Chapter 399 Slam Dunk Contest
The slam dunk contest has always been the most eye-catching event of the All-Star Weekend besides the main game.

Satisfied, An Luo returned to the auditorium with his own three-pointer trophy and check.After that, there will be nothing for him.An Luo is still looking forward to the slam dunk contest.

However, this year's dunk contest was somewhat overshadowed.Among the four players originally determined to participate in the slam dunk contest, Orlando Magic power forward Aaron Gordon withdrew from the slam dunk contest due to a sprained left hip flexor, and was replaced by Jazz player Donovan Mitchell.The remaining three players will be unchanged, with Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo, Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance Jr. and Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith all able to participate normally.

The first to play was Mitchell, a rookie who often performed quite beautiful dunks in previous games.Physical fitness and jumping ability are top in the entire NBA league.The only flaw is that he is too short to play the second position.His first dunk was a sight to behold in the setup.

Mitchell activated the backup rebound prepared in advance, and it seemed that he was going to make a big move.However, when he dunked, An Luo was a little disappointed.He threw the ball to a farther backboard, received the bounced ball in the air, and took advantage of a big windmill to dunk the ball in.

9分、9分、10分、10分、10分。

Although the difficulty of this buckle is not particularly great, but fortunately, the idea is very good.In addition, it was a success, so the scores given by the referees were not low.

The second player to play was An Luo's teammate Oladipo last season.Speaking of this guy, he was traded to the Pacers last summer because the Thunder really did it for him.This season, he led the Pacers who lost Paul George. Instead of sinking, he advanced all the way, holding high in the fourth place in the Eastern Conference.His personal data is also quite beautiful, averaging 20+5+5 per game.And with his outstanding performance, he was selected for this season's All-Star Game.It once again verified the iron law that Lei Ting's products must be high-quality products.

His dunk is really difficult. Turn around 180 degrees to pick up the big windmill buckle with both hands.It's a pity that I failed to succeed after three attempts.In fact, he jumped high enough, but the follow-up movements were a little slower and he didn't keep up.In the end, they only scored 31 points, basically missing the finals.

Oladipo himself is also very helpless!Spreading his hands, he kept shaking his head.

Then came Smith from the now-renamed Mavericks.He also failed the first dunk, but then, he lowered his difficulty.Successfully completed a turn and pull back buckle, scoring 39 points.

Larry Nance Jr. was the last player to play.His dunk looks a little different.

He came alive on the court, wearing the jersey that his father Larry Nance had won the slam dunk contest.For a while, the entire arena was boiling.You know, in the first slam dunk contest in 1984, Larry Nance beat Dominique Wilkins, Julius Erving, and Daryl Griffith to win the championship.

Therefore, everyone hopes that Larry Nance can inherit the glory of his father and win the slam dunk trophy on this court.

Larry Nance Jr. is doing just fine.He almost perfectly copied his father's winning moves.But due to the difficulty, height and viewability, he only got 44 points in the end.

In the subsequent second round, these guys obviously performed much better than the first dunk.

Oladipo, who had the lowest score, took the lead. He took over the Black Panther mask from Bosman, the actor of Wakanda King T'Challa, and staged a dunk with a lever.Finally got 40 points.

Then Smith, who appeared on the stage, scored the first full score in this slam dunk contest with a 360-degree turn + crotch change dunk.

In the second round, Larry Nance, who had put on the Cavaliers' autumn clothes again, made a rather large turn and one-arm windmill, but this action was not particularly amazing.But still scored 49 points.

Mitchell, who played last, staged an explosive dunk leaping over the three after failing the first dunk.With this dunk, he scored the second perfect score in this slam dunk contest, joining hands with Larry Nance Jr. to enter the final duel.

The atmosphere at the scene was not bad, but actually for An Luo, these dunks were not particularly amazing.Even in normal games, there are countless dunks that are much more exciting than this.Not to mention the previous dunk contest.In recent years, apart from the historic matchup between Gordon and LaVine, there have been no particularly stunning dunks.

"I hope that in the next finals, the two of them can come up with some eye-catching moves!"

In the first action of the final, Larry Nance Jr. finally invited his father Larry Nance to the field.Judging from the applause at the scene, Larry Nance's reputation is really not low.

It's a pity that the dunk action is a bit ordinary.I should have prepared for more difficult moves, but because the first two attempts failed.Nance Jr. had no choice but to reduce the difficulty and complete the dunk.After all, it is not easy for father and son to connect, even on the All-Star stage.

A one-handed windmill dunk, the judges finally gave 46 points.It is estimated that Old Nance added a lot of points!
Mitchell also tried twice when he came up. After receiving the ball in the air for the third time, he straightened his arm and swung the ball directly into the basket from the position under his waist.The whole person stretches out completely in the air.The last buckle was powerful and heavy, very explosive!
This buckle made An Luo's eyes shine.I have to admit that this guy's jumping and waist strength are really too strong.In fact, in the dunk in the previous preliminaries, his bounce has been fully demonstrated.But this action has a greater impact.

As everyone expected, the judges finally scored a perfect score of 50 points.Mitchell himself was quite excited.This is already the second time he has dunked a perfect score in this dunk contest!

The pressure came to Xiao Nance all at once.He didn't come here for attention or that little bonus.As a second-generation star, he is actually quite low-key.But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps.And the slam dunk contest is the best place to start.

This is when the game gets interesting.Both players took out their kung fu to press the bottom of the box.The atmosphere at Staples has also reached its peak.
