Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk
Chapter 1474 Slam Dunk Contest (3)
Under the expectant and curious gazes of the fans, Zhuang Yu walked onto the court.
Frankly speaking, since Gordon and LaVine both got full marks, Zhuang Yu still felt a little pressured, but he was also confident in himself.
"Come on Zhuang Yu."
"Zhuang Yu, give me a perfect dunk."
"Zhuang Yu, you are the best..."
In the audience, fans began to shout loudly, cheering for Zhuang Yu.
Little Nuomi also waved his hands and shouted in a baby voice: "Dad, Dad..."
Zhuang Yu turned his head and waved to Xiao Nuomi and his family, gave them a "reassuring" look, then reached out to take the basketball and patted it on the floor.
"In that case, let's do it."
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, moved around a little, and waved at Derrick Rose, asking him to come up.
Seeing this scene, everyone knew that Zhuang Yu was most likely going to cooperate with Rose, and it would probably be an alley-oop.
"Hey, it looks like Zhuang Yu is going to do an alley-oop dunk as well."
"Call Rose up and pass the ball to him. Haha, I didn't expect that in the first dunk of the first round, several participating players chose to dunk."
In this first round of dunks, Collins, Gordon, and LaVine all chose alley-oop dunks, but some of them threw the ball and caught it themselves, while others required cooperation from their teammates.
Rose was seen holding the ball to the left side of the basket, while Zhuang Yu came to the right side of the basket and retreated directly to the baseline.
Ross looked at Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu nodded at him, then started to move forward. After taking a few steps forward, Zhuang Yu jumped up, and Rose also threw the ball over the basket at the right time.
This was an alley-oop pass, but what puzzled the fans was, was it just a simple alley-oop dunk?
It shouldn't be.
Logically speaking, Gordon and LaVine have already scored full marks, so Zhuang Yu must aim for a high score, or even a full score.
Although both of them were alley-oops, Gordon completed the dunk by turning 360 degrees in the air, while LaVine dunked the ball between his legs by throwing the ball to the basket and then dunking it himself. Neither of them were simple alley-oop dunks, and only Collins's alley-oop dunk was relatively simple, so he only scored 40 points.
If Zhuang Yu wants to get high scores, or even full marks, it is naturally impossible for him to simply do an alley-oop dunk.
"Will you do a 360-degree mid-air spin, too?"
"Impossible. Look at the height of Rose's pass. The basketball has already passed the basket. When Zhuang Yu received the ball, he had almost jumped to the highest point. It is impossible for him to turn in the air."
"That's right. I can't do a mid-air turn, and I don't think I can change hands under my crotch. But if these two things don't work, how exactly is Zhuang Yu going to do this ball?"
The fans couldn't help but frown, a little confused.
Generally speaking, if one wants to complete a 360-degree turn after an alley-oop like Gordon did, the alley-oop must be done before he reaches the highest point of his jump, because once he jumps to the highest point, it is difficult to do a 360-degree turn.
This movement must start during the ascent. When you jump to the highest point, you should turn 180 degrees. With inertia, you should complete the final 180-degree turn during the descent and dunk the ball into the basket.
The same goes for LaVine's self-throw and dunk, and the change of hands between the legs. He has to grasp the timing of catching the ball and cannot wait until he reaches the highest point of his jump to catch the ball, otherwise it will be difficult to do more moves.
As for Zhuang Yu's alley-oop, it is not difficult to see from Rose's pass that when the basketball passed the basket and fell into Zhuang Yu's hands, Zhuang Yu was probably at the highest point.
At this time, you can often only grab the ball in the air and then dunk it directly towards the basket. It is almost impossible to do anything like turning 360 degrees or changing hands under the crotch.
No one can stay in the air for that long.
What's more, when a person reaches the highest point after jumping, his strength has been exhausted and he will not be able to do many movements.
Amid people's confused and curious gazes, Zhuang Yu soared into the sky, raised his right hand high, grabbed the basketball that had passed the basket, and his body moved forward with inertia. His right hand was like a battle axe, and it seemed that he was going to do a battle axe dunk.
However, the next moment, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Zhuang Yu suddenly retracted his raised right hand, grabbed the basketball with both hands, then tightened his abdomen and bent his knees, and actually did a pull-up in the air.
Originally his arms and the basketball were already higher than the basket, but as he tightened his abdomen, bent his knees, and pulled the ball back, his whole body flew from the right side of the basket to the left side due to inertia.
This was beyond the fans' expectations, and it only made them even more confused.
"Pull-up? It's really beautiful, but this is a dunk contest, not a layup contest."
"No way? How can I deduct this?"
At this time, Zhuang Yu did a pull-up in the air and began to fall. Usually, this kind of action in the game is to use the pull-up to avoid being blocked, and then reverse layup. But this is a dunk contest, not a layup contest. Even if you pull the lever beautifully, it will be useless if you can't dunk the ball in the end.
However, this is what Zhuang Yu wants to challenge.
After he completed the pull-up and flew from the right side of the basket to the left side, he suddenly unfolded his folded body. The whole person seemed to do a somersault in the air, and there was a moment of stagnation, and the falling body seemed to suddenly rise.
Zhuang Yu grabbed the basketball with both hands and dunked it into the basket behind his head.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, shaking the whole place.
The fans were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted, and then there were huge screams, cheers, and applause.
"Holy shit, it turned out to be like this, a pull-up shot in the air, and then a back dunk, why didn't I think of it?"
"This dunk was amazing, beyond everyone's expectations, and it was very difficult."
"Tsk tsk, how did Zhuang Yu come up with this dunk? The key is that he actually succeeded. He flew from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket in the air, and after completing the pull-up, he was able to dunk the ball. It's incredible. What kind of terrifying air-staying ability and body coordination does this require?"
"Don't forget, Zhuang Yu still has his hands clasped behind his back."
"Yes, yes, yes. Zhuang Yu still clasped his hands behind his back. It's obvious that this is not difficult for him. He completed the movement very smoothly. It's so beautiful."
For a moment, the fans cheered excitedly and discussed passionately.
An Xin and others also cheered loudly with excitement. At this moment, they were relieved. Zhuang Yu's dunk was no worse than Gordon and LaVine, and even better.
A group of players also jumped up.
Including the Lakers players who came to cheer for Zhuang Yu, as well as Lavine, Gordon, and Collins, all three of them were shocked.
I didn't expect Zhuang Yu to do this, and succeed.
Looking at the judges, they were also shocked at this moment. From their expressions, you can tell how beautiful this dunk was.
Without a doubt, this is another perfect slam dunk.
Sure enough, the judges gave their scores quickly, everyone gave a full score of 10, and in the end Zhuang Yu got 50 points for this dunk.
There is no suspense about this and it is what everyone expects.
Of course, Gordon and LaVine's dunks were also very beautiful and extremely difficult, and Zhuang Yu's dunk was not only extremely difficult but also very creative.
Maybe in terms of difficulty alone, it may not be much higher than Gordon and LaVine's dunks, but the creativity is definitely better than their dunks.
"Now it's interesting."
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there would be three perfect scores for the first dunk in the first round. Now we have to be careful with the second dunk."
"Yeah, now I guess everyone has to aim for full marks. Without full marks, there's no guarantee that we can enter the second round."
"It was so exciting. Although I knew that this dunk contest would be exciting, I didn't expect it to be this exciting. It was worth it."
The first dunk of the first round was over and the fans were excited.
No one expected that there would be three perfect scores for the first dunk in the first round. Even if they didn't watch the subsequent games, their ticket price today was worth it.
This is just the beginning, so people are looking forward to it more and more...
......
After a short break, the second dunk of the first round began.
The first one to come on was John Collins.
At this moment, Collins' face did not show any depression or nervousness. Instead, he looked very relaxed. After all, for him, the game was over.
However, Collins still took out the airplane model he had prepared long ago.
Yes, it was an airplane model. It was not very big, but not small either. It was pulled out and placed in front of the basket.
It is obvious at first glance that he is going to fly over the airplane model to complete a slam dunk. As for whether he will add more actions after flying over the airplane model, it is unknown.
Collins started running, then jumped up, flew over the airplane model, grabbed the basketball and dunked it into the basket. There was no other action, just a simple dunk after flying over the airplane model.
After it was completed, there was applause from the audience.
However, the fans were somewhat disappointed because they had already guessed the result before the game even started and there was no surprise at all.
Moreover, the difficulty of Collins' dunk was not very high, and it seemed a bit mediocre in the dunk contest.
However, contrary to people's expectations, the judges gave Collins a high score of 45 points for this dunk.
“He actually got 45 points?”
"Maybe because he brought out the airplane model, the judges gave him some extra points for his creativity."
"Actually, whether it's 45 or 46 points, it doesn't matter. Even if Collins gets a perfect score, he won't make it to the second round."
"Oh, that's right..."
This dunk is not that beautiful.
The reason why the judges gave a high score of 45 points was just to do Collins a favor and not to embarrass him.
Anyway, it’s useless to give a high score. Zhuang Yu, Gordon and LaVine will definitely aim for the full score of 50 points later.
In addition, the three of them had all scored full marks in their first dunk, so Collins could not threaten them anyway, so they gave Collins a fairly acceptable score to take Collins' feelings into consideration, and no one would have any objections.
