Super All-around Point Guard

In order to defeat Xie Chen and win the championship, Karl Downs did not care about his face and reputation. He cheated twice in a row, causing Xie Chen to fall behind Downs.

In the end, the conspiracy succeeded, and he got a three-point shot earlier than Xie Chen.

As long as Towns can make this shot, he can win the championship. This is a view that almost everyone will agree with, but something happened today that no one expected.

Towns did score the goal, he did take the shot earlier than Xie Chen, and his ball also reached the basket earlier than Xie Chen's, but the final champion was Xie Chen.

The ball thrown by Towns hit the basket with a bang!

"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Towns himself tensed up. Is this ball about to be struck?

However, Towns discovered that although the ball did not directly enter the net, after hitting the basket, it bounced straight up into the air. After bouncing for a while, it fell again, and the direction happened to be accurately aimed at the basket!

"It's in! This goal is definitely in!" Towns suddenly turned from sadness to joy. It turned out that the ball had to bounce before entering the frame. Usually, this kind of "twisting" goal, as a professional player, Towns did not It's not uncommon.

But just when Towns' ball fell straight from the sky above the basket into the net, Xie Chen's flower ball suddenly appeared and hit the net first!

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Xie Chen's ball went into the net first, and then Towns' basketball followed closely!

"All of them got in!" Everyone was surprised.

Yang Jian shouted: "Towns shot the three-pointer first, but in the end it was Xie Chen who made the first shot!"

Zhang Weiping laughed and said: "Haha, both of them scored. It stands to reason that Towns, who shot first, should win, but his ball bounced on the basket, which delayed a little time and gave Xie Chen a chance. This This situation is really rare, the skill challenge championship that Xie Chen won was really dangerous, he was almost snatched away by a big man."

At the end of the skills challenge, Xie Chen defeated Downs with an extremely weak and dangerous advantage and won the championship of this challenge. The last goal also made the audience break into a cold sweat. No one expected that the final of the challenge would turn out to be It ends with such a dramatic scene.

"Ah! Why!" Karl Downs held his head and was annoyed. In fact, the big players in the competition had already gathered behind him. Once Downs defeated Xie Chen and won the championship, these guys would rush forward to celebrate for Downs. Unfortunately, I still haven’t waited for this moment.

Xie Chen also let out a long sigh of relief. It was really dangerous. If Downs was any luckier, he really wouldn't be able to win the challenge championship.

"Haha, Tang Si deserves it. You deliberately knocked off Xie Chen's ball before, so you have to taste the retribution, right?"

Many netizens also expressed their opinions.

Afterwards, it was time to award the winner of the Skills Challenge. This award was not what Xie Chen wanted most tonight. What he wanted most was naturally the winner of the slam dunk contest!

Next, Xie Chen will continue to participate and compete with Zach LaVine, Aaron Gordon, and Andre Drummond for the dunk contest championship. This will also be Xie Chen's last time participating in the dunk contest!

Even though everyone knew that this award was not the most important, Katie, as a wife, was still very happy to see Xie Chen receiving the award. After receiving the trophy, Xie Chen handed the trophy to Katie, and Katie held it in her arms. In my arms, I was very happy, as if I had received a long-awaited gift.

Regarding Xie Chen's next dunk contest, Katie naturally has great confidence in Xie Chen, because Xie Chen has told Katie all his secret weapons, and Katie believes that no one can defeat Xie Chen.

Before the start of tonight's highlight dunk contest, the two hosts also discussed this dunk contest.

Yang Jiandao: "This is the last dunk contest Xie Chen will participate in. Since Xie Chen defeated Zach LaVine in the All-Star Dunk Contest last year and won the dunk contest championship, he has been named the number one dunk player in history and even won the Carter’s recognition, so this slam dunk contest is also attracting much attention, and various celebrities are gathering at the scene. Regarding this dunk contest, what do you think, Director Zhang, and who do you think will be the final champion?”

Zhang Weiping said: "Those who participated in the slam dunk contest this year include Xie Chen, LaVine, Aaron Gordon and Drummond. Frankly speaking, Xie Chen and LaVine are on the same level, while Gordon and Drummond are The level is a bit worse. As a big man, Drummond wants to perform cool moves in the slam dunk contest, such as staying in the air, turning and so on. It is very difficult unless he is creative, but no matter how good the creativity is, It is also difficult to beat Xie Chen and LaVine. The same is true for Aaron Gordon. He is a very strong and violent dunker, but he cannot compare with Xie Chen and LaVine. Therefore, the final of this slam dunk contest will still go to Xie Chen. And LaVine, last year we basically saw what the matchup between Xie Chen and LaVine was like. Both of them have the strongest aerial skills in the world, and their movements in the air are very beautiful. Simply put, LaVine can do Xie Chen can do any action that Xie Chen can do, but LaVine can’t do the actions that Xie Chen can do.”

Yang Jian added: "Yes, in terms of staying in the air, jumping, and moving in the air, LaVine and Xie Chen can tie, but Xie Chen has two styles of dunks. In addition to elegant ones like LaVine, there are also many Violent and domineering, this gives LaVine no chance to win in front of Xie Chen. Unless he can be better than Xie Chen in his own style, otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat Xie Chen. I guess there will be no winner tonight. What suspense."

Before the game, everyone was basically optimistic about Xie Chen. Xie Chen's dunking ability impressed everyone so much. Basically in every official game, you could see him performing dunks as he pleased. Others always felt that He is not on the same level as Xie Chen.

This view may not be a good thing for Xie Chen, because everyone's expectations for Xie Chen are too high. Once Xie Chen does not perform well enough, people will be disappointed.

Aaron Gordon is waiting quietly to appear. He doesn't care what others think of him. The more you underestimate him, the stronger the sense of surprise he will give everyone when he shows his true strength!

First, before the players appear, the judges of this dunk contest will be introduced.

The first judge was Iceman George Gervin, and the second judge was Mutombo. When the camera was focused on Mutombo, Mutombo wagged his finger at the camera in a funny way. That was him. signature move.

After Mutombo, there is Tracy McGrady, who has not been seen for a long time. McGrady is wearing black-rimmed glasses and looks very handsome in a suit. Next to McGrady is Shaq O'Neal, who has always had a good relationship with McGrady. When the host started to introduce When O'Neal was playing, O'Neal was so funny that he took McGrady's glasses away from McGrady's face next to him, put them on himself, pretended to be in front of the camera, and then returned the glasses with a smile.

The last judge was Magic Johnson. Johnson also received the warmest applause at the scene.

The most exciting moment soon unfolded, Drummond was the first to appear!

A short video of Zhuang Shen was played on the big screen. Then, the music sounded and Drummond appeared domineeringly.

Yang Jian: "Drummond appeared. His appearance was similar to that of a boxer, but he didn't bring boxing gloves or anything like that. It was a simplified version. He was followed by two beauties."

In last year's dunk contest, all four participants were superstars. Although Zach LaVine was not included, he was more competitive than James on the dunk stage. Therefore, during the appearance ceremony, the contestants also spent a lot of money. A lot of effort.

This year is different. Not only was Drummond's appearance ceremony very simple, Xie Chen didn't even prepare for any appearance ceremony...

As the first player to perform, Drummond was obviously very nervous. He was also the only big man among the participating players. Unless he had particularly good ideas and particularly difficult moves, it would be difficult for him to qualify for the finals.

Drummond obviously knew this, so he chose a very difficult action for his first dunk.

I saw Drummond coming behind the backboard.

"Oh? It looks like Zhuang Shen wants to dunk from behind the backboard." Yang Jiandao.

Drummond blew into his hand, took a moment to catch his breath, and without wasting any time, he threw the ball in front of him toward the basket. After the ball landed, Drummond quickly followed up and threw it from the backboard. He jumped up from behind and after catching the ball in the air, he actually did a crotch dunk!

The scene was in shock!

This action is very difficult!

There was just a bang as the ball hit the basket but was not dunked.

Yang Jian also explained: "Oh, Zhuang Shen did such a difficult action right now. He got the ball from behind the backboard and then made a crotch dunk. This is really difficult for a player of his height. It’s very difficult, it was a very close deduction, if I had made it, I think I would have scored 10 points.”

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that Drummond really wants to squeeze out Zach LaVine, and he also wants to enter the finals, haha."

After the first dunk failed, Drummond continued to try for a second dunk. Everyone saw that he dared to challenge such a dunk and gave him a lot of applause. However, unfortunately, Drummond still failed in his second attempt.

"It seems that Zhuang Shen knows very well that his opponent tonight is too strong. With the strength of Xie Chen and Zach LaVine, they have basically booked two places in the finals. So if it is an ordinary dunk, then Zhuang Shen will not be able to win at all." It's impossible to reach the finals, so I can only take a gamble." Yang Jiandao.

Drummond also sighed at this time. If this dunk was successful, he might get a full score of 50 points and have a chance to advance to the finals. Unfortunately, his success rate in private training was not high. When he arrived at the scene, it was even more... It’s difficult to perform perfectly.

Helplessly, for his third dunk, Drummond chose a relatively simple action, a two-handed reverse dunk from behind the backboard.

Everyone knows that Drummond's score will not be too high.

Then, everyone turned their attention to the judges' seat. This time, the judges no longer used scoreboards, but buttons, and the scores were displayed on the display in front of them. In fact, for George Gervin and Magic Johnson, Players, they still prefer to use scoreboards, and are very resistant to such new things that can no longer be called high-tech.

Soon, the scores given by everyone were clearly displayed on the screen.

Magic Johnson scored 7 points, O'Neal scored 7 points, Tracy McGrady scored 8 points, Mutombo and George Gervin also scored 7 points.

Yang Jiandao: "In this way, Drummond scored 36 points. I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the finals with such a result."

Zhang Weiping also followed up and said: "Yes, I will definitely not make it. Aaron Gordon, who will play next, will also have a hard time advancing to the finals. The finals have already been booked by Zach LaVine and Xie Chen."

After Aaron Gordon's short film was played, Aaron Gordon appeared handsomely dressed as a magician. When he arrived on the court, he took off his suit domineeringly, but the response was not big. After all, everyone came to see Xie Chen and For LaVine and other players, no matter how gorgeous and cool the appearance ceremony is, it will be of no use.

Here, you get applause only if you dunk well.

Aaron Gordon was a little unwilling to face this weak response, and secretly said in his heart: "I will let you know my true strength soon!"

Aaron Gordon picked up the ball and said to himself: "Now I have to find a way to enter the finals. I have two dunks that will definitely get a full score of 50 points. If I use these two dunks first, I will definitely squeeze out La La. Wen made it to the finals, but if he wants to win, those two dunks must be reserved for the finals."

Unlike Drummond, if Aaron Gordon wants to squeeze LaVine into the finals, he can do it now, but he has to save his secret weapon for the end, otherwise he will also be beaten by Xie Chen's free throw line in the finals. By comparison, he only has two moves that can win at the free throw line.

I saw Gordon standing at the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, staring at the basket, patting the ball on the spot, and then quickly rushed towards the basket!

When he reached the basket, Gordon took off with both feet, turned in the air, and at the same time the ball changed hands from his crotch, and then dunked the ball into the basket!

Gordon succeeded the first time!

The first cheers sounded at the scene. Although it was not too enthusiastic, everyone felt that this kid can do it and he can dunk well.

Yang Jian also commented: "This is a crotch dunk action after turning in the air. It was done very well. Although the difficulty level is not too great and the creativity is not very exciting, Gordon's performance is very good. It is different from Zhan. Craven’s elegance and his dunks are obviously violent and beautiful, I don’t know if he can get 10 points.”

Zhang Weiping said: "Gordon's dunk was pretty good, but LaVine and Xie Chen haven't dunked yet. It will be difficult for him to score 10 points."

Zhang Weiping said it right, 10 points is not so easy to come by. If Gordon gave full marks for this goal, then if LaVine and Xie Chen's scores are better than this, how should we score to reflect the difference between the two?

Everyone at the judges' table also looked at each other and then gave their scores.

Yang Jian: "Magic Johnson scored 9 points, O'Neal McGrady also scored 9 points, yo, Uncle Mu and George Gervin also scored 9 points, all 9 points, so Aaron Gordon got 45 points in the first round, Not too high but not low either.”

After Aaron Gordon, the much-anticipated Zach LaVine will appear!

Zhang Weiping started to say excitedly: "Look, the 10-point dunk is coming soon!"
