NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 205 Hot Eyed Dribble
After a rock performance, this year's 6 buckles will all be on stage.

East: Gerald Green, James White, Terrence Ross;

West: Eric Bledsoe, Jeremy Evans, Kenneth Faried.

After a while, a row of jury seats was placed in the empty midline position in front of the technical stage.

This year's judges are also as rumored, showing the authentic local characteristics of Houston.

Tomjanovich, Mutombo, Yao Ming, Olajuwon, and Drexler were seated side by side, with the highest altitude, and Yao Ming sitting in the middle also looked very popular.

It's just that the Houston local flavor is enough, but among these five people, Glider is a complete dunker, and his nickname is not randomly chosen. The other few don't seem to have anything to do with dunkers.

It would be better if Dayao, Dameng, and Uncle's opponents when they were doing background work were invited to be judges, ahem, Chen Xiao was irresponsibly daydreaming.

In the 07 Dunk King, Gerald Green in Indiana's yellow jersey played first.

In the audience's attention, Green brought Stephenson, who was on the same team as the passer, to the bottom corner.

The first dunk was immediately staged, and Chen Xiao, who was sitting in the front row, flipped through the number cards he had just received, preparing to give the first dunk the score he wanted.

Stephenson in front threw the ball to the edge of the backboard, and the basketball bounced back, followed by Green, who took a lunge and soared into the air, grabbing the ball with both hands behind the back of his head, exerting force from his waist and abdomen, and suddenly pulled it to his crotch, Buckle your hands behind your back into the basket.

"Woo!" Chen Xiao exclaimed, and the players and fans around him all exclaimed.

10 points, the opening of such a first dunk is perfect.

"Beautiful dunk, I will give 10 points! This is a good start for this year's dunk contest." Barkley nodded in praise in the TNT studio.

"That's right, it reminds me of his first dunk in 07. We just won the championship that year, and then I went to Las Vegas." Li glanced sideways, but obviously O'Neal hadn't triggered the "passive skill" and continued: "At that time, Pierce hit the ball to the side of the basket, and Green pulled the bar from the side to blast the ball into the basket. This ball should belong to that ball." Back button version, the effect is still amazing.”

Hearing O'Neal's words, many fans in front of the screen also recalled the slam dunk contest held in Las Vegas six years ago.At this time, the screen turned back to the judges' bench, and the fans who saw the judges' bench naturally remembered the biggest gimmick of the 6 slam dunk contest under the memories caused by O'Neal just now. The deduction of creative points for photo stickers is not favored, but the lineup of judges that has never been seen before or since.

5 slam dunk kings gathered together:
97年扣篮王“小飞侠”科比、00年扣篮王“UFO”“半人半神”卡特、85&90年扣篮王“人类电影精华”威尔金斯、76年（合并前ABA联盟）扣篮王“DR.J”欧文。

The first 4 suits and leather shoes, the fans may not be able to recall their specific clothes, but in the end when the live broadcast screen turned to the last judge, many fans must have been impressed, wearing a black leather jacket in 87&88 Dunk King "Fly" Jordan.

Comparing the judges of the two sessions, 7 slam dunk champions Vs 0 times, and the glider that participated in 5 slam dunk contests happened to be surrounded by the old 3 people and failed.

"It was a very demanding slam dunk contest back then. If I remember correctly, only the shot that allowed Green to win the championship was unanimously approved by the judges and won the only perfect score in the entire game." He was also the commentator of the game back then Barkley immediately recalled that scene.

The judges start scoring.

10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points.

The judges showed their Sprite 10 points.

The immediate replay added more details. In the replay from the frontal view, it can be seen that Green passed the basket over his head before completing the back button.

Wonderful dunk, 10 points worthy of the name.

Gerald Green got off to a good start, and then the Eastern team made the next dunk.

And two by two, a team of stewardesses who walked into the stadium also caught the attention of the fans. The stewardesses stood in two rows facing each other in front of the judges' bench.

James White in the distance is about to make his first dunk.

"It's not buckled yet, this is quite a gimmick." Walker complained, but his fixed eyes showed that this trick was also very effective.

Looking at White standing on the far diagonal of the court, Chen Xiao guessed that there should be a dunk related to the free throw line, and James White's two-handed free throw line is his special skill.

There was no time to guess more, Chen Xiao's eyes followed White, who was wearing the Knicks No. 4 jersey.

"Bang" was indeed at the free throw line, but he missed the first shot.

Everyone kept looking forward, waiting quietly for White's next attempt.

The free throw line stepped a foot away, White flew up, and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

There is a slight flaw, but the 5 celebrities on the judging panel are very tacit, all showing 9 points and 45 points.

"It's a good dunk, it's a pity, he can jump farther." Walker praised but still felt a pity.

Indeed, there is no problem with White's flying posture. It can even be said that he can definitely complete the dunk from the free throw line or even a step further. A two-handed dunk from the free throw line added a bit of blemish.

The last player in the Western Conference, T. Rose, comes on the court.

Throw fly, "bang", "bang", "bang".

Rose is not dunking, this is dunking.

The action he intended to make was absolutely wonderful, flying up at an angle, 360 degrees, and changing hands behind his back to buckle.

If you score a dunk, it's definitely a perfect performance.

But after missing the ball four times in a row, the expectations of the audience on the sidelines also became dull. The original "It's about to be dunked!" became "Okay, let's dunk it in."

Uncle Mu on the judges' bench even covered his head with his hands, unable to bear to watch.

There is also a time limit for each dunk, 1 minute and 30 seconds. After consecutive dunks, there are less than 20 seconds left at this time. The commentator and fans are guessing whether the request is stable. Let's make a simple dunk to stabilize the score first. At least there is still a chance for a second deduction.

But Rose, who still returned to the three-point line on the right wing, used his actions to show that he would rather bend than bend.

Receive the ball, get close to the basket, spin in the air, the person walks up, the basket goes down, the person is spinning, and the ball is also spinning. After completing the turn, the waist and abdomen use force to forcefully swing the ball around the back into the basket.

It has the taste of Richardson who twisted himself into a twist back then.

"Boom" Rose, who seemed to have lost his strength in the last dunk, completed it this time, and the quality did not decline significantly.

"This will be a 10-point shot." Chen Xiao judged, the quality of the movement plus the mental element.

Sure enough, the judges with the same score gave Rose a perfect score of 50 points for this buckle.

In this way, at the end of the Western Conference round, Green and Rose are both full marks, and White, who is 5 points behind, is in danger. No one doubts White's ability, but even if White completes a 720-degree twist dunk in the next dunk, that is 50 points, a full score Putting it here, will the other two opponents score less than 45 points at the same time and play abnormally?
White is basically out.

The East ended, and Faried in the West played first.

The first ball was missed, and the second ball was dunked.

But it's just a self-throw and a buckle, and the alley-oop is a small 360 degrees. It's not very round, and it feels a bit slow. At least for Chen Xiao, 8 points is the most.

Uncle Mu scored 7 points, and the other four judges scored 8 points, totaling 39 points. Send it directly. You can call a car first.

Bledsoe played, and Paul supported his teammates before the game, predicting that Blood Cloth will be this year's champion.

The tallest Faried performed poorly, and now the audience turned to Bledsoe, who is the shortest at 188.

This is similar to Rose's ball.They are all the same route, the same take-off feeling, but one is to circle the ball behind the back, and the other is to go under the crotch.

But the difficulty is unquestionable. Bledsoe also lost consecutive deductions, but he was not as good as Ross in this regard. After 4 or 5 consecutive deductions, with more than 40 seconds left, Xuebu chose to change his action.

He jumped up and hit the backboard with the ball with both hands, turned around in the air and exerted his force a second time, and dunked into the basket with one hand.

The visual effect of the little man doing this action is still good, full of tension, but the difficulty is still normal.

With 39 points, he and Faried have become brothers and sisters. In contrast, Rose can play in the West.

Chen Xiao was not very optimistic about the Western Conference before, and that was completely fulfilled. Only the defending dunk king Evans has not yet appeared. Let's see if he can show his strength.

Evans, who won the championship with two smashes last year, immediately appeared on the Jazz wearing the No. 40 jersey.

A tall old man with gray hair came on stage.

Jazz legend, Mark Eaton, nicknamed "Mammoth". Eaton, who was born in 57, is now 56 years old, but his figure has not shrunk at all. Standing next to Evans, who is 2 meters tall, the feeling of "Mammoth" immediately returns. .

Hey, are you flying to Eton?Eaton is 2 meters tall and the same height as Chen Xiao. If Evans can fly over Eaton, it will definitely be the highest altitude ever flown in the history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

But at the same time, there was a staff member who put a small table in front of the basket. Evans and Eaton had a few words, and Eaton sat down slowly.

this?It seems that there are other tricks, Chen Xiao continues to look forward to it, after all, he is the defending dunk king.

Eaton sat on the left side of the basket, kept smiling, held the ball in one hand, faced the basket, and turned his back to Evans who was about to start in the corner.

It just so happened that Chen Xiao and the Eastern All-Star players were either standing or sitting on the side facing Evans, and Chen Xiao was waiting for Evans to do something.

Flying, but flying and sitting Evans.

Jumping Evans, with his legs spread apart, straddled Eaton who was sitting, grabbed the ball with both hands, and crashed in the air.

This is a failure when people get up and the ball is not adjusted properly.

Facing the old mammoth on Chen Xiao's side, his original smile was a little awkward, he adjusted his sitting posture, and then raised the ball again.

"Bang" this time it flew and was dunked, but it was not dunked.

"Bang" missed three times.

After consecutive misses, Evans didn't count as deducting his own fatigue, but he was tired of raising his hand to the old man.

In the last 30 seconds, Evans and Eaton exchanged a few words, but they still had to buckle as they were.

Keeping the distance and adjusting his breathing, Evans raised his legs and started.

Leaping up in big strides, with his feet spread apart, he took the basketball from Eaton's hands with both hands, and clasped his hands sideways from bottom to bottom like a basket.

"Wow." The originally bright lights in the audience dimmed immediately, and the light ball that came back on flashed above Evans' head after hitting the basket a few times.

With 47 points, the three judges felt that it was still a bit flawed.

According to Barkley, who was in the TNT studio at the time, "You might as well fly Boggs directly."

There seems to be nothing wrong with him. Eaton, who is 2 meters tall, may not be 21 meters tall sitting on a short platform.

At the end of the first round, the East is basically a choice between Green and Rose. Evans, who leads the other two in the West by 8 points, can enter the finals as long as he dunks into a basket of normal quality.

In the second round, the order from east to west was still the same, with White, who had the lowest score, appearing first.

Unlike the high-spirited one before the first dunk, the ultimate dunk king was a little less motivated at this moment.

This championship is missed, let’s try to leave a classic in the end, at least others will not leave a sentence of "James White has not proved himself in the NBA All-Star Game" when counting the wonderful dunks in the dunk contest.

It was still luck from the far end of the court, but this time he almost lost the ball while dribbling before he even dunked on the first try.

In Chen Xiao's view, this is the reason why White didn't know the right position for the last ball. He stumbled and stumbled when he dribbled the ball, and he didn't catch the ball neatly. Why are you obsessed with dribbling your ball?
If you were like Michael Jordan, if you dribbled the whole court and dunked at the free throw line with perfect rhythm, then it would be no problem, but like now, stumbling, running a full court and not knowing how many times to walk, this is unsightly Yes, it even has a certain impact on the enjoyment of subsequent dunks.

It's better not to dribble at all, and it's not without precedent. Jordan's idol, Dr. J, dunked with the ball in the 76 slam dunk contest, and the Suns' slam dunk king, Ceballos, did the same.

The second dunk is still a bad dribble, losing rhythm, let alone a dunk, he can't even control the ball when it flies.

Chen Xiao covered his eyes, looking at whether White, who could fly or not, couldn't help but think of a web article he had read. I don't know when he read it. It seemed that he was reborn as White, and then killed all directions. Only White's luck The ball is almost out of reach now, and it's killing the Quartet.

Three people flashed through Chen Xiao's mind, and they might have a little bit in common.

James White → Josh Smith → LeBron James.

Of course, the length and thickness of this evolutionary arrow cannot be generalized. At least three of them are close in height, and they all have something in common that they can fly and buckle.

Turning his attention away from the field, he only ran for two rounds, and the basketball hadn't even touched the basket. It took 30 seconds.

But it seems that White is going all out and showing off his special skills.

There are a bunch of players in front of him, James and Anthony are all standing and watching wearing sunglasses, which greatly affects Chen Xiao's vision.

Chen Xiao was also about to stand up, turned his head to look, and there were many rows of people behind him.

Now, Chen Xiao, who knew the effect of his height's concealment, still had a sense of public morality, so he sat beside him.

"Hey, LeBron, Anthony, move away." With one hand and another, Chen Xiao finally opened his eyes.

Another stroke of luck, a little better this time, as White leaps from a 45-degree position at about the free-throw line, walks through the air, switches hands and pulls out a pinwheel dunk.

"哐" did not buckle in.

The on-site commentator gave an "Ou" regretfully, the dunk was a full score no matter what.

ah?This time it was not only Chen Xiao, but also the fans beside the players and behind them all let out an ah.

White, who moved into the three-point line this time, was about to take off when he dribbled the ball away.

Come on.This slam dunk contest is heading towards comedy.

Spike Lee on the sidelines supported his head with his hands, and couldn't help laughing when he looked a little sleepy, at least he wouldn't fall asleep.

"There is a reason why this guy went to the European League before. His ball skills are too bad." Barkley, who dared to speak, complained directly in the studio.

In fact, what Barkley wanted to say more was that this kid's brain is not very good, but it seemed too aggressive to say it, so Fatty still kept his mouth merciful.

"bang" "kuang"

Another two failed windmill dunks from the free throw line. At the age of 31, James White, who was once circulated in mythology, bid farewell to the slam dunk king.
