Chapter 311 Slam Dunk Contest
"Welcome everyone to the All-Star stage, it's time for the exciting dunk contest!"
The slam dunk contest is about to start, which will bring the ratings of major TV stations to rise at this time.
If it goes up, it depends on whether it can retain the audience.
TNT TV station has also made new preparations for the live broadcast of this year's All-Star Game.
In addition to sending out the ace combination of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, they also invited new partners.
Dominic Wilkins, nicknamed Human Movie Essence, is famous all over the world for his various dunks.
He was also the first NBA star famous for his dunks.
Of course, the premise is that the player is a star, and then all kinds of flying dunks can shock people.
There are many such people.
This is true from Dominic Wilkins, to Vince Carter, and later Zach LaVine.
The dunk king is a bonus for them as star players.
As for the pure dunk kings, for example, Desmond Mason and Nate Robinson last year.
They are also dunk kings, but their fame is mediocre.
It's very simple. After all, the All-Star game is just an entertainment game. Fans are happy to watch it, but the only thing they want to watch is the stars.
If you can't even have stable playing time in daily games, then you won't have a chance to dunk!
"Okay, you two, let's talk about the lineup for this dunk contest and whose performance you are most looking forward to."
"king!"
"Of course the king!"
Wilkins and Barkley shouted Wang Hao's name in unison. They had no choice but to make this choice.
Relative to Desmond Mason, Steve Francis, and rookie Jason Richardson.
Wang Hao is really a big name.
Even though Francis has become an All-Star this season, he is incomparable to Wang Hao even if he can’t be cured.
"Why?"
Dominique Wilkins said: "To be honest, I am surprised that the first Asian in NBA history participated in the dunk contest.
We already have black dunk contest champions and white dunk contest champions, so can we have Asians?
Wang’s teammate, Brent Barry, was lucky enough to win the slam dunk contest. Can Wang be so lucky?”
This is what a black man like Wilkins is saying. If someone else were to say this, there might be another wave of political correctness.
It's just that this guy means the same thing inside and outside his words.
The slam dunk contest is the domain of black people. White people and yellow people have no chance at all.
However, Wilkins is still sane and his words are not that extreme.
"What about you, Charles?"
On the other side, Barkley also said: "To be honest, I am shocked, Wang actually has the courage to participate in the dunk contest?
Does he think that the slam dunk contest is just like the three-point contest and that you can just shoot whatever you want?
I think it’s too bad for Wang to participate in the slam dunk contest, he will be scared silly by Mason and Steve.”
Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Charles, aren't you a fan of Wang? Are you so unsure of him?"
Charles Barkley said without changing his face: "Of course, I am a fan of Wang, there is no doubt about it.
If it were a three-point contest or a normal game, of course I would support him unconditionally.
But this is a slam dunk contest. Although I am a fan of Wang, I am also a fair person.
To be honest, I can’t say without conscience that Wang can win the dunk contest championship, but I can’t!”
Hearing Charles Barkley speak so plausibly, Wilkins was a little dumbfounded. Is he so shameless?
Fans of Wang Hao? You can tell this too!
Who doesn’t know that you are Wang Hao’s two biggest anti-fans? How can you have the nerve to say such things?
“Wang Hao from the Seattle SuperSonics!”
As the host's voice sounded, all four players participating in the slam dunk contest appeared in the center of the arena.
However, compared to the applause received by the first three, when Wang Hao appeared on the stage, there was another round of boos.
Well, there was indeed applause just now, but that was an exception.
In the three-point contest, such a miracle as scoring 25 consecutive goals made people want to applaud.
But after cheering, the Philadelphia fans also realized that this was their opponent and they had to boo.
However, Wang Hao also received a lot of applause, especially from around the arena.
Gary Payton, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki...
All the teammates of the Western Conference All-Stars were applauding Wang Hao and seemed very excited.
In their opinion, at least Wang Hao is very courageous.
As for O'Neal, at this time he was already holding a handheld DV and filming continuously.
"Gary, how about Wang's dunk?"
Upon hearing this question, the people around him looked at Gary Payton unconsciously. After all, he and Wang Hao are teammates.
Gary Payton is also helpless about this problem.
It's not like he hasn't seen Wang Hao dunk before. He has seen it in training and even in games.
However, there are not many in number.
In most cases, it is after a steal or a fast break dunk.
As for explosive dunks, there are no such thing. Wang Hao has also done dunks from behind.
And dunking, to put it bluntly, is to see who can jump higher.
This not only includes bouncing, but also related to height. The higher you jump, the more difficult actions you can do.
Even in terms of touch height, Wang Hao is definitely the player with the highest touch height in the SuperSonics team.
The higher you jump and reach, the more exciting the dunk is.
It's just that Wang Hao is not a black player after all, and he doesn't have that kind of explosive power.
Explosive power is actually the most important factor in a wonderful dunk.
Moreover, Wang Hao is not the Golden State dunk king after all, and he has no deep obsession with dunking.
If you can deduct, then deduct, if you can't, then shoot. Anyway, it's not two points.
Others can doubt Wang Hao, but not Gary Payton. After all, he is a teammate and must support him.
"Of course, don't look at Wang's shooting accuracy. In fact, his physical talent is also very good.
Especially when it comes to jumping, he is definitely the highest jumper in the Sonics team, and dunking is also easy."
As he spoke, Gary Payton twisted his mouth unconsciously. In fact, he was not quite sure.
He asked Wang Hao and found out that Wang Hao had indeed specially prepared the dunk action and practiced it.
However, he didn't see it and wasn't sure what happened.
After a simple drawing ceremony, the game officially started, and Wang Hao was the first to appear.
Being the first to appear, to be honest, there was still a bit of pressure.
Wang Hao was not in a hurry and took the court calmly. After getting used to basketball, he walked to the backcourt.
He went to the judges' seat first and said hello to several judges. After all, they would have to rely on them to score later.
He doesn't want to be in Wade's situation.
Speaking of which, this year's judges are quite interesting. In addition to the celebrities of the older generation, there is also a fan.
In addition to the fans, the other four people are the Iceman George Gervin and the famous star Maurice Lucas.
In addition to these two, Dr. J, Julius Erving and Daryl Dawkins also appeared at the judges' table.
These two are the stars of the digital team.
Looking at Julius Erving, Wang Hao especially said: "Julius, I will imitate your dunk later."
Yes, Wang Hao's first dunk was naturally from the free throw line, but he made a small change.
