The Rest, Only Noise
Chapter 186: Unremarkable dunk contest
Before the start of the 1984 All-Star Game, the McNichols Sports Arena was on fire for another event.
The first slam dunk contest in NBA history is also the one with the largest number of participants.
Although it took Stern several weeks to convince O'Brien to hold a slam dunk contest, they did a lot of homework on the candidates.
Dr. J, who wrote the last glow of the ABA with a legendary free-throw line dunk in 1976, Larry Nance, who is known for his explosive body, and two Lakers, Dominic Weir. Kings and Michael Cooper, Clyde Drexler of the Blazers, Edgar Jones of the Spurs (PFC), Orlando Ulrich of the Bulls, and to the confusion of Louie, Ralph Sampson.
"Is it a mistake? Why is Ralph participating in the slam dunk contest?" Louie asked the people around him.
He knew that Sampson could jump, but compared to Nance, Dr. J, Drexler, and others, it was nothing compared to that.
Putting Sampson in the slam dunk contest is like putting Yao Hu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian in the CBA's slam dunk contest (ironically, they all participated).
No matter how good the physical fitness of the big man is, participating in a performance competition such as the slam dunk contest is naturally affected by the figure, which is not conducive to creating the beauty of the dunk and challenging difficult movements.
Under the basket in the backcourt, a bunch of famous players were sitting in their uniforms.
Like Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Tom Heinsohn...don't think they're dressing like this to tell fans "don't forget me", another All-Star Weekend A flower head: Legendary match.
It is to invite some retired NBA legends to play a "your uncle is still your uncle" game for everyone.
As far as the roster is concerned, the roster of the Eastern and Western Legends game, when they play, is the existence of stomping the league tremor.
The East has Oscar Robertson, Pete Maravich, Sam Jones, John Havlicek, Dave Debusschere, Nate Thurmond, Zelmo Beaty C ), Wes Unseld, Bill Sharman, Tom Heinsohn.
West has Rick Barry, Lou Hudson (SGSF), Earl Monroe, Harry Havlicek, steal of the century victim Greer, Bob Pettit, Jerry Way Sterling, the first generation of violent power forward Connie Hawkins (Connie HawkinsPF), 76ers history first championship founder Dolph Schayes (DolphSchayesCPF), Dave Bean.
The arrangement of the schedule reflects the league's inexperience with it.
Or one could still blame O'Brien for never caring about these things.
According to Louie, the championship really shouldn't be called the O'Brien Cup, because this man has not contributed as much to the NBA as he sounds.
Moreover, at several dangerous nodes in NBA history, he made the wrong choice without exception.
Fortunately, at the recent league meeting, all the owners attended, and Stern was elected president of the league by multiple votes.
"LittleLu, come to us!" Heinsohn shouted.
Louie wanted to go, but couldn't. He was the assistant coach of the Eastern Legends.
If you were to ask who the head coach of the Eastern Legends was, look at the names and no one but Reed Auerbach would qualify.
That's right, Auerbach came too.
He directly asked the Eastern Conference head coach Louie to attack him.
"That **** doesn't have a shape, don't go." Auerbach scolded.
Then, the live DJ called out the list of participants in the slam dunk contest.
Nine people in total.
When it comes to Larry Nance, Auerbach thinks of the deal Louis negotiated with Phoenix last year.
"Where did he attract you?" Auerbach asked.
"Young, can jump, don't occupy the ball, can play three frontcourt positions, and is perfectly compatible with Larry, Ralph, and Bill." Louis asked back, "Is this not enough?"
Auerbach smiled and said: "How can you be sure that he will be a substitute when he comes?"
"At least we already knew that Cedric wasn't going to come off the bench," Louie said.
Auerbach asked curiously: "Didn't you already settle the matter?"
"It's settled for now."
Next year is Maxwell's contract year. He can be renewed in advance this summer. At that time, for the sake of a big contract, can he be willing to be a substitute?
No matter how much you sacrifice for the team, there should be a head.
When talking about Wilkins, the Denver people at the scene screamed, whistled, and applauded.
"This kid is a typical 'Laker,'" Auerbach said dismissively. "It's flashy."
When Wilkins dunks in front of Bird in a far more violent way than Dr. J, perhaps Auerbach will change.
Dr. J's name was pronounced last, and he got the applause and cheers he deserved.
"Julius~~~ Owen!"
When it was called out, the gym was boiling.
It can be said that last year's championship made Owen's name right. He is no longer burdened with the shackles of the past. He and Moses Malone are the world's No. 1 and No. 2.
No one dares to believe that they will no longer have the championship, and the stage has quietly come to the hands of the black and white duo.
The first to play was the Spurs' Jones, who came with a mediocre two-handed dunk.
No difficulty, no strength, let Louis score, 7 points are the most.
Nance came on for the second time. He came up wearing trousers. As if to form a dazzling contrast with Jones, he grabbed the ball with one hand and made a swinging backhand dunk along the baseline.
All of them are counter-dunks. Nance is like Kato Taka's golden finger and disturbed the sniping point of the 17,000 spectators at the same time.
After that, there were almost no bright spots. Wilkins' conservative 360-degree double-handed buckle, Griffith's vigorous backhand buckle, and the Bulls' Ulrich came to a double-folded backhand that made Gordon lose the showdown with LaVine Century. buckle. That's why Gordon lost the last dunk, because it was done in 1984.
Drexler also chose the conservative bottom-line one-handed tomahawk dunk, and Michael Cooper brought Dr. J's famous regular-season windmill to the All-Star Game.
Sampson embarrassed Louie. This guy came with a guy that Louie didn't know how to describe. He jumped up and flattened the basket before dribbling the ball to the paint area. Then, in order to avoid hitting the basket with his head, he lowered his head and leaned to the side with a one-handed tomahawk.
Fortunately, Dr. J, the last to appear, eased Sampson's embarrassment with a more mediocre dunk that involved taking off in the paint and turning his face back the moment he completed the dunk.
Louis had no idea what that meant.
For the first dunk, except for Nance, there was no amazing action.
But the fans at the scene were still very happy.
The second button, Edgar Jones came again, he was seriously stimulated by Nance, and the second button was real. He took off in two steps from the free-throw line, and in the air, he swapped his left hand for his right and swung a semi-circular windmill along with his "Hooah!" which made the fans at the scene shout out.
Sampson gave the Celtics a little face back. At 7-foot-4, he made a glide dunk with a small step inside the free throw line.
Drexler followed up with a two-handed windmill dunk with a big step inside the free throw line.
Dr. J restored his amazing work in 1976.
This triggered the free-throw-line dunk effect, and Edgar Jones' final dunk was also a free-throw-line dunk on the line.
Not to be outdone, Nance came for a one-handed swinging dunk from within the free throw line.
All sorts of boring free-throw line dunks left Louie feeling bored, and Wilkins ended the rhythm of alternate free-throw line dunks with a signature windmill dunk. After that, Ulrich finally staged a dunk that made Louis feel fresh.
Wrap the ball around your waist before taking off, and switch hands to the backhand after taking off.
Sampson knew he was here to go through the motions, so for the third dunk, he easily turned around 360 degrees and went down.
The last button of the preliminaries, the third button of the Doctor, to be honest, he didn't impress Louie. In terms of creativity, Ulrich's crotch change hands, and in terms of fancy, it can't compare to Nance's fancy swing. , In terms of strength as Wilkins, it can only be said that, because of his reputation, it is impossible for the NBA to let him not enter the finals.
For the third button, he thought about it for more than ten seconds outside the three-point line, and then a back button was folded around the ball around his waist. The bonus point must be that his head hit the backboard.
After the final, there are few bright spots.
The situation was evident from the preliminaries, Dr. Nance VSJ.
However, the doctor is obviously lack of energy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although there are judges to save the field, but a few people with high scores are still abrupt. Nance is not very creative. The coveted champion.
For Louie, the slam dunk contest is not so interesting, because from the future, he has seen too many dunks. If Chen Dengxing is allowed to fall into this era, he can become a myth by dunking alone.
After all, technology is advancing, Louis is not happy, but the contemporary fans are very enjoyable. The slam dunk contest played a beautiful shot and successfully retained the fans in front of the TV.
The signboard of the All-Star Weekend has also started.
