Chapter 721 (1/2)
On February 15, 2014, the NBA all star game has not been so hot for a long time.
In the past few years, the all star game has been in a state of decline. The decline in ratings has forced the League to revise the rules of the all star game many times to stimulate fans' interest.
But it turns out that it doesn't take a lot of trouble to get the All-Star game back on fire. You just need to get real stars to play, and fans will buy it.
Today, people have been talking about the big star, link, since the morning's all star training and interview with the East and the West.
”LeBron, are you going to be in the dunk contest tonight?” During the All Star Training interview, the reporters even interviewed James, asking questions related to the slam dunk contest.
”Of course, anyone who loves basketball all over the world will miss tonight's dunk contest? I'll be there, and so will my son, and we're all ready for the visual feast tonight. ”
”Will you come to the dunk contest in person? I'll tell you the truth, I've insured myself against dislocated jaw Although Carmelo Anthony did not deal with link in the regular season, he was also interested in tonight's performance.
The only star to express his disdain for the slam dunk contest in an interview is link's arch rival, Kevin Durant.
”Russell Westbrook is the best goalkeeper in my mind, so I'm not going to watch tonight's game. What about Bill Simmons in women's clothes? He's not good-looking. ”
Durant put on an indifferent expression. He didn't want to help link.
But Durant's resistance didn't change anything. In link's words, ”there are only two people in the world who don't want to see me dunk. One is Durant, the other is Bill Simmons. But who cares? I only perform for most people. ”
Durant's resistance did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans, so that the skills challenge and three-point competition in the evening seemed to be the cushion performance of the dunk contest.
During the skills challenge and the three-point competition, the dunk collection of the four players participating in the slam dunk competition this season is always shown on the large screen and TV.
Among them, link's collection is the most played.
Mending, slamming between people, pulling rod folding and smashing... Just looking at the highlights, the fans have already had a feast for their eyes.
And these dunks, also appear in the official competition. In the dunk competition without defensive interference, God knows what kind of work link will play.
Finally, spurs guard Marco bellinelli lifted the three-point championship trophy in full view. Fans cheered, but not for bellinelli, but for the upcoming dunk contest!
Can the fans not be happy that the boring paddock show is finally over?
At this time, link is sitting in the dressing room, put on his silver dunk contest special edition color shoes.
In front of him, Jordan kilganon is giving link his final instructions.
”White Jordan” will not be able to demonstrate for link in person when he comes on the stage later.
Thirty minutes later, the warm-up song and dance pressure for the slam dunk competition ended, and all five of the judges were invited to enter. This year, in order to cater to this incredible dunk competition lineup, NBA officials also invited a luxurious lineup of judges.
first appeared in ”Dr. J”, Julius Erwin, ”the essence of human movie” Dominic Wilkins followed. These two players are undoubtedly the greatest players in NBA history, and their ability to serve as judges was beyond the expectation of many fans.
But it's not over yet. Yao Ming is the third to appear, and he's been the judge of the slam dunk contest for the second year in a row. As a competition with Chinese American players as its selling point, it is natural to invite a Chinese judge to thoroughly open up the Chinese market.
After Yao Ming, O'Neill, another great giant in NBA history, showed off his funny dance steps. So far, all four judges are Hall of fame stars.
But if you think it's over, you're wrong! Finally, in the surprised eyes of the fans, ”old rascal” Michael Jordan was the last to enter!
The last time Jordan was a judge in a slam dunk contest was seven years ago. After that, he said he would not be the judge of the slam dunk contest, because the players can't make surprising moves.
As a result, Jordan broke his promise, and he returned to the slam dunk contest again. The reason is simple, he finally waited for the player who might surprise him!
Five judges took a seat on the stage, and the lineup was extremely luxurious.
In general, the judges of the slam dunk contest will choose the famous host of the team in the city where the competition is held. For example, last year's Houston all star, dunk contest judges Yao Ming, Mutombo, Tom janovich, Drexler and olajuwang are all famous rocket players.
But this year, the NBA broke that tradition. They directly recruited the greatest player as the judge to set off the doomed great slam dunk contest.In addition to the judges, there are also top stars in the stands, such as Wade, James, Kobe, Duncan and so on. Even if the fans just look at the lineup, they are already worth the ticket price.
Finally, the scene's lights dimmed down and turned into a spotlight, shining on the players' passageway.
The contestants are finally coming out!
Of course, link is the last one to come out. When he dunks later, he will also be the last one to perform.
”White Jordan” as link's action designer appeared behind him. Most people didn't know who the handsome boy with silver hair was, but some people who paid attention to the dunk performance recognized him.
Seeing him at link's side, the discerning fans knew that today had been a lot of explosions.
After the contestants entered the stadium, today's special guest bill Simmons went up to interview ”white Jordan” kilganon, ”I heard you are link's dunk designer? Do you think it's difficult for link today
Simmons didn't know kilganon. He thought link had found a street artist.
Kirganon faced the camera and spread out his hands easily. ”Hard, hard. This game is no simpler than the playoffs for link. But the difficulty is not in the opponent, I guarantee link can easily kill his opponent. The real difficulty of this game is the self challenge with link
After hearing kirganon's words, Simmons had a good laugh.
Too arrogant, just no good results! What challenges himself? Can link go to heaven?
In the cheers of the fans and the eyes of basketball fans all over the world, 2014, which is destined to be recorded in history, has finally begun.
Lillard, who is the shortest player in this year's slam dunk competition.
However, height can not judge a person's dunk ability, the field ”white Jordan” is a living example.
Lillard had to live up to the fans' expectations for the game.
So he didn't keep it. As soon as he came up, he played a smash button in the air!
It's not creative, but it's very difficult for Lillard's height. What's missing is that Lillard's first dunk flew, and the second one was really completed.
Although there are some small flaws, Lillard is a good start for the dunk contest.
Finally, Lillard also scored three 8 points, 1 9 points and 1 7 points, a total of 40 points. There's nothing wrong with eight, because Lillard failed once. There's nothing wrong with Yao Ming's 9 points. It's a wonderful shot.
But when Jordan scored 7, he showed his maverick side. His scoring is no doubt telling everyone, ”it's not easy to win my favor.”
