I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 231
The dunk contest finals begin.

The eyes of the world are on these two big men.

In last year's slam dunk contest, Howard has proved to the world that big men can fly.

He is the first center who can take off from the free throw line, and he makes the center no longer synonymous with bulk.

And this year, it pushed the slam dunk contest to a new era——there were actually two big men entering the slam dunk contest!

In the eyes of ordinary fans, these two big men are cheerful, creative, and good at being funny. They have taken over the mantle of Shaquille O'Neal. They entertain others and themselves. They are the most entertaining players. They are born to be Take center stage on this stage.

In the eyes of professionals, they see more.

With the development of the times, big men are more flexible, run faster and jump higher, and the traditional slow inside play is no longer suitable for their characteristics.

They are models of a new generation of inside players. Their characteristics are destined to lead to a faster team rhythm, more counterattacks, and more shots. Isn't this a sign of small ball play?
Could it be that times are really about to change?
In the eyes of brand sponsors, there is another layer of thinking.

There is a famous argument on the basketball court: big men don't sell shoes.

However, the appearance of Howard and Dorsey shows that big men can also fly, and they can fly higher and farther. These two smart and interesting guys can easily be ignored by people who are more than 2 meters tall. .

They can be sought after by young fans like Jordan, Kobe and James.

Moreover, that Dorsey is said to have not signed a long-term contract.

Participating in the All-Star Weekend this time, I actually accepted the sponsorship of two brands!

In yesterday's Rookie Challenge, he wore sneakers from a major international manufacturer, but today he wore a pair of sneakers from a Chinese brand!

The endorsement can still do this!It was an eye opener.

Obviously, this guy Dorsey has an unlimited future. In any case, he must be signed at all costs!
In the anticipation and thinking of everyone, the finals began.

The rules of the 2009 slam dunk contest were the same as those of the previous one. Instead of scoring by the judges, after two players completed two rounds of slam dunks, the fans voted through text messages and the Internet, and the one with the most votes won the championship.

Howard was the first to appear.

His first dunk was tossing the ball from the bottom line on the right side of the backboard. After the ball hit the edge of the backboard, Howard took off to catch the ball and dunked with a one-armed tomahawk loop.

This ball is not easy, and it requires a lot of force and angle when the ball hits the edge of the board.But when he met his opponent, Howard aroused his fighting spirit and state, and he finished it neatly.

If it is in the preliminaries, this goal is definitely worth 50 points.

Dorsey played, this time he will fully demonstrate his physical fitness and talent.

But as a person who is well versed in traffic ciphers in this era, it is impossible not to play something fancy.

There were only two staff members who moved out two paper figures, namely Jordan and Brent Barry.

According to the measured distance, the staff placed the models of Jordan and Barry respectively in the positions where they jumped from the free throw line to dunk in the slam dunk contest.

From the placement, you can see that Jordan is a little farther away, but both of their feet are more or less on the free throw line.

Obviously, Dorsey wants to replicate the classic moments of his predecessors, but also fly farther than them!
This is equivalent to a clear card!

Normally, the slam dunk contest is all about creativity and unexpected surprises.

But Dorsey did the opposite this time. However, this did not make the audience disappointed by being spoiled in advance, but made everyone look forward to it.

Can this 2 meter big man really do what his predecessors did, and jump farther than them?

This is the brilliance of Dorsey's shot. A simple jump from the free throw line is meaningless, but with the reference of Jordan and Barry, it is equivalent to defeating two previous slam dunk champions, and one of them is still The god of basketball!
Everyone is looking forward to and doubting, can this arrogant kid really do it?

During the TV broadcast, Howard was found on the sidelines at this time, and he was actually wiping his sweat.

The commentator laughed and said: "It seems that Dwight is also sweating for his opponent!"

But what they didn't know was that Howard's sweat was actually for himself.

Because his second ball was also prepared to jump from the free throw line.

Creativity crashed!
A car crash is not terrible, whoever is late will be embarrassed!
In fact, even if Howard used this trick on the first ball, Dorsey is not afraid.

Because I also prepared a paper man off the court, that is Howard.

If the opponent jumps from the free throw line, as long as you fly better and farther than him.

This is not about Dorsey's arrogance, but that he has the blessing of the system. Since he wanted to participate in the dunk contest, he has been increasing his jumping attributes. Recently, he has added almost all his ability points to his jumping.His jumping skills are already good, although every time he improves, he has to pay more SP values, but the effect is immediate.

Now his bounce attribute has reached 94!Much more than Howard.

Dorsey sprints so far, almost to the other basket, that it's both for a bigger momentum boost and as a means of entertaining the masses.

Sure enough, the audience became excited, and they all stood up at the same time, applauding and cheering for Dorsey.

If it can really surpass Jordan and Barry, the audience also wants to be a live witness of history.

Dorsey sprinted amidst the cheers of the audience, faster and faster, until he was a small step away from the free throw line, his legs exerted strength, and he flew up violently.

His tall body fully stretched out in the air, showing his amazing ability to stay in the air. Like a glider, he flew above the basket and dunked the ball in with one hand.

He succeeded!

The audience was thunderous, and everyone present became witnesses of history.

Although there is no record that Dorsey is the farthest free throw line gliding dunk, but he at least surpassed Jordan and Barry.

And the first two are the champions of the slam dunk contest!
Almost all the commentators from all over the world expressed their admiration in their own languages, and at the same time said that if there were no very special accidents, there would be no suspense about the champion of this dunk contest.

Howard's face was ashen.He already knew the outcome of his complete defeat. What's more troublesome is that the idea he had originally prepared was used up by his opponent in advance. What should he do next?
Howard played again.

Had to activate the backup plan urgently, called the gorilla of the Phoenix Suns, stood under the basket, and he made a slam dunk over King Kong.

This ball is also a one-time pass, the jump is high enough, and the dunk is also very enjoyable, but the creativity and drama are weak, and they are all bad plots.Especially with Zhuyu in front of him just now, this pretty good slam dunk didn't even make a splash.

Dorsey played again, and the audience cheered thunderously. What he now fully enjoys is the worship of the champion by everyone.

Everyone wants to see what tricks this kid can play!
It was Ross who appeared with Dorsey, and he usually had a little "facial paralysis" with a satisfied smile on his face.

That's right, everyone finally recognized the value of Dorsey, and he deserves such cheers and praise.

I saw him standing under the basket, holding two basketballs in his hands.

Everyone looked at it and guessed that it was going to smash two balls at the same time.

This kind of slam dunk is not easy. It requires the passer and the dunker to have a good understanding. At the same time, the dunker must have a long enough time in the air.

However, some people have done this before, and compared with the previous few balls, it seems that the difficulty has been reduced, and everyone is a little disappointed.

However, in the next second, Rose's action shocked the whole world!
