Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Compared with the NBA slam dunk contest that followed, the 1984 slam dunk contest was quite crude in all aspects.

First of all, the process of the game is very tight. Players are not given too many opportunities to try dunks, and they have to pass at one time.

Secondly, there is no gimmick. Under the arrangement of the staff, the players lined up to dunk one by one.

There is not much ostentation in building a good reputation.

There was only one scene in the slam dunk contest that year, and it was about to happen to Julius Li Liang.

The contestants in the slam dunk contest are still star-studded, Michael Cooper of the Lakers, Larry Nance of the Suns, Darrell Griffith of the Jazz, Edgar Jones of the Spurs, Ralph of the Rockets Sampson, Orlando Woolrich of the Bulls, Drexler of the Trail Blazers, Wilkins of the Eagles, and Irving.

Of course, Michael Jordan has not yet entered the league this year, and the new trapeze will not shine until next year.

The rules are simple, each person deducts three times, 50 points are scored, and the top four enter the next round.

Then the top four will go to the semi-finals, each with three chances, and the top two will enter the final.

In the end, the two finalists will face off three times to decide the champion.

In addition to looking good in this game, it is also very important to be able to score and accurately.

In history, Irving lost the championship because he didn't dunk.

The reason why Larry Nance won the championship is because he played very steadily and made no mistakes.

Li Liang warmed up on the sidelines, got used to his new body, and bounced. The bounce was really good.

Although Irving is 34 years old, his body is still well maintained.

You know, until Irving was 42 years old, he could still dunk Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with one arm in a charity heads-up match-Jabbar was 45 years old at the time.

In the first round, Li Liang completed three dunks in a satisfactory manner, ensuring that he dunked every time.

Irving's hands are really huge, which allows him to stretch his body as much as possible when dunking without worrying about the ball falling.

Coupled with Owen's popularity, he easily passed the first round and entered the semifinals.

While Samps, Drexler and others were eliminated, Wilkins, Griffith, Nance and Irving were promoted.

There was a little episode in the semifinals.

Wilkins's first two dunks were beautiful, but the third, a reverse dunk that slid into the basket from the baseline, only scored 33 points.

The audience at the scene booed, and finally the referee changed the judgment and gave Wilkins 41 points.

However, 41 points did not allow Wilkins to enter the final, and Nance and Irving performed even better.

Li Liang didn't make any tricks in the semi-finals. He used the dunk plan that Irving remembered, the self-throwing and self-dunk reverse dunk, and the reverse dunk that slid over the basket with one hand and two hands, which also ensured that Irving entered the final. Not surprisingly, it was Larry Nance.

Nance's performance is very stable, and every dunk is completed beautifully, so the total score is higher than that of Irving.

Therefore, Julius Li Liang took the lead.

At this time, Li Liang knew that he needed to come up with something different.

The first shot was relatively simple. Li Liang rushed towards the basket with the ball, then jumped two steps away from the free throw line, then raised the ball with one hand, made a 360-degree turn in the air, and then passed the ball Dunk into the basket!

This is Stansberry's "Statue of Liberty Spin" dunk in the 1986 Slam Dunk Contest.

And this kind of action allows Owen to complete, more stretched, and more lingering.

Irving got a full score for this ball, 50 points!

Because of this mid-air swivel dunk action, very few people used it before.

Very fresh for all.

Freshness is very important in the dunk contest.

The entire arena was ignited at once, and the slam dunk contest entered a climax.

If Irving alone contributes a wonderful performance, it will definitely not be enough.

Nance immediately also dedicated a classic move. He cut and jumped from the baseline, and swung the buckle in reverse with one arm!

This dunk is similar to his first dunk in the game, with a little more turning in the air, making it a little more difficult.

This ball scored a high score of 48 points, and the game was full of suspense all of a sudden.

Next came the fatal second dunk, and Li Liang decided to play some new tricks.

He saw Bill Russell who was sitting on the sidelines as the guest host—the old Bill was not a coach or a manager, and he came to the NBA to partner with Rick Barry to host the guest.

Have to say, this was a mistake.

Both of them have bad tempers, and Barry is still a bad mouthed king.

Together, they are really stones dropped into the cesspit, smelly and hard.

But Li Liang didn't care. He whispered something to Russell. Russell looked at Li Liang and replied, "Okay, I'll satisfy you."

Li Liang knew that he could raise conditions with the NPC during the mission.

Maybe Russell in history would never agree, but he can in the mission.

The curiosity of the audience was aroused. They saw Russell standing up from the sidelines, holding a stool in his hand.

He carried the stool under the basket and sat down with his back to the basket.

The fans at the scene were full of curiosity, even the referee, the host, and the host were whispering, what is this for?

Li Liang walked up to Russell and handed the ball to Russell.

"I'll rush over later, don't be afraid, just throw the ball up, it won't hit you."

Li Liang is going to complete a slam dunk that flies over Russell!

Although Russell is sitting, the difficulty is not particularly high, but this is the first slam dunk contest.

Everyone didn't expect that a tool man could enter the arena. The key is that the tool man is the mountainous Russell.

The on-site commentator Dick Stockton realized something and said: "It seems that Julius Erving is going to fly over the Grand Canyon of Colorado!"

Denver is in Colorado, and the most famous scenery here is the Grand Canyon.

Li Liang had already stood near the middle circle, ready to start sprinting towards the basket.

Russell is quite nervous, what if he is about to be killed?

What can be done? The system restarts.

Li Liang started to speed up and run, he was very confident in himself—no, in Owen's jumping.

take off!

In fact, the jumping distance was not far away. Russell threw the ball into the air at the right time. Li Liang caught the ball with one hand in the air, his legs were slightly bent, and it happened to pass over Russell's head. Dunk into the basket!

There was joy at the scene!

Irving is wearing a red 76ers jersey tonight, and Denver's home colors are also red.

This is only the second deduction, and Li Liang scored another 50 points.

No problem, Li Liang has made up his mind on this key point.

The pressure has come to Larry Nance, who has become a complete supporting player, and he knows it will be difficult to surpass Irving.

Because Owen still has a big move that he held back at the end.

Nance pulls off a simple hard dunk with little reaction from the scene.

It's nothing special, and the score is only 33 points.

Now, everyone is just looking forward to Irving's last dunk - a dunk from the free throw line of the pass!

This is Irving's repertoire in the ABA period, representing the limit of basketball's horizontal take-off and dunk.

In the 1970s and 1980s when basketball entertainment was not well developed, television broadcasting was not yet popular, and video technology was even more backward.

Many people have only heard about dunks at the free throw line but never seen them with their own eyes.

When Li Liang walked onto the field and started to walk from the free throw line to the opposite side, measuring the distance and steps, applause and cheers in the arena had already sounded.

Li Liang still felt a little apprehensive in his heart, fearing that this action could not be done well.

But when I think about it, Irving has done this action countless times in history, and he also succeeded in the dunk contest, so what's wrong with it?

Li Liang's other characteristics are hard to say, but his self-confidence is really historical.

Perhaps, it was this kind of self-confidence that made him come all the way to today.

Li Liang started the sprint, and he accelerated like a fighter jet.

The most difficult part of taking off and dunking from the free throw line is not the distance, but the pace.

How to take off at the fastest speed just at the place where you step on the free throw line.

Once the pace is wrong, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Li Liang felt the wind whistling in his ears, and he didn't know if it was a hallucination or the feeling brought by the cheers.

The steps are very accurate, just on the free throw line, and take off with one foot!

Owen's jumping ability is amazing, and Li Liang feels like he is really flying.

This feeling is really good.

While falling, he stretched his arms and dunked the ball into the hoop!

The arena was boiling instantly, and for the fans at the scene, this was a great slam dunk!

The cheers were much, much louder than the ones at Barclays Center tonight.

Here, Li Liang felt the purest passion for basketball, as blazing as a flame.

50 points, undisputed 50 points.

Li Liang-Owen waved to the audience.

Regardless of whether he ever won the slam dunk contest key, Irving is a generation of trapeze.

And from this year onwards, a new trapeze will come.
