Legend of Tomorrow

? Jones’s last dunk was more creative. He first threw the ball to his friend in the audience, asked his friend to throw the ball back from the audience, and then dunked in an alley-oop.

The idea was there, but it was too difficult. Jones’ friend was not a super point guard, so how could the pass be so accurate? He failed the first two times. The third time his hand touched the ball and the ball bounced into the basket. Since it was not a dunk, it could only be considered a failure.

The judges did not give Jones another chance to try, and directly showed the score. He only scored 36 points, which caused dissatisfaction among the fans, and some people booed.

The fans haven't seen enough exciting dunks yet. They hope that the two will have the same score and go to overtime. Only four dunks ended too quickly. As soon as Guo Xu came on the stage, this dissatisfaction disappeared and the fans began to applaud. They had a hunch that Guo Xu's last dunk would not be easy.

This time Guo Xu called his teammate Nene, who was coming to participate in the rookie game, to the court and asked him to stand under the basket, ready to unleash the real big move. His previous two dunks were not difficult, but the last one was a bit difficult.

Xu Jicheng said: What is he trying to do? Is he trying to jump over Nene's body?

Zhang Lili smiled and said: Isn't that right? Nene's height is 211cm, which is too high. This is different from jumping over Pillar. I think only Carter can fly over this height in the NBA.

Xu Jicheng said: He seems to be serious and is testing the distance.

The audience watched in amazement as Guo Xu repeatedly ran up and jumped up gently, looking for the best starting position.

After several attempts, Guo Xu started dunking officially. Nene turned his back and stood under the basket in the posture of standing against the wall in a football game, with his head lowered. Guo Xu accelerated and rushed over, showing people his qinggong.

This is indeed Qinggong, because after jumping up, he put his left hand on Nene's shoulder, relied on the force of support to jump up a little higher, and at the same time jumped over Nene's body with one hand and one hand. The deduction was successful.

This action is almost exactly the same as Nate Robinson's dunk over Warcraft Howard in the previous life, which is a trick. People have overlooked this. Seeing a small guard leaping over the center is very satisfying to the senses.

The entire audience applauded, and the judges gave another perfect score of 50. Guo Xu got his wish and became the 2004 Slam Dunk Contest champion, with four perfect scores.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: Tonight's game was so exciting. The most lacking thing in the slam dunk contest is creativity. Everyone said before that it was impossible to come up with new tricks. That's because Guo Xu didn't participate.

Xu Jicheng said: This slam dunk contest is worthy of being recorded in history. Guo Xu is very imaginative.

He's such a genius.

When receiving the trophy, Guo Xu was very excited. He had been preparing for this day for too long. Sure enough, as Chicken Soup for the Soul said, the opportunity to pretend is reserved for those who are prepared. He remembered many perfect dunks he had seen in his previous life, and practiced them in a targeted manner.

The reporter interviewed on the spot and asked: When you first entered the league, everyone said you were a floor player. When did you develop your jumping skills?

Guo Xu smiled and said: Actually, I have been practicing my jumping. When I went to the Lakers for the physical test, my jumping ability was not bad. After several years of training, I have made some progress.

The reporter asked: Since you are so good at jumping, why did you rarely dunk in the first three seasons?

When I first entered the league, I was afraid of getting injured, so I used a floor-flow style of play. Many people thought I couldn't dunk. This year Amare wanted to participate in the dunk contest. A group of people often dunked during training, which aroused my interest.

The reporter asked: You can dunk but you are afraid of getting hurt? Are you not afraid that others will think you are weak?

I'm just soft when it comes to playing. Didn't you see that I mainly shoot three-pointers? When I rush in, I also hide and hit. There are many tough guys in the league. I am not missing one, right? Guo Xu answered confidently.

Why is a point guard so tough? Are you sick?

The American media has a habit of saying that if a player in any position can dunk without dunking or avoid fighting without confrontation, they will call you weak, as if players cannot play basketball well without using their muscles.

If you like to play rugby and ice hockey so much to build your muscles, why do you play basketball?

In fact, no matter which position in the NBA, the ones who are injured are always the tough guys, who are quick to kill. The only exception is probably Malone, who usually hurts others.

Almost all superstars play basketball for health. In Guo Xu's previous life, James would hold back and play. After the age of 30, he has practiced shooting and reduced breakthroughs. The simplest example is that several violent point guards were injured before, and Stockton, who never dunked, played until the age of 41.

The reporter asked: What was your original intention in participating in the dunk contest?

I saw many fans on the Internet saying that the slam dunk contest is boring. No stars are willing to participate. I want to show them some of my tricks, so I came. But I usually don't dunk too much. Please understand.

Everyone applauded together again. How could people not like the superstar who came to perform for the fans?

Online fans started a discussion that night. Guo Xu's performance was in sharp contrast to Carter, who said dunks are overrated, and James, who said no more dunks in the dunk contest.

Although Carter's dunk was beautiful, he really couldn't compare to Jason Guo in terms of creativity. This dunk contest was so exciting.

James is right not to participate in the dunk contest. He just jumps high and can't beat Jason Guo.

I think Jason created a new genre in basketball - pseudo-floor style.

He has already won all the Star Weekend Challenge Championships. I wonder if he will participate in the Slam Dunk Contest in the future? Don't be like Carter.

The outside rookies all had some insights after watching the dunk contest. Many of them felt that they should learn from Guo Xu and be softer at ordinary times.

Guo Xu's attendance rate is particularly high. If he was injured in the Lakers in the first two seasons, it would be a completely different development. He handed over the offensive task to the OK combination and mainly shot three-pointers from the outside. He spent his rookie period comfortably and accumulated popularity.

Guo Xu can set a historical record and become MVP at the age of 21, which is directly related to his choice. Now he has proved himself by participating in a dunk contest, overturning many claims about him.

This makes people a little speechless. Some scapegoats blamed him for his poor health and blamed him for several years, but he never refuted. Now people suddenly discovered that his physical fitness is better than Iverson.

The next day, Nike held a meeting for Guo Xu. He wore the newly launched Jason 3 to participate in the dunk contest, which immediately made the shoes popular. Jason3 has an avant-garde appearance, using yellow as the main color, with a convex shape and excellent practical effect, making it unforgettable.

Guo Xu won the dunk king, and Nike firmly believed that his sneakers would sell well and become the sales champion. However, James refused to participate in the slam dunk contest. He performed desperately in the rookie game but failed to win and win the MVP. The publicity effect was much worse.

If it weren't for Guo Xu, James might be able to do more publicity. Now this new flying man seems to be nothing special. If you're not the dunk king, what would you call a flying man?

Guo Xu is far more popular than James, and even more so than Adidas' top star Kobe Bryant. Nike believes that his next contract extension must be sincere and the endorsement fee should exceed that of James. Otherwise, if he is not happy to sign with another brand, he is afraid that There's going to be trouble.

A senior person in charge of Adidas was directly fired. When Guo Xu signed a sneaker endorsement contract, this person prevented the company from giving a higher offer. When James entered the league, he was originally optimistic about Adidas, but he offered a lower price. Nike offer.

If this guy keeps doing this, Adidas won't be able to grab new stars...
