Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 145 Another record!

On February 2rd, the third day of the All-Star Weekend, there will be a dunk contest and a three-point contest.

This dunk contest is destined to go down in history.

In the previous life, whether it was McGee’s 3-ball smash that broke the Guinness World Record, or Griffin’s creative slam dunk by flying over the car, it will be a classic that grabs the headlines of major media and will be talked about by future generations action.

But this time when they meet Wu Di, they will all become background boards.

Early in the morning, Wu Di took a group of Cavaliers players, that is, Jordan Jr., Love, Jamison, Davis, Beverly and others, to the UCLA training hall to practice dunks that night.

Inviting so many "actors", of course, a big move is required.

Wu Di is going to fly over the entire five people, that is, to simulate the entire opponent's team on the field, and then complete the dunk!

But this is just an action he prepared for the preliminaries of the slam dunk contest tonight. In the final, he has an action that can securely win the championship.

Although later Glenn Robinson III won the slam dunk contest only by flying over 3 people, this year, after all, gods fight, and Wu Di still made careful preparations for it.

There are many tricks, not only flying over the 5-man dunk, which can reflect the sky against the sky, but also the horizontal line dunk, which reflects his super flexibility.

His current bounce has reached a super giant of 93, his waist and abdomen and flexibility are also a super giant of 92, and his dunk has reached 1, which is only one point away from the legendary level.

But this is not the source of his confidence. After all, with these things, it is very difficult to fly over 5 people, let alone the more difficult split-horse, the success rate is very low.

But he has a flying badge!

Once the flying mode is activated, it can enhance his dunk ability by 20% in one fell swoop, and greatly increase his airborne ability by 40%!
This time it's against the sky!
94's slam dunk increased by another 20%, directly bursting the table!
40% increase in airborne... Then it's really the same as flying!

This set of boosts will directly allow him to throw a flying cross dunk.

That is to say, let the 9 people directly pose as a cross, and then he flies over to buckle.

It is conceivable that if this trick is successful, what kind of sensation it will cause!
But this religious attribute is too strong, and Wu Di will not sacrifice it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Boss, after tonight, you will be crowned the dunk god!"

Little Jordan said with admiration, whether it was flying over five people vertically or splitting horizontally, not to mention that the slam dunk contest never appeared, even in his wildest dreams.

In his mind, this is no longer the honor that the slam dunk contest champion can represent, this is the god of slam dunk!
"Tonight is absolutely stable, I can't wait to see how dumbfounded those people are!"

Love threw his fist fiercely. He didn't know that McGee would dunk three times in a row, and he didn't know that Griffin would leap over the car. He just inferred from the previous dunk contests that Wu Di had already stabilized!

Everyone echoed, Wu Di waved his hand and said with a smile:
"The result of the slam dunk contest is already doomed, just like our championship! But the process will be beyond everyone's expectations..."

However, a familiar baritone interrupted him:
"Insanity!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be the black Mamba Bryant wearing sunglasses and the sleepy Shaquille O'Neill.

Judging from the hot dog in O'Neal's mouth, the "arrogance" just now should come from Kobe.

Wu Di looked at him, and the smell of gunpowder spread in the air!
Kobe Bryant's forehead was throbbing with veins. He wanted to refute that the championship must belong to the Lakers, but Wu Di would definitely refute that the Cavaliers won all games against the Lakers in the regular season this season.

He wanted to say that this is his exclusive practice field, but Carrefour and Davis are both UCLA legends...

Therefore, he chose to refute Wu Di's dunk:
"You can't possibly win this year's dunk contest!"

Before Wu Di could refute, O'Neill spoke first:

"Di, it's useless to refute. Corvo is right this time. Although your movements are very difficult, the champion of tonight's slam dunk contest will definitely go to someone else!"

Everyone in the Cavaliers was in an uproar. If it was said that Kobe was only likely to rant, then O'Neal said the same, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

Seeing the unbelievable expressions on the faces of the Cavaliers, O'Neill and Kobe looked at each other, and they all showed complacency!

Hehe, what is cool?
This is called cool!

It was Griffin who dunked, but the cup was filled by the OK combination!

As Los Angeles legends, they have already seen Griffin's speeding dunk action in advance, so they have no doubts about Griffin's ability to win the slam dunk contest.

Wu Di chuckled. As a reborn person, he certainly understood what Kobe and O'Neal were talking about, but he said aggressively:

"What qualifications do you have to judge my dunk?"

"Huh!"

O'Neill opened his mouth in an "O" shape instantly, looked at Kobe and said:

"He actually said that you, the champion of the 97 slam dunk contest, are not qualified to evaluate his dunks!"

Kobe punched O'Neill's chest hard with his small fists. The slam dunk contest in 97 was always a high-definition black material that he couldn't bear to look directly at.

After hammering the shark, Kobe shook his finger at Wu Di again:

"Why did Howard win the slam dunk contest? These days are creative slam dunks, and your understanding of the game is still far behind!"

O'Neill stuffed the last mouthful of the juicy hot dog into his mouth, then smacked his fingers with satisfaction and said:

"We can't say too much, but what Corvo said this time is right. In tonight's slam dunk contest, the most dazzling boy under the spotlight is definitely not you!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Wu Di raised the corner of his mouth and suggested:

"Hehe, what kind of skill are you talking about? Do you dare to bet with me? I will win the slam dunk contest tonight!"

Kobe stared:
"What's the bet? Heads-up again?"

Wu Di quickly shook his head:

"Pull it down, and you want to cheat people with a bad check! Believe it or not, I will call the police and let the Los Angeles Police Department arrest you!"

The corner of Kobe's mouth twitched violently, bet, must bet!

Damn it, it's impossible for Wu Di to win, and he's still so arrogant!
O'Neill is also excited, and the greedy green light in his eyes wins. Wu Di has signed so many endorsements in his rookie season. If he doesn't cheat a penny, he will be sorry for his status as a multi-millionaire:

"We don't gamble like old hooligans anymore. Gambling hurts feelings! Recently, I fell in love with a Rolls-Royce coupe. If you lose, bring me one!"

After speaking, the halazi almost flowed out, obviously he has been coveting this car for a long time.

However, it was despised by Kobe:
"Yaoying? Tsk, I didn't expect you to retire soon, and your taste is still so vulgar, you haven't improved at all!"

O'Neill wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically:
"Hehe, you're really good at what you said! Such a good opportunity, if you let Wu Di only buy a dress for Gigi, then I will obey you!"

Kobe raised his chin and said domineeringly:
"Aston Martin's supercar Virage was only released in April, but I already have a place to pick up the car!"

O'Neill and Wu Di gasped for a moment, this is the real car master!
The car hasn't been released yet, but Kobe has already got a place to pick up the car!
This means that he can become the first batch of owners of this model in the world!
But obviously, Kobe chose to speak out at this time, which means turning this mysterious Aston Martin into a bargaining chip...

Wu Di smiled even more.

O'Neal and Kobe, one who wanted a Rolls-Royce convertible coupe, and the other who wanted an upcoming supercar from Aston Martin, both wanted to take the opportunity to scam him for a fortune!
But they didn't know that Wu Di knew more about Griffin's hidden trick than they did!
Thinking of this, Wu Di smiled and nodded:
"Haha, good! Since you are so anxious to add to my car collection, then I will reluctantly accept the car keys of the two cars!"

When O'Neill and Kobe saw that he agreed, they burst into laughter instantly, as if the keys of the two cars had become their possessions!

Seeing that the two of them are so confident, the knights persuaded Wu Di not to bet with them.

After all, the most basic version of Guangyaoying costs about 50 US dollars, and the two cars add up to more than one million US dollars. No matter how rich Wu Di is, he can't afford it...

But how could Wu Di let go of such a good opportunity to buy at zero yuan? He knew about Rolls-Royce Dawn, and he had never heard of Aston Martin Virage before.

Thanks to Corvo, guess this will be his first Aston Martin!

Thinking of this, he said to the two of them:

"Don't say that I cheated you, you made the bet yourself, and when you come to visit the Wu Dihao Car Museum, you will be exempt from tickets for life!"

The corners of Kobe's mouth twitched even more:
"Damn it, you're the best player I've ever seen!"

O'Neill smashed it, smashed his mouth:
"If the All-Star Cup Contest is held, you will definitely be the champion! Oh no, you can't win because you can't pretend!"

……

Soon, after half a day of official publicity activities, the time came to the game that night.

Staples was crowded with people and stars, except for NBA stars, half of Hollywood stars came.

Wu Di wore a black Tang suit with golden dragon embroidery on the stage. This appearance caused quite a stir as soon as he appeared, and was dragged by countless people to take pictures.

First of all, various Chinese movie stars from Hollywood, such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Daniel Wu, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and others.

Although Nolan's "Batman 3" hadn't been released yet, those in the circle had already learned that Wu Di had successfully joined the circle of producers, and they all came over to get acquainted.

There are also some other stars, such as Xiao Lizi, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, etc., who also specially asked Wu Di to take a photo.

However, most of the ones who are courteous to him are actresses.

Meghan and Anne Hathaway both came, and even Amanda came here from the set. The three sisters all wore Wu Di's No. 46 jersey, which made the crowd around them sour.

There are also some new faces, such as Emma Roberts, a blond girl who dresses up as a bitch, and some intimate older sisters, such as Nicole Kidman, etc. They all asked Wu Di to take pictures.

Cruise saw that Wu Di was a head taller than Nicole Kidman, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he just stood up and sat down again.

There are also those who look very unfriendly, such as Justin Bieber and Rihanna in the North American pop music circle, they all look up to Wu Di desperately, like an old man/mother looks up to you.

Just now, Wu Di's face in the film and television industry was too great, and they felt that it was necessary to show Wu Di some face.

However, the hostility in the rap circle is even more serious. Dr. Dre, Brother Gou, ASAP Rocky, TS, Jay-Z and others looked at Wu Di and muttered words, most likely scolding Wu Di for stealing black bread.

Grandpa Kan and Grandpa Mu are expressionless, and they belong to two clear streams in the rap circle, but they don't mean to be neutral on purpose, it's just that everyone is an idiot in their eyes.

The game started with Kenny Smith yelling the microphone.

The first to start is the skill challenge program.

This project requires players to complete a series of actions such as layups, dribbles, fixed-point passes, running passes, and jump shots. The two players with the shortest budget will enter the final, and the player with the shortest final time will win the championship.

In the first round of the preliminaries, the elementary school student Curry was the first to play.

His previous moves were very smooth and smooth, but when he hit the ground and passed the ball, he had to try twice before passing the ball into the target frame, which took some time, 34.1 seconds.

Scattered applause from the Staples auditorium.

The second player to play was Westbrook Westbrook. He did all the moves without stopping, and it only took 30 seconds!
With Westbrook roaring and celebrating on the court, the Staples Center was swept by cheers for the first time tonight!
Westbrook was elected to the All-Star bench for the first time this season and was officially promoted to an All-Star player. He is determined to win this Skills Challenge.

Rose of the Windy City was the third player to play. The front of Rose was very smooth, but the jump shot was delayed for a while. After grabbing the rebound, the shooting time was delayed to 35.7 seconds, and he was eliminated.

No.4 is Qiangge Wall, who is the fastest, but not only has a problem with the pass in the middle, but also has a problem with the final jump shot. It took 39.3 seconds to run down the whole course, and he had to walk off the field dejectedly.

The finale was the queen bee Paul. As the league's number one point guard touted by the outside world, his speed was not fast, but his victory was steady.

However, he was a little unaccustomed to not having a big man in front of him defending the jumper. He hit the ball three times in a row before scoring the ball, and got the worst 42.7 seconds in the game.

There is no harm without comparison. Seeing Paul pull his hips like this, Wall looked up and regained his confidence in an instant.

Paul walked off the court cursing. As the number one point guard in the league, he has never won a skill challenge championship, and now he is the last among the contestants. His face is a bit uncomfortable.

After the first round of results, Curry and Westbrook finally advanced to the final.

In the final, Curry worked hard and executed all the moves perfectly. The final score was 28.2 seconds, which was even better than Westbrook's first round score!
Westbrook's psychological pressure suddenly increased.

In private, he can't perform all the actions perfectly every time, let alone now?

As a result, he got stuck during the fixed-point pass in the middle, and the jumper made two iron shots, and finally got 44.2 seconds worse than Paul...

Curry had the last laugh and won the All-Star Skills Challenge!

The interest of the audience was successfully aroused by this counterattack, and they all whistled to welcome the next three-pointer contest.

"If you can win the three-point shooting contest, I will help you pay back the bill!"

LeBron James covered his mouth and said to James Jones before he entered the court.

Jones' eyes lit up instantly. He was fined $100 million by the shopping mall for secretly photographing Wu Di. He didn't expect LeBron to be so generous...

But when he turned his head and saw Wu Di who was warming up on the sidelines, Jones immediately showed a look of enlightenment!

"do not worry!"

Jones squeezed his fist, rushed to the court and started shooting.

At this time, there are a total of 5 shooting points in the three-point contest, two symmetrically at the bottom angle, two symmetrically at a 45-degree angle, and the other at the top of the arc.

There are five balls for each shooting point, 1 point for the first four balls, 2 points for the last ball, and a full score of 30 points.

The contestant who gets the most points in 1 minute wins. There are two rounds like the skill challenge.

Jones felt good, and he scored 21 points in the preliminaries. This score was already the champion last year.

There was a loud cheer at the scene.

In fact, without Wu Di, he would be the champion this year.

The second player to play is Truth Pierce, last year's 20-point champion.

But when he came up, he had no touch. He missed a ball at the first pitch, and the final score was only a pitiful 12 points.

Off the court, Pierce hit a maximum of 30 three-pointers in a row, but after all, the All-Star Game is the stage for the annual trophy. Even the audience is full of stars, and the pressure is not inferior to the finals. He played so much under the imbalance of mentality. Iron is no surprise.

The third player to play was a player from the Celtics, and he was a heavyweight player, the champion of the 2001 three-point contest, and the sharpshooter Lei Lei Allen who had just been crowned the historical three-pointer at the beginning of the month.

Ray Allen played steadily, and he was able to hit four balls at each pitch point. However, his luck was extremely unlucky. He missed a single colored ball and scored 20 points.

The fourth player to play was Kevin Durant. Durant made the same problem as Pierce, but it was more serious. He missed one of the first two pitches, and only found a little bit of state in the third pitch.

Wu Di was the last one to come out on the field. He changed Durant's hard-hitting situation, and hit four goals in a row at the first pitch from the bottom corner!

Although his long-range shot is only super giant at 90, his jump shot is perfect, and the two neutralizations are also at the legendary level of 95, and if the flying mode is activated, there is still a 20% increase!
He is bound to win the championship!
1 minute ended quickly, he scored 23 points and successfully advanced!

In the final, Jones staggered onto the court. He was very confident. After all, he scored 21 points in the opening game, but Wu Di suddenly threw 23 points to upset him!

"Come on James! Don't forget the skills challenge just now!"

Lao Zhan cheered up off the court, and Jones seemed to be injected with a booster when he heard the words!

That's right, in the skill challenge just past, Westbrook's performance was even better than Curry's in the preliminaries, but the final champion belonged to Curry!

The same may be true for the three-point contest!

Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Di with a murderous look in his eyes. He wanted to counterattack Wu Di in the finals like Curry!

beep!
With the whistle of the referee, Jones began to throw the ball, and the first pitch hit five points in a row!

Very smooth!

Jones ran to the next pitching spot excitedly, and this time he also hit five in a row!
12 points!

Hahaha!
Jones seemed to see a check for $100 million waving at him!

Seeing his bravery, the audience started to applaud and applaud!
Jones became even more excited. Look, there are so many people cheering for him!

But in fact, most of the audience don't even know who Jones is, but they just like to watch the plot of counterattack and slap in the face!
Jones returned to normal on the third pitch, hitting four balls and scoring four runs.

The fourth pitch is also 4 points.

20 points!

He still missed a pitch!

Jones couldn't hide his excitement, he was about to be crowned the champion of the three-point shot contest!

However, Jones forgot that a stable mentality includes not being too excited...

At the last pitch point, he missed one of the first four balls, and only hit the last flower ball, and finally scored 22 points.

"Good job, my good brother!"

Old Zhan applauded him.

With 22 points in the final, he is definitely the champion in previous years.

But when I met Wu Di this year, I can only say that Jones was unlucky.

Wu Di is not Westbrook. As soon as he came on the court, the first pitch was a full hit!

There was something wrong with the second pitch, and the first ball was a little bit wide. Jones threw his fist excitedly, but it was useless. Wu Di hit all four balls behind him!

11 points!

At the third pitch, Wu Di hit the ball again!
17 points!
At the fourth pitch point, Wu Di's shot became smoother and smoother, and he still hit the whole ball!

23 points!
"It's over! The game is over!"

The host Kenny Smith said excitedly, there is still one pitch point, and Wu Di has already surpassed Jones!
At the last pitch, Wu Di hit the first ball again!
"24 points! My friends, it's already 24 points! Let's see if Wu Di can tie the best record in the history of the three-point shot contest! Oh! Again, 25 points! Let's see if we can break the record!"

With Wu Di scoring another goal, the cheers flooded the Staples Center like a landslide and tsunami!

Only Lao Zhan and Jones were sitting under the stage, covering their foreheads, staring wide-eyed.

"Hey, I shouldn't have expected it, this guy is so accurate in the three-point game..."

In the end, Wu Di successfully won the three-point contest and set a new three-point contest record with 26 points!
"Boss is amazing!!"

"Well done, Dee! Glory to the Cavaliers!"

"Congratulations on being crowned the champion of the three-point shot contest..."

In the congratulations of countless people, Wu Di came to the field with two balls, signed his name, and handed one to Love and one to Gibson:
"You guys have to work harder next year!"

The two excitedly took it. This is Wu Di's autographed ball used to set a scoring record in the three-point contest. It is estimated that each one will cost more than US$[-]!

And the meaning contained in it is also very obvious, the torch is passed on, and the three-pointer contest is contracted!

This made others envious, and Jordan even said sourly:

"Boss, can you sign one for me too?"

Wu Di laughed and said:

"If you catch me, you have to bring a championship to the team. Do you dare to catch it?"

Everyone burst into laughter instantly, Jordan has been playing for three years, and he hasn't hit a single three-pointer on the court.

Little Jordan blushed and said:

"What are you laughing at! I don't want to do this, or else I would have practiced it a long time ago!"

The rookie challenge finals counterattacked, the three-point shot contest broke the record, and the audience watched with gusto!

In the long-awaited, finale dunk contest is finally coming!
