I’m Really Playing Basketball

In history, the 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion Nate Robinson's victory caused a rebound from all the top players in the entire league.

After Nate Robinson won the championship, Iverson said bluntly: "We were robbed in Houston!"

After all, Iguodala's dunk talent is too good, and his dunk moves are much more difficult than Nate Robinson's gimmick-filled moves.

Iguodala played high jump when he was in high school, and his highest score was 2.10 meters. Even Chamberlain, who existed in legends like a monster, was only 1.98 meters when he played high jump in high school.

After all, the Olympic high jump world record is only 2.39 meters.

A high school student can reach 2.10 meters. If he plays high jump professionally, Iguodala can also become a first-rate player in high jump.

Of course, in the end he embarked on the path of basketball.

Therefore, after being robbed of the slam dunk contest championship by Nate Robinson, James, Kobe, Wade, and a group of NBA superstars clearly stood on Iguodala's side.

Even most fans find Nate Robinson's stunts of showing off his misfortune and showing off his height to be boring and uninteresting.

A dunk contest can be a gimmick, just like a skit can be funny, but if you engage in personal attacks like that, there will definitely be controversy.

But this time, Bynum won the championship. After defeating Iguodala with these gimmicks created by Howard for Bynum, it did not arouse the disgust of Iguodala and the tall stars in the league. time, Iguodala congratulated Bynum.

Ray Allen also congratulated Chen Xiao.

I have to say that there are low-level and high-level gimmicks.

Therefore, after winning the slam dunk contest with perfect scores in all actions, Bynum really became a well-known figure in the United States and even the world overnight.

Bynum hasn't played that much with the Bobcats this season.

The Bobcats still have great protection for this young center who is lacking everything.

The current Bynum is indeed not suitable for playing for a long time on the court. He needs to change his playing habits and adapt to high-intensity competition.

Otherwise, taking on heavy responsibilities too early will sooner or later cause impossible damage to his body.

So, despite the fact that Bynum is the Bobcats' highest-ranked rookie, in fact, the most well-known rookie in the Bobcats is Granger.

After all, Granger is the favorite for Rookie of the Year right now.

But now, after the slam dunk contest, Bynum has successfully surpassed Granger and become the most famous figure among the rookies.

Even the next day, Bynum's report was the front-page headline in USA Today.

As for the two superstars, Nowitzki, the three-point contest champion, and Wade, the skills challenge champion, they have become Bynum's supporting roles.

The headline on the front page of USA Today the next day was: "Bynum's overnight fame is no accident, he is confident that he can defeat his opponents and conquer the world!"

Good guy, words like "conquer the world" come out.

It can be seen how highly the experts, fans, spectators and players in USA Today and the United States praised Bynum's performance in the dunk contest.

"Winning the slam dunk championship is a shortcut to fame.

Before winning the slam dunk championship, Andrew Bynum was just an 18-year-old big man who could run and jump, but now, he has a very special aura.

Like most young dunkers, Bynum was able to dunk when he was in middle school.

Due to his heavy weight, dunking is a very simple matter for many young American talents, but for Bynum, it is not so simple. Bynum has a heart eager to dunk, and he is eager to play like Carter can perform fancy dunks like Jordan, but his weight is destined to prevent him from doing so.

Therefore, Bynum claimed that he has been fantasizing about conquering dunks in his own way: "I was thinking about those interesting dunks when I was in middle school."

Bynum loves watching old dunk videos.

After watching the tape of last year's slam dunk contest, LeBron James' dunk left a deep impression on him, but he insisted that he will definitely do better.

And now, he has become the NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion like LeBron James. Even all his dunks have perfect scores. He has conquered the fans more thoroughly than LeBron James.

Bynum's success is not an easy thing. When he was a senior in high school last year, he watched all the videos of "Human Movie Essence" Wilkins' dunk contest. However, the more he did this, the more emptiness he felt. And regret, because he can only see but not do, his body cannot make the movements he desires.

He doesn't know if his new and creative dunks can be recognized by everyone.

Before the dunk contest, Bynum said of his competitor Iguodala: "Everyone knows he can jump very well, has incredible feet, and has a good figure. He is the older and younger Carter. There’s so much he can do.”

As for Josh Smith, Bynum said: "I believe everyone still remembers his dunk in the Raptors. This guy is undoubtedly a jumping maniac."

Despite the difficulties, Bynum is quite optimistic. He said: "I know that in order to win, I have to do something strange and interesting to the audience in this year's dunk contest."

Before the game, many people were still immersed in the fantasy of Iguodala, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

There are also many veterans who are convinced that something incredible will happen to this magical little man Nate Robinson.

But no one is optimistic about Bynum. Everyone thinks he is here to make up for the dunk contest.

If you made a bet with your friend before the game and you picked Bynum, congratulations, you won easily.

If you bet on Bynum before the game, congratulations, if you bet on the house in Charlotte, you will now win back a mansion in Los Angeles or New York.

In short, Bynum became the champion of the NBA slam dunk contest when he was 18 years old. Whether it is his full score or the youngest age of 18 years old, he will enter the history of the NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. "

It appeared on the front page of USA Today. To be honest, among the Bobcats, the only one other than Chen Xiao is Bynum.

I have to say that after this dunk contest ended, Bynum was really good.

The whole person was a little flustered.

So when Chen Xiao saw this young man the next day, he had already changed his hairstyle.

Chen Xiao and Luo Ge's eyes even dropped out when they saw the haircut and blow-drying.

And behind his washed, cut and blown hairstyle, that is, on the back of his head, there is a slam dunk English letter shaved off, and these English letters are still dyed with colorful colors.

Seeing Bynum's hairstyle at this time, to be honest, Chen Xiao had the urge to trade this kid.

Damn, this aesthetic is too peculiar.

And at this moment, Nash also just came out of the hotel to attend the hope press conference, saw Chen Xiao's constipated look, and looked at Bynum's hairstyle at this time.

After being shocked and stunned, Nash looked at Chen Xiao's current expression, and then thought about his teammate Milicic.

Nash soon felt empathy for Chen Xiao.

"Chen, I understand, I understand."

"..."

Nash patted Chen Xiao on the back and floated away, leaving Chen Xiao with a confused expression on his face.

The All-Star Game during this All-Star Weekend is still attracting a lot of attention.

Especially because of the theme of confrontation between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen.

And because Chen Xiao and Ray Allen are players on the same team, as the head coach of the Eastern All-Stars, Terry Porter received special attention.

On the All-Star media day, besides Chen Xiao and Ray Allen, the most sought after person is Bucks head coach Terry Porter.

And when asked about Chen Xiao and Ray Allen, Terry Potter also said with a smile that he would replace Paul, Chen Xiao, Ray Allen and Michael Reed at the same time in the game: "I think they are four Personally, it perfectly meets the requirements of my five small tactics. Wonder Boy is the most perfect center in my five small formations. Chris Paul can pass and defend. Ray and Michael can shoot. They are both great. I will provide them with a It’s a perfect stage.”

When asked who would be the remaining player besides these four, Terry Porter thought for a while and said: "We have many excellent players, but in the remaining At that position, there is no doubt that Carter may be the best choice, he has strength, he can pass, he can defend, he can shoot, and he is also a perfect player."

Of course, although the theme of this All-Star Game is the battle between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen.

But the All-Star Game must be the stage for all All-Stars.

So although the other all-stars were somewhat overshadowed by Chen Xiao and Ray Allen, they still attracted attention.

For example, Sports Illustrated conducted a very interesting survey on the All-Stars of this All-Star Game.

In this survey, Arenas, Michael Reid, Brand, and Gasol were selected as the top four most underestimated players in this All-Star Game.

When interviewed by Sports Illustrated on the media day, Arenas said frankly: "I don't appear on TV as frequently as others, so not many people have actually seen my game." Arenas continued. : "Most people see only my data."

Indeed, Arenas can average 28.5 points per game this season, but his visibility is a bit low compared to his performance on the field, mainly because San Antonio's visibility is not high.

Even if you are dumb, this is the case, let alone a general.

In this Sports Illustrated survey, Arenas won 3% of the votes in this survey, ranking fourth among all 248 stars participating in the election.

By the way, this Sports Illustrated survey is not limited to All-Star players.

The second head of the Bucks, Michael Reid, received 5% of the votes, but Michael Reid was selected to the All-Star team for the first time this year.

The Pistons' main point guard Billups received 14% of the votes, becoming the most underrated star in the eyes of fans.

Brand, who contributed to the Clippers' comeback this year, got 12% of the votes, which is the No. 1 among All-Star players.

Pau Gasol received 8% of the vote, the second most underrated All-Star.

"Maybe it's because of our past records, we weren't a winning team before," Brand explained, "but I think people should take Gilbert and me out of this vote now." Cull out.”

Brand admitted that he himself voted for Arenas. But at the same time, on the All-Star Media Day, Brand said that Arenas should be one of the most powerful contenders for this season's MVP for discussion: "I think Gilbert and Ron, like Chen and Ray, should be considered for MVP competition." For discussion, All-Stars cannot explain his strength."

As for Brand himself, he is also very good in the Clippers this season and has also been selected as an All-Star, which means that he is already considered one of the most powerful top 24 stars in this league.

So Brand also said he doesn't feel undervalued.

"When I got to where I am now, being named an All-Star, it means people already think of you as one of the best players," Brand said. "I don't know when you guys did that vote." , maybe I haven’t become the Brand that people imagined. In any case, it’s an honor for me to be looked up to like this.”

It has to be said that the captain is still very low-key and wildly praised Arenas during the media day.

It can only be said that Arenas really caused huge harm to the Clippers in this regular season.

The generals are still good at playing teams in big cities.

Not to mention the Clippers, Los Angeles and Colorado are both victims this season.

Arenas now ranks fifth in the NBA scoring list with an average of 28.5 points per game, second only to Chen Xiao, Iverson, James, and Ray Allen.

But he has always been regarded as Ron Howard's second-in-command in the Spurs. Obviously, Brandon feels that there cannot be such a strong second-in-chief in this world. Don't care.

"It doesn't bother me in any way," Arenas said. "I don't do a lot of TV, I don't have any business, so most people don't know who I am. Only true basketball fans will know me."

Finally, Arenas added: "I enjoyed my time with Ron as a teammate. He is a great and selfless player, and so am I. We all love and respect each other. Hahahaha, I will put Brandon took my compliments as 'stoking discord' between us, which is bound to fail."

In addition to surveying the most underrated players, Sports Illustrated also surveyed the most overrated players.

The votes are still professionals such as NBA players and coaches.

Ranked first is the lone wolf Marbury, who received 12% of the votes. This time he was not selected as an All-Star.

The second place is Xiaopao, and the third place is Yao Ming. This is interesting.

Because Sports Illustrated is the most authoritative media in the United States.

So the two spent the media day answering that question.

Xiaopao has always been said to be a data brush and overrated, but this is nothing, he is used to it, and even he himself feels that he is indeed overrated.

But Dayao is just...

After learning the survey results from Sports Illustrated, Yao was obviously a little surprised, but he immediately said it was understandable.

"I can't please everyone."

"If they want a different voice, I think I can accept that. I have to learn to live with that and continue to play my own game."

But when Chen Xiao was asked this question, he was not as understanding as Dayao.

"I think in the NBA, where we can't see, there's still deep, dark racism, and I'm sure those players and coaches who voted for Yao Ming must have told you to keep their names a secret .”

"..."

The Sports Illustrated reporter shut himself up on the spot.

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

After the All-Star interview on Media Day, Dayao, who had received the news from Teacher Zhang and Chinese reporters, thanked Chen Xiao very sincerely.

Chen Xiao was still very angry about this.

"Dayao, you are now the vice chairman of the players' union. If you have something to do, don't be so gentle, courteous and frugal. You should talk about it and talk about it. Although we have few people now, we are not afraid of being bullied by anyone, and we will not let anyone Bully!"

"..."

Seeing Chen Xiao's arrogant and domineering look at this time, Dayao opened his mouth and looked dull, and after the dullness passed, Dayao's eyes were full of emotion and he nodded heavily.

"Xiao Chen, I understand!"

"That's right, God damn my Yao is overestimated. You just didn't make it too far in the playoffs, and you're always ignored. This All-Star, let those people see your strength!"

Ding!

At this time, another message appeared on the system's task interface.

Mission: Make Yao Ming no longer underestimated

Mission description: Let Yao Ming shine in the All-Star Game.

Task Rewards: Depends on task completion.

Another mission!

Yes, Dayao!

ps: Second update, please vote for me, please vote for me! !
