Chapter 311 Slam Dunk Contest
"Welcome everyone to the All-Star stage, and it's time for the exciting slam dunk contest!"
The slam dunk contest is about to start, and the ratings of the major TV stations are also rising at this time.
If it rises, it depends on whether the audience can be retained.
TNT TV station, in order to carry out the live broadcast of this year's All-Star game, they have also made new preparations.
In addition to sending out the ace combination of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, they also invited new partners.
Dominique Wilkins, nicknamed the essence of human movies, is famous all over the world for his various dunks.
He is also the first NBA star famous for dunking.
Of course, the premise is the star, and then all kinds of flying dunks can be shocking.
There are many such people.
This is true from Dominic Wilkins, to Vince Carter, and later to Zach Laven.
Slam Dunk is a plus for them as star players.
As for the pure dunk king, such as last year's Desmond Mason, and Nate Robinson.
They are also dunk kings, but their reputation is mediocre.
The reason is very simple. After all, the All-Star game is just an entertainment game. Fans are happy to watch it, but it is still the stars.
If in daily games, you can't even play steadily, then you have no chance to dunk!
"Okay, both of you, let's talk about this time's slam dunk contest lineup, whose performance you are most looking forward to."
"king!"
"Of course the king!"
Wilkins and Barkley called out Wang Hao's name in unison. They had no choice but to choose this way.
Compared to Desmond Mason, Steve Francis, and rookie Jason Richardson.
Wang Hao is really too big.
Even though Francis has also become an All-Star this season, he can't be compared to Wang Hao.
"why?"
Dominique Wilkins said: "To be honest, I was surprised that the first Asian in NBA history participated in the dunk contest.
We already have black slam dunk champions and white slam dunk champions, so can we have Asians?
Wang's teammate, Brent Barry was lucky enough to win the Slam Dunk Contest. Can Wang be so lucky? "
This is for a black man like Wilkins. If someone else says it, there may be another wave of political correctness.
It's just that, what this guy said meant the same thing as what he said.
The slam dunk contest is the territory of black people, so white people and yellow people have no chance at all.
It's just that Wilkins is still clear-headed, and his words are not so extreme.
"Charles, what about you?"
On the other side, Barkley also said: "To be honest, I am shocked that Wang has the guts to participate in the dunk contest?
He thought the slam dunk contest was the same as the three-point contest, just shoot casually?
I think it's terrible for Wang to participate in the slam dunk contest, he will be scared stupid by Mason and Steve. "
Kenny Smith smiled and said, "Charles, aren't you a fan of Wang? Are you so unconfident in him?"
Charles Barkley said without changing his face: "Of course, I am a fan of Wang, there is no doubt about it.
If it is a three-point contest, or a normal game, of course I support him unconditionally.
But this is the slam dunk contest. Although I am a fan of Wang, I am also a fair person.
To be honest, I can't say without conscience, Wang can win the slam dunk contest, I can't do it! "
Hearing Charles Barkley speak so eloquently, Wilkins was a little dumbfounded, so shameless?
Wang Hao's fan?You can say that too!
Who doesn't know that you are Wang Hao's two biggest black fans, how dare you say such a thing?
"Wang Hao from the Seattle Supersonics!"
As the host's voice sounded, all four players in the slam dunk contest appeared in the center of the arena.
It's just that, compared to the applause received by the first three, when Wang Hao came out, there were boos again.
Well, there was indeed applause just now, but that was an exception.
In the three-point contest, the miracle of scoring 25 goals in a row made people want to applaud.
But after the cheers, the Philadelphia fans also realized that this is an opponent, and they must be booed.
However, Wang Hao received a lot of applause, especially around the arena.
Gary Payton, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki...
All the Western All-Star teammates were all applauding for Wang Hao at this time, looking very excited.
In their opinion, at least Wang Hao is very courageous.
As for O'Neill, he was already holding a handheld DV at this time, and he was constantly shooting there.
"Gary, how was Wang's dunk?"
Hearing such inquiries, people around looked at Gary Payton unconsciously. After all, he and Wang Hao were teammates.
For this problem, Gary Payton is also very helpless.
It's not that he hasn't seen Wang Hao's dunk, he has seen it in training and even in games.
However, there are not many of them.
In most cases, it is after a steal, or a fast break dunk.
As for very explosive dunks, there are not none, and Wang Hao has also done dunks across people.
And the dunk, to put it bluntly, is to see who can jump higher.
This not only includes bouncing, but also has something to do with height. The higher you jump, the more difficult you can do.
Even, in terms of touch height, Wang Hao is definitely the player with the highest touch height in the Sonics team.
The higher you jump, the more exciting the dunk is.
It's just that Wang Hao is not a black player after all, and he doesn't have that kind of explosive power.
Explosive power is actually the most important factor for a wonderful dunk.
Moreover, Wang Hao is not the Golden State dunk king after all, he does not have a deep obsession with dunking.
If you can deduct it, you can deduct it, and if you can't deduct it, you can vote. It's not two points anyway.
Others can doubt Wang Hao, but Gary Payton can't. After all, he is a teammate, so he must support him.
"Of course, don't look at Wang's shooting is very precise, in fact, his physical talent is also very good.
Especially in jumping, he is definitely the highest jumper in the Sonics team, and dunking is also a breeze. "
As he spoke, Gary Payton unconsciously turned his mouth up. In fact, he didn't know very well.
He asked Wang Hao, Wang Hao did prepare dunk moves specially, and also practiced.
It's just that he didn't see it, and he wasn't sure what was going on.
After a simple drawing ceremony, the game officially started, and Wang Hao was the first to appear.
To be the first to play, to be honest, the pressure is still a bit.
Wang Hao was not in a hurry, and played in a leisurely manner. After getting used to basketball, he walked to the backcourt.
He went to the judges' seat first, and greeted several judges, after all, they would be the ones to score later.
He doesn't want to encounter Wade's situation.
Speaking of which, this year's judges are quite interesting. Apart from the celebrities of the older generation, there is actually a fan.
In addition to the fans, the other four are Iceman George Gervin and the famous star Maurice Lucas.
In addition to these two, Dr. J, Julius Erwin and Darryl Dawkins also appeared on the judging panel.
These two are the stars of the digital team.
Looking at Julius Erving, Wang Hao said in particular: "Julius, I will imitate your dunk later."
That's right, Wang Hao's first dunk was naturally a jump from the free throw line, but a small change was made.
Not only him, but Earl Watson also appeared together. That's right, Earl Watson is here to help Wang Hao pass the ball.
As for why he didn't find Gary Payton, the main reason is that this guy had something to do at home a few days ago and didn't have time to practice.
That's right, Wang Hao's first slam dunk was actually an alley-oop dunk by imitating Zach LaVine's free throw line.
This action is a test of the passer's ability.
When Gary Payton had no time to practice, Wang Hao had no choice but to find Earl Watson, whose passing was also very good.
After halftime, Wang Hao looked at Earl Watson until he signaled that he was ready.
The dunk officially began.
Wang Hao started to speed up, and at the same time he was constantly adjusting his pace, but when he got closer to the three-point line, his speed accelerated again.
At this time, Earl Watson had already thrown the ball out and threw it into the middle of the air.
The sole of his left foot was firmly on the free throw line, and at the same time, Wang Hao suddenly jumped high.
Running at high speed, after he jumped up, he also rushed towards the basket at high speed.
And at this time, the basketball just flew into the air and fell into Wang Hao's hands very appropriately.
After slightly stabilizing the basketball with both hands, he grasped the basketball with his right hand, stretched his body with all his strength, and threw it towards the basketball.
To be honest, at this time, Wang Hao is already falling rapidly. After all, not everyone is called Jordan.
However, at this time, the advantages of Wang Hao's height and wingspan are reflected.
"basket!"
Although it was a bit reluctant, Wang Hao still smashed the ball towards the basket, and his fingers touched the ring.
"boom!"
The moment the basketball smashed into the basket, it suddenly became lively and the noise continued.
"My God, how is this possible?"
"What did I see? Alley oops from the free throw line!"
"Is Wang paying tribute to Julius? He has surpassed Julius' dunk."
……
The current host is already a little incoherent while not saying anything. I don't know what to say?
It's not just the host, but the scene is normal.
The fans at the scene exclaimed loudly, and the players around the field were also shocked.
O'Neill rushed up with a hand-held DV at the first time, and shot wildly at Wang Hao.
And in the judges' seat, Dr. J, who was calm at first, stood up from the judges' seat and applauded.
As for the other four judges, they couldn't wait to take out their scoring cards and gave them 10 points.
After Wang Hao left the field, he did not forget to shake hands with his three competitors in a friendly manner.
It's just that, looking at the dejected expressions of the three of them, those who didn't know thought the game was over.
Sure enough, after a brief scoring, the result was given on the spot, and Wang Hao scored 50 points for his first dunk.
Now, the pressure is on the remaining three participating players.
Second out was Desmond Mason, who missed his first dunk.
I don't know if it's because of the stress.
A big windmill dunk on the face frame, to be honest, it was not too difficult, but the dunk unexpectedly flew.
In today's slam dunk contest rules, there is no such thing as trying a second time. If the dunk flies, it's gone.
However, there is a guaranteed score, which is 30 points.
No way, this action is not very difficult, and there are already countless people doing it in the slam dunk contest, so there must be no surprises.
What's more, with such a simple movement, it was buckled.
Immediately following Jason Richardson, who played second, just won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge yesterday.
His mentality is very good, a 360-degree pull-bar dunk, he dunks directly for the first time.
This dunk is somewhat similar to Carter's 2000-degree windmill dunk in the 360 dunk contest.
Of course, there are still some differences. Carter's 360-degree turn to pick up the big windmill, while Richardson has a pull rod.
In the end, the judges gave 2 10 points and 3 9 points, which is a total score of 47 points.
The last one to play was naturally Francis, this guy was very keen on the dunk contest.
It's just that from beginning to end, he failed to win the slam dunk contest.
Francis participated in the slam dunk contest and brought his teammates to help. It was his friend the old cat Mobley.
It's just that Mobley is obviously not that suitable for passing the ball. Francis didn't feel appropriate for two consecutive passes and didn't dunk.
You know, according to today's rules, there is no chance for a second dunk, and now there are already boos.
Fortunately, on the third time, Francis finally dunked in.
In the pull-bar dunk after the alley-oop, Francis fully demonstrated his jumping and staying in the air.
However, the final score was 42 points.
At the end of the first round, Wang Hao and Jason Richardson temporarily lead and have a chance to enter the final.
It was still Wang Hao who appeared first, but he was not alone.
In addition to Wang Hao, there was another bear following him. Of course, it couldn't be a real bear.
This is the Sonics mascot Scourbear.
Why not keep looking for Earl Watson?
Because Wang Hao's dunk this time is a leaping dunk, Earl Watson is too short, and the leaping is not interesting for him.
But if it was a big guy, Wang Hao was worried that he would not be able to fly, so he simply changed the team's mascot.
There is nothing special about flying and dunking, and Wang Hao would not make this choice.
According to Wang Hao's request, Shikaoxiong stood under the backboard on the right side of the basket, a little distance away, and then raised the ball over his head.
Wang Hao suddenly accelerated from outside the three-point line, came behind Shi Kaoxiong, and then jumped up high.
After catching the basketball on top of Shikao Xiong's head, Wang Hao spread his legs and flew over his head.
This is not over yet, Wang Hao, who was holding the ball with both hands, did not dunk directly, but hit the backboard first, and then back dunked!
In fact, this is not Wang Hao's original work.
In the various short videos in the future, there are actually many amateur players performing dunks.
These movements, even more difficult, they can do.
And this thing, in fact, only NBA players did it in the slam dunk contest 21 years later.
Now, Wang Hao made this dunk for the first time, so he is naturally original.
