This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 171 'Kung Fu' Dunk

The third preliminaries play is Dwight Howard.

His slam dunk was a windmill slam dunk. Although this ball was difficult for a big player to complete, the audience did not buy it, but there were too many slam dunks like this in previous games. There is always some aesthetic fatigue.

Many spectators with invalid scorecards only scored 8 or 9 points. In the end, Dwight Howard only scored 43 points, one point less than Zhou Lin's 44 points.

The last slam dunk champion, Nate Robinson, was the finale.

Nate Robinson's dunk is also a self-throwing dunk, but there is no windmill, just a one-arm dunk with some gliding.

Of course, for a player whose real height may only be 172cm, as long as he can dunk the ball in one time, the fans and audience at the scene will give a certain degree of affirmation.

Kobe Bryant gave 10 points for his face, Vince Carter and Dr. J Irving scored 9 points, Jordan was stingy and only gave 8 points, Dominique Wilkins thought about it , and finally gave 9 points.

In the end, Nate Robinson's dunk scored 45 points, ranking second after Gerald Green.

In the first round of scoring, Dwight Howard scored 43 points the lowest.

This time, Dwight Howard brought in his teammate Magic guard Jamal Nelson.

The fit is simple, Jamal Nelson throws the ball up, Howard jumps to the top, catches the ball and dunks.

As if this is just the simplest relay dunk, it seems that there is nothing special about an inside player with explosive jumping ability.

Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter are still showing face, after all, they both played in the league and both scored 9 points.

As for Jordan, Dr. J, and Wilkins, the three big names didn't give face so much, and gave 8 points to each of them.

Paul Pierce was standing next to the judging panel, tentatively asking: Is this the final score?

And the camera playback mechanism just introduced this year quickly shows the picture.

In the replay, while Howard completed the alley-oop with his left hand, he also held a sticker with his big head in his right hand and pasted it on a high point not far from the edge of the backboard.

Dual purpose.

I am afraid that all the judges at that time did not notice Howard's real intention.

And Jamal Nelson, who complained about his teammates, directly found a ruler to measure the height of the sticker from the ground. When the dunk was completed, the sticker was less than a slap away from the top of the backboard.

Moreover, Jamal Nelson also marked the data on paper and showed it to everyone in the venue.

12 feet 6 inches, folded height 382cm.

But in terms of difficulty, maybe Dwight Howard's height is the only one who can touch it on the scene, let alone dunk at the same time.

Dwight Howard also knows that it is difficult for him to compare with other players in terms of viewing, so he has an idea in terms of entertainment. Unfortunately, the judges don't buy it at all!

In this round, Dwight Howard only scored 42 points, 85 points in two rounds, and basically missed the final.

It was Zhou Lin's turn. This time Zhou Lin had to complete the action of throwing and buckling himself. No one expected that Zhou Lin went to the locker room to change clothes and ran out during this period.

And when it came out, everyone was happy.

Magic Johnson had already burst into laughter in the live broadcast room, and shouted that Zhou Lin was really entertaining.

And Michael Jordan laughed at Wilkins beside him and said, "I will give 10 points for this outfit, don't stop me."

Just now Zhou Lin changed into Bruce Lee's practice clothes quietly, um, it was the tight-fitting style with yellow background and black stripes.

Not only the commentators of TNT and the on-site commentators did not expect it, even the reporters of CCTV did not expect it. Yu Jia smiled and said: "Zhou Lin has always been a sunny and hardworking player in our influence, but he did not Thinking of it, there is also an entertaining side. Everyone should see that he is imitating the Chinese kung fu superstar Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee is also very well-known in Hollywood. As a well-known martial arts superstar, he is in the impression of many foreigners. , Bruce Lee is the image endorsement of us Chinese, NBA superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also learned Jeet Kune Do from Bruce Lee, and the two have established a deep friendship."

Shaq O'Neal on the side came over and said to Zhou Lin in a serious manner: "Let's compete, Bruce Lee."

Then Zhou Lin kicked his legs handsomely, and the strong O'Neill directly 'fell down'.

Then, Zhou Lin received the basketball from the dark place and started running from a distance. After a long sprint, he took off from the free throw line and successfully dunked. Signature kung fu moves.

And not far away, O'Neill came over and clasped his fists at Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin also bowed and clasped his fists instead.

It is not so much a slam dunk, but also a performance, and it is also a promotion of Chinese culture.

After laughing at the scene, there was still a lot of applause.

'Kung Fu Dunk'

'Kung Fu Dunk'

Many people present shouted this slogan, and also wanted one, more.

"Zhou is really a talent, this wave must be given 10 points."

Kobe Bryant smiled and said, "Vince, what do you think?"

Vince Carter shook his head and said, "I'll give 9 points for this wave."

Michael Jordan naturally praised his players and quickly scored 10 points.

However, Dr. J Irving and Dominique Wilkins, who were a little bit deceived and only knew the connotation of Zhou Lin's dunk after being reminded by the staff, were not particularly cold about it.

And the replay of Zhou Lin was also given at the scene. Zhou Lin stepped on the free throw line with a big step, so the gliding distance can only be said to be average.

From a technical point of view, it was not difficult for Zhou Lin to score in the slam dunk contest, so in the end Dr. J Owen and Dominique Wilkins only scored 8 points.

But because of Jordan's protection and Kobe Bryant's support, Zhou Lin still scored 45 points.

The scores from the two rounds added up to 89 points, which is already not low.

After Zhou Lin, there is Nate Robinson, who scored 45 points in the previous round. As long as he maintains the level of the previous round, he will definitely advance to the final.

In this round of slam dunks, Nate Robinson found David Lee as his partner. David Lee stood under the basket holding the basketball. Ball dunk.

The commentators on TNT are all saying that they like the dunks of Dwight Howard and Zhou Lin.

As for the judges, it was the first time that they were unanimous and gave all 9 points.

Exactly 45 points.

The score of 90 points is exactly one point more than Zhou Lin, and Gerald Green scored 48 points in the last round. This round only needs 42 points to advance. Zhou Lin basically has a high probability of stopping this round up.

The camera fell on Zhou Lin's side, Zhou Lin smiled and said he had no regrets.

Nate Robinson's height is really an advantage. Basically, as long as he successfully dunks the ball in once, the score will definitely not be particularly low.

Zhou Lin walked over and hugged Dwight Howard. It was a mutual warmth between the losers. Dwight Howard laughed and said, "Zhou, can you lend me this dress? It's so cool. "

Zhou Lin laughed and said, "This is our Chinese hero, and you Americans also have heroes. Dwight, you can have another dunk contest in a Superman suit."

"Not a bad idea."

Dwight Howard nodded while dragging his chin.

Gerald Green, who played in the finale, basically had no pressure. Gerald Green even changed into Reebok's Las Vegas special shoes, and Paul Pierce, who was on the side, also got Nate. Robinson's portrait is comparable to a cardboard stop sign.

Nate Robinson stretched out his hand and laughed loudly, "Hey, Gerald, just let me come."

Talking and laughing as he walked into the court, everyone knew that Gerald Green was going to leap over Nate Robinson.

Robinson hilariously covered his head with his training clothes, as if he was very scared, or very reluctant to face the fact of being leaped.

For Gerald Green, the simple leaping little potato is too difficult. Basically, it is no different from a normal dunk, so Gerald Green naturally needs to have additional moves. He added a leap, The movement of covering the eyes with the other arm.

The judges also gave good responses. Dominique Wilkins and Vince Carter gave 10 points, while Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Dr. J Owen all gave 9 points.

In the second round, 47 points.

A total of 95 points.

Gerald Green entered the final decisive battle without any suspense.

The camera was also aimed at Dwight Howard and Zhou Lin, who were chatting and laughing.

"We must come up with some new tricks next time, or we won't be able to deal with them. Will you come again next time? My Mr. Bruce Lee."

Zhou Lin laughed and said, "Let's leave the championship to you, Dwight."

"what a pity."

In the final part of the final, Nate Robinson played first and threw himself.

His first dunk failed because the ball didn't rebound enough, the second was because he didn't jump high enough and was rejected by the basket again, and the third time, Nate Robinson dunked the ball into the basket, and he still used a Under the premise of grasping the basket with hands first.

It is naturally impossible for the judges to give a high score.

Sure enough, Michael Jordan scored the lowest score of 7, while the others scored 8.

A total of 39 points is also the lowest score in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

In this round, Gerald Green didn't pursue any high difficulty. He just let Paul Pierce throw the ball from the back of the backboard. Gerald Green caught the ball and made an alley-oop dunk!
Su Qun commented: "In this round, it can be seen that Gerald Green is still seeking stability. This is a very clean dunk, but it is not difficult, but the degree of completion is better than that of Nate Robinson, so the score probably will not be high. Very tall, but certainly a little taller than Nate Robinson."

And the audience didn't buy the dunk very much. Many fans got 8 points on the scoring cards.

Sure enough, except for Dr. J Owen's 9 points, all the judges only scored 8 points.

A total of 41 points.

"This is to save the suspense until the last moment. With a gap of 2 points, we don't even know who wins."

And Nate Robinson also wanted to counterattack with the last dunk. At the beginning, Nate Robinson wanted to throw the rebound and catch the ball and then catch the 270° turn and dunk, but this difficulty is not small, after all, his height There.

After a full five attempts without success.

Nate Robinson couldn't move anymore, and Gerald Green on the side was cheering for Nate Robinson.

Nate Robinson didn't want to give up. The sixth time, the seventh time, the eighth time, until the time of 2 minutes ran out, Nate Robinson didn't make a dunk, and he himself was unwilling to change the action.

However, at the request of the fans and the host, Nate Robinson got the chance to make up the buckle.

The NBA All-Star is originally about entertainment, the rules and so on, as long as the fans at the scene are willing, the judges can change it to save face.

Again, still no success.

Then, finally, on the tenth time, Nate Robinson pulled it off.

The audience still burst into loud applause for him.

"If this goal was dunked at one time, then it would not be too much to get 50 points, but considering that Nate Robinson dunked a full ten times, and there were two opportunities outside the rules, so the score will not be special. The high score is about 40 points."

Su Qun's prediction was very accurate. Except for Dr. J Owen who scored 9 points for face, the other judges scored 8 points.

In the second round, 41 points.

A total of 80 points for both rounds.

As for Gerald's last dunk, as long as he scores 39 points, he can win the championship. In fact, as long as Gerald Green successfully dunks, basically there will be no suspense in the championship.

Gerald Green didn't stop for stability because of this, but decided to dunk the most beautiful finishing ball.

A black box with SLAM.DUNK printed on it was pushed up. The height of the box is not too high. If it is just a leap, it is not very difficult.

But Gerald Green put the box outside the three-second zone at least one meter away from the basket. The longer the take-off point, the more difficult it is.

While Gerald Green was still dunking, he added a gliding speed movement, all stretched.

In the end, it was a one-time buckle.

This time the critical judges showed all 10 points for the first time.

Gerald Green won the 92 Slam Dunk Contest with a total of 2007 points in the final.

And Zhou Lin won the third place.

However, Zhou Lin's kung fu star appearance quickly appeared on the NBA website the next day, attracting a lot of attention, which can be regarded as attracting a lot of attention.

Zhou Lin's first All-Star Tour was completely over.

He didn't go to the final day of the All-Star Game.

Instead, he took his girlfriend Misha, his mother and sister and had a good time in Las Vegas, the casino city, for two days.

Also, after the All-Star game, Anta announced a generous donation of 200 million RMB, while Zhou Lin donated 100 million together with the All-Star bonus.

Taking advantage of this wave of enthusiasm, Anta also took advantage of the opportunity to push Zhou Lin's signature shoe 'Control' I to the market.

For a long time, the 'Control' I generation has become the number one sales of domestic sneakers.
