am i proud?

Chapter 256
The final round finally started, and of course Jason Richardson, who had a low score, played first.

I saw that he suddenly took out a Bulls No. 23 jersey and put it on himself, and then retreated to the baseline on the other side of the court with the ball.

The audience immediately became agitated... With such a long run-up distance, and wearing Jordan's jersey on purpose, it is obvious that he wants to copy the most classic free throw line jumping and dunking of the "God of Basketball"!
Wang Dalin couldn't help being a little surprised.

He knew that Richardson had never dunked this action in this slam dunk contest, and he had never dunked this action in his entire career. Since he even prepared the Jordan jersey tonight, it was obvious that he had already planned to play this action to pay tribute to Jordan.

In fact, Wang Dalin was quite interested.

With Richardson's jumping ability, of course there will be no problem with jumping and dunking from the free throw line, but the extent to which it can be achieved is not certain.

Many people have done this action in history, why is Jordan the most classic one?
Because Jordan's aerial posture is the best!
Especially when he completed this dunk for the first time in 1987, Jordan had a movement of retracting and stretching his abdomen in the air, so he looked extraordinarily elegant and comfortable.

On the other hand, other people, such as "Dr. J" Julius Owen, "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, Serge Ibaka, "Birdman" Chris Anderson, etc., they can only barely take off from the free throw line and dunk the ball into the basket. There is no aerial posture at all.

Even "Birdman" and "Rainman" had already stepped into the free throw line a lot when they took off. Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a "free throw line dunk" at all!
Scottie Pippen and Brent Barry are a little better, both of whom have decent aerial stance.

Pippen also made the movements of tightening and stretching the abdomen, but he failed to show Jordan's sense of ease at all;

Barry should be regarded as the most complete in this action except Jordan. His aerial posture is very elegant, but it still gives people a feeling of "I have tried my best".

In addition, there is Vince Carter, the fierce man known as "the first dunker in history". He completed a two-handed dunk from the free throw line in the 2000 dunk contest... Uh, he also stepped into the free throw line when he took off. It is not really a "free throw line dunk" at all!
I saw Richardson dribbled the ball a few times near the baseline, and then dribbled forward quickly. His speed was getting faster and faster, like a gust of wind, and he had passed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant.

Wang Dalin saw it clearly...Richardson's take-off was very precise, his left foot just stepped in front of the free throw line, and then jumped high.

As long as the posture in the air is not too hip, Wang Dalin believes that he will get full marks for this dunk.

After all, they are paying tribute to the classics. Although Jordan did not serve as a judge of the dunk contest this year, he is sitting in the audience. The judges must give Jordan some face!

Richardson's stance in the air is beautiful...tummy in...tummy out...dunk...almost exactly like Jordan.

After completing the dunk, Richardson raised his head to the sky and gave a long roar, and then saluted Jordan. Jordan smiled and saluted him back. The whole scene was both funny and touching.

The audience gave him extremely warm applause and cheers at the right time, and the DJ on the scene even more stimulated the atmosphere, leading many audiences to shout—"10 points...10 points...10 points..."

The 5 judges showed their signs at the same time, all with 10 points... As expected by Wang Dalin, he got 50 points for this deduction!
In fact, from Wang Dalin's point of view, this deduction is indeed worthy of a full score.

Richardson almost perfectly replicated Jordan's dunk, and even the air posture is exactly the same as Jordan's. Even if Jordan is not mentioned, this is undoubtedly a very exciting dunk.

Barkley said a little worriedly: "Although I have always had confidence in Darling, if he can't score 50 points, I'm afraid he will really lose!"

Bird laughed and said, "You're still Darling-Wang's old teammate! You don't even have that little confidence in him? Didn't you notice that Darling-Wang's moves tonight are all full marks. Couldn't he get full marks for his next dunk?"

Buckley was stunned, then laughed and said, "That's right... If I care about it, then it's chaos!"

Wang Dalin handed the towel on his thigh to the staff, and then walked into the court, and Artest walked into the court with him.

The audience saw that Artest was holding a basketball, while Wang Dalin was empty-handed, and they immediately became interested... Wang Dalin's previous two dunks were indeed wonderful, but this dunk was obviously Artest's cooperation with him, and it was unknown what kind of cooperation it was.

Sometimes this is the case, often the unknown is the most attractive!

I saw Artest holding the basketball directly below the basket, and then holding the ball on his head with both hands.

Wang Dalin frowned slightly, walked over to help him adjust his position, and then pulled three cheerleaders to stand in front of Artest.

Seeing four people standing in a vertical row under the basket, not only the audience was puzzled, but even the judges, Barkley, and Bird showed puzzled expressions on their faces... What the hell is this action?

Wang Dalin came to the left corner, waved to the audience, and then he suddenly started to rush towards the basket...

As soon as he stepped into the three-second zone, he jumped up with both feet at the same time. His legs flew over Artest's head, grabbed the basketball, and then turned his head to avoid the net and the basket.

Although his body had already started to fall after the successful dunk, the forward momentum still allowed him to glide over the heads of the three cheerleaders until he landed safely.

Although the whole process of this dunk is very short, the visual impact it brings is unparalleled, especially when he doesn't look back, he just catches the ball with one hand and swung it back.
The audience was all stunned. They first involuntarily let out an exclamation, followed by cheers and screams like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Bird and Smith were dumbfounded. Neither of them were unknown people who had never seen the world, but they had never seen such a dunk... never seen it!
Barkley was the first to react. He couldn't control his emotions at all. He stood up and shouted: "Darling, you are so awesome! This is the strongest dunk in history, bar none!"

The cheers and screams of the audience could not stop for a long time, they have been completely conquered.

If Wang Dalin's first two dunks are normal, at least people think they can imagine such a dunk... This dunk is completely beyond everyone's imagination.

This kind of explosive visual impact is definitely much stronger than Vince Carter's mid-air 360-degree windmill dunk. The NBA stars on the sidelines have already made various worship movements.

Richardson was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He didn't expect that Wang Dalin could pull out such an unimaginable action... Even though he got a perfect score for that dunk just now, he knew that even if the rules set the full score at 70 or 80 points, Wang Dalin's dunk would definitely get a full score!
Whether he wants to admit it or not, he must admit that he simply cannot complete such a dunk.

Uh, it's not that it can't be done, the main thing is... I can't think of such a move at all?

Wang Dalin hugged all three cheerleaders gracefully, and then hugged Artest with a fist bump.

It can be seen that Artest is also extremely excited... After all, being able to participate in such a great dunk is a great honor in itself.

A few years later, Artest, who has already retired, is likely to boast to his son. He said this-"I think back when your Uncle Wang dunked that 'Dragon Whisper' in the dunk contest, your father and I cooperated with him on the court!"

Well, yes, Wang Dalin changed the name of this dunk!

Since it has been "plagiarized" by myself, what's the point of calling it "scorpion wagging its tail"?
How good is "Dragon Wagging Tail"?
It sounds much taller than the "scorpion wagging its tail"!

The judges didn't drag their feet at all this time, they all held up the 10-point signs, and after entering the finals, both of them got full marks for their first buckle.

Richardson was ready for the second dunk, but there was still a lot of noise in the arena, so he had to wait aside with a wry smile, until the DJ at the scene had a hard time calling everyone to be quiet.

The scene finally quieted down. Richardson came to the right 45 degrees outside the three-point line. He first threw the ball high.

From the audience's point of view, Richardson's entire body in the air is like twisting a twist to complete a 360-degree turn, which is indeed very difficult.

It should be said that he was able to succeed in this deduction in one go. It should be said that there was a lot of luck... At least Wang Dalin felt that if he did this action, there was a high probability that he would not be able to succeed in one go.

In later generations, because "Little Potato" Nate Robinson had a very low success rate in the slam dunk contest, people always waited drowsily before he succeeded in dunking. Therefore, the organizer changed the rules to only have three chances for each dunk. After three dunks, no matter whether you succeed or not, you will be scored directly.

The judges all gave 10 points... This is another full-score slam dunk!

The whole audience started to sing. Because there were too many people talking, everyone sang not very neatly. Wang Dalin didn't hear what song they were singing, but felt that the song seemed to have a strong sense of rhythm.

It wasn't until Artest walked into the court again that the audience gradually quieted down.

Wang Dalin's fourth dunk was still completed with the cooperation of Artest. In view of the excitement of the dunk just now, everyone is looking forward to his dunk.

I saw Artest walked into the three-second zone with the basketball, stood about one meter in front of the basket, and then raised the ball above his head again.

Seeing this scene, Barkley couldn't help saying bitterly: "Well, Darling-King, how dare you lie to me that you're not going to fly over Ron? Damn it's all about flying over?"

Smith laughed and said, "They didn't say that it must not be Feiyue?"

Bird hurriedly said: "You all don't talk... Take a good look, it will start right away!"

Wang Dalin started from outside the three-point line on the right, rushed into the three-second zone and took off with both feet. He shrank his body, raised his legs level and high, grabbed the basketball with his right hand from above Artest's head, and then switched from under his buttocks to his left hand... This is the most classic "sit dunk" by Aaron Gordon in the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest!
In fact, in the previous life, Wang Dalin also complained for Gordon when he watched the slam dunk contest. He thought that Gordon's dunks were definitely higher than Zach LaVine, but the full score was only 50 points.

If each judge had 11 or 12 points, Gordon's "sit dunk" still deserves a full score, while LaVine's free throw line windmill is obviously inferior.

Amidst the thunderous applause of the audience, the judges finally showed their own brand. There is no doubt that Wang Dalin's deduction is of course a perfect score.

The two dunks in the final are over, and the two sides are tied. According to the rules, there must be an extra game.

Richardson was under a lot of pressure immediately, because he still had to dunk first in the extra game... This is a bit like a penalty kick in a football game. If you fail to kick the ball in, as long as the opponent scores, you lose!

As far as he was concerned, as long as he didn't get full marks for this dunk, according to Wang Dalin's superb state tonight, he was really in danger.

Thinking of this, he went straight to Wang Dalin and said with a smile, "Darling, can I invite you to cooperate with me?"

Wang Dalin was taken aback, stood up and said, "You don't mean to fly over me and dunk?"

Richardson smiled slightly and said, "Don't you think I can't fly you?"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "With your jumping ability, I'm afraid it's really worse!"

His height is a solid 211cm, even more than 213cm when he wears shoes... Thinking about how "Little Potato" had to use his hands to fly over Howard, he really didn't believe that Richardson could fly directly over him.

Richardson said with a smile: "You believe me, I will definitely be able to fly over!"

Wang Dalin thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"

……

Seeing that Wang Dalin actually became Richardson's partner, the atmosphere at the scene was immediately ignited, with various applause, cheers and screams one after another.

Everyone stood up, cheering and clapping, wishing they could stand on the field and partner Richardson.

Wang Dalin stood in the three-second zone facing the basket, less than one meter away from the basket... This position was arranged for him by Richardson, and he probably had already found someone to practice with the Warriors.

Richardson started from the second half, he did not dribble, but accelerated directly by grabbing the ball with one hand with his right hand.

Rushing behind Wang Dalin Wang Dalin, he jumped up with both feet, put his left hand on Wang Dalin's shoulder, and flew over his head dangerously, then smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand.

When he flew over Wang Dalin, everyone exclaimed, because Wang Dalin's height is almost impossible for someone to fly over directly.

So...Richardson did a "pole vault" anyway!
Since it is a "pole vault", it will eventually cause some controversy. For example, the judges had a dispute this time. "Dr. J" sitting in the middle no matter how others persuaded him, he still held up the 9-point sign without hesitation. In the end, Richardson only got 49 points for this deduction.

"It's over!"

Richardson looked a little sad. He knew that he was probably going to lose, but he didn't expect that he had Wang Dalin as his partner. Such a stunning gimmick failed to impress all the judges.

It was Wang Dalin's turn to make the last dunk.

The "Dragon Wagging Tail" and "Sitting Button" just now are already wonderful, and people are looking forward to what other tricks he can play.

Maybe they were all thinking... It couldn't be more exciting than those two buckles just now, right?

In fact, Wang Dalin was a little hesitant, because he had indeed released his ultimate move in advance...Of course he still has a lot of creativity, but it is obviously not easy to make it more exciting than the two buckles just now.

In fact, there is a movement deep in his heart that is very strong, at least not worse than "sit button" and "dragon wagging tail", but he has tried it in private before, and the success rate is not high.

With his height and wingspan, coupled with his current jumping ability, he would still feel that this move is extremely difficult. It is conceivable that this must be an extremely exciting dunk.

"That's all! Death is death!"

Wang Dalin thought for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh and stood up.

I saw that he didn't delay at all, grabbed the ball and dribbled it a few times in a row without making many adjustments. He rushed into the three-second zone with an acceleration, and then took off with both feet under the basket.

Everyone has seen it... From the moment he took off, his body has started to rotate rapidly. Before he reached the highest point, the rotation angle has exceeded 360 degrees, and the speed of his rotation has no tendency to slow down.

"Could it be that he wants...impossible?"

Richardson could see very clearly from this position, because Wang Dalin's turning speed was too fast, even he could barely see how many times the opponent turned in the air.

I saw that Wang Dalin's body finally began to fall after reaching the highest point. Fortunately, at this moment, his rotation finally ended. He threw the ball back with both hands, and only heard a "clang", and the basketball hit the net.

At this time, Wang Dalin had already lost his center of gravity. When he landed, he staggered and nearly fell, so he had to support the floor with his hands, and then managed to stabilize his figure.

"Wow……"

"Oye..."

"I buy it..."

There was already an uproar in the stands, and almost everyone jumped up... Due to the excitement, countless people in the adjacent seats hugged each other, screaming while hugging, regardless of whether they knew each other or not.

At this moment, all the big screens above the arena played the slow motion of Wang Dalin's dunk just now. After he took off, his body turned like a top, and he didn't stop even after he scored a dunk.

This is a pretty standard midair 720 dunk... definitely a 720, no discounts!
The judges unanimously raised the 10-point sign, and finally Wang Dalin beat Richardson's 49 points with a perfect move.

For a while, many people thought of the fierce confrontation between Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins, the "human movie essence" in 1988.

In the last dunk, Wilkins also scored 49 points. If Jordan wants to beat him, he must deduct full points. As a result, he once again resorted to a free throw line dunk action, defeating this powerful opponent with a full score.

The game finally ended, and when "Dr. J" handed the championship trophy to Wang Dalin, the audience burst into the most enthusiastic applause again.

Holding the trophy in his arms, Wang Dalin delivered his acceptance speech——

"First of all, I have to thank my good brother Ron, you and I cooperated perfectly today...Thank you, brother, I can't do it without you!"

"Secondly, I want to thank my family. Although I know they may not be sitting in front of the TV at this time, I still want to thank them...Dad, Mom, thank you for letting me choose the path of basketball. I will continue to play hard in the future and strive for more brilliant results!"

"Then I want to thank my opponent tonight...Jason, you are my strongest opponent. Without you, I can't force myself to be the strongest. Thank you!"

"Finally, I would like to thank the fans who came to the scene tonight and all the audience in front of the TV. It is because of your support that I have such a strong motivation. Thank you!"

"Thank you everyone! I hope everyone can sleep well tonight. See you in the All-Star Game tomorrow night!"

His speech also referred to Zach LaVine's acceptance speech in 2016, especially thanking Richardson for saying "I can't force myself to be the strongest without you", which attracted everyone at the scene to applaud him.

After winning the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, he completed two more "All-Star Milestones", and he can draw two A-level star skills for free.

Although he already has more than a dozen A-level skills, the more of these things is of course better, and it is better than nothing, so he got these two skills immediately after returning home that night.

"Buddha's Radiance (Level A): The unique secret skill of Klay Thompson, a future member of the Golden State Warriors' Hall of Fame. This skill can be activated freely. The effect of use: Forcibly increase the host's state in the game to 140%, increase the three-point shooting ability to full value, and increase the three-point shooting skill effect to the upper limit."

"Note: The effect of this skill is too powerful, so it can only be used once per season, and it can only be used in the regular season. Please be careful with the host!"

When he first saw the introduction of this skill, Wang Dalin thought that it should definitely be an S-level star skill. There is no other reason, and the effect is too heaven-defying, right?

But when I saw the remarks behind, I was dumbfounded.

No wonder it is an A-level skill...Compared to "Super God Pickled Pepper", the effect of "Buddha's Radiance" is naturally much stronger, but the usage limit is too large, right?

Although it has the side effect of "declining for three games" after it is useless, what the hell is it that can only be used once a season?

Why the hell can it only be used in the regular season?
Why the hell am I so aggressive during the regular season?

Is it a record?

Huh?
Yes!Isn't this the record-breaking best "BUFF"?

With this trick, whenever I feel that I am in good shape, I will use it directly. Maybe I can set a single-game score, assist or rebound record... Well, even with the blessing of this skill, it is also as difficult to break those single-game records!
Want to break the record, after all, is something that can be met but not sought after, or... just let it go!

In addition, there is another skill that is relatively tasteless to him, called "Slot Master", the effect is to increase the "Slot Inspiration" when grabbing rebounds by 5%.

Card slot inspiration?

what is this?
Wang Dalin has never been very interested in such mysterious and mysterious things, so he didn't care about it after assembling the skills.

At this moment, he didn't expect how much benefit this skill would bring him in the future, which will naturally be explained later...
