Super Lord of the Rings

Evans' final dunk revealed his playful nature.

The little actor Kevin Hart came out again to make his presence felt. He pretended to be a postman and delivered a Karl Malone jersey to Evans.

Evans pretended to be surprised, as if it was actually Malone who gave him the jersey. But the jersey is a prop prepared by himself, and everyone on earth knows it!

Moreover, Malone has never been a star known for his dunks, and he has never participated in a dunk contest. What is the point of paying tribute to Malone on such an occasion?

Let Hart stand under the basket, and when everything was ready, Evans ran with the ball, successfully jumped over the "postman", touched the back of his head and dunked the ball into the basket.

After he successfully dunked, online fans complained.

What does this mean?

A fringe guy who can't hit the ball is going to get past the Postman?

Moreover, even if he leaps over someone and touches the back of the head, it is not difficult because Hart is only 161cm tall.

The original intention of Malone's dunk action was not to touch the back of his head, but to put his hands behind his ears to listen to applause and cheers, and to show off his biceps.

Evans wanted to pay tribute to Malone, but he didn't understand the meaning of the action at all. He was too thin and had no biceps to show off.

George's third dunk was a sticker turn dunk, which he barely completed after several failures, and there was no beauty in it.

Williams' performance was even worse. He ran out of two minutes and failed to dunk on a crotch switch while playing on the board. The difficulty dropped again and again, and finally completed a two-handed dunk on an alley-oop while playing on the board.

Wang Jun chose the MR720 move for the last dunk. There was no leap, no crotch, just a self-throw and a self- dunk.

The difference is that this dunk leaped very far, throwing the ball from outside the three-point line, taking a step forward from the free throw line to catch the rebound ball, extending his right arm to the maximum, gliding a long distance and dunking the ball into the basket.

His body also tilts greatly, and his movements are particularly beautiful.

ESPN Van Gundy commented: "I think he can compete in the long jump."

McBrin said: "Like last year, all of his dunks were completed in one go, which gave people the impression that he still had some leftover power."

Griffin and Wang Jun won last time.

There is no suspense this time, the opponent lacks competitiveness.

After a while, the selection results came out, and Wang Jun won the dunk king again. If there were judges, his three dunks would probably all be perfect scores. Once again, he brought his sense of rhythm and timing to the extreme.

If you look at him in slow motion, you will find that his bounce is not incredible, and his head is not flat. If his bounce is top-notch, he will challenge the super moves of street ball players.

Wang Jun promised in an interview: "I will continue to participate in the slam dunk contest and challenge some new moves while I am young."

The reporter asked: "Will you still participate in the three-point contest?"

"I have to think about that." The implication is that he likes dunking more than shooting three-pointers.

That night, some trolls trolled Wang Jun on the Internet again, cursing him for getting injured during dunking, and saying that shooting was the most correct thing. Dunking seemed to be treasonous, and shooting after breaking through to the basket did not count.

Trolls will never disappear. It will be interesting to watch them with a calm mind. Wang Jun had no one to share the joy of the competition with, so he could only find fun by reading people's comments online.

On the last day, the star competition, some people said it was like a collective farewell for those born in the 1970s.

The "96 Golden Generation" that once dominated the All-Star starting lineup has now given way to the "03 Platinum Generation."

James, Wade, Anthony, and Wang Jun have all had at least five All-Star starting opportunities. In addition, Howard in 2004, who has occupied the starting qualification for the sixth time, and Paul, the fourth pick in 2005 who has been selected four times, this batch Mesozoic players have become the absolute protagonists of the All-Star Weekend.

Behind them, the new generation of players represented by Durant, the second overall pick in 2007, Rose, the first overall pick in 2008, and Griffin, the first overall pick in 2009, have also secured their seats in the All-Star Game.

It is foreseeable that this group of young people with both strength and popularity will control the All-Star Game roster for a long time in the next few years, until a younger group grows up and seizes the class power.

At the same time, Kobe Bryant, who has been selected to 14 consecutive All-Star Games, and Garnett have become the players with the most All-Star Game selections among active players. According to Kobe's performance and level, as long as he does not suffer particularly serious injuries, this number will continue to grow.

The close contest that Stern hoped to see did not appear. After the game started, Wang Jun, James, Kobe, and Durant performed well and defeated the Eastern Conference starter.

The Eastern Conference is slow to enter the state, or it is not in state at all. Rose and Wade will definitely do nothing good together. Coupled with Howard, who has no shooting range, and Garnett, who has soy sauce, forming an inside line, the Eastern Conference's outside shooting depends entirely on Anthony.

Anthony defended Durant very poorly, allowing the latter to score many easy jumpers.

The second quarter was dominated by the Thunder's two young men, who staged several dunk performances. The two teams made a total of 3 three-pointers in the last 30 seconds of this quarter, including Griffin's buzzer-beating three-pointer. The Western Conference ended the first half with a score of 90 to 67.

The Western Conference set a half-time All-Star record, surpassing the 87 points scored in 1989. Except for Yao Ming, who only played 7 minutes and scored 2 points with no performance, everyone else's shooting percentage was super high.

Paul replaced Rose and the Eastern Conference's offense improved slightly, but the gap is still very obvious.

In the second half, the Western Conference started to let loose and failed to defend well. The Eastern players played a wave to catch up with the score.

Wang Jun has long been pessimistic about defense in the All-Star Game, and he has mastered the essence of performance. When someone wants to break through, he will not use his legs to block the position like he does in normal games.

The Eastern Conference strengthened its defense. The players did not want the Western Conference to score a record-breaking score in this game, and the atmosphere became tense.

There was no smile on Paul's face, and Wade was serious.

With 8 minutes and 48 seconds left in the third quarter, Kobe turned around and passed Wade. Wade followed up from behind, threw himself at Kobe with both hands, and made his nose bleed.

Kobe made two free throws and his personal score reached 18 points. His total score in the All-Star Game was 262 points, tying Michael Jordan's All-Star record. In the final quarter, Wang Jun scored two three-pointers in a row, assisted Griffin for an alley-oop dunk, and assisted James for an air-cut layup. The point difference widened again.

In the last 4 minutes, the West still led by 25 points, and the game entered garbage time.

Kobe successfully set an All-Star personal scoring record, scoring 27 points, surpassing Jordan.

The West won 164-143.

After the game, people learned that Kobe's nose was broken by Wade. He still insisted on playing in the fourth quarter and was very dedicated. Unfortunately, the data was slightly inferior and he failed to win the MVP in the end.

Durant scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists and was elected the 2012 All-Star MVP. This is the first MVP trophy in Durant's career, so he is very excited.

As a player who entered the league in 2007, Durant has not played for a long time, but he has already been selected to the All-Star team twice. In the previous two All-Star Games, his performance was quite satisfactory. It should be said that it is not easy for him to beat Kobe, Wang Jun and others this time.

After the game, Durant accepted an interview very humbly. "Of course it's exciting to be named an All-Star, but if you can win the All-Star MVP, then of course it's a step further. It's like a dream come true."

The reporter asked: "The Thunder currently have the best record. Do you think you will win the regular season MVP?"

"I'm not thinking about it, I just hope I can win in the playoffs."
