Chapter 64 The Rookie's Performance

Next is today's grand finale, the highly anticipated slam dunk contest during the All-Star Weekend.

This game should have received the most attention today, but the fans seemed to lack interest.Originally, the list of today's dunk contest was not so exciting, but the three-point contest released more than half of the enthusiasm.

The list of this year's slam dunk contest was announced relatively late, and it was not officially released until February 2.Maybe the league is doing ideological work for some players, such as James, who has been keeping tickets for him.

But on the day when the No. 18 rookie game started, James announced that he would not participate in this year's dunk contest, which poured cold water on the fans.

In the announced four-man roster, there are two inside players, which has greatly reduced the excitement of the slam dunk contest.

The four players participating in this year's slam dunk contest are Stoudemire Jr. of the Suns, Josh Smith of the Hawks, Chris Anderson and JR Smith of the Hornets.

The only thing to watch is Josh Smith. The rookie's dunks in the regular season are very entertaining in terms of strength, coordination and height.

After completing the player introductions, the first round begins.

JR Smith, who played first, made a dunk with his left hand behind his back and a right hand, which was a success.This action is still relatively new, and the referees gave it a high score of 45 points.

But the applause at the scene was not very strong. Yesterday Li Chongxiao performed a more difficult back-hand changing windmill in the competition.

The next player to play was Josh Smith. He performed a heavy dunk from the free throw line. Although he jumped very high and smashed the frame very hard, he was not creative enough, and he stepped on the free throw line for more than one step. He only scored 45 point.

Then came Chris Anderson, who also belonged to the Hornets. He was going to perform a halftime throw, and then rushed to the inside to catch heavy dunks, but he succeeded four or five times in a row. The referee only gave him 41 points.

The last player to play was Stoudemire. He started running from the baseline and hit a two-handed pull-back dunk at the basket. This action also scored 45 points.

There was no perfect score in the first round, and the audience was a little clamoring, but the second round began to be exciting.

JR Smith asked his teammate Chris Anderson to cooperate with him, smashed the ball to the floor and bounced, JR Smith rushed from the right three-point line, caught the ball over the basket and dunked successfully, he scored 45 points again

Josh Smith also chose to find someone to cooperate. Kenyon Martin sat on the free throw line and threw the ball up. Josh Smith caught the ball in the air and passed Martin, swung a windmill to dunk the ball in, full marks!

Chris Anderson, the third player to play today, was pure soy sauce today. He and JR Smith failed to cooperate four times in a row, and finally completed the dunk with an almost the same action as JR Smith.But with his height, the deduction action was neither difficult nor aesthetically pleasing. The referees gave 36 points.

Stoudemire also found Nash to cooperate. He threw the ball to the backboard on the right side and bounced a V. Nash headed the ball from the other side to the basket. Stoudemire turned over and dunked a perfect score. .

This ball is a football action with a good idea. Half of the credit should be credited to Nash, so that the commentary on the scene shouted "Nash MVP".

The final was between Josh Smith and Stoudemire.

Josh Smith, who played first, put on the jersey of Eagles legend Dominique Wilkins and completed a Wilkins-style dunk.He drives to the basket from the right wing, and then a windmill dunk.Regardless of the jersey or the action, this is undoubtedly a 50-point dunk.

This time it was Stoudemire's turn to lose the chain. He crossed the frame and changed hands and dunked with both hands four times before he succeeded, so the referee only gave 45 points.

In the final final, this time Josh Smith increased the difficulty, came a big windmill in the air, and scored 50 points again.

Stoudemire continued to look for Nash. Nash used the classic football heel pick action. After failing a few times, Stoudemire completed a non-difficult alley-oop dunk and scored only 42 points.

In the end, Josh Smith, a rookie from the Hawks, won the 2005 All-National Slam Dunk Championship with a full score!

After watching the game, Li Chongxiao waved his hand, and took the star clusters who came to cheer him to have a meal.

In the spirit of beating local tyrants, we went to a high-end local Chinese restaurant, asked for a private room, and ate.

During the banquet, several stars had watched Li Chongxiao's dunk performance and encouraged him to participate in a dunk contest.Li Chongxiao was a little moved, but he couldn't agree easily.

He didn't say whether to go or not, but replied that when he participated in the slam dunk contest, he would grab one of Duncan, O'Neal and Yao Ming as the background, and complete a dunk over the tower. I don't know who among the three is so lucky up.

After eating, the soldiers split into two groups, and the others rushed to participate in the media and social activities of All Stars, while Li Chongxiao wandered back to the hotel alone.

The carnival belonging to the rookies is over.

In the past two days, the rookies of the 2004 class have been in the limelight. Li Chongxiao won the three-point leader with a full score, and Josh Smith won the most important dunk leader in today's game.

In yesterday's rookie game, although Anthony won the MVP, the most impressive player in this game is undoubtedly Li Chongxiao.It is said that Anthony was a little unhappy because of this.

Li Chongxiao not only scored 32 points second only to Anthony, and led the first-year team to the last 2 minutes to decide the winner, but also contributed many wonderful performances in the game.

These performances are not only reflected in his entertainment spirit, but also his playing with his teammates, playing tricks with his opponents, and interacting with off-court stars, making this scene not dull at all.

After the game, the audience expressed that it was worth the ticket price. This is the most interesting and exciting rookie game in recent years.

But Li Chongxiao's performance is not limited to humor and funny.If that's all he has, he's just a comedian.

The reason why O'Neal is so popular is not because he can be funny, but because he can be funny on the basis of being so dominant on the court.

When a clown makes you laugh, you will take it for granted; but when a person of status makes you laugh, you will unconsciously show a little admiration: You can see that O'Neill is so good at playing basketball, and he can be so funny when entertaining.

After Li Chongxiao entertained the audience, he began to perform real techniques.His most impressive three offenses, showing three-pointers, dunks and key shots, brought the audience another angle of pleasure.

Even without today's unprecedented three-point contest, when fans talked about him, they wouldn't say: "Oh, you're talking about that funny rookie!"

Instead: "Daye Lee, I know, the rookie who has a good shot and a cool dunk, right? By the way, he also has a talent for being funny."
