477.The first perfect dunk(1/2)
All the staff at the technical desk were evacuated and replaced with five luxury seats. The computer was replaced with a scoring board, which is five brands from 6 to 10. There is no electronic scoring machine yet, but this kind of manual scoring
, which made Liu Mang, who has seen a lot of high technology, feel more ritualistic. Instead of seeing the scores on the LED screen coldly, this kind of scene where famous celebrities held up the scores, and the DJ used his excellent mathematical ability to add up the scores.
The announcement is even more exciting!
The referee also left the field, and the Eagles' DJ came directly to the field to act as the host.
Originally, the judges who scored the dunk contest were all retired celebrities, but this was Carter's return to the dunk contest after two years, so it was a bit special.
The essence of the human film, Dominic Wilkins, Dr. J, Julius Erving, and the first-generation pressing king Larry Bird, the three are retired celebrities, but the other two judges are not, but current veterans of the Jazz.
Postman Karl Malone and Wizards basketball god Michael Jordan!
The most luxurious judge lineup ever!
When Liu Mang saw Jordan and Ma Long walking up to the judges' table, his heart suddenly trembled!
Damn it! These two stinky old men are actually the judges!
Damn! You don’t know how to put on small shoes for me!
Liu Mang regretted a little. He would have stopped teasing them if he had known earlier. This was a good thing.
Watching Jordan and Malone smile sinisterly at him, Liu Mang felt a bit like running under the sunset. He had no regrets in his dunking career...
Draw lots, draw lots!
Among the six participating players, Liu Mang was the last to hold the drawn note in his hand.
The importance of the order of appearances in the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Contest is very different. It is different from the advantages and disadvantages of having the order of appearances in the Three-Point Contest. In the Slam Dunk Contest, everyone wants to dunk first!
This is because for the same level of ornamental dunks, the one who comes on first may get a full score, and the one who comes on later may dunk because the one who comes on first is too good and raises the judges’ expectations, and the second one who comes on will be considered a dunk.
Even if it is wonderful, it will also fall short of expectations.
Especially today, Liu Mang has two championship-level opponents in Jason Richardson and Carter. This is particularly important, and today's judges include three historical super dunkers, Irving, Wilkins, and Jordan.
Bird, a pressing player with extremely high vision, even Ma Long, is a person whose vision is higher than his head, so the first to dunk is the first to win!
A real master showdown is tense from the beginning.
Liu Mang unfolded the folded note nervously and expectantly, and there was a 3 written in the center of the note!
The third appearance!
not bad!
As long as Carter, Jason Richardson, and Richard Jefferson, who is the fourth player and is unlucky, are not the top three, it will be fine.
When Liu Mang showed his lottery to the host, he looked at the lottery that others showed to the host. Yo, Carter is sixth, the finale.
Carter didn't care at all which one he appeared on. After unfolding it, he showed it to the host without even looking at it. Then he saw that the host had taken the other people's lottery tickets in his hand first, and then he looked at it. It turned out that he was the last one to appear.
, but his expression didn’t change at all, he was still holding his mouth in his mouth.
The order of appearance is Richard Jefferson, Stoudemire, Liu Mang, Jason Richardson, Draymond Mason, and Carter.
When the lot was being drawn, the lights in the venue had dimmed, and the spotlight was on the judges' bench. Several big players were being interviewed. After the players determined their order of appearance, they all returned to the sidelines, waiting to perform.
After everything was ready, the media removed the interviewers, turned off all the lights, and then a spotlight hit the center of the stadium. The host stood next to the focus of the spotlight and picked up the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you guessed it right, the slam dunk contest that everyone is looking forward to and everyone is crazy about has begun!"
"First...we have invited the super dunker from the New Jersey Nets, Richard...Jefferson..."
During the host's specially prolonged ending, Richard Jefferson ran onto the stage.
The host gave the ball to Richard Jefferson, and now it's Richard Jefferson's show time!
The focus of the spotlight became dispersed and hit the entire right half of the judges' bench.
The All-Star Dunk Contest has officially begun!
The restless shouts at the scene began to subside, and everyone was staring at Richard Jefferson.
Liu Mang on the sidelines felt the surging excitement. All the tension, uneasiness, and tasks were forgotten. Feeling this atmosphere, Liu Mang only felt excited and excited!
Dunk is divided into preliminaries and finals. Players in each round dunk twice in this round, one person at a time in turn.
Each dunk has a chance to fail. If you fail, you can try again. But if you fail twice, you will be scored according to the failed dunk. Each judge can give a score of 6 to 10 points.
Since there are six people participating, the top three in the preliminaries will advance to the finals.
The first player to dunk in the first round, Richard Jefferson’s first dunk!
Richard Jefferson held the ball at the midline without retreating too much. He was full of confidence in his bounce! He felt that he didn't need to rush so far to accelerate!
What will the first dunk look like?
Everyone's eyes widened. The first dunk is often the easiest dunk to get a high score. Richard Jefferson has the best dunk sequence. Everyone is looking forward to this dunk!
Finally, the dunking begins!
Richard Jefferson dribbled the ball for a few seconds and began to slowly run ahead. When he ran outside the three-point line, he threw the ball toward the basket. Then, Richard Jefferson kicked back with his left foot.
, sprint with all your strength!
Richard Jefferson took a step into the free throw line, and the ball just bounced back, right above his head! Richard Jefferson's legs were like springs, and his whole body flew up, heading towards the basket.
Ejected over, he picked the ball off his head with his hand. At this time, Richard Jefferson's head was already parallel to the basket! After reaching the highest point, it began to fall! In the process, Richard Jefferson
The movement of his right hand did not stop. He pulled the rod from bottom to back, pulling the rod in a semicircle. Before landing, he swung out a semicircle and smashed the ball into the basket!
The exaggerated bullet speed and exaggerated jumping height will immediately detonate the fans who have shut down their voices!
Kidd, who was on the sidelines, also led a group of players to dance with excitement.
The visual effect of this dunk is indeed very exciting. The fans at the scene and the supporting stars on the sidelines are very excited, but...
Several judges looked at each other and then curled their lips. Obviously, this dunk did not satisfy them.
It’s not that the dunk is not good, it’s that...this was an action from 20 years ago. The action is good-looking, but it has become a dunk that many dunkers can occasionally complete in actual games. Of course, because it looks good, it is willing to do more.
People use it, but it’s so common!
Although Richard Jefferson's explosive jumping height and speed made this dunk action almost perfect, this was what Larry Nance did in the first dunk contest in 1984.
This action was only at the level of the player. Larry Nance had already achieved this action to near perfection, and Richard Jefferson was only at this level.
At that time, Larry Nance could get full marks with this move, but almost 20 years later, if he still uses this move, no matter how perfect the completion is, unfortunately, except for Irving, he was banned because of his fight with Larry Nance.
This slam dunk was given some nostalgia points, giving it a 7. The other four judges all scored 6, and the total score was only a pitiful 31 points.
Many fans at the scene made a sound of disappointment when they saw the six points and the red seven points among the green bushes.
It is true that Richard Jefferson's dunk is very beautiful, very exciting, and the visual effect is explosive, but it really cannot catch the eye of these big guys.
Moreover, even if some more ordinary judges were replaced, the score would probably be around thirty-five or sixty-five, not much higher.
Richard Jefferson returned to the bench in frustration. Only a few of their players who participated in the dunk contest were left here. The others all gathered in the VIP fan area on the other side, closer to the dunk basket. Look.
More clearly.
Richard Jefferson was a little frustrated, and the others were not much better. Such strict scoring standards set off a wake-up call for the remaining participating players, including Liu Mang. They may not necessarily think that the dunk is good, just the dunk that they think is good.
To be appreciated by this group of celebrities with extremely high vision!
"Oh oh oh oh... Richard's dunk this time was so awesome. Let's invite our second player... Amare Stoudemire..."
Relatively speaking, the easiest thing now is Amar'e Stoudemire. He didn't prepare for dunks in the finals. He only prepared two dunks in total. He was ready to show off his moves and then ducked. When he knew that Carter and Jason Richard
When Dessen was about to participate in this slam dunk contest, he never thought about winning the championship.
Seeing how harsh the judges were, Stoudemire was ready to take out his final dunk!
Although the first dunk didn't get a high score, Richard Jefferson's dunk had already ignited the audience. Although the fans valued the championship, during the game, they paid more attention to whether it looked good or not! Although Richard
-Jefferson didn't get high scores, but the fans just thought it looked good and are looking forward to the next performance even more!
Stoudemire went directly to the left side of the three-second zone. He stood there and stretched his body without running up or accelerating.
Seeing this scene, a big question mark hung over people's minds.
What is this for?
Just deduct it like this?
Stoudemire said yes, I have to dunk like this.
Amid everyone's confusion, Stoudemire faced the basket very close, swatted the ball with his right hand, bounced forward, caught the ball in the air with his left hand, and handed the ball from under his right leg.
With your right hand, turn 90 degrees to face the basket and smash the ball into the basket!
Compared with this action, Richard Jefferson's action just now can be regarded as a very difficult action. This action is just an ordinary half-turn dunk around the baseline!
but!
Different people make the same dunk, especially when outside and inside players make the same dunk, the visual effects are completely different!
If Stoudemire's ball was dunked by an outside player, he would probably be at the bottom of 30 points and not be able to escape.
but!
The person who made this move was a 2.08-meter power forward! Moreover, the movement was extremely smooth! The flexibility of his body was like that of a defender, his movements in the air were smooth and graceful, his abdomen in the air was drawn in, and after unfolding, his body moved the ball like a bow.
To be continued...
