Chapter 365 The Boring Dunk Contest
Bruce and Wilkens sat in the stands smiling, watching the performance on the court, and they both felt a little emotional about the previous deal with the Trail Blazers!
"The Blazers have so many problems now that they don't even have to consider whether Ocella (Hunnington) will make them look crowded at the power forward position!" Bruce thought of a series of problems that broke out in the Blazers. Can't help but say with some emotion.
"Hehe, if you were Paul (Allen), how would you sort out the team?" Wilkens asked thoughtfully.
Hearing Wilkens' words suddenly, Bruce couldn't help thinking about it secretly!
On the court, after the final three-point contest, as both Stojakovic and Persson scored 19 points, the two scored [-] points, and the two tied!
"I will do everything possible, even if I lose money, I will trade these guys out of the team!" Bruce said very seriously.
As he said, Paul Allen and Whitchett know more about the team than anyone else. However, the first thing they think of is not to quickly find a way to trade these problem players, but to continue to trust this team. A group of players who once brought them short-term glory!
Since the beginning of this season, the stars of the Trail Blazers have suddenly shown signs of slipping, especially Scottie Pippen, who was once the absolute hero of the Bulls.
Since joining the Trail Blazers, even in the previous few seasons, he has played exciting data and led the team, but with his injuries, his position in the team, whether it is on the court , or in the locker room, it all seemed a bit embarrassing!
"Scottie may be bought out by the Blazers!" Bruce continued calmly.
"Scottie?" Wilkens said regretfully, and then his expression changed: "The next impact on the playoff ranking will have a great impact on our goals for this year!"
"This season, not only did the Kings continue to perform impressively, but even the Mavericks played exciting games under Downey's guidance!" Wilkens said with some seriousness. With Carter's injury, he had no choice but to Don't analyze your opponent!
"That's right, Downey is a great coach!" Thinking of the astonishing "mad scientist" in his previous life, Bruce suddenly had a flash of admiration!
"Now, it is possible that Vince will bid farewell to this season ahead of schedule. Coupled with Hakeem's injury, their departure has brought us great troubles. It's just that the tactical change is a bit unprepared!" Wilken Si took a sip of the beer in his hand in a depressed mood, looking extremely depressed about the absence of the two.
Bruce looked at Wilkens and patted him on the shoulder: "You know, injuries are also a part of the NBA. We have no way to know their injuries in advance, and all we can do is try our best to deal with them." Help them heal!"
On the court, after a short break for some programs, Stojakovic and Persson stepped onto the court again amidst the cheers of the audience!
Because the two were tied before, after communicating on the technical stage, they will get the last 24 seconds of shooting duel, no matter which side, if he can get the same score as the opponent in the only time, then he will Become the champion of this year's three-point contest.
Amidst the cheers and encouragement of the fans, Stoja Korci took a deep breath. He looked at the bright red "24" on the timing card and couldn't help but have a strong desire for this championship!
"drop!!"
As the flute sounded on the court, Stojakovic quickly picked up the basketball at hand with a focused expression, and started his championship road again and again!
"Shua, Shua!~"
Under the shots of Stojakovic, the basketballs, like elves with strong desires, got into the basket one by one.
When the final 24-second timing was over, Stojakovic excitedly scored all the points of the two carts!
Standing off the court, Persson suddenly felt great pressure. Judging from the cheers of the fans, he was obviously surrounded by all the pressure!
Bruce looked at Stojakovic, who seemed a little calm on the court, and couldn't help applauding his indifference and psychological quality!
Afterwards, when Persson regrettably missed the last ball, the fans burst into cheers!
"If Peja can strengthen his defense, he will be an exciting guy!" Wilkens said with great certainty.
"Defensive?" Bruce looked at Stern, who was heading towards the field, with a smile, and said meaningfully: "If you strengthen your defense, he won't be that good pitcher!"
Afterwards, Stojakovic excitedly raised it for the first time under the trophy presented by Stern.
"Well, it seems that we have to take a break again!" Bruce stretched, and said a little bored.
According to the process, after the three-point contest decides the champion, the finale of the first day of the annual All-Star Game begins, the slam dunk contest begins!
This year's competition, because of the departure of the top strongman, seems a little less exciting!
Among the four players who signed up, except for Francis, who can still be expected, even last year's champion Desmond Mason may not be favored!
The other two players who were selected for this final made people feel a little lonely in this event!
After Jason Richardson won the MVP of the rookie game, his dunks caught the eyes of all fans, especially the last 360-degree dunk in the rookie game, which was extremely impressive!
And another player is precisely Gerald Wallace of the Warriors.
This season, with his good physical fitness, Wallace used some explosive dunks, which made him have some absolute fans in the league.
And this time participating in the slam dunk contest, Wallace has a great desire to prove himself!
Because of the Warriors' competition at the small forward position, with Bowen firmly guarding the starting lineup, his biggest competitor has become Kirilenko.
In the first half of this season, because of the difficulty of adapting to life in the United States, Wallace gained some time at the small forward position. However, as Kirilenko gradually played an impressive performance, Wilkens Under his evaluation, he gradually has the strength to attack Bowen's starting lineup!
And this time for the All-Star Game, when Gerald Wallace chose to sign up, he made preparations early. He had to use his performance to tell Wilkens, "Hey, coach, you saw me. Have the impact and ability?"
The rules of this year's slam dunk contest have undergone major changes. The preliminaries are divided into self-selected actions, cooperation with teammates, and prescribed actions drawn by lots, that is, imitating "Dr. The dunk actions of legendary superstars such as Wilkens, the two rounds of the finals imitated the prescribed actions and optional actions of superstars.
This rule change has made these participating players feel tremendous pressure and uncertainty!
If they follow the previous rules, they will be able to practice their performances more freely. However, with the emergence of such regulations, they will spend a lot of time on those superstar moves.
"This year's slam dunk contest will probably be ruined by David (Stern)!" Bruce said playfully, he is very clear about the final situation of this year's Richardson conferment!
"God, why don't I feel any expectation at all?" Wilkens yawned exaggeratedly, as if he was about to fall asleep!
"Haha, it seems that we don't need to stay anymore!" Bruce stood up as he said, and glanced at Gerald Wallace who was sitting on the sidelines. After the latter seemed to feel that someone was watching, Bruce smiled. Throw a punch at him with Wilkens!
"Let's go, I hope Gerrard won't be obsessed with the final result of this game, you should give him some time!" Bruce nodded to Wallace with a smile, and then said to Wilkens as he walked.
"Yeah, Vince's injury is really a problem!" While standing up, Wilkens drank the beer in his hand, and under Gerald Wallace's somewhat regretful gaze, he suddenly asked He gave a thumbs up!
"Huh!!" After seeing Wilkens' thumbs up, Gerald Wallace suddenly relaxed.
Before, Gerald Wallace seemed extremely disappointed because he saw the actions of the two of Bruce, but in the end Wilkens' actions suddenly excited him. He was already a little bit emotional about whether he would win the championship in the future. Not so fancy and depressing!
With the departure of the two of Bruce, this year's dunk contest has also started one after another!
The first player to play was Desmond Mason of the Sonics. After winning the title of the last championship, even though Mason had less influence than Francis in this session, he was still affected by some Fans welcome!
Before walking onto the court, Mason clapped hands with the rest of the players one by one, and then walked towards the court confidently!
The first action is the optional action. According to previous media reports, Mason's optional action will give everyone present a refreshing feeling!
However, when he slapped the basketball and rushed towards the hoop with full momentum from outside the three-point line on the left, the subsequent dunk after a big loop in front of him finally caused a commotion in the court. Cries of disappointment!
Even though his slam dunk looks powerful, if you want to talk about creativity, the reaction of all the fans can see that it can only be hehe!
The next player to play was Jason Richardson, who had won the MVP of the rookie game before. His actions gave people a sense of anticipation, which was obviously stronger than Mason's actions before!
Regardless of whether the MVP of the rookie game is full of gold, but from Richardson's previous dunks, everyone is full of expectations for Mason's performance after the disappointment brought by Mason!
However, Richardson's action did surprise the fans!
I saw that when he came outside the three-point line, he interacted with the fans a little bit, and then he quickly ran to the basket.
When he rushed into the penalty area like a bull, with the next step, his whole body suddenly flew into the air. After completing a slightly messy 360-degree turn, the right arm holding the ball suddenly dunked towards the basket The position of the basket!
"Wow!!"
After the disappointment brought by Mason before, even though Richardson's dunks seemed a little lacking in creativity, his height and explosive performance made the arena finally burst into cheers!
Afterwards, as Francis unfortunately ended his action with a very ordinary dunk, all the fans in the audience booed for a while!
Afterwards, whether it was Francis, who was favored by others, or Richardson and Gerald Wallace, after they were restrained by regulations, all of them showed ordinary movements!
Finally, when Richardson and Gerald Wallace both advanced to the final, the fans left the field early in a shocking situation on the opening stage!
The next day, just like the expressions of Bruce and Wilkens when they left, all the media rated this slam dunk contest as the most boring event!
