Time flies, and a week passed in a blink of an eye.

All teams have ended their pre-Star Games one after another.

The Pelicans continued to expand their winning streak, achieving an incredible record of 57 wins and 1 loss before the All-Star Game, and topped the league.

The Cavaliers also achieved an excellent record of 50 wins and 8 losses, second only to the Pelicans.

In this way, the head coaches from the East and West, or this year, who are called James and Tang Tian, ​​have been confirmed.

The head coach of James will be Tyron Lue, while the head coach of Tang Tian is Stevens.

What's interesting is that the two are also the head coaches of their respective captains.

This also makes fans look forward to the next All-Star Game.

Whether it is the favored James team that wins as they wish, or whether Tang Tian team creates surprises, is all exciting.

Time comes on February 17th, and the 2018 NBA All-Star Game kicks off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

This is also the third time that NBA has held an All-Star Game here since 2004 and 2011.

The Lakers and the Clippers are now rebuilding their own, and the All-Star Game is a rare event for Los Angeles fans.

Fans are very motivated to participate in the event this year.

This can be seen from the attendance rate of the Celebrity and Rookie Tournament on the first day.

You should know that these two events are essentially hot fields.

When the second day of the individual event was full, the Staples Center was even more attendance.

Not only the seats, but also the aisle and the second floor fence were filled with fans.

Do they know that there is a dunk contest that is not inferior to the main game today, and those who can enter it all cost a lot of money and effort.

The skill challenge that started first was divided into large and small groups as before.

This year's small group finally ended the dominance of the big group, with Louis Williams finally defeating Markcanen to win the final championship.

Brogden performed well yesterday and won the rookie MVP, but lost to Williams in the semifinals today, which is a bit regrettable.

After the skills competition, the three-point competition followed.

The Bulls' Devin Booker performed well, and he eventually defeated the Mavericks' Harris and the most popular Klay Thompson to win the three-point championship.

This result also made fans talk about the No. 13 shooting guard again on the hotline.

However, this meme didn't last long, because what was about to start is also the last and most popular individual competition today is about to begin.

When Carter, Gordon, Lavender and Tang Tian appeared one after another, the Staples Center could no longer stop the cheers.

I had already climaxed before I even started.

The on-site reaction gave the best interpretation of this sentence.

"Finally, the dunk contest we are most looking forward to has finally come."

In the commentary seat, TNT's Barkley and Smith plus ESPN's Miller and Bryn are ready.

Barkley finally expressed his feelings for everyone using three consecutive days.

"I don't know how many full-point dunks will appear tonight, but I believe it will be the one I've ever met."

Bolling echoed.

It can be felt from words that the media people are also looking forward to this year's slam dunk contest.

In the judges not far away, these legendary dunks will be invited to the scene as the competition judges.

O'Neal, who was supposed to be sitting in the commentary seat, was also in the judges' seat.

It is said that this is O'Neal's own strong request.

And there is something different from the past two years.

Because the system of relying solely on fans' selection is not so popular, this year's competition system has been changed to be scored by judges again, including preliminaries and finals.

This change has also been warmly welcomed by fans.

After entering the court, Tang Tian sat on the sidelines and chatted with Butler beside him.

The order of appearances in the slam dunk contest has been decided by drawing lots before.

Carter is first, Gordon is second, LaVine is third, and Tang Tian is fourth.

Tang Tian is the last one, and this is also the best order of appearance for him.

For example, he can sit leisurely on the sidelines now and watch the other three dunks first.

The competition was about to begin. When Carter took off his training suit and started to warm up, layers of cheers were already heard at the scene.

Carter is the youth of many fans.

Now Carter is standing on the field of the slam dunk contest, just like bringing them back to their youth.

That feeling is indescribable.

Only cheers and shouts can be vented.

And what's even more rare is that Carter wore the No. 15 jersey he wore during the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest.

This definitely brings back all the memories of the fans.

Carter was ready to take the ball outside the three-point line, and the scene quickly became quiet and everyone looked at the field.

"He's coming, guys, he's coming!"

Barkley shouted excitedly in the commentary seat.

There was only his voice at the scene.

Carter rushed into the inside with the ball and took off three meters away from the basket. While jumping, his body began to rotate and the ball pulled down.

This action is so familiar to the fans, so familiar that they can't help but shout.

Turn around the windmill at 360°!

Carter's most classic slam dunk move!

It was also his dunk action that killed the game in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest!

This action came out, and the cheers of the fans at the scene were already blown up.

Although Carter dunked this move and everyone knew that many players also reproduced this move in the dunk competition.

But I have to say that only Carter is the most elegant, most stretched and most beautiful.

This is the action born for him!

"Vince! Vince!"

A large number of fans shouted Carter's name in unison.

This is really a sentiment.

On the judges' seat, five judges gave scores.

All 10 points.

The first dunk in this slam dunk contest is full score!

Tang Tian, ​​as an opponent, also stood up and applauded Carter.

The meaning of this dunk is greater than its difficulty, it is worth 50 points.

The second one to play was Gordon.

As the defending champion, he seems very confident.

For the first button, he chose the pull-rod back button after running at the bottom line.

When the deduction was just finished, the audience's reaction was still average.

However, in slow motion replay, it was shown that Gordon pulled the ball back to the back of his head and then to the soles of his feet.

It is equivalent to pulling the ball in the air three times, showing the ability to stagnate the air.

Moreover, the contrast between the beast-like body and light movements has a great visual impact.

However, after the final score, the judges only gave a total score of 48 points.

It can be seen that the four major dunk kings compete on the same stage. Except for Carter's first dunk, they are very cautious in giving other dunks.

The third one to appear was LaVine, who chose to throw the ball from the bottom line for his first dunk, and then took the ball and changed hands behind his back.

This move is very difficult, but Lavender completed it very easily.

Not only is it the visual impact effect brought by the dunk, but LaVine's calm expression after deducting it is also a bonus.

The judges were not stingy with such dunks and gave the second 50 points in this dunk contest.

Although the scoring standards are already stricter than ordinary dunk contests, 3 dunks still show 2 full points.

The level of this dunk contest is really unparalleled.

At this time, the three of them were deducted, and only the last Tang Tian was left.

When he got up, the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.
Chapter completed!
