Chapter 139 Preparing for the Slam Dunk Contest
After defeating the Pistons and returning to Philadelphia, Yang Ze still soaked in the training hall, and Iguodala, Iverson and others practiced together.

Iguodala trained much more seriously than before, and he even called it closer to his idol.

After training for a while, Iverson and Yang Ze sat side by side and asked, "The registration for All-Star Weekend, Skills, Slam Dunk Contest, and Three-Point Contest is about to start. Do you have any ideas?"

Yang Ze is definitely interested in the All-Star Weekend. The chance of the main game is estimated to be very slim. There are not many cases of entering the All-Star in the rookie season, but very few.

With Yang Ze's current ability, he can play something in the All-Star Game. Besides, he still has nearly two months of training time. Whether he has a chance or not is up to Yang Ze himself.

So, do your best, listen to the fate, make good use of it if you can, and don’t have any regrets if you can’t. There will be opportunities in the future.

As for other additional events, Yang Ze has little interest in the skills competition.

Compared with the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest, the skills competition has received relatively little attention.

In terms of appreciation, the slam dunk contest is the most eye-catching.

"Can I go?"

Iverson: "If you sign up, you can go."

"Can you report two?"

Iguodala: "Idols are idols, both ways."

"The dunk contest and the three-point contest?" Iverson asked.

Ze Yang nodded.

"Your bounce now?" Iverson asked curiously.

Yang Ze: "It should be 1 meters."

Iguodala, who was drinking water, sprayed it out directly.

I remember it was more than a month. It was only 97 two months ago, and now it is 1 meters. Since you are not tall, you can bounce at full length?

Iverson patted his chest and said to himself: "It's okay, it's okay."

Yang Ze looked at Iverson and Iguodala, and asked suspiciously: "Why, this bounce is not good, then I will think of a way, and it has increased a little in the past two months."

Iguodala: "Idol, do you think you are a vegetable seller in the vegetable market, and you can go up if you want?"

Although Yang Ze doesn't have the ability to increase as much as he wants, at least he can find a few good bouncers to use as background boards, and then improve his own jumping.

Iverson: "Bouncing is a very important ability for dunking. Bounce alone is not enough. There are also bouncing speed, dunk skills and so on."

"The three-pointer contest, it depends on you to practice. With your three-pointer ability, it should be no problem to enter the second round."

Yang Ze: "Since I have gone, the second round is not my goal, the championship is."

Iverson stood up, patted Yang Ze on the shoulder and said, "The three-point shooting competition is easy to talk about. You should hurry up and practice dunking. The one next to you almost won the slam dunk championship."

The main members of the current Philadelphia 76ers are all accompanied by skills. Needless to say, Iverson, dribbling and breakthrough are the top of the pyramid.

Korver's specialty is shooting, averaging 3.2 three-pointers per game, which is already a very good result in the current NBA league. You must know that three-pointers are not so popular yet.

This year, the 76ers also became the team with the most three-pointers in the league.

Iguodala's skills, in addition to being able to play a point forward, has a certain passing ability, and his dunks are at the level of a dunk king.

Iguodala immediately retorted: "What is almost, the slam dunk king was originally mine. I didn't lose in the action, but I lost to the judges."

What Iguodala said is the truth. In 06, Iguodala and Nate Robinson entered the finals of the slam dunk contest. Iguodala could have won the championship with 45 points. This is not a high score in the slam dunk contest. The score, Iguodala should be easily satisfied.

But after Iguodala made a crotch dunk, he only scored 44 points and was forced to be dragged into the playoffs.

Kenny Smith, the judge on the far side of the scene, was very interesting. He originally wanted to give Iguodala 9 points, but after seeing the scores given by other referees, he temporarily changed it to 8 points. This mental arithmetic ability is also top-notch. .

In the play-offs, Robinson tried 15 consecutive lobs, and it took nearly 4 minutes to succeed. The audience almost fell asleep, but he still scored 47 points.

And Iguodala completed the crotch change with a very crisp action, but only scored 46 points, and Robinson won the championship.

Boos immediately erupted at the scene. Iverson and Kobe Bryant, the two giants of the rivers and lakes, were stunned and quickly stood up to argue, but unfortunately, none of this had any impact on the result of the game.

Iguodala performed the best, but was "hacked" and lost the slam dunk contest championship.

Iverson: "Then to prove yourself, you go again this year."

Iguodala shook his head. He had been brooding over last year's slam dunk contest, and said angrily, "No, if I want to go, I will also go to the three-point contest, because there are no judges there."

Iverson smiled, of course he knew, because he was there at the time.

"Okay, stop complaining, since Yang wants to go, then you have to teach him something."

Ze Yang: "I will help you get back that slam dunk king."

Both Ze Yang and Iguodala have one thing in common in the game, that is, after a breakthrough, they will never layup if they can dunk.

In recent games, Ze Yang's dunk frequency is also much higher.

Dunking O'Neal, Garnett, and Rasheed Wallace, these are all defensive champions inside, almost all members of the defensive team.

Of course, this kind of slam dunk pays attention to strength and strength, and it is not so rich in skills.

What Iverson asked Iguodala to guide Ze Yang is dunk skills and some beautiful dunk moves.

Yi Ge first asked Yang Ze to practice changing hands in the air.

Yang Ze made a run-up from the top of the arc, took off one step before the free throw line, and switched his left hand to his right hand under his crotch. It was just that when he dunked, his body was already in a downward trend.

"When changing hands, the speed is faster, and the strength of the jump is greater." Iguodala said.

Yang Ze nodded. Now he is not the stunned young man a year ago. If Iguodala reminds him a little bit, he can understand his mistake and how to change it.

Second try, fail, third try fail, fourth try, fail.

Until the fifth time, Ze Yang quickly changed hands, with a one-armed tomahawk, and Iguodala clapped his hands while nodding.

"It smells like that." Brother Yi said it lightly, but in his heart he admired Yang Ze's learning ability.

"Then continue."

When Yang Ze learns an ability, he will be able to master it almost, and then proceed to the next step of training.

One afternoon, Ze Yang practiced crotch hand changes and 180-degree swivel dunks under the guidance of Andre Iguodala.

In the evening, Yang Ze had to stop and dunk. Although he still had strength, his arm was too much for him.

I also practiced on and off throughout the afternoon, and I didn't dare to keep dunking.

In the evening, Yi Ge and Iverson went back, and Yang Ze asked the staff in the training hall to set the ball for himself, timed, and he began to practice the shooting practice of the three-point contest.

The three-pointer contest is different from the usual three-pointer. It has a time limit and surrounds the half court. There are five points in total. Each ordinary ball scores one point, and each point also has a flower ball, and each flower ball gets two points. .

The total score is 30 points.

After Yang Ze practiced for the first time, his hit rate was not bad, but the time was still a bit tight.

After one night, he has made remarkable progress, but Yang Ze still needs more practice to be far from the three-point champion.
