The Fifth Point Guard

Barkley met Kobe at an event.

Barkley: "Hey, Kobe, I got some inside information on the dunk contest, want to hear it?"

Kobe: "What inside information?"

Barkley looked around and whispered in Kobe's ear: "STO and Vince Carter have both signed up for this year's dunk contest. It seems that what Carter said last year is true. STO's performance gave him the opportunity to return to the dunk contest." Desire, and Shentong heard that Carter was going to participate, and immediately signed up to participate in this competition."

Kobe replied nonchalantly: "Oh, really? Then it looks like this year's dunk contest will be exciting."

Barkley said: "That's not true. Looking at the entire league, in terms of dunks alone, it's the two of them. I'm really looking forward to it."

A weekend get-together between Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

The two are playing video games.

Kobe: "Blow, did you hear? Shentong and Vince Carter are both going to participate in this year's dunk contest."

Maddie: "Nose-picking, I'm not as well-informed as you. Why, are you interested too?"

Kobe: "I was just talking casually."

McGrady: "If you want to participate, then I will participate too."

Kobe: "Really? Then this game will be lively."

McGrady: "Absolutely sensational."

So, Kobe called the event phone number.

"Hey, I'm Kobe, Tracy and I want to sign up for this year's dunk contest."

Buckley called STO.

"Hey, Shen, it's me, Charles."

"What about burning donkey meat? I don't eat donkey meat. I just want to ask if you are interested in participating in this year's dunk contest."

"Don't be too hasty to refuse. This year's list will definitely excite you."

"Then listen carefully, there are Carter, Kobe and Tracy McGrady."

"Okay, I understand, Shen, I knew you would definitely participate. I wish you good luck."

Buckley dialed Carter's number.

"Hey, Vince, it's me, Charles."

"Yes, have you heard about it too? Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and STO will all participate."

"Wow, that's great. This year's slam dunk contest is definitely exciting. I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance, Vince."

No one thought that the most exciting slam dunk contest in history was actually saved by Charles Barkley, who Kenny Smith often mocked as "brainless".

In addition to the eye-catching contestants, the judges of this year’s event are also star-studded.

"Flying Man" Michael Jordan, "Human Movie Essence" Dominique Wilkins, "Potato" Sbert Webb, "Glider" Clyde Drexler and "Big Nose" Scott- Pippen.

The NBA Slam Dunk Contest makes the All-Star Weekend more exciting and promotes the continuous changes in basketball technology.

As the basketball game progresses, the slam dunk contest is also gradually improving.

In 1984, the exciting Dunk Contest entered the ranks of the All-Star Game for the first time, and the All-Star Game also took a qualitative leap.

In the past 20 years, there have been "Potato" Sbert-Webber, who is only 1.70 meters tall, who has astonished everyone with his skills and won the championship, letting people see "I can, infinite possibilities", and others who have been praised as "human beings". Movie Highlights" Dominic Wilkins made a comeback five years later, and "Basketball God" Michael Jordan won two consecutive slam dunk championships.

This year, STO has a chance to tie Jordan's record in the dunk contest, winning the dunk contest twice in a row.

However, it will be very difficult for STO to defend its title this time.

Amid everyone's expectations, the game finally started.

This slam dunk contest will take the form of two rounds. Two players will be eliminated in the first round, and then the remaining two players will advance to the finals.

There will be two dunks in each round, and the sum of the scores of the two dunks will be used for ranking.

The first one to appear was Tracy McGrady of the Magic.

McGrady stood at the midline with the ball, then started dribbling toward the basket.

Dribbling into the three-point line, McGrady threw the ball toward the backboard.

The ball bounced off the backboard. McGrady took off with both feet, caught the rebound, turned his back to the basket, made a folding motion in the air, and completed a back dunk!

This movement is like flowing clouds and flowing water, done in one go. It is agile and elegant. Although it is not domineering, it is full of beauty.

"Oh, this is McGrady's signature move. He throws and dunks himself, and then uses a folding back buckle move. It's so exciting! I have to give this move full marks, especially since McGrady's moves seem to be very easy." Buckley commented.

"Let's look at the performance of the judges after McGrady dunked. Everyone laughed and shook their heads. Look, Wilkins, who was sitting next to Jordan, was whispering to Jordan. I guess what they both said was, man, luckily We both participated in this game very early, otherwise we may not be the opponents of these young people." Smith also joked about Jordan and Wilkins.

It's the turn to raise the sign.

There was no suspense, all the judges raised their 10-point signs.

McGrady's first dunk got a full 50 points!

Barkley commented: "T-Mac's first dunk made the players behind him full of pressure. After all, the first dunk is 50 points. If the performance is slightly worse, the score may not be satisfactory. McGrady has already prepared for this dunk contest." It sets a standard and tone.”

Smith said: "However, the three players behind are not vegetarians. The pressure will stimulate their fighting spirit. We also hope to see these guys show off their dunking skills to the best of their ability."

The second player to appear was Kobe Bryant of the Lakers.

As the organizer of the event, Kobe received cheers and support from the audience.

Screams came and went.

Kobe, who has been involved in lawsuits for half a year, plans to use this championship to "make him happy" and get rid of his bad luck.

His first dunk action was also unique.

Hold the ball in one hand and slide along the baseline along the sidelines.

Take off towards the basket when there are still two steps away from the basket.

Make a step-down movement in the air and change hands, then turn around in the air, fly from one side of the basket to the other side, and dunk the ball into the basket with your left hand while completing the turn!

Barkley shouted excitedly: "This is a 360° turn dunk when you step down and change hands to catch the ball in the air!"

Smith shook his head and said: "The contestants in this year's competition are really crazy. This action is only the first action in the first round. It's unbelievable. There are no words to express the shock and excitement in my heart at this moment."

Barkley looked at Smith who had never seen the world and thought: You have to thank me for this. If it weren't for me, how could you have seen such a wonderful and exciting dunk contest? However, I am not someone who likes to show off.

Buckley smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

The judges raised their signs one after another.

The second perfect score of 50 points!

Kobe came to the sidelines, high-fived McGrady, Garnett and others and then sat on the sidelines with a relaxed expression.

Amid the cheers of the crowd and the shouts of the on-site DJ, Vince Carter came on stage with a smile on his face and a trot along the way.

He is the third player to appear.
