Chapter 184 The slam dunk contest, the first climax (Fifth update, please subscribe, please ask for a monthly ticket~)

This is the second time that as many as six players have declared their participation in the slam dunk contest since 1994, when there were six players.

The reason why 6 players are allowed to participate in the competition instead of 4 in previous sessions is mainly due to the following reasons. First, this All-Star Game is the 60th All-Star Game. In order to expand its influence, this slam dunk contest The number of participants fully accepted the opinions of the fans. The vast majority of fans believed that 6 players participating in the slam dunk contest would be more competitive and entertaining. , Yuan Man and Griffin are very typical representatives. If there are only 4 players participating, it will always give people a feeling of not enjoying themselves; third, Charles Barkley strongly requested the organizing committee members of the All-Star Game in Los Angeles Reinstate the rule of 6 players.

Finally, after comprehensive opinions from all parties, the Los Angeles Organizing Committee officially announced that the 60th All-Star Slam Dunk Contest will be participated by 6 players.

The rules of this competition have also been re-adjusted.

1. There will be two rounds of competition, the top three will advance to the final, and the champion, runner-up and third runner-up will be determined;

2. In the first round, each player dunks in turn, each dunks twice, and will be scored by the judges;
3. In the second round, each player dunks in turn, each dunks twice, and the player with the lowest score in the first round dunks first;

4. If the dunk fails, the player has one chance to make up the dunk, but there is only one chance to make up the dunk in each round, and the ball that has already been dunked cannot be dunked again;
5. There are five judges in total, and each judge will score a dunk from a minimum of 6 points to a maximum of 10 points, so the minimum score for each dunk is 30 points and the maximum score is 50 points;
6. If there is a tie in the two dunks in each round, overtime will be played, and the players with the same score will dunk once again until the winner is determined.

It can be said that the organizing committee of this event attaches great importance to the slam dunk contest, and the attention of fans is probably second only to the All-Star Game.

Yuan Man and Gibson, who participated in the All-Star Weekend, sat on the sidelines holding the entry list for the slam dunk contest. When Gibson read McGee's name, his tone became a little surprised.

"Isn't JaVale a center? Why did he come to participate in the slam dunk contest? And is he sure he didn't come to present treasures?" Gibson said in a joking tone, "I can't wait to see McGee's performance."

"Hey, how are you guys on the other side?" Charles Barkley, who was sitting on the live broadcast, was very excited. The entry list for this year's slam dunk contest is indeed very attractive. Barkley has been looking forward to the slam dunk match between Griffin and Yuan Man. Today is also about to be staged.

"This is the duel between Vince Carter and Michael Jordan!" Barkley excitedly spat at Kenny Smith who was sitting beside him.

"Yes! That's right!" Smith wiped off the water on his face, and said indifferently, "Not only them, but the 2007 slam dunk champion Gerald Green is also here. It is said that this guy just came from Europe. When I came back to join the Nets, I heard that there are many masters in this slam dunk contest, so I signed up excitedly."

"Wait." Barkley seemed to have discovered a new world, interrupted Smith, staring at the live camera and said, "Who is Yuan Man talking to?"

On the camera, Yuan Man, who had changed into the game uniform, was smiling and whispering intimately with Upton on the sidelines, with happy smiles appearing on their faces from time to time.

"Yuan is really happy." Barkley couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This girl's name is Kate Upton, she is 18 years old, she is a supermodel under Alba Studios, she is currently working in Los Angeles, and this matter was exposed early this morning, did you know?" Smith reported to Barkley The situation of this beautiful woman.

"18 years old." Barkley thought of himself when he was 18 years old. At that time, he still had 8 pack abs, but now, they have merged into 1 pack.

"I really envy Yuan Man." Griffin, DeRozan, and McGee sat together, looked at Yuan Man and Upton, and said in unison.

Not long after, the six players participating in the slam dunk contest came to the edge of the slam dunk field and were ready to play. McGee sat on the seat and looked around, and when he saw Yuan Man sitting beside him, McGee He also took the initiative to say hello to Yuan Man, who also responded with a smile.

No one knew that the relationship between the two was established because of the spicy chicken drumstick.

Before the slam dunk contest started, the five judges of this slam dunk contest were first introduced to all the fans.

The first is Kobe Bryant, the Lakers superstar who sits at home and has won the slam dunk contest;

The second place is Dominique Wilkins, the two-time dunk king known as the "essence of human movies";

The third place is the most familiar living treasure, the indispensable "big shark" in every All-Star Game - Shaquille O'Neal;
The fourth is also very familiar to everyone, Jason Richardson, who won two slam dunk contests in Philadelphia in 02 and Atlanta in 03;

The last one is the "God of Basketball" who makes all basketball fans worship and everyone knows about the NBA -- Michael Jordan!

The star-studded lineup of five judges seemed to excite fans even more than the upcoming players in the slam dunk contest.

When the host at the scene asked Jordan what attracted such a grand lineup to come as judges, Jordan said what the five judges present were full of expectations for this slam dunk contest!
After a brief interview before the game, amidst the warm applause of the fans and the eager anticipation of the fans in front of the TV, the slam dunk contest finally started!

The first player to play was DeRozan from the Raptors. What is amazing is that DeRozan is the only defender among all the participants, which is extremely rare in the history of the slam dunk contest.

DeRozan's first dunk used a pass from his teammate to step down and change hands for a dunk. The action was completed smoothly, but it was not stretched enough. It didn't seem exciting for a guard, so this dunk, DeRozan Rozan scored only 44 points.

Ibaka, who played second, did not think too much about the tricks of his movements due to his height. When he came up, he performed a simple and rough dunk from the free throw line, but it is a pity that not only stepped on the line with his foot, but also completed the dunk at the end. , It seems that even the strength of breastfeeding has been used, and there is no such elegant and free and easy feeling when Jordan dunks at the free throw line. 45 points, 1 point more than DeRozan is because Ibaka is a big man.

The third player to play was McGee, who received warm applause from the fans. McGee was standing on the center line with a basketball in each hand.

"What is he going to do?" Barkley couldn't help being curious.

At this time, the staff did not know where to bring another movable basket, which was next to the original basket.

McGee started with the ball, threw the ball in both hands to the backboard, and then caught the two balls in the air, and then dunked them to the basket on one side. Bounce, this slam dunk movement is very stretched and full of creativity!
"Oh, double balls and double irrigation, wonderful creativity!" Smith couldn't help but exclaimed.

After McGee successfully completed the action of hitting the board with the double ball and dunking the double basket, he himself became excited, and he grinned happily. The smile was so intoxicating, it was as beautiful as a gorilla!
James, who was sitting on the scene watching the game, also showed a similar smile, as if saying: "Man, you did a good job. You are worthy of my generation!"

Chris Paul excitedly took out a bunch of bananas and danced in the air.

McGee also shouted excitedly: "Put your hands in the air, tell you to ignore everything, lift up all your clothes, and throw all your hoods up!"

As a result, McGee really received a cover from a female fan at the scene, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated.

McGee kept his funny face, put the mask on his head directly, and dressed up as Mickey Mouse. The whistles and cheers on the scene continued for a long time. The atmosphere became more cheerful.
The five judges on the judging table burst into laughter. O'Neill held Kobe's shoulder with one hand and covered his stomach with the other, and he was about to burst out laughing.

And Kobe hasn't shown such a happy smile for a long time since the news of his divorce with Vanessa came out.

McGee's first dunk set off a wave of climax in the arena. The judges were not stingy with their scores and gave McGee the first full score in the dunk contest!
McGee, who scored 50 points, kept blowing kisses to the surrounding audience, as if he had won the championship.

　Today is the fifth change, and we will continue tomorrow!
