Chapter 663: Trapeze


Compared with the subsequent NBA dunk contest, the 1984 slam dunk contest is quite simple in all aspects.
First of all, the process of the game is very compact. It does not give players more chances of trial deduction, but all have to pass at once.
Secondly, there is no gimmick. Players lined up to dunk under the staff's arrangement.
The reputation is good, and there is nothing too much for the show.
That year, the only dunk contest was only one, and it was about to happen to Julius Li Liang.
Participants in the slam dunk contest are still star-studded, including Michael Cooper of the Lakers, Larry Nance of the Suns, Darrell Griffith of the Jazz, Edgar Jones of the Spurs, and Ralph of the Rockets. Sampson, the Bulls' Orlando Woolridge, the Trail Blazers' Drexler, the Eagles' Wilkins, and Irving.
Of course, this year Michael Jordan has not yet entered the league, and the new trapeze will not shine until the next year.
The rules are simple, each person deducts three times, scores 50 points, and the top four enter the next round.
Then the top four are in the semi-finals, and each person has three chances, and the top two are in the final.
In the end, the two players in the finals played three matches to decide the champion.
In addition to the good looks to be deducted from this game, it is also very important to be able to get in and get accurate.
In history, Irving missed the championship because he didn't dunk.
The reason why Larry Nance won the championship is because he played very stable and made no mistakes.
Li Liang did a warm-up on the sidelines, adapted to this new body, and bounced. This bounce was really good.
Although Irving is 34 years old, his body is still well maintained.
You know, Irving was 42 years old, and in the charity heads-up game, Jabbar was 45 years old.
In the first round, Li Liang completed three slam dunks in a satisfactory manner, ensuring that he dunked every time.
Owen's hand is really huge, which allows him to stretch his body when he dunks without worrying about the ball falling.
Coupled with Owen's popularity, he easily passed the first round of the game and entered the semi-finals.
While Samps, Drexler and others were eliminated, it was Wilkins, Griffith, Nantes and Owen who advanced.
There was a little episode in the semifinals.
Wilkins' first two buckles are very beautiful, but the third buckle, the bottom line cut into the counter-slide that slipped over the basket, but only got 33 points.
The audience at the scene was booed, and finally the referee changed the sentence, giving Wilkins a score of 41 points.
However, 41 points did not allow Wilkins to reach the finals, and Nans and Irving performed even better.
Li Liang did not make any tricks in the semi-finals. He used the slam dunk plan in Owen's memory, self-throwing self-returning dunks, one-handed hands and two hands sliding over the rim of the back dunk, which also ensured that Owen entered the finals. Not surprisingly, it was Larry Nance.
Nance's play is very stable, and every dunk is done beautifully, so the total score is higher than Irving.
Therefore, Julius Li Liang took the lead.
At this time, Li Liang knew that he needed to come up with something different.
The first ball was relatively simple. Li Liang took the ball and rushed towards the basket, then took a two-step distance from the free throw line, then lifted the ball with one hand, made a 360-degree turn in the air, and then moved the ball Dunked into the basket!
This was the "rotation of the Statue of Liberty" slam dunk made by Stansberry in the slam dunk contest in 1986.
And this action allows Irving to complete, stretch more, and have a sense of stagnation.
Irving got a perfect score for this goal, 50 points!
Because of this dunking action of aerial rotation, few people used it before.
For everyone, it is very new.
Freshness is very important in the dunk contest.
The entire stadium was ignited at once, and the dunk contest entered a climax.
If only Irving contributed a wonderful performance, it would definitely not be enough.
Nans also immediately devoted his classic moves. He jumped from the bottom line and jumped with one arm in reverse!
This buckle is similar to the first buckle in his game. It turns a little more in the air, making it more difficult.
The ball got a high score of 48 points, and the game was full of suspense.
The next is the terrible second deduction, Li Liang decided to play some new tricks.
He saw Bill Russell, who was sitting on the sidelines as a guest host, and old Bill, who was not a coach or a manager, came to the NBA and Rick Barry to host the guest.
I have to say that this is a mistake.
Both men have bad tempers, and Barry is still a king with a bad mouth.
They matched together, and the stone really fell into the dunghole, stinking and hard.
But Li Liang didn't care. He whispered a few words to Russell in the past. Russell looked at Li Liang and replied: "Well, satisfy you."
Li Liang knew that he could make conditions with the NPC during the mission.
Maybe Russell in history will never agree, but he can.
The curiosity of the audience on the scene was mobilized. They saw Russell standing up from the side of the court and holding a stool in his hand.
He put the stool under the basket and sat back to back.
The fans at the scene were full of curiosity, and even the referees, the host, and all were whispering. What is this for?
Li Liang walked to Russell and handed the ball to Russell.
"I'll rush over later, don't be afraid, just throw the ball up and it won't hit you."
Li Liang this is to complete a dunk flying over Russell!
Although Russell is sitting, the difficulty is not particularly high, but this is the first dunk contest.
Everyone didn't expect that a tool man could enter the field. The key to this tool man was Dashan Russell.
The on-site commentary Dick Stockton realized what he said, "It seems that Julius Owen is going to fly over the Grand Canyon of Colorado!"
Denver is in Colorado, and the most famous scenery here is the Grand Canyon.
Li Liang has stood near the middle circle, ready to start sprinting towards the basket.
Russell is quite nervous, what should I do if he is killed?
What can I do? The system restarts.
Li Liang started accelerating and running, and he was — not right, confident in Owen's bounce.
Take off!
In fact, the take-off distance was not far away. Russell threw the ball into the air in a timely manner. Li Liang caught the ball with one hand in the air, his legs slightly bent, just passed Russell's head, and then an air relay took the ball. Dunked into the basket!
The scene was full of joy!
Tonight Irving wore a red 76ers jersey, and Denver's home color is also red.
This was the second deduction, and Li Liang scored another 50 points.
No problem, this is the key to Li Liang.
The pressure came to Larry Nance, he has become a supporting role completely, he knows it is difficult to surpass Owen.
Because Owen still has a big move that he didn't let go at the end.
Nance completed a simple vigorous dunk, and there was little reaction on the spot.
Taiping was uncommon, scoring only 33 points.
Now, everyone is just looking forward to Irving's last free throw dunk from the free throw line!
This is Irving’s once-reserved show during the ABA period and represents the limit of basketball’s horizontal jump and dunk.
In the 1970s and 1980s when basketball entertainment was not yet developed, TV broadcasting was not popularized, and video technology was lagging behind.
Many people have only heard about the free-throw line dunk and haven't seen it in person.
When Li Liang walked onto the court and began to walk across from the free throw line to measure the distance and pace, the applause and cheers of the stadium had already sounded.
Li Liang still felt a little uneasy in his heart, fearing that this action could not be done well.
But think about it, Irving has done this action countless times in history, he also succeeded in the slam dunk contest, what's wrong with it?
This person of Li Liang, other characteristics are not easy to say, this is really historical.
Perhaps it was this kind of self-confidence that led him all the way to today.
Li Liang started the sprint, he accelerated like a fighter.
The hardest part of the free throw line dunk is not the distance, but the pace.
How to take off at the fastest speed just where you step on the free throw line.
Once the pace is not right, all efforts have been abandoned.
Li Liang felt the wind whistling in his ears, and did not know whether it was an illusion or a feeling brought by cheers.
Step by step is very accurate, just on the free throw line ~EbookFREE.me~ take one foot jump!
Owen's jumping power is amazing, Li Liang feels that he really flew.
This feeling is really great.
When falling, he stretched his arms and dunked the ball in the basket!
The stadium instantly boiled, for the fans on the scene, this is a great dunk!
The cheers were much louder than the cheers at the Barclays Center tonight.
Here Li Liang felt the purest passion for basketball, blazing like flames.
50 points, 50 points without dispute.
Li Liang-Owen waved to the audience.
Regardless of whether he has ever won the key to the dunk contest, Irving is a generation of flying men.
From this year onwards, a new trapeze will arrive.
