Chapter 408: Dunk Showdown (Part 1)

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! When the new leader of the Timberwolves, Kevin Love, stood in the center of the field and won the three-point contest championship trophy, he was sitting on the commentary table Mike Breen on the Internet really wanted that annoying reporter to finish asking all the questions quickly so that Love could get off the stage quickly.

It's not that Brin has any prejudice against Love, but that the ESPN ace commentator can't wait to see the dunk contest start earlier. The process of the three-point contest will not end for a while, and the dunk contest will naturally not start.

"The results of the three-point contest have finally come to light, and then, the slam dunk contest that fans are looking forward to is coming soon! Hey, the fans have been complaining about the wrists of the participating players in this dunk contest. Strong strength. But since it was announced earlier this week to replace Shumpert, the reaction of the fans has also shown a 180° change. Breen, do you think that in the dunk contest later, can you also win? How about the performance that the fans expected?" Not only Mike Breen, but his good partner Kevin Harlan obviously couldn't wait any longer. Before the reporter's interview with Love was over, he had already talked about the dunk contest.

"I don't think there is any need to worry about Yi's performance. Although in normal games, Yi dunks are not many times. But almost every time he 'takes off', he can complete shocking dunks. Now, the Mavericks still have There is a historic slam dunk like Carter to help him design moves. Believe me, no matter what, the slam dunk king is his!" Mike Breen may have never thought that he would be so optimistic about an Asian player winning the slam dunk contest. Win the championship.

"Don't underestimate Yi, although his yellow skin often makes us ignore his explosive power. But it turns out that that guy can not only dunk, but also dunk. It's a pity that there are no live judges in this year's All-Star Game All the results are voted by the fans. If I can, I really want to watch Yi's dunk up close as a judge instead of sitting on the commentary stand." ESPN's special guest Larry "The Glove" Pai Payton also expressed his opinion. When talking about Yiyang in the three-point contest, Payton was full of affection for Yiyang. Now, he is still supporting Yiyang, it seems that everyone is sure that Yiyang will rule this night!

At this time, in the locker room, Yiyang counted the jerseys that he would wear later, and then called his mother Wen Xue and Vignali respectively, telling them to watch the slam dunk contest in front of the TV .

In fact, without Yiyang calling, these two women would definitely stay in front of the TV. But what they don't know is that Yiyang has prepared a lot of surprises for them.

"The state was very good during the practice just now. Don't be nervous when you play, just go according to the feeling just now. As long as you can pull out the state just now, the champion must be ours!" Carter patted Yiyang's chest, Give this young Asian defender a boost.

"I'm just a little worried that other people will be better prepared."

"Better? They're all about the props. Nobody's better prepared than you when it comes to dunking! Take it easy man, check your gear to avoid injury. We'll hit the court when our names are called Go and show off!"

"Hmm..." Yiyang lightly clenched his fists, performing a slam dunk under the expectations of fans all over the world. Yiyang had to admit that he was really nervous.

At this time, on the basketball court, the singing and dancing performances of major stars are already warming up for the dunk contest. After all the performances are over, the players will appear from the center of the stage one by one.

The All-Star Game is not only a feast of basketball, but also a feast of entertainment. Therefore, the types of performances are also very diverse. Rock, rap, pop, blues, wind, drum, dance, ensemble, everything is complete.

At the exit of the player tunnel, the sound of "rumbling" on the scene has already made Yiyang's adrenaline soar.

in the player tunnel,

All four contestants lowered their heads and stood motionless, waiting for their names to be called. Although the slam dunk contest is not confrontational, the four of them are more about playing together. But at this time, under the cheers and strong drumming of the fans, the emotions of all the contestants were still mobilized.

The first person to be called was Rockets Caucasian striker Zeiss Budinger. Although Budinger was a white athlete, his jumping ability was terrifying. During the regular season, he often put on a wonderful dunk performance.

The second player to play was Paul George of the Pacers. When George was selected, the Pacers fans almost wanted to strangle the general manager of the team. They believe that it would be a wiser thing to choose Xavier Henry with the tenth overall pick. However, it turns out the Pacers have good eyesight. Although George's current performance is also very mediocre, his potential is already visible to the naked eye.

The third person invited to play was considered to be the awe-inspiring talent Derek Williams. As the No. 2 pick in 2011, Williams' performance this season is actually very average. But Timberwolves fans still believe that this young guy can play at an All-Star level.

After the first three contestants appeared on the stage, the lights of the audience were dimmed, and with the rhythm of rap music, a beam of spotlights hit the center of the stage. The cheers at the Amway Center doubled in an instant. Today's protagonist is finally about to appear!

"The fourth contestant, from the far eastern land, he is the first Asian player who dares to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest! Let us welcome, Yi~~~~~~~~Yang from the Dallas Mavericks!"

The host deliberately prolonged his shouting, and Yiyang finally appeared in front of everyone under the spotlight. The stern guy just waved at the fans and stepped straight onto the pitch. Yiyang didn't engage in so many bells and whistles, just like Carter said, they only focused on dunking today!

The lights on the scene were turned on again, and the four contestants were already eager to try. On the sidelines, countless NBA stars came to the scene and raised their mobile phones to take pictures frantically. The most explosive moment of the night has finally arrived!

"Friends from the audience, welcome to the live broadcast of the 2012 Orlando All-Star Slam Dunk Contest! This year, it is the first time we have seen an Asian player appear in the slam dunk contest. Moreover, he is the most champion-looking player this year! "

"That's right. In fact, his opponents are very strong. Budinger was once the champion of the McDonald's High School Slam Dunk Contest. George and Derek Williams also have strong athletic ability. I also want to have a well-deserved To win the championship, you have to be careful!"

Under the eyes of everyone, the slam dunk contest finally kicked off. The first player to play was Budinger. The former McDonald's High School Slam Dunk Contest winner was undoubtedly very capable, and he was also considered to be Yiyang's biggest competitor.

As soon as Budinger appeared on the stage, he invited the famous black rapper "Puff Daddy" Sean Combs. As Carter said, these players are using gimmicks other than dunks to attract attention.

After that, Budinger flew over Puff Daddy to complete the dunk, winning the house. Although it looks like this shot is very powerful, in fact Bragging Daddy is only 1.87 meters tall. Leaping over him is actually not that difficult.

For the second dunk, George jumped over Hibbert for a dunk. There is no doubt that it is more difficult to leap Hibbert, who is 2.18 meters tall, than to leap 1.87 meters. Although Hibbert stooped, no matter how he stooped, he would not be shorter than Puff Daddy

On the third ball, Williams came out riding a cool Harley motorcycle. This idea is obviously very good, but he still can't escape the shackles of using props to attract attention.

In the end, Williams flew over the motorcycle to complete the buckle. But to be honest, if he was flying over two overlapping motorcycles, it might have been more convincing. With just a motorcycle, this is simply not visually stunning. Many spectators at the scene may not be able to dunk, but they can also jump over a motorcycle.

After the dunks by the first three contestants, Yiyang, whom the fans were looking forward to, finally appeared! After three slightly disappointing performances, Yiyang shouldered all the expectations.

"Yi is finally on the stage! The entire slam dunk contest is waiting to be saved by him!"

Just when people were attracting attention, Yiyang directly stood outside the three-point line with a basketball.

"No, no, wait. Is it possible that Yiyang...doesn't have any props or other ideas?" Mike Brin's eyes widened. Yiyang probably really wanted to dunk the ball directly.

With no props, no stars, no lighting effects, and no blessings from teammates, under the astonished eyes of everyone, Yiyang started to run with the basketball in his arms!

During the run-up, Yiyang felt that his surroundings seemed to be still. He could only hear the beating of his own heart and the sound of the wind in his ears. He had failed countless times in this action during training. At first, Carter also seriously discussed the success rate of the dunk with him, but Yiyang resolutely Resolutely chose the challenge. But now, in fact, he is a little bit confused.

"Don't put a rock on your heart. If you put a rock on your heart, you won't be able to fly." The words Carter said to him this morning suddenly lingered in Yiyang's mind. He suddenly relaxed and flew up. Leap!

After Yiyang took off, he spun in the air, holding the ball in his right hand and putting it under his waist. After turning his back to the basket, he threw the ball vertically with his right hand holding the ball. The basketball rose in front of Yiyang's body, and at the same time, Yiyang's body continued to rotate. After Yiyang turned around 360° in the air, the basketball that was thrown just rose in front of Yiyang. Yiyang's right hand, which was originally placed underneath, swung up following the inertia of the rotation, just in time to catch the basketball, and then pressed it hard into the frame!

"Boom!" The basket made a crisp sound!

"Boom!" The audience erupted!

All the fans at the scene stood up, and the stars who were watching from the sidelines all stared wide-eyed. And George, who was closest to Yiyang, put his head in his arms in disbelief.

"That guy just now, what did he do!?" Mike Brin pointed at the court and shouted, his face was already flushed from the shock.

"Vince! Did you see that!? God, you two usually practice this!?" Even Yiyang's teammate Dirk Nowitzki was taken aback.

There are no props, no stars, no lighting effects, and no blessings from teammates. Yiyang really blows up the Amway Center with the dunk itself!

Carter may be the calmest person in the entire stadium except Yiyang himself. When everyone is falling into madness, he, the "half-human, half-god", just smiles slightly.

This is only the first impact, and more exciting things are yet to come. Hopefully the Amway Center is strong enough to withstand Yiyang's three consecutive explosions.

Fans all over the world were stunned by Yiyang's dunk, and Yiyang walked to the bench and sat down with a relaxed face. The slam dunk contest should be interesting like this!
