Chapter 469 Slam Dunk Contest
Richardson got off to a great start for the dunk contest.

Several players who played later failed to surpass Richardson in points. Among the five players who have played, Richardson ranked first with a tribute dunk.

The sixth player to play is Robinson, the league's top dunker.

For the first dunk, he chose his teammates to help, let the 2.17-meter-tall center Charlotte stand under the basket and raise the basketball high above his head.

Everyone knows what Robinson wants to do, he wants to fly over Charlotte.

"The first dunk is a trapeze. It seems that Robinson is very confident."

Under normal circumstances, it is rare for the first dunk in a slam dunk contest to jump directly over the player. At this time, the player has not fully entered the economic state, and the physical function has not been adjusted to the best. Often, the player will use a single individual action to get himself into the state first, and then use a coordinated action in the subsequent dunk.

However, Robinson made a "big move" as soon as he came up.

Robinson, who is 1.99 meters tall, is a whole head shorter than Charlotte, who is 2.17 meters tall. Standing together, the difference in height is still very obvious.

In the recent slam dunk contests, there have been leaping players almost every time, but this is the first time a player has leaped 2.17 meters.

"It's too risky." Everyone was not very optimistic about Robinson's first dunk, because it was too difficult.

In the slam dunk contest, impression points account for a large proportion. If you dunk directly for the first time after a long time, the judges' impression points will naturally be high, and they will also focus on scoring.

With Richardson's 49 points in front, and Wilkins and Barrett behind, Robinson needs to keep the top three positions to enter the finals.

If the leap is successful, this deduction will definitely get full marks, but I am afraid that the deduction will not be scored.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Wilkins quipped before Robinson dunked.

"Do I have any other options?" The coordinating personnel are already in place, and changing actions at such a time is simply terrible.

"What if you fail? Then you may not make it to the final."

"I never thought of failure." Robinson responded domineeringly, "See you in the final."

Everyone waited with bated breath, wanting to see if Robinson could fly over Charlotte.

Robinson's run-up distance is very long, and the frequency of the run-up becomes more and more rapid as the distance shortens. Taking off with one foot at a pre-measured point, the whole person rises to a high altitude, gradually surpassing the top of Charlotte's head. Charlotte closes her eyes tightly, only feeling that there is a "monster" rising into the air behind her.

He clearly felt the pressure gradually shift from his back to the top of his head, and then passed over the top of his head.

At the same time, the basketball in his hand was also "robbed".

Charlotte finally dared to open her eyes, but was taken aback by the scene in front of her. Robinson's head had already surpassed the basket, and his shoulders were almost level with the backboard.

"He really did it."

The biggest difficulty of flying dunks is the jump. Robinson has successfully completed the task of flying over Charlotte, and the rest of the dunks are just what he is good at.

boom! ! ! !

Robinson blasts the basketball into the rim with both hands.Both hands hooked the basket and hung on it for a while.

Robinson successfully jumped the 2.17-meter-high tower, and it was clean, without any leverage or support, and he didn't even touch Charlotte.

"10 points!!!"

In the auditorium, the "10" score boards were displayed in unison.

The audience holding up the score board is just to release their inner emotions, and the score is given according to their own feelings, which are not included in the final score, but their emotions will more or less affect the judges' scoring.

Almost all the spectators present gave this dunk 10 points, even Wade and Mu Chenfeng held signs with 10 points.

"A very good dunk." Vince Carter couldn't wait to score, and gave 10 points early.

"How can the player who leaps 2.17 meters not give 10 points?" The referee gave his own points one after another, five 5 points.

Robinson got the first perfect score.

After seeing the score, Robinson looked very calm, as if all this was within his expectation.

The 50-point dunk somewhat put some pressure on the players who have not yet played.

Judging from the current state, there are four players who have the strength to enter the finals, but there are only three places in the finals, and one person is destined not to enter. Robinson’s first dunk is so wonderful. If he does not make mistakes in the second dunk, he will most likely advance with a full score. Wilkins and Barrett must score higher than Richardson if they want to guarantee advancement. But he scored 49 points in the first dunk.

Wilkins appeared on the stage, and he chose a 720° turn. He didn't even take off his warm-up jacket. He stood under the basket, knees down, took off on the spot, and his body quickly rotated for two weeks like a top.

The 720° dunk is a very rare dunk action. It is extremely difficult. Few people in the league can do it. It is usually done with a run-up, but Wilkins is in the "0" run-up. The 720° is light and easy.

Because the dunk was done so quickly, none of the five judges could react.

"Is it 720° just now?" O'Neill and the side confirmed to the staff. After getting an affirmative answer, O'Neill gave 10 points without hesitation. "I strongly suggest that we add an 11 points to our scoring key." O'Neill said jokingly.

Another neat 5 10 points, Wilkins' dunk is no less difficult than Robinson's trapeze.

The suspense of the final ranking of the first deduction remains on Barrett. At present, two full-score movements of strength have been born. Robinson and Wilkins are in very good form today, and Richardson is also showing his true qualities as a dark horse.

Barrett stood up from his chair, picked up a basketball beside him, and walked to the free throw line.

"Come on, come on!" Zach LaVine adjusted his sitting posture, looking forward to Barrett's dunk.

He is also the only player whose career has intersected with Barrett's. Barrett's dunk was recognized by LaVine.

Barrett stepped back from the free throw line, step by step, until he stepped back into the second half.

When Barrett stopped in the second half, the audience also guessed what kind of dunk he was going to make.

His first dunk was about to challenge that line.

Barrett exhaled lightly, dunked the basketball with the fingers of his right hand, started it, and rushed towards the free throw line at an extremely fast speed.
