Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 133 Slam Dunk Contest
In fact, Wang Hao doesn't care about the championship. As for the trophy, it's even more rudimentary.

It is said that if the Olympic champion can't survive, he can still sell Olympic medals to survive.

But if it is changed to the NBA's three-point contest champion, don't even think about it, this trophy is hard to sell.

Even if someone buys it, it is probably not worth much.

What really satisfies Wang Hao is naturally the skill points, and 5 skill points.

With a total of 11 skill points, Wang Hao once again felt that he was rich and could be squandered again.

It's just that he's not in a hurry, and the All-Star Game doesn't need his performance, so just take it slow.

The most important thing is how to add points, you have to think carefully.

Last time, I put all my skill points on the three-pointer. Although I can't say I was wrong, I regret it somewhat.

I can't say I regret it. After all, if there is no accurate three-pointer, he would not have such a performance.

In the final analysis, there are still not enough skill points. If you have enough skill points, you can add them however you want.

Just when Wang Hao lamented that the skill points were not enough, another game was about to start.

2000 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in Oakland.

This is definitely a turning point in the slam dunk contest, and it is a crucial turning point.

Before that, the emergence of the slam dunk contest has indeed attracted the attention of countless people, after all, this is a slam dunk!
But the problem is, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

After Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins, and Michael Jordan, the slam dunk contest faded away.

Let's put it this way, although the dunk is still exciting, it cannot satisfy the expectations of the fans.

As a result, the attention of the slam dunk contest is gradually sluggish.

In 1998, the last All-Star, the dunk contest was canceled directly.

But this creates another problem. Except for the All-Star Game, fans basically don't pay attention to other games.

In this way, the All-Star Weekend is a bit of a misnomer.

This is also the main reason why the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest was restarted immediately after a year.

In order to cope with this game, NBA officials have made a lot of preparations, the first is the participating players.

The players participating in the dunk contest this time are all well-known dunkers in the league.

The first is Vince Carter, a player who entered the All-Star starter with a dunk, and even became the All-Star vote leader.

And Tracy McGrady, Steve Francis, Larry Hughes, Ricky Davis, Jess Stackhouse.

These six people are all famous dunkers in the NBA.

If you can buckle well in the game, then naturally you won't be too bad in the game.

Not only that, the NBA officials also took great pains in the judges of the slam dunk contest, inviting many famous people.

Iceman George Gervin, scoring machine Rick Barry, smiling assassin Isaia Thomas, even Kenny Smith is a famous commentator today.

In addition to these four, there is also Cynthia Cooper, an active player, but it is WNBA, known as Jordan of the WNBA, who is extremely dominant in the WNBA arena.

Hearing that the slam dunk contest was about to start, Wang Hao quickly restrained himself, this must not be missed.

Yuan Shikong, he had watched this slam dunk contest countless times, but it must be the first time to watch it live.

McGrady was the first to play, a 180-degree turn, plus a dunk with a folding lever, quite exciting.

Especially McGrady's height is more than 2 meters, making such an action, showing excellent stretch and jumping ability.

Let's put it this way, if you change to a smaller player and make the same moves, it will definitely not be as exciting as McGrady.

Without any hesitation, the judges directly gave a perfect score of 50 points.

Followed by Francis, I saw him throw from beyond the three-point line, and then immediately rushed to the basket.

When the basketball fell and bounced to the highest point, he also came to the basket, jumped high and smashed the ball to the hoop.

This dunk fully demonstrated his bounce.

The slam dunk contest, or the entire basketball game, is definitely not friendly to small people.

Although the time spent in the air is longer, the problem is that no matter how long it stays in the air, it will always fall, and the height of the basket is fixed.

In this case, it is necessary to show the bounce as much as possible.

Just like West Webber, he won the slam dunk contest by showing his ability to bounce and stay in the air.

Francis dunk is very exciting, but the difficulty is low, the judges only gave 45 points.

Francis was a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged. After all, this was the first dunk, and there was still a chance.

Next, Carter appeared on the stage, and the moment Carter appeared on the stage, everyone stood up directly.

And Carter lived up to expectations, a 360-degree windmill dunk, directly looked at everyone stupid.

All the stars on the sidelines stood up in an instant, some with disbelief on their faces, and some already worshiping.

Not only that, the entire scene resounded with the voices of "It's over" and "Let's go home".

The atmosphere of the scene, coupled with the playback on the big screen, everyone is reminiscing about this dunk.

No surprises, 50 points.

I don't know if Carter's dunk was too exciting this time, but the next dunk seemed a bit dull.

Not only that, the score is also obviously low.

Including Ricky Davis, Jess Stackhouse, and Larry Hughes, none of them exceeded 40.

Jess Stackhouse's 360-degree two-handed dunk, Larry Hughes' back bar, and Ricky Davis' big windmill.

The bodies of a few people are very strong, but the dunk is very ordinary, especially in the comparison of Carter's dunk.

Let's put it this way, the NBA's dunk contest, in addition to the body, creativity is also very important.

Immediately afterwards, McGrady's 360-degree back pull bar, Carter ran out from behind the backboard and turned around 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

……

One by one, the stars and fans on the scene couldn't sit still any longer and got up to watch one after another.

Because the current competition system still chooses 3 out of 2 in the preliminaries, that is, 3 dunks, and the two with the highest points are selected.

In the end, Carter entered the final with a full score, while McGrady scored 99 points and Francis No.91 with 3 points.

Without a moment's rest, the finals continued.

McGrady played first and dunked with a big windmill. Although it was very good, it was obviously not as exciting as the preliminaries.

As for Francis, it was a back-to-back folding dunk, and Carter sacrificed a dunk with an elbow hanging basket.

Without any surprises, Carter's dunk scored 49 points again, and there was an old guy who just refused to give full marks.

I don't know if Wade learned from him?

Carter once again took out a two-handed dunk with a one-step jump from the free throw line and scored 49 points again, with a total of 98 points.

As for Francis and McGrady, they scored 91 and 77 points respectively.

I have to say that it is a pity for McGrady. The most exciting dunk was used in the preliminaries, and the dunk in the final seemed a bit mediocre.
