Reverse Growth Superstar

Bill Simmons was really frightened. He didn't even know how to calculate it. Link will actually participate in the dunk contest!

At the very beginning, he called Link a **** because of this. As a **** fan who has accompanied his father to watch the game since he was a child, Simmons knows the NBA too well. He believes that nowadays, it is impossible for a famous star to take risks in the dunk contest.

However, Link's decision surprised Simmons.

What level of star is Link? Link has accumulated a lot of honors before halfway through the season.

The first place among the top 50 players in the new season, the longest opening streak in the league, three-time player of the week, two-month player, and the fifth player in history to win a triple-double in the Christmas game... ..

You know, this season's regular season has not even finished half of the season, Link's honor has been listed. If we wait for the statistics after the end of the season, Link will definitely have more honors than now.

It is such an already accomplished guy who would choose to participate in the dunk contest!

Link's courage is beyond Bill Simmons's imagination.

Now, Bill Simmons has to seriously consider a question, "What if Link really wins in the dunk contest? I really want to wear women's clothing!?"

Simmons is also one of the best sports column writers in the United States and even in the world, and he is a man with a good face. It would be too shameful to wear women's clothing in full view!

Simmons just wanted to slap himself. He had said the bet on wearing women's clothing.

Kou hi was refreshing, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble.

But after calming down, Simmons found that things had a turnaround!

Not to mention whether Link can win in the end, even if Link wins, Simmons still has the opportunity to shame.

Last season's All-Star Game, the rules of the dunk contest were changed. The number of people participating in the game has increased from 4 to 6, but the game is no longer based on individuals, but a team of three players, and a team confrontation system based on divisional alliances.

After dunking by the two teams, it is not the individual scores, but the team with the higher total score of the three players wins.

In other words, there was no dunk king in the dunk contest last season. In the end, it was the Eastern Stars team that won the game, not someone.

Simmons pinpointed the cut and prepared to drill the horn tip. This year's All-Star, even if Link wins, it will be a victory for the West, not Link's personal victory.

Link is not the dunk king, this is Simmons's excuse for refusing to wear women's clothing after a month and a half!

Simmons laughed, sighing with his amazingly high IQ.

Want to fix me? Your link is too tender! Simmons has hacked the old hot Isaiah Thomas for so many years, Thomas has no choice but to take him.

How could it be possible for a young Chinese player to defeat Simmons.

But as the saying goes, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

The day after Simmons made a bad idea, the league officially released the news again.

"The NBA All-Star individual event cancels the confrontation system between the East and the West and returns to the previous individual system. This year, only four people will participate in the dunk contest, and each person will only represent himself."

Simmons couldn't help shaking as he watched the message on the phone.

This is playing with me! ?

The new system has only been implemented for one year.

The cruel fact is that the league really modified the format because Link was going to participate in the dunk contest.

Last season, why did the league change the dunk contest and other individual events to an East-West confrontation system? Isn't it because there is no big celebrity to participate, there is no stimulus, only innovation in the rules.

Since there are no stars to participate in the dunk contest, then change the "personal first" competition system to "team first".

In this way, can't it conceal the shortcoming of lack of star flavor?

But now that Link announced his participation in the dunk contest, the dunk contest suddenly has a star. There is no doubt that the "team first" format is not in the best interest.

People are watching Link win the championship, not watching Link dragging two teammates who don't know who it is. What people want to see is that Link abuses the other three challengers, or three challengers make Link overturn.

There is no doubt that only the traditional dunk contest rules can best stimulate Link's commercial value.

Therefore, the league is equivalent to a special trip to modify the dunk contest system for Link to maximize benefits.

For such changes, fans have applauded. Only Simmons suddenly felt desperate.

The league has paved the way for Link, and all Link has to do is win the championship under the expectations.

Bill Simmons's excuse for justifying himself didn't apply instantly. Moreover, he has no other excuses to find.

As Link said in an interview at the Toyota Center yesterday, "You have nowhere to run, bastard!"

Simmons is still thinking of a way, he believes there must be a way. But silently, Simmons has also ordered a few women's suits...

Well, be prepared for it.

Link is about to participate in the dunk contest, which makes all fans very excited.

Fans who like Link are eager to see Link's explosive performance in the dunk contest. And fans who hate Link, this has the opportunity to witness a superstar roll over in the dunk contest.

Regardless of the crowd, this year's dunk contest is very worth seeing because of Link's participation.

This may be the first time in history that the league just announced a person who participated in the dunk contest, making the dunk contest a high-profile example.

As this matter continued to ferment, a hot topic was also involved.

"In the history of the NBA, there are many players who have participated in the three-point contest and the dunk contest at the same time, but no player has ever won the three-point contest and the dunk contest at the same time. Then one and a half months later, can Link make history again? What?"

Once this topic was brought up, it caused extensive discussion.

In NBA history, there are indeed many people who have participated in both the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest, but they usually only dominate one of the events.

Take Ray Allen, for example, who participated in the three-pointer contest five times in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2011, and won the 2001 three-pointer contest. He gives the impression that he is a three-point shooter and it is understandable to participate in the three-point contest.

But in fact, the first individual challenge that Ray Allen participated in when he was young was the slam dunk contest. However, he was invited to participate in the first round in 1997 and regrettably passed out of the game and never participated again.

Another example is Brent Barry, who created the legend of "White people can fly". In 1996, he took a free throw line and dunked to win the dunk contest, becoming the first person to be able to complete such a difficult action in the dunk contest. White player. In 2003, Barry also reached the final of the three-point contest strongly, very close to winning the double championship. But in the final, Barry regrettably withdrew from the championship with 17 points and regrettably failed to make history.

Link's good brother Paul George has also tried three-point contests and dunk contests in recent years, but he has not achieved any decent results in either event.

The only person in NBA history who can achieve the "first" in two events is the "old gangster" Michael Jordan.

Jordan won the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest for two consecutive years in 1987 and 1988~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He had absolute dominance in the dunk contest, and he created another in the 1990 three-pointer contest. The league’s first" record.

In the three-point contest that year, Jordan scored only 5 points in total, the lowest scoring record in the All-Star three-point contest so far. The two-time slam dunk contest championship and the bottom-to-last record in the three-point contest are all Jordan can do.

This shows that it is not easy to dominate in these two events at the same time. Every athlete has his own expertise, but few athletes are truly proficient in everything.

Link has won a three-point contest before and broke the scoring record in the three-point contest. If Link wins the slam dunk contest again this time, it will really create an impossible record.

Now, fans all over the world are waiting for Link's performance in the dunk contest a month and a half later. Since 2000, the dunk contest has never received such a huge attention.

Before the game started, the dunk contest was saved by Link.
