Zhao Feiyang and Zach LaVine both entered the finals, which many fans did not expect. Especially for Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, they had speculated on many outcomes, but they never expected that Zhao Feiyang could really reach the finals of the slam dunk contest.
"I'm not surprised that LaVine can enter. This guy was the slam dunk contest champion last season, but Zhao Feiyang can enter. I really don't believe it..."
"Zhao Feiyang has changed so much! When he first entered the NBA, I thought he could only hang out for one or two seasons before being waived. Later, when he made some achievements, I thought he could only hang around for a few more seasons and make some money. Just retire..."
"As a result, this guy is getting better and better now. Not only has his scoring data set a record for a Chinese player in the NBA, but he has also become the leader of the Timberwolves... Although a team like the Timberwolves seems to be nothing special, but at least that It’s an NBA team! In today’s world, it can kill everyone..."
"Not to mention other things, when his substitute players come to our CBA, they can play their own role... And the record of the Timberwolves he leads is getting better and better. Just before that, they played a tiebreaker with the Golden State Warriors. It is enough to show that the Timberwolves really have a certain strength..."
"Now that Zhao Feiyang has shown his ability to dunk again, I really wonder if he is a 30-year-old player. How come his every move is similar to that of the opponent when he was 20 years old... If it continues to develop in this state, it will really I wonder what Zhao Feiyang will look like in a few years..."
"Don't set a record of winning the regular season MVP at the age of 40. Then I guess we are not crazy yet, and those people in the NBA will go crazy..."
Fans on the Chinese Internet are talking a lot.
At the Air Canada Center Arena, the two sides were already preparing for the final battle.
Both LaVine and Zhao Feiyang are planning what kind of dunk action they should use at the last moment!
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Site ready.
LaVine took the lead.
Amidst the cheers at the scene, LaVine walked up and waved to the fans. He picked up the basketball and walked outside the three-point line, this time to the distance near the midline to prepare for a run.
"What is he going to do?"
"Are you planning to continue shooting from the free throw line?"
"No, why would he try it again? Are there other tricks?"
Fans on the sidelines started talking.
On the field.
Without any hesitation, LaVine walked to the distance near the midline, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basket.
He was very fast and was near the free throw line in a blink of an eye. This time LaVine still stepped on the line and took off, but after jumping in mid-air, he took advantage of the situation and made a crotch change of hands in mid-air.
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
The next second, LaVine changed hands and successfully smashed the ball into the basket.
boom.
The ball went in.
The whole audience burst into applause.
The judges couldn't help but exclaimed, especially the expressions on Dwayne Wade and Shaquille O'Neal's faces. They were both shocked by LaVine's performance!
Will Barton, who looked depressed on the sidelines, was not idle either. While shocked by LaVine's dunk, he stood up excitedly and shouted for LaVine.
"Oh! God!"
"Full marks! Such a wonderful dunk must be full marks!"
In a restless atmosphere at the scene, the jury's score for LaVine was finally released.
"50 points!"
Raven was relieved after seeing this result.
Many fans who support him also believe that he will win this time.
"Full marks!"
"Raven must have won! At least he is invincible!"
"I can't think of any other dunk moves that can defeat LaVine? At least Zhao definitely can't do it..."
The pressure came to Zhao Feiyang again.
He didn't rush up and start dunking, but stood there and thought about it.
If you choose other actions, you will most likely lose by a small margin. He believed in LaVine's strength, but he didn't believe in the fairness of the judges.
Moreover, for the NBA, it is not in line with their "rightness" to win a Chinese dunk contest champion.
Judging from the continuous suppression of Asians in American society and the creation of various stereotypes, this speculation is not groundless.
Therefore, if you want to get full marks, you must come up with moves that can shock the fans and even the jury.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feiyang came to the three-point line on the left side of the basket.
With all the fans watching, he called his teammate Adrian who was watching the game from the sidelines.
Adrian was wearing a black suit today and was sitting in the VIP auditorium. When he saw Zhao Feiyang waving, he thought he was not saying hello to him at first. It was not until he confirmed twice that he realized that he was really calling him over again.
"Zhao, what do you need me to do?"
"Adrian, stand here, wait and help me throw the ball to the side of the backboard..."
Zhao Feiyang said a few words briefly.
Adrian quickly understood Zhao Feiyang's intention.
A few seconds later, Zhao Feiyang stood outside the three-point line in the left corner. After taking two deep breaths, he suddenly accelerated towards the basket.
Adrian also hit the ball on the backboard at the same time. The moment the basketball bounced, Zhao Feiyang rushed up and caught the basketball.
After jumping up to catch the ball in mid-air, he directly changed hands with his crotch and then dunked the ball from behind, slamming the ball into the basket.
boom.
The moment the basketball fell into the hoop, the entire arena erupted.
This time even Raven was shocked.
He watched with surprise as Zhao Feiyang dunked the ball into the basket. The moment Zhao Feiyang landed, he was the first to go over and hug and high-five Zhao Feiyang.
"Zhao, how did you do it?"
"Gift Crab! You are so surprising..."
The fans also cheered wildly.
Shaquille O'Neal even deliberately picked up a tissue nearby to wipe the sweat from his forehead in order to show his surprise in front of the camera.
The jury quickly scored.
"50 points!"
There is no doubt that Zhao Feiyang's dunk is not only difficult enough to explode, but also absolutely creative.
At least, it's definitely not bad compared to LaVine's goal.
The performance of two perfect dunks also made the atmosphere more enthusiastic. There is no doubt that a playoff is certain, but judging from the current performance of the two, fans don't know who will be better.
call out.
Soon, the playoff begins.
This time Zhao Feiyang took the lead.
He did not choose another way to dunk, but asked Adrian, who was helping him, to stand a little inside the free throw line.
And he himself stood a little behind the center line.
This move instantly surprised the fans at the scene.
"WTF? Is Zhao planning to take off from the free throw line and dunk? Does he want his teammates to stand inside the free throw line?"
"No, this guy is too crazy! This level of difficulty is much higher than before..."
"Is the gliding distance enough? If not, he is likely to hit Adrian... No, this shot is too risky!"
Even Raven on the side was a little surprised.
When seeing Zhao Feiyang's bold behavior, Raven couldn't help but run over to communicate with Zhao Feiyang, "Zhao, I know you are very powerful and want to try more crazy moves... However, I must remind you, The difficulty of taking off from the free throw line is not small. If there are still people standing under the basket, you must ensure not to hit..."
"Man, I don't mean to disturb you by saying this. I can give up this championship, but I don't want my friends to be hurt..."
"Zhao, did you hear what I said? This is very dangerous..."
Zhao Feiyang was very touched by LaVine's concern.
However, he also responded to LaVine seriously, "Zach, I know you are worried...but you should believe me. This shot is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible to try. ..."
"Trust me, man, when have I ever done anything reckless?"
Zhao Feiyang's last words really left LaVine speechless.
The two have known each other for such a long time, and Zhao Feiyang's every move was just as he said, and there was almost no time when he behaved irrationally.
Anything he is not good at at all, he will choose to reject from the beginning, and there is no way he would choose to try it.
"Okay! Zhao, I believe you, but I still have to remind you to pay attention to your safety..."
"Man, you are our leader. I don't want you to get any injuries because of the dunk contest. We want to hit the finals..."
Zhao Feiyang nodded and patted LaVine on the shoulder to comfort him. Then LaVine walked to the edge of the court and sat down.
Such a heartwarming scene was witnessed by everyone present, and everyone expressed their praise for the friendship between Zhao Feiyang and LaVine.
"Oh! These two guys are really interesting... It seems that Raven is very worried about Zhao. Zhao should also help Raven a lot..."
"No matter who wins the final championship, I think they will definitely be happy for each other..."
"It would be great if I had teammates like this!"
On the field.
Zhao Feiyang was ready. Under the gaze of countless fans, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted near the center line.
What is different from before is that this time he is very explosive, speeding up to the basket almost instantly.
Adrian, who was standing under the basket, was also a little nervous, but he still calmed down and stood there without daring to move at all.
The next second, Zhao Feiyang stepped on the free throw line and jumped high. Amid countless exclamations, he flew over Adrian's head, and then put the ball into the basket with both hands on the way down.
boom.
The ball went in.
Although the dunk action when falling looked thrilling, the ball still went in, and the dunk was officially completed.
"nice shot!"
"Great dunk!"
"Full marks! This should definitely be full marks!"
The fans all stood up and cheered.
The celebrities on the jury were also shocked. Different from the exaggerated expressions before, many judges were really shocked this time.
As for Barton, who was sitting in the competition seat with a resentful look on his face, he was already stupid.
His smile had already solidified on his face, and he became stunned for a moment.
"Fake...is this guy still a human?"
"How could he dunk a ball like this?"
