Chapter 702 We are a playoff team

Seeing Xie Hou complete the dunk, Howard knew that he was sure to lose.

Originally, the popularity was not as good as Xie Hou. To win the dunk king, he needed top creativity. He didn't expect Xie Hou to prepare for this championship and didn't give him a chance.

Four dunks have tricks.

Two dunks in the preliminaries demonstrated his strength and bounce; two dunks in the final challenged high difficulty and beauty.

Howard originally wanted to win by creativity, and he threw the ball in the preliminaries and then hit the ball and buckle it in the flat basket with a Superman cloak, which was all wonderful.

After the final, he threw himself and took the big windmill for the second time, but he lost to Xie Hou.

Xie Hou completed the leap of O'Neal's back buckles in a perfect way, making the game lose its suspense.

Howard's fourth dunk was still creative priority. He had someone install a small basket on the rebound and then put the ball on the small blue card. He needed to jump into the air and grab the small basket's ball and dunk it into the basket.

Interesting and creative, it is much worse than Xie Hou.

He completed his fourth dunk in an official manner, and the commentator said a few nice words, and the focus on the scene was all on the fans' voting session.

The voting session starts from the finals and ends within five minutes after all dunks.

As expected, Howard's vote rate was only 6%.

Xie Hou defeated Dwight Howard with a 94% vote rate and was elected champion of the 2008 All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest.

After the results were released, the audience cheered, and they gave Xie Houbin a feeling of being at home.

When a player comes to perform, you can tell whether he comes with an attitude or not.

Xie Hou's performance in the dunk competition proved that he did not fool the audience. He made careful preparations and came completely for the championship.

He is not the one with the highest jump or the one with the best physical fitness, but he is the one with the most prepared and devoted.

"I would be disappointed if Arthur wasn't the final champion," Barkley said with a smile. "I'm glad to see that the dunk contest is still our favorite game. This is the result that everyone wants to see. Congratulations to Arthur!"

Kenny Smith said: "Four rounds of dunks, four ways. Arthur not only conquered the professional judges, but also won the love of fans. If he finally won the votes with 60%, we can say that he won the championship by the number of fans; but his final votes with 94%, which shows that he has won the recognition of most fans, and even neutral fans are willing to vote for him!"

In the bragging process, professional commentators are often more professional than those who have returned from players to comment.

Groom Albert has been immersed in this industry for many years, and he can praise people with his mouth.

"Arthur proved that the strong are always strong. As long as he wants, he can win the championship of the three-point contest and the championship of the dunk contest. In short, the All-Star Weekend is only the champion of the Skills Competition that has not been won by him. We can fully expect his future performance!" Albert said, "He may become the first All-Star Weekend Grand Slam in history!"

Interestingly, those who care about whether Xie Hou can achieve a Grand Slam are also concerned about his fans and the tnt remember David Aldridge 1 on the scene.

1. Those who often watch NBA should know each other. The black reporter with a mustache also appeared in the 2k.

"Arthur, you won the Amvp several times in the previous years. Last year you won the three-point contest again and this year you won the dunk contest. Do you plan to participate in the skills contest in the future and become the first All-Star Weekend Grand Slam winner in NBA history?" Aldridge asked.

Xie Hou felt that his views were novel. He never thought of becoming a Grand Slam on the All-Star Weekend. After all, after retirement, he had to be a senior, and the honors on the All-Star Weekend are definitely icing on the cake.

But the only All-Star Weekend Grand Slam in history is indeed an attractive achievement.

"I didn't think I would participate in the dunk contest last year. There was nothing absolutely possible, maybe it would." Xie Hou left an indefinite answer.

Xie Hou did not leave a positive answer, and the interview was over.

Xie Hou finished successfully on the second day of the All-Star Weekend.

His preparation for the game is amazing, from dunk design to choreography, especially the operation of the leap of Papalucas, who did not deter it, and after landing, he "draged" the Greeks to the end with disgust, greatly increasing the visibility and fun.

After the night, many people were discussing his dunk.

The players in NBA history that have led the trend of an era seem to be very deductible.

From Dr. J to Jordan, and then to his successors, everyone is in a state of omnipotence. Now Xie Hou has inherited this tradition.

But he turned it upside down.

Jordan and others all participated in the dunk contest before becoming famous and gained fame, while Xie Hou participated in the competition after becoming famous to increase the topic of this event, just like Dr. J who participated in the first dunk contest.

Their existence is greater than the game itself

After them, more players will be eager to participate in this game. From now on, Mingxiong's unspoken rules for not participating in the dunk competition may change a little.

After all, even Xie Hou and James have participated in the competition, what excuses do others have?

Can they say, "I don't need a slam dunk contest to prove themselves?", then Xie Hou needs a slam dunk contest to prove themselves? Why do you say that? Do you dare not or have no seeds?

Some changes are subtle.

Xie Hou and James have no idea about this, and participating in the competition is purely a temporary fighting spirit.

Last year, they watched the dunk contest off the court, mocking the simple and ordinary dunk movements, and I can do it. Someone asked them why they didn’t. Since others asked, they just said they would go.

That night, Xie Hou went out to party with several people from the 2003 generation as usual.

The topic inevitably tends toward the dunk contest. James was ridiculed to death. He was the favorite of the championship, but he ended up in the preliminary round. The two dunks were extremely normal and had no highlights.

"No highlights? My highlights were eliminated without showing them!" James said unjustly.

Anthony said one thing: "You still have a chance to dunk in the second round, but you deducted 42 points. This score cannot even save you."

"Of course God can save me. If he uses his magical powers to injure Dwight and withdraw from the competition, I will enter the finals!" I can't tell that the emperor has such a bad heart.

Xie Hou asked while drinking the juice, taking his complaints as wind blowing through his ears.

"You are so confident, I want to know what actions you have prepared." Wade asked.

James snorted softly, as if he would scare everyone when he said it: "Vince Carter's classic move."

Reverse 360 ​​degree turn buckle?

"Was that turn around and dunk?" Xie Hou didn't believe that his imagination was so poor.

"Of course not!" James's idea was actually good. He wanted to dunk a 180-degree crotch change hand-hanging arm dunk.

The turnover is dazzling, and with Carter's classic hanging arm, it will indeed bring great impact.

From this point of view, he also prepared carefully, but unfortunately he was destroyed by the operation of Xie Hou training competition.

If James wants to use this action, he has to wait until the finals, otherwise Xie Hou’s warm-up dunk has not been around for a while, and everyone has a deep impression, so it is difficult for the judges to give high scores.

Unfortunately, he failed to reach the final. As Anthony said, he deducted a 42 point that even God could not save and returned the house with Green.

After learning about James' preparations, Xie Hou was deeply regretful of his experience, but when he thought that he had ruined the other party's preparations, he was so happy that he would not mention it.

The topic of the slam dunk contest gradually shifted to their respective teams.

They didn't have a good life this season.

The running-in between James and O'Neal is a disaster. The Sharks need space for low singles. The pick-and-roll is of top quality but they don't like to play pick-and-roll. Because of the physical effort and no shooting ability, when the Sharks are on the court, his tactical status is even higher than James.

It would be meaningless if you don't give him the ball.

Relying on him to defend? A guy who barely enters the second defense at his peak, is it better to defend when he gets old? This is more unrealistic than reaping his free throw shooting percentage to 70%.

It took only two months for the Sharks and James to develop from "I am the bodyguard of the little emperor" to "I am the father of James". James needs to shoot more on the periphery, but his shooting efficiency this season is inefficient, and his breakthrough space is still occupied, and half of the offense is useless. Jason Richardson and Barniani and others are not as many shooting opportunities as before. The Knicks' record is avalanche-like deterioration.

Currently ranks tenth in the eastern part.

The team with James and the Elder Sharks at their peak actually ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference. It's really a ridiculous thing the more you think about it.

For the Cavaliers, the situation has basically not changed. Wade made a sprint for the playoffs after returning, and now he has barely squeezed into the eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

The team that was still playing in the division final last season, are you satisfied now that you just play in the playoffs? Of course not.

It took only two years for Anthony's Pistons to degenerate from competing with the Pacers to a second-tier team in the East.

With Big Ben leaving, Chandler's joining was not as useful as expected, the deterioration of several other veterans, and the intensification of conflicts between Billups and the management. These problems cannot be changed by Anthony's average of 2875 per game.

In front of this group of bitter turtles, Xie Hou's problem is no longer a problem.

"Chris, do you have nothing to say?" Xie Hou asked.

"No, we are the playoff team." After the Nuggets, who have been hovering on the edge of the playoffs in the past few seasons, introduced strong players such as Peja, finally has a certain competitiveness. They are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference. Bosh averaged 24 points and 12 rebounds per game. For the first time in his career, he broke out from the wild Western Conference heroes. While aiming at the playoffs, he was also selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star.

It seems really ironic. People who have been smooth sailing in the past few years have all kinds of dissatisfaction. The guy who has difficulty in entering the playoffs suddenly came to a special plane and said to everyone complacently, "We are the playoff team."

Things in the world are really magical.
