Super All-around Point Guard

Unconsciously, a whole year has passed. Last year's All-Star Weekend in New York made Xie Chen famous all over the world. He shot Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, James Harden and others in the three-point contest. In the All-Star game, LaVine shocked the world with his long-hidden dunk ability!

Xie Chen still remembers the moment when he dunked in the All-Star Game. James passed the ball to Xie Chen from behind. Xie Chen took off on one foot and passed his left hand behind his back to his right hand to complete the dunk. The whole Madison Square Garden was excited!

Last year's All-Star Game, there were so many things worth remembering. Xie Chen also won the MVP of the All-Star Game. He basically took over the All-Star Weekend. He is the most shining star in it. In addition to basketball, there are also sports Scarlett said that she will also go to watch the show this year. I wonder if Scarlett will let her down this time.

After playing against the Grizzlies on the 10th, Xie Chen returned to New York on the 11th and parted ways with his teammates. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Weekend from February 13 to 15. The New York Knicks only have Xie Chen and Anthony. After being selected for the All-Star Game, Porzingis is going to Toronto because he is a rookie this year and is going to participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

Others, such as veterans such as Ray Allen Odom, will stay at home to spend time with their families or go out for two days during the All-Star Game, and they will be happy and relaxed.

In the two days before going to Toronto to participate in the All-Star Game, Xie Chen was not absolutely relaxed. He had to prepare for one thing, and that was the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

If we want to talk about the most exciting event in this All-Star Game, it is definitely not the All-Star Game on the last day, but the Slam Dunk Contest!

Xie Chen's participation alone is enough to attract the attention of many fans. This year's slam dunk contest also attracted LeBron James, who has been the league's number one for a long time! You know, how many people around the world are looking forward to James participating in the dunk contest! This time the opponent is Xie Chen again. In addition to Xie Chen, there are also last year's dunk contest champion Zach LaVine and violent dunk star Westbrook. Needless to say, this is definitely the most beautiful dunk contest in recent years. Some people have even said that This one will surpass the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest.

If you want to win the dunk contest, you must have strength, but more importantly, creativity and action. What kind of dunk action to choose is a question that all four people must carefully consider.

Cleveland, James' basketball gym.

LeBron James, James' agent, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, several people gathered together, and they were all making suggestions for James' next dunk contest.

James has been preparing for the slam dunk contest since the previous week. He has thought about a few moves and his training has been very good. He just tried one and several teammates all clapped and praised them. James also asked them: "Brothers , do you have any good dunk moves? Recommend it to me quickly, the dunk contest is only a few days away."

Irving smiled and said: "It seems that you attach great importance to this dunk contest. I think the action you just performed was very good. It was difficult and showed your dominance. The dunk contest has been going on for so many years, and good actions have basically been eliminated." Others have played it, and no one can come up with something new. I think you should think about what kind of moves Xie or LaVine will make, know what the opponent is playing, and then carry out targeted PK, it will have good results. .”

James nodded, touched Irving's head, and said with a smile: "You're right, brother. As for what LaVine and Xie will do, I can guess pretty much. You can tell by referring to LaVine's actions in the dunk contest last year. , it’s nothing more than changing hands and turning in the air. Their dunks are indeed beautiful, but not as powerful as mine. I believe my dunks will shock the audience even more!”

Seeing that James was so confident, Love did not forget to remind him: "LeBron, you need to shock not only the audience, but the most important thing is the judges, especially the great Jordan."

James knew that Jordan liked Xie Chen more, and his attitude towards James had never been very good. Even though James said Jordan was his idol countless times, James quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I believe he and Vince will give me high marks." .”

At this time, Dellavedova on the side came forward and said: "Why do you only talk about thank you and Zach LaVine, but not Russell Westbrook?"

James chuckled softly: "Westbrook was dragged up by Xie to make up the numbers. He has nothing to fear, and he can't do any dunk tricks. If he was shorter or taller, he would pose a threat to me. , but now he doesn’t need to think about it.”

Dellavedova nodded and continued to ask: "Boss, during the dunk contest, do you need me to pass the ball to you? Or do you want to dunk over my head?"

James touched his chin: "If I'm passing the ball, I'll ask Love or Irving to help me. As for leaping over people's heads and dunking, I'm tired of it. I don't really want to do it for the time being. Let's wait and see if necessary. If so, I will inform you."

Seeing Dellavedova trying to help James dunk, Love suddenly had an idea in his mind. He excitedly grabbed James on the spot and said, "LeBron, I thought of a dunk action for you!"

James rarely saw Love so excited, and immediately realized that this was definitely a good idea, and quickly said: "Brother, what did you think of, tell everyone quickly!"

Love turned his attention to Dellavedova, then patted Dellavedova on the shoulder and said: "LeBron, compared to Zach LaVine and Xie, your advantage is strength. You are a powerful dunker. Then Why not show your advantages to the extreme!"

James is still confused: "I don't quite understand, how can I show my strength to the extreme in a dunk? Also, what does this have to do with Della?"

Love smiled and said: "I thought of a move for you. When you dunk, let Della rush towards you. After you knock Della away in the air, you dunk the ball hard! With your physical confrontation ability, Della Della will definitely be knocked out by you. Of course, Della can also be more exaggerated and fly farther. This kind of dunk will definitely shock the judges, and it will knock away the opponent's dunk. All-star No one ever uses the dunk contest!”

James smiled from ear to ear after hearing this: "I like this action! I have always felt that dunking in a dunk contest is not as interesting as dunking in an official game, especially since I can't enjoy the fun of dunking on someone, but showing off my actions is not what I like. , dunking opponents is what I’m best at! Della, are you willing to help me with this? You may be injured!"

Dellavedova has always wanted to do something to help James. When he saw that the boss was finally useful to him, he quickly said excitedly: "I do!"

James said proudly: "Thank you, you will definitely lose this dunk contest!"

…

Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Even though he won a dunk contest championship last year, the most nervous and concerned player in this year's dunk contest is none other than Zach LaVine. He started thinking about the dunk contest actions a month ago and performs them every day. Training, even the training for the slam dunk contest is more important to him than the official game.

Even though he has won the slam dunk contest once, LaVine will face opponents of a completely different level this time. Almost none of last year's contestants are well-known. Winning the championship will not have much influence. It will only make people think that you are It's just a good dunk, but this year is different. This year's opponents Xie Chen, James, and Westbrook are all the top five in the league today!

LaVine has no hope of defeating them in official games, and he is not even qualified to challenge them, so he really wants to defeat them in the dunk contest!

In the basketball hall, watching Zach LaVine dunk another beautiful dunk, teammate Wiggins clapped his hands and said: "Brother, your dunk is even better than last year. I believe you can win the championship!"

Facing the encouragement from his teammate Wiggins, LaVine remained silent and looked very worried. He picked up the basketball and walked to Wiggins and said: "You and Xie are both players in the same class. I don’t know how long I have to wait for this opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game. This All-Star Weekend, only the Dunk Contest is my stage, and I must win another championship!”

Wiggins patted LaVine on the shoulder to encourage him. He could still understand LaVine's current mood. Wiggins averaged 23 points per game this season, and the Timberwolves' record has improved tremendously compared to last season. They still have a very good chance of entering the playoffs, so Wiggins was also selected as an All-Star this year, but last year Wiggins Scott didn't have this honor, but Xie Chen, who was in the same class, was selected as the top vote-getter. The most uncomfortable person at the time was Wiggins, a player in the same class. LaVine looked at both Xie Chen and Wiggins. How could he feel better when one by one became superstars?

However, LaVine himself also knows that there is a big gap between his own strength and the two of them. First of all, he does not have a particularly strong body and does not have a good shot. He only has speed and jumping, so he cannot gain a foothold in the NBA. Therefore, he clearly knows that if he wants to become famous now, he must rely on dunks.

Zach LaVine said: "Xie's dunk is similar to my style. I am confident to beat him. Russell Westbrook is not a threat. The most terrifying thing is LeBron James. He is too popular and looks like him." If such a quasi-Hall of Fame player is willing to participate in the slam dunk contest, in the past, he would definitely be the champion."

Wiggins comforted LaVine and said: "You are right. Neither Xie nor Westbrook is your opponent. LeBron James's style is completely different from yours. Although more people like violent aesthetics, don't forget that James has already He is no longer young, he is already 31 years old, there is no way he can win you, you will definitely be the champion!"

After hearing what Wiggins said, LaVine nodded excitedly and said to himself: "Thank you, you will definitely lose this slam dunk contest!"

…

Oklahoma City.

Unlike several other dunk contest contestants who are actively preparing for the competition, Westbrook is not busy practicing dunks or thinking about moves, but is staying in his dressing room at home.

Westbrook's wife Nina suddenly burst in and was immediately shocked: "Oh, my God, honey, why are you here? KD just called you to ask how your preparations for the dunk contest are going, and do you need his help? Thinking of creativity, I thought you were practicing on the basketball court, how could you..."

Nina never expected that Westbrook would still have the leisure to stay here. Westbrook took a red frame and said: "You came just in time. How about I wear these glasses to Toronto? Oh, and this one. Is the hat particularly cool and well-matched? Please give me some advice."

Nina almost fainted. The slam dunk contest is a competition that fans all over the world are paying attention to. Why does Westbrook seem to not care at all, or is he already guaranteed to win?

Nina said: "Are you not worried about the dunk contest at all?"

Westbrook then answered: "I don't really like the dunk contest in the first place. I participated this time purely because I lost a bet with Xie, and it's useless to worry. There's no way I can win the championship."

After hearing this, Nina looked unhappy and said: "Xie is so annoying. He insists on dragging you to support him in the All-Stars to fulfill himself. I won't congratulate him if he wins the slam dunk contest."

Westbrook smiled softly: "Dear, thank you for not winning the slam dunk contest."

…

It seems that everyone thinks that Xie Chen can't win the dunk contest championship. His three opponents look down on him, let alone fans all over the world. Everyone has known about Xie Chen's dunk ability for a whole year. This time Over the past year, Xie Chen has to dunk almost every game, and he has to do tricks every time. Basically, everyone has seen what Xie Chen can do. In this case, compared with James and LaVine, it is indeed There is a chance to win the championship, but the hope is not great, because first of all, he is too similar to LaVine, and their styles are exactly the same. However, LaVine became famous before him. Even if it was just one day earlier, Xie Chen did not show any transcendence. LaVine's ability, therefore, LaVine will definitely be able to stand in front of Xie Chen, not to mention James, a great master, whose "face points" alone are enough to suppress Xie Chen.

New York.

On the basketball court in Xie Chen's villa, Xie Chen, Katie, manager Wang Zhihui, Anthony, Ci Shiping and others gathered together, all making suggestions for Xie Chen's dunk action.

Regarding dunk ability, Xie Chen is not worried. He has both beautiful and violent dunks, but the creativity of dunks is a bit troublesome. The dunk contest has been going on for so many years, and basically all the actions that can be done have been done by others. How to make the game feel fresh again?

Xie Chen said worriedly: "I kind of regret that I always do fancy dunks in official competitions. I've done everything I can do in normal times. I'm afraid it won't feel fresh if I do it in a dunk contest again."

Wang Zhihui also followed up and said: "I have warned you a long time ago, just dunk it in casually. Playing tricks will also consume your energy."

Suddenly, Anthony said: "I thought of a great idea for you!"
