Legend of Tomorrow

? The most important thing for Star Weekend players to become famous is not their strength, but gimmicks and entertaining the public. Guo Xu knows this very well.

Xiaosi is usually a very serious person, but now Guo Xu's style has led him astray. This is of great benefit to Stoudemire, and his popularity will definitely skyrocket after this dunk contest. Although Stoudemire's statistics are beautiful this year, he is not popular enough and can only be substituted.

Next year, he may be able to compete with Yao Ming for the starting spot. Back then, Howard once became the ticket king of the All-Star Game with his Superman dunk.

According to the rules of the four-to-two competition, the final was started between Josh Smith and Stoudemire.

Josh, who appeared first, also started to play gimmicks. He put on the Human Movie Essence, the No. 21 jersey of retired Eagles star Dominic Wilkins.

He broke into the basket from the right and performed Wilkins' signature windmill dunk! The advantage of this action is the height in the air, his head is almost above the basket.

If it is a comparison of jumping height, Stoudemire is definitely not as good as Josh. In addition to paying tribute to his predecessors, the judges gave another 50 full points.

Outside the court, Guo Xu called Stoudemire to his side and encouraged him: Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter if you make one or two mistakes. As long as you make a dunk, you will definitely win. Today this is about our home court.

Understood. Stoudemire nodded, determined to make a difficult dunk, and would not change his movements even if he made a mistake.

This is the experience of the dunk contest. Stoudemire has seen every dunk contest. Once the players lower the difficulty, it's all over.

When Stoudemire came on the scene, his action was to slide down the baseline and run to the basket, then change his hands to catch the ball and dunk. He completed it twice and dunked in with his right hand. The judges gave him a full score of 50.

Josh's salute to the big windmill was given full marks, but Stoudemire's move was much more difficult. It is unreasonable for the judges not to give full marks.

Moreover, Stoudemire's last dunk was full of gimmicks. Almost everyone wanted to see him win the championship, which gave him a lot of psychological points.

It was Josh's turn to perform again. This time he used his ultimate move, a 360-degree counterclockwise left-hand lever dunk, which was very similar to Carter's famous dunk in 2000.

Josh scored another 50 full points with his difficult moves, bringing the total score to 100 points. This means that Stoudemire must score full points for his next dunk, otherwise the championship will belong to Josh.

Stoudemire came on the scene, threw the ball high on the right side, followed it to the basket and jumped with both feet.

He bounced the ball off the backboard with his left hand, caught the ball with his right hand and dunked successfully, completing it in one go.

Stoudemire's dunk received cheers from the fans in the audience. The five judges also drew back their necks and felt incredible. This was an action that had never been seen in the dunk contest. Of course, it was a perfect score.

Just like dressing up as Superman, this was also the idea of ​​Dwight Howard in his previous life, Warcraft. Guo Xu gave Stoudemire a good idea.

Stoudemire has very strong jumping ability. His failure to win the dunk title in his previous life was mainly due to the lack of creativity that suited him. With his height, it is much more difficult to do tricks such as turning around than for a small man to dunk. This action of dunking after hitting the board is suitable for big men. It is not difficult for him and Howard to do it, but it is difficult for small players to do it. It requires height and arms. exhibition.

This year, Stoudemire copied two of Howard's moves, completely equipping the B of Warcraft, which really left the opponent with no way out.

Guo Xu also thought about asking Stoudemire to dunk three balls and perform acrobatics like McGee. Stoudemire did not practice it in the team, and the success rate was too low and he was forced to give up.

Both men scored full points for two dunks, and the host announced that the dunk contest had entered overtime for the first time in its history.

Xiao Si dunked very happily, smiling all over his face, while Josh's face turned a little ugly.

Josh is not a creative person either. He is very big, about the same size as LeBron James, and all four of his prepared ideas have been used up. Paying tribute to famous players is just a trick. His dunks from the free throw line are also very average. There are only two actions in which he is really sure to get full marks.

Josh came out first to perform and had no time to think about new moves.

He chose to throw the ball on the right side and follow up with the left-hand alley-oop, self-throw and dunk. His height in the air is still amazing, but the judges only gave it 46 points because it was not very creative. Tracy McGrady and Carter both dunked like this in the All-Star Game.

Stoudemire still has creative ideas to use, and Guo Xu comes on the court again to cooperate with him.

Stoudemire first threw the ball to the backboard from the right side. After the ball rebounded, Guo Xu hit the ball with his head on the left side and made a header. Stoudemire successfully dunked with his right hand in an alley-oop half-turn!

This move was also done by Stoudemire and Nash in the previous life, but it was Stoudemire who came up with it. The judges gave him a perfect score of 50, and he was successfully crowned the dunk king.

After the result came out, Stoudemire was so excited that he and Guo Xu jumped up and bumped their chests to celebrate. Guo Xu deliberately lost his balance and fell to the street, causing all the fans in the audience to laugh.

Barkley lamented: The Suns now have two dunk champions. Jason can even show off his celebrations. This time the All-Stars belong to the Suns. I am also optimistic that the Suns players will win the MVP in tomorrow's game. Four of them are here. , The cooperation must be very tacit.

Kenny Smith said: Guo Xu only needs to win one more All-Star Game MVP to tie Jordan. I think it will not be difficult for him to surpass Bob Pettit, who has four All-Star Game MVPs in the future. His career has just begun. Woolen cloth.

When giving his acceptance speech, Stoudemire happily said: I want to thank Jason. He came up with two of the dunk ideas. Without him, I would not have been able to drag the game into overtime and win.

The reporter asked: You are selected as the All-Star for the first time. Are you ready to dunk a few more baskets tomorrow?

Of course, with Jason here, we are the best team in pick-and-roll situations. Stoudemire said with a smile.

In fact, when they came, they had already agreed that the stars would mainly score from outside in the main game. O'Neal became the starter in the Eastern Conference, and the defense in the penalty area would be very strong. Stoudemire would not be able to easily get to the basket and dunk.

Guo Xu analyzed that shooting three-pointers is the way to go in this All-Star Game, and Stoudemire's task is to provide outside coverage. Guo Xu knows O'Neal very well. It is impossible for him to defend the pick-and-roll in the All-Star Game.

During tomorrow's training, Guo Xu plans to discuss with Yao Ming and ask Yao Ming to pull him outside the three-point line to help him cover. That would be great. Yao Ming's size can definitely block people.

And he believes that Yao Ming will be willing to do this. Yao Ming has never wanted to compete for MVP, and teammate Tracy McGrady rarely uses pick-and-roll tactics.

In addition to pick-and-roll tactics, Guo Xu can also directly hold the ball and beat Iverson in singles. He doesn't care about the opponent's defensive attitude. His goal tomorrow is to compete for MVP again. He likes any honor, the more the merrier.

Megan Fox did not come to Denver, and Guo Xu had nowhere to use his strength. He will play at his best. The coach of the Western Conference is the Spurs' top coach, and he will definitely give Guo Xu enough playing time.

This is an unspoken rule of the All-Star Game. For the sake of ratings, the most popular stars must play for more than 25 minutes. The coaches of the All-Star Game are actually here to make soy sauce. They only need to allocate the players' playing time and act as replacements.

There is also an unspoken rule of the All-Stars. Regardless of the East or the West, the stars of the host country will play first. The players will consciously feed the stars of the host country. As long as the host country is determined to win AMVP, the teammates will become adults. If the host country doesn't care much about AMVP, teammates will usually use knives and guns to do it, and whoever grabs it will get it.

In this era, the final quarter of an All-Star game is often intense. If you don't steal the honor, others may steal it, and the stars will not be polite.

This year, no one from the Nuggets was selected for the main game. The two teams must be playing casually. Guo Xu has the biggest advantage with the three younger brothers from the Suns. He feels that he is a sure winner in winning the award...
