Chapter 539 [Two dunk kings, fight for AMVP again! 】
The most important thing for celebrities to become famous on weekends is not strength, but gimmicks and entertainment for the public. Guo Xu knows this very well.
Xiao Si is usually a very serious person, but now Guo Xu has turned his style off. This is very beneficial to Xiao Si. His popularity will definitely soar after this dunk contest. Although Xiao Si's data is beautiful this year, he is not as popular as he can only be substitutes.
He may be able to compete with Yao Ming next year, and Howard became the star ticket king with his Superman dunk.
According to the rules of the game between Shanxi 2, the final will be between Josh Smith and Stoudemier.
Josh, who appeared first, also started playing gimmicks. He changed into the "Essence of Human Movie" and the No. 21 jersey of retired Hawks legend Dominic Wilkins.
He rushed into the basket from the right and staged Wilkins' iconic windmill-style heavy buckle! The advantage of this action is that his head is almost surpassing the basket.
If it is a jump height, Xiao Si will definitely be inferior to Josh. In addition, he paid tribute to his seniors, and the referees gave him another 50 full marks.
Off the court, Guo Xu called Xiao Si to his side and encouraged him: "Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake once or twice. As long as you deduct it, you will definitely win. Today is about our home court."
"I understand." Xiao Si nodded, determined to make a difficult dunk, and did not change the action even if he made a mistake.
This is the experience of the slam dunk contest. Xiao Si has seen every slam dunk contest, and once the players reduce the difficulty, it is all over.
When Xiao Si appeared, his move was to run towards the basket with the bottom line, then switch hands under his crotch and take back Wangyue's dunk. He completed it with two times, dunked in with his right hand, and the judges gave him a full score of 50.
Josh gave full marks to a big windmill that paid tribute. Xiao Si's movements were much more difficult, and it was unreasonable for the judges not to give full marks.
Moreover, Xiao Si's previous knockout was full of gimmicks, and almost everyone wanted to see him win the championship, so they psychologically added a lot of points.
It was Josh's turn to perform again. This time he used his ultimate move, 360-degree counterclockwise left-hand dunk, which was very similar to Carter's famous dunk move in 2000.
Josh scored another 50 full marks with his difficult moves, with a total score of 100 points, which means that Sir would have to score a full mark on his next deduction, otherwise the champion would be Josh's.
Xiao Si appeared on the court and threw the ball high on the right side. He followed up to the basket and jumped with his feet. He pushed the ball on the rebound with his left hand and bounced it back with his right hand, and successfully dunked it in one go.
Xiao Si's dunk won cheers and cheers from all the fans, and the five judges also shrank their necks together, feeling incredible. This was an action that had never happened in the dunk contest, and of course it was a full score.
Just like dressed as Superman, this is also the creativity of Dwight Howard, the "Warcraft" in his previous life, and the good idea that Guo Xu gave Xiao Si.
Xiao Si has a strong jumping power. The main reason why he failed to win the dunk king in his previous life is that he lacks creativity that suits him. Using his height to turn around and other tricks is much more difficult than a small dunk. The action of dunking after playing the board is suitable for big men. It is not difficult for him and Howard to do it, but it is difficult for small players to do it, requiring height and wingspan.
This year, Xiao Si copied Howard two actions and equipped the B of "Warcraft" with all the same, which really left the other party with no way out.
Guo Xu also thought about letting Xiao Si dig three balls like McGee and perform acrobatics. Xiao Si didn't practice it in the team, so the success rate was too low and he was forced to give up.
Both of them had full points for two deductions, and the host announced that it had entered overtime for the first time in the history of the dunk contest.
Xiao Sikou was very satisfied with a smile, and Josh's face turned a little ugly.
Josh is not a person who is good at creativity. He is very big and has a similar size to LeBron James. He has used up all four ideas he has prepared. Paying tribute to the famous master is to take shortcuts. His free throw line dunk is also very average. He is really sure that he can get full marks only two moves.
Josh appeared first and had no time to think about new moves.
He chose to throw the ball on the right and hit the board, keeping up with his left hand to throw and snatch himself. His vacancy height is still amazing, but the judges only gave 46 points because it was not creative. McGrady and Carter have deducted it in the All-Star Game.
Xiao Si is still creative and can be used, and Guo Xu comes on the field to cooperate with him.
Xiao Si threw the ball to the rebound from the right. After the ball rebounded, Guo Xu pushed the ball with his head on the left, and a header came. Xiao Si turned around and dunked with his right hand successfully!
Sir and Nash also did this action in their previous life, but it was actually what Sir thought of. The referees gave him 50 full marks, and he was successfully crowned the dunk king.
After the result, Xiao Si was extremely excited. He jumped up and hit the chest on the court to celebrate. Guo Xu deliberately lost his balance and fell to the ground, which caused laughter from the fans all over the audience.
Barkley lamented: "The Suns now have two dunk kings. Jason can even play the celebration moves. This time the All-Star belongs to the Suns. I am also optimistic about the Suns players getting MVP tomorrow. Four of them come, so they must have a tacit cooperation."
Kenny Smith said: "Just Guo Xu only gets another star match MVP and ties Jordan. I think it's not difficult for him to surpass MVP in the future, and his career has just begun."
When giving his award speech, Xiao Si said happily: "I want to thank Jason. There are two dunk ideas he thought about. Without him, I couldn't drag the game into overtime and win."
The reporter asked: "You are selected as the All-Star for the first time. Are you ready to dunk a few more baskets tomorrow?"
"Of course, with Jason here, we are the best combination of pick-and-roll." Xiao Si smiled.
In fact, when they came, they had already discussed the outside scores in the star game. O'Neal became the Eastern Conference, and the defense in the penalty area would be very good. Sir could not easily go into the basket and dunk.
Guo Xu analyzed that shooting three-pointers in this star game is the king, and Sir's task is to pull out to cover the outside. Guo Xu knows O'Neal very well, and it is impossible for him to go out to defend the pick-and-roll in the star game.
During training tomorrow, Guo Xu is preparing to discuss with Yao Ming and ask Yao Ming to pull him out of the three-point line to help him cover it. That would be too cool. Yao Ming's body shape will definitely block people.
And he believed that Yao Ming would be happy to do this. Yao Ming never had the intention to compete for MVP, and his teammate McGrady rarely played pick-and-roll tactics.
In addition to pick-and-roll tactics, Guo Xu can also directly play Iverson with the ball. No matter what the opponent's defensive attitude is, his goal tomorrow is to compete for MVP. He likes any honor, the more the better.
Megan Fox didn't come to Denver, Guo Xu had the strength to play, he would play in the best condition. The Western Conference coach is the Spurs' **Vic, and he will definitely give Guo Xu enough playing time.
This is an unspoken rule for the All-Star Game. In order to see the ratings, the most popular stars must play for more than 25 minutes. The coaches of the Star Game are actually here to play soybeans. They only need to allocate the players' playing time and act as replacements.
There is also an all-star unspoken rule, whether in the East or the West, let the host star play first, and the players will consciously feed the host star. As long as the host is willing to win the amvp, teammates will become beautiful. If the host doesn't care much about the amvp, teammates will usually use their swords and guns to do it, and whoever rushes will be whoever will belong to it.
In this era, the final quarter of the star game is often more intense. If you don’t grab the honors, others may take them away, and the stars will not be polite.
