Chapter 337 The Five "Bosses" of the Slam Dunk Contest

This season's All-Star was held in Las Vegas, the "City of Las Vegas".

In the voting results, Li Lei won 261 million votes, winning the top spot for the third consecutive year.

The only difference is that this year no one questioned Li Lei's status as the number one voter.

赛季至今场均32.2分8.6篮板7.7助攻2.5抢断1.5盖帽，数据冠绝全联盟。

4 lore kills in more than half a season, and the miracle of 5 lore in 3 games.

Scored 63 points in a single game, surpassing Jordan and becoming the youngest 60+ man in NBA history.

With the Grizzlies plagued by injuries, he single-handedly brought the team to fifth place in the West.

……

Any one thing can make a player all the rage.

And all the things happened to Li Lei, so the effect is needless to say?
It can be said that this season is Li Lei's season!

Back to list.

West side:

Starting:

Stoudemire, Garnett, Li Lei, Kobe, Nash.

Substitute:

Duncan, Marion, Anthony, Ray Allen, Parker, Okur, Nowitzki.

East side:

Starting:

Yao Ming, McGrady, James, Iverson, Wade.

Substitutes: Howard, O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal, Kidd (missed due to injury, Joe Johnson on top), Carter, Caron Butler, Billups.

In addition, Li Lei was invited to the three-point contest and dunk contest, but Li Lei rejected them all.

……

On February 2, the rookie game started first.

This year, because Yi Jianlian was selected for the first-year team, domestic fans are also very concerned about the rookie game.

易建联本赛季至今场均9.6分4.8篮板0.7助攻1.3盖帽，投篮命中率44.2%，三分球命中率34.1%，在保罗身边打得还算不错。

But in the rookie game, Paul and Yi Jianlian became rivals.

In terms of strength, the second grade is obviously stronger.

尼克斯队的大卫李14投14中，得到30分11篮板，带领二年级队155：114战胜了一年级队，荣膺新秀赛MVP。

Yi Jianlian scored 12 points and 7 rebounds. His performance was not bad, and his two dunks were also very explosive.

Rudy Gay of the Grizzlies had 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

In the ensuing star shooting game, the Pistons sent a team consisting of Billups, the famous Laimbeer, and the female player Cash to win the final championship.

Then came the skills challenge.

Because of the defending champion Wade and Kobe Bryant, this event has attracted much attention.

The Flash vs. Peter Pan.

In the final final, it really became a duel between the two.

It's a pity that Kobe made several mistakes in the final. The first pass took four times to complete, and it took 45.8 seconds.

Wade completed the game in just 26.4 seconds.

In the end, Wade successfully defended his title and won the Skills Challenge trophy for the second consecutive year.

In the three-point contest, Li Lei's former teammate Jason Kapono scored 24 points in the final and successfully won the cup.

The last individual event is the dunk contest.

The players who participated in the dunk contest this year are very good.

The defending champion, Nate Robinson from the Knicks.

Magic center Dwight Howard.

Celtics small forward Gerald Green.

Bulls power forward Terrence Thomas.

These four are well-known dunkers in the league.

But it's a pity that the judges of the slam dunk contest get more attention than the players.

"Basketball God" Michael Jordan.

"The Essence of Human Cinema" Dominique Wilkins.

"Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant.

"Half-man, half-god" Vince Carter.

"Dr. J" Julius Erwin.

Li Lei was really glad that he rejected the invitation before, and dunked in front of these five people. Isn't that just playing big swords in front of Guan Gong and overthinking his capabilities?

Sure enough, at the end of the first round of preliminaries, no one got a full score of 50 points.

It's normal to think about it. The dunk that you think is "awesome" can only be regarded as a routine operation in front of these five people.

Terrence Thomas scored only 37 points on the first dunk.

If the judges scored such a low score in the previous slam dunk contest, they would definitely be sprayed to death.

But this time, the fans expressed their conviction.

Gerald Green played second, and he cooperated with teammate Pierce.

Pierce slams the ball to the side of the rim along the baseline. Green follows up from behind.This performance was wonderful in terms of creativity and quality of completion, and the scene was full of exclamations.

However, even so, there are still two judges who only scored 9 points.

Take a closer look at the five "big guys" in the judges' seat, smiling, extraordinarily calm, and even a little disdainful.

"Whatever dunks, just this kind of dunks, I can make a hundred of them casually."

Or so they thought.

Green scored 48 points.

Howard's first deduction was 43 points.

Defending champion Nate Robinson scored only 45 points in the first dunk.

This low score is also a record for the slam dunk contest, but looking at the five "big guys" on the judging panel, the fans dare not have any opinions.

In the second round of the preliminaries, Thomas only scored 43 points, and the total score was only 80 points.

Howard's second dunk is very creative.

The teammate threw the ball high under the basket. Howard caught the ball with his right hand and dunked it. At the same time, he put a sticker of his own face on the backboard with his left hand.From this dunk alone, there is nothing special, but his creativity lies in the fact that Howard showed his jumping ability in the form of stickers.

However... the judges don't seem to be impressed by such an idea.

"It's all about the bells and whistles, but it's actually meaningless!"

That's right, the five bigwigs in the jury must think so.

They only gave 42 points, so Howard's preliminaries totaled 85 points.

Robinson's second dunk is also very exciting.

His Knicks teammate, David Lee, who is 2 meters tall, stood straight under the basket and raised the ball over the top. Robinson ran sideways, jumped high and directly picked the ball from Lee's hand and dunked it in. basket.

Normally, this dunk is not given 50, but also 48 or 49.

But tonight's five judges all gave 5 points.

And if Robinson is not short enough, they might not give 9 points.

In this way, Robinson also scored 45 points in the second dunk, with a total score of 90 points in the preliminaries, and has locked a seat in the finals in advance.

Green, who was the last to appear on the stage, also made a gimmick. He asked Pierce to bring a life-sized cardboard of Nate Robinson, ready to perform a slam dunk that crossed the "Slam Dunk King". In the end, Green crossed his legs and leaped over Robinson successfully, then blindfolded his eyes with one hand and dunked successfully, scoring 47 points, with a total score of 95 points in the preliminaries, ranking first and entering the finals.

In the finals, the five masters still did not lower their standards.

Robinson, who performed mediocrely, only scored 80 points.

And Green, who performed extremely well, only scored 91 points.

In the end, Gerald Green finally lifted the trophy.

It's a pity that the fans only pay attention to the five big names in the jury.
