As soon as the All-Star roster was released, everyone was looking forward to seeing the start of the East-West matchup.However, when everyone looked at the slam dunk contest list, disappointment quickly filled their chests.

No!Not even!
Unfortunately, the Slam Dunk Contest of the Century, which has been talked about for almost three years, still failed this time.

Without Li Nan, without Vince Carter, is this slam dunk contest still a slam dunk contest?And, even without them, why didn't Francis and McGrady, who were so brilliant last year, not have it?
Then, some media started to make trouble.

Some media said that Li Nan was afraid of losing, some media said that Carter was discouraged, and more lamented "regret".

But at this time, a topic quietly arises:

"If Lee and Vince were in the dunk contest, who would win?"

People from all walks of life in the media also expressed their opinions.

Michael Wilbur of The Washington Post: "Vince will win!"

"Vince's official height is 198 cm, with a wingspan of 218 cm. His maximum jumping height is 111 cm. Height and wingspan plus jumping, this is a set of near-perfect numbers. With a jumping height of 111, Vince can easily complete it. A lot of slam dunks. But one of the most critical numbers is the wingspan of 218. This kind of wingspan makes Vince's dunks really stretch. Even ordinary dunks, he can dunk pleasing to the eye. Vince His dunk is the first in history!"

Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune: "Vince Carter!"

"I like Vince's dunk very much, and many, many fans like it. It is a combination of actual combat and performance. His dunk gives us the artistic enjoyment of strength and beauty. The strong visual impact brought by his stretched dunk action , it's easy to get excited. Vince's dunk is unmatched."

The Sun's Lacey Banks: "Vince wins!"

"In last year's slam dunk contest, Vince's outstanding performance is still vivid in my mind. In terms of dunking, no one can surpass Vince's height, no one! There is no one before, and no one after!"

Herald's Kent McDeer: "Of course Lee will win!"

"If Vince's dunks give people the feeling of strength and beauty, then Li's dunks are beautiful, full of skillful beauty, very difficult beauty, extremely creative beauty, and elegant beauty! Two people I like both dunks. In my opinion, they are evenly matched.

However, if it was a dunk contest, Li would definitely win.

why?Because of Lee's creativity.

The dunk skills of the two are evenly matched, but Vince will lose in the creativity of his movements.That is to say, if the two are really facing off in the dunk contest, then they will definitely have a lot of perfect scores, and the final decision depends on creativity.In terms of creativity, Li is even better.

Therefore, in the slam dunk contest of the century between the two, Lee defeated Vince Carter with a slight advantage in the end. "

Pooh of the Sports Herald: "Lee will win!"

Posted photos of actual dunks in the 76ers vs. Raptors game the year before.At that time, in the actual dunk contest that was hyped up, Li completely defeated Vince.

"Although he didn't participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Lee had already won against Carter. Facts speak louder than words!"

An endless debate continued to ferment, and Vince Carter and Li Nan, who were voted kings, were constantly mentioned.

Some people supported Carter, some supported Li Nan, many people said it was a tie, and more people sighed, with voices of regret everywhere.

There are always regrets in life, and this may be one of them.
In such an atmosphere, the attendance of the Nuggets and Raptors seems to have improved slightly.

I couldn't see the two dunking in the dunk contest, so I went to the regular season of the two to enjoy it.

The fans watching the Raptors game are naturally excited. Vince Carter really has a lot of dunks in every game, and you are really wonderful.

Fans who watched the Nuggets game were a little disappointed.Li Nan's dunks are very rare, and the technique is even simpler.Then, the fans watching the Nuggets game also returned to their original level, with an attendance rate of [-] to [-]%.

The general manager of the Nuggets, Vince, also found Li Nan, and hoped that Li Nan could have more exciting performances.

Li Nan didn't answer, but asked instead: "Manager Vince, do you want the team to go further, or do you want the team to increase the current attendance rate and make more money?"

Manager Vince thought for a moment.

"make money!"

To make money, this is for Li Nan to show off his skills on the court and attract more fans like Carter.

However, Li Nan didn't want to dunk like that every day on the court. It would be good to have one or two dunks a game to boost morale. It's really meaningless to dunk for the sake of dunking.

"Manager Vince, if we win the championship, we will earn more money."
