Super all-around point guard

Chapter 757 The first deduction!
The third player to appear in the slam dunk contest is the champion of the 2015 slam dunk contest, Zach LaVine!
Zach LaVine became a blockbuster as a rookie in the 2015 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest!His lingering, bouncing, and his spinning pause in the air made people appreciate the top level of dunking once again. It can be said that after that slam dunk contest, he can already match the top historical dunkers like Jordan and Carter.

It can even be said that Zach Lavin revived the slam dunk contest, which has not had such a surprise for too many years.

However, just when everyone was about to make Zach LaVine the number one dunker in the active league, who knew that in the second year, Xie Chen took the initiative to challenge LaVine in the dunk contest, and showed the same superb strength in the dunk contest, and finally defeated LaVine to win the dunk contest championship!

What level of dunk master is Zach LaVine?Being able to defeat Zach Laven has proved that Xie Chen is the No.1 dunk!

Soon, Zach Raven entered the arena, and the scene became lively. Everyone was watching the battle between LaVine and Xie Chen, and they all thought that there was no suspense between LaVine and Xie Chen entering the final.

LaVine's entrance ceremony was very simple, and he obviously put all his focus on dunking. However, although he looked very serious, he didn't care much about the next first dunk. What he was thinking about now was how to deal with Xie Chen after entering the finals later.

"What kind of move will Xie use in the final? This guy must still have a very powerful dunk move, maybe not worse than the one he cooperated with David Beckham yesterday, and I will save the strongest dunk for the end." After Zach LaVine came on the court, he didn't think about the dunks of Drummond and Aaron Gordon before.

Zhang Weiping said: "Generally speaking, the first dunk will not bring out the best. Let's see how LaVine's first dunk is."

The scene fell into silence, and everyone was staring at Zach Laven. Zach Laven, wearing a short-sleeved black Timberwolves jersey, took the ball to a 45-degree angle on the right. He looked very relaxed, because the difficulty factor of the action he was going to do next was not high. However, in his opinion, it was definitely enough to enter the final.

LaVine first threw it forward, tried it, and then officially started.

LaVine threw the ball towards the basket, and then strode to keep up!
LaVine flew up quickly!

I saw that he got the ball with his left hand in the air, immediately switched the ball from behind to his right hand, and then buckled it back into the frame!

A success!
There was a burst of jubilation at the scene!
"Good shot!" Yang Jian exclaimed first, "The speed is too fast, and I didn't see how he dunked it clearly."

LaVine was also very proud at the scene. Although this dunk was not too difficult for him, he felt that it would be no problem to win Drummond and Aaron Gordon. His aesthetic feeling in the air was completely different from those two people.

When watching the replay, Zhang Weiping explained: "When he got the ball in the air, it was behind his back, not behind his back. He hugged him from below his hips. What is so great about him? After he took the ball with his right hand, he was still going up. It felt like he could go up after dunking. Xie Chen is exactly the same as him. I think this can be given full marks."

Yang Jian also said: "Well, there must be a full score, but I don't know if it will be all 10 points, after all, Xie Chen hasn't deducted it yet."

At the scene, Timberwolves teammates Karl Downs and Andrew Wiggins were all in trendy clothes to support LaVine. After seeing LaVine's successful dunk, they all had expressions of amazement.

The five judges also laughed when they saw it. They felt that this year's finals must be Xie Chen and LaVine. His dunk must be higher than Gordon's dunk before, but they didn't plan to give LaVine full marks so early, because this year's protagonist is Xie Chen.

As early as last year, Xie Chen proved that he is a better dunker than Zack LaVine. This year is the last time he will participate in the dunk contest. Maybe every dunk is a masterpiece. The difficulty factor and creativity of LaVine's dunk are still very average. What is really amazing is LaVine's own ability.

Several people looked at each other. These old guys understood each other's meaning, that is, don't rush to give full marks. Anyway, LaVine will definitely be able to enter the finals. The real first full score of 50 points should be reserved for Xie Chen.

Soon, the five judges finished scoring.

Yang Jian said: "Oh? McGrady alone gave LaVine 10 points, and everyone else gave 9 points. In this way, LaVine's first deduction score is 46 points, which is only one point more than Aaron Gordon."

Aaron Gordon breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it: "Fortunately, Zach Laven didn't play the free throw line as soon as he came up. My chance has come!"

However, after Zach Laven saw the score, he didn't care.

"If I didn't thank you, my dunk would be 50 points." Of course Zach LaVine knew what these judges meant, and naturally he was waiting to leave the first 50 points to Xie Chen.

After Zach Lavin's dunk, Xie Chen, the last contestant in this year's dunk contest, will also make his debut!
According to the usual practice, before going on stage, a dunk video of a contestant will be played first...

Then, I saw scenes of well-known dunk scenes appearing on the big screen!
boom!boom!boom!boom!
The sound of slam dunks sounded continuously. In the video, Xie Chen's dunk action was edited into very fast scenes, dunking Howard, dunking Drummond, dunking Jr., dunking Karl Downs, leaping over Bargnani...

Xie Chen hadn't appeared yet, but the audience was excited just watching this video!
"Oh my god, it's a monster! Is this a human?" The audience couldn't restrain their inner excitement, which is why they were willing to come to watch the game no matter how much money they spent. Xie Chen is not only the absolute king of the slam dunk contest, but also can fully display his slam dunk ability in the official game.

And the other NBA players watching the game, such as Towns, Howard, James, Cousins ​​and others, also showed hideous expressions, looked at each other, and seemed to say, why did everyone get dunked by Xie Chen?

Xie Chen has been in the league for less than three seasons, and the number of players he has dunked is beyond count!
The screen continued to show Xie Chen's various unimaginable aerial movements, and everyone was fascinated by watching. At this time, Xie Chen also officially appeared on the stage!

If Zach Raven's appearance ceremony is simple, then Xie Chen basically has no appearance ceremony, he just walked in from the player tunnel alone.

After James Harden saw it, he still said in his heart: "If I had known that you were not going to appear in the ceremony, I would have arranged two girls for you!"

In fact, although there was no appearance ceremony, as soon as Xie Chen appeared, he received more applause and cheers than the previous three players combined!
"Thanks!"

"MVP!"

The audience shouted in unison, and Xie Chen also stretched out his hand to greet the audience. The fans were very enthusiastic, because the packed crowd basically came for Xie Chen, so their shouts were not willing to stop at all, and they kept shouting like this...

Yang Jian said: "How do I feel? This scene is a bit like Kobe's last All-Star game last year. Everyone shouted Xie Chen's name. Xie Chen waved in greeting. It feels a bit like he is about to retire."

Zhang Weiping also smiled and said, "It's about the same. Didn't Xie Chen say that this is the last time he participated in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, and Zach Lavin has participated in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest for three consecutive times. It is estimated that he will not participate again in the future. From next year, everyone may not see such a high-level competition."

There was indeed some reluctance to Xie Chen at the scene, but everyone also understood that Xie Chen had already proved himself in the slam dunk contest. As a superstar, it is indeed not suitable to participate in the slam dunk contest every year, but without the dunk contest between Xie Chen and LaVine, who would want to watch it?
It took a long time for the applause to subside. When Xie Chen picked up the ball, the scene fell into unprecedented silence.

Zhang Weiping: "If Xie Chen wants to get a full score, he must be better than Zach Laven. If the deduction is too far from everyone's expectations, the score may be lower than Aaron Gordon's, so Xie Chen is also under pressure."

For the first dunk, Xie Chen naturally wouldn't use his trump card. The first three dunks, except Drummond's attempt to show his strongest strength as soon as he came up, Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavin seemed to still have back tricks.

"What do you want to play for the first buckle?" Xie Chen hesitated on the court.

"What's the matter? Why don't you thank me and not deduct it?"

"Could it be that I haven't figured out what to do for the first dunk? Doesn't this take the opponent too seriously?"

The audience whispered, and even Katie was a little embarrassed. Katie had heard Xie Chen say what he wanted to do in the first dunk, but because Xie Chen's score in the preliminaries was irrelevant, he was definitely going to the finals, so he had a lot of choices. Xie Chen had too many moves that he wanted to play.

"This is the last time he will participate in the slam dunk contest. He must want to show everyone all the moves he can play, so he can't make up his mind..." Katie knew Xie Chen, and Xie Chen really wanted to temporarily change the first slam dunk action he prepared before.

In the slam dunk contest, if you change your moves when you are about to perform, I am afraid that this is unprecedented. With the dunk ability of Zach Lavin, Vince Carter and MR720, it is so willful. Anyway, you can enter the finals casually.

Xie Chen suddenly saw a man at the scene, the former dunk king Richardson.

"It's better to play one of his moves." Xie Chen, who was originally standing at a 45-degree three-point line, suddenly walked to the bottom corner.

Everyone also became curious, not knowing what Xie Chen was going to play.

Xie Chen also threw the ball forward, then caught the ball and dunked it. Unlike others, Xie Chen was in the right corner.

Throwing the ball to the basket, Xie Chen strode to follow up. The basketball hit the floor and bounced upwards. Xie Chen jumped up and caught the ball with both hands in the air. Seeing Xie Chen jumping with both feet to catch the ball with both hands, you should know that he used Vince Carter's ability!

Xie Chen didn't look at the position of the basket at all. After getting the ball, his legs were separated in the air. Then, Xie Chen turned the ball from his crotch to his left hand with his right hand, and then hung the frame with one hand without looking at the basket with his left hand!
This is Richardson's classic move!
"Xie Chen copied Richardson's classic moves! This dunk is so domineering!" Yang Jian said excitedly. All the long-awaited fans were in the same mood. Even though Xie Chen hadn't shown his most powerful dunk yet, this dunk was enough to make people excited.

After Xie Chen dunked the basket, he landed straight on the ground and stood under the basket with a blank expression on his face, pretending a little, the scene has already fallen into a carnival.

All five judges also laughed. Although this action is not considered innovative, it is just a tribute, but the artistic sense of Xie Chen's completion is really unparalleled. They even felt that Xie Chen's buckle surpassed Richardson himself.

In addition, Xie Chen may have chosen an action on a temporary basis, which makes people feel that Xie Chen's dunk ability is unfathomable.

There is no doubt that all five judges scored 10 points.

"Xie Chen got a perfect score of 50 points! There is really no suspense for him to enter the final. However, LaVine seems to be very close to Gordon's score. I don't know if there will be any suspense for the second place." Yang Jian said.

Zhang Weiping said: "There will be no suspense. Zach LaVine is definitely in the finals. Aaron Gordon has almost fully demonstrated his strength. It is that kind of violent dunk, but it is difficult to win LaVine with such an action."

Xie Chen's first dunk has basically confirmed that he can enter the finals, but now everyone still thinks that it will be Zach Laven who will play against Xie Chen in the finals, and Xie Chen also thinks the same.

However, no one noticed the weird smile on Aaron Gordon's face at this moment.

"Xie is still the same as last year. He can fly in the air like Zach Raven and dunk artistically like Vince Carter. I will shock you from the second dunk!" Aaron Gordon has decided to officially show his true strength from the second dunk!
However, just when Aaron Gordon was thinking about squeezing out Zack Laven and defeating Xie Chen in the final, Drummond put his arm on Gordon's shoulder and asked, "Dude, you said Zack Laven and Xie, who will win the championship in the final? I guess it's Xie, how about you?"

Aaron Gordon's beautiful imagination was extinguished by Drummond's words. Gordon was very upset. Drummond actually regarded Gordon as a player of his own level!
"I can't wait to play right away!" Gordon glanced at his team's mascot, and couldn't wait!
