Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 201
After the previous few competitions, the overall is quite happy.

When it was the turn of the slam dunk contest, the fans' attention was a bit strange. Since James and others directed and performed a "slam dunk contest" in the rookie game yesterday, everyone was looking forward to the players participating in the competition to respond. .

The judges are the Lakers Showtime team, Magic Johnson, Skyhook Kareem, Cobra Worthy, Jamal Wilkes and Norm Nixon.The popularity of this group of people in Los Angeles remains high, and the cheers won are far higher than those of the participating players on the field.

The first player to play was the famous Cavaliers Ricky Davis. Strictly speaking, he has exceeded the number of years stipulated by the league. He should not have participated in this dunk contest. The slam dunk contest even failed to gather 4 contestants for a time, so Ricky Davis had to be asked to fill in the number.

Wearing the green jersey of the Celtics, Ricky Davis, who is known for his fierce dunks, performed his rebound stunt. After throwing the ball to the backboard, he caught the ball and turned around 360 degrees. The degree of difficulty alone , The ball was not low, and even LeBron James on the sidelines temporarily put away his smile and watched the performance of "Big Brother".

It's a pity that the reality is a bit cruel. Ricky Davis's dunk unfortunately popped up. For the second dunk, he lowered the difficulty for the sake of safety.

It's Haislip's turn to play. With his height of 2 meters, he doesn't have much advantage in the slam dunk contest. There is no bright spot when he turns 08 degrees and folds his hands to buckle.Only got 180 points.

The next player to play is Fred Jones. His movements are unremarkable. After throwing the ball high, it bounces off the ground. The dunks of the two players were too mediocre, and this relatively crisper dunk scored 50 points.

Nicholson on the sidelines was wearing tea-colored glasses with question marks all over his face. Does this get full marks?

Not only Nicholson, after the magician and others scored a perfect score, the audience booed everywhere, and Fred Jones could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"I guess Erwin and the others have discussed it. Fred Jones' performance in the finals last year helped us a lot. He was our undercover agent. Otherwise, there is no reason for this dunk to score 50 points. Possibly the worst perfect dunk in history." This is the only reasonable explanation for this score.

Jason Richardson made his final appearance. He should have the biggest wrist among the four contestants. He also won the slam dunk title, but that time was the result of the league's brainstorming and changing the competition system.

Richardson went behind the backboard, barely had a run-up, and unleashed a windmill dunk with a nice round swing, but that was about it.

This relatively mediocre dunk scored the same 45 points as Ricky Davis.

After a short break, the camera panned to Julius Erwin appearing in the auditorium. Dr. J shook his head helplessly, the dunk contest is getting worse every year.

In the second round, Ricky Davis was still the first to appear on the court. He chose the baseline run-up, took off under the basket, half-turned and changed hands under the crotch, and dunked with both hands.

If it can be dunked, the difficulty of this ball is not bad, at least it is much more difficult than Fred Jones's nonsensical one-handed dunk. Unfortunately, Ricky Davis failed to withstand the pressure and dunked twice. All failed.Only scored 31 points.

It was Haislip's turn. Before going on the court this time, he had an impromptu exchange with his teammate, former slam dunk king Desmond Mason.

Obviously, this exchange had an effect. Haislip decided not to play tricks that he was not good at, and simply showed his physical fitness. He asked his teammate TJ Ford to help him throw the ball high. Taking off one step ahead of the free throw line, catching the ball with both hands and violently blowing up the basket, the air posture is extremely stretched.

After deliberation, the jury gave this dunk a perfect score of 50 points. The magician showed a characteristic smile. Maybe he was too hasty in scoring the perfect score for Fred Jones just now?

The pressure came to Fred Jones, who stood beyond the right three-point line, dribbled toward the hoop, only to collect the ball early, take three steps and take off awkwardly, with both hands after a small drawbar at the basket. Back kicking, the movement was neither sufficient nor coordinated. After landing, Jones posed towards the audience, but the audience was on the phone on their own.

The dunk scored 42 points and put Ricky Davis out of the game.

Jason Richardson needs to score more than 45 points to guarantee the promotion, which is thanks to Haislip's poor first dunk.

However, as the poor man's version of Carter, Richardson still has two brushes. He walked to the free throw line calmly, threw the ball on the backboard, and after taking off to catch the rebound, he changed hands and dunked under the crotch. Richardson-style dunks, dunking difficult balls with complex movements and twisted postures.

"It's a pity that this is a slam dunk contest, not a gymnastics competition, otherwise J-Rich's dunk will definitely win at the starting line, and his difficulty factor is always 5 stars." Seeing that a decent dunk finally appeared, the silence was slightly ignited For the sake of the home atmosphere, Jim gave Richardson's dunk an evaluation.

The dunk deservedly earned 50 points, so Hayslip was out and Richardson and Jones would be fighting for the dunk title.

Fred Jones still chooses the method of throwing the ball high, because his ability to combine the ball is not good, and he cannot reach the optimal height when taking off with the ball, but this time the performance is quite wonderful. Tomahawk dunk.It turned 180 degrees more than the previous perfect dunk.

The previous slam dunk was given full marks, so of course this slam dunk can only be given full marks. The magician and the others dug their own holes, so he had to jump even if he had to bite the bullet.

And Richardson became the unlucky ghost. The 50 points put a little pressure on him. He tried to use the difficult coefficient of the air-throw ball to catch the ball and change hands while turning around 360 degrees. The windmill dunked with one hand After the failure, Richardson had to reduce the difficulty and used a similar action to Ricky Davis's first dunk, scoring the same 45 points as Ricky Davis.

Fred Jones' second dunk was given to a friend in the audience. The friend threw the ball in from outside the court, and he dunked it alley-oop. In terms of difficulty, it wasn't that big of a deal. It was just an idea that came up on the spot. It was a test of tacit understanding. After the first dunk failed, the second dunk, Fred Jones' jumping height did not meet the dunk requirement at all. He touched the ball with his hand, but pointed the ball into the basket.

This poor performance can't help but remind people of Darrell Armstrong back then. After a run-up throughout the court, he made a powerful one-handed layup.

Fred Jones scored a little better than 30 with 36 because the ball went in.

With a total of 86 points, Jason Richardson can win the slam dunk title as long as he completes a similar dunk at random, but Richardson is obviously a person who has a backbone and wants to save face. Instead, he resorted to a five-star air-throwing bomb and 360-degree turn and arm dunk after catching the ball.

The spirit was commendable, but the ending was brutal. Richardson's attempt ultimately failed, and the dunk king was given to Fred Jones.
