The rest is just noise

On February 6, 1988, the NBA became more popular than any other sport in the world.

In a single exhibition game that is not even a regular basketball game, this is amazing.

Two interesting individual competitions will be held today, the three-point contest and the dunk contest.

In the three-point contest, the Knicks' Ellis performed abnormally, and Wilson became the background for Bird's classic trash talk.

In the locker room, Bird shouted to everyone: "Which one of you will compete for second place?"

In the finals, Bird didn't even take off his jacket before he took the shot. Before the last buzzer-beater hit, he was already celebrating his championship with his hand symbolizing victory.

Not surprisingly, he hit the ball.

This kind of performance that will be talked about by future generations is just a prelude to the dunk contest.

In this day and age, if you are an adult football fan and someone asks you who is the best player. Someone on the East Coast will say Larry Bird, someone on the West Coast will say Magic, and add that Bird won

Magic has been defeated so many times not because he is stronger, but because he has Sampson and Thomas.

If you ask a child who likes basketball regardless of region, who is the strongest player?

His answer is definitely Michael Jordan.

In order to defend their words and refute those who say that Jordan is not as good as Magic and Bird in driving his teammates, the kids will talk until their voices are hoarse. They will say that Drexler is not as good as Thomas, and Nance is not as good as Sampdoria.

Johnson is useless in front of him. Magic himself is a loser. Even with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilkins, he can't beat the Celtics.

Tonight, people all over the world are watching him take off, watching him stick out his tongue in the air in a perverted way, the eye-catching gold chain is beating around his neck, and his body seems to be flying.

All those who claimed that Bird and Magic were the best basketball players began to doubt themselves from this moment on.

It was just a slam dunk contest, just like the Beatles' 1964 appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" was just a performance. It produced not one but two iconic photos that accelerated sports

The most successful advertising campaign in history marked the NBA entering a new era ruled by a new king.

No matter how many years pass, tonight will never fade. In the memory of this generation, Jordan will always be 24 years old, suspended under the scoreboard of the Chicago Coliseum that no longer exists, frozen in time, flying in the air.

, dunk gracefully.

The atmosphere is settled first and everyone is in place. Then the performance begins.

The slam dunk contest at this time has its own formula, and everyone's ideas are very similar.

For example, in the first button, there are a large number of backhand buttons and backhand folding buttons.

How many tricks can be played on this depends on the players themselves.

The Cavaliers' Greg Anderson (GregAndeonCPF) performed a weak two-handed backhand dunk that was unnerving.

That's it?

An old friend of Knicks fans, Spot Weber was once the champion of this event, but now, the protagonist is obviously not him.

It is indeed gratifying for a little guy to challenge a genius, but this time he faced the best dunker in history.

Weber used a dunk to get the audience to applaud him.

After learning that Jordan and Dominic were competing, they still decided to sign up. This courage alone is worthy of applause.

Jordan made the whole audience excited with an empty side-side sickle dunk that made the whole audience excited.

That's the intensity, that's the different levels.

"MJ made the first two contestants look so embarrassed," Lorraine said.

Louis and his family were watching the game in front of the TV, and even Li Xuanbing was watching.

"Won't the basket break?" Li Xuanbing asked.

No one answered, everyone looked fascinated.

Jordan scored 47 points for this dunk.

Drexler, who follows closely behind, is another focus.

He came up with a flawed gliding windmill chop, which was Wilkins's specialty, but he obviously didn't have the same visual impact as the latter.

This dunk only allowed him to score 44 points, and then he became one of the highlights of the game.

Wilkins came on the court and announced who was the protagonist with a reflexive double fold dunk.

There was no suspense in the preliminaries, and Jordan and Wilkins both entered the finals.

Except for the lack of crotch, Jordan and Wilkins tried all the moves that contemporary dunkers can think of.

The atmosphere at the scene escalated as Jordan dribbled the ball from 93 feet away and dunked from the free throw line.

This is why tonight is so remembered, so many years later, few people will remember that Bird won three consecutive championships in this three-point contest.

Just like Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in the last game of his career, making the Warriors' 73 wins look like nothing more.

Two extremely exciting individual events laid the foundation for the All-Star Game.

But Louis stopped watching after that. He was not interested in the main game. He only knew that Barkley scored 40+ points later, the Eastern Stars won, and the AMVP naturally belonged to the representative of the host country. This is an old rule.

Louis feels that this rule is quite good. It gives face to the owner and makes the fans happy. Anyway, when you compete for historical status in the future, no fans will promote you one place just because you have AMVP.

AMVP is like Rookie of the Year, an honor that looks great but is actually of little use.

As soon as the All-Star Weekend ended, the league also shifted from the early and middle stages of the regular season to the later stages.

Each team still has nearly 13 regular season games to play, but most of them can see their finish line.

Some teams have average records, such as the Bulls and SuperSonics.

Currently, the Bulls are ranked tenth from the bottom in the league, and the SuperSonics are ranked ninth from the bottom.

What you need to know is that since there are two expansion teams coming in this year, the lottery pool has also deepened. Originally there were only seven lottery teams, but now there are nine. In other words, there are nine teams drawn this year.

, but expansion teams are prohibited from drawing the top five picks.

In other words, if they get the top five picks, they will have to give up this position and switch to the sixth pick.

Only those snobbish bosses could think of this method of taking off their pants and farting.

As Louis said, if you don't want to give people too high draft picks, why would you let them participate in the lottery if you just default to them being the eighth and ninth picks?

But Louis has no control over this matter, and he doesn't bother to do it. Now he can only cheer for the Bulls and SuperSonics.

Because the first-round picks of the Sonics and Bulls this year (both with top-three protection) are in the hands of the Knicks. Louis doesn’t expect another big gift package like the Cavaliers, well, picks 6-9

Both are acceptable, otherwise 10-15 picks would be fine.

Who doesn't know that the 13th and 15th picks are magical positions.

The chapters of "The Remaining, Only Noise" will continue to be updated.
