Chapter 538 [Justice League! Another Foul! 】
Guo Xu's words immediately aroused heated discussion on the Internet. He was the first person in history to dare to say "I have no confidence in winning all the championships." After all, Jordan's six championships are already difficult to surpass.
He seems to be talking big words and joking, but many fans believe that his number of championships will surpass Jordan's in the future. Because he only played 4 seasons in his career and won 3 championships, which was a much better start than Jordan.
In the Rookie Challenge in the evening, the star who stole the show was Carmelo Anthony at home. He scored 31 points to help the sophomore defeat the rookie team 135-106 and won the MVP.
The most watched star off the court was Kobe Bryant, who had negative news again. He happened to sit with someone he didn't want to see.
It was difficult for reporters to fully focus on the game because there were heavyweights sitting behind the North end line. Counting from west to east, those at the far west are O'Neal and his girlfriend. To O'Neal's left are Guo Xu and Marion, and further down are O'Neal Jr., singer Brandy Norwood and others.
There are only two people between Kobe and Brandi, which is a bit awkward because Brandi is Kobe's ex-girlfriend.
Brandi is someone Kobe doesn't want to mention. When he first entered the league, the media broke a story between the two, which damaged Kobe's image. When Kobe was in high school, he had a girlfriend named Ebron, but when he graduated from high school, he followed his parents' instigation and invited singer Brandi instead of his girlfriend as a female guest.
The whistleblower believes that Kobe was obsessed with fame and fortune at that age and had a strong sense of vanity. At that time, Kobe was still a young boy and had not achieved anything, while Brandy had become famous. There was a big gap in identity between the two, and as a result, the relationship ended after not lasting long.
Combined with "Zen Master" Jackson's autobiography, this celebrity weekend media simply wanted to hold a "Tu Ke Conference". In fact, this is not surprising. Mo Daoqiang was defeated by everyone because it was the way of heaven that reincarnated.
In Saturday's challenge, the first mixed shooting competition, the Suns' Marion, Tauris, and Dan Marlier took only 28 seconds to complete the game, winning the championship and taking home a $30,000 bonus. .
In the skills challenge, Nash defeated Boykins and won the championship in just 25.8 seconds. Now people admit that Nash is very strong and an absolute star point guard.
The embarrassing person is Jason Terry. He joined the Mavericks and became Nash's "replacement". Life was not easy. After the start of the new season, Nelson decided to start rookie Devin Harris. Terry didn't get the chance to start until the 20th game.
The winner of the shooting contest is Peja Stojakovic.
Win by 18 points.
Guo Xu hadn't practiced shooting three-pointers from the rack for a long time. He only scored 13 points and was eliminated in the preliminaries.
The funny thing is that Joe Johnson can't find a rhythm either. He scored 3 points for the first plane, 0 points for the second plane, 0 points for the third plane, 4 points for the fourth plane, 1 point for the fifth plane, and finally got 8 points.
The commentator's comment was: "Maybe Joe Johnson didn't want to embarrass the boss and deliberately acted worse."
Although Guo Xu didn't win, he still received the most applause when he appeared. He could attract fans just by showing his face.
After the warm-up program, it was time for tonight's finale dunk contest, in which Chris Anderson, Stoudemire, JR Smith, and Josh Smith participated.
The first player to appear was Hornets swingman JR Smith. His action was a behind-the-back dunk, which was not very novel. His height in the air was average, and he only scored 45 points.
The next player was Hawks forward Josh Smith. He performed a dunk one step before the free throw line, showing his strong flying ability. However, this action was not creative enough and could not surprise people. He only scored 45 points.
Then came the Hornets insider Anderson. He started throwing the ball in the midfield, and then rushed inside to throw and dunk himself. He failed four times in a row and the audience booed. In the end, he completed the action, and the referee only awarded 41 points.
"Birdman" Anderson's dunks don't have any tricks, but he has a special liking for the dunk contest. He participated in it last season and was eliminated in the preliminaries. This year's performance was even worse.
The most popular Stoudemire made his final appearance. His first dunk was mediocre. He started from the baseline and jumped to the basket with both feet. He lowered his hands and folded in the air to dunk hard with his back. He succeeded once and scored 45 points.
The first player to appear in the second round was JR Smith. He asked his teammate Anderson to cooperate. The latter bounced the ball to the ground. Smith successfully dunked the ball and scored 45 points.
The audience just felt bored on the sidelines. This level of dunk should not appear in the dunk contest. The score of 40 points is actually too high. It is a cooperation that can be achieved in the game. The referee is too disrespectful.
Josh played the second time and found Nuggets power forward Kenyon Martin to cooperate. Martin sat on a chair facing the basket and threw the ball up. Josh took two steps in front of the free throw line, caught the ball and leaped over Martin for a windmill dunk!
This action of his was very difficult and he completed it in one go. The referee gave him a perfect score of 50, with a total score of 95, and he was the first to advance to the finals.
Anderson, who came on for the third time, was simply speechless. Teammate JR Smith cooperated with him and failed four times in a row. The rules of this year's dunk contest have been changed to allow multiple actions. It no longer stipulates two dunk opportunities and one make-up dunk opportunity. This is a bad change.
Anderson barely completed the action in the end, and the dunk was very boring, almost exactly the same as JR's dunk, and he only scored 36 points.
When it was Stoudemire's turn, four staff members moved a "phone booth" to the sidelines.
This was Guo Xu's suggestion. The props he made the day after arriving in Denver were not real phone booths. The wooden materials were painted to look like a phone booth. The phone inside was fake.
Stoudemire then went into the phone booth and changed his clothes. When he came out, he put on a blue Superman T-shirt and a red cape. His lower body was still wearing Suns shorts and no underwear.
The fans in the audience burst into laughter, and the on-site commentator shouted: "The Flash wins the slam dunk king, and Superman is here this year!"
It wasn't over yet. Guo Xu ran out of the player tunnel and put on last year's Flash uniform. The fans applauded wildly. They could tell that they were about to "act in a movie" again.
TNT's Buckley laughed: "The Flash and Superman will work together, I don't know what will happen."
Kenny Smith said: "I think it must be Jason's idea, he likes to play like this."
People were all laughing on the sidelines. O'Neal's expression was the most exaggerated, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide to steal the spotlight. He likes Superman the most, but it's a pity that he can't be the dunk king.
Under the spotlight, the two started running from the bottom line on the other side, performing a very classic story in DC comics, the race between The Flash and Superman that fans are talking about.
In the comics, The Flash defeated Superman. Of course, Guo Xu was faster than Stoudemire. The two gradually distanced themselves. Guo Xu, who was running in front, threw the ball on the backboard and bounced it. Stoudemire followed behind and jumped up with all his strength. He caught the basketball with one hand in the air, moved very smoothly, leaned forward and smashed the ball into the basket.
This dunk was actually not that difficult, but it was more of a gimmick. Although the lights were not turned off in the court, Stoudemire was able to add special effects while wearing a Superman cape, making his movements more beautiful.
After the goal, the two fist-fighted in celebration. The referees gave a perfect score of 50 without any hesitation, and the audience cheered.
Josh was in a daze on the sidelines, and his confidence began to waver. His jumping ability is the strongest in this class, but he lacks creativity.
Stoudemire and Guo Xu cooperated, their popularity was terrible, this was another foul!
