The screen turned and the dunk contest was about to begin.

A total of four people participated in this year's dunk contest, namely: Raptors' DeMar DeRozan, Rockets' Blake Griffin, Thunder's Serge Ibaka, and Wizards' JaVale McGee .

Like the three-point contest, the slam dunk contest is divided into two stages: preliminary and final.

The final score is calculated by adding up the on-site scores and fan votes.

In other words, the winner of the slam dunk contest will inevitably be linked to the popularity of the players.

This year’s competition also has another aspect that is different from the past – “inheritance”.

Before the official game starts, each player will play a vcr, which contains a video of them training with a legendary star.

Griffin's mentor is the famous rocket player Drexler.

DeRozan's mentor is Darryl Dawkins, who smashed rebounds twice in the game.

McGee's mentor is five-time All-Star Chris Webber.

Ibaka's situation is more embarrassing.

The Thunder had just established the team and no famous players were willing to cooperate with him.

The "mentor" Ibaka finally found was his teammate Kevin Durant.

"As expected of Los Angeles, this set of emotions is real and can be played. The game has not even started yet and it is already full of drama."

In the stands, Shen Fei said while eating popcorn.

"Yes, after watching these videos, I feel that there is still a lot to watch in this slam dunk contest."

"Drexler should be the most famous in NBA history, the uncrowned king of the slam dunk contest."

"Obviously he has such a strong dunk ability, but he has never won the dunk title. I hope Blake can help him realize his dream this time."

Ajiali sighed.

Drexler is considered one of the best dunkers in history.

He participated in the slam dunk contest for the first time in 1987 and met the rising star Air Jordan.

Drexler did not give up because of this, and later participated in 4 dunk contests, but without exception, they all failed...

This situation is somewhat regrettable.

After watching the video, many viewers, like Ajiali, hope Griffin can help the Rockets senior realize his dream of becoming a dunk king!

"Ibaka's script is also pretty good..."

"The other three are all helped by famous people, but he can't find a suitable person to 'pass on'."

"The counterattack journey of the small-ball market hero is also very exciting."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

"em...I think this is a bit deliberate."

"The Thunder are now considered a powerful team in the Western Conference, and their popularity is very high in the beautiful country. It is very simple to find a retired star who is willing to help."

"However, this arrangement is indeed more distinctive, just like you said... the script."

Ajiali said.

While the two were chatting, DeRozan had already walked onto the court and was ready to dunk for the first time.

"Here, let's watch the game, it should be interesting!"
