Chapter 299 After 2000, the most successful slam dunk contest

Chapter 86 The most successful dunk contest since 2000

Jack asked the staff on the sidelines for a ball, and then walked straight to the middle circle.

At this moment, the scene became extremely quiet.The fans at the scene couldn't help holding their breaths, their eyes were fixed on Jack, and their breathing couldn't help but become short of breath.

"Bah, bah, bah..." The sound of the basketball hitting the wooden floor sounded, and Jack was slapping the basketball hard in the middle circle.After completing this series of actions, Jack dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point arc...

What kind of action will Jack complete?The fans at the scene put this huge question mark in their hearts.

The fans at the scene all stared at Jack who was standing outside the three-point circle.Without exception, their eyes revealed that they were eagerly looking forward to Jack's dunk this time.

Jack stood beyond the three-point line, and then his head looked at the hoop directly above his forehead.In my heart, after visually measuring the distance, Jack's pupils instantly contracted extremely and became a focal point, and the target was locked.At the same time, the basketball in his hand was thrown high, and the basketball drew a very beautiful arc in the air.

At the moment when the basketball was thrown and flew, Jack bent his knees and kicked off the ground. The muscles of his calf became extremely tense like a twisted hemp rope.The explosive power erupted from the calf in an instant, and Jack flew out of the ground like a hungry wolf pounced on a rabbit, like lightning.

Jack's body was flying in the air, and when Jack had just risen to the highest point in the air, the basketball just fell into Jack's hands impartially.Jack, who was flying high in the air, held the ball high with one arm. In the next moment, Jack held the ball with his left hand.After drawing an arc in the air, passing through Jack's crotch, the ball in Jack's left hand was handed over to his right hand as if by magic.

Jack looked down at the basket that was close at hand, as if the basket in front of Jack had enmity with him.Jack pursed his lips tightly, his face was ferocious, and his eyes were wide with anger... Everything in his body revealed Sen Han's murderous aura.

Jack used his spiking hand as a tomahawk, and there was a loud "boom", the basketball was overwhelmed and there was an endless groan, and the basket was shaking non-stop.

"Crack, click, click..." The flashes of the cameras on the scene were frantically capturing the shots, and the flashes flickered.

With a "boom", the quiet stadium suddenly seemed to explode.The whole audience fell into a big madness.All the audience, without exception, gave a very high mark.

The older generation of dunkers sitting on the referee's bench, when they saw Jack's dunk, they had a bright feeling.

Carter held up a 10-point sign, Irving and Wilkins also showed their 10-point signs, while Jordan and Kobe only gave 9 and 8 points.

Jordan was extremely harsh throughout the game, and his points were precious throughout the game. Ordinary moves, ordinary dunks, it was difficult to get into his eyes.

But even so, Jack still scored 47 points in this round of competition.As a result, Jack's total score came to 95 points, securing his place in the final.

Therefore, the finalists of this year's slam dunk contest have also been determined.After resting and adjusting for a few minutes, the slam dunk final is about to start again.

Because, in the preliminaries, Jack's score was lower than Green's.Therefore, in the final, Jack had to play before Green.

Jack still holds the ball in midfield, but this time is different from the previous team.This time, Jack has already started dribbling near the center circle team, and his speed is constantly increasing, reaching the extreme in an instant.

Jack's feet seemed to be blown by the wind, and the three-point line passed under Jack's forehead. In an instant, Jack stepped on the free throw line, bent his knees, kicked the ground, and his body jumped directly from the ground. .

Jack holds the ball with both hands in the air, and with his arms raised high.At this moment, Jack forcibly tightened his waist, and at this moment, the most exciting scene appeared.

Jack seems to be out of gravity, turning 360 degrees in the air, Jack's body is extremely twisted, the twisted body has been deformed, and it looks extremely scary.

Jack held the ball high with one arm in the air, facing the basket that was close at hand, with a sound of "boom", Jack slammed the ball into the basket as hard as he could with all his strength. .

This ball looks not too difficult, but it requires very high physical fitness and jumping height.Jack also scored 45 points for a dunk this time.Jordan and Kobe only gave 8 points, Carter also gave 9 points, Irving and Wilkins gave full marks.

Green's first dunk was not very brilliant, he still cooperated with Pierce, Pierce threw the ball high from behind the backboard, Green got up in the air to catch the ball with both hands, slid for a distance and then dunked again. The action also only scored 41 points.

Because Jack was temporarily ahead of Green in the first dunk of the finals.Therefore, in the last dunk, Green must play before Jack.

The pressure that Jack put on Green was indeed not small. Green's dunk in the final was not very smooth. He placed a local Las Vegas gaming table under the basket, and then used a big windmill after a leap Dunk the ball into the hoop.

The first time the dunk bounced off the rim and it didn't go in. The second time the basketball was dunked in too hard, it bounced out again. It wasn't until the fourth time that the ball was successfully dunked in.

To be honest, Green's dunk is really good, his body extensibility and the height of his bounce are perfect.However, it took a fourth deduction to succeed.Makes the total score lower a lot of points.

In the end, Green scored 48 points.At this point, Jack's pressure came up again.

The last buckle was played by Jack.When Green dunked, Jack had already asked Paul to take out the things he had prepared.

The lights in the arena suddenly went dark with a "snap..." sound.

"what happened?"

"What's going on here?"

"What kind of plane"

"What is this for?"

…………

Suddenly, the inexplicable turning off of the lights caused a lot of restlessness in the scene.Fans began to discuss, and some even started cursing.

After about 5 minutes, the dim lights of the scene came on again.However, this time, the difference from when the lights were turned off just now is that there are more things on the scene.

I saw that there was an extra Ferrari convertible sports car under the basket where Jack dunked.The whole body of the sports car presents a streamlined configuration. The whole body of the sports car is yellow and clear, and there are people sitting in the sports car. Who is that person but Paul?
In the car, Paul gave an ok gesture to Jack who was standing in the midfield, and Jack nodded.

Seeing these things that suddenly appeared, neither the audience nor the judges at the scene had expectations for Jack's dunk this time.They had a hunch that something incredible would happen.

The eyes of more than 2 spectators at the scene were all projected on Jack's body, "click, click, click..." The reporter kept pressing the shutter of the camera.

They all had the same question mark in their hearts: What will happen next?

I saw that after Jack saw Paul made the ok gesture.Jack's body showed a diving posture, and his body flew out of the ground like a rocket.

Jack's height of 213 cm, his explosive strength, coupled with his lightning speed, Jack is like a heavy bomber.Great visual impact, Shan Fan looked at Jack who was already running, the hearts of the fans couldn't help speeding up, and the blood began to boil continuously.

When Jack was about to get close to the car, he sat in the car and threw the ball out of the car, spinning and rising in the air.

Jack bent his knees, kicked the ground, jumped up from the ground with the momentum of a tiger jumping on a rabbit, and flew towards the basketball flying in the air.Jack flew over Paul's head, gliding through the air without touching the car in the slightest.

Paul instinctively saw Jack leaping over his head, subconsciously covered his head with his hands, and made a lying posture.

With a loud bang, Jack dunked the basketball in his hands fiercely into the basket with both hands.

Quiet, quiet, quiet... At this moment, time seems to be frozen.The scene fell into absolute silence, and you could vaguely hear the rapid breathing of the fans, as well as the speeding breathing...

Jack, who landed safely on the ground, was momentarily stunned after seeing this scene on the field.How is this going?Isn't it good to buckle?

"1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, ... 8 seconds!" After the time paused for about 8 seconds.

A middle-aged bearded man sitting on the sidelines reacted first, he couldn't control his emotions, "Ah...... ……………………………" Holding his head, he yelled loudly, it was so exciting that he almost couldn't bear it.

The faces of most of the fans at the scene were flushed, and they couldn't hold back anymore.They also imitated the appearance of this uncle.They yelled loudly, and suddenly, screams, shouts, exclamations, applause... Like a stormy seashore, they sprayed out from the high auditorium, engulfing the entire basketball court.

The fans holding signs at the scene raised 10 points signs for Jack one after another.

Even if it is Jordan and others who are the judges.They were also pulled up abruptly from their seats by Jack's dunk.

Waving his arms, he shouted a few times at the top of his voice.

Jack's creative dunk will definitely go down in history.

As the judges, Vince Carter, Owen, Wilkins, and Kobe raised the 10-point sign in their hands.

Jack finally locked his eyes on Jordan. Since the start of the slam dunk contest of this All-Star Game, Jordan has never scored a ten-pointer.Green didn't, Warcraft Howard didn't, defending champion Nate Robinson didn't...

I don't know if Jack's dunk can touch Jordan's heart?

Jordan's eyes froze for a few seconds, Jack's not a person who cared much about what others thought.However, Jack really wanted Jordan's approval this time.Jack's eyes were firmly fixed on Jordan, and his throat kept swallowing saliva. It could be seen that Jack really cared about Jordan's opinion this time.

The noisy stadium also became quiet, much quieter than before.

Jack's dunk is top-notch in terms of height, creativity, entertainment, and stretch. Jordan thought about it for about 8 seconds.This time, Jordan was not stingy, and gave Jack the only perfect score in the game.

As soon as Jack raised the sign in his hand, Jack immediately threw his hand into the air, and then he clenched his fist with his right hand, and punched himself hard in the chest.

"Aooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... )

Paul, who was sitting in the car, also ran out of the car and rushed towards Jack, and the two hugged tightly.

2 minutes later, in the fan voting, Jack was elected champion with 60% of the votes.Jack deservedly became the focus of this year's dunk contest.

After the competition, there will be an award ceremony:

After the league president Stern delivered the award speech, Jordan personally handed the slam dunk trophy to Jack.Jack waved the trophy to the audience around him excitedly.

Although winning the championship was expected by Jack, Jack was still very excited to win the championship. "I am very excited now. I have always dreamed of participating in the slam dunk contest at the All-Star Weekend, but I never thought that my dream would come true." Really, I also won the championship. Thank you, thank you very much, thank the league for giving me such a good opportunity to express myself, thank you..."

As today's protagonist after the game, it is absolutely unavoidable to be interviewed.

When Jack was asked what he thought of the game?Jack gave the following answer:

"The opponents are very strong, and their dunks are very creative. I just want to find some new tricks that they haven't done before, especially when Jordan, the greatest dunk master, is the judge. The game is even more difficult."

Indeed, it was too difficult to get Jordan's approval, because, among all the points Jordan scored, he only gave the highest 10 points in Jack's last car dunk.

In the dunk contest in 07, Jack was undoubtedly the most brilliant existence.After the slam dunk contest ended, it was compared with previous slam dunk contests by fans.

The slam dunk contest that Jack participated in is also known as the most classic and memorable slam dunk contest since 2000.

Some media also claimed that Jack saved the dunk!
Because after the Jordan and Wilkins dunk battle, the dunk will be in short supply.The slam dunk contest has always been in a state of "chicken ribs".This phenomenon has been maintained until 2000 because of Carter's appearance, it became exciting again.

However, after Carter fell sadly, there are only a handful of dunkers in the league that can be called.This phenomenon continued until Jack appeared.The appearance of Jack undoubtedly saved the art of dunking.

As soon as the results of this year's slam dunk contest came out, fans expressed their comments one after another.Most of what fans were talking about was Jack's dunk after taking the leap car.

"Jack's first dunk, at that time, I was blinded when I saw the picture."

"The buckle of Jack Leaping over the car is powerful enough, the only downside is, why isn't I the one sitting in it?"

"Jack jumped so high that he could fly over the roof of the car."

"Which one of Jack's dunks is not awesome enough? I think he should put the car more squarely, so that it will be more perfect."

"There will be dunks to watch in the future."

"After Vince Carter, I finally knew who to watch."

"Continue next year and look forward to tomorrow!"

………………

The end of the slam dunk contest heralds the end of today's entertainment, and also heralds the start of the all-star contest, the highlight of the show.

The roster for the All-Star Game will be announced at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.
