The rise of basketball legends

After two dunks, according to the 4-to-2 slam dunk contest rule, Chen Yan and Howard entered the finals hand in hand.

Nate Robinson left the field sadly. He had an idea before the game. In the final, he flew over Howard wearing a fluorescent green jersey for a dunk. Now it seems that it is useless.

For the first dunk in the final, Chen Yan came first.

With the two dunks in the preliminaries, everyone is full of expectations for Chen Yan, and everyone wants to see what new tricks this guy has.

Chen Yan did not disappoint the fans either. He once again showed off a dunk that the fans had never seen before.

Chen Yan trotted for a while, then suddenly smashed the ball to the ground, then raised his leg, Chen Yan followed the trick of the ball bouncing up and jumped at the same time!

However, Chen Yan took off a little earlier and failed the first dunk.

This ball is very creative, but it requires proficiency. The height of the rebound and the timing of the take-off are very particular. It is almost impossible to complete this dunk.

Chen Yan didn't do much practice before the game, but fortunately, he stabilized his mentality for the second dunk, and after receiving the rebound from the ground, he blasted the ball cleanly and decisively into the basket with thunderous force! After landing, Chen Yan did not forget to pose for the camera to solicit votes. The rules of the finals of this slam dunk contest are different from previous ones. The champion is not determined by the judges' scoring, but by the audience sending text messages to vote.

Howard came on the stage later. His dunk action was also done by himself. After a run-up from the baseline, he lightly tossed the ball. The ball hit the edge of the basket and rebounded. basket!

Howard's take-off height is very scary, the top of his head has surpassed the basket, if there are judges, this is estimated to be a 50-point dunk.

After landing, Howard performed a hot dance from the camera.

Barkley said with a smile: "Both of them performed very hard. After all, this year's slam dunk contest is voted by the audience, and there is no need to look at the faces of the judges."

Kenny Smith also laughed: "Hahaha, acting is also part of the slam dunk contest."

After Howard's performance, it was Chen Yan's turn to appear again.

This is Chen Yan's last dunk in this year's slam dunk contest, and the fans in the American West Arena stood up to watch.

Chen Yan waved his hands, and the scene burst into warm applause and cheers. Chen Yan gave full play to the advantage of the home game.

Amid the shouts of the fans, Chen Yan's adrenaline surged!

Dribble, run, jump!

Chen Yan spun like a top in the air.

360 dunk?

No, it's 720 degrees!

Chen Yan completed a 720-degree spiral dunk, and it was a success!

"Wtf!!!!? Wtf?!!"

"Great Gift Crab! Great Gift Crab!!"

Barkley and Kenny Smith were too shocked to speak, and could only express their shock with some modal particles.

James, Wade, and Paul, who were watching the game from the sidelines, dropped the scoring cards in their hands to the ground.

The scoring board is a prop for the audience to entertain. Whenever a player dunks a wonderful dunk, he will always turn the scoring board in his hand to 10 points. Chen Yan's dunk just now obviously has no need for scoring.

Even Dayao, who has always been restrained, covered his head and kept shaking his head, his expression seemed to say that this tm is a slam dunk made by a human?

O'Neal's reaction was the funniest among all the stars. He turned over and waved to the fans behind him: "Go home, don't watch it, the game is over, just give him the award!"

Although O'Neal's words are exaggerated, it is a true portrayal of the fans' hearts. No matter what moves Howard makes, he can't shake the 720-degree dunk in the hearts of the fans.

Howard himself felt the same way, but this was a game and he had to make the last dunk.

Howard let the spectators and fans in the backcourt step back, almost clearing a full distance for him, and then he took a long-distance approach and took off from a position within one step of the free throw line to complete the dunk.

Michael Jordan and Rick Barry both used it in the slam dunk contest, and it's nothing new for Howard to use again.

Chen Yan and Howard were interviewed by Reggie Miller's sister, Cheryl Miller, while they waited for the results of the vote.

Howard grinned and said, "Tonight's slam dunk contest has a great atmosphere. I had a great time. The buddy next to me is incredible. His dunk moves really shocked me, especially the last 720 degrees." Dunk, I once doubted my eyes."

Chen Yan said with a smile: "I come to the slam dunk contest for one purpose, and that is to play something different. As for whether I can win the championship, I will leave it to the fans to judge."

A few minutes later, the voting results came out. With 81% of the votes, Chen Yan won the first slam dunk contest championship trophy in his career without any suspense!

"He's so handsome!" Yui Aragaki, who was in the stands, couldn't help shouting after seeing Chen Yan's pair of cups.

"He's really charming." Aimi Higa nodded and said.

Two Japanese actresses also came to the slam dunk contest. This has nothing to do with Chen Yan, but the gossip media did not let go of this opportunity. The news about Chen Yan inviting Yui Aragaki to watch the slam dunk contest was flying all over the sky. This made Chen Yan and Taylor Swift The relationship further dropped to freezing point.

This seriously affected Chen Yan's mood. During the All-Star training the next day, Kobe saw that Chen Yan was in a bad mood. In the past two days, he also saw reports about Chen Yan's scandal. During the break, Kobe went to Chen Yan. before.

"Don't let this kind of thing affect the performance on the field, we are professional players."

Just as Chen Yan wanted to nod his head to express his agreement with Kobe's thoughts, Kobe suddenly added another sentence: "This is a very normal thing, and Shaq did it too."

Chen Yan: "..."

Chen Yan felt that he had never been so speechless in his life. Some scandals spread and became true. The most outrageous thing was that Chen Yan only met Aragaki Yui once, and he didn't even have her phone number.

Fortunately, the focus of the media today is not on Chen Yan. After the Western Conference training, there is a familiar face on the court.

O'Neal, who participated in the All-Star team on behalf of the East, appeared on the training ground, and the players took turns to greet him, except for Kobe.

After the two looked at each other, Kobe took the initiative to stand up and show his goodwill, the media immediately pointed the camera at the two, and the OK group reconciled. This is a historic moment!

O'Neal also gave Kobe a lot of face, and O'Neal gave him a big hug without hesitation. The former "ok" combination, after splitting up in 2004, finally reunited and embraced in front of everyone.

"Hey buddy, how are you?"

"Everything is fine, how about you?"

In front of the flashing lights one after another, the two chatted happily. Although there was a bit of an acting element, this was the beginning of their reconciliation.

I have to say that time can indeed heal many things. Two people who used to be incompatible with each other can now gather together to talk and laugh happily. This is something that many people dare not even think about.

"When we reunited and met Phil, I was really happy. We have been old friends for so many years and have many common memories..." O'Neill said with emotion.

Kobe on the side nodded again and again: "Yes, when we hugged together, it seemed to be back to the time of the Lakers."

The meeting between the two will of course remind people of the grievances and grievances that happened between them in the past. O'Neill explained with a smile: "There has never been any real conflict. Many times, fans are misled."

It's rare for Chen Yan not to be the leading role in the Phoenix All-Stars. All the scenes today were taken away by the ok group.

But that's good, otherwise the reporters would definitely gossip around him and ask non-stop.

Just when Chen Yan was about to go back, O'Neill squeezed out of the crowd after the interview and walked up to Chen Yan.

"Chen, enjoy the main game tonight and don't be disturbed by off-court factors."

After Chen Yan nodded, O'Neill leaned over to him and whispered, "It's just a matter of men and women. Take it easy, Kobe did it too."
