Super all-around point guard

Chapter 455 The explosive slam dunk contest!
After the lively appearance ceremony, the atmosphere on the scene was heated up. Although JAY-Z was the guest invited by James, he also warmly shook hands with Xie Chen and said hello, and then sat down with Taylor Chen Yihan and the others.

Scarlett Johansson has also arrived, sitting quietly in her seat, smiling at Xie Chen. There are many female stars here tonight, all of whom are very well-dressed, but looking into the auditorium, it was Scarlett who first attracted Xie Chen.

The slam dunk contest is a game that shows the limits of the body, so before the game, the contestants must do warm-up exercises to put their bodies into an activated state. James and Zach Lavin are very active, even Westbrook, who doesn't care about the outcome of the game.

The first dunk is Zach LaVine!

Zach Laven is a little nervous now. All three opponents have played and watched him from the side, which puts him under more pressure. The first one to play will always be a little nervous, even if Zach Laven was the dunk king last year, even if he has [-]% confidence in himself.

"I must win, I must get full marks!" Zach Laven blew into his hands and began to prepare for a dunk.

After a brief cheer, the scene fell into a weird silence. The joy that JAY-Z and Taylor Swift brought to everyone seemed to dissipate in an instant, and everyone concentrated on Zach Laven.

CCTV commentator Yu Jia also said: "If you are at the scene, you will feel that the atmosphere of the scene is completely different from last year! Here is a brief introduction to the rules of the slam dunk contest. Each person has three dunk opportunities. If all three dunks fail, it is over. Players can choose flower balls or ordinary game balls."

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, Zach LaVine chose Flower Ball, which is more suitable for his dunking style. LaVine's first appearance can be said to be the player with the most pressure. Many people said that Zach LaVine's opponents last year were too weak to reflect LaVine's true strength. Well, this year's opponents are stronger. There are Xie Chen who is comparable to him, and there are Westbrook and James who have completely different styles from him. Remember."

Yes, Zach Laven just wants to leave his name in the history of the NBA dunk contest today!
I saw Zach Lavin walking to the backcourt with a bouquet. There was a long table near the midfield with five slam dunk contest judges sitting on it, namely Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, Julius Erving, Drexler, and Dominique Wilkins.

They were all dunk geniuses in NBA history. The five of them looked sideways when they saw LaVine running to the backcourt. Vince Carter whispered to Jordan, "He seems to be challenging that move."

Jordan nodded, already aware of it.

Yu Jia said excitedly: "Zakraven walked to the backcourt with the ball! Is he going to challenge the legendary free throw line to take off and dunk?!"

I saw Zach Laven bent down, closed his eyes tightly, and kept talking to the basketball. The other three players sitting on the side could see that Zach Laven was very serious about this game. James asked Xie Chen: "Guess what he is talking about?"

Xie Chen took a serious look at Zach Laven's mouth shape, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Wiggins behind him: "It's the limit! He wants to challenge the limit of his body!"

This is exactly the answer Xie Chen wants to say. In fact, Xie Chen is the most clear about the limit of Zach LaVine. He can even reach the limit every time he dunks, and it is very easy. But for LaVine himself, if he wants to perform at the limit level in a dunk, it needs sufficient preparation and strong belief.

Zach Laven took a deep breath and finally started to sprint!
Yu Jia exclaimed excitedly: "He moved!"

I saw Zach Laven quickly rushing forward with the ball at an extremely fast speed, drifting by like a gust of wind. Sure enough, he took off on one foot at the free throw line!
"Sure enough, it's a dunk from the free throw line!"

When it comes to free throw line dunks, it’s hard not to think of Jordan’s one-handed dunk from the free throw line, running straight to the basket, advancing in the air as if stepping on a cloud, elegant and beautiful, but LaVine’s free throw line dunk is different from Jordan’s.

I saw that after LaVine lifted the ball with one hand, his left hand quickly came over, is he going to dunk with both hands?No, I saw him holding the basketball with both hands in the air, and began to swing his arms.

"Big windmill dunk!"

With a bang, LaVine took just one chance to dunk the basketball into the hoop and completed a wonderful dunk.

The scene that had been quiet for a long time suddenly roared, and Yu Jia also shouted excitedly: "The windmill dunks at the free throw line! LaVine's first dunk is so powerful!"

Zhang Weiping also exclaimed in amazement: "It's amazing. According to last year's judging criteria, this would be 50 points. This is said to be a big free throw line, but it actually stepped on the line, but it is also very exciting and very difficult. LaVine's first dunk raised the standard of this slam dunk contest. If the next three of them do not achieve this level, it will be difficult to get a high score."

Xie Chen, Westbrook, and James all stood up and applauded. Wiggins rushed over excitedly and jumped up and bumped his chest with Zach LaVine. He kept touching LaVine's head and said with a smile: "Brother, you are great! This dunk is even more perfect than the usual practice!"

Zach Lavin's dunk action was played again and again on the scene, with one leg flying in the air, that kind of free stretching, that kind of graceful and free and easy, really intoxicating.

"This kid jumps so high, I think I can only compare him with him." Dr. J Owen praised in the judges' seat.

Indeed, in this dunk, it can be clearly seen that Zach LaVine's vacated height, LaVine perfectly showed his advantages.

Carter glanced at Jordan: "Are you going to give 10 points? Actually, I want to give 9 points. His big windmill arms are not good-looking."

Jordan smiled and glanced at Carter, without speaking.

Then the host walked over and asked them to start grading. In fact, there was an electronic grading device provided by Sprite, but they were not used to it for the old guys, so they still took the grading brand directly.

Dr. J gave 10 points, Glider gave 10 points, Wilkins gave 10 points, Michael Jordan gave 10 points, and Carter finally gave 10 points!
Yu Jia exclaimed: "The first dunk is a dunk with a perfect score of 50 points! My God, this is too much pressure for Westbrook, James and Xie Chen who will play next! Let's see what tricks Westbrook can use."

The second one is the appearance of Russell Westbrook from the Thunder. Although Zach Lavin contributed a perfect dunk, Westbrook still looks happy and doesn't feel any pressure. His mentality is better than anyone else's, because he has no desire to win or lose.

Westbrook didn't come by himself this time. His teammate, Steven Adams, a [-] meter big man, also played with him. It seemed that the two of them were going to cooperate.

Yu Jiadao: "Westbrook cooperated with his teammate Adams to complete this dunk. Adams is holding the ball and standing under the basket. Adams is going to throw the ball back, and then give Westbrook, Westbrook a slam dunk?"

Zhang Weiping said: "It's very possible, because there are many dunks like this. Paul George once dunked through Hibbert and another person who I forgot. Generally, a small man like Westbrook dunks through a big man. If the dunk is successful, it will give people a very shocking effect. I think Westbrook still put some thought into it."

After hearing this, Yu Jia laughed and said, "Did you use 'a little bit'? Haha, but it seems that Westbrook is indeed the one with the best mentality among them. It seems that there is no pressure at all, which is actually a good thing when dunking."

Westbrook is relaxed, so he won't make mistakes due to nervousness when dunking.

Westbrook's advantages lie in his fast speed, strong explosive power, and ferocious dunks. This time he will give full play to all his characteristics.

I saw Westbrook started to pick up speed, sprinting extremely fast, almost crazy, just when Westbrook was about to come in front of Adams, Adams sensed Westbrook's arrival, unexpectedly did not throw the ball back, but smashed the ball hard to the backboard.

Westbrook rushed fast, and the basketball rebounded fast.Westbrook rushed fiercely, and the basketball rebounded fiercely!

I saw Westbrook rushing up and pressing Adams' head with his left hand. There was no way. No matter how high Westbrook jumped, it was impossible to completely jump over such a big man over [-] meters. Pressed with his left hand, prompting Westbrook to use his strength to jump higher. Adams passed the ball beautifully. The height of the basketball bounced back was perfect.

boom!
The basketball was poured into the hoop!
The scene was shocked again!
Garnett's expression was exaggerated, Kobe's expression was exaggerated, Durant kept yelling, and Oladipo, who had just come out of the hospital not long ago, also applauded vigorously.

Zhang Weiping said excitedly: "Westbrook's dunk is really powerful. Although it looks very simple, it is a one-arm dunk after stepping over a person, and it still dunks on Adams' head, but you can't just look at the dunk. You have to look at it as a whole. Westbrook's sprint speed, Adams' precise pass, and the violence at the moment of the dunk are no less shocking than LaVine's."

Yu Jia also said: "Director Zhang is too right. If the slam dunk contest is just about who jumps higher than who jumps in the air, then there is no need to compare. The slam dunk contest is based on the shock of the scene. I intuitively feel that the score will not be low, at least three 10 points, and I am thinking that such a violent dunk by a small man like Westbrook will cause such a big response. James who is 120 meters and [-] kilograms will come out later, and the scene will not be crazy."

Although James doesn't communicate with Westbrook very much, he also applauds happily. In terms of dunk style, the two of them are of the same type, so of course he has to support Westbrook.

Tonight is a violent and beautiful duel. Just now LaVine and Westbrook performed once respectively. Next, James and Xie Chen will perform again. This is also very difficult for the judges of the slam dunk contest. They dunk very well and have different styles. How you judge is a problem.

The five judges looked at me and I looked at you, and finally showed their scores.

Dr. J Owen has 10 points, Michael Jordan has 10 points, Vince Carter has 10 points, Wilkins has 10 points, and Drexler, who showed his cards at the end, also has 10 points!
"Another perfect score of 50 points!" Yu Jia was shocked: "I don't know if LeBron James will have psychological pressure. I want to say here that the significance of James' participation in the slam dunk contest is very important. His behavior of participating in the slam dunk contest has been respected by everyone in the league. You must know that James is 31 years old. He has passed the age to participate in such competitions as the slam dunk contest. Moreover, he is already a two-time championship winner and a two-time finals MVP. It is really not easy for a player at this level to participate in the slam dunk contest."

Zhang Weiping also said: "That's right, if it wasn't for Xie Chen, I don't think James would have participated in this kind of competition. Last year Xie Chen robbed James of the championship, and James might really want to take revenge here. It depends on how James' physical condition is. Whether he is okay or not, judging from his performance before this season, his speed and jumping have declined compared to last year."

Highlights of James' dunks this season began to be played on the big screen at the scene. It was really pitiful, and some of them looked like dunks by a veteran. They were very slow, and their dunks were not as vigorous as before.

Many fans began to sigh: "Hey, watching James' dunks this season, his body is obviously not as good as before. He is still willing to participate in the dunk contest at this age. I really want to praise him."

Many people have sympathy for James, perhaps only Xie Chen knows that this is James’ intentional emotional card. Xie Chen knows the best about James’ physical condition. He has only copied James’ layup ability before, and he is very familiar with James’ jumping and explosive power. During this period of time, James has not suffered any injuries.

The purpose is to shock fans all over the world in the dunk contest!
Xie Chen also has a backup, so he doesn't despise James' approach at all.

As Xie Chen's formidable opponent, as soon as James appeared on the stage, his aura was terrifying. Chen Yihan and Zhang Junning clasped their hands together and prayed for Xie Chen. Scarlett on the side couldn't help chuckling when she saw it. Scarlett naturally cared about Xie Chen, but she had always had confidence in Xie Chen.

The first two are full marks, and Xie Chen's biggest opponent, LeBron James, has finally appeared. What points can he get?
