After LaVine returned to his position, Wang Zelin began to stand up. Accompanied by the cheers like a tsunami in Portland, Wang Zelin moved his ankle. It was time to draw a successful conclusion to this slam dunk contest.
After Wang Zelin came on the field, he signaled the fans to cheer a little more. People all over the world were going crazy. Isn't this cheering warm enough?
When he came to the court, he saw Wang Zelin pulling Lillard to his side. The two communicated for a while and then separated.
Then, Lillard was seen holding the ball and standing outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, while Wang Zelin entered the player tunnel.
What are they doing?
Is Wang Zelin planning to retire early?
The fans at the scene stared with big eyes and black question marks on their faces.
At this moment, Wang Zelin's figure appeared on the big screen. He took the microphone from the host beside him, touched his chin, and said in a seemingly joking tone:
"Everyone must be tired of watching dunks from the free throw line, so today, let me end it all with a dunk from the three-point line. What do you think?"
At the judges' table, Jordan, Dr. J, Kobe and others "..."
At the commentary table, Zhang Lili, Yu Jia and others: "..."
LaVine and the surrounding fans: "..."
Everyone was shocked. He took off from the three-point line and dunked! ?
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Whether in the NBA or European basketball, whether professional or amateur, no one has ever successfully dunked from the three-point line.
Courtside.
A three-point line dunk? !
If it were someone else who said this, even Raven would not believe it, but it was Wang Zelin who said this. What Wang Zelin said really shouldn't be taken as a joke, even if he himself seemed to be joking.
Raven's little heart began to beat violently. The first thought that flashed through his mind was not that it was impossible for Wang Zelin to achieve it, but what would happen if Wang Zelin really did it?
Not surprisingly, if it is really done, then Wang Zelin will become one of the most classic moments in NBA history, and his name will always be recorded in the history of basketball, even if decades have passed. Even if it goes on for hundreds of years, it will not be forgotten by people.
This will be something so awesome that it will reach the sky, and it will also be something that is almost impossible to do!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is definitely impossible. The distance between the three-point line and the basket is 7.25 meters. The three-point line in the NBA is nearly one meter farther than the distance in the International Basketball League.
Even the international long jump world record is only 8.95 meters, and this record has been held for 26 years!
Even though Wang Zelin has the jumping ability of a professional long jumper, the height of the basket is still 3.05 meters. After crossing the distance of 7.25 meters, if he wants to dunk, he must maintain the height of his body to a height of 3.05 meters.
too difficult! This is simply not something humans can do!
Just when everyone thought Wang Zelin was joking, only Lillard, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, knew that Wang Zelin was not joking.
Moreover, the two actually tried to take off and dunk from the three-point line in private... Ahem, Wang Zelin was responsible for taking off, and Lillard was responsible for delivering the cannonballs.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the distance between the NBA three-point line and the basket.
The 7.25 meters that flashed through LaVine's mind just now is actually the distance between the arc area of the NBA three-point line and the basket. This section is the farthest.
In order to achieve a dunk from the three-point line from the arc area, after repeated attempts by Lillard and Wang Zelin, it was finally confirmed that this is indeed an insurmountable limit of the human body.
However, because the NBA's three-point line is an arc with a radius of 7.25 meters connected by two line segments on both sides and parallel to the sideline, it is not a regular semicircle as most people imagine.
This irregularity causes each point of the three-point line to be at different distances from the basket.
In the linear area of the NBA three-point line, that is, the bottom corners on both sides, the closest distance between these two points to the basket is "only" 6.70 meters.
It is 5 centimeters different from the 6.75 meters stipulated by FIBA and 55 centimeters shorter than other three-point lines in the NBA.
It is this half-meter gap that gives Wang Zelin the possibility to challenge the limit.
Wang Zelin first tried holding the ball to dunk, but found that no matter how much he adjusted his posture, he couldn't do it.
Until he changed his mind and chose to let Lillard cooperate with him in playing alley-oops... It was this change that allowed Wang Zelin to successfully dunk from the three-point line!
Now when I think back to the scene when I successfully dunked, it is still very exciting.
But this action is still too difficult. When Wang Zelin and Lillard tried it in private before, they could only succeed once in ten times. It depends on Wang Zelin's own condition.
Therefore, Wang Zelin decided to put this move at the bottom of the box.
Tonight, he faced strong enemies from all walks of life. Under the influence of this environment, Wang Zelin's potential was stimulated to the extreme. He realized that he was in excellent condition and passionate, so he made a prompt decision and decided to use his trump card.
As Wang Zelin returned the microphone to the host on the side, he bent slightly and looked straight ahead.
"Cauldron, are you serious!"
Wang Zelin's attitude didn't look like a joke. Countless fans in front of the TV held their breath at this moment.
The superstars watching in the front row of the audience were even more fascinated.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Zelin completely relaxed all the muscles in his body. However, this relaxation only lasted for a second. Then almost all the muscles in Wang Zelin's body became tense. At the same time, Wang Zelin's whole body was like a ball. Like a bullet coming out of the barrel, it spurted out instantly.
"So fast!"
This was the first thought in everyone's mind.
Wang Zelin, who does not need to control the ball, is as fast as many first positions known for their speed in terms of pure sprint speed, and is much faster than more than 90% of active players in the NBA.
The mobile camera, which was not ready at the moment, couldn't even keep up with Wang Zelin's speed.
Also unable to keep up were the eyes of most fans. Many people just felt their eyes suddenly blur, and then they saw Wang Zelin rushing out of the player tunnel and reaching the three-point line in the right corner.
"Is it coming?"
When LaVine saw this, his heart tightened and he stared at Wang Zelin with all his attention. Gordon, Wiggins, Nance Jr., and Robinson III standing beside him also widened their eyes, not wanting to miss it for a second.
Then under everyone's comments, Wang Zelin stepped on the three-point line in the bottom corner with his right foot, and with a sudden movement, his whole body took off.
At that moment, Raven felt as if he saw a rocket thruster installed on Wang Zelin's back, and he flew up with a swipe.
At the same time, the moment Wang Zelin rushed out, Lillard saw the right moment and threw the ball into the air just like he had practiced in private.
Wang Zelin's take-off speed was very fast, and his bounce height was also very exaggerated. Just like a professional long jumper, everyone could see him draw a long parabola in the air, like a cannonball falling vertically.
"Snapped!"
When it reached the highest point and was about to fall, Lillard's pass arrived. At this time, Wang Zelin subconsciously stretched out his left hand and grabbed the ball firmly with a big hand like a suction cup.
It sounds very slow, but in fact the series of movements is very fast. Wang Zelin quickly glided and flew over a distance of about six meters, and his body had fallen a lot from the original height.
At this time, Wang Zelin made a forward leaning movement in the air. He moved forward while holding the ball with his left hand and pushing the ball toward the basket.
Although Wang Zelin's mobile phone basket only had half a hand more, due to his proper movements and height, he heard a bang and the basketball was dunked into the basket.
For a moment, the entire arena fell into a brief silence.
During the finals, several dunks by Wiggins, Wang Zelin and LaVine aroused cheers from many fans, but after this dunk, the entire audience fell into silence.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to cheer or applaud, but at this moment, everyone’s brains have been stunned by the scene they saw in front of them!
"Michael! What did I just see?" Wilkins stared at the performance in stunned silence before pushing Jordan next to him and couldn't help but confirm again: "Then, where did that guy jump from just now? "
"Um..." Jordan closed his wide-open mouth, and after hesitating for a long time, he said somewhat unconfidently: "It should be the three-point line, right?"
"Three-point line? Are you sure?"
Wilkins' jaw dropped to the ground.
"Yes, you heard it right, that guy took off from the three-point line and completed the dunk!"
Gang Leader Qiao is Gang Leader Qiao after all. After coming back to his senses, he answered with great certainty.
The next second, the host's voice brought everyone back from their lost state.
"Success! Wang Zelin actually took off and dunked successfully from outside the three-point line! It was... an unprecedented one!"
The host was extremely excited. It was an honor for him to host such a shocking moment.
horrible!
The best dunk in the history of the dunk contest!
The best dunk in the history of basketball!
A button that transcends human limits and human imagination!
"King, how on earth did you accomplish this incredible action?"
"I now declare that the most valuable slam dunk contest in history is well deserved!"
"Did you see it? This represents the true limit of dunking! This is the human limit that even the sky cannot limit!"
"Even Vince Carter and Zach LaVine stepped aside. This is the real god of dunks! This is the real number one dunker in history!"
In front of the TV, everyone was stunned, fascinated, and drunk, and they all expressed their sincere emotions at Wang Zelindi's dunk.
Portland.
Rose Garden Arena.
"Wang Zelin is so perverted!"
Seeing the slow-motion replay, the fans in the audience and even the viewers watching the Tron Competition around the world were all shocked. Wang Zelin's dunk was not very beautiful, even though his body proportions were excellent and his muscles were extremely good. A long-footed man is perfect, but he cannot be as elegant and unrestrained as an outside player.
But there is one thing that no one can ignore, that is, the distance of Wang Zelin's dunk is really too far!
The distance from the free throw line to the basket is already very far. After all, ordinary people have to take at least two big steps to reach the distance from the free throw line.
But Wang Zelin's dunk can almost be confirmed as a dunk from the three-point line, which is simply not on the same level as the free throw line.
Although there is some trickery involved in Wang Zelin's moment, and it cannot be called a three-point line jump in a broad sense, but if calculated carefully, it is enough to reach 3/4 of the distance from the three-point line, which is much further than the free throw line. too much!
What's more, even if the three-point line in the corner is shorter than other positions, it is still the standard three-point line in the NBA basketball system rules!
After the replay of the footage was completed, everyone seemed to have completely reacted, and everyone was excited.
In an instant, the entire Rose Garden Arena seemed to have turned into a market, with all kinds of sounds coming and going.
"Oh my God! This is impossible!"
"Damn it! Wang Zelin is completely inappropriate!"
"God, does this Chinese man have a pair of wings?"
"Wang Zelin proved from the free throw line that yellow people can fly, but... I never expected that he could fly so far."
"This is not something that humans can do at all! Wang Zelin must be an alien, no, he is Superman, the real Superman!"
At the same time, opponents LaVine, Gordon, Wiggins and others also rushed into the court and hugged Wang Zelin tightly.
At this moment, everyone no longer cares about competition, and even LaVine has left the shooting contest championship behind.
Now, they only know one thing in their minds: in Wang Zelin, they see the limit of dunking, and even the limits of human beings!
"Gift Crab! Brother, you actually did it! You are so awesome!" Gordon's face was not as disappointed as before, and he was so excited that he could not speak coherently.
Although he was not the one who completed the dunk, as an opponent who can compete with Wang Zelin on the same stage tonight, this is also his moment of glory.
Wang Zelin's incredible dunk will always be remembered in the history of basketball development, and it will also be recorded by all the opponents who competed with him tonight.
Red flowers also need to be lined with green leaves, this is the truth.
LaVine, who rushed in with Gordon, seemed much calmer than Gordon. Even so, he was quite excited, "Congratulations, King, you have created a history that belongs to you, you know? Oh my God, A dunk from the three-point line, God, how on earth did you do that?"
Several other opponents also looked at non-human beings.
Facing the excited expressions of his teammates around him, Wang Zelin just smiled. Is it difficult for a cheating person to achieve something?
Since everyone agrees that taking off and dunking from the three-point line is a restricted area that is insurmountable for humans and a limit that can never be harvested, then... he decided not to be a human being anymore!
Chatting and laughing with LaVine and the others, they returned to the sidelines. Dayao, Sun Yang, Zou Shiming, Jay Chou, Jet Li, Cheng Long and other domestic sports and entertainment stars in the front row all rushed into the court excitedly. , hugged Wang Zelin tightly.
Even Jordan and the other five judges had all left the judges' bench, waving 10-point signs, and rushed over to watch the protagonist who completed this incredible dunk up close.
This is the first time in the history of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest!
It seems that there were too many firsts in this slam dunk contest.
But there is no doubt that if there is one best slam dunk contest in NBA history, it must be the 2017 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.
At the same time, Wang Zelin also became the first yellow man to win the slam dunk contest!
From two dunks in the first round to three dunks in the finals, his five perfect dunks completely detonated the Portland scene.
Many years later, this slam dunk contest will still be mentioned often, because Wang Zelin has become an insurmountable monument in the history of the dunk contest.
