Vol 3 Chapter 230: The rookie who took the dunk king

At the end of the first dunk, Mitchell took the lead temporarily.
Larry Nance Jr. is back on the court. Now, his pressure is not small. Like this kind of performance dunk, smaller players still have more advantages. Their movements are more stretched and more ornamental. Big dunks are generally more practical, and the movements are not too fancy.
However, he would not give up such an opportunity. Now that I have made it to the finals, I have to fight every word.
In fact, he has been carefully preparing for this dunk contest. Including his father's previous action to win the championship, it was said that he was not the most lethal. Assassin, must be left last.
Larry Nance Jr., holding the ball close to the backboard, tried it to find the feeling. He threw the ball to the backboard, jumped up to catch it, and retreated to the free throw line.
This is the bottom line.
Subsequently, Nance Jr. threw the ball to the backboard at the free throw line and then accelerated to the rebound. Jump high and catch the ball.
At this time, all the spectators, judges, and onlookers on the sidelines were very puzzled. This kind of action is too common, even if you add a big windmill, it is very common. Wanting to rely on this kind of action to win the championship is really a bit whimsical.
As someone who is dunking, Larry Nance Jr. is like a mirror. He knew that it would be impossible to score a high score without increasing the difficulty, so after receiving the ball, he pushed the ball to the backboard again at the highest point, caught the rebounding basketball, and then dunked the ball into the blue frame heavily. in.
This action was so fast that most people did not see what was happening. It feels like an uncharacteristic empty dunk, an action that can be easily completed in the game.
Little Nance was afraid that the judges would be wrong, so he took the initiative to step forward and explain his actions.
The live director immediately switched to the playback screen. Through slow motion, everyone finally saw the dunk action of Larry Nance Jr. this time. Especially when he hit the ball on the backboard for the second time, it played three times repeatedly.
After seeing the actions of Larry Nance Jr., the Staples Arena suddenly burst into applause.
With this buckle, Larry Nance Jr. performed perfectly. The movements on his hands are fast enough, and the ability to stay in the air is excellent. His ingenious actions conquered all the judges while conquering the audience. In the end, he got his first full score in the dunk contest.
But the situation is still very passive for Little Nance. The reason lies in his first dunk, and that dunk action is a bit too common. Next, as long as Mitchell scores 47 points, he can win the championship.
Now, it all depends on Mitchell's performance.
Mitchell, who returned to the court from the locker room, took off his jersey. At that moment, the whole Staples made a huge cheer. Because this guy wore a No. 15 Raptors jersey inside.
That is Vince Carter's jersey!
In the 2000 All-Star Dunk Contest, Vince Carter was wearing this jersey when he won the dunk king.
Now, that half-human and half-god man can no longer fly. But this alliance has never lacked his shadow. Many of his dunk moves were imitated by later players.
Once again seeing Carter's jersey in the dunk contest, the audience was still very excited. In the history of the NBA, there are more dunk kings, and more players have good dunks. But only Carter made the dunk his own mark.
Therefore, when Mitchell dunks, the momentum of the scene has reached its peak. This guy is also bold. You know, in the dunk contest, there are not a few people who pay tribute to their predecessors, but not many who imitate Carter. The few who are counted are all historical deductions.
An Luo didn't know if Mitchell was nervous, but he felt that if it was himself, he would definitely be nervous. When he first participated in the three-point contest last year, he felt a little nervous. Not to mention the current atmosphere is stronger.
The audience stood up.
This is not because of Mitchell, everyone wants to see, this young man can deduct a few points of Carter's shadow.
Still near the center line outside the left three-point line. Carter also started from this position.
Dribble with one hand, rush to the basket, take off, turn around, and dunk. All in one go.
Rotate 360 ​​degrees to catch the windmill dunk! Carter's first action in the dunk contest.
Mitchell copied Carter's dunk almost perfectly. The scene was full of joy, with shouts one after another. Even the DJ on the scene shouted desperately: It "sover!
Mitchell himself made the end gesture. Jr. Larry Nance took the initiative to get up and hug him. He also understood that once this action was completed, the champion would have no chance with him. But the opponent is very good.
Of course ~EbookFREE.me~ There is still a big gap between Mitchell and Carter. Carter's buckle back then gave people the feeling that the combination of elegance and explosiveness is seamless. And Mitchell's dunk is very explosive, but it is limited to this.
However, the judges still scored a high score of 48 points.
In the end, Mitchell defeated Larry Nance Jr. by 2 points and won the slam dunk contest.
In this scene, everyone inevitably thinks of another shooting guard. That is Kobe.
In 1997, Kobe, also a rookie, participated in the All-Star Dunk Contest and won the championship. How similar his experience is to Mitchell now. More importantly, they are all shooting guards selected with the 13th overall pick in the first round.
Since playing Kobe, the thirteenth pick has been given a different color. The guards selected in this position, especially shooting guards, have all played All-Star performance. Especially in recent years, the shooting guards selected by each team with the thirteenth pick in the first round have performed very well. LaVine in 14 years, Booker in 15 years, Anlow in 16 years and Mitchell in 17 years. Except for LaVine's season reimbursement due to injury, the other three players of these four guys are all 20-per game players this season.
God seems to have been given a mysterious power in this position.
So much so that now there is a saying: If you are the general manager of a team and hold the 13th pick in the first round, choose a shooting guard! Even if your team already has a stable starting point. Because of the shooting guard in this pick, it is not bad.
After the slam dunk contest, the game on the second day of the All-Star Weekend came to an end. The most exciting performance will be staged on the last day.
