Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

LaVine came onto the court.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and tried not to think too much and just focus on the dunk.

Just now, Zhuang Yu's slam dunk from the free throw line was so beautiful that LaVine doesn't have many options now and can only choose the free throw line.

Because apart from choosing to jump and dunk from the free throw line, no matter what tricks he plays inside the free throw line, he will only be at a disadvantage in front of Zhuang Yu's dunk just now.

So LaVine retreated directly to the backcourt. He also wanted to do a real dunk from the free throw line, and it was not as simple as just dunking the ball.

This is also a challenge for him.

"It looks like LaVine is also going to take a free throw line jump."

"That's not surprising, but I don't know if he's going to jump from outside the free throw line or from the free throw line this time..."

"It should be a real jump from the free throw line. After all, Zhuang Yu has already done two real dunks from the free throw line. If LaVine still jumps from the free throw line, even if he adds some other moves, it will definitely not be as good as Zhuang Yu's dunk."

"Well, that makes sense..."

At this point, LaVine doesn't have many choices, and fans can easily guess what he is going to do.

The next moment, Laven started to move.

He started running from the backcourt, his speed getting faster and faster, and soon he arrived outside the three-point line in the frontcourt. He stepped inside the three-point line and immediately jumped up.

Everyone stared at Raven's feet.

This time they clearly saw that LaVine's jumping foot was not on the free throw line, but was about two or three centimeters away from the free throw line.

It's not that far off the mark, but it's definitely outside the free throw line. This is truly a real dunk from the free throw line.

"it is as expected."

"With LaVine's ability, he should be able to complete the jump from the free throw line, but it's a pity that Zhuang Yu got there first..."

People were not surprised by this, but it was still shocking to see LaVine also perform a real dunk from the free throw line.

That's a real free throw line. Not to mention previous dunk contests, it has never appeared once in the entire history of the NBA's dunk contests.

But today I saw it one after another.

However, LaVine did not simply jump from the free throw line to dunk. When he jumped into the air, he raised his right foot as if he was taking a step forward. At this time, the basketball in his left hand quickly passed under his right leg and into his right hand. Then he raised his right hand and flew towards the basket.

Seeing this scene, the fans in the audience couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Fuck, it's not just a jump from the free throw line. It's a hand-over from the crotch."

“Isn’t this too difficult?”

Exclamations came and went.

In 2016, LaVine had a mid-air dunk from the free throw line, but that time he stepped inside the free throw line, so it was not a true mid-air dunk from the free throw line.

But I got full marks that time too.

This time, LaVine actually jumped from the free throw line and dunked in the air, which was much more difficult than the one in 2016.

As for the comparison with Zhuang Yu's real free throw line jump + alley-oop slam dunk just now, they are probably evenly matched and it's hard to tell which is better.

However, the next moment, when LaVine grabbed the basketball with his right hand and dunked it, he was not as easy as before because the distance was too far.

One is inside the free throw line and the other is outside the free throw line.

It looks like it's only about 30 to 40 centimeters, or 40 to 50 centimeters, which is not a lot.

But you have to know that the free throw line is 4.22 meters away from the basket. It can be said that 4 meters is a critical point. The difficulty is not the same level if it is ten centimeters far or ten centimeters close, not to mention the difference of a few dozen centimeters.

In 2016, the dunk after jumping from the free throw line and switching hands between the legs was completed relatively easily. However, now it has become a real jump from the free throw line, which requires much higher jumping ability, explosive power, body coordination, etc.

Even LaVine seemed to be struggling.

He had tried this kind of dunk when he was practicing privately, but the success rate was not high, only one or two out of 10 times.

It also depends on luck.

But this time his luck was obviously not so good.

When he flew in front of the basket, his body had already fallen. He raised the basketball high with his right hand, but it was not enough to completely pass the basket. He could only force the ball into the basket and dunk it.

Bang.

Due to the lack of height, the ball was not dunked from the bottom to the basket. Instead, it was dunked almost horizontally to the basket, and the basketball hit the top of the basket and bounced out. LaVine did not really hang on the basket, but just touched the basket with his fingers.

Seeing the basketball flying into the sky, there was an exclamation from the audience, followed by a sigh.

"Pity."

"What a shame, it almost worked."

"This dunk is really difficult. Not only does it require the dunk to fly far, but it also requires the dunk to fly high. It also requires extremely high body control, coordination, and even height and wingspan. Compared to Zhuang Yu, LaVine is still a bit disadvantaged in height and wingspan, otherwise this dunk should have been successful."

The fans all felt sorry for the failed dunk. It would have been great if such a beautiful dunk had been completed.

It's just a pity that LaVine failed.

Some fans felt sorry for LaVine; some fans were relieved for Zhuang Yu, because LaVine's failed dunk basically meant that he lost the championship; and some people were still reluctant to leave, they hoped that LaVine's dunk would be successful, and then Zhuang Yu and LaVine would continue to play overtime.

They didn't want such an exciting dunk contest to end so early.

"Damn it."

LaVine looked unhappy and cursed in frustration. He knew that if he missed the dunk, he would basically lose the championship.

But he picked up the basketball again and retreated to the backcourt again.

The rules of the dunk contest are that each player has three chances to dunk in each round. If a player fails in the first dunk, he or she can try the second and third times. However, as the dunking moves and difficulty remain the same, the judges will deduct some points when scoring.

In fact, many players will reduce the difficulty when they fail to complete the first dunk to avoid failure in the second attempt.

It would be embarrassing if you try to dunk reluctantly and fail three times in a row.

Instead of that, why not try a simpler action?

However, LaVine did not want to compromise.

He had already lost the dunk contest to Zhuang Yu, but he didn't want to lose to himself because he had failed in his previous attempt.

But if he wanted to try it again, he had to perfect this dunk.

Now that the overall situation had been decided, Laven let go of his worries and tension, and felt a lot more relaxed.

He took a deep breath and started to move, still running all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt as before, then stepped one foot into the three-point line, with his toes landing a little bit in front of the free throw line, not much, but it was definitely outside the free throw line.

Then, he was seen flying up, flying in the air just like before, putting the ball from his left hand under his crotch to his right hand, then raising his right hand and dunking towards the basket.
