Chapter 218 The Slam Dunk Contest Begins

Taking a deep breath, Steve Nash began his challenge amidst the slight boos.

First is a chic layup.

Steve Nash is the kind of player with very distinctive personal characteristics. He is the kind of player who can be seen as him just by looking at the silhouette. It can also be seen from this layup.

This is a football field full of driving layups.

After completing the layup, Steve Nash began to run around the obstacle without any problems at all, and easily reached the passing zone. This was a big problem for the previous players. None of Derrick Rose, Westbrook, and Jennings passed this level at once, but this was no problem for Steve Nash.

With a simple chest pass, Steve Nash manages to get the ball into the hoop, clearing the hurdle very cleanly.

Then there are free throws, which is not difficult for Steve Nash.

Steve Nash's pull-up jumper after receiving the ball was already a must.

With a "swish", Steve Nash easily threw the ball into the basket.

Then it was another pass, still one pass.

Steve Nash showed the solid basic skills of the older generation of point guards.

Then he ran around obstacles, and finally Steve Nash successfully completed a layup and completed all the challenges. This whole series of movements was so smooth that the audience cheered loudly.

This is the player who has completed all the levels with almost no issues so far.

Steve Nash thus obtained the best result so far: 29.8 seconds.

call!
not bad.

When Steve Nash saw the results, he was secretly relieved.

Before he started the challenge, he had a rare nervousness...he really wanted to play well at this home court.

Now, he has also succeeded.

Look!

The city will still cheer because of me.

Watching the enthusiastic cheers for him from the audience, Steve Nash murmured silently in his heart. For him, this was what he expected to happen.

The group of fans who booed Steve Nash before starting the challenge also watched Steve Nash walk back to his seat with mixed expressions. The real reason they couldn't let go of Steve Nash was that he would have been the best No. [-] on the Mavericks. His prime should have been witnessed by them...not like now, they became clowns.

Do they want Steve Nash out of the Mavericks?

Obviously they don't want to...

Steve Nash left the field, and Lin Ri and Stephen Curry stepped forward to give him a high-five.

"It's too fast!"

"???"

Stephen Curry sent his heartfelt congratulations. He just watched the whole process without blinking, because the whole process of Steve Nash on the court was so smooth.

It's like a novel with climaxes one after another, the kind where you can read to the end in one breath...

Listening to Stephen Curry's exclamation, Steve Nash looked a little weird. The words were good, but why did they sound weird?
After Steve Nash, Deron Williams also played, as the last challenger of the challenge, he did not have too much tension.

In fact, in this kind of competition, the person who comes out at the end is often not too nervous, because other people's results are hanging there. He knows what kind of results he needs to get to enter the finals, he knows it in his heart!

So, don't be nervous at all.

It is also because he has a bottom line in his heart. Deron Williams can be seen from the first movement after he came on the court.

In the end, he also easily entered the final circle with a time of 30.1 seconds.

Immediately after his results came out, Westbrook looked a little disappointed. Deron Williams' results meant that he missed the finals.

Hey ~
Some dissatisfaction appeared on the face of "God Turtle".

He came to participate in this skills challenge, in order to show others a different version of himself, so that everyone's impression of him is no longer an offensive number one with a very strong desire to attack!

Of course, looking at it now, he clearly failed.

Wait until next year!

Westbrook said something in his heart.

Although he lost, it doesn't mean that Westbrook gave up the idea of ​​proving his solid basic skills. He will come back tomorrow!

Then the finals of the skills challenge officially began.

Derrick Rose was still the first to play. I have to say that his state tonight is really not good, and he did not recover after the preliminaries. He once again failed to score three passes in passing.

It was also after three missed passes that Derrick Rose's entire mentality was obviously affected.

He just saw very clearly that Steve Nash and Deron Williams passed the ball directly...

He is now stuck on the pass again, does that mean anything more?

Derrick Rose's mentality was obviously affected, and he missed many shots in the next shots. In the end, he only got 44.4 seconds.

No matter where this result is placed, it is impossible to win the championship.

Fortunately, Derrick Rose was only a little lost, and then quickly adjusted.

When he came this time, his goal was to enter the final, not defend the title. Now that he has succeeded, he really has nothing to regret.

Derrick Rose comforted himself, and then he was even more relieved after seeing Steve Nash's results: Can't win, can't win, losing is normal, normal.

Steve Nash's time in the final was 28.1 seconds, which was better than his preliminaries.

How can you win!

Derrick Rose muttered something in his heart.

After Steve Nash saw the results this time, his whole mood changed from the calmness just now, and became very excited.

It was just the preliminaries, no matter how good the results are, it is only a stepping stone to the finals, and there are still finals to go!This is Steve Nash's idea, and it also makes him not have much reason to be excited just now.

But it's different now. This result is very promising to be the champion of this year's Skills Challenge. Steve Nash came here for this. Can he not be excited?

"You're so fast, Steve!"

"..."

He also once again heard Stephen Nash congratulate him.

It still sounds a little uncomfortable!
Especially when he is 36 years old, it is even more uncomfortable to hear this.

The Mavericks fans on the sidelines also looked more complicated at the moment.

Steve Nash's performance is not much different from rubbing salt in their wounds.

It's the same feeling as seeing your predecessor's life better than now.

It turned out that the clown was really me.

Some people are happy and some are not.

Deron Williams was the last one to play, and it was obviously not so easy for him to play this time.

In the preliminaries, he only had the last two scores in his eyes, as long as he was higher than them, but now it is different, and now he has to see Steve Nash's 28.1 seconds in his eyes.

This made him stressed.

The result of the doubled pressure is that Deron Williams' performance in the final is obviously not as good as his performance in the preliminaries.

He only ran 31.4 seconds this time.

"Congratulations Steve, you're the fastest!"

Curry sent congratulations to Steve at the first time.

I am not fast!
I am not fast!
Steve Nash yelled in his heart.

Then, as he made his way to the podium, a loud cheer erupted from the sidelines as Steve Nash lifted the Skills Challenge trophy aloft.

He had already won this award once, but this time he was even more excited.

After all, this time he won the award in Dallas, and this alone is enough to make him excited.

"Excited to receive this award, especially on this stage, I have fought here before, and these will be part of my career, to win a trophy on this stage again, is an amazing thing, I don't think I will forget this journey, it's great, it feels like everyone, thank you!"

He also expressed his thoughts on the court very truthfully, he just wants to lift the trophy in Dallas!
After he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

All fans know what he wants to say!
And now, he really did it!

It's a wonderful "movie", so it deserves applause.

Amidst the not-so-short cheers, the staff at the scene quickly set up the scene, and the "Slam Dunk Contest" on the second day of the All-Stars is about to begin!
"It's my turn, OK, OK, one time is enough!"

Under the signal of the staff, Lin Ri stood up from his seat, and Stephen Curry and James Harden, who were sitting next to him, stood up one after another to cheer him on.

At the same time as he stood up, there was now a huge cheer.

Hearing the cheers, he knew that this was something the fans had been looking forward to for a long time!

When Lin Ri played, Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson and others also began to prepare-Lin Ri was the first to play.

"I don't know how the order was arranged. The sun is the first to buckle. How can the others perform?" Barkley saw Lin Ri playing first, and suddenly shouted. In his opinion, the best performance should be at the end!
Kenny Smith did not refute his meaning this time, because his point of view is similar to that of Barkley, and he also believes that guys like Lin Ri should be the last "big meal"!
However, now that this is the case, all they can do is to wait quietly.

Lin Ri, what kind of performance will he perform with the first ball in the slam dunk contest?

At this time, all the people have only this idea in their heads.

Lin Ri first put some chalk powder on his hand to increase the friction between his hand and the ball.

Then he turned his eyes to the auditorium, and everyone's eyes followed his. Steve Nash, who had just won the Skills Challenge Championship, was dribbling a basketball onto the field with his feet.

Is it!

What did the fans at the scene think of.

That can be regarded as a classic picture of the NBA dunk contest.

When Amare Stoudemire participated in the slam dunk contest, he invited Steve Nash to pass the ball to him, and then Steve Nash uniquely assisted the latter with an overhead pass to complete the dunk. The classic picture was born.

Now, Steve Nash once again dribbled the basketball onto the court, which made all the fans think of the classic cooperation between Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash!
Facts have proved that everyone is right, Steve Nash and Lin Ri are indeed going to perform that classic dunk.

Lin Ri nodded towards Steve Nash from two or three steps away from the three-point line, and after getting the latter's response, he rushed towards the basket.

His offensive was very fierce, and it immediately aroused cheers from everyone.

It's just that no one thought that the place where Lin Ri took off was actually the free throw line!

I saw Lin Ri stepping on the free throw line and jumping directly, and then flew towards the basket with his whole body.

While he was jumping, Steve Nash was also proficient at picking up the ball with his feet. After reaching the height of his head, he lightly hit it with his head, and the ball flew in the direction of Lin Ri.

The whole movement is called smooth.

It made many fans feel "it's a pity that this guy doesn't play football".

"Snapped!"

The ball was caught by Lin Ri and smashed into the basket hard.

"Bah!"

This is a "free throw line catch and fly dunk" action.

Because it was a one-time success, there were huge cheers at the scene.

On the referee's seat, all "50" points were quickly raised.

There is one thing to say, this action is still quite difficult. If it is just a dunk from the free throw line, it is not a difficult thing for a big player.

But the problem is that he still has a movement to catch the ball, which makes him have to make some movements in the air. The stretch of movement has always been a measure of whether a big player's dunk looks good or not.

After Lin Ri just received the ball, his wide-open dunk action showed his body coordination and his overall strength perfectly.

Naturally, it is not a problem to get a uniform score of "50".

And after he dunked, Barkley also nodded secretly, with a look of "I said, let this guy dunk as soon as he comes up, how can others play?"

It wasn't just Barkley who thought so. Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson, and Shannon Brown, who were watching Lin Ri's first dunk, were stunned.

Especially Nate Robinson, this slam dunk contest he is rushing to become the first "Triple Crown" in the history of the slam dunk contest, but the problem is that if he wants to win the championship, there is a necessary condition, that is, his opponent cannot be too perverted.

Short players don’t have many moves. The most attractive thing about them is that they can complete dunks after taking off, which resonates with guys of their height.

But the problem now is... a perversion has appeared.

Then how to play!
