Chapter 148

On the second day, the All-Star Game ushered in the two most entertaining competitions - the dunk contest and the three-point contest.

The slam dunk contest included Elijah Ryder from the Timberwolves, Sean Kemp "Rain Man" from the Sonics, Alan Houston from the Celtics, James Robinson from the Trail Blazers, Robert Parker from the Denver Nuggets, and our protagonist, Michael DeWeese from the Orlando Magic.

The rules of the 94 slam dunk contest were somewhat different from those of later generations. He asked the participating players to perform a slam dunk performance at will within 90 seconds in the first round, and then the judges would give a comprehensive score.In the finals, the final score will be calculated by the 2 highest-scoring dunks of the contestants.

Davis, wearing a white Magic No. 1 jersey, sat there quietly.

To be honest, in the official game, although Davis has good physical fitness and can jump, he doesn't have many dunks in actual combat.

Because actual dunks have always been his weakness.

But for that greedy task reward, Davis decided to go all out~
He paid the most attention to Sean Kemp and Elijah Ryder, the former, as the most famous brutalist power forward, this year is the fifth year to participate in the slam dunk contest. . .But never won a championship.

And Elijah Ryder is the champion of this slam dunk contest in history.

Davis sat on the sidelines, watching the players warm up.

For him who has countless dunk moves beyond this era in his mind, as long as he dunks the ball smoothly, he doesn't know who else can compete with him in this era.

The first to appear was Robert Parker. After interacting with the scene, he started his first round of performances.

On the first ball, Parker came to around 45 degrees to the right of the three-point line, and then made a reverse dunk that slipped the bottom line, a success, which attracted cheers from the audience.

On the second ball, he smashed the board head-on for a dunk, and then poured the ball into the basket with a powerful one-handed dunk.

His third ball was a head-on smash. . .It seems that the dunks of this era are more about physical fitness. After catching the ball, he glides in the air for a short time, and then succeeds in the back dunk.

There was not enough time left for another dunk, so Parker went straight back to his seat, smiled and gave Kemp a high-five.

DeWeese also stood up and applauded.

His first round score was 42 points.

The second player to play is James Robinson. Davis is looking forward to whether this jumping man can play some new tricks.

However, his first dunk disappointed Dewes. He simply threw the ball into the sky, and then the ball bounced and then caught and dunked. There was no extra action, just catch the ball and dunk. . .

The second ball was a folding back button from the right three-point line, and it failed the first time. . .

Davis's mood slowly relaxed.

James Robinson's second attempt did not continue the previous action, but instead changed to a 180-degree turn.

That's right, DeWeese saw it clearly and only turned 180.

After these two dunks, James Robinson still has 1 minute, which is plenty.

So he went to the other side of the three-point line 45 degrees.

This dunk is very exciting, there is no fancy action, just jumping high, a large tomahawk dunk.

The posture in the air is extremely stretched, showing James Robinson's physical fitness to the fullest.

Even DeWeese couldn't help standing up and applauding.

Robinson prepares for his fourth dunk, which is similar to the second, but he turns around and grabs the rim with his left hand before dunking the ball in with his right.

Although there were still 30 seconds left after the dunk, James Robinson probably thought it was almost done, and he walked off the court with a smile on his face.

After a while, Robinson's final score was displayed on the big screen at the top of the arena.

39 points.

A green-faced Allan Houston is ready to play in a Celtics jersey.

Alan Houston is not known for his physical fitness, but he is very creative in his dunks. One of them is tossing the ball lightly, then hitting his head, jumping high and dunking the ball in.

This ball caused a lot of laughter off the court, including Pippen Ewing Mutombo and other big shots.

Alan Houston's final score was 41.5 points.

Then, the first round of competition reached its first climax.

The favorite to win the championship, Elijah Ryder plays!
Ryder, who is good at funny, danced on the court after he came on the court, and then threw the ball high into the air when the timer started.

It's still a catch and dunk, but Ryder's ball seems to be flying, with a very obvious gliding movement in the air, and the final dunk movement is also very explosive.

As soon as Ryder came up, he showed that he was superior to the previous competitors.

For the second ball, he wanted to repeat the same trick, but this time the ball bounced too far from the basket, and he fell helplessly after catching the ball in the air.

After landing, he lay on the floor directly, which caused a lot of exclamations.

But he got up right away.

The next time he tried, he made a complete move, a windmill dunk in the air, but the distance was still too far, and the ball dunked on the rim.

Ryder gave up on the dunk attempt, ran to the other side of the court, drove the ball straight to the hoop, and entered the paint after a reverse windmill.

After dunking the ball, with more than 40 seconds left in the clock, he started the failed attempt again.

This time it was done perfectly, the ball drew a perfect arc in his hand, and dunked into the basket vigorously.

There were only more than 20 seconds left in the time, but Ryder didn't seem to have a good dunk, and he came to the half court with the ball again.

This time it was a self-throw and dunk, and the ball bounced far away on the backboard, but Ryder still grabbed the ball firmly, gliding in the air to the basket for another time, and smashed the ball hard.

That's right, smashed in, refer to Tyrannosaurus Griffin. . .

Facing the cheers of the audience, Ryder walked off the field with a cool expression on his face.

He does have the capital to be proud of. These dunks are obviously higher than the previous three in terms of take-off height and stretch.

The slow motion on the big screen showed that after he jumped up, his head was almost flat.

This time there were obviously a lot more people high-fiving Ryder. Ewing, Pippen, Larry Johnson, and Mutombo were all waiting on the sidelines to high-five Ryder.

"What a handsome dunk, it seems that I have no chance this year." Alan Houston next to him said to Davis.

Davis rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously.

"Is there no point in winning the championship?"

At this time, Ryder's first-round score was displayed on the big screen.

46.8 points!
This also means that Ryder has been determined to enter the finals.
