Chapter 458 Come to the Free Throw Line to Suppress the Shock First (Second Update!)

Before the start of the game, there will be an introduction session for the players.

Wall, Terrence Ross and Paul George of the Eastern team were introduced successively.

Followed by Lillard, Harris Barnes and Tang Tian on the Western side.

From the point of view of strength, the Eastern team is obviously stronger.

Rose is the defending champion of the slam dunk contest, Wall is the top bouncer among guards, and George is a super dunker.

On the other hand, for the Western team, Lillard has only dunked 8 times in the game this season. Tang Tian was selected because of his previous dunks. It seems that only Bahn can dunk. Si alone.

However, when Tang Tian was the last to appear on stage, there was deafening cheers on the scene.

Tang Tian is now the leading scorer in the league, and he is playing at home. He is the absolute focus of the game.

Barkley in the commentary seat raised his hands, as if welcoming the King of New Orleans.

This year's slam dunk contest Xiao Hua originally planned to change the system, but because it is still under the supervision of the organizing committee, the competition system of last year was used.

The 6 contestants will be divided into East and West, with two deductions in the preliminaries, and the total points will be added up to determine who wins in the East and West.

This is the preliminaries, and the score is judged by the judges.

Then the person with the highest score in the two teams will come out for the final on behalf of the East and West.

It is also two dunks, and finally the final dunk champion will be voted by the fans.

The difference between this competition system and the previous competition system is that the preliminaries are not 6-person PK, but PK within the East and West teams.

Of course, in the finals, it still depends on who is stronger.

"Who will be the champion?"

Before the slam dunk contest started, the TNT Big Three and ESPN Duo began to chat again in the commentary booth.

This is a link they must have every year, guess the champion.

"Reggie, you guessed it right last year, you say it first." Brin said and looked at Miller.

Among the five of them, none of them are dunkers. They can only rely on intuition. Last year, Miller's intuition made him guess Rose.

"Ross."

Miller said with a smile, he is still betting on Rose this year.

This choice is very safe, after all, Rose is the defending champion, and this season also staged a lot of brutal dunks in the game.

"George." Kenny Smith followed up and talked about his choice.

"His size is perfect, and the dunk will be very visual."

Smith is an analysis king, and there is nothing wrong with his analysis. George is rarely in active service with super forwards and guards like Tracy McGrady and Carter.

And in terms of physical fitness, George is not much worse than them.

"Charles, Shaq, what do you think?"

Brin looked at Barkley and O'Neill.

"Don."

The two spoke in unison, and then both laughed.

Barkley was already optimistic about Tang Tian, ​​while O'Neill was already in the state of "Tang chooses Tang, but no Tang is free".

The opinions of several people are very divided.

This shows that no one is sure to win this year, and you will only know after the competition.

Not long after their chat, amidst the cheers of the fans, this year's slam dunk contest officially began.

The first to appear is the group of Wall and Lillard.

Both of them are point guards, which is also suitable.

However, the gap is a bit big after comparison.

Although Lillard dunked the lever dunk in the first dunk, but because of the lack of viewing due to the height problem, and it took three dunks to succeed, he only scored 36 points in the first dunk, and the spinning dunk in the second dunk was not enough. brilliant.

On the other hand, Wall successfully spun the windmill in the first dunk, and staged a dunk by the Leap Wizards mascot "Wizard" in the second dunk, which surprised everyone and won a full score of 50 points.

After the first round of PK, Wall won 93 to 78.

The Eastern team takes 1 point first.

The second set of duels that followed was Rose and Barnes.

This is also theoretically the best dunk player for the two teams.

However, the performance of the two is surprising.

Rose won the slam dunk contest last year by paying tribute to Carter, but he has no creativity this year. The two dunks were mediocre and failed to convince the judges.

And Barnes' performance was not as expected. The player who once dunked Howard in the official game failed to complete the action after the first dunk and three dunks.

In the end, Rose won by 85 to 76 points.

In this way, the Eastern team leads 2-0.

They already have the upper hand.

Now let's see if Tang Tian can turn the tide in the last set of duels and win back some face for the western team.

However, George of the Eastern team is not a character to be trifled with.

He led the team to rank second in the Eastern Conference this season, and his competitive state is excellent, and his template in the draft was McGrady, which is a strong dunker in itself.

George came first.

There were bursts of cheers.

George is also very popular now, which can be seen from the results of his All-Star voting.

The scene was shown, and after George took a deep breath, he ran directly to the basket.

One meter away from the basket, he jumped up and turned 360° in the air, and while turning, he stuffed the ball under his crotch with his right hand.

This is a 360° crotch big windmill!

Carter's iconic move!

"Boom!"

George made a dunk.

The scene exploded directly.

This dunk success rate, this visual effect, is simply explosive!

George really deserves to be a contemporary dunker!

The judges also paid for this deduction and gave it a perfect score of 50 points.

This is also the strongest dunk in this slam dunk contest.

"Dude! What did I say!"

Smith laughed loudly in the commentary booth at this time.

It looks like he's going to be the Son of Prophecy this year.

Barkley and O'Neill also laughed at this time.

George's dunk is really a bit strong.

The East team's lineup this year really crushed the West.

The pressure was all on Tang Tian now.

When Tang Tian got up, the cheers were overwhelming.

The western army retreated steadily, and Tang Tian was now their only savior.

"What action will he use?"

Barkley turned to look at O'Neill at this time.

They both guessed that Tang Tian would not be able to beat George's dunk if he didn't have some kung fu at the bottom of the box.

O'Neill shook his head with a smile, Tang Tian didn't ask his assistant to come on stage at the moment, this action was really difficult to guess.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Tang Tian took the ball to the center circle.

This looks like a dunk that needs a lot of running distance.

After the cheers fell, Tang Tian rushed forward with the ball.

He accelerated very quickly, and when he reached the free throw line, he landed on his right foot directly, and his toes flew into the air next to the free throw line.

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

This is to stage a dunk from the free throw line!

There are really not many people who can complete this action in the history of the NBA, and there are only a handful of people who have completed it in the dunk contest!

Jordan, Dr. J, Pippen, Ibaka.

Amidst the cheers of all the fans, Tang Tian glides to the basket as if he had put on wings, and smashed the ball towards the basket with his right hand when it fell.

"Boom!"

It was also a one-time success!

"Holy shit!"

Barkley exploded in the commentary.

The scene exploded instantly.

Kobe and Curry on the sidelines jumped up from their seats and shouted.

If there is a dunk that is more amazing than George's just now, it must be Tang Tian's free throw line!

Tang Tian's expression after landing was relatively calm.

Home fans don't panic, the slam dunk contest has just begun, and the free throw line will overwhelm everyone.

Thanks to lyglx for the reward.
