my golden age

Chapter 99

Skills challenges are attractive, but the slam dunk contest is the crown jewel of the individual events.

Kenny Smith and Barkley explained the slam dunk contest live, first talking about the four contestants.

"Nate Robinson is the shortest player, relatively more dominant, as long as he makes the same moves, he can get more points than others." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said: "This year's players have a big gap in strength. The other three players are in the same level, and the height may be at another level."

"His physical talent is too outstanding. If Vince Ken participates, there may be a little suspense."

"Vince is very strong in dunking, and he is not weak in height. As for the result, it still depends on the dunk imagination of both sides. But Vince will definitely not compete again."

Dayao, McGrady and Kobe sat on the sidelines and helped Gao Fei make suggestions.

Kobe won the slam dunk title and said: "Don't use too much force in the qualifying rounds, or you will easily raise the referee's expectations. If you don't get full marks in the finals, you may lose the championship."

McGrady faced his cousin Carter in the 2000 dunk contest, but unfortunately lost the game.He doesn't know the way to win, but he just looks forward to the visual feast brought by the four players.

Iguodala was the first player to demonstrate a dunk, an unpretentious take-off in the paint and a small windmill dunk.

The fans at the scene were very supportive and gave warm cheers, but the referee did not particularly approve and only gave 45 points.

Josh Smith holds the basketball and contributes a similar dunk.Due to aesthetic fatigue, the score was only 42 points.

"Since the 2000 slam dunk contest, the appeal of the event has dropped significantly. The players have never had a particularly explosive dunk."

O'Neal and Garnett sat on the sidelines. Although they were dunked by Goofy, they still wanted to see a shocking performance.

The league knows what fans want to see and leaves the big meals behind.

Nate Robinson holds the basketball, steps inside the free throw line, and simply glides for a dunk.

He scored 48 points thanks to his height bonus.

For the first deduction, no one gets full marks for the time being.

Goofy called Kobe up and asked him to smash the pass.

Kobe and Gao Fei had specially practiced on the training ground and knew the general strength. When Gao Fei started running, he smashed the ball in his hand to the ground.

Gao Fei caught the rebounding basketball with his right hand, turned around and dunked the windmill in a cool and freehand way!
"Wow!"

O'Neill and Garnett jumped up in surprise, dumbfounded.It's definitely the most entertaining dunk they've seen in years.

50 points!
"Tonight's first 50 minutes appeared!" Yu Jia sat in the BJ studio, also very excited.

Director Zhang said with a smile: "Gao Fei's talent is stronger than those few people, and he has a rare imagination among domestic players. It is estimated that he will be sure."

"Let's look at the second button next."

The top three contestants all want to enter the finals, so they have to take out the action of pressing the bottom of the box in advance.The overall effect of the second button is much better than the first button.

"The next player is Gao Fei. As long as he can score 46 points, he can enter the final." Yu Jia explained the situation.

Gao Fei stood on the three-point line, grabbed the basketball with his left hand, dribbled twice to find the rhythm, and quickly ran into the penalty area.

Take off in the paint area, glide under the crotch and change hands for a dunk!

The overall movement is clean and neat, and the height of the suspension is amazing.

The referee collectively raised their cards and awarded another 50 points!
"So Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala didn't make it to the final."

Iguodala and Josh Smith walked back to sit next to Iverson in casual clothes.

Iverson said: "I think the two of you have better ideas than Nate, but his height really has an advantage."

"It can't be helped, after all, the objective conditions are there." Iguodala picked up the warm-up suit and put it on his body.

Nate Robinson scored relatively low in the preliminaries and dunked first.

The jump dunk is a traditional event in the slam dunk contest. He invites a tall fan to the court and asks him to stand with his head bowed in front of the basket.

Nate Robinson started from outside the three-point line, took off with a step, put his right hand on the shoulder of the audience, and dunked the trapeze!
The five referees deliberated and awarded 49 points!
"If there is no action to support it, it should be a full score." Kenny Smith explained to the audience.

Gao Fei took the ball with his right hand and stood near the center line.

The eyes of the [-] spectators were all on him.

High-flying dribble sprints, quickly ran into the three-point line, charged up to take off, and changed hands at the free throw line to dunk!
BOOM!

Everyone was shocked!

"What is this?!" Kenny Smith was so surprised that his voice was hoarse.

Barkley looked at the big screen above the arena, and the slow motion clearly presented the dunk action just now.

50 points!
Nate Robinson felt the pressure.He must get a full score for the second dunk, and Gao Fei has to score less than 49 points to be crowned the dunk king.

He is limited by his height, and he can't do much work, so he can only try to dunk from the free throw line.

After trying twice, I barely stepped on the free throw line and dunked the ball in one step!
The referee gave Little Tudou extra preferential treatment and got full marks.

Little Tudou returned to the bench, put his hands on his hips, and watched Gao Fei's last dunk.

Gao Fei dribbled the ball with his right hand, ran extremely fast, and took off in the paint.

At this moment, the scene seemed to press the pause button.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at Gao Fei in the air, for fear of missing any action.

Turn around with a small windmill under your crotch, and quickly dunk the ball in!
The basketball seemed to be a cannonball, hitting the floor directly, showing the strength of the dunk.

The five referees did not give out points immediately, and only gave out points after the first replay on the big screen.

In the fourth deduction, Gao Fei still scored 50 points!
"Gao Fei did it! He won the 2006 Houston All-Star Slam Dunk Contest dunk champion with four perfect dunks!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Gao Fei can really jump! Every time he dunks, he feels like he is flying in the sky."

Gao Fei put on his warm-up suit and stood in the middle of the court.

David Stern handed the slam dunk trophy to Gao Fei. The two held one side each and smiled towards the media seats.

Before the game, Gao Fei was very sure of winning the dunk king, but when he actually got it, he still felt a light and joyful feeling.This honor is not particularly important, but it is a bit like a dunker's famous brand, which fits his style of play very well.

"Gao, you are now among the dunk kings." Bryant said with a smile.

"It's a fluke." Gao Fei was in a good mood, and decided to be the host, inviting the players who participated in the All-Stars to go to Yao's restaurant to help support the show.

Kobe and Gao Fei sat in the same car, and said with a smile: "Gao, you are really different now compared to when you first came here."

Gao Fei picked up the slam dunk trophy and said with a smile, "Now that you're the slam dunk king, you have to be a little bit bolder."

Dayao had set aside two boxes in advance, and all-star players from East and West were sitting in them, very curious about chopsticks.

"Gao, how do you use this?" Lei Allen picked up a pair of chopsticks and couldn't figure it out.

Gao Fei also picked up a pair and demonstrated in slow motion.

The players around followed suit, but the fingers were too inflexible to grasp the essentials.
