Vol 3 Chapter 229: Dunk Contest

The slam dunk contest has always been the most eye-catching event in the All-Star weekend apart from the main game.
An Luo returned to the audience with his own three-pointer trophy and check contentedly. Next, there will be nothing for him. For the dunk contest, An Luo is still very much looking forward to.
However, this year's dunk contest was somewhat overshadowed. Of the four players who were determined to participate in the dunk contest, the Orlando Magic power forward Aaron Gordon withdrew from the dunk contest because of a sprained left hip flexor. Jazz player Donovan Mitchell replaced him. The remaining three players remained the same. Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo, Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance Jr. and Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith can all participate normally.
The first player to appear is Mitchell. This rookie has often performed pretty dunks in previous games. Physical fitness and jumping ability are top in the entire NBA league. The only flaw is that he is too short and suffers a bit from playing the second position. His first buckle shines in the preparation stage.
Mitchell used a pre-prepared backboard, which seemed to be a big move. However, when he dunked, An Luo was a little disappointed. He threw the ball to a farther backboard, received the bounced ball in the air, and took advantage of a big windmill to slam the ball in.
9 points, 9 points, 10 points, 10 points, 10 points.
Although the difficulty of this buckle is not particularly large, but fortunately the creativity is very good. In addition, it was a success, so the scores given by the referees were not low.
The second player to play was Anlo's teammate Oladipo last season. Speaking of this guy, being traded to the Pacers last summer really helped him. This season, he led the Pacers who lost Paul George. Instead of sinking, he advanced all the way to fourth place in the East. His personal data is also quite beautiful, averaging 20-5-5 per game. And with his outstanding performance, he was selected for the All-Star Game this season. Once again, it has been verified that the products produced by Thunder must belong to the iron law of quality.
His dunk is really difficult. Turn around 180 degrees and pick up the windmill back buckle with both hands. It was a pity that I tried three times but failed. In fact, he jumped high enough, but the subsequent movements were a little slower and didn't keep up. In the end only scored 31 points, basically missed the finals.
Oladipo himself is also very helpless! Spread his hands and shook his head constantly.
Then came Smith, who had been renamed the Mavericks. His first buckle also failed, but then he lowered his difficulty. He successfully completed a turn and pull rod back buckle and scored 39 points.
Larry Nance Jr. was the last player to play. His dunk looks a bit different.
He had a big change on the court, wearing the jersey of his father Larry Nance who won the slam dunk contest. For a while, the whole arena was boiling. You know, in the first slam dunk contest in 1984, Larry Nance defeated famous dunkers like Dominic Wilkins, Julius Irving and Dalier Griffith to win the championship.
Therefore, everyone hopes that Larry Nance can inherit the glory of his father and win the dunk king trophy on this field.
Larry Nance Jr. did well. He almost perfectly copied his father's action to win the championship. However, due to difficulty, height and viewing, he eventually scored only 44 points.
In the second round that followed, these guys obviously performed much better than the first dunk.
Oladipo, who scored the lowest score, took the lead. He took over the panther mask from Bosman, the actor of Wakanda King Techara, and staged a tie-bar dunk. Finally got 40 points.
Smith, who appeared on the stage, turned around with a 360-degree change-the crotch changed hands to get the first full score in this dunk contest.
In the second round, Larry Nance, who put on the Cavaliers' autumn clothes again, came with a rather large turning one-armed windmill, but this action was not particularly amazing. But still scored 49 points.
After failing the first dunk, Mitchell, who appeared last, staged an explosive dunk that leaped three people. With this dunk, he scored the second full score in the dunk contest and entered the final match with Larry Nance Jr.
The atmosphere on the scene was pretty good, but in fact, for An Luo, these dunks were not particularly amazing. Even in normal games, there are countless dunks that are much more exciting than this. Not to mention the previous dunk contests. In recent years, apart from the historical-level matchup between Gordon and LaVine, there has never been a particularly stunning dunk.
"I hope that in the next finals, the two of them can make some impressive moves!"
The first action of the final~EbookFREE.me~ Larry Nance Jr. finally invited his father Larry Nance to the arena. Judging from the applause at the scene, Larry Nance's reputation is really not low.
It's a pity that the dunk action is a bit normal. It should have been prepared for a more difficult action, but it failed because of the first two attempts. Nance also had to lower the difficulty and complete the dunk. After all, the connection between father and son, even on the All-Star stage, is not easy.
For a one-handed windmill dunk, the judges finally gave 46 points. It is estimated that the old Nance added a lot of points!
Mitchell came up and tried twice. After catching the ball in the air for the third time, he stretched his arm straight and pushed the ball directly into the basket from the waist. The whole person is fully stretched out in the air. The last buckle was heavy, very explosive!
This buckle made An Luo's eyes shine. I have to admit that this guy's bounce and waist strength are too strong. In fact, with the buckle in the previous preliminaries, his bounce has been fully demonstrated. But this action has greater impact.
As expected, the judges finally scored a perfect score of 50 points. Mitchell himself was quite excited. This is the second time he has dunked full marks in this dunk contest!
The pressure suddenly came to Nance. He wasn't for the attention or the bonus. As a second-generation star, he is actually quite low-key. But this does not mean that he does not want to chase his father's footsteps. The dunk contest is the best start.
The game becomes interesting at this time. Both players have done their best to press the box. The atmosphere of Staples has also reached its peak.
