The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 250 [The Most Creative Dunk Contest]

As soon as Ye Feng arrived in Dallas, reporters rushed to interview him. He was also selected as an All-Star last season, but he was absent due to injury. This was his first time participating in the All-Star Game. The reporters all wanted to hear him talk. impressions.

Ye Feng made preparations in advance and talked nonsense.

The hotel rested for one night, and the stars participated in the NBA Cares Action together and acted as volunteers at specific locations in Dallas. This is an old rule of the annual All-Star Weekend.

Then came the NBA Fans Carnival, where we had a carnival with the fans.Ye Feng is relatively low-key, but he can make many nympho girls scream with just a wave of his hand.It can be seen that he is more popular than Kobe here.

The first day was the Rookie Challenge. Ariel and Hilton also arrived in Dallas in the afternoon. The two beauties sat next to Ye Feng, stealing the spotlight.Generally speaking, when a man has a relationship with Hilton, it is a scandal, but Ye Feng and her are gentlemen's friendship, nothing has been spread.

The first-year coach is the Clippers' new assistant coach "Ladder" Troy Jackson.Team members include: Blair (Spurs), Evans, Casspi (Kings), Thornton, Curry (Clippers), Flynn (Knicks), Harden (Thunder), Jennings (Bucks), Jerebko (Pistons),

Second-year coach Magic assistant Ewing, players: Beasley (Heat), McGee, Love (Clippers), Gallinari (Knicks), Gordon (Lynx), Brook Lopez (Nets), OJ. Mayo (Heat), Rose (Thunder), Westbrook (Grizzlies).

As of two weeks before the start of the All-Star Game, that is, until January 1, the head coach of the team with the highest winning percentage in each division will be selected as the head coach of the All-Star Game.However, NBA rules also prohibit a coach from being selected as the head coach of consecutive All-Star games.Mike Brown was the head coach of the 31 All-Star Game, so he's banned, even though the Cavaliers had the best record in their division at the Jan. 2009 deadline.The Magic coaching staff was selected as a substitute.

Although "Ladder" Jackson is a newcomer, the Clippers coaching staff agreed that it would be more gratifying to let him be the coach of the rookie team, so Hardaway gave him the opportunity.

This year's first-year students are quite surprising. After the No. 55 pick fell through throughout the season, many guards came to the fore. Jennings became famous at the beginning of the regular season and scored 17 points in a single game; while Evans and the Israelis Casspi has become the king's dazzling double star; the Clippers' Curry played well, averaging 48 points per game and shooting 20% from the field. He will compete with Evans, who averaged 5+5+[-] per game, for the best rookie.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the first graders are very aggressive after the opening, and they don't take the seniors seriously.Evans and Jennings are the most eye-catching.After 4 minutes of the game, Evans broke through quickly, easily penetrated through the crowd, and dunked successfully, and the freshman led by 15 to 13.After the two teams exchanged leads several times, Evans stood up again to steal the spotlight. After receiving a pass from Harden, he dunked successfully, and teammate Casspi also made a layup after that, keeping the lead at the beginning.

In the second grade, he played the outside line many times, but his shooting percentage was not high. After the score fell behind, he switched to the inside line and gradually took the initiative.As a result, the second grade defeated the first grader 138 to 130, winning for 9 consecutive years.The first-year offense was better, mainly due to the lack of insiders. This season, the rookies in the insiders have performed poorly. Only the second-round rookie Blair participated in the center. He is much shorter than McGee and Lopez.

McGee performed well, staged the world's best dunks many times. The MVP was won by Westbrook of the Grizzlies, who scored 40 points in this field.Love didn't show much. His style was soy sauce in the All-Star Game, and he only scored 6 points and 8 rebounds.

The next day was the All-Star Shooting Contest, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest.Ye Feng was not interested in these as usual, he only focused on the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, because two teammates participated in the competition and needed his support.Paul Pierce defeated Curry with 20 points in the final and won the three-point contest in an upset.Curry made more shots than him, but Pierce made all the shots, one top two...

Finally, the much-anticipated slam dunk contest.James broke his promise and failed to participate. The four participating players were defending champion Nate Robinson, Shannon Brown of the Lakers, JaVale McGee of the Clippers, and DeRozan of the Raptors.

The first player to play in the first round was DeRozan. He failed the first dunk, ran up from behind the backboard for the second dunk, and switched hands after the jump. It was quite difficult, but the referee only scored 42 points. , causing fans to boo.

The second player to play was Brown. He failed in the first dunk and turned 360 degrees in one step from the free throw line. The second time he changed to a dunk from the free throw line and changed hands in the air, canceling the turn, and only scored 37 points.

McGee was the third to play, and he showed his new idea in the first dunk. He ran up with the ball in his right hand, turned around and jumped up, pressed the backboard with his left hand, and dunked the ball in with a backhand with his right hand.

This action requires not only jumping ability, air control ability, but also wingspan. The judges collectively gave 50 points.This is a move that has never been done in the NBA dunk contest, and it is the idea of ​​the French USB street team.

The defending champion Robinson was the last to play. He failed twice in a row, threw the ball high for the third time, caught the rebound and dunked with both hands, scoring 44 points.

Brown, the penultimate player in the second round, had a back-to-back fight. People were expecting him to make a unique move, but he staged a boring drama with Kobe.Bryant pass, Brown alley-oop, a common common dunk in the game!It wasn't a performance at all, and it only scored 41 points.

DeRozan, who played second, jumped in the air to receive a pass from Williams hitting the edge of the backboard, and then dunked with a one-handed windmill, scoring 40 points.These two are definitely going to be eliminated.

Robinson played the third game. After two consecutive failures, he received a pass from teammate Gallinari and turned 180 degrees in the air for a two-handed dunk and scored 45 points.This score can already guarantee his promotion.

McGee made the last dunk, and Ye Feng came up to help.He rushed to the basket with the ball, and McGee followed behind. When people thought he was going to pass the ball, he made a gliding backhand layup and wiped the ball. The basketball in the frame, the crotch in the air changed hands and smashed the ball!
The two practiced this movement several times. The timing of the jump needs to be mastered very well. Ye Feng's backhand layup must also be hollow. With luck, it was done in one fell swoop.

The two bumped their chests to celebrate, and the referee collectively gave full marks.

McGee, who got two full marks, and Robinson, who got 89 points, joined hands to advance to the finals. Brown, who was the most popular before the game, became a joke and was eliminated.

Brown was hyped too much before the game. In fact, apart from popularity, the slam dunk contest is more about the competition of psychology, jumping, and creativity. Also a little nervous.As for Brown's dunks in normal games, although they look very domineering, their movements are quite monotonous and not difficult.

In the finals, the fans still voted to select the champion, each with two deductions.Ye Feng is McGee's partner. In an interview, he said: "McGee will definitely be the champion of this dunk contest. The most exciting ones will be left behind. Everyone will be surprised."

In the final, Robinson first prepared for a rebound and then a run-up, turning around for a 360-degree dunk. After two consecutive failures, Robinson changed his action, throwing and catching from outside the three-point line, and dunked successfully.He often participates in the slam dunk contest because he knows that he has no other specialties, and he has no idea to rely on this to earn some popularity.

As McGee sat on the court getting ready, a hoop was hauled into the game.

Barkley smiled in the commentary booth: "What is this for? Stealing Dwight Howard's Superman dunk?"

Obviously not, the two baskets were placed together, and the basket that was pulled in later was placed on the right, which was higher than the normal basket.McGee went so far as to dunk two baskets.This is the idea that Ye Feng told him. In fact, even if he didn't mention it, McGee will come up with it next year.There will be Griffin in the slam dunk contest next year, so McGee won't join in the fun.

In fact, even if he competed with Griffin, McGee could have become the champion of the slam dunk contest. Griffin relied on his super popularity to pick up the leak. The champion has already been booked.

To be honest, Griffin’s performance in the slam dunk contest was very low. It took two 360-degree turn dunks to complete the dunk. The last move was to fly the car, and he still completed the alley-oop without holding the ball and jumped from the front of the car. of.That ball is less difficult than flying.

In the streetball slam dunk contest, someone actually leaped over a car with a ball. If Griffin did that, he would definitely have a "car accident"...

This buddy is known for his strength when he dunks. If he is beautiful, even Ye Feng can't compare.This time without Griffin, McGee will not be hacked.

Barkley shouted: "It seems that he is going to dunk an unheard of action. Ye Feng dunked two balls that year. If he can successfully dunk two baskets, he will definitely win the championship!"

With a ball in each hand, McGee ran in from the left side of the court. He first threw the ball with his right hand and hit the front rebound, then sprinted up with his left hand to fill the left basket, and then his right hand caught the ball from the previous rebound and filled the right basket. basket.It was so difficult, and after the first three unsuccessful attempts, the fourth attempt from the left finally succeeded, and within the allotted time.At this moment, the entire audience became fans of McGee and applauded with all their strength.

Howard, Wade and other stars looked in disbelief.

As long as there is this ball, McGee will win the championship.Robinson basically gave up too.After he took the ball and hit the board for the second dunk, he caught the rebound and turned around to buckle with both hands behind his back. The movement was very elegant, but he was not very creative.

McGee played without pressure, and the second move was still ingenious, this time dunking three basketballs.Ye Feng played again to help pass the ball to him. After the first four attempts failed, McGee finally succeeded in the fifth attempt. After he jumped high with both hands and quickly dunked in, he caught Ye Feng's pass in the air. The basketball was poured into the basket again.The fans in the audience all opened their mouths.

McGee's jumping ability is not the best among many dunkers, but his dunk creativity is undoubtedly the most exciting.Ye Feng played a supporting role in the game.Knowing these ideas, he also thought about participating in the slam dunk contest and winning the championship, but such an action of dunking three balls and dunking two dunks is impossible without an abnormal wingspan, so he simply retreated to the second line.

After the fans voted, McGee defeated Robinson with an absolute advantage of 84% to 16%, and finally won the slam dunk championship.So far, the Clippers have three slam dunk champions.
