DeRozan did not disappoint those who supported him. Kenny. When the Smiths entered the three-point line, they put the ball out of the field. After the rebound, they gliding and turned 360 degrees in the air.
DeRozan was recognized by five judges and finally got a high score of 48 points, laying a good foundation for him to advance to the next round.
"I saw Nate appear. As the champion of the two-time dunk contest, Nate is completely for the third championship this time. Let's see how confident he is." Lei Jie. Miller's face was full of smiles.
Nate. Robinson clenched his fist and roared, which seemed to cheer himself up, but Lin Fei read something else from Robinson's glance at him. Lin Fei couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes began to follow Robinson. He was still looking forward to Robinson's dunk.
Robinson is obviously here for the final. The first dunk in the preliminaries is not worth it. After two attempts, Robinson threw the ball up to the back, and then the windmill slammed the ball into the basket after receiving the ball. This action is a little similar to DeRozan's, but the difficulty coefficient is undoubtedly much lower, but Robinson's The height gave him an impression, and finally Nate. Robinson scored 44 points in the first round of the preliminaries and temporarily ranked second. Robinson was also not satisfied with his dunk and walked out a little depressed. When he passed Lin Fei, he couldn't help but stop and look at Lin Fei, and then sat down.
"The moment I'm looking forward to has finally arrived. I believe many fans are looking forward to this moment. The fourth player to play is Lin Fei, who is 6 feet 8 inches and 245 pounds in the Los Angeles Clippers." Barkley immediately came to his senses and stared at Lin Fei, who was standing outside the 45th and three-point line.
In addition to the huge cheers at the Dallas scene, there were also a lot of boos. Although the boos seemed a little insignificant at the scene of 100,000 people because of the number of people, Lin Fei heard it clearly, and most of these booing fans must be Mavericks fans, so it was natural for them to boo.
The live director immediately gave Lin Fei a close-up, and Lin Fei in the camera looked very relaxed without any tension.
"Come on!" Lin Fei roared and slapped the ball. He quickly rushed to the inner line. Looking at the closer and closer free throw line, Lin Fei's pace of calculation in his heart was getting closer and closer.
The left foot exerts strength, the calf is tight, the left foot is heavily on the free throw line, the right hand grasps the ball steadily, and the legs walk in the air. The whole person is like walking in the clouds, and the three generations of souls under his feet are particularly dazzling under the spotlight.
Just when everyone thought it was a dunk on the free throw line that had been dunked N times in the slam dunk contest, Lin Fei took the ball with his right hand and passed it directly from behind to his left hand.
After a perfect glide, the ball was smashed into the basket.
"Change hands and dunk behind the free throw line! This is Lin. Everyone thinks that he is a player who may be eliminated in the first round, but it turns out that Lin is not. Look at such a dunk that perfectly accumulates strength, beauty, distance, difficulty and stagnation. Barkley said excitedly.
"Lin really surprised everyone. I think it's extremely lucky to see dunk people like Lin to get rid of their original ideas. It's really lucky to come to the scene." Lei Jie. Miller also agreed.
Kobe gave Lin Fei a full score of 10 directly, while "potato" Webber scored nine points, Owen gave 10 points, and Wilkins also gave 10 points.
"How much should I give?" Jordan turned around and said to the fans on the sidelines, and then looked at most of the big signs and raised his scoreboard with a smile.
It is clearly written ten.
"49 points, Lin got 49 points and is only one point away from a full score. Chris is a little stingy. Isn't such a dunk worth a lot? Although many people have done it, but after their comprehensive aspects, they are definitely still a distance away from Lin. Watching Lin's slam dunk is the most direct enjoyment. Barkley only gave nine points to Weber.
The 49-point score also gave Lin Fei the lead after the end of the first round of the preliminaries, which also brought great pressure to Robinson. Originally, he also planned to make sure to enter the final in the preliminary round, but he only had 44 points to get 4 points and 5 points between DeRozan and Lin Fei respectively. Such a score difference is not a small difference. "need It's time to use the final dunk in advance. Robinson said to himself.
"At the end of the good preliminaries, Lin Fei took the lead with 49 points, and the second round is about to begin. The dunk rules in the second round of the preliminaries indicate that players must cooperate with their teammates. Good Gerrard and Felton come out. Gerrard needs to work harder. Maybe he should take out the dunk prepared for the finals in advance, otherwise he is likely to be Eliminate out." Kenny. What Smith said is absolutely right.
However, Felton's pass was very tricky. The passing behind the rebounds made Wallace useless. Finally, Felton changed to the front of the rebound. A ** basketball bounced against the ground and hit the rebound. Wallace cut in at high speed from the three-point line to receive the rebound ball and dunked.
Such a slam dunk was not good enough. In the end, he only got 40 points, a very poor score. He only got 84 points in two rounds and was basically eliminated.
But Gerard. Wallace was not depressed at all. In fact, he was the one who came to make soy sauce.
The next appearance was DeRozan, who had a high demand for winning the championship before the game. He got 48 points in the first round and took a certain initiative.
DeRozan stood outside the three-point line in the bottom corner of the left corner, while his teammate Weems stood inside the three-point line. With the referee's signal, Weems trotted into the penalty area line and threw the basketball to the edge of the rebound.
DeRozan followed Weems to start and jumped up against the basketball that bounced back from the edge of the rebound. He received the ball with both hands and glided, and his body stretched perfectly in the air. When the head was almost under the basket, the ball hit the ball into the basket with a loop after turning his right hand.
The whole action was flawless, which brought a huge impact on people's vision. After landing, DeRozan rushed to the audience excitedly.
"Dorozan lived up to people's expectations of him, and it was a perfect dunk. The five judges did not disappoint this time. Five points, a full score, this dunk is worth a full score." Lei Jie. Miller said with a smile.
Nate on the sidelines. Robinson felt great pressure. Now DeRozan has locked a place in the finals. He and Lin Fei can only enter one, and he is five points behind Lin Fei in the first round. Even if he gets a full score, Lin Fei's dunk will be less than 45 points before he can advance. The pressure instantly found Robinson and thought of his bold words before the game. I feel a chill on my back.
"Nate, before the game, he said that he came for the champion. Lin was not within his scope of consideration. The current situation is really a huge portrayal of his words. I like such a situation." Barkley looked complacent and let Kenny. Smith is very unhappy.
Robinson and his teammate Italian handsome Gallinari came to the court. Gallinari stood on the right side of the penalty area, while Robinson stood outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.
Robinson began to run, and Gallinelli threw the ball to the left side of the basket. Robinson failed to form a tacit understanding with Gallinelli twice in a row. It was not until the third time that he completed the air relay rotation 270 degrees.
Although the difficulty of dunking is average, Robinson's height has added a lot of points to him, but Robinson himself also knows what the result is this time, which seems a little gloating.
The five judges gave a score of 45 points, which indicates that Lin Fei can advance to the final as long as he gets 40 points.
"It's a pity that Nate's wish for the Triple Crowns has been dashed. In fact, I'm still looking forward to him making history, but I have to keep a low profile. This is the minimum, you see..." Barkley took the opportunity to fall into the well and didn't care about Robinson's face and didn't have the awareness of a predecessor.
The release of Robinson's results made Lin Fei feel much more relaxed. He also gave up his original idea and changed to a slightly simple action.
Lin Fei stood on the three-point line in the bottom corner of the right, dribbled the ball and ran. When he came to the outside of the penalty area, he jumped on the ground. After gliding in the air to the left side of the basket, he turned his back to Lin Fei, who had eyes behind Lin Fei's head like a long eye. After swung a semicircle with his left hand, he smashed the ball into the basket.
The difficulty of this ball is not high, but the key is that Lin Fei did not look back at the basket at all. It was completely based on his feelings, and his movements in the air were very coordinated. Such a dunk scored 44 points for Lin Fei. In the end, Lin Fei got 94 points in two slam dunks and entered the finals with the second place in the preliminaries. He will Luo Zan has a decisive battle.
After a short break, the final of the slam dunk contest kicked off.
"Dorozan is the object of my support. Although Lin's performance is good, I won't change my point of view. That's it." Kenny. Smith still put himself on the opposite side of Barkley and Lin Fei, and he believed that DeRozan would not let him down.
"Okay, DeRozan appeared. He took out a shoe box and opened it. There seemed to be something in it." Lei Jie. Miller's commentary drove all the fans.
DeRozan took out a Raptors No. 15 jersey from the shoe box. Behind the jersey was Carter's name, and then he took out a pair of shoes. It was the model that Carter wore when he won the slam dunk contest - AND1's taichi1.
The American Airlines Center immediately sounded warm applause, and there was no doubt that the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest was an eternal classic.
