This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 275 All-Star Weekend
Sprite SLAM.DUNK is also the most eye-catching existence in today's all-star individual performance.

The pre-match appearances are also designed.

Accompanied by the rapper's performance, four slam dunk contests appeared bouncing in the center of the field.

JR. Smith, surrounded by a group of dancers, was introduced first, the second was the Spanish teenager Rudy Fernandez, and on the other side were two players with the title of dunk king, Dwight Howard and Neil T. Robinson.

On the huge fluorescent screen, there are all kinds of dunk highlights of the four players who are about to participate in the dunk contest. The four players can indeed be called legitimate dunkers.

After the lights dimmed and came back on again, the pitch had been cleared.

The dunk contest is about to begin!
This year's slam dunk contest is hosted by Tom Chambers (this gentleman participated in the 1987 slam dunk contest, when the champion was Michael Jordan). Dan Marley, the team's sharpshooter, made 5 three-pointers, which is also the current team history record of the Suns. The third is Kevin Johnson, who was also a star of the Suns at that time, and the Suns' historical assists Wang, and this gentleman is still a rare NBA player who became the mayor of a city. The fourth place, Cedric Ceballos, the slam dunk champion in 800, was also the player who followed Barkley to the finals during the Suns. One is Larry Nance, the 1992 slam dunk contest champion and the main center of the Suns at that time.

After all, it is Phoenix's home court, so all the judges of the slam dunk contest invited are famous Suns. Fortunately, no Phoenix Suns players participated in this slam dunk contest.

The first player to play was JR. Smith. His first dunk was obviously a little conservative. He used a small tie-rod relay dunk after throwing the ball and then landing the ground. The judges did not give 10 points. Chambers and Kevin. Johnson even gave 8 points, the others were 9 points, a total of 43 points!
Rudy Fernandez, as the second player to play, is also the only white player. He put on the No. 10 jersey of Frando Martin, the first Spanish player to play in the NBA, in Portland. He came to the NBA this season, which means inheritance.

However, his dunk can only be said to be so-so, a relay dunk after rebounding and catching the ball with a back pass, and his score is not even as high as that of JR, adding up to only 42 points.

Nate Robinson, as the third player to play, is also the champion of the 06 slam dunk contest. His height has become his biggest advantage. Of course, his success rate is not flattering according to the usual practice, but this time he won the [-] dunk contest. Trying to use a relay windmill after a throw to win the whole house, and the camera was also shown to one side of the Knicks diehard Spike Lee. These years, the Knicks have been a mess, and it is estimated that they can only rely on the slam dunk contest. Let's get some limelight.

As a player whose real height may be less than 1.75 meters, it is not easy to complete this action. Cedric Ceballos gave 10 points, and other ratings gave 9 points, a total of 46 points. Currently number one.

Dwight Howard, the last slam dunk champion, played in the finale of the first round.

Many people are also looking forward to a little surprise brought by this funny big baby.

Dwight Howard's first dunk was the most difficult. After several attempts, he finally found his rhythm. He threw the ball from one side of the backboard and turned 270° to pull the bar to dunk!Doing this kind of action as an inside big man can also add a lot of points.

And the five judges also lit up all 10 points, for a total of 50 points.

Rudy Fernandez, who had the lowest score in the first round, played in the second round first, because one of the balls in the two rounds of the slam dunk contest preliminaries needs to be completed through cooperation, and Rudy Fernandez found his Spanish compatriot Paul Gaso I pass the ball to him.

What they want to try is Gasol passing back to the back of the backboard, Rudy catches the ball from behind the backboard and dunks the ball in. This ball is even more difficult than the ball passed by AI to Iguodala at that time. , Passing the ball is not easy for dunkers. If you dunk it, you will be a god. Unfortunately, the first attempt failed directly. In the end, Rudy Fernandez failed to complete this action. Difficulty, after many attempts, came a simple copy of Iguodala back then, because it had appeared before and tried many times, so Fernandez still only had 42 points, a total of 84 points.

Basically eliminated!
JR's second appearance!
JR recruited the future Guangdong star Wilms to cooperate with him. The movements JR tried were also very difficult. After catching the floor ball passed by Wilms, he changed his back and dunked!

In the end, like Fernandez, after trying many times, he changed his action and dunked with an ordinary rebound ball on the ground.

The score is naturally not much higher.

The same is 42 points, adding up to 85 points is 1 point higher than Fernandez.

The third player to play is Robinson. This time, he stepped on his teammate Chandler and dunked in a long-distance gliding. In the end, he only scored 41 points. However, because of the 45 points in the previous round, he scored a total of 86 points and advanced ahead of schedule. up.

Howard, who is in love with the show, made a fuss, put on the Superman cape again, and raised the basket, about 3.5 meters, but because of his strong physical fitness, after receiving a pass from Jamal Nelson , is still easy to buckle in!

Although the appreciation is average, among the few players present, I am afraid that Howard is the only player who can deduct this height!
Another 50 points, with a full score of 100 points to enter the final!

He will compete with Nate Robinson for a third time in the slam dunk contest.

In the first round, the low-scoring Nate Robinson dunked first, and Nate Robinson rarely dunked the ball at once. Less, it would be too easy for other players to do this kind of action, but Robinson is too short, so he got a bonus. This time the finals were voted by fans, so the score is temporarily unknown.

Howard's dunk in response to Nate Robinson's goal was quite exciting. He hit the side of the backboard to catch the ball and then glided for a dunk. It was also a one-time dunk. distance.

Similarly, this ball has to wait for fans to vote!
But there is no doubt that both of these dunks have a potential of 50 points if scored!

However, the decision-making power of this dunk contest is rarely given to the fans!
There is only one buckle left, and Nate Robinson is about to start playing tricks. He found his competitor Dwight Howard, and let Howard put on a Superman cape. He wanted to leap over the 2.11-meter-tall Dwight Howard .

Although there were some flaws in the final finish, Nate Robinson pressed Howard's shoulders and dunked it in, but due to his height, the ball still received a lot of applause.

Dwight Howard is coming to the finale!
Zhou Lin, who was wearing Bruce Lee's yellow practice uniform, also quietly succeeded in changing clothes, and was dragged out by Howard, and his appearance also attracted the attention of the audience.

Zhou Lin also participated in the slam dunk contest in 07. Although he failed to win the championship, Bruce Lee's dress is also a very classic picture, which also left memories for many fans.

"Has Howard asked Zhou Lin to cooperate?"

This ball can be matched or not. In other words, Zhou Lin is just a prop.

"Although the two compete fiercely on the court, it can be seen that the private relationship is still good."

"Howard is a big boy, and he doesn't hold grudges, and Zhou Lin also has the humble and refined character of our Chinese people. The two of them really don't know how to talk about each other after the end."

"Hey!" Howard pointed to Zhou Lin, and then pulled Zhou Lin to stand back to back, and the camera focused on Zhou Lin and Dwight at this moment.

"He's more than six foot nine!"

From the screen, Zhou Lin and Howard are almost the same height. Howard was only 2.08 meters when he entered the league, but he was a high school student at that time, so he has grown a little in the past few years, so his shoes are about six feet tall. 11, which is about 2.11 meters, and although Zhou Lin claims to be 2.06 meters, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Lin's height is basically about 2.1 meters in shoes, and his bare feet are more than 207 meters.

They are basically the same height standing up!
"That's interesting!"

One is [-] feet [-], the other is [-] feet [-], they look the same height, who is lying?

Howard laughed and said, "He's a kid who likes to tell lies."

Zhou Lin smiled, let’s break it down, it doesn’t matter, now it’s not the time for me to come to the NBA, I’m in the NBA for the third season, now someone will arrange me to play the fifth position because of my height ?Obviously impossible.

Of course, what Howard meant was obvious. The player he wanted to leap was also a player who was as tall as himself, which was not inferior to Nate Robinson's difficulty of leaping himself. Of course, Howard obviously wanted to add drama!

If you simply leap, you will definitely be compared!
According to the agreement between Zhou Lin and Howard, Zhou Lin finished hitting the ground and bouncing the ball, while Howard was pulling the ball after Feiyue himself caught the ball.

The difficulty of this ball can be said to be the best in the audience. After all, there is such a big obstacle as Zhou Lin!

Zhou Lin and Howard are now discussing the height of the bouncing ball. The height of the ball should not be too high or too low.
Soon, Zhou Lin nodded and stood under the basket. While looking at the ground with his head, the ball went down and bounced. Unfortunately, the first time Howard jumped a bit too much, he directly made a high jump and failed!
The second time, Zhou Lin made a slight mistake in throwing the ball.

Howard is already a little tired, the third and last chance, otherwise he can only modify his actions.

At this moment, Zhou Lin slapped the ball lightly, Zhou Lin only felt Howard leaping from his head, and then heard the sound of the basketball quickly touching the net!

finished!
Zhou Lin and Howard bumped into each other, and he was quite surprised when he watched the replay.

"I can't believe I can't win the championship!"

Although Nate Robinson dunked well, Howard still felt that he should be the champion of the dunk contest!

On-site voting is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Two former dunk kings, who can be crowned again!

The two stood together, and finally the black girl host looked at the data and called out Dwight Howard's name!

Wow!

The audience was boiling, and Howard defended the title.

According to history, Nate Robinson should have defeated the monster Howard this time. Of course, it must be the buckle that Zhou Lin thought had an effect.

"Hey, Dwight, give me half the bonus!"

Zhou Lin laughed and teased Howard.

"You take the trophy back? Anyway, I already have one."

The two smiled. In tomorrow's All-Star Game, he and Zhou Lin will start together, which can be regarded as a dream collaboration.

It is worth mentioning that this cynical baby actually pretended to be Billups to order food in the hotel at night, and when the staff sent him to the room of Chauncey who was sleeping soundly, Billups It was also covered up.

The head coach of the Eastern Conference for this year's All-Star Game is Doug Rivers, but Jane Rondo did not make it to this year's All-Star.

The West bench is: Shaquille O'Neal, Tony Parker, Steve Nash, Paul Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki, David West, Chauncey Billups.

This All-Star Zhou Lin only played 13 minutes and scored 5 points and 3 assists.

Of course, Zhou Lin did not lack bright spots. One of them was the Chinese Derby, where Zhou Lin broke through and dunked Yao Ming.

In addition, Zhou Lin and Howard also completed a cooperative dunk, and two of the three assists were given to Howard.

In addition, there is a 3 points.

After all, Zhou Lin is young, at the age of 21, he is also the youngest in this All-Star Game, and the only All-Star player in the 06 class, so Rivers also deliberately gave more performance opportunities to those years Longer All-Star players, after all, Zhou Lin still has a lot of time to shine on the All-Star stage, but many veterans may be the last All-Star.

In the end, the Western All-Stars easily defeated the Eastern All-Stars 146-124.

27分+4篮板+4助攻的科比.布莱恩特和17分+5篮板+3助攻的奥尼尔一起捧起了全明星最有价值球员，也算是给这两个球员一个蓦然回首，恩怨全消的瞬间回眸……
