Chapter 461: New Slam Dunk King! (First Update!)
For the first three dunks, Tang Tian's dunks were more exciting than the other, but they were essentially the same.
Whether it's the free throw line, or flying Davis, or flying five people.
In fact, they are all pursuing absolute bounce.
Five people is already the limit, if you want to attract attention, it is impossible to use this trick again.
And after Pierre came out, he didn't seem to be ready to continue playing this trick.
So the expectations of the fans are still very high at this moment.
Tang Tian walked to the bottom corner.
He looked noticeably more serious than before.
After taking a deep breath, he took a run-up from the baseline and jumped two steps away from Pierre.
At the same time as he jumped up, he turned sideways.
He didn't reach out to catch the ball, and the first take-off distance was not good and ended in failure.
There was a commotion at the scene.
Although the first attempt was unsuccessful, it could be seen that Tang Tian's dunk was extremely difficult.
Tang Tian adjusted his breathing and returned to the bottom corner.
He walked to the bottom corner and did not immediately start the second attempt, but opened his hand and waved upwards, mobilizing the emotions of the fans.
"He's so adorable!"
Seeing this, Barkley laughed and said in the commentary booth.
As a person of yellow race, Tang Tian can be humorous and showy, and can interact with the audience in this way, which is really different.
Now this popularity is what he deserves.
There were cheers and whistles at the scene.
After Tang Tian adjusted his breathing, he accelerated and rushed towards the basket again. This time he jumped up three steps away from Pierre.
The height and angle look about the same.
He adjusted his posture in the air, with his back against the basket, adjusted his posture during the ascent, and slowly raised his legs to form a ninety-degree angle with his upper body.
He is doing a "sitting" pose!
The eyes of the fans at the scene have widened. The dunk has not yet come out, but the visual effect has already exploded!
The dunking continues!
While sitting, Tang Tian just happened to fly over Pierre's head.
He picked up the ball in Pierre's hand with his left hand and stuffed it under his buttocks with his right hand.
This action also involves changing hands!
After the ball is switched to the right hand, it hangs in the air, drifts, pulls the ball, and kicks back with one hand with the right hand!
The whole action is done in one go.
"Boom!"
The basketball was dunked into the hoop!
This is the most classic bench dunk action between Aaron Gordon and LaVine in the future.
Tang Tian tried it for the second time, and it succeeded!
"Oh! my. God!"
Kenny Smith's jaw dropped.
Barkley climbed directly from behind the commentary booth to the front, and rushed onto the stage to congratulate Tang Tian!
The cheers burst.
This buckle, the visual effect is MAX!
And the point is that no one has ever tried this idea in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest!
This feeling is like Carter's first hanging basket dunk in the slam dunk contest.
Unique!
And after Tang Tian gained weight, the sense of strength and muscle lines when he dunked are also fully revealed!
This buckle is shocking!
If there were ratings, these two deductions would be absolute full marks!
Barkley rushed onto the field and hugged Tang Tian, making everyone laugh.
Followed by Wall, George and others all came forward to congratulate.
Although the result has not been announced yet, it is already a certainty.
Davis came up and yelled at Tang Tian. He seemed even more excited than Tang Tian.
After a short celebration, the on-site staff came over with a tablet.
It has the proportion of fan votes counted by the staff.
"The winner of the 2014 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is Tang Tian, who won 80% of the fans' votes!"
When the host read out the final result, the fans cheered overwhelmingly.
Wall's first dunk was absolutely amazing, but Tang Tian still got 80% of the crushing votes.
This shows that Tang Tian's two buckles are absolutely earth-shattering.
Tang Tian picked up the championship trophy handed over by the staff and held it above his head.
Tang Tian became the new dunk king!
The cheers of the New Orleans Arena resounded through the sky.
Tonight's final two championships, the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, were all won by them!
The Pelicans stole the show in this All-Star Game!
"Thank you Harrison Barnes and Damian Lillard, my teammates worked hard, thank you George and Wall, they were equally good, a good game needs a good opponent, this will be the most classic dunk Contest."
Tang Tian's award acceptance speech was short, but it attracted another burst of cheers from the audience.
As a fan, it is also an honor to witness the classics on the sidelines.
"Are you going to be in the dunk contest again?"
After Tang Tian's award acceptance speech, perhaps because he felt that he hadn't seen enough, the reporter couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Perhaps, if there is an opportunity in the future."
Tang Tian thought for a while and said.
The king of jumping is only strong in height. The last dunk was the most he practiced before, but he still failed to succeed once.
When he has the opportunity to exchange for stronger dunking skills in the future, he is still willing to play again if he is in a good mood.
After all, there will be a man named Zach LaVine in the future.
This answer also made the audience cheer for a long time.
With the groundwork for this slam dunk contest, if Tang Tian participates in the slam dunk contest again, the attention he will receive will be unprecedented.
With the end of the dunk contest, the second day of the All-Star Weekend officially came to an end.
"Remember our agreement."
At the end of the game, Curry took the initiative to run to Tang Tian's side to remind him.
This guy, it looks like he is really planning to show off a slam dunk in tomorrow's main game, so as to get a chance to participate in Tang Tian's training camp!
Tang Tian nodded with a wry smile.
He also wants to see what Curry can play tomorrow.
After this day's game, the fans were talking about the slam dunk contest in full swing, but there are also fans who are looking forward to tomorrow's main game.
Because of tomorrow's main game, Tang Tian and Durant, who had been drooling before, will be the starters in the Western Conference together.
An enemy who is in the same situation as a teammate?
It's an interesting picture to think about.
Moreover, Durant scored the highest score last year but was robbed of the MVP by Paul in the end. With his character, he will definitely want to snatch it back again.
Not to mention anything else, tomorrow's shot right will become a very interesting thing.
What's more interesting is that because the Spurs played a wave of winning streak before the All-Star Game, the record surpassed the Thunder.
So the head coach of the western team will be Tang Tian's mentor Popovich.
Last year's All-Star Game, because the head coach was Brooks of the Thunder, Tang Tian didn't play more than 20 minutes.
This time under Popovich, it must be more than this time.
In addition, this year's East team has a good lineup.
Tomorrow's race is really exciting.
But just before the game started, Tang Tian received a call from Dempsey.
"We can't find a good center in the free market for the time being, and we don't have enough trading chips."
There was some helplessness in Dempsey's words.
Tang Tian and Davis of the Pelicans are not for sale. There are several people with trade value. Morrow and Gordon play important roles in the team.
As for Anderson, because of contract and defensive issues, he couldn't trade insiders of the same value.
Tang Tian frowned slightly when he heard this.
He knows very well that if he does not strengthen the inside line, there is a high probability that he will be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
But at this moment, he remembered someone.
Thanks to Xingfeng Xiaoye for the reward.
