Chapter 495 [A shocking leap, everyone expected it]

Among the four people participating in the dunk contest this year, except for Amare Stoudemire, the other three are not very famous. And Stoudemire is recognized by netizens as the person most likely to be eliminated.

Stoudemire participated in the slam dunk contest during his rookie season and could only accompany him. After Yang Rui watched his dunks in the team, he was convinced that he couldn't help him win the championship. His body was too hard, he only had explosive power, and he couldn't do fancy moves. Iguodala is different. He is an underrated dunker who combines jumping ability, explosive power and flexibility.

The game started, and JR Smith came on first.

This is a pity for a player. His physical fitness is not inferior to that of Kobe. He is also 198cm tall and his three-point accuracy is even better than that of Kobe. However, his highest achievement is only the Sixth Man of the Year. He is nicknamed "The Psycho Knife". He is characterized by intermittent ambition and persistent malaise.

The existence of JR proves the importance of golf intelligence. If he is not so nervous, he will definitely become a star.

In Yang Rui's previous life, when he was with the Hornets, he once only practiced mid-range shooting in training. The coach was so angry that he was unmoved. He was also a rap lover. When he played for the Nuggets, he On the bench, the opponent's player fell at his feet. He humiliated the opponent with an impromptu rap, which later triggered a conflict between the two teams.

A commentator commented: "If JR had half of Kobe's effort and golf intelligence, with his physical fitness... the achievements would be unimaginable."

JR changed hands and dunked the basketball from behind. This action is not considered novel now. The judges' tastes have been spoiled by Carter and Richardson. They collectively gave it 9 points, with a total score of 45. The audience's reaction was also mediocre.

The second player to appear was Josh Smith of the Hawks. The action he chose was very simple. He dunked at the free throw line, started his run-up from the bottom line of the backcourt, and the final distance of his jump was one step in front of the free throw line.

The free throw line dunk mainly showed his ability to stay in the air and fly into the air, but lacked creativity. Although his movements were very smooth, he only scored 45 points. Times have changed, and dunks from the free throw line no longer amaze fans.

Stoudemire, the third player to appear, also had reservations. He started from the baseline, dropped his hands, turned over and folded for a dunk, and succeeded once. The power of this ball and the height of the ball are good, but it is nothing new. It also only scored 45 points.

Iguodala came on the scene last, and his first action was a difficult baseline crotch change of hands and a backhand dunk! This action was very elegant and powerful. It was much more exciting than other people's first dunks. The judges unanimously gave full marks.

This puts Iguodala in a very advantageous position. As long as the second dunk is more than 45 points, he can advance.

In the second round, J.R. Smith played first. This time he asked his teammate "Birdman" Anderson to cooperate. The latter bounced the ball off the ground. Smith succeeded in an alley-oop half-turn dunk, but he still only scored 45 points.

Without creativity, you can't get high scores just by relying on the bounce height. This ball is very bland, and 45 points is a bit high.

Josh Smith came out and found Nets forward Martin to cooperate. Martin sat in the center of the penalty area and threw the ball. Smith took a step forward from the free throw line and leaped sideways over Martin to catch the ball with his left hand and dunk the ball in. This shot was very beautiful and scored 50 points, which attracted applause from the fans in the audience.

Stoudemire made his third appearance. He was also very creative. He cooperated with Arenas. He first threw the ball to the backboard and rebounded it. Then Arenas followed up with a header from the left side. Stoudemire jumped into the air. Then he half-turned and dunked the basketball in.

This is an idea that has never appeared in the NBA, and the referees also gave it a perfect score of 50.

Yang Rui was also surprised. Stoudemire no longer played with Nash, but this dunk action still appeared. It seemed that Stoudemire came up with the idea.

However, neither of the first two attracts fans as much as Iguodala. Before he dunked, people were shocked because Yao Ming came on the court to cooperate and stood under the basket with his back on his back.

Iguodala took the ball and stood in the midfield, patted the ball and relaxed, preparing for a run-up.

Zhang Lili said in disbelief: "Is he going to leap over Yao Ming and dunk? It's impossible, right?"

Yu Jia also sighed: "If it succeeds,

Definitely full marks, but at this height, I don't think he can succeed. This is a dunk that risks his life. "

Iguodala originally didn't believe he could do it, but Yang Rui taught him a way to press Yao Ming's shoulder with his left hand, so that he could jump higher with the support. Iguodala tried it twice in the team, and it worked. It showed not only jumping ability, but also Chinese kung fu...

Iguodala took a run-up, took off, held the ball high in his right hand, pressed Yao Ming's shoulder with his left hand to complete the leap, all in one move, and dunked the ball in.

The fans in the audience cheered together, and the judges were surprised. Watching the dunk contest live, it was easy to ignore his small gesture of pressing the shoulder.

Iguodala cheated on Nate Robinson by the way. In Yang Rui's previous life, Robinson cheated on Iguodala. This time Iguodala used a flying dunk. In the future, it will be difficult for Robinson to fly over Webber and Howard. It shocked the fans.

Iguodala scored two perfect deductions and advanced to the finals first. Stoudemire and Josh Smith both had 95 points, so overtime was required.

Both of them were depressed because they didn't have many prepared moves.

In overtime, Smith came on first, cut in from the left wing, jumped from the penalty area line, and dunked hard with his left hand, scoring another 50 points. In fact, his dunk action was average, but he put on an Eagles No. 21 Wilkins jersey, completing the tribute to his predecessors in the most traditional way and adding sentimental points.

However, he used his ultimate move in advance, and it would be difficult to deal with it later.

Stoudemire's action was to start from the baseline and run to the basket, change hands under the crotch, and dunk with both hands on his backhand. It took him four times to complete this action. The referee only gave 45 points, and Smith advanced.

In the finals, Iguodala was the first to appear.

Mo Williams passed the ball to him, hit the backboard outside the baseline and rebounded. Iguodala caught the ball, raised his head to avoid the backboard, jumped to the basket and dunked the ball with one hand.

Because of Yang Rui, Carter did this move in the 2000 competition, and Iguodala could only be considered a follower, but he still shocked people by completing it in one go, and the judges gave full marks.

It was Smith's turn to perform. He broke into the basket from the right wing, turned around in reverse and dunked 360 degrees with his left hand, similar to Carter's classic move, and scored 50 points.

Iguodala comes out and makes another trick.

Yang Rui thought about asking Iguodala to imitate Superman's dunk, but Iguodala was low-key, pragmatic and not a funny person, so Yang Rui gave him a different one.

Damon Jones arrived on the court, sat on a chair, and held a basketball in his hand. Iguodala patted a basketball and started running near the center circle.

The two guards and Yao Ming both participated in the dunk contest, which showed that the Lakers players were more united.

When Iguodala ran to the free throw line, Jones threw the ball up. Iguodala took off two steps before the free throw line. He grabbed a basketball with his right hand, received the pass with his left hand, and leapt past Jones with his legs. He dunked two basketballs into the basket in turn!

This is another creative idea that has never been seen before. The judges collectively gave it full marks, and the fans at the scene also shouted excitedly.

Zhang Lili said: "Iguodala's performance today was incredible. After Carter, there is another dunk king who has perfect scores for all his dunks."

Yu Jia laughed and said: "Brother No.1 said in an interview that Yang Rui provided him with several good ideas. Carter also said the same. Yang Rui is not only good at arranging tactics, he is also good at helping players come up with ideas."

Josh Smith had no inspiration. For his last dunk, he chose to take off from the free throw line and dunk with both hands. He stepped on the free throw line with his heels and dunked the ball. The judges only gave a low score of 41 points.

During the preliminaries, Smith had a one-handed dunk from the free throw line, a creative repetition.

Iguodala was crowned the dunk king as everyone expected!
