When the dunk contest started, many people were still immersed in Chen Jie's perfect score in the three-point contest.
It wasn't until Jr. Smith, the first player to appear, completed a beautiful behind-the-mouth slam dunk that the superstar fans who were still in shock finally came to their senses.
Jr. Smith's dunk this time was very beautiful, and many fans held up signs indicating ten points, which means a perfect score.
Jr. Smith also looked very excited and encouraged himself to walk to the chair.
The judges all applauded, and it was obvious that Jr. Smith could get a high score for this ball.
Sure enough, in the end, Jordan gave ten points, Barkley gave ten points, and Dominick gave ten points. Needless to say, Larry Johnson also naturally gave his juniors a ten points, and Thomas, who came to make the soy sauce, gave a nine points.
In the end, Jr. Smith's dunk scored a high score of 49 points.
When he saw the score, Jr. Smith had a smile on his face.
There is hope of entering the finals.
The second person to appear was Josh Smith, who was feeling depressed.
Originally, he also thought of the same idea as Jr. Smith, changing hands behind his back in the air, but now that Jr. Smith had already used it in the first appearance, if he used it again, he would inevitably be suspected of following the trend.
Simply, every player participating in the dunk contest has his or her own backup moves.
Josh Smith had no choice but to use his prepared backup moves.
He bounced the ball hard on the ground first, then hit the backboard. After the rebound, the basketball was moving in the air. Josh Smith took off at this moment. He half-turned in the air and dunked the ball into the basket!
This ball is beautiful because of its cleverness. The basketball is now in contact with the ground, then hits the backboard, and finally is picked up by Josh Smith and dunked in.
But speaking of difficulty, it is a bit lower than the first Jr. Smith ball.
Jordan gave 9 points, Barkley gave 9 points, Larry Johnson gave 10 points. Dominic Wilkins gave 10 points, and Thomas gave 8 points.
The score given by Thomas is still very objective.
In the end, Josh Smith scored 46 points, two points lower than Jr. Smith.
He also excitedly touched chests with his teammates who were invited to help pass the ball on the sidelines, but it seemed that he was not as happy as Jr. Smith.
After Josh Smith, there is Stoudemire.
Stoudemire took the first ball and asked Nash for help.
In the slam dunk contest, there is an opportunity to ask teammates for assistance in each preliminary round and finals. Of course, you can use it or not.
This collaboration between Stoudemire and Nash is very classic.
Because Nash used to play football, Stoudemire borrowed this fact.
He put the ball on the backboard, and the basketball bounced off the backboard and landed on Nash's head. Nash headed the ball a little, and the basketball flew high in the air. Stoudemire caught the ball and slammed the basketball into the basket.
.
The difficulty of this ball is similar to that of Josh Smith just now, but because the creativity is better, the judges gave high scores.
Jordan gave 9 points, Barkley 10 points, Dominick gave 10 points, Larry Johnson gave 10 points, and Thomas gave 9 points.
With a score of 48 points, Stoudemire temporarily ranked second.
And soon, the next person to appear is Chen Jie.
Because Chen Jie had a shocking performance in the three-point contest before, and in the regular season, Chen Jie's many dunks from behind were selected into the top five, which also made people full of expectations for Chen Jie's performance in the dunk contest.
.
When Chen Jie was warming up with the ball, many superstars had already stood up and applauded Chen Jie.
It can be seen that among these superstars, Chen Jie is still the most popular among the four people participating in the competition.
Even the judges are like fans of Chen Jie.
Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley stood up and applauded to cheer Chen Jie.
Larry Johnson and Thomas also stood up out of politeness.
Only Dominic Wilkins was still sitting there, with disdain for Chen Jie in his eyes.
Chen Jie didn't do anything amazing, he just silently took the ball and stood outside the three-point line.
For the first ball, Chen Jie planned to focus on warming up and use an old move to dunk the ball in steadily to get a better score. For the second move, he would try to be more creative.
After all, if the first move is difficult, if you fail and the score is low, the pressure on the second move will be great, and you may not be able to enter the finals.
This was Chen Jie's plan, so he used the old movement of changing hands from the crotch to dunk.
Many people have tried this action in the dunk contest.
Kobe and Carter are the representatives.
Carter's change of hands on the crotch gave people a feeling of leisurely strolling, and the last button was full of tension.
Kobe's change of hands on his crotch made many people describe it as if he was tying his shoelaces as easily as he did.
However, Chen Jie's crotch change of hands was completely different from the two of them.
What he gives people is an extreme speed.
Chen Jie jumped in the air, and the time he stayed in the air seemed to be no different than that of Kobe Carter.
But when he completed the movement of changing hands under his crotch, it gave people a feeling of lightning speed.
When Chen Jie took the ball from his left hand to his right and dunked, it was as if he had just jumped up.
Then, Chen Jie seemed to be standing in the air, glanced at the basket, and took aim before slamming the ball in again.
It felt as if Chen Jie had completed all the moves before, then confronted the basket in the air, and then took action to destroy the basket.
After his dunk went in, many superstars felt that they had a completely new visual experience.
Garnett, who was filming with a DVD player, was so excited that he even left the DVD on the ground.
Kobe exclaimed.
Michael Jordan even raised a 10-point sign immediately.
Charles Barkley walked up to Chen Jie, took Chen Jie's hand, and saluted Chen Jie. This action was more respectful than the superstars just paid homage to Chen Jie because he got a perfect score in the three-point shooting competition.
Back to your seats. Charles Barkley also gave 10 points.
Larry Johnson also felt that Chen Jie's dunk deserved a full score.
He also gave ten points.
Thomas also seems to prefer this kind of crotch-changing dunk, and he gave a perfect score for the first time.
But at this time, the score given by Dominic was somewhat unsatisfactory.
He actually only gave it 8 points.
When Dominic held up the scoring sign in his hand, the scene was in an uproar.
Even Chen Jie's enemies, Denver fans, felt that Dominic's score was a bit excessive.
Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley looked at Dominic with dissatisfaction. The degree of revenge was too obvious. It was too much.
Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and other friends in Chen Jie's circle shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Many media quickly took pictures of Dominic's score, believing that it would be news that would make the front page again.
Humanity Film Essence publicly suppresses Chen Jie.
This is definitely a good subject!
Because Dominic deliberately suppressed the score, Chen Jie only scored 48 points with this dunk.
One point less than Jr. Smith, ranking second.
The first round of dunks ended with no one getting full points.
Jr Smith's 49 points was the highest score, Chen Jie and Stoudemire tied for second with 48 points, and Josh Smith was temporarily at the bottom with 46 points.
However, the score difference is not very big. It is still uncertain who will advance to the finals, and the second dunk is particularly critical.
Josh Smith was the first to appear. This time, he chose to ask his teammates for help.
A teammate of the Eagles sat on a chair. He raised the ball above his head. Josh Smith took a running start. Then he jumped high. When he got the ball from his teammate, he leaped over with the chair and then did a one-handed dunk.
.
Josh Smith completed this action very successfully, and the distance he glided was not short, the creativity was good, and the difficulty was not low.
This ball gave him a high score of 49 points.
This year's selection by the judges made the scores in the slam dunk contest seem a bit low.
In the past, Josh Smith's goal and Chen Jie's just now were definitely full marks!
After dunking the ball, Josh Smith's final score came out, 95 points.
This score is pretty good.
Stoudemire is the second player to play. He needs to score more than 47 points to surpass Josh Smith.
Stoudemire chose to play the ball himself and did not ask Nash to cooperate.
Stoudemire took the ball and jumped from behind the backboard. His body first bent in the air, then straightened like a spring, and then dunked the ball into the basket.
This ball is difficult, but the visual effect is not that great.
Jordan gave 9 points, Barkley gave 10 points, Larry Johnson 9 points, Dominic 9 points, and Thomas 9 points.
Stoudemire finally scored 94 points, one point lower than Josh Smith.
He has to count on Chen Jie to score under 46 points, otherwise, Stoudemire will not be able to enter the finals.
But how could Chen Jie give Stoudemire a chance?
For this ball, Chen Jie asked Hinrich to come up and cooperate with him. Hinrich didn't have to do anything. He just moved a chair and sat inside the free throw line.
Then, Chen Jie took off his jersey and put on another jersey.
After seeing this outfit, the atmosphere at the scene was filled with excitement, and Michael Jordan was all smiles.
It turned out that Chen Jie wore the No. 23 jersey of the Jordan Bulls.
Wearing this outfit, Chen Jie took the ball, came to the other side of the battlefield, and began to clear the field.
Seeing this scene, many people seemed to understand what Chen Jie was going to do.
Is he going to copy Jordan's classic take-off dunk from the free throw line?
However, looking at Hinrich sitting under the basket, it is obvious that Chen Jie's move is more difficult, as he has to leap over someone.
If this goal is scored, it will be an undisputed full score. If Dominic continues to score points, he will definitely be drowned in scolding stars.
But, can Chen Jie accomplish it? Pay tribute to Jordan, the god of basketball, can he do it? (To be continued...)
