Chapter 602 A Better Slam Dunk Contest(1/2)
There are 2 rounds of the preliminaries of the slam dunk contest, and the two people with the highest score can advance to the finals.[((
So far, Shuai Tang and Lavin have both ranked in the top two with full marks, followed by Gordon and Warren.
It's normal to just look at the rankings, but if you look at the scores, you may be shocked.
It is indeed as Barkley said, this is not necessarily the highest dunk contest, but it must be a better dunk contest than last year.
After the player's brief rookie, the second round of dunks began quickly.
The second round of dunks is still the same as in the first round, and Warren is the first to play.
Warren's appearance immediately attracted the audience's cheers.
After successfully completing the stunning first dunk, Warren has attracted respect for himself on this venue.
He was still standing on the left side of the basket and took two deep breaths in a row before starting.
Among the four people, he should be the most stressed, whether it is before the first round or the first round.
Now he has reached a desperate situation. If he can't get a high score in this deduction, he will be the first person to be eliminated.
The scene was silent.
Warren took the last look at the basket, rushed toward the basket with the ball.
This time, there was no assistant, he was preparing to complete the dunk alone.
When he was more than one meter away from the basket, he jumped suddenly, covered his eyes with his left hand, and turned 180 degrees in the air, and then turned his right hand and pressed the ball towards the basket.
"Bang!"
Success once!
The moment the ball entered, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out on the scene.
After the dunk was completed, Warren was also quite excited, facing the audience, shouting wildly.
The difficulty of this ball was to cover your eyes with your hands, and then the right hand counter-dunk was not less difficult than the first ball, but this time he completed it at one time.
"I...I don't know how to describe this dunk contest anymore. TJ showed us his ability, perfect." Barkley said with his hands spread.
The sidelines quickly gave scores.
5o points!
The third full score in this game!
The moment he saw the score, Warren jumped up suddenly, shouting and screaming at the audience, looking extremely excited, and under heavy pressure, he did his best.
"Oh huh." Gordon looked surprised. Warren's dunk this round was perfect. The originally clear situation suddenly became confusing. Anyone behind him made a little mistake, he would be eliminated immediately.
"Come on." Tang Shuai said to Gordon, and then walked to the field.
Gordon nodded, then took the ball and walked to the basket.
Before the fans could recover from Warren's shocking dunk, they saw Tang Shuai and Gordon appear together, and a look of confusion flashed in their eyes.
When they saw Gordon taking the ball and walking towards the basket, they showed a sudden enlightenment.
But some people are still puzzled. Gordon and Tang Shuai are competitors, so why is Tang Shuai looking for an assistant?
Gordon got to the basket, held the ball high above his head with both hands, and buried his head inside.
Tang Shuai took a deep breath, then took out the black belt.
As soon as this action came out, the scene was in full swing.
Tang Shuai...is he trying to dunk blindfold again, and he doesn't hold the ball?!
Is this really crazy?
"Are you sure? Are you sure you want to do this? This is really impossible. God, this is impossible!" Barkley was shocked this time.
The ball in front is difficult, blindfolded 36o° dunk, but it is not impossible. After all, the ball is in your own hands, and it is still a certain probability of success when you rely on it to find the right position of the basket. But now, the ball is not in your own hands. Don’t talk about what action you do, but you just run over and you can’t control when you get the ball!
Not to mention dunking, if you can get the ball, that is absolutely lucky.
Such a dunk is no longer difficult to describe. Just as Barkley said, this is an impossible dunk at all!
Instead of tied up a black belt immediately, Tang Shuai took the ball and waved upwards at the audience.
The cheers at the scene suddenly exploded. Whether it was successful or not, Tang Shuai's courage to challenge had already made everyone feel crazy.
This kind of attempt is just like hitting James when defending, and it requires great courage.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Tang Shuai turned his head to look at the position of Gordon, and then he used a black belt to tie his eyes.
The scene soon became quiet, and more than 20,000 pairs of eyes were looking at Tang Shuai in unison.
Tang Shuai took a deep breath, then rushed directly to the basket with the ball.
Compared to the last ball, he significantly accelerated the degree this time, and it was obvious that his jumping height this time would be higher than before.
This is actually normal. Gordon was standing in the three-second zone, and Tang Shuai started from the top of the arc again. This was obviously a dunk from a different person.
Tang Shuai rushed forward, his ears erected. After hearing Gordon's command to "jump", he jumped suddenly at night, his feet spread apart and directly crossed Gordon's head, and then grabbed it with the memory in his mind.
This catch brought the ball from Gordon.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar. They watched Tang Shuai twitch blindfold, and then they grabbed the ball in their hands, with an expression of shock in their eyes.
How did this be done?
Before they could come back to their senses, Tang Shuai had already taken the ball, and then relaxed his crotch. Amid the fans' amazement, he then completed a hand-changing dunk under his crotch.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the dunk was completed in one go, and the position was completely correct.
The scene was followed by deafening cheers, and the fans roared wildly, and many young fans even waved their fists into the air.
"Don is the champion! Don is the champion!" Barkley couldn't help but shout.
Compared with this goal, Warren's goal just now was simply a pediatrician.
After Tang Shuai landed, he took off his black belt, turned around and slapped Gordon hard, and then waved his fists twice at the audience.
The cheers from the audience even more.
The visual impact of this ball is absolutely explosive, but those who watch it don’t know that Tang Shuai and Gordon still have some cooperation.
Tang Shuai is not a god, so of course he cannot find the jump position based on his memory. After all, this is a technical job. You can't catch the ball if you are slower or faster. The reason why Gordon held the ball and lowered his head seemed to lower the height was actually to remind Tang Shuai to take off.
This is the key to completing this dunk, but fans can't see it, so in the eyes, it's almost impossible to dunk, and the visual shock brought by it is definitely at the earthquake level.
After scoring on the sidelines, Tang Shuai once again scored 5o points without any suspense, and accumulated 1o points in two rounds, and he had advanced to the finals ahead of schedule.
Curry, Paul, and Kobe all came over to congratulate him. As a yellow man, Shuai Tang absolutely subverted everyone's understanding.
After Tang Shuai is Gordon, Gordon has no assistant this time.
He chose a double folding dunk, one big and one small, which was very difficult and viewing. However, it may be that Warren and Tang Shuai put too much pressure, so he didn't complete it until the third time.
After deducting, he shook his head in frustration.
Tang Shuai walked over to comfort him.
The sidelines then scored 47 points.
As soon as the score came out, Gordon was stunned at first. Obviously, the score was higher than he expected. When he thought about it, he suddenly laughed.
Tang Shuai looked at him, and then laughed out loud.
Warren deducted 45 points in the first round and 50 points in the second round, which combined was 95 points.
Gordon deducted 48 points in the first round and 47 points in the second round. Although there were no full points, it also added 95 points!
Fans realized this score and soon started to talk about it.
The same score with non-full scores is very rare in the dunk contest, which means that if LaVine deducts the score in the second round greater than 45 points, he will directly advance to the finals and compete with Tang Shuai for the final championship, but if he is below 45 points, Gordon will usher in overtime with Warren.
This dunk contest is really unprecedented.
Now all the pressure is concentrated on Gordon. As the defending champion, his final pressure is quite large.
He also took a deep breath, and a look of nervousness finally appeared on his calm face.
This time he also found an assistant, Rubio, who is also a teammate.
Rubio took the ball and stood on the right side of the free throw line.
Gordon walked straight to a place two meters away from the three-point line.
Seeing this action, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out on the scene. Last year, LaVin cooperated with his assistant to complete a buckle from a big windmill, and then scored a full score of 50 points.
Standing in the same position this year, I don’t know what amazing dunk he is going to complete.
Laven took a deep breath and nodded to Rubio's direction.
After getting Rubio's instructions, he slowly ran forward, getting faster and faster, and jumped up suddenly when the free throw line.
Before he took off, Rubio swung the ball to his hand.
Laven grabbed the ball passed by Rubio with his right hand, and then suddenly loosened it under his crotch.
