Chapter 137: The last dunk contest

　　 In the high-level box of Gund Arena.
　　 David Stern was following the call.
　　 "What? The ratings are still dropping very badly?...Cancel the dunk contest? Hen~It's okay, let's see."
　　 toot toot~~
　　 David Stern put down the phone in his hand, rubbed his chin with his hand, but his eyes were looking at the court under the box.
　　 The ratings of dunk contests in recent years have not been high, which is a bit of a hindrance.
　　 Before the slam dunk contest this year, the league announced that the 1997 slam dunk contest will be the last.
　　 Despite this, it still failed to attract the participation of big-name stars.
　　 "Those guys will disdain it after they become famous, right?"
　　 At this time, the door opened.
　　 "President, are you looking for me?"
　　 There was a faintly respectful voice.
　　 Stern didn't look back, and asked casually, "Duckdan, do you think it is necessary to continue the dunk contest?"
　　 Yadan, of course, knows what Stern is worried about, "Well~ I think it's better to stop as soon as possible."
　　 "Then what if these guys are brilliant today?" Stern asked unexpectedly.
　　 There are three or two kittens this year, what's so great? Duck Dan just wanted to say "impossible", but he didn't say it.
　　 He turned to say, "If that's the case, we have to think about it."
　　 "hen~"
　　 Stern shook his head, a little disappointed. Then he turned around and looked at the duck egg-joke.
　　 Stern was surprised when he saw the purple face of the duck egg.
　　 "Hey? Duck egg, what happened to your face?"
　　 Yadan hurriedly blocked it with his hand, "Huh? It's all right, President, I just accidentally fell and knocked."
　　 "Oh, look down at the floor when you walk, don't just look at the ceiling."
　　 Stern dropped a word profoundly, and then turned around.
　　 "Well, I know, I will be careful in the future."
　　 Yadan is very humble, but he is thinking
　　 "Is the old man criticizing me for having low eyes and low hands? But where do I have low eyes and low hands?"
　　......
　　 The lights on the spot have dimmed a bit, and the dunk contest is about to begin.
　　 "First of all, we welcome the judges of today's dunk contest."
　　 "First Generation Glider" Fezer, Iceman Gervin, journalist Lanier, Dr. J Irving and WNBA star Leslie.
　　 Everyone is a well-known person, and the audience was applauded.
　　 When it comes to the players, the atmosphere is different.
　　 There was no star in the last dunk contest. The 6 players in this competition are all new players in the league!
　　 Philadelphia 76ers rookie, Li Nan,
　　 Dallas Mavericks second grader, Michael Finley,
　　 Denver Nuggets rookie, Darwin Hamm,
　　 Los Angeles Lakers rookie, Kobe Bryant,
　　 Milwaukee Bucks rookie, Ray Allen,
　　 At home the Cleveland Cavaliers sophomore, Bob Sura.
　　 When the 6 players entered the field, the applause was sparse, and it was much colder than the judges who entered the field just now.
　　 Of course, Li Nan, who just won the three-point championship, unexpectedly received a lot of applause.
　　 The three-point contest champion is popular in the dunk contest, which is somewhat ironic.
　　 This is a protest from the audience against the alliance.
　　 In the commentary, Matt Gokas joked without knowing it, "Wow, Lee turned out to be the most popular, Groom, I think you are likely to be the big winner in the end."
　　 Groom-Albert smiled bitterly and accepted his fate, "Well, thank you for your kind words!"
　　 Groom-Albert still "knows" Li Nan's dunk level. There have been windmill dunks and tomahawk dunks. They are all pretty good-looking. But, can those moves really win the championship? Groom Albert is not hopeful.
　　 He just hopes that someone can pop up suddenly today and save the world. If there is no slam dunk contest for the All-Star next year, the groom will always feel that something is missing.
　　 "Oh, here, here, look at the groom, the first one is Lee!" Matt Gokas felt a little gloating.
　　 Groom Albert sometimes really wants to gag Matt Gokas.
　　On the field, Li Nan was the first to appear again.
"Wow!"
　　 The cheers and applause at the scene were a bit enthusiastic, but the mockery in it was really obvious.
　　 Standing on the court, Li Nan frowned.
　　 To be honest, Li Nan doesn't want to participate in this dunk contest.
　　 is not because the player's strength in this session is really too weak, but because the current dunk contest rules are not perfect.
　　The current rule is this:
　　 The preliminaries are three deductions within two minutes to take the best one. If you fail to make a deduction, you will miss one chance.
　　 In the finals, the players take turns to deduct twice and then take their highest scores. If you can’t get in, you can’t try a second time.
　　Because I can't try it a second time, everyone dare not take too much risk. The action chosen is more conservative and cannot reflect the highest level.
　　 If such a rule was in the year 2000, then Carter's crotch change would fail. Carter can't win the championship, the fans must be crazy.
　　 However, now that he is here, Li Nan naturally has to play a good role to help the American basketball team improve the level of the dunk contest.
　　 Hostess Berry stood beside Li Nan, and even had an interview before the game started.
　　 "Lee, you just finished the three-point contest and you appeared in the dunk contest. Do you have confidence in this game?"
　　 "No, I really don't, I just came to learn how to dunk from others."
　　 What a humble guy, but what Berry saw from Li Nan's face was confidence.
　　 "Well, good luck to you."
　　 Berry said this again. She remembered saying this before and Li Nan won the three-point championship.
　　 It won’t be so coincidental this time, right?
　　 bang bang bang!
　　 Li Nan stepped onto the court and dribbled the ball vigorously.
　　 "Lee, are you ready?"
　　 "OK!"
　　 "go!"
　　 The two-minute timer at the scene began.
　　 In the commentary, Matt Gokas stared at the court, but his mouth was teasing the old groom with great interest.
　　 "Groom, what kind of action do you think Li will do? Will he have a crotch to change hands and dunk~ Oh~EbookFREE.me~No!"
　　 Halfway through Gokas's words, people suddenly jumped up.
　　 Li Nan’s first action was really a slam dunk with a change of hands!
　　 Matt Gokas, in! prize! Up!
　　 The fans in the audience also stood up like him.
　　 "Oh Mygod! Oh Mygod! Oh Mygod!"
　　 "It's really a slam dunk with a change of hands!"
　　 "The take-off height is good, the action is completely stretched out, very chic, very elegant, this is definitely a perfect score!"
　　 "This is the first time that the dunk contest has changed hands under the crotch!"
　　 "The first buckle is so powerful, what about the second buckle?"
　　 The audience all had unbelievable expressions, but they all held up 10 points.
　　 On the sidelines, Mutombo's eyes widened, his mouth grew big, and he kept shaking his head, "Wow!"
　　 On the player bench, the five players also had different expressions. Some were panicked, a little surprised, and some were anxious.
　　 Kobe's eyes are also a little strange.
　　 At the commentary, the old groom was surprised in his heart, but forcibly pressed it down. "Everyone, everybody, Lee's second goal turned out to be with teammate Iverson. What tricks will he play?"
　　On the court, Iverson stood in the paint holding the ball.
　　 Li Nan ran in slowly.
　　 The audience involuntarily calmed down.
　　 The first one is a beautiful crotch hand change, what about the second ball?
