That night, the challenge was staged at Staples Center.

The first thing to start is the "Shooting Stars" competition, which was just set up this year. It is participated by four teams, each team consisting of three players, including an NBA active player, a retired superstar of the team and a wnba female player. There are 6 shooting points in total, and three people shoot separately. The previous person makes a shot after the next person makes a shot. The winner is determined through a round of matches, and the team with the fastest shot of six points wins.

It's not easy, because the last goal is a midfield shot.

In the end, the Lakers won the first shooting star championship with 43.9 seconds with "Magician" Johnson from a long shot in the middle line.

Then there is the Skills Challenge, where the unfast heavy point guard Byron Davis won the championship in an upset.

In the final, Fisher first appeared, hitting the ground pass twice before passing the score, and hitting three three-pointers before making it, and finally took 37.6 seconds. Fisher's poor performance left Davis with no pressure. Although it was a bit delayed in passing the ball on the ground, he then completed the task in one breath and completed the game with a one-handed dunk, which took 31.6 seconds.

The three-point competition was unpopular again, and Kings' sharpshooter Peja Stoyakovic lost to Nuggets' Voshan Leonard.

Peja scored the highest 21 points in the preliminary round, and Leonard narrowly reached the final with only 18 points. In the final, Leonard scored another 18 points, Peja scored 16 points and Korver scored 15 points.

This is what luck determines the outcome. Leonard has been in the league in 1995 and has only two of his 9 seasons in his three-point shooting percentage exceeds 40%. Peja is definitely much more accurate in training, but he performs miserably.

Finally, it was today's turn to dunk contest. Before the players appeared, some dunk highlights of the four participating players were released on the big screen, accompanied by Eminem's rap, and the atmosphere was good.

When it was Guo Xu's turn, his dunk was repeatedly played by Anthony Pierre, and it was difficult for Pierre to become famous.

CCTV5 live broadcast game, Zhang Heli introduced: "Guo Xu is going to challenge his limit today. Who would have thought that he would not shoot three-pointers and participate in the dunk contest instead? The news broke at that time, and many people thought it was a joke."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "This is really unexpected. After Potato Webber, no player below 190cm has participated in the dunk contest."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "I decided that Guo Xu is much better. He is not a potato figure." (Webber: Am I a potato figure?)

Webber, nicknamed "Potato", is about 170cm tall, and the deepest impression of him is his dunk.

After the Pistons selected Webber at the 87th pick in the fourth round of the 1985 draft, he did not sign with him. He was lucky to join the Hawks. He participated in the All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest in his hometown of Dallas during his rookie season. In this competition, he made a big splash, winning the Dunk Contest championship, giving his hometown fans a big gift, becoming the shortest dunk champion in the NBA ever.

In the music, the host of the live host began to introduce the players in turn. The first one to play was Ricky Davis of the Celtics, a 201cm swingman. He only had sporadic applause and even booed him when he walked onto the court.

A fat fan who was close to the court shouted: "Ricky, you will definitely win. They were all invited to assist you in the slam dunk contest!"

"..." Davis' running movements were not smooth because of this roar.

His image is difficult to reverse in the short term, and it probably refers to his life in the short term. However, his dunk ability is indeed very strong. He has completed a slam-changing dunk in the regular season, and is the first player in the NBA to do this.

The second appearance was Chris Anderson of the Nuggets. He has not yet won the nickname "Birdman". His arms are clean and there are no tattoos. When he has a tattoo, he jumps up and grabs the rebound, and looks like a bird gliding. The tattoo on his body is particularly fancy and a bit like the feather of a big bird.

Anderson is a blue-collar, the Nuggets substitute power forward, and is the highest player to participate in the dunk contest in recent years. He is 208cm tall and weighs 111 kilograms. He entered the NBA in a non-draft draft, and almost all scored slams and could not get a few points.

The scene was unexpectedly quiet, and no one in Los Angeles fans applauded Anderson. He waved to the sidelines and could not get a response, and felt a little embarrassed. There was no way, he was no name and many fans didn't recognize him.

Next came Pacers point guard Fred Jones, and the fans did not applaud. He averaged only 5 points and 2 assists per game this season, and was an ordinary substitute.

He was registered in the league at 193cm and weighed 95kg, but he was half a head shorter than Davis. His actual height was only 188cm, and his figure and playing style were destined to have no future.

Guo Xu finally made the final appearance. As soon as the host called out his name, the fans began to applaud and cheer.

He stood up from his seat, walked slowly to the stadium, waved his hands to the fans around him, and screamed for a long time.

The three opponents all have the same feeling: Do you still need to compare this? How do you compare it with him? This guy has already won the championship?

This is the benefit of stars participating in the challenge. The popularity is enough to drive the atmosphere of the whole game, especially this star weekend in Los Angeles, which is equivalent to half of Guo Xu’s home court.

After introducing the players, the host introduced the five judges today, "Magic" Johnson, "Tian Gou" Jabbar and other retired celebrities.

After some preheating, the dunk contest officially began, and Davis was the first to play.

He chose to throw and dunk the ball on the board. He failed to succeed in the first two times, so he had to change the action, dribble from the right side to the basket, and then turned counterclockwise to the air with a 180-degree dunk.

His movement was very beautiful, but because of the "replenishment", he only got 45 points.

The rules of the dunk contest are currently relatively strict. If a player fails to dunk twice, he will have another chance to dunk. However, there is only one chance to dunk in each round, and the goals that have been dunked shall not be re-dunked.

In other words, players have up to three chances, and whether they enter or not depends on the judges' score. This is not like in 2006, when Nate Robinson dunked 15 times in the final, and finally defeated Iguodala and became the dunk king. It's so irritating.

The second one to play was Anderson. He jumped high on the face frame and turned around 180 degrees in the air and dunked his hands successfully. The completion was neat, but the movement was too simple. The five judges only gave a low score of 42 points. This kind of turning and dunk is hard to make people excited.

The third place is Jones. He first threw the ball high on the left, then followed up and jumped up and received a heavy dunk with one hand. He scored a full score of 50 points. The fans on the scene did not give much applause, and the reaction was mediocre. Many people thought the score was too high. Although Jones jumped very high, it was not difficult.

Guo Xu made the finale and started applauding before many viewers were deducted. The league officials were very happy. This was the dunk contest they wanted. After three years, they finally became popular again.

Guo Xu took the ball and walked to 60 degrees on the right, threw the ball high, then rushed to the basket quickly, jumped with both feet, turned 180 degrees in the air, just received the basketball that landed and rebounded with his right hand, and dunked the basketball with one hand at a point on the right.

This is the dunk that Marion called "The Goddess of Liberty". Although Guo Xu was short, Marion's movements were much more relaxed. He not only showed his body flexibility, but also showed the height of the air. He practiced in the time loop for two months before he dunked it.

Guo Xu can grasp the strength of the ball throwing and the timing of the jumping. When he received the ball, he almost had a success rate of 50%. Today he was lucky and he completed it in one go.
Chapter completed!
