50 points.

The on-site judges quickly gave the final score.

There was still no suspense.

If a dunk like that wasn't worth 50 points, then it wasn't the dunk itself that was the problem, but the judges.

With 100 points from two dunks in the final, LaVine couldn't lose.

"What do you guys think Tang needs to do to win?"

On the commentary booth, Breen opened the question.

This was a question worth discussing, but it was difficult to come up with a result.

LaVine had even pulled out a free-throw line windmill, how could anyone else win?

There was no way to win!

"I don't deny Tang's ability, but his chances are really slim."

Kenny Smith gave his professional analysis.

"Maybe he really needs to start dunking from the three-point line."

Barkley continued with a smile.

Tang Tian's overall strength was very strong, but in the realm of dunking, LaVine was still better.

Tang Tian walked onto the court, his every move drawing everyone's attention.

This time, there was no helper.

Even the few fans who supported Tang Tian were disappointed.

Barkley and the others thought it was impossible for Tang Tian to dunk harder than LaVine, but in reality, it was still possible.

For example, Tang Tian could have someone pass him the ball from the side, catch it at the free-throw line, and do a windmill. As long as he succeeded once, it would definitely kill LaVine.

But that kind of shot was unrealistic to think about.

And Tang Tian didn't seem to choose to do that.

Could he be going for a between-the-legs dunk from the free-throw line?

Or a 360° turn from the free-throw line?

When it came to difficulty, in their opinion, only these two dunks could be stronger than LaVine's.

Tang Tian started running.

He charged in from beyond the three-point line.

This time, he took off a large step inside the free-throw line, a full four meters away from the basket.

This wasn't a free-throw line dunk, but the take-off distance was far enough.

Under everyone's curious gazes, Tang Tian soared into the air and stuffed the ball under his right leg.

This was a between-the-legs dunk!

Seeing this, the disappointment in the fans' eyes deepened.

As expected, with no chance, Tang Tian had chosen to dunk casually.

Although the take-off distance of this dunk was far enough, it wasn't from the free-throw line, so it couldn't possibly be as difficult as LaVine's just now.

Going last had its advantages, but if the person in front was too strong, going last was meaningless.

Because before it even started, the championship had already been locked in.

LaVine would defeat Tang Tian and take the championship!

This was a 100% certainty!

Just as this thought flashed through their minds, an unbelievable thing happened on the court.

After switching the ball between his legs, Tang Tian didn't dunk directly, but instead stepped out with his other leg in mid-air, and switched the ball back to his right hand with his left hand!

Double between-the-legs!

The fans' eyes almost popped out.

So the reason Tang Tian's take-off point was so far away wasn't to increase the visual effect, but to have enough distance to complete the action!

But this... how was this possible!

Someone could actually complete a double between-the-legs!

"Bang!"

After completing the double between-the-legs, Tang Tian slammed the ball heavily into the basket with his right hand.

Completed in one go!

The fans were stunned for a moment before they reacted.

By the time they reacted, all that was left in the Staples Center was shouting.

"Godfather! Godfather!"

Even on the judges' panel, O'Neal stood up and raised his hands high.

Now, the judges regretted giving LaVine 50 points earlier.

LaVine's dunk earlier was absolutely max level, but Tang Tian's dunk was beyond max level!

The truth was, there was no strongest dunk, only stronger dunks!

LaVine and Tang Tian were really overturning humanity's understanding of dunking one after another!

Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief after the dunk.

This difficulty was very difficult for him.

If he hadn't specifically prepared for the dunk contest, it would have been very difficult for him to complete it in one go.

But he succeeded.

50 points.

The on-site judges followed with their scores.

LaVine had 100 points from 2 dunks in the final, and Tang Tian also had 100 points from 2 dunks!

The two were tied again!

That meant that the two sides would usher in an overtime of the dunk contest!

This was the first time in NBA history!

Tang Tian and LaVine had pushed this dunk contest to an epic level!

All the fans participating in, or even watching this dunk contest, were so excited that they couldn't describe it in words.

This was even more exciting than watching the Finals!

The game entered another break.

Tang Tian and LaVine had consumed a lot of energy dunking up to this point.

Tang Tian sat there to rest, while LaVine turned around and started talking to the people next to him.

It could be seen that the two people had somewhat different mindsets at this time.

And it wasn't just their mindsets, but their preparations were also different.

Tang Tian knew LaVine's strength very well, so he had prepared multiple dunking moves to be prepared for any eventuality.

But LaVine probably had a lot of confidence in himself, only prepared four moves, and was now starting to think of moves on the spot.

This time, the Lakers' cheerleaders performed during the intermission.

Compared to the Clippers' cheerleaders, their dance was more aggressive, eliciting a burst of whistles from the sidelines.

After their dance performance was over, LaVine followed and took the stage.

The first dunk contest overtime in NBA history was about to begin!

When LaVine took the stage, there was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Because he wasn't alone, Curry also stood up with him.

Curry didn't have the opportunity to participate in the dunk contest himself, but he was invited by LaVine to be his assistant.

The two spent a lot of time talking after taking the stage.

And Curry also stood on the side of the free-throw line and tried throwing the ball a few times.

It was obvious that this was a temporary dunking move.

LaVine tried running from the three-point line, and after confirming with Curry again, walked to center court.

At this time, the fans' heartbeats accelerated.

This looked like another free-throw line dunk, and it was a catch.

LaVine charged up, and when he reached the free-throw line, he stepped on it and soared into the air again.

The fans guessed right.

Curry passed the ball over.

The quality of this pass was average. LaVine wanted to do a tomahawk dunk after catching the ball, but the action was a bit rushed.

"Bang!"

The ball bounced off.

There was an uproar in the audience.

This was the first dunk that LaVine had missed in this year's dunk contest.

Although this move was difficult, in this kind of peak showdown, failing once could mean failure.

But that's how the game was. A temporary move with someone helping had too low a chance of success in one go.

LaVine was also a bit frustrated, but Curry immediately indicated that it was his problem.

Fortunately, there were still two chances.

LaVine adjusted his emotions, returned to center court, and took a deep breath.

He was under tremendous pressure now.

He no longer had the calmness and composure he had during the preliminaries and finals.

He charged up, stepping half a step over the free-throw line and soaring into the air.

Curry's ball was perfectly timed this time. LaVine caught the ball and raised it high, doing a direct tomahawk.

"Bang!"

The ball was slammed heavily into the basket.

LaVine succeeded!

Although he used two chances, he completed this incredible dunk!

Curry waved his hands after seeing LaVine dunk it in, signaling the fans to cheer louder.

Although he was brought in as a temp, he was really doing his best.
