The annual NBA All-Star Game is an integral part of the NBA.The All-Star Weekend is a time for players from various NBA teams to rest.

During this period of time, heal your wounds, take a rest, and relax.Even players who participate in the All-Star game will not really tire themselves out. The All-Star game, whether it is an individual event or a main game, is more about entertainment, and winning is second. The important thing is Have fun and keep the fans entertained.For the All-Star bigwigs, after all, there will not be much bonus to the resume or historical status of a star because of the MVP of the All-Star Game.

Those selected for the Rookie Challenge of the All-Star Game had to take a group photo with those in the main game. Ying Xiong stood next to Paul Pierce and took his first photo for the main game with a smile.

Because Ying Xiong wants to participate in the slam dunk contest and the All-Star Game, he can't take a short-term vacation like other players who have no competition tasks.He's not that keen on vacations, and it's not the offseason, and it's easy to cause serious consequences if he completely relaxes himself.

Because of the hosting of the NBA All-Star Game, Orlando suddenly became much more popular. Many fans flocked from all over the country, making the city's population suddenly much larger.

In the arrangement of the All-Star Weekend, the Rookie Challenge will start at the earliest, followed by the individual competitions, and finally the All-Star Competition.This is in line with the order of meals, eat the first meal first, and leave the big meal behind.

This year's All-Star Rookie Challenge will be restructured and will be held in a completely different form from the past. Specifically, a mixed team of first-year and second-year students will be used to fight against each other.

Ying Xiong watched this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge. While feeling the vitality of the young people in the league, he also felt that time passed quickly.You must know that two full years have passed since I participated in the Rookie Challenge.In two years, I transferred from the Bucks to the Mavericks. This season, I signed with the Raptors as a free agent. I have been with 3 teams in a blink of an eye.

In the end, Kyrie Irving, the No. [-] pick from the Cavaliers, was awarded the MVP of this Rookie Challenge.

On February 2, the 26 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest officially started.

A total of 4 people participated in this slam dunk contest, namely Chase Budinger of the Rockets, Paul George of the Pacers, rookie Derek Williams of the Timberwolves and Ying Xiong of the Toronto Raptors.This year's rules have been changed, there are no judges, no preliminaries and finals, each has three dunk opportunities.

The slam dunk contest has always been the most eye-catching single event. Before each slam dunk contest starts, the wonderful dunks from previous dunk contests will be played on the big screen at the scene, which is easy to watch.

Counting the champions of the slam dunk contest, from the first champion Larry Nance to the "Flying Man" Michael Jordan, to the "half-human, half-god" Vince Carter, and then to "Little Potato" Nate Robinson... The slam dunk contest is due to various reasons , is declining day by day, and fewer and fewer famous stars are willing to accept the invitation of the organizers to participate in this ancient individual event.

On the one hand, it is becoming more and more difficult to create dunks, because many actions have been done by others. It is too difficult to create new dunks; The on-site buckle was also good, which made many famous players reluctant to participate.For example, LeBron James has repeatedly refused the invitation of the organizer to participate in the slam dunk contest. For him, winning a slam dunk contest will not add any valuable honor to himself. If he misses, he will be laughed at.

The four players participating in this slam dunk contest are all more than 4 meters tall, and their bodies are very close, which made the fans exclaimed "so cool!".

If you want to get high scores in the current slam dunk contest, creativity and viewing are indispensable.It is also a windmill dunk, if you add some other elements, or cooperate with an assister, the evaluation will be higher than that of a single windmill dunk.Of course, if you can dunk to Carter's level, even if you don't have a very good idea, you can still get a high score.

In terms of appreciation, it is nothing more than the difficulty of dunking, the height of the flight, and the power of dunking.The 360-degree windmill turning around is naturally more difficult than the direct windmill, and why Carter's dunk score is so high, because he is a combination of difficulty, height, and dunk strength.

Ying Xiong is the only yellow race among the 4 players participating in the slam dunk contest, and also the only Asian.In the history of the NBA, no Asian player has won the slam dunk contest.In addition, he is the only All-Star player of the 4 races.In an environment where most of the players participating in the slam dunk contest are first-year or second-year rookies, an all-star player from China is participating, and the sense of topic alone is enough.

The fans at the scene applauded Ying Xiong's appearance, and they expected this yellow-skinned player to bring surprises to everyone.

The game started soon.

First buckle:
Chase Budinger was the first to play, and he declared a successful dunk for the first time, flying over the head of the assist.In the slam dunk contest, one success is naturally worth more points than multiple attempts.

Ying Xiong came on the field for the second time. He didn't look for a helper. He was standing in the center circle holding the ball—the fans seemed to think of something... Suddenly, the dunk hadn't started yet, and some players started screaming...

Ying Xiong turned on the hidden attribute, he held the ball and began to sprint, and when he was half a step outside the 3-point line, he started to take 3 steps... Before the last step to take off, he switched to the bird pose, and his left foot just stepped on the free throw About 10cm away from the line!
Jump and dunk from the free throw line! ! !
When all the fans thought that Ying Xiong was going to jump and dunk from the free throw line like Dr. J, Jordan, and Brent Barry, Ying Xiong's performance shocked the fans: he actually swung his arms in the air...

Big windmill at the free throw line! ! !

Before the big windmill, Ying Xiong had already switched to the tiger style. From the elegance of the bird style to the power and arrogance of the tiger style, he actually presented two kinds of beauty in one dunk, which is simply indescribable.

After Yingxiong's windmill dunk was completed, the basketball hoop kept vibrating because of his dunk, which shows the strength of it!
The fans at the scene were all moved. After a silence of about 1 second, there was thunderous applause at the scene.This dunk is very difficult and requires excellent bounce and airborne ability.Unexpectedly, Ying Xiong was able to complete it so perfectly and so well!

Many fans at the scene have forgotten the specific action of Budinger's dunk just now, and they don't care about Paul George's next dunk.
