The older superstars of the NBA

Chapter 353 Slam Dunk Contest

nba all star weekend.

The second night came as expected.

This time, the All-Star Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the most important All-Star Slam Dunk Contest will be held this time.

The venue was the Air Canada Center Arena, the home of the Raptors, which can accommodate more than 9000 spectators, so the scene was very lively, and the fans were already excited before the show even started.

First up is the All-Star Skills Challenge.

The participating players are Patrick Beverly, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, cj McCollum, Karl Anthony Towns, Isaiah Thomas and Jordan Clarkson.

In the end, Karl-Anthony Towns made it through all the way and beat Isaiah Thomas with a three-pointer to win the Skills Challenge.

Next is the three-point contest.

Interestingly, this time Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry are both on the show.The two were originally teammates, and they were both good at three-pointers. In the end, the two teammates fought each other in the final.

Thompson finally defeated Curry by 11 points with 10 consecutive 27 balls.

The "fight" of the Splash Brothers came to an end, which also made this three-point contest very popular among fans.

After the previous projects were over, the on-site staff hurriedly cleaned up the equipment and began to arrange the scene of the slam dunk contest.

And during these few minutes, information about the participating players began to be played on the big screen at the scene.

The league officials obviously made special preparations. When introducing each player, their dunk highlights will be played, and there are even some short videos specially shot with the players.

The first to appear was Aaron Gordon.

From the Orlando Magic, he wore a black suit and sat on the sidelines. When the live camera was shown to him, Gordon stood up and raised his hand to the fans, and then his highlights began to be played on the big screen.

Those were all his various dunks in the Magic, and they were really exciting in terms of actions alone, so the fans at the scene cheered endlessly.

Next up is Zach LaVine.

LaVine stood up to greet the fans, and then began his wonderful performance for the Minnesota Timberwolves on the big screen.

Some of the video clips are his lobbing cooperation with Zhao Feiyang. Judging from those clips alone, his jumping and movements are perfect.

In addition, he was the last slam dunk contest champion, which also led to a lot of fans supporting him. For a while, the cheers and shouts on the scene even flooded the entire arena.

The third player to play was Will Barton of the Denver Nuggets.

Barton's dunk collection also looks good, but it is obviously inferior to the previous two.

The fans did not hold back their applause because of this, and many people still applauded for him.

Barton himself seemed quite satisfied, not only took the initiative to reach out to greet the fans outside the stadium, but also put on an appearance that he was determined to win the championship.

The last one to appear was Zhao Feiyang.

Compared with the performance of the top three players, Zhao Feiyang's pictures in the video collection are too few.Originally, he didn't have many dunks in the game, especially last season. In most cases, he used layups to end the battle cautiously. The dunks, which may cause injuries, were basically blocked by him.

By the beginning of this season, his dunks have increased slightly, especially after his comeback during that period, he will never choose a layup if he can dunk the ball.

However, compared to his career, such dunks are still too few, and it is really too difficult to pick out some amazing dunks in these dunk pictures.

Therefore, when the highlights of Zhao Feiyang's dunk were played, not only was there not much applause, but also a lot of ridicule.

Even some players sitting in the VIP seats couldn't help it.

"Oh! No! This collection is too general..."

"I suspect this guy is here to be funny..."

"Don't doubt, he is here to be funny! I don't know why he would think of participating in the slam dunk contest? Does he think he is omnipotent?"

There was a lot of discussion on the spot.

As for these scenes, Lavin was somewhat angry, he patted Zhao Feiyang on the shoulder to comfort him, "Zhao, don't think too much, let's just go about our business and don't care about outside voices... "

However, Zhao Feiyang's performance was beyond his expectation.

Not only was Zhao Feiyang not angry, but he stood up from his seat voluntarily. He turned around to all the fans at the scene, and then made Allen Iverson's signature "listening" gesture of putting his hands next to his ears.

"bring it on!"

"Just laugh!"

Zhao Feiyang smiled while making movements.

Lavin was also stupid to see him like this.

"Oh! God!"

"Is Zhao planning to give up the treatment?"

"Or was he determined from the start?"

The scene did not reduce the laughter because of his actions. Many players still laughed wantonly. For example, Barton who was sitting on the side, maybe it was boring to laugh alone, so he simply pulled his teammates to laugh together.

"Hahaha....Look at that guy, it's so funny! Does he consider himself a superstar?"

"Wait I'm going to see how he dunks? I wonder if this guy can jump?"

"Dude, hold my video camera, not only do I have to shoot for me, remember to shoot for that guy, then I have to make a video collection and post it on the Internet so that the fans can see our comparison. …”

call out.

After a whistle, the slam dunk contest officially began.

The first person to appear was Zach LaVine.

Before going on stage, Zhao Feiyang gave him high fives to cheer him up.

"Zach, this is your highlight moment! Come on! Brother!"

"necessary."

LaVine walked onto the court smiling.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, he threw the basketball toward the basket.The first time the ball was dropped, it seemed that the position was not ideal enough. LaVine did not take off but picked up the ball in the past.

After picking it up, LaVine threw the ball again.

This time, when the basketball that landed on the ground bounced up, LaVine rushed from the right side of the basket to the position under the basket, jumped high and changed the ball behind the back of his left hand in mid-air to his right hand, and then made a one-handed back Slam the ball into the basket.

boom.

The ball is in.

The audience cheered.

The judges sitting on the scene also showed surprise.

"Pretty!"

"Brilliant dunk!"

"This dude's dunk is really perfect..."

A few seconds later, all five judges gave full marks.

LaVine's first dunk in the first round ended with a perfect finish.

The scene cheered.

Zhao Feiyang also happily rushed LaVine off the court to give high fives.

"Good job!"

Next came Gordon's turn.
