Chapter 698 Three points king?The dunk contest begins!
This season, Love has completely entered the peak period.
In regular time, although he is a player at the four position, he often becomes the center in the small lineup.
And this completely activated Love's rebounding ability.
He is not tall, but his card position is a must!
In the previous game against the Heat, Love was also free of World of Warcraft. Although the Timberwolves lost the game, Cupid's data was still full.
On the offensive end, Love has a beautiful three-pointer and often hits the opponent's big center "I can't take care of myself."
It's just that the Timberwolves have a poor record, and most fans don't actually understand how Love plays.
Today's three-point contest is an opportunity for Love to show off his shooting ability on the biggest stage!
What's interesting is that after Love came on the field, some fans immediately began to whisper.
"It's all the atmosphere brought by the Rockets. Now these inside players are starting to shoot three-pointers like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian."
"Shouldn't the inside line fight hand-to-hand in the penalty area and dominate? What's the point of practicing three-pointers?"
A fan wearing Iverson's No. 3 jersey said puzzledly.
"What do you know? Shen Fei said that the three most important things in modern basketball are..."
"Space, space, or tmd space!"
"Do you know that inside players can shoot three-pointers, and how much offensive space can they make?"
"There's no space, and even a team as strong as the Heat has played some games very hard."
The friend next to him said indifferently.
"It's actually..."
"When I watch the Rockets' games, they can often establish a double-digit lead in the first quarter. Although the Heat are strong, their offense is often constipated."
"It may be because the Big Three are not shooting-oriented, especially Howard, who can only attack inside."
"Iverson" touched his chin and analyzed.
............
While the two were talking, Love had already started shooting!
At the first shot point, Eros seemed a little nervous and only made two shots.
But as time went on, Love got better and better, and finally scored 22 points.
It also allowed him to eliminate Jones and Durant to become the third player to reach the finals.
Therefore, the final is a contest between Splash Brothers and Love!
The first to play is the third-ranked Love.
He was feeling hot right now, and as soon as he came up, he made all five shots at the first point!
The audience cheered in unison.
Next, every time Love scores a goal, the cheers will be louder!
It wasn't until the flower ball at the second point that Love missed for the first time!
"woo..."
The scene suddenly sighed.
In the end, Love scored 27 points.
This result even surpassed Curry's score in the first round!
Clay was next to play.
Lord Buddha breathed a sigh of relief on his hand, and then started his journey to the finals.
The first point, five out of three.
The second point, five out of four.
The third point...
In the end, Thompson scored 25 points.
Although the results have improved compared to the first round, they still cannot reach the top.
After voting, Thompson looked up at the scores on the big screen and smiled helplessly.
Curry was waiting for him when he walked to the sideline.
The two clapped hands.
"give it to me."
Curry said confidently.
Clay nodded, then stood quietly on the sidelines, watching Curry enter the court.
Love's grades have been excellent.
This means that if you want to surpass him, you must show your best condition!
Curry did not disappoint.
After missing the first ball, Mengshen made consecutive shots and scored 10 balls in a row!
Such a fiery touch also made the audience very happy.
They all stood up and applauded Curry's performance.
They didn't sit down until Curry missed the 11th ball.
And Curry quickly made adjustments after missing shots, and then started to hit consecutive shots again!
In the end, he completed the shot with 5 seconds left on the timer.
After all the votes were cast, Curry looked up at the big screen, and there was a number on it-30!
Curry half-shot his braces, arms outstretched, smiling as the crowd cheered.
The crown of the three-pointer, for the second year in a row, went to Houston!
The last event is the slam dunk contest, which is also the most eye-catching event among the three competitions!
Participating in the slam dunk contest this time can be described as a gathering of strong players!
Jazz teenager Jeremy Evans, Knicks swingman James White known as "the strongest dunker in history", Eric Bledsoe "Little James" of the Clippers, "Nine Fingers God" Beggar" Gerald - Green, and the defending champion - Blake - Griffin!
These names may not be very familiar to some fans.
In other words, except for Griffin and Bledsoe, the rest of the players are only bench-level players in the NBA.
But...the dunks of these people are really fierce!
Jeremy Evans, as early as the NCAA period, was a well-known violent dunker in the United States.
This person's jumping and explosive power can only be described as a beast!
And James White of the Knicks is known as the strongest dunker in history!
Although the 2.01-meter-tall swingman is only a marginal player in the league, his dunk talent is breathtaking.
He has many "out of the circle" dunks, such as two-handed dunks from the free throw line, windmill slam dunks from the free throw line, and hand-changing dunks from the free throw line...
But the most shocking thing is his original 720° turning dunk!
There is almost no one in the world who can replicate this trick, not even anyone who is nearly finished.
But White not only showed it in the dunk contest, but also used it in actual combat!
Look at the Celtics small forward - Gerald - Green.
This one is more familiar to everyone.
Perhaps the scene that Green impressed fans the most was that time when he received an alley-oop pass from his teammates and staged a slam dunk with a flat frame windmill!
And "White Warcraft" Blake Griffin is also a historical level actual combat dunker.
Last year, he won the slam dunk crown with a shocking dunk after leaping over the car!
The fact that these fierce players can gather together is what fans have been looking forward to since the list was announced!
It can be said that, except Bledsoe, who focuses on participation, everyone else is a strong contender for the dunk king!
............
Shen Fei and Ajiali were also in the vip box on the stands, watching the game relaxedly.
After learning about the players participating in today's slam dunk contest, Ajiali was very worried about Griffin's prospects of winning the championship.
"Fly, I feel that Blake will be able to defend the title this time..."
"I just watched the dunk highlights of James White, Gerald Green, Jeremy Evans. These guys are not human! It's like they have springs on their feet!"
"I watched the video of Jordan dunking from the free throw line before, and I thought it was as difficult as the sky. But in the highlights of these people, there are even dunks from the free throw line! White can also add the crotch to the original movement. Such a difficult movement of the hand!"
Ajali seemed to have discovered a new world, and told her impressions in disbelief.
Shen Fei was very calm after hearing this.
As time travelers, these people have all participated in the dunk contest in the original time and space.
Shen Fei still has some impressions of their performance.
Among these people, only Evans has won the dunk title.
The rest of them were either stage-frightened under the spotlight, unable to complete any of their signature moves (James White);
Either the dunk success rate is too low to successfully complete the difficult dunk (Gerald Green).
Neither of these two actually poses a threat to Griffin.
Coupled with Bledsoe, who is bound by height and creativity... Griffin's road to defending the title actually has only one stumbling block, and that is Jazz rookie-Evans!
"I think Blake is still the favorite to win the championship. I have confidence in him."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
............
Soon the game will begin!
The first player to play is James White, who the fans are most looking forward to.
As soon as he dribbled the ball and stood in the middle circle, the fans stood up one after another, expecting what shocking performance he would bring.
How about a dunk from the free throw line for an hors d'oeuvres?
Or do you make a big move as soon as you come up?For example, a windmill slam dunk at the free throw line?
As for the 720° rotating dunk, it should be shown in the finals!
What?What if he doesn't make it to the finals?
Impossible at all, okay? !
Long before he entered the NBA, White was already the most prestigious dunker in the world (only compared to dunks, NBA players are not the strongest)!
However...
White's first dunk was a surprise.
He originally planned to reproduce Jordan's classic free throw line dunk action, but the first few attempts all ended in failure.
In the end, White could only reduce the difficulty of the action, turning it into a jump and dunk one step inward from the free throw line.
Although the ball was dunked in, the score was not very high.
After all, White not only dunked several times before he succeeded, but the final dunk was also mediocre.
The second player to play is Jazz teenager Evans.
Under the pressure, the young man completed the great show of leaping over his teammates in the first dunk!
This shocking dunk was in stark contrast to White's lame performance before.
All five judges scored 10 points.
So far, the first full score of this slam dunk contest was born!
Then came Bledsoe.
His 360° turn and dunk scored 46 points, which is considered a satisfactory performance.
Next up was Gerald Green.
Green played on a motorcycle.
His stylish appearance made him warmly cheered by the audience!
For Green, his bounce is at a historical level.
His approach height is even a few centimeters higher than that of Jordan and Carter.
Although not as well-known in the dunk world as James White, Green also has high hopes.
After all, Green has shown his ability to dunk in the NBA!
Compared with White, who can't play at all, people are still willing to believe that Green can show his strength in the highlights.
However, things backfired...
Green's first-round performance was equally bad.
His action is to fly the motorcycle and then swing the arm to dunk, but it took three attempts to succeed...
Green's dunk is indeed very difficult, but it took only 3 times to succeed, which still affects the perception.
Therefore, he only scored 47 points in the end.
The last one to play is Griffin!
He walked to the baseline, then dribbled at high speed, staged a good show of folding the buckle after staying in the air.
Griffin's dunk was successful, clean and powerful.
The overall difficulty of the action is not too high, but the advantage is that it is full of power and gives people a strong visual impact!
This deduction allowed Griffin to score 48 points!
After a short break, the second round begins immediately.
In this round, White's performance was still poor. He didn't even score a single ball within the stipulated time, and finally only got 32 sympathy points.
Evans is more creative.
He still cooperates with Jazz teammate-Deron Williams.
When White jumped over the head of his teammate sitting under the basket, Deron made two passes!
White received two passes while in the air, and dunked two goals with both hands!
This action is very novel and extremely difficult.
But White succeeded in the second try and won a round of applause!
50 points!
White's performance in the first two rounds was perfect!
Bledsoe and Gerald Green, who played later, recovered somewhat, scoring 47 and 49 points respectively.
And Griffin, who played last, also made a "big move" this time!
He enlisted Curry as a helper, holding the ball for him at the rim.
I saw Griffin rushing to the basket from the right corner, and then jumped high...
After taking the basketball from Curry's hand, he put his feet together, raised his knees, and then flew directly over Curry's head!
It must be emphasized here that Griffin's leap is extraordinary.
Generally, players will open their legs after take-off and let the assister "pass" through the crotch.
But Griffin's leap is to lift his knees and let the assister "pass" under his buttocks.
This action was actually Shen Fei's inspiration for him.
The source of inspiration is Aaron Gordon's classic "9 points" action in the original time and space!
Griffin escalated the difficulty of the maneuver again, adding details about the leap assister.
This buckle directly ignited the Huaxia Times Arena!
Both players and fans fell into "crazy" after seeing this action!
All of them either opened their mouths wide, or covered the back of their heads with their hands, as if they had seen a ghost!
On the court, Curry was celebrating passionately with Griffin.
Interestingly, Curry seems to be the more excited one, roaring and punching...
I don’t know, I thought he was the one who made the shocking dunk just now (doge)~
50 points!
Another perfect dunk!
But everyone knows very well that Evans was able to score 50 points before because that dunk was the best dunk at the moment. In comparison, he could give 50 points.
And Griffin can get 50 points because the full score is only 50 points!
Relying on this buckle, Griffin easily entered the final stage.
And his opponent in the final was Evans from the Jazz.
As for White and Green, who were the most popular players before the game, both were out without leaving a commendable slam dunk.
............
In the vip box on the stand, Shen Fei looked relaxed.
There are still many moves he designed for Griffin!
As long as Griffin can complete it smoothly, the champion of the slam dunk contest should not be a problem!
