Chapter 63 Slam Dunk Contest
This year's three-point competition is undoubtedly the most wonderful one. This year's three-point competition will be recorded in history. There are two full scores in a single three-point competition. One full score alone is unprecedented, not to mention the amazing two full scores. The record in this three-point competition, it seems to be so Fragile, it is broken at a moment, as if it gives people the feeling that there is no difficulty, but is it really not difficult?
Of course, it's not without difficulty. If it's really not difficult, it should have been broken or improved the record a long time ago, and it won't get a full score until now. A full score is really very difficult. As long as there is anyone who participates in the three-point competition, they know how difficult it is.
The three-point contest is over, and it is over in the reluctant eyes of all the audience fans. You know, the next is the slam dunk contest. The former fans hope to end the three-point contest as soon as possible, so as to come to the slam dunk contest as soon as possible. But now it is completely the opposite of before. Just now, when Ray Allen was shooting, many fans were praying for Ray Allen to score two points less. They hoped to continue to watch the three-point contest. However, Ray Allen did not get two more points as they wanted and eliminated Durant to win the championship of the three-point contest.
When Ray Allen got a full score before, they thought that the game had ended ahead of schedule, and the champion fell into his hands ahead of schedule. In the end, Durant showed them what a miracle was. They really didn't expect him to get a full score, especially in the last two goals. Always nervous, not to mention the parties involved? So Durant scored the last two goals, and they were still very shocked. How much pressure there was at that time. Only immersive people could feel how big it was, and no one else could understand it.
The three-point contest is over, and the slam dunk contest will begin immediately. After the influence of the three-point contest just now, the audience fans are not as interested in the upcoming slam dunk contest. They have raised their expectations for the slam dunk contest. If the performance of the slam dunk contest does not meet their expectations. In other words, you will never get their applause.
There is no way. The three-point competition just now is really wonderful, which also indirectly affects the slam dunk competition. You should know that the influence and appreciation of the slam dunk competition are above the three-point competition. If in the next slam dunk competition, the excitement cannot exceed the three-point competition, it can be said that it has been three points in recent years. For the first time, the competition surpassed the slam dunk contest to a wonderful extent.
There is only one superstar in this year's slam dunk contest, and the rest are role players. Defending champion Howard continues to participate in this year's slam dunk contest. Nate Robinson, the winner of the 2006 Slam Dunk Contest, also participated. These two are undoubtedly the favorites to win the championship, but the former is naturally the most optimistic.
There are a total of four places in the slam dunk contest. In addition to the two just mentioned, the other are JR Smith and the Trail Blazers Rudy Fernandez. Both of them are very athletic players, and they are naturally very good at bouncing. Otherwise, how can they participate in the slam dunk contest?
Smith replaced the injured Rudy Guy into the slam dunk contest. Neither of them will pose much threat to Warcraft and Little Potato. The final battle must be between Howard and Little Potato. One of the fans knows this. One is The tallest one is the shortest, and the duel between the two is undoubtedly the most interesting.
Rules of the slam dunk contest:
Time limit: From the beginning of taking the ball from the referee's hand, each contestant will have two minutes to complete their dunk. Within the two-minute time limit, the player has an unlimited number of attempts before smashing the ball. However, as long as the referee determines that a ball has been dunked, the dunk will be scored. After a successful dunk, even if there is still time left, the contestants can't make another attempt.
If you haven't completed a successful dunk within a limited time, you will get the final two dunks. Generally speaking, you can complete a successful dunk in two minutes. Unless this dunk is very difficult, it will never happen.
As for the props used in the game, they must be approved by the NBA Basketball Operation Department before the game.
There are two rounds of matches in the preliminaries, one buckle in each round, a total of two buckles. There are five judges, each of whom will score a dunk from the lowest six points to the highest ten points, and the total score will be the lowest 30 points to the highest 50 points. The lowest score in the two rounds is 60 points, and the highest score is a full score of 100 points.
The two players with the highest score will advance to the finals, and the two players with the lowest score will naturally be eliminated.
In the preliminary round, there must be a round of slam dunks at least once with the help of active players, and the helpers must wear jerseys to help people.
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 to decide the final winner. The higher the percentage, the winner is naturally the champion.
The game began soon. Smith was the first to play. He finished the first round of his preliminaries with a super windmill dunk. Smith's final score is 43 points. Although there is no creative dunk, it is still a little difficult. Giving 43 points is a very wise score, neither high nor low.
The second player was Fernandez. He chose to pass the ball behind him and hit the rebounder, and then rebounded. Then Fernandez jumped up, received the rebound ball and completed a dunk. This dunk was still very perfect, but the difficulty was similar to Smith's just now, if it was fine. It seems that it is slightly less difficult than Smith's dunk.
And the final answer given by the judge was indeed lower than Smith's score. In the end, Fernandez's total score was 42 points, one point less than Smith's score.
The third player is Luo Bingxun, known as Little Potato. As soon as he came on the field, Luo Bingxun completed his first action, but he failed to complete the slam dunk contest. Little Tudou was ashamed for a moment, but he did not show any frustration. Instead, he dribbled the ball back to one side and prepared for the second dunk.
There is still time, and small potatoes are naturally not in a hurry. The second time, the little potato hit the ball on the floor, and the ball naturally bounced high. At the same time, the little potato also started. The speed was very fast. At this moment, the little potato seemed to explode without any sign. When the little potato reached the distance designed in the heart, it jumped high, and at the same time, the basketball The height is just right, and the distance is naturally just right.
The little potato received the ball without any expression on his face, and then slammed the ball into the basket. After landing, the little potato did not have any cheering action, and there was no expression of joy on his face, just a completely indifferent expression.
The total score given by the last five judges was 46 points, temporarily ranking first. This score is still a little low in general. In the hands of Little Potato, he should get 48 points for this action, which is the least score, but he happily accepted the final 46 points.
The last appearance is naturally the defending champion Howard. As soon as Howard appeared, the vast majority of the fans in the stadium gave him the most sincere applause and cheers. Howard is a superstar. Naturally, he is popular. In terms of popularity, he is naturally not comparable to the role of Little Potato.
But don't think so. The champion was booked by Howard in advance. The popularity is good, but the slam dunk contest is not to vote for the start of the All-star. The audience's eyes are still bright. Whoever performs better on the dunk is better. The audience sees it in their eyes. They won't say that they will blindly admit it because they like it. The slam dunk for you is the best.
There is such a situation, but it's only a small part. The vast majority of fans' eyes are still bright. Otherwise, if the superstar can get the vast majority of votes casually, then other players will also participate in a wool. Isn't such a champion internally determined? So naturally it won't be like that.
Howard came out, threw the ball directly, and then 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 failure, the first failure naturally didn't matter. Isn't the little potato also the first failure, the second time still didn't suffer anything. Has the impact completed the whole set of actions?
The second time, Howard threw again. In view of the fact that the height of the first time was too low, the second decisive shot was a little higher, but when the ball was high, the speed of the ball naturally slowed down, but Howard ran too fast, so he failed again. The second time failed, Howard's face was not depressed. Instead, with a faint smile, Howard is also a smiling player. It is difficult for you to see negative emotions such as depression and sadness on his face.
For the third time, Howard failed again. The fans at the scene were completely speechless. People said that everything was only three, and Howard was obviously going to pass three, but there was still no unhappy look on his face, or the expression with a faint smile. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like a watch that was in need of beating. Love.
The fourth time, Howard finally completed the action. Howard, who received the ball, turned directly in the air and then successfully dunked the ball in. This turn was still a 360-degree turn, which was difficult to turn 360 degrees in the air, and the final result also proved how difficult it was.
All the judges gave a score of 10 points, that is to say, Howard got today's first full score, 50 points. Now Howard ranks first. At this time, the smile on his face is more vigorous than the previous smile.
