The second round of dunks in the preliminaries was played from low to high based on the score of the first dunk. Wang Feng, who scored the highest score of 50 points, was ranked last. Just like the three-point contest is always the finale, Wang Feng actually won the dunk contest.
It's the same treatment.
"It's Wang Feng's turn again. The three previous players have completed their respective shots. Among them, the best scorer is Mitchell who scored 48 points in the first dunk and 50 points in the second dunk like Wang Feng. He is currently
With a score of 98 points, we have been determined to qualify for the preliminaries."
"Below Mitchell, there was Dennis Smith who also scored 50 points for the second dunk. Unfortunately, his first dunk was abnormal and he only scored 39 points, so the total score is 89 points. Wang Feng only needs to score 40 points for this dunk.
Passing Smith into the finals."
Wang Feng walked onto the field and waved to the outside, which immediately aroused cheers from the audience.
At Staples Center, Wang Feng is the most popular player.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Feng quickly dribbled the ball to the basket, then took off with both feet, turned 360 degrees in the air and dunked with his hips!
"boom--!"
The whole place was instantly detonated!
Wang Feng's dunk action is similar to that of Dennis Smith Jr. who previously scored 50 points. It is a 360-degree body turn plus a crotch change of hands for dunk. This trick is also often seen in dunk contests and is the most challenging dunker.
The ability to stay in the air!
Even with Wang Feng's 90 bounce and 90 dunk ability, it took him a long time to become proficient in this move.
Compared with Dennis Smith Jr., Wang Feng's movements are significantly more complete and the movements are more stretched. Although Dennis Smith Jr. is only 1.91 meters tall, which has a higher bonus than Wang Feng, it took him three attempts to complete it.
, and the degree of completion was obviously not as good as Wang Feng's, so Wang Feng's rather similar dunk was also given a high score of 49 points.
"Very good! The referees scored 49 points. In this case, Wang Feng received a total score of 99 points and entered the finals as the first place in the preliminaries. In the finals, he will have two rounds of dunk competition with Mitchell. The one with the highest score will be the winner.
Will become the new dunk king!"
…
After a brief break of a few minutes, the finals of the slam dunk contest began.
Since his score in the preliminaries was lower than Wang Feng's, Mitchell came on first to dunk.
His first dunk was a dunk off the board. His body was well stretched and the dunk was quite powerful. However, compared with Wang Feng's first dunk on the board in the preliminaries, both the technique and the beauty of the dunk were inferior.
many.
In another time and space, this dunk would have been a high score of 50 points due to the bonus of small players, but now, with Wang Feng Yuzhu in front, it is not easy for Mitchell, who is only 1.91 meters tall, to complete this dunk.
The judges were still not satisfied and only gave 46 points.
"I wonder what kind of dunk Wang Feng will show after entering the finals?"
Everyone watched Wang Feng's appearance with great anticipation.
Holding a basketball in hand, Wang Feng feels calm.
As a keyboard warrior for 22 years, Wang Feng knows exactly what most fans want in the Dunk Contest.
Although the slam dunk contest has been flaunting innovation, creativity, and imagination since the 1990s, what really attracts fans is the thrilling, violent and intuitive visual look and feel!
However, the dunk contest in recent years has become synonymous with cross-dressing and tribute. Just like Oladipo's second dunk, the Black Panther actor borrowed a Black Panther hood and then completed a performance wearing the hood.
A very ordinary dunk.
Nance Jr., who Wang Feng replaced and was supposed to participate in the slam dunk contest, invited his retired father to express his emotions twice in a row.
Even Wang Feng's current opponent Mitchell is no exception. Not surprisingly, his last dunk will be in Carter's jersey and complete Carter's classic dunk tribute.
A hammer salute? Who in the audience likes to see these tributes? Even the referee who scored the score has long been tired of it after so many years, so Mitchell only scored 48 points for the second dunk.
The most valuable dunk contest in recent years is undoubtedly the peak showdown between LaVine and Gordon in 2016. No one on either side played any tricks, it was just a competition in dunking skills, a perfect visual feast!
Therefore, Wang Feng had already thought about it when he chose his actions for the slam dunk contest.
Abandon all vulgar activities and dedicate everything to dunking. It doesn't matter if there is no creative dunking action, it doesn't matter if there is no tribute feeling, just use dunking to conquer the audience!
Although Wang Feng's dunk ability value of 90 is not the highest among players who have participated in the slam dunk contest, nor is his jumping ability of 90, but when combined with the two, there are not many players who can compare with him, so there are many
He can do even difficult dunks, such as the dunk he is going to do below.
…
"Oh, unlike the previous two dunks, Wang Feng almost retreated to the center circle this time. It seems that his dunk requires a long-distance run-up."
Wang Feng started, and his sprint speed was very fast! Especially when he didn't need to dribble, his speed of 92 and agility of 93 were fully displayed. He was like a cheetah, rushing to the three-point line in the blink of an eye.
Inside.
"It's a free throw line dunk!"
Wang Feng took a big step, stepped hard on the free throw line, and flew into the air like a big bird!
The moment his body was in the air, time seemed to freeze. Wang Feng changed the basketball he was holding in his left hand from behind his back to his right hand, and then dunked the basketball hard into the basket with a tomahawk style!
"boom--!"
The atmosphere in the whole place was instantly detonated!
Jumping from the free throw line! Plus a behind-the-back dunk!
"Oh my god! Has Wang Feng grown wings?"
The commentators in the studio were stunned by this scene.
The free throw line dunk is also a very common action in the dunk contest, but due to the long flight distance, it becomes very difficult to add other actions to it. The most recent one to add an action is Zach LaVine's free throw line
Switch hands and dunk under the crotch.
From the perspective of difficulty, the two moves are hard to distinguish, but at least in this year's slam dunk contest, this move is undoubtedly worthy of full marks!
"The judges have scored! Sure enough, there is no dispute that they are all full marks! Wang Feng is really too strong, he is really going to become the dunk king! Even if Mitchell gets a full score of 50 for the next dunk, Wang Feng only needs the last one
You can win by deducting no less than 47 points!"
Seeing that he was forced into a desperate situation, Mitchell finally took out his trump card for the last dunk - Vince Carter's No. 15 uniform of the Dragons, and then reproduced Carter's classic dunk of the year, three
A 160-degree turn and dunk.
It's a pity that Mitchell's dunk was not very complete, and the action can only be said to be quite satisfactory, with no special highlights, and the tribute to feelings has indeed given the audience too much aesthetic fatigue over the years.
Therefore, Mitchell only scored 48 points for this dunk, and the two dunks totaled 94 points.
