NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 147 The inheritance of nine points

The jury cast a hot gaze towards the court!

Jordan stared at Nash and Wang Song who were practicing the second round of movements, thinking.

If you ask which pair of combinations is the most popular this season, the first answer of almost all fans will not be OK, which is facing a breakup, but the new pair of Knicks.

Especially on the basis of Nash just winning the three-point contest championship, and then playing with Wang Song, even Jordan can’t help showing envy and jealousy.

Not to mention that after the first dunk, Wang Song has become a strong contender for the dunk contest championship.

Jordan recalled the name he wrote before sitting in front of the jury, and felt a little uneasy: Is he really going to give away 600,000 US dollars in Los Angeles today?

On the court.

Jason Richardson looked very calm, but in fact, his eyes when he looked at Wang Song changed slightly.

Putting aside other things, this Asian boy has already refreshed all of Richardson’s moves in the past three years in terms of innovation.

Especially Wang Song’s second dunk in the preliminaries, Richardson has never heard of it.

The Knicks rookie actually tried to pass the ball through Nash’s feet to help him complete this fancy dunk.

Not to mention that each action has only one chance of failure, just this kind of big heart that gives most of the chance of success to teammates, the double champion is ashamed.

After a short trial, the last dunk of the dunk contest kicked off.

Nash understood what he had to do, which was actually very simple. He just needed to throw the ball near the basket with his feet. This might be difficult for other NBA players, but for Nash, who came from a football family, the error rate was about 0.

“Okay, warm-up is back. Our Knicks rookie is about to do his second dunk. You can see that he just practiced on the court. This move seems to be a very novel move for Wang Song. Let’s wait and see if he can complete this new move on the spot.”

The commentary booth also began to warm up for the last dunk of the preliminaries.

In the stands, fans were eager to try with their 10-point number plates.

On the court, Nash first showed off a fancy dribbling, then dived slightly towards the basket, sandwiched the ball between his feet and threw it forward.

“Rainbow pass!”

“Nash moved the things on the football field to the basketball court, but this ball… seems to be a little high?”

With Nash’s dribbling action on the court, the basketball was directly lifted up to a height almost level with the frame.

Just when the commentator thought that the ball failed to be thrown high and was about to encourage the cooperation of the two players on the court, a yellow lightning suddenly came out.

He took off directly from the free throw line on the right side, caught the ball with a long arm, and then slammed the ball into the basket at the moment when his body floated to the left side and was about to fall.

The scene was silent for a while.

Like the first goal, it happened too fast and many fans could not see it clearly.

It was not until half a while later that the commentator roared with a little hoarseness: “Fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea! This is a one-handed slam dunk in the style of fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea!”

And at this moment.

The big screen above the head also began to replay the slam dunk in slow motion, allowing fans to feel this shocking slam dunk again.

This artistic pass and the violent slam dunk in the style of fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea with one hand formed a strong contrast.

The jury almost instantly gave 10 points.

“He was born for the dunk contest!” — Dr. J Julius Irving

“I have never seen a big man who can dunk better than him. How does he maintain such amazing coordination at this height? I will definitely learn from him after the dunk contest is over.” — Dominique Wilkins

“To be honest, if Wang Song also participated in the dunk contest in 1997, these two dunks would help him win my championship.” — Kobe Bryant

In front of the camera, the judges of the jury expressed their personal opinions on the two dunks, and all kinds of exaggerated expressions appeared on the faces of these former dunk contest champions.

Only the old rogue was still pretending, holding a 9-point sign in his hand, which looked out of place: “As an Asian, he has the greatness of Asians, he deserves 9 points!”

On the court

Nash jumped up and bumped shoulders with Wang Song to celebrate, but looking at the scoreboard with Jordan’s 9 points, Nash couldn’t help but ask: “Wang, have you ever offended that guy?”

Wang Song, who was still immersed in his successful dunk, didn’t notice the jury’s scoring at all. After Nash pointed it out, he looked over and said, “Wow!”

9 points turned out to be a tradition?

The inheritance from the No. 1 shooting guard in history!

But when Wang Song stared at Kobe holding 10 points and showing his big white teeth to him, he couldn’t help but think.

What kind of inheritance is this?

Fortunately, the dunk contest is not a one-man show by Jordan. The 99 points are enough for Wang Song to sweep all opponents and enter the finals.

When the scores and rankings appeared on the big screen, the fans in the stands couldn’t help but celebrate.

“Scarlett, I said your ideal husband is good, 99 points, my God, this is close to a perfect score!”

“Sister… didn’t you just say that you are optimistic about the double champion Richardson?”

Angelina put her hands on her hips and puffed up her cheeks: “What’s wrong, you don’t allow me to support your little boyfriend?”

Scarlett, who was young and naive, still lost, but she was happy to see Wang Song enter the finals with the first place.

Not far away in the front row.

Bird also showed a surprised smile.

Choosing Wang Song was purely a man’s sixth sense, but the Asian boy’s wonderful performance in the preliminary round was still a little unexpected.

Bird was Jordan’s lifelong enemy when he was a player. He didn’t expect that he could get benefits from Jordan after retirement. When he thought about Jordan giving him 600,000 yuan with a sad face after the dunk contest, Bird felt extremely happy.

600,000 yuan!

This number is nothing to Jordan, but the most direct manifestation of this era in 2004 is that it can pay the salaries of most first-round picks.

Final round.

Pressure is given to Wang Song’s opponents Jason Richardson and Fred Jones!

As the lowest scorer in the previous round, Fred Jones, a rookie in 2002, took the lead in completing the performance.

He showed his own unique skills. The first dunk was to bounce the ball off the ground and then stretch his abdomen in the air to violently abuse the frame, scoring 50 points in one fell swoop.

This was also his first 50 points in his dunk contest career. Perhaps he was aroused, and he wanted to try a more difficult dunk in the second dunk, but after several failures, he completed a mediocre folding dunk to maintain his score.

Even so, he got a total of 86 points with a full score in the first round.

The dunk contest is not about who participates more, who has a greater advantage.

Quite the opposite.

The newer the contestant, the more new ideas they have, and the fans and judges will not be aesthetically fatigued.

So when the game entered the finals, the double champion Richardson was under the greatest pressure.
