Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 305 Controversial
No matter how topical Li Weisi's consecutive three-point title is, the focus of tonight is always the slam dunk contest, and the focus of the slam dunk contest is undoubtedly the duel between Jordan and Wilkins.

This slam dunk contest has attracted countless attention even before the start of the game, even higher than the main game.

In fact, as early as 1985, the two had fought in the slam dunk contest, but that time, Jordan's poor performance in the finals finally allowed Wilkins to win the slam dunk contest.

But Jordan also won the slam dunk king in 1987, but it was a pity that Wilkins was unable to play due to injury.

However, this year, it all happened, and Jordan wanted to get revenge on his doorstep.

Wilkins also said before the game: "Of course I want to beat Jordan, just like Jordan wants to beat me. No one can say that he must be better than his opponent, but what is certain is that this is the strongest player in the league. No matter who wins or loses in the fight between the two top dunkers, what is certain is that the audience will definitely enjoy watching it."

In fact, besides these two great gods, among the contestants this year, there are Greg Anderson, "Glider" Drexler, Jerome Cauchy, "Little Potato" Webber, Otis Smith .

It's a pity that Weber's knee has been operated on before, and he is no longer at the peak. Cauchy and Anderson are not strong enough to be competitive.

However, no one paid attention to these, because everyone's eyes were on those two people, and even Drexler was destined to be just a background board.

Sure enough, Jordan played in the fifth game and directly scored 47 points with a wonderful one-arm dunk with a small windmill. You must know that Anderson, who had the highest score among the four before, only had 42 points.

After that, Drexler performed a windmill dunk from the front and scored 44 points. Wilkins was the last to appear.

Jordan's second shot was a back-to-basket pull-bar dunk for another 47 points.

Wilkins didn't give up much, resorted to a twist and one-arm dunk, and scored 47 points.

In this way, in addition to Jordan and Wilkins, Drexler and Smith entered the semifinals. The two scored 42 and 47 respectively in the second ball.

In the semifinals, Jordan scored 145 points for three dunks, and Wilkins scored 143 points. The two successfully reached the final together.

At this point in the game, everything was as it was in the script, and the story gradually reached its climax.

For the first dunk in the final, Wilkins took the lead and completed a self-throw and self-dunk. After hitting the backboard, Wilkins rebounded and dunked with one arm.

For this ball, Wilkins was still some distance away from the basket when he took off. He used his super bounce and wingspan to complete the dunk, and this dunk also successfully conquered the judges and got a full score of 50.

Then Jordan used a back-to-back dunk with both hands after a run-up and take-off, and the judges also gave 50 points.

In the second dunk of the final, Wilkins used a one-armed windmill after the baseline run-up. The movement was very beautiful, and he successfully scored 50 points again.

As for Jordan's second dunk, this time he chose a frontal dunk with both hands after the run-up. Because it was somewhat similar to the previous dunk, the judges only gave 45 points this time.

The fans at the scene did not dare to boo.

"Shhhhhh... are the judges blind?" the little friend beside Barack couldn't help complaining.

After Barack heard it, he didn't say anything, because he was also very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty for the ball. Such a beautiful dunk only scored 45 points. How could Jordan win?
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Wilkins's third dunk, a two-handed windmill dunk, was the dunk he was most satisfied with. He once thought he could get a full score, but the judges only gave it 45 points. .

Even Wei Cheekbang De couldn't score such a score.

Although the audience at the scene was very satisfied at this time, more fans who watched on TV were very dissatisfied, why?Do you have to keep Jordan to win the championship?
No way, something like a dunk contest is a bit similar to rhythmic gymnastics. It is not like a three-pointer. It is clear at a glance how many goals you score. Instead, it needs to be scored by the judges, so the score will naturally Controversy arises and cannot please everyone.

Sure enough, the knock on the stage followed by another dunk from the free throw line. However, the first attempt ended in failure, and it was not until the second time that the classic free throw line dunk was completed.

And Jordan's last dunk naturally scored 50 points.

In the end, Jordan counterattacked and won the championship in the final round, defeating Wilkins and winning the slam dunk contest championship that has shone in history.

However, as one of the most classic slam dunk contests in NBA history, he left a lot of controversy. After many years, when Wilkins talked about this slam dunk contest, he still said that he was the champion.

Even after the new century, Wilkins revealed in an interview, "I had dinner with Jordan once, and he told me, 'You actually won that time.'"

We don't know whether this interview is true or not, but this slam dunk contest is indeed full of ups and downs and soul-stirring.

After watching this slam dunk contest, people have a feeling of watching a wonderful movie, with endless aftertaste.

It has to be said that competitive sports are like this. A thriving show is not spring, and a hundred flowers blooming is a bit chaotic. Only Shuanglong Xizhu is the most in line with the audience's ideas. Last year's three-point contest, this year's slam dunk contest, and the black and white duo that are constantly being promoted by the league are no exception. All so?
As for the controversy, as time goes by, people will gradually forget it, leaving only the memory of Jordan winning the dunk king.

Walking out of the Chicago gymnasium, Barack's little friend hadn't calmed down from his excitement, and he was still chattering: "It's great, Michael is really great, I knew he would win."

"Yeah, but I think Dominique is great too." Barack said a rare justice for Wilkins.

"Of course, but he is not Michael's opponent." It's just that the friends don't buy what Barack said. In their eyes, Jordan is a symbol of Chicago. If Jordan is not allowed to win on their own territory, then who is eligible to win? ?

Barack didn't have such extreme ideas. It has to be said that although they had the same skin color, Barack had been actively trying to integrate into them in the past two years. However, due to differences in family, education and other factors, he still couldn't fully integrate into them. It is also an important reason why he wants to go to Harvard for further study.

"When are you leaving?" the little friend asked suddenly.

"It's still early! School will only start in August, and I still have half a year left." Barack still smiled, but the nostalgia in his eyes was getting less and less.
