The dunk contest is the main feature of McDonald's this time. Generally speaking, when a show is on TV, there must be a fee. The producer collects money from the TV station because the TV station can sell advertisements. However, in order to broadcast the dunk contest in recent years, it has not been charged for live broadcasts across the United States. McDonald's even has to spend money on various channels to promote it.

That is to say, McDonald's is almost spending money on this program, and the most important slam dunk contest is naturally not careless.

The producer carefully looked at the physical test reports of each participating player, and prepared to pick some of them into leaflets and send them to various communities.

Some of the players are going to be promoted, such as Carter, Desmond Mason and Ricky Davis, who are all very famous high school students in their respective states.

When he turned to Zhang Hao's physical test report, the producer was surprised.

Zhang Hao and Pierce were just invited to make up the numbers. It was not surprising that they refused to participate. But when they participated, he was naturally happy to use them as a promotion, which would more or less increase the ratings of the Los Angeles area and was the kind of student group that could bring benefits.

Pierce... has average running and jumping skills, which is already very good. Pierce's weight is as good as some NBA insiders, and it's really like a slut. The nickname of Buckley Jr. is not just a joke.

And Zhang Hao... this 109 cm run-up jump is also considered top among black players!

Then we need to promote it carefully and send more leaflets to the Chinese community.

Chinese are a very special category among the immigrant groups all over the world. When they immigrate, they still regard themselves as Chinese. Of course, it is mainly the Chinese who immigrate directly in the past or two generations, as well as the children who are mostly raised by Chinese in their families. When it comes to the next generation, it is hard to say.

If Chinese people gathered 18 million people, they might be able to get rid of themselves, but they are very cohesive in foreign countries.

It is not going to be very smooth for McDonald's to enter the Chinese circle. In terms of fast food, the older generation still prefers Chinese fast food and KFC, which can cater to Chinese tastes.

The producer did not regard the small role of Zhang Hao as a lifesaver for opening up the Chinese market. Anyway, it wouldn't cost much money to invest more leaflets. He just did what a producer should do. Moreover, Zhang Hao had to pass the selection competition to promote him more. If he didn't pass the selection competition, there was no need to.

However, this also made the producer more expectation for the trial this afternoon.

...

After the physical test, I had lunch provided by McDonald's. It was a variety of fast food, and there was a camera next to it. Anyone with discerning eyes knew what the situation was.

Preparing for the dunk contest... If it were Zhang Hao in the past, he would definitely not have participated. His dunk was not innovative, but now, although he may not be better than Carter, there are so many dunk players who are creative in the future. Now, the creativity he remembers is all his!

During the intervals during shooting training, Zhang Hao also practiced those dunks. The excellent bounce allowed him to complete many dunks, but he still had confidence. There was no luxury for the championship, but through the selection match, he entered the final and dunked a full-point dunk, Zhang Hao really wanted to complete it.

At noon, they chatted with Pierce, Tyron Lu, and Mohammed for a while. At 1 pm, the three of them arrived at the stadium of the Great Western Forum in advance. There were two McDonald's High School All-Star Trials this afternoon. In the middle of the two games, there were the dunk contest.

There were also spectators in the trials, all of which were local students in Los Angeles, most of whom were from Inglewood High School.

The three of them came to the front player area, and a Latino girl with a pretty figure and often exercised at the front of the player area greeted them: "Aix, Paul, you are here!"

Pierce just responded with a "hi", looking like he was not interested in women.

This made Zhang Hao very strange, but it seemed like this has always been like this. Pierce didn't know which friend from China said, "Don't he have any face to have a girlfriend?" Then he didn't have a girlfriend in the whole high school...

Zhang Hao, who also had no money, responded enthusiastically: "April, are you here too? Are you here to cheer me on?"

April Clark, who has been accustomed to Zhang Hao's changes recently, raised his eyebrows and quipped: "Yes, our Inglewood's dunk king, it's up to you to see you perform today."

"I originally thought I might not be able to enter the finals, but with you, I feel full of strength and want to output..."

After a while of greetings, Zhang Hao sat down to watch the game.

The match... There is a reason why McDonald's All-Star High School Game is not valued by major schools. Judging from the personal abilities of the players on the court, Zhang Hao feels that it is very good to pick it up alone, much stronger than his opponents in the high school game. In the California high school world, he and Pierce are the kings.

But this group of people has no cooperation. Whoever holds the ball is doing it himself. It is unorganized and undisciplined. What can you tell?

Just like the All-Star rookie game, they all want to rush in and dunk.

But the cheers at the scene were still very high, with dunks and blocks, and no one wanted to lose to anyone.

There is an account that has an impression among the players in these games, a white point guard, Mike Beeby, who has been in New Jersey Basketball for two consecutive years, and has no chance of performance at all.

The feeling of watching the game on the spot is very different from watching the game in front of the TV. When watching the game on the spot, you can clearly compare your own skills with the players on the field.

When watching games on the screen, you will always compare the most powerful players with the players on the court. If you don’t pay attention, you will have the idea of ​​“This is just a lie who sells the first sign”.

Although he has strong personal abilities, the players on the court are playing in a mess. Zhang Hao was no longer interested after watching it for a while and chatted with April Clark very happily.

Pierce next to him listened to the conversation between Zhang Hao and the tennis girl in their apartment, and said in his heart, "I'm so tired"! What about the promise of "poverty than not worthy of a girlfriend"? This guy betrayed the organization!

Looking at the April Clark who was amused by Zhang Hao, Pierce really didn't expect that Zhang Hao would have such a move! This guy was not bad at first, but he was not as uncontrollable as Pierce and had a good figure. After this idea, after he was willing to chat more, this tennis beauty in the school seemed to be falling!

Pierce felt a sense of tears that his pig brother was finally going to give cabbage...but, Pierley hadn't given cabbage yet! This made him even more tears...

In the All-Star Trials, Mike Bibby lost, and he could lose with such a best point guard in the United States!

At the end of the game, all the players participating in the slam dunk contest who did not see this game also came.

When Carter came to the scene, many students focused on him. In the past few days, Los Angeles TV and radio stations have been promoting how awesome Carter's dunk was. There is no doubt that McDonald's spent money on publicity, but it also made many students interested in him.

Zhang Hao and Tyron Lu also came to the court to warm up.

The host introduced each player one by one. Among them, Zhang Hao received the most cheers. Among the high school students in Los Angeles, his strength ranks at the top, and Pierce is stronger than him. Among Hispanic and white students, Zhang Hao is more popular.

Everyone has seen each other in the morning and got to know each other. This time, through the host's introduction, we learned more about each other.

Although the players participating in the Dunk Contest are not stronger than those participating in the All-Star Trials, they are not much worse. They are all athletic and physically qualified men. In high school, they can often walk sideways by relying on their athletic ability, unless they meet players like Mike Bibby and Pierce who are obviously one level higher than their skills, while those of Garnett and Kobe Bryant are both top-notch in high school, so they must have been very famous in high school.

The judges' seats have also been arranged. When Julius Irving, the 76ers legendary player of the jury this year, brought the jury into the stadium, thousands of students on the scene and the players on the sidelines were crazy and cheered!

This is the first player in contemporary basketball to truly play in the air! Michael Jordan calls him an idol!

In front of the cameraman who was filming at three angles, Julius Irving encouraged the players participating and then sat down with the other two judges. Not many of the other two judges knew each other, but they seemed to be retired NBA players, so they came to make extra money.

The host explained the rules. If the dunk is passed by the three judges, then they will advance to the finals directly. If two judges pass, this is to be determined. In the end, if there are not enough 6 players who pass the three votes, they will be selected from the players who pass the two votes, and so on. If there is no vote, they will be eliminated directly.

Soon, the preliminaries began, and Zhang Hao's number was 13... In the eyes of Americans, it was really an unlucky number.

The number of Ricky Davis that Zhang Hao noticed was 9, Desmond Mason was 11, Tyron Lu was 12, and Carter's number was 25. Since Pierce withdrew from the competition, Carter will be the 24th.

It is clearly the finale used by McDonald's. I guess Carter will be the finale in the finale.

Just talking about the viewing ability, Zhang Hao felt that the dunks of the players in front of him were pretty good, with good bounces and relaxed movements. After all, they were the best high school students in the United States invited by McDonald's. When the sixth player dunked, the first dunk that passed all three votes appeared. This was also the first pass given by Julius Irving tonight.

Dean Grove, a black charcoal with blackness in the scene after Nazel Mohammed, won Julius Irving's first pass with an ornamental dunk.

Ricky Davis, who was on the 9th, made a dunk with a crotch. Because Dean Grove was in front of him, Julius Irving failed to hold up the sign, and the two votes were to be determined.

Desmond Mason, who was 11th in the field, used a beautiful board-to-board catch and turned around and 180-degree back button to win the second unanimous vote.

Zhang Hao thought Tyron Lu would amazed him. After all, Fisher could fly when he was young, but in the end, Tyron Lu rushed up and was eliminated directly...

Finally, it’s Zhang Hao!

There were many fans who were familiar with Zhang Hao at the scene. After all, they were all students from Los Angeles. More than 200 people from Inglewood High School were cheering wildly. The essence of human beings was a repeater, and other students also cheered.

Others' attention was not on Zhang Hao, such as Desmond Mason and Ricky Davis, and their targets were Carter who had been interviewing for the past two days.

But when they heard the cheers of the fans at the scene, they also focused on Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao walked onto the court and was particularly excited!

For future memories, this is the first time in his life that so many people watched him participate in a competition, but the memories of this era made him quite calm because there were many spectators in their school competitions.

At this moment, Zhang Hao, who had a memory of the future, regarded playing basketball as a way to survive, was a little bit in love with such cheers from the bottom of his heart.
