Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 460 Earth-Shattering Dunk! (Fourth Update!)
Classic slam dunk contests in NBA history, including the one with Carter and McGrady, and the one later with LaVine and Gordon.
The reason they became classics, besides the monstrous strength of Carter and LaVine themselves, was another very important point: they had strong enough opponents.
Any wonderful game is built by both sides together.
Tang Tian's two dunks in the preliminary round erased the dismal performances of Lillard, Barnes, and Rose.
Wall's dunk elevated this year's slam dunk contest from ordinary to wonderful.
This year's slam dunk contest will definitely be talked about by fans after the game.
Now the pressure seems to have returned to Tang Tian's side.
Tang Tian's first dunk.
At this time, he temporarily changed his mind, didn't look for Holiday to cooperate, but ran to the commentary table.
The fans at the scene were in a commotion, wondering what happened suddenly.
The few people at the commentary table seemed to be communicating.
After the communication ended, the fans were stunned to find that all five people in the commentary booth stood up and then came to the court in unison.
This made the fans even more confused. What exactly were they going to do?
In the doubtful eyes of the fans, the five commentators lined up under the basket, with the tallest O'Neal in the middle, and the other four ranked in front and behind from tall to short.
When they lined up, the cheers and whistles from the audience had already exploded.
There was only one possibility for this kind of arrangement.
Tang Tian was going to jump over five people for a dunk!
And among these five people, there was O'Neal, who was 2.16 meters tall!
Although O'Neal deliberately spread his legs at this time, making his height not so abrupt.
But it was still crazy!
Not to mention the height, the sturdy physiques of Barkley and O'Neal were astonishing even if they stood close together.
The commentators all went on stage, no one complained, only O'Neal winking there and Barkley spreading his hands.
If this dunk was successful, it would definitely raise this year's slam dunk contest from wonderful to classic.
"Are you sure?"
At this time, the host on the sidelines confirmed to Tang Tian, also to mobilize the emotions of the audience.
Sure enough, after Tang Tian nodded, the emotions of the audience were completely ignited.
This year's All-Star Game was already worth it just to watch this one dunk!
The five commentators were ready, and the fans' emotions were mobilized. Next, it depended on whether Tang Tian could dunk the ball.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball twice outside the three-point line.
The scene quickly quieted down. They didn't want to affect Tang Tian because of their interference.
Tang Tian took a deep breath.
To be honest, this was his temporary idea.
Wall's dunk was better than he expected, and to ensure everything was foolproof, he had to come up with something ruthless.
Moreover, this kind of dunk over five people was also very dangerous.
He meant to push himself a little bit.
But this was also his character, he would do it if he didn't agree.
If it weren't for this character, he wouldn't have beaten the Heat twice in a row with the Spurs.
After adjusting his breathing, he started to accelerate forward with the ball.
Standing on the outermost side was Mike Breen.
Seeing Tang Tian rushing over, he had already closed his eyes.
O'Neal had his legs apart, but he was still about 2.10 meters tall.
For Tang Tian to succeed in the dunk, he had to fly higher than him.
He concentrated all his strength on his right leg one step away from Breen.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound of feet hitting the ground.
Tang Tian leapt into the air.
He used the limit of the King of Bounce at this moment.
For a moment, he was like sitting on somersault cloud, flying over O'Neal and the others' heads.
He crossed O'Neal at the highest point.
At this time, most of his head was beyond the height of the basket!
Over-the-rim dunk!
The eyes of the fans at the scene widened.
Tang Tian was really flying!
After crossing O'Neal, Tang Tian's body was already falling, and he stretched out his hand holding the ball.
"Boom!"
His right hand was charged up, and he directly slammed the dunk with one hand, pulling himself over!
Dunk over five people, success in one attempt!
The scene exploded directly!
Davis shouted frantically on the sidelines for the first time.
Even the dull him showed his fierce side at this time.
Kobe and Wade were even more excited, widening their eyes and doing their best to express their shock.
Even James and Durant showed surprised expressions.
Whether they were willing or not, Tang Tian's dunk shocked everyone at the scene.
Like Carter's performance of the windmill at the slam dunk contest back then, this dunk was a classic!
After Tang Tian landed, Smith and Barkley had turned around and shouted at him.
After they retired, they had really rarely been as excited as they were now.
O'Neal also gave Tang Tian a thumbs up at this time. This was the first time the Big Shark was convinced after being dunked on.
"Is this still human?"
"Although I have seen some amateur professional dunkers complete dunks over several people before, it's really the first time I've seen someone jump over people with an average height of 2 meters. It's incredible!"
"This is the most classic slam dunk contest after Carter and them!"
"He absolutely deserves this All-Star vote king!"
"Carter saved the NBA's ratings back then, and Tang Tian's dunk saved this year's All-Star Game's ratings!"
…
The fans on the hotline also exploded instantly.
With this dunk successful, the second dunk was actually no longer important.
The slam dunk king could only be Tang Tian.
Wall's second dunk still borrowed the mascot. This time, he picked up the ball held up by the mascot and completed a between-the-legs dunk.
His physical fitness was indeed underestimated, and he succeeded in this difficult dunk twice.
The scene also applauded him.
In the case that Tang Tian dunked out that amazing dunk, it was already incredible that he could withstand the pressure and complete this level of dunk.
Tang Tian's last dunk.
Although the slam dunk king had basically been decided, the fans at the scene were still not satisfied.
At this time, they all looked at the court, wanting to see what kind of dunk Tang Tian would complete.
At this moment, a burst of whistles rang out from the fan area on the player channel.
A figure walked out from inside.
The Pelicans' mascot, Pierre!
Pierre is the favorite of Pelicans fans or Hornets fans!
This team's mascot has won the slam dunk king three times in the mascot slam dunk contest, and has also been named one of the top five mascots in the sports world. He is a real trump card among mascots.
When Pierre walked to the basket, the cheers from the audience had already stopped.
Wall used a mascot, right? Tang Tian also used one, and one with a higher reputation than you!
Wall laughed on the sidelines. Tang Tian was really going to win the championship by crushing.
But the fans were also curious at this time. The mascot has been invited out. What exactly will Tang Tian's last dunk be?
