Chapter 258 James Prepares to Participate in the Slam Dunk Contest
If James ignores Zhou Yang, people will definitely say that he is afraid of Zhou Yang.
Because Zhou Yang is also a star who combines strength and speed.
There are many similarities in the styles of the two, but James is more inclined to open and close, while Zhou Yang is more delicate and aesthetically pleasing!
In addition, James is now a superstar touted by Nike Sports, while Zhou Yang has not signed any sports brand yet.
Naike once contacted Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang resolutely refused.
So the two can now be said to be potential business rivals.
James' decision will affect Nike's huge business interests!
This topic is getting more and more fierce, and James can no longer be an ostrich.
So, at the press conference two days later, James resolutely announced: "I take back what I said before, I will participate in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest!"
As soon as this remark came out, a thousand layers of waves were immediately stirred up!
James' fans are so happy, they think James' dunk is the first in history, absolutely violent aesthetics!
But many black fans sneered, thinking that James was humiliating himself.
Zhou Yang's slam dunk beauty is as good as Jordan's!
And the last dunk champion was Zhou Yang!
Zhou Yang watched the discussion of these fans and couldn't stop laughing. James really participated, so he had to prepare well.
……
A week later, the star-studded NBA All-Star Game finally started.
This is a visual feast dedicated to all NBA fans, and it is also the biggest stage for the annual star gathering!
As a second-year rookie, Zhou Yang should have participated in the rookie competition.
But his level has far surpassed other rookies, so if he participates, others will not be able to play.
So Zhou Yang did not participate in the rookie competition, and both Curry and Harden participated.
The content of the first day of the All-Stars is the rookie competition for the first and second grades.
The game was fierce and exciting, and finally the first-year rookie defeated the second-year rookie 148:140.
In 28 minutes of playing time, John Wall made 9 of 5 shots, scored 12 points, and sent a record 22 assists. He was selected as the MVP of the rookie game!
However, the first-year rookie was able to beat the second-year rookie, and Cousins also contributed a lot. He scored the highest score of both sides, 33 points, and grabbed 14 rebounds, dominating the inside.
For the second-year rookie, Harden scored 30 points and Curry sent 8 assists.
Next is a new content of this year's All-Stars, the Shooting Star Competition, which mainly allows some retired basketball stars, women's basketball players, and active stars to make a long-range shooting game.
The significance of this content is to increase the influence of the WNBA and let celebrities come out to make their debut.
In the end, the Atlanta Hawks won the championship.
In the skill contest challenge, Curry participated, defeated Westbrook, Rose, Wall and Paul, and won the championship.
The gold content of this championship is still very high, because these opponents are all historical point guards.
In the three-point contest, Curry once again beat the pack.
James Jones, Pierce, Ray Allen, Wright, and Durant have all become Curry's opponents.
The slam dunk contest that fans have been looking forward to has finally begun!
Although there are five players participating in the slam dunk contest, all of them are dunkers—
Griffin, McGee, Ibaka, James and Zhou Yang.
But the eyes of the fans are all focused on James and Zhou Yang.
This is very unfair to the other three people. They don't want to be the background board, so all three people have serious expressions and hold their breath in their hearts.
They also want to show their talents in the dunk contest!
The audience stood up and cheered when the five came out.
This may be the most anticipated slam dunk contest in years.
The judges of this All-Star are also heavyweight.
Air Jordan!Alien Carter! Dr. J Owen!Glider Drexler!The essence of human cinema Wilkins!
Except for Carter, they are all retired superstars, and during their careers, their dunks have attracted countless fans.
These five judges are the most authoritative jury in history.
The first round of dunking begins!
First up is Griffin.
Although Shafen's wingspan talent is average and he is known as the "Tyrannosaurus Rex", his explosive jumping and domineering buckle are very eye-catching.
In addition to Zhou Yang, James, and Kobe, Griffin's dunks were also the hottest that year, and he often entered the top five goals.
The first dunk action designed by Griffin is to smash the ball on the floor, then jump up, grab the ball, and dunk in a big windmill!
To be honest, in actual combat, Griffin's dunks were really explosive, because there was a background board under his body, so it looked shocking.
But in the individual dunk, this action is very general.
Coupled with Griffin's short wingspan, it is not so beautiful.
The response from the audience was not so enthusiastic, only sparse applause.
The five judges scored 45 points, which is very low.
Griffin sighed, shook his head and walked to the sidelines. Zhou Yang had a good personal relationship with him, so he walked over to give him a high-five, and said a few words of comfort.
The second player to play is McGee.
As a center, McGee has top-notch physical fitness, and he is also very aggressive in dunking.
The dunk action he designed is to take two basketballs and dunk into the basket in turn.
This action is indeed very creative, but McGee's action is so messy that it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing.
So the judges gave 46 points.
McGee's personality is very rough and carefree, and he doesn't care, the focus is on participation.
The third player to play is Ibaka.
28-card physical fitness is too strong, and the shot-blocking king of the Three Realms is the ultimate manifestation of his talent.
His first dunk was also very domineering. It turned out to be a dunk from the free throw line!
In the history of the NBA, there are many players who can complete dunks from the free throw line, but there are not many players as tall as Ibaka.
28 calories, 2 meters 08, long body and long legs.
This dunk from the free throw line was done fairly well, a little better than those two just now.
The difficulty is also very high, but the aesthetic feeling is still insufficient!
Therefore, aesthetics is something that cannot be accepted, and some people are born with it.
For example, McGrady, he hasn't deliberately practiced his body, but his every move is elegant and beautiful!
The final score given to Ibaka by the five judges was 48 points, which is not bad.
After the three dunked, it was finally the ultimate showdown that the audience was looking forward to!
The crowd cheered as James took off his jacket and warmed up on the sidelines.
Zhou Yang also applauded generously on the sidelines, cheering for James.
James has a very serious expression. This is his first time participating in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. He is only allowed to win, not to lose!
After a few moves, James started his first dunk to the cheers of the audience!
The first dunk action he designed was often used in actual combat - the tomahawk dunk!
