NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Chapter 82 Slam Dunk Contest

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"The much-anticipated All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is about to begin. Please welcome the contestants with the most enthusiastic applause!"

The host's voice fell, and the fans applauded thunderously!

"First of all, we invite the first player to play, a player from the Los Angeles Clippers, Blake Griffin!"

"Next up is the new star from Kecheng, the MVP winner of yesterday's rookie game, Long Rui!"

"Next, there's the inside monster of the Washington Wizards, JaVale McGee with top physical talent!"

"Last play is Oklahoma City Thunder's interior barrier, Serge Ibaka!"

Under the introduction of the host, the four players appeared on the stage one by one.

After completing the appearance ceremony, they will go down to prepare, and they will determine the order of the competition by drawing lots.

Everyone knows that the later the pick, the more favorable it is, because there will be a process of adaptation, relatively speaking, it will not be too tense.

Unfortunately, Long Rui got the first place. All four of them participated in the slam dunk contest for the first time and had no experience.

But as far as Long Rui was concerned, he didn't feel a little nervous. In his opinion, he had to be deducted anyway, and it was the same sooner or later, as long as he tried his best.

A moment later, the match officially started. Long Rui wore his shirt and walked slowly into the field.

After he glanced at the basket, he took a deep breath.

For the first dunk, he chose a very difficult dunk.

Two steps away from the three-point line, Long Rui threw the ball in his hand. The moment the ball bounced off the ground, he rushed towards the basket. After seeing the timing, he jumped high!

He made a 360-degree spin in the air, and then caught the ball with a backhand to complete the dunk!

"WOW! Perfect buckle!"

"Long Rui sent such a wonderful dunk as soon as he came up. I don't know if the other three players will feel pressure after seeing this dunk!"

The on-site commentator said excitedly!

The difficulty of this first dunk is not small. Not only is it extremely demanding on the body, but also it is necessary to grasp the timing of catching the ball.

The most difficult thing is to catch the ball with your back and backhand in the air. When you can't see the ball, you can catch it completely by feeling.

After landing, there was a burst of applause at the scene!
At this time, the anonymous judges on the sidelines also immediately raised their scoring cards.

Four 10 points, one 9 points, Long Rui's first dunk was a high score of 49 points!

After completing the dunk, Long Rui returned to the court, followed by Serge Ibaka.

It can be seen that he is still a little nervous at the moment, especially after seeing Long Rui's first dunk.

After Ibaka came on stage, he also took a deep breath to calm down his nervousness.

For the first dunk, he originally planned to choose a simpler dunk, but now he has to make a new choice.

Ibaka came near the middle circle, he took the ball for a run-up, then jumped up from the free throw line, completed a one-armed loop in the air, and dunked the ball!
The whole set of movements was completed very smoothly, but in terms of appreciation, it was not as good as Long Rui's first kick.

Then the five judges also gave the final score, perhaps because of the influence of Long Rui, this deduction only got 46 points.

Although it was only 3 points less than Long Rui, the 3-point gap was huge in the dunk contest.

For such a score, Ibaka is also a little disappointed.

After Ibaka, there is JaVale McGee.

Generally, there are very few centers who choose to participate in the dunk contest, because the height of the center is raised, so the movements made will make people look bulky.

As the host said, Keevil McGee's physical talent is absolutely top-notch, and his jumping ability is very strong.

Therefore, even with the natural disadvantage of height, his dunk ability cannot be ignored.

When it was McGee's turn to dunk, another basket was transported to the scene, and the two baskets were next to each other, which is a rare scene.

When the fans saw this scene, they also looked forward to it. No one knew what McGee wanted to do, but Long Rui, who was a time traveler, knew it very well.

Everything is ready, McGee holds two basketballs in his hand.

He walked to a 45-degree angle on the left, and then rushed towards the basket.

He threw the ball with his left hand to the backboard, jumped after hitting the board, and completed a catch dunk in the air. At the same time, the basketball with his right hand also dunked into the right basket!

"OMG! OMG!"

The commentator opened his mouth suddenly, and the players watching from the sidelines were also stunned!
McGee's buckle is full of imagination. Although the movement is not beautiful, it is very difficult.

This deduction finally gave McGee a high score of 49 points!

For the first dunk of the first three, there were two 49 points, and all the pressure was given to Griffin.

I originally thought that the final appearance was the least stressful, but now it is just the opposite.

As a representative of violent dunks, Griffin often sends various violent dunks in the game.

But these dunking actions are not applicable in the dunk contest, so he must also play some skills.

On the first dunk, Griffin was under pressure. He started a run-up on the sideline of the midfield. Like Ibaka, he took off from the free throw line with one step. After making a 360-degree rotation in the air, he dunked the ball in with both hands!
The dunk is very powerful, but the whole action is beautiful!

Generally speaking, although the difficulty of this set of movements is not as high as that of Long Rui, it is done quite beautifully.

Long Rui also secretly admired off the court: "As expected of a white monster!"

The cheers at the scene were extremely high, and the judges also scored a high score of 49 points!

In the first dunk of the first round, there were three high scores of 49 points, but Ibaka was a little bit off the chain.

If there is no accident, Ibaka will miss the final, and he is also very disappointed about this.

Moments later, the second dunk of the first round began.

Long Rui appeared on stage again, causing a burst of screams!
"Long Rui! Long Rui!"

Not only at the scene, Longrui fans all over the world are cheering for him.

Especially Huaxia fans, this is the first Chinese player to participate in the NBA's dunk contest in the history of the NBA, and his strength is still very strong!
Long Rui's second dunk performance, he decided to use a more difficult dunk.

I saw him come to the bottom corner, made a slight adjustment, and then rushed towards the basket without hesitation.

He threw the ball, hit the edge of the backboard, jumped up, took the basketball and made an extreme pull in the air!

His superb ability to stay in the air allowed him to glide to the other side of the basket, and then dunk the ball in with a backhand!

"Full marks! Must be full marks!"

"This button is so handsome!"

"Damn it! This is physical fitness, it's simply abnormal!"

The Huaxia fans in front of the screen suddenly exclaimed!
