king of defenders

Chapter 557 The first round, challenge leap!

Three other players who participated in the slam dunk contest also came to the court, namely Zach LaVine from the Timberwolves, Aaron Gordon from the Magic, and Andre Drummond from the Pistons.

Several judges, Wilkins, Mutombo, Tracy McGrady, O'Neal, and Magic Johnson also came to sit at the judges' bench. A VCR was played on the big screen first, and it was the first player to appear on the court, Andre De La Mond.

Andre Drummond is called Zhuang Shen by Chinese fans.

The reason why it is called "Zhuangshen" is actually derived from Drummond's name Drummond. According to the English pronunciation, the transliteration is similar to "Zhuang", and because he has excellent physical fitness, athletic ability, and rebounding ability Excellent, often able to get 20+ rebound data, so he is called "Zhuang Shen".

This is somewhat similar to Jordan's "God Joe", which actually means very powerful and perverted.

However, the slam dunk contest is not very friendly to inside players. Inside players are too tall and overweight. They cannot compete with outside players in jumping and staying in the air. The slam dunk requires jumping and staying in the air. Although inside players can also dunk , but it is difficult to make complex and beautiful movements in the air.

Therefore, inside players generally pursue creativity when participating in the dunk contest. For example, Howard won the dunk contest in 08 because of the creativity of the "Superman jersey". The distance and the difficulty of the movements are not too big, and it also depends on creativity.

But Drummond seems to want to tell others that I am me, a different fireworks.

He did not choose to start from creativity, but wanted to challenge the technical difficulty.

I saw Drummond standing on the right side of the basket, throwing the ball out, and the person also started, and after reaching the basket, he jumped up and grabbed the basketball at the same time, wanting to do a crotch change, and then put The ball dunks in.

The difficulty of this action is indeed not small.

boom!
With a muffled sound, the basketball hit the basket's neck.

"Not in."

"pity."

In the auditorium, the fans sighed.

This action is not small, especially for an inside player, who needs to glide from the right side of the basket to the left side and make a crotch change. The fans are actually looking forward to Drummond's completion.

It's a pity that it was still a little bit worse after all.

"Bouncing height and staying in the air are not enough. Moreover, he is an inside player after all, and his agility and coordination are still much worse than those of outside players. It is too difficult to complete such movements." Meng Yun quickly made a judgment. When Drummond picked up the basketball and returned to the original position, ready to try again, Meng Yun shook his head secretly, "It's too difficult, and the possibility of success is not high."

In fact, Meng Yun originally thought that Drummond would start from creativity and pursue creativity, but it turned out not to be.

Of course, if Drummond can score in that action just now, even if he can't get a full score of 50 points, he should at least get 45 points or more. After all, he is an insider.

"boom!"

There was another muffled sound, and Drummond failed again.

In desperation, Drummond could only change a simple action, and finally only scored 36 points.

The second player to play was Aaron Gordon.

Gordon is a striker with a height of 206 cm, but his physical fitness is very good, and his jumping and explosive power are amazing.

"Gordon, come on"

In the auditorium, some fans were shouting, but most of them were calm. What they were looking forward to was not Gordon, but the performance of LaVine and Meng Yun.

Gordon rubbed the ball twice, came to the right side and started a run-up. After reaching the basket, he hugged the basketball and exerted force with his legs. At the same time, the person also turned 180 degrees, tilted his body to face the basket, grabbed the ball with his right hand and poured it towards the basket.

Bang!
A loud bang.

The audience was boiling and the fans cheered.

One-time success, the crotch changed hands and dunked!

"The crotch changes hands, even with rotation, but the movement is not very difficult and lacks creativity. There are too many people who have used the crotches to change hands." Meng Yun nodded secretly, "But the degree of completion is very high. If the performance is successful and the jumping height is sufficient, the score should be above 45 points.”

Sure enough, the five judges gave the score, all scored 9 points, and finally scored 45 points.

Gordon smiled and sat on the sidelines.

"It's my turn." Meng Yun took a deep breath and stood up.

Meng Yun's VCR began to play on the big screen, and the clips were of Meng Yun's wonderful dunks in the regular season, each of which was amazing, causing the fans to scream loudly, and then stared at the court without blinking, their eyes glowing.

After the vcr was played, Meng Yun didn't start directly, but waved to the sidelines.

"Come on." Joseph Young hurried over, "Boss, come on, let them see how good you are, I'll blow their eyes."

"Don't talk nonsense, stand over." Meng Yun said.

Joseph Young shut up immediately, picked up the basketball and came to the front of the hoop, put the ball on his head, and held the basketball with both hands.

This was a move that Meng Yun and Joseph Young had practiced two days ago. Although he had almost never failed, Joseph Young still felt that he was in danger and turned to look at Meng Yun.

"Turn around, passive." Meng Yun shouted.

"Oh." Joseph Young stood up.

In the auditorium, many fans have already stood up, is it leaping Joseph Young?

This is difficult. Although Joseph Young's height is not very high among NBA players, he is still 188 centimeters. Is it possible to leap over him to complete the dunk?
Gordon's face changed even more, and he immediately stood up, not because of the difficulty of the Feiyue dunk. In fact, the Feiyue dunk is not a new trick. Some people have used it in previous dunk contests, such as the Feiyue mascot. The most commonly used, because the mascot looks very cute, and the height is not particularly high, it is relatively easy.

Gordon was surprised because this was originally his prepared action.

Of course, it's not exactly the same. Gordon was originally going to do a dunk over the mascot during the second dunk in the first round. The mascot put the ball on his head. To the other hand, it is equivalent to a leaping mascot plus a crotch change of hands.

If it can be deducted, it should be able to get full marks.

But now Meng Yun has taken the lead. Although the mascot has become Joseph Young, the routine is the same. Can Meng Yun still use it?
Of course not, the movements are the same, the mascot is not Joseph Yang Gao, and Meng Yun has already used it, so you can't give it exactly the same, can you?
And it's a lower version.

"This is the first dunk in the first round, and this guy actually challenged such a dunk." Gordon frowned, with a serious expression, "I can't help it, I have to come up with a more difficult second dunk later."
