This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 170 Slam Dunk Contest
Looking at Arenas, it seems that the champion has been decided by default.

In history, the winner of the 2007 three-point contest was Jason Kapono. He was also the first player to play. As a result, he counterattacked and scored 24 points, directly defeating Dirk Nowitzki and Arenas. Defending champion Dirk Nowitzki only shot a poor 10 points in the final, and Gilbert Arenas also lost too many balls in the front. Playing with hands, only 17 points were scored in the end.

Of course, Zhou Lin changed history, and the champion of the three-point shot contest became unknown.

Zhou Lin, who scored 20 points in the preliminaries, was also the first to play.

Being the first to play, the psychological pressure is actually the least. After all, no matter how many points you shoot, you can hope to win the championship.

And if you can play one more round, you can get a little Anta's wool for the Hope Project.

Of course, winning the championship is the best.

Zhou Lin absorbed the experience of the preliminaries, tried his best to stabilize the rhythm, and directly scored 5 points in the bottom corner of the first dessert.

The left 45° performed too poorly and only got 2 points.

At the top of the arc, he scored 4 points and was lucky to hit the money.ball.

At 45 degrees on the right side, Zhou Lin's shot rhythm was not very good. He only scored 2 goals, but he made another money.ball and scored 3 points.

In fact, if you want to tie the results of the preliminaries, you need to score all 6 points.

The bottom corner on the right is also Zhou Lin's sweet spot. Although he didn't hit all of them in the end, he also scored 5 points.

A total of 19 points.

Although slightly worse than the preliminaries, it is 18 point better than Nowitzki's 1 points in winning last year.

Nowitzki played second. Compared with Kapono's 24 points in history, Zhou Lin's 19 points were much less pressured. Nowitzki finally scored 17 points. Much better than the shameful 10 points in history.

But only a slightly more respectable elimination.

Nowitzki's three-pointer win is more or less a bit of a lucky factor. It is rare to win the championship with 18 points. However, Nowitzki's three-point ability is still a little bit weaker in front of a bunch of small pitchers. Lesser ones.

Now it's Arenas and Zhou Lin competing for the three-point championship.

Arenas felt very confident, as if the championship had already belonged to him.

Zhou Lin heard Anthony shouting from the side: "Gilbert, you need 20 points to win the championship, but I'm a little worried that your hands will shake."

Arenas glanced at Anthony and said, "Look, I can score 20 points even if I close my eyes."

Arrogant as Arenas!

Everyone looked at Arenas, and Arenas walked up to the shooting spot.

Well, the first one is off.

The second one is crooked!

The third one hasn't been hit yet!

Arenas' mentality was a little unstable. He didn't make a shot until the fourth, but he made it with the money.ball.

Arenas' second point also scored 3 points.

But the top of the arc is Arenas' favorite point, which is directly 5 points in a wave of 6 consecutive shots.

On the premise of two more points, he got 12 points.

The fourth point, another wave of 5 points, directly scored 17 points.

It only takes 2 points to tie Zhou Lin, and 3 points to overtake Zhou Lin.

Basically, as long as you don't stretch too much, Arenas will win the championship with a high probability.

Then Arenas began to pretend.

Although he didn't really shoot with his eyes closed, he shot the ball with one hand.

Arenas had the first goal, 18 points.

Zhou Lin also felt that he was gone.

But what I never expected was that Arenas missed the next two one-handed throws.

There is only one 1-point ball and one 1-point money.ball left.

Arenas finally let go of his arrogance for his three-pointer championship and chose to shoot more patiently.

Time is also ticking, Arenas' penultimate ball, hit.

19 points, tied with Zhou Lin.

Immediately afterwards, Arenas shot the last two points that determined the trend of the game, and adjusted his touch with luck before making the shot.

The ball fell into the basket!
Did you lose?
Arenas has opened his hands in celebration.

But an own goal suddenly appeared, and there was a sudden news from the technical table that Arenas' last goal was timed out!

Arenas' face turned green.

Therefore, Arenas' score is also 19 points!
An extra round is needed!
Can you still do this?

On the other side of the auditorium, Anthony covered his stomach with a smile, while Duncan covered his mouth and couldn't help laughing.

On the other side, O'Neill yelled as he walked: "It's not over, it's not over, oh, Gilbert, you screwed up."

He also imitated Arenas' one-handed ball throwing.

It is estimated that Arenas' mentality is about to crack.

Arenas' operation also proved that tailwinds really can't make waves.

As far as Zhou Lin is concerned, he is also happy to vote for another round. After all, Anta will donate the money for another round.

"Arenas is too careless. In the last point, even if he only scored 3 points, he can take away the game. However, if Zhou Lin can cast one more round, Anta should fulfill his promise of donation."

Su Qun said with a smile.

And the broadcast camera also focused on Zhou Lin's footsteps in a very humane way. The pair of Anta's "Control" series sneakers got a close-up of about 1 second.

Donate!

This is much cheaper than advertising on CCTV, and Anta executives must be very happy.

In the extra round, Zhou Lin was the first to play.

This round of Zhou Lin's performance is the best feeling and rhythm among the three shots, 5 points, 4 points, 5 points, 4 points, 4 points.

He scored 22 points directly, tying Arenas' preliminaries.

As for Arenas himself, after a round of waves, although he was a little more serious, he only scored 19 points in the end.

When Arenas made the last three points, Zhou Lin confirmed the championship. Su Qun shouted excitedly: "Zhou Lin, won the NBA All-Star Weekend 2007 three-point contest championship. attack!"

Zhou Lin walked over to give high fives to all the stars, and even hugged Anthony.

"You should thank me!"

If Anthony hadn't provoked Arenas, Arenas probably wouldn't have made such a fuss, and in the end he would have thrown away the champion.

Dirk Nowitzki touched Zhou Lin's head and said, "Well done, poor Gilbert~"

But he obviously didn't have the slightest sympathy for Arenas.

Zhou Lin soon won the NBA three-point contest championship trophy.

For Zhou Lin, participating in the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest is entirely for the fun, of course, it is also to cooperate with Anta in publicity, and at the same time, it is also to make a little contribution to the hope project of the motherland.

Moreover, Zhou Lin also announced during the interview with reporters that he would donate the US$2 bonus of the champion of the three-point shot contest to the Hope Project of the motherland.

In fact, almost all NBA stars who participate in the NBA individual championships will donate, which is almost a convention.

Of course, there are some NBA players in history who said before the game that I came to the NBA for bonuses, and they were inevitably criticized.

Zhou Lin winning the championship is a win-win situation for Anta, Project Hope, and Zhou Lin.

If Zhou Lin wins the championship, the exposure of the signed Anta brand will definitely increase, and in the form of donations, after the three competitions, Anta may donate nearly one million this time.

But does Anta lack this money?

With less than 100 million, the effect of 1000 million advertisements can be played, and it is still promoted through the mainstream media of CCTV, which is too valuable, and next Zhou Lin’s sneakers will be directly listed for sale. Taking control of the 'I generation, sales soared.

There will be income and word of mouth.

And this money, together with Zhou Lin’s donation from the three-point shooting contest and Zhou Lin’s own addition, at least more than 100 million RMB, for the construction of the Hope Project, the more the better.

Dunk Contest!

On the evening of the 18th, the most exciting events other than the All-Star Game will also start.

The 2006 defending champion Little Tudou Nate Robinson, Warcraft Howard, Gerald Green, and Zhou Lin will compete for the final championship.

In the 2006 Houston All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, the 1.75-meter-tall New York rookie Nate Robinson stood on the stage of the slam dunk contest and staged a classic PK battle with 76ers dunker Iguodala in the final.

However, what is dramatic is that Robinson and Iguodala tied in the final and can only decide the winner in the playoffs.

In the extra game, after Robinson changed hands twice in a row near the three-point line, he threw the ball far to the backboard, ran up and caught the rebounded ball for an alley-oop dunk.This action is extremely difficult, he tried more than a dozen times to complete it.With this performance, Robinson beat Iguodala by 1 point.

In fact, Zhou Lin believes that Iguodala is more qualified to win the slam dunk contest.

It's just that Nate Robinson's height is too cheap.

The stretch of Iguodala's dunk is quite similar to Carter's, but the explosive power is slightly inferior, but the creativity and success rate are enough.

Also because Nate Robinson tried too many times, it caused controversy among many people.

Therefore, there are two changes in the rules of this competition: first, the participating players must complete the dunk within 2 minutes, if he fails for the first time, he will have two chances to make up for it; The judges can provide instant replays of the shots, and based on the slow-motion replays on the TV, the referees can score more accurately.

The slam dunk contest referee lineup is unprecedentedly strong.

There are not only former slam dunk champions like Jordan, Wilkins and Dr. J, but also historical stars.

There are also current NBA dunkers like Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter who rely on the slam dunk championship to embark on the road to superstars. At the same time, both of them are also highly prestigious and powerful superstars in the league.

On the big screen at the scene, some slam dunk scenes are still being played, including the scene of Nate Robinson crossing the all-time favorite slam dunk king Spotter Webber last year, and the scene of Warcraft raging at the rim, and Gerald Green's aerial relay. Zhou Lin's bloody buckle and other scenes.

In fact, among these people, Zhou Lin didn't make many deductions this season, only about 30, less than one per game on average.

But the cut out picture is still very passionate.

There are two rounds in the preliminaries of the slam dunk contest, one for yourself and one for others.

What Zhou Lin found was his teammate Raymond Felton to cooperate.

In the commentary team, in addition to the regular A. Smith and Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson and Kevin Harlan were also invited.

Everyone was laughing at the picture of the fat Barkley falling to the ground in an event before.

And Michael Jordan in a black leather jacket first appeared on the broadcast screen, followed by Kobe in a striped suit, Vince Carter, Dominic Wilkins, and Dr. J Owen, appearing in the screen one after another .

The prize money of the dunk contest is a little higher than that of the three-point contest, and it is not only No.1.

No.1有3.5万美金，No.2则是2.25万美金，第三也有1.65万美金。

Zhou Lin was the first to appear.

After him, they are all players who will have the title of slam dunk king in the future.

Zhou Lin was discussing with Raymond Felton, and they immediately cooperated with each other when they were the first to come up.

The plan was to fly over Raymond Felton and dunk.

The 2-minute countdown began. Raymond Felton, with his head down, threw the ball with both hands.

Zhou Lin, who didn't count his steps well, failed in his first dunk, and the ball came out of his hand.

The second time, Zhou Lin took off successfully, passed the 1.85-meter Raymond Felton, and successfully dunked.

In fact, this kind of ball is not particularly difficult. After all, Zhou Lin's real height is close to 2.08 meters, which is more than 20 centimeters taller than Raymond Felton.

If Zhou Lin and Raymond Felton were reversed, the shock would be even higher.

Of course, Zhou Lin's success rate is not bad.

"It's not bad." Magician Johnson also gave such a comment. It's not brilliant, the creativity is average, but the quality is not bad, and Zhou Lin is still a yellow race.

The judges scored quickly.

Jordan was the first to reveal the score: 10 points.

Zhou Lin is a player of his own team. If you don't give him 10 points, whoever will get 10 points.

Kobe smiled, knowing it.

He gave 9 points.

Vince Carter gave a more demanding 8 points, Dominique Wilkins gave 9 points, and Dr. J Owen gave 8 points.

A total of 44 points was already higher than Zhou Lin expected.

The second one to come on stage is the nine-finger general Gerald Green.

The dunk used by Gerald Green is probably similar to the one Iverson gave Iguodala last year.

Paul Pierce personally passed the ball for his younger brother, and it was accurate. Gerald Green took off like a spring.

One time success!
On TNT, Barkley was yelling: "Same way, different form, different, different."

Compared with Iguodala's ball, Gerald Green's dunk height and stretch are stronger. In the playback screen, Gerald Green's head is completely out of the frame.

But Iguodala's one came out from behind the backboard, and the difficulty is a little higher. Anyway, each has its own advantages.

The fans at the scene all took out their scoring cards and gave an undisputed 10 points.

But in the end, Gerald Green didn't get a full score, but only 48 points.

Dr. J Owen and Michael Jordan only gave 9 points in the end...
