NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

As expected, it was just as Hanamichi expected.

In his script, his teammate and capable general Damon Stoudemire helped him win the honor of the Rookie Game MVP.

Although Das' 17 points, 15 assists, and 4 steals were also very impressive.

But who can blame Hanamichi's 32 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks? It's too scary!

In the words of the on-site commentator Bill Walton, Hanamichi's data can compete for the All-Star MVP!

Naturally, Hanamichi and Das were also selected for the Rookie First Team.

(At this time, it was still the Eastern Rookies against the Western Rookies, and there was no sophomore)

In the following All-Star Game, Hanamichi completely gave up the drama of competing for points with the [Old Rogue] from the same Eastern team.

Instead, he overwhelmed the starting power forward [Rain Man] Kemp in the West in the rebounding competition again and again, leaving a deep impression on all the fans on the scene.

"It's like seeing Rodman with red hair!"

"But this red-haired guy seems to be even more powerful. He can grab 13 rebounds over the head of Rainman Kemp!"

"This is only in the case of playing for 20 minutes!"

After the All-Star Game, [Old Rogue] won the first All-Star MVP trophy after returning to the NBA as he wished.

As for the highlight that Huadao has high hopes for~the dunk contest is here!

The original dunk contest in 1996 was Brent Barry of the Clippers, Michael Finley of the Suns, Greg Miner of the Celtics, Jerry Stackhouse of the 76ers, Doug Christie of the Knicks, and Darrell Armstrong of the Magic.

A total of 6 people participated.

This time, because of Huadao's reasons and Doug Christie's change of club and coming to the Raptors in advance, he had no time for his old reasons, so Huadao replaced Doug Christie to participate in the dunk contest.

In this dunk contest, people only remember Brent Barry's two dunks from the free throw line.

He was the first white man to make a free throw line jump in the dunk contest, and thus won the title of dunk king.

The theme of this year's dunk contest was also established - that is, "White people can fly!"

"This time I have it!"

"Yellow people can fly too!"

The dunk contest started on February 12th local time.

The rules of the dunk contest are:

In the first round, each player must make at least three dunks, and then the two with the highest scores are taken to get the player's first round score.

Among the six players, the three players with the highest scores in the first round enter the finals, and each player is limited to two dunks in the finals, and the highest score is calculated as the basis for determining the champion.

The order of appearance of these six players in the first round is based on the draw, and the order of appearance in the final is based on the first round results. The player with the best performance in the first round can appear at the end of the final.

The first player to appear in the preliminary round was Brent Barry. His first dunk was a one-handed dunk after catching the rebound ball from the floor. It was just mediocre and the completion was also average.

The second dunk was a back-to-back dunk after throwing the ball behind his back and hitting the backboard with both hands. This move was slightly novel. Looking at Brent Barry's appearance, he seemed to be very satisfied with the completion and should be able to get a high score.

As for the third dunk, it was a 360° turn dunk in the air after jumping with one hand holding the ball above his head. This dunk was similar to Stansbury's dunk in 1985, and the completion was also quite good, but the jump distance was not as far as Stansbury's back then.

So although he could get a high score, Brent Barry was still not particularly satisfied with this move.

And to be on the safe side, Brent Barry chose to continue with the fourth dunk.

Barry stood at the free throw line to measure it, then retreated to the backcourt three-point line, ran to the middle of the free throw line with one hand holding the ball, jumped with half of his foot on the free throw line, and dunked the ball.

As soon as this move was completed, the whole audience cheered. Dr. J, who was a judge, was also very excited to see this scene.

In the end, the judges took the highest 2nd and 4th dunks, with an average of 45.5 points, which is a high score to enter the finals in this year!

The second player to appear was Armstrong. His first dunk was a long run-up dunk with two hands folded behind his back in the backcourt.

Because the posture was slightly deformed, although the difficulty coefficient of the move was high, the score of the first dunk was not high.

After that, Armstrong failed to complete the subsequent dunks because of the pressure from Brent Barry, and even became physically exhausted, and the dunk action became a layup action.

It can be said that he was embarrassed in this dunk contest!

Hanamichi also understood why the ratings of such a gimmicky game as the dunk contest were so low!It was not until 1997 that the half-man, half-god Carter came to save this event!

The third player to appear was Stackhouse. His first dunk was a one-arm reverse dunk, his second dunk was a one-arm windmill, his third dunk was a two-handed windmill in the middle, and his fourth dunk was a two-handed folded back dunk at the baseline.

Although all the moves were completed, the overall score was not high.

Finley was the fourth player to appear. His first dunk was a one-arm dunk that hit the basket with a ball that bounced off the floor. Although the action coefficient was quite satisfactory, he was very fierce. Not only was the completion smooth, but there was also a masculine vigor.

The second dunk was a one-arm windmill from the middle, and the third dunk was a one-handed windmill from the baseline with both hands holding the ball in the air. This action is a bit similar to Jordan's kissing the hoop.

And Finley was also very confident in his two dunks. After knowing the high score, he was a little casual in the third dunk.

In the end, Finley's average score in the preliminaries was 45 points, temporarily ranking second in the game.

The fifth person to appear was Miner. Miner's first dunk was a one-arm dunk with one hand catching the ball in the air. The second dunk was a heavy dunk with one arm holding the ball from the middle. The third dunk was a small loop with both hands holding the ball from the baseline. The fourth dunk was a folded back dunk with both hands catching the rebound ball from the floor.

The overall score was 41 points, temporarily ranking third.

Following the hot introduction of the on-site DJ, the last person to appear was Flower.

He also imitated Brent Barry's movements and looked at the free throw line for a while.

Judge Dr. J said in disbelief:

"Is Flower also going to do such a powerful dunk right at the start?"

"From the looks of it, it seems to be a dunk from the free throw line!"

Everyone was surprised, but they were also ready to watch the show. They had no doubt that Flower could do a dunk from the free throw line.

Anyone who knows this rising star knows that he has completed the dunk from the free throw line more than once in a game.

However, if the difficulty coefficient is raised to the maximum at the beginning, then the following dunks may seem mediocre in comparison and fail to get high scores.

But Hanamichi naturally has a way to solve this problem.
