On February 15, 2014, the NBA All-Star Game has not been so popular for a long time.

In the past few years, the All-Star Game has been in a downturn. The decline in viewership has forced the league to modify various rules of the All-Star Game many times to stimulate the interest of fans.

But it turns out that it is not necessary to make the All-Star Game popular again. You just need to let real stars participate in the game, and fans will naturally buy it.

And today, since the morning all-star training and interviews in the East and West, people have been discussing that big star - Link.

"LeBron, will you appear at the dunk contest tonight?" During the All-Star Training interview, the reporters even asked questions related to the dunk contest when interviewing James.

"Of course, whoever in the world who likes basketball will miss tonight's slam dunk contest? I will be on the scene, so will my son. Our family is ready to enjoy the visual feast tonight."

"Will you be here in person to the dunk contest? Let me tell you the truth. I have bought myself insurance to prevent my chin from being dislocated." Although Cameron Anthony was not in the regular season with Link, he also developed a strong interest in tonight's performance.

The only star who expressed disdain for the dunk contest in an interview was Link's archenemy Kevin Durant.

"Russell Westbrook is the best buckle player in my mind, so I don't plan to watch tonight's game. What if Bill Simmons wears women's clothes? He's not good-looking."

Durant made an indifferent expression, he didn't want to help Link build momentum.

But Durant's resistance did not change anything. In Link's words, "Now there are only two people in this world who don't want to watch me dunk. One is Durant and the other is Bill Simmons. But who cares? I only perform for most people."

Durant's resistance did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans, so that the skills challenge and three-point competition at night seemed to have become a sprint performance in the dunk contest.

During the Skills Challenge and the 3-point contest, the dunk highlights of the four players participating in the slam dunk contest are always played from time to time on the live screen and TV.

Among them, Link's highlights are the ones with the most views.

Repair buttons, intersecting dunks, folding dunks... Just looking at the highlights, fans have already feasted their eyes.

Moreover, these dunks appear in official games. In the dunk contest without defensive interference, God knows what kind of fun Link will play.

Finally, in full view of everyone, Spurs guard Marco Belinelli held up the trophy for the three-point competition. The fans cheered, but not for Belinelli, but for the upcoming dunk competition!

The boring mattress performance is finally over. Can the fans be unhappy?

At this time, Link was sitting in the locker room and put on his silver slam dunk contest special edition color shoes.

In front of him, Jordan Kilganon was explaining the final precautions to Link.

After playing later, "White Jordan" has no way to demonstrate for Link personally.

Thirty minutes later, the singing and dancing pressure that warmed up for the dunk contest ended, and all five people invited to be judges entered the venue. This year, in order to cater to this incredible slam dunk contest lineup, NBA officials also invited a luxurious jury team with a luxurious lineup.

The first to appear was "Dr. J" Julius Irving, "The Essence of Human Movie" Dominic Wilkins, who followed closely behind. These two people are undoubtedly the greatest deductible players in NBA history, and it was beyond the expectation of many fans that they could serve as judges.

But all this is not over yet. Yao Ming is the third player to play. This is the second consecutive year he served as a judge in the dunk contest. As a competition with Chinese players as the selling point, he naturally has to invite a Chinese judge to completely open up the Chinese market.

After Yao Ming, another great giant in NBA history, O'Neal appeared with his funny dance steps. So far, the four judges are Hall of Fame-level stars.

But if you think this is over, you're very wrong! Finally, in the surprised eyes of fans, the "old gangster" Michael Jordan was the last to enter the court!

The last time Jordan was a judge in the slam dunk contest was seven years ago. After that, he said that he would not be a judge in the slam dunk contest again because players now can no longer deduct surprising actions.

As a result, Jordan broke his promise and returned to the dunk contest again. The reason is simple, he finally waited for the player who might surprise him!

Five judges sat on the stage, and the lineup was so luxurious.

Generally speaking, judges of the dunk contest will choose the city team celebrities. For example, last year's Houston All-Stars, judges of the dunk contest Yao Ming, Mutombo, Tomjanovic, Drexler and Olajuwon are all Rockets celebrities.

But this year, NBA broke this tradition. They directly found the greatest players to be judges to highlight this destined great slam dunk contest.

In addition to the judges, there are also first-tier league stars such as Wade, James, Kobe, Duncan, etc. in the stands. Even if fans just look at this lineup of watching, they are worth the fare.

Finally, the lights at the scene dimmed and turned into a spotlight, illuminating the player's passage.

The contestants are finally going to play!

Link is naturally the last finale to play. When he dunks later, he will also be the last finale to perform.

"White Jordan" appeared behind him as Link's action designer. Most people at the scene didn't know who the handsome guy with silver hair was, but some people who were concerned about the dunk performance recognized him.

Seeing him appear next to Link, the tactful fans knew how much explosions were today.

After the contestants entered the venue, today's special guest Bill Simmons went up to interview "White Jordan" Kilganon, "I heard that you are Link's dunk action designer? Do you think Link is difficult today's game?"

Simmons didn't know Kilganon, and he thought Link had just found a street artist.

Kilganon faced the camera and spread his hands easily, "It's hard, it's hard. This game is not as simple as the playoffs for Link. But the difficulty lies not in the opponent. I promise Link can easily kill his opponent. The real difficulty of this game is the challenge of Link's self-challenge."

After listening to Kilganon's words, Simmons smiled happily.

Too arrogant, there is no good result! Why challenge yourself, can Link still go to heaven?

Amid the cheers of all the fans and the eyes of basketball fans all over the world, the slam dunk contest, which was destined to be recorded in history, finally began.

The first one to play was Lillard, who is the shortest among the players in this year's slam dunk competition.

However, height cannot determine a person's ability to dunk. "White Jordan" off the court is a living example.

Lillard's first dunk must be worthy of the fans' expectations for this game.

So, he didn't keep it. As soon as he got up, he directly made a swing of hands and dunk in the air!

Although this action is not creative, it is really difficult for Lillard to be tall. The only drawback is that Lillard flew the first button and the second button was truly completed.

Although there are some minor flaws, Lillard has started a good start for the dunk contest.

In the end, Lillard also scored 3 8 points, 1 9 points and 7 points, with a total score of 40 points. It is understandable to score 8 points, because Lillard failed once. Yao Ming had nothing to do with 9 points, and this goal is indeed quite exciting.

But Jordan scored 7 and showed his unique side. His scoring this time was undoubtedly telling everyone, "It's not easy to win my favor."

After Jordan scored, he didn't forget to look at Link. Whether Link could conquer the picky Jordan instantly became one of the highlights today.

The second one to play was Link's good brother, Paul George, the Pacers' star.

George is considered Link's main rival because George dunks more times in the game than Lillard and Wall, two point guards.

George dunked for the first time and found his teammate Lance Stephenson to help. Stephenson's acting talent made people look forward to this dunk.

The two of them decided for a while, and then Stephenson took the ball and threw it gently towards the timer at the free throw line. George arrived tacitly, jumping up as the basketball fell and completing a one-handed buckle.

At first glance, this dunk looks ordinary, just a one-handed dunk after receiving the ball in the air. However, through slow motion replay, it is not difficult to find that George's main goal is his physical stretchability and height.

In the end, George scored 4 8 points, and Michael Jordan's 1 7 points!

"Oh my God, Michael is really strict. Although George's movements are not difficult, the stretchability and height are really amazing. 7 points? God, what kind of dunk he wants to see."

Mike Brynn complained, and Jordan seemed to be a little too strict.

Then, the top pick in 10 years Wall appeared. Wall played some creativity and used a few lines to sing with the microphone before dunking.

Although he played very high-profilely, Wall's dunk did not disappoint everyone in the end.

Wall was seen holding the ball from outside the three-point line on the right and started running. He suddenly jumped when he rushed from the side to the basket, then rotated 360° in the air, glided to the other side of the basket, and dunked the ball in with his back!

Wall succeeded once! The moment he dunked the ball into it, the stars on the field widened their eyes.

No one expected that John Wall could handle such an exaggerated dunk at once!

Although there is nothing new about 360° turn and dunks, Wall mainly turned 360° and also had a pull rod action.

This made the dunk very difficult. In the end, everyone except Jordan gave a full score of 10 points. Even the picky Jordan raised the 9-point sign.

This is the highest score Jordan has ever given today!

Wall enjoyed the cheers at the scene. He had been preparing for today for a long time. He didn't know the others, but he came for the championship and to defeat Link!

"Link must be under great pressure now, because Wall took out a very difficult dunk. Link, who played the finale, must have a more difficult dunk than Wall to attract attention!"

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Link, and everyone wanted to see how he would deal with it.

Link walked towards the court with a relaxed look on his face, then greeted Bill Simmons, and took the microphone in his hand, "What can I say? Their dunks are too simple!"

As soon as Link said this, the whole audience immediately became shaking! Wall's 360° tie rod dunk was already difficult. Is Link's more difficult move?

Or is he just a stubborn person?

After saying that, Link walked to the scoreboard and told the judges not to blink.

Jordan smiled wickedly. He was ready to give Link 6 points. If Link's dunk did not meet his expectations, he would never be ruthless!

Link didn't do anything fancy. After saying that, he picked up the basketball and pushed it to the middle between the three-point line and the midfield line. It seemed that the running-up distance was quite far.

James held his breath off the court. He still clearly remembers how Link completed an incredible rebound and lap after pulling a lap under the Big Three. He knew better than anyone else how perverted Link's physical fitness was.

What will this dunk be?

The scene seemed to be quiet, and only people could hear the sound of breathing.

Link started running up, and finally raised the basketball with one hand and started to circle around the air near the basket!

Everyone thought Link was also a 360° turn and dunk, but after turning around in the air, Link did not fall or dunk, but then turned around again!

After Link's body turned 720° in the air like a top, Link smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

The whole action was completed in one go, and it was successful in one go!

Link landed, spread his hands open, and muttered, "It's too simple, too simple."

The audience was silent for about a few seconds, and the air seemed to have frozen. However, this was just the tranquility before everyone exploded.

"Boom!" In an instant, cheers, exclamations and roars came.

James stood up, covered his head with his hands, widened his eyes, as if he had seen the god descend to earth.
