·
Zhuan Zhu
After the preliminaries, the three players shortlisted for this year's three-point contest are Chen Yan, Lewis and Cook.
The defending champion Kapono was out early, and the threat that others could pose to Chen Yan was basically zero.
Lewis was the first to go. His first two shots were a mess, and he finally found the feeling at the top of the arc. The final score was 15 points.
Lewis shook his head before leaving the field. This score basically missed the championship. The three-point contest has never won such a low score. The previous lowest score was Hornacek's 1997 points in the 1998-16 season.
Lewis had given up hope, but after seeing Cook's performance, he suddenly felt that he was doing it again.
Cook was the second to play. He scored 1 point for the first point, 2 points for the second point, 3 points for the third point, 4 points for the fourth point, and 5 points for the fifth point. Scored 15 points with outrageous incremental scoring and drew with Lewis.
If Chen Yan scores less than 15 points, the two will enter overtime.
Chen Yan saw that these two were working hard, so he didn't plan to give them the chance to work overtime.
In the fourth point, after the first ball was thrown, Chen Yan had already scored 16 points. After securing the championship in advance, Chen Yan also started to play, imitating the signature moves of various superstars, and even used his left hand in the last shot.
It wasn't that Chen Yan was disrespectful to other opponents. The All-Star game was originally an entertainment event. Chen Yan's playing like this was in line with the spirit of the event, and the fans at the scene were also very happy to watch.
Of course, the price of playing this way is that the shooting rate plummeted. In the end, Chen Yan easily won the championship with 21 points.
......
......
"Chen, you changed various shooting postures in the last two points. We can see that you used Kobe's posture, Dirk's posture and even Marion's posture. May I ask why you did this?" The reporter asked during the championship interview road.
"It's fun and makes the fans happy." Chen Yan's answer was very real.
The reporter continued to ask: "You maintained a high shooting percentage in the first three points. You had a chance to break the scoring record you created in the three-point contest in the preliminaries. Do you feel regretful?"
Chen Yan said with a smile: "Not at all, I had a great time playing, and it's good to leave a little space so that I can break the record next time."
The reporter laughed after hearing this. The three-point contest Chen Yan said seemed to be held by his family, and he could break the record whenever he wanted.
The reporter did not delay Chen Yan for too long, and he will also participate in the dunk contest in the next competition.
Chen Yan held up the three-point contest trophy, made a few poses and then went down.
Brief entertainment followed, and after 15 minutes the dancers exited and the lights dimmed abruptly.
The four players participating in this slam dunk contest came out one by one. The four players were Jr. Smith from the Denver Nuggets, Nate Robinson from the New York Knicks, Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic, and Chen Yan from the Phoenix Suns at home. .
Chen Yan made his final appearance, and the cheers immediately reached the peak as soon as he appeared on stage, making the three people next to him a little bit jealous.
Jr-Smith was the first to play, and after throwing the ball with his right hand, he dunked with a big windmill!
The movement was done in one go, and the sense of strength was good, but the deduction method was too simple, and the judges all scored well. Jr-Smith's final score was 43 points.
Nate Robinson was the second to appear on the stage. His movements were similar to those of jr. He threw the ball and dunked with one arm, but Little Tudou was a little tight when he first came up, and the first dunk failed.
After the adjustment, Nate-Robinson succeeded in the second dunk. Nate's difficulty was similar to that of jr, but he was more in line with the judges' preferences, and he scored 46 points slightly higher than jr.
Chen Yan is the third to appear on the stage. In this era, everyone's creativity is very scarce. They come and go with just a few tricks, and they rely more on strength and beauty to decide the winner.
But Chen Yan is different. He is a time traveler, and he has a lot of ideas, and his current physical fitness can support these ideas.
He came to participate in the dunk contest this time because he wanted to play something different.
Chen Yan grabs the ball with one hand from outside the three-point line, throws the ball and runs in one go.
Is it self-defeating again?
The first two contestants used this routine, and the fans saw Chen Yan's gesture of raising his hand, to be honest, a bit aesthetically tired.
However, after Chen Yan took off and received the rebound ball, he did not complete the dunk action immediately, but took advantage of the air to quickly slap the ball on the backboard twice.
The moment it fell, Chen Yan slammed the ball into the basket with one arm!
"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The fans in the audience were instantly excited, and Barkley in the commentary also shook his head and said: "This ball is a combination of creativity and physical fitness."
Kenny Smith also said: "I thought Chen would have a big windmill or a crotch. His dunk action exceeded everyone's expectations."
The judges showed their 10-point signs without hesitation.
Chen Yan looked calm. This dunk that amazed everyone was just an appetizer in his dunk idea.
Howard was fourth on the court. He had a rebound and then threw the ball for a windmill dunk.
Howard missed the first dunk, and Barkley said: "Dwight's design of the ball is too complicated. He can use something simpler and violent, which will be more suitable for this big guy."
Kenny Smith nodded: "The height of the jump is fine, but the landing point of the ball is not very good."
Howard continued the original posture for the second dunk. This time he controlled it well, and the moment the ball bounced, his man was in the right position, and a small turning windmill ended the dunk!
Howard is tall and has a long arm and a good bounce. This difficult dunk looks easy under his interpretation, and the judges also showed 10 points.
"The second perfect score in this year's slam dunk contest, Dwight is very pleasing, and it can be seen that the judges like him very much." Kenny Smith said.
Barkley's attention was on the audience: "Shaquille O'Neill and his wife Shanny appeared on the scene, and it seems that the two have passed the emotional crisis.
Kenny Smith also began to gossip: "The camera caught Pippen. He came to watch the game alone today without his wife. I don't know if this has something to do with Chen Yan."
Kenny Smith’s words were full of ridicule. Last month, Pippen and Chen Yan had a verbal battle. Chen Yan’s sentence that your wife is my fan almost broke Pippen’s family. This sentence was also praised by the majority of fans. One of the most classic trash talk.
The second round of dunks started soon.
The first one to appear was jr.
Jr played an off-court lob with teammate Sonny Weems this round. He originally planned to wait for his teammate to hit the ground and pass the ball, run up from the right baseline, catch the ball around his back and dunk with a backhand, but failed many times and decided to change. Dunk action.
Smith's physical strength was already a little weak at this time, and finally he managed to smash the ball into the basket with both hands, and only scored 42 points. After two rounds, jr scored a total of 85 points, basically declaring that he missed the final.
Nate Robinson appeared next, and his dunk looked a bit strange. He let his teammate Wilson Chandler lie on the basket, and after running up from the front of the basket, he stepped on Chandler with one step and flew to complete the dunk.
Little Tudou's slam dunk was innovative, but the judges didn't buy it and only gave it 41 points.
Howard was the third to appear on the stage. Before he entered the stage, the staff rolled out a heightened basket. Everyone guessed what Howard was going to buckle, but what everyone didn't expect was Howard's shape.
Howard first hid in the phone booth very mysteriously, and he came out of the phone booth with a grin after a while.
Fans discovered that Howard's jersey had turned into a Superman vest. Howard took the red cloth handed over by his teammates, and after shaking it off, it turned out to be Superman's cloak!
This idea and this outfit made all superstars, old and young, who are used to big scenes laugh.
Amidst the cheers and laughter of the audience, Howard dunked the pass from his teammate from behind the basket, full marks!
The emotions of the fans in the audience were ignited, and it was in such an atmosphere that Chen Yan appeared on the court for the second round of dunks.
For this dunk, he partnered with his national team teammate Dayao, who stood under the basket holding the basketball high.
The fans laughed when they saw Dayao's appearance. The basketball held by Dayao was the edge of the basket. Chen Yan only needed to touch it lightly to get in, and he even dunked the ball.
At this moment, Chen Yan started to run and jump.
Chen Yan took off very well. He took off very close to the basket, and his head almost touched the basket during the ascent.
Chen Yan lowered his head and slid for a while, then a scorpion wagged his tail!
He flicked his hands back and dunked the ball into the basket without looking back!
Be creative!
Very difficult!
And it was a success!
The scene boiled instantly, and the cheers of the fans caused a brief earthquake in the American West Arena.
Chen Yan got the full score of 50 without any suspense.
If it was a gimmick that Howard detonated the audience just now, then Chen Yan relied on his solid dunking skills.
The fans all exclaimed, this is only the preliminaries, and Chen Yan will dunk the rim and explode in the finals?
The defending champion Kapono was out early, and the threat that others could pose to Chen Yan was basically zero.
Lewis was the first to go. His first two shots were a mess, and he finally found the feeling at the top of the arc. The final score was 15 points.
Lewis shook his head before leaving the field. This score basically missed the championship. The three-point contest has never won such a low score. The previous lowest score was Hornacek's 1997 points in the 1998-16 season.
