NBA bench saves national team

Ray Allen was still holding his shooting arm high. He retracted his arm when he saw the basketball fall, and shook his head helplessly.

In this way, the champion of this year's All-Star three-point contest is James Jones from the Heat!

Jones on the sidelines was stunned and didn't seem to react.

Immediately, ecstasy appeared on his face, he jumped up and down excitedly, and hugged the players around him with high fives.

"It's really unexpected that Jones won the three-point contest."

Durant muttered.

"Yeah! Durant was the favorite to win the championship, but I didn't expect to score 6 points in the preliminaries. After you were eliminated, the championship of this three-point contest became confusing."

"And don't underestimate Jones, he is a very good three-point shooter."

Qin Feng said, with ridicule in his tone.

For James Jones, who just won the three-point contest, Qin Feng really didn't have much influence on his player era.

What impressed him the most were some things after Jones retired.

Jones went to the Suns after retiring, became the vice president of basketball affairs, and then was promoted to the general manager of the team, with sole control of the team's operations.

In just two years, he built the Suns into one of the strongest teams in the league.

Although the Suns' performance in the playoffs is still hip.

Especially in the 2022 playoffs, the Suns were overturned by the Mavericks with a 2:0 lead, and became the laughing stock of the world.

But it is undeniable that the Suns are still very strong and will still have the strength to compete for the championship next season.

And Jones deserves to be the biggest contributor to building this king's division.

After all, the Suns fell into a quagmire after Nash left, and they have been the bottom team in the league for more than ten years.

"Of course! Although I was surprised, I also know that the one who can win the three-point contest must be the top pitcher in the league."

"But man, this is not a good thing for us! After all, the Heat are our biggest opponent on the way to the championship."

Durant ignored Qin Feng's ridicule, but said seriously.

"It's enough for you to defend him! Although your three-pointers are unreliable, your defensive ability is still trustworthy!"

Qin Feng grinned and teased Durant again.

"I thank you for your affirmation! Let me affirm that I am a useful person."

Durant rolled his eyes and said, he knew this stalk would not pass.

I only scored 6 points, and I am not the old 6. I am still one of the ace players of the Thunder!

But in Qin Feng's mouth, he seems to be the old Lu......

During the chat between the two.

The awards ceremony has begun.

Jones looked very excited. After receiving the championship trophy in the three-point contest, his eyes were a little moist.

For a player like him, the three-point contest championship may be the highest honor he can get.

Pierce is still chattering, feeling very sorry for losing this championship.

Junzi Lei is very indifferent. For him, there is no need to use the honor of winning the three-point contest to prove his three-point shooting ability.

The award ceremony is over.

have a break.

The dunk contest begins.

The contestants in this dunk contest include Blake Griffin, JaVale McGee, DeMar DeRozan, Ibaka.

Originally, Jennings would also participate, but due to injury, he withdrew from the dunk contest and was replaced by DeRozan.

As a player of the Thunder, Ibaka also attracted much attention in this dunk contest.

Of course, the most concerned is the new Clippers boss Blake Griffin, who has returned from injury and returned to the king this season.

In the regular season, Griffin has staged explosive dunks many times!

His dunk videos are frequently ranked first in the top ten balls. Such a powerful way of playing has also made his popularity spread rapidly, and now he has captured a lot of fans.

This amazing physical quality earned Griffin the nickname "White Warcraft".

It can be said that Griffin's physical fitness is absolutely top-notch among whites.

The only shortcoming is that the arm span is not long, in layman's terms, the arms are short...

"Qin, who do you think can win the slam dunk contest?"

Durant asked excitedly.

"Griffin."

Qin Feng responded briefly.

"No! No! No! I think DeRozan is more like a champion. After all, he won the runner-up in the dunk contest last season."

"And I think McGee is pretty good, too."

Durant expressed his opinion, leaving behind the fact that he only scored 6 points in the three-point contest just now.

But Qin Feng knew that he would not forget his performance of pulling his hips, he just hid it in his heart, and he would prove himself again when his strength became stronger.

"Gamble?"

Qin Feng grinned and said with a smile.

It is absolutely stupid to dare to argue about this kind of issue with a traveler who has a God's perspective.

"Just take a gamble! I believe that you have a unique eye for people, but I don't believe that you can even analyze the situation of this slam dunk contest very accurately!"

Durant gritted his teeth and said, feeling a little unbelieving.

"Buy it now! $50!"

Qin Feng said that he originally wanted 100 million US dollars, but considering that Durant has paid a bit more in money recently, it was less than half.

"Okay! Just $50."

Durant readily agreed.

For a superstar signed with a five-year max salary of $5 million, $9000 is just sprinkles.

Qin Feng smiled.

He got $50 for nothing, which made his already good mood even better.

He remembers it clearly.

This slam dunk contest is also a very classic one in NBA history, and it is full of controversy.

Some media said that there is an inside story in this slam dunk contest. DeRozan or McGee are better than Griffin in terms of creativity and difficulty in dunking.

But Griffin finally won the slam dunk contest by virtue of his slam dunk over the car.

Ideas for his last dunk move.

Journalists and some basketball pundits prefer to call it an ad...

In addition, this year's All-Star is in the Staples superstar in Los Angeles, which can be regarded as Griffin's home court.

So... the circumstances of this slam dunk contest are full of conspiracy theories.

Whether there is an inside story or not, Qin Feng doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to care about it. He just remembers that the championship belongs to Griffin.

The two are chatting.

Drozan appeared.

He also appeared on the stage at the same time as a Raptors teammate.

The player took his designated spot and slammed the ball against the side of the backboard at DeRozan's command.

DeRozan ran to the penalty area and jumped up high. After receiving the basketball in the air, he made a complicated movement of changing hands under the crotch, and then wanted to dunk the basketball into the basket!

It's a pity that the difficulty is a bit high. DeRozan didn't grasp the timing and height well. By the time he completed the crotch change, his body had already started to fall, and he had no chance of dunking.

Whoa whoa whoa!

There was an uproar at the scene, some were surprised by the difficulty of DeRozan's dunk, and some regretted that DeRozan failed to dunk.

In any case, the audience still burst into applause and gave DeRozan support.

Durant stood on the sidelines and exclaimed:

"It's such a good creative move! It's a pity that the difficulty is too high. DeRozan has to do his best to complete it, and he can't make any mistakes!"

"As long as there is a mistake in timing or height, then this dunk will definitely fail."

"However, if you, Qin, complete this slam dunk, I believe it will be easy."

Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Durant, and said in his heart:

Isn't this just nonsense?
