Chapter 308 Who Am I, Where Am I, and Why Am I Competing with These Two Monsters?

Oracle Arena. After the first round of the dunk contest preliminaries, looking at McGrady, who looked lazy, as if he hadn't woken up yet...

Stakhouse, Francis, and others had never felt so desperate as they did tonight.

Before participating in this year's dunk contest, the arrogant Francis always felt that people had overhyped Su Feng and Carter.

However, tonight, after witnessing Carter's "hanging dunk" and Su Feng's "free throw line 360-degree dunk," even Francis had to admit...

Su Feng and Carter simply didn't belong to Earth.

No...

We, Earthlings, are holding a dunk contest. Why are you two aliens joining in the fun?

Are you really bullying Earthlings for not studying physics well?

Inside the arena, as the second round of the dunk preliminaries began tonight, there were no seated fans left.

On TNT, Derrick laughed and said, "Although this statement is very unfair to the other contestants tonight, if we could fast forward, I think every one of us would want to fast forward to Vince and Su's next showdown."

On the court, Ricky Davis, who was the first to play in the second round, was clearly affected emotionally. He failed to make the dunk after spinning in the air, only scoring the minimum 30 points.

Stakhouse, who followed, also performed averagely, scoring only 40 points.

Inside the VIP box, Stern, feeling that the dunk contest format could be improved, turned to his assistant Mark and said, "In the future, we can appropriately reduce the number of participants. Don't let those who are just trying to muddle through get in."

Hearing this, Mark nodded and noted Stern's suggestion in his notebook.

At Oracle Arena, because of Davis and Stakhouse's poor performances, many fans who had stood up returned to their seats.

But...

The third contestant to appear in the second round quickly made these naive fans realize what a true "battle of the century" was.

In Su Feng's previous life, in fact, if McGrady and Francis were in previous years, they would have had a chance to compete for the dunk contest championship.

It was just a pity that Carter was too eye-catching, causing people to forget the wonderful performances of McGrady and Francis in this competition.

However, the fans of this life were in for a treat.

Because in the second dunk, stimulated by Su and Carter, McGrady, feeling somewhat aggrieved as the younger brother, simply let himself go.

On the court, McGrady started his run-up from behind the backboard.

Then, after receiving Nash's bounce pass, McGrady made a graceful pull-up in the air, and as his head passed over the back of the rim, he dunked the ball into the hoop.

This was originally a move that McGrady had given up on before the competition.

It was also a classic move that Andre Iguodala would perform in future dunk contests.

"My God! Is Tracy about to announce his joining of the extraterrestrial UFO organization too?" Derrick shouted in surprise on TNT.

Undoubtedly, this was also a dunk worth 50 points.

However, the judges had differing opinions when scoring.

Because in Kenny Smith's view, if tonight's 50 points were based on Su Feng and Carter's standards, then McGrady's dunk would not get 10 points from him.

Smith even believed that if Su Feng had completed the dunk first tonight, he would only give Carter's "hanging dunk" 9 points.

Therefore, amidst boos, Smith, who insisted on using Su Feng as the standard for scoring, only gave McGrady's dunk 9 points.

"Kenny is too strict. It seems that he won't be giving out 10 points so easily tonight," Derrick said on TNT, explaining for Smith, who was under great pressure at this moment.

On the court, after missing out on 50 points, a hint of displeasure flashed in McGrady's sleepy eyes.

Fortunately, a few minutes later, Francis also joined Smith's luxurious 9-point package tonight.

On the court, after Francis completely threw his body into the sky, he was like a giant scythe, instantly splitting the entire state of California.

In Su Feng's previous life, this was Francis's signature move in this dunk contest.

It lacked creativity, but it was difficult to replicate.

Because Francis, whose actual height was only 183 centimeters, had maximized both the height and power of this dunk after taking off.

Just like how the most high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods, Francis's minimalist style gave people a different visual impact in the first instance.

The only regret was that the "stubborn" Smith still refused to give Francis a 10.

As a result, the fans were not happy.

Because in the fans' opinion, wasn't Smith deliberately causing trouble?

On the sidelines, Su Feng, seeing this scene, knew that Smith would definitely not be a judge for the dunk contest again in the future.

However, in Su Feng's opinion, Smith's strict scoring method was more scientific.

Because his 9 points were not given out randomly.

On the court, with McGrady and Francis receiving 9 points in succession, people in front of the TV were very curious as to how Carter would conquer Smith.

"Vince should already be feeling the pressure.

Because if he can't surpass his first dunk, then Kenny definitely won't give him 10 points," Derrick said expectantly on TNT.

About fifteen seconds later, Vince Carter gave the world his answer.

Spring?

That was just a descriptive word for ordinary people.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps...

After Carter took five steps with a strong sense of rhythm...

At this moment, the dunks that had appeared in the dunk contest in the past lost their color.

Carter, who soared into the air, completed an incredible spin with a full sense of power in the air.

At the same time, a gust of wind almost destroyed the entire North America in an instant.

Look, that was Carter's right arm grabbing the ball, the storm rolled up like a windmill.

Bang!

When dunking, at this moment, you simply couldn't find an adjective in the dictionary to praise Carter's dunk.

This...

Was Vince Carter.

This...

Was the dunk god in Su Feng's mind.

The only one.

Perhaps, future generations had surpassed Carter in terms of difficulty and skill.

But only by being here could you truly feel what Vince Carter had done at the 2000 Oakland All-Star Game.

10 points.

On the judging panel, five judges raised their 10-point paddles immediately.

Even Smith, who had been extremely strict before, did not hesitate at all.

The fans at Oracle Arena, who were completely intoxicated by this battle of the century, at this moment, besides holding their heads in amazement, besides wanting to kneel down to Su Feng and Carter, what else could they do?

And could you believe that this was only the second round of this battle of the century?

On the court, after Carter's dunk, everyone's attention once again focused on Su Feng.

At this time, even Britney, who had been sulking with Su Feng before, couldn't help but feel nervous for Su Feng.

After all, after Carter's dunk, which had just shocked the entire United States, even if Britney didn't understand basketball, she knew...

That Su Feng was now in great danger.

However...

Just like when he declared war on Chicago, Su Feng couldn't feel any tension at this moment.

On the sidelines, after carefully looking around at the guests present tonight, Su Feng looked at O'Neal and smiled, "Shaq, can you do me a favor?"

O'Neal: "..."

Okay...

Although from the bottom of his heart, O'Neal didn't want to help Su Feng, his rival, listening to the cheers of the fans, O'Neal, who never spoiled the fans' fun, nodded and got up from his seat.

"What do you need me to do?" O'Neal asked curiously, looking down at Su Feng.

"You just need to hold the basketball and stand under the basket," Su Feng said to O'Neal with a smile.

"Just like that?" O'Neal asked in confusion, unable to guess what Su Feng wanted to do after striking a pose under the basket.

"Yes, just like that," Su Feng nodded with satisfaction.

In 2000, the idea of a "flying man dunk" wasn't as prevalent as it would be in the future.

Su Feng knew that if he directly told O'Neal what he wanted to do, then with O'Neal's self-esteem at this time, he would definitely not agree to it.

Therefore, the elderly O'Neal didn't know that he had been tricked by Su Feng again.

Watch closely, Shaq!

This dunk, I'm taking revenge for not being able to dunk on you back then!

In the restricted area, a second ago, the playful O'Neal was still shrugging his shoulders and happily dancing...

And the next second, a black shadow flew over his head.

Su Feng, who started his run-up from the baseline, after grabbing the basketball held up by O'Neal with one hand, suddenly flew over the rim like a scorpion swinging its tail, and dunked the ball into the hoop with his backhand!

This was one of White Jordan's signature moves in the future.

However, compared to White Jordan's jump over ordinary people, it was obviously more difficult for Su Feng to jump over O'Neal in this dunk.

Because O'Neal was not only tall, but also had a body that was unmatched by ordinary people.

Therefore, Su Feng was only relying on his injury exemption for this dunk.

Otherwise, this split in the air would definitely tear his ligaments.

Bang!

If Carter's dunk just now was the ultimate display of power.

Then Su Feng's dunk was the human limit of skill and height.

On the court, looking up at the replay on the big screen, O'Neal, who had just realized what had happened, was immediately unhappy...

And compared to the hint of displeasure that arose in his heart, a sense of shock quickly surged into O'Neal's heart.

Because how shocking was Su Feng's "flying man scorpion tail"?

In O'Neal's opinion, this was simply not something that humans could do.

Without any accident.

After eliciting cheers that were comparable to Carter's just now, Su Feng also received a perfect score of 50 points for this dunk.

And for some reason...

In the hearts of the people who witnessed this battle of the century, at this moment, Su Feng was as handsome as he could be.

So now the question was.

Why was Su Feng so dazzling at this moment?

The answer was naturally the "Golden Legend Charm Experience Card" that Su Feng had obtained when he first upgraded to [Prodigy]. (See Chapter 78 for details.)

Although this divine item had been quietly sleeping in Su Feng's treasure trove, in fact, after studying the effect of this charm card back then, Su Feng had already decided on its destination.

Therefore, tonight, with the charm value buff, coupled with his cross-border good looks...

In the words of the bunnies in front of the TV at this moment:

Nüwa was too biased when she was kneading figurines back then.

"My God! Are we really not dreaming?

Seriously, after this year's dunk contest, I feel that this competition doesn't need to be held anymore.

Because in my opinion, no one can surpass Su and Vince tonight," Derrick said with emotion on TNT.

On Great Celestial Dynasty TV, Director Zhang was also using "unprecedented and unrepeatable" to describe tonight's game.

It had to be said that although languages differed in their expressions, when humans were in a state of extreme shock, their first reactions were actually quite similar.

At Oracle Arena, after the second round of the preliminaries, the host interviewed the stars on the sidelines about their feelings.

Duncan said, "I'm sorry, I haven't learned about this in my textbooks.

In my opinion, Su and Vince's question is beyond the syllabus."

Garnett said, "Vince is like a monster from Mars, and Su...

I think he might be from another galaxy."

Julius Erving said, "We have been pursuing higher, faster, and stronger...

So, please don't compare me with the younger generations anymore.

They have long surpassed me, far surpassing me."

In the third round of the preliminaries, because Su Feng and Carter had both received full marks in the first two rounds, the results of this round would not affect their scores.

However, in this round, Carter and Su Feng still showed off their unique skills.

The former, after connecting with his cousin, won the audience's applause with a wonderful between-the-legs hand-change dunk.

The latter, after a seemingly casual run-up, once again ignited the scene with a one-handed spinning tomahawk dunk similar to Zach LaVine's in the future.

In the end, Francis, who once again split the entire state of California with an alley-oop scythe, entered the final of the dunk contest with Su Feng and Carter.

The absent-minded McGrady, on the other hand, cleverly sat back on the sidelines and became a spectator.

What a joke...

In McGrady's opinion, it was enough to have his heart stabbed once in the preliminaries.

Was he supposed to go to the final and be humiliated again?

As the saying goes, character determines destiny. Although McGrady's growth environment had changed in this life, his deeply rooted personality was still something Su Feng couldn't change.

At Oracle Arena, before the final began, in the stands, after receiving the ratings report for tonight's NBA All-Star Game individual events from Mark, even the seasoned Stern couldn't help but scratch three big question marks at Mark.

Wait...

Mark, are you really talking about our ratings, and not the Super Bowl?

You had to know that since Stern took office, his ultimate dream was to improve the NBA's international influence through a global strategy.

Because Stern knew very well that in North America, compared to other major leagues, the NBA could only be considered the youngest brother.

But tonight, the miracle had come so suddenly.

The Oakland All-Star Game, which was already explosive in Su Feng's previous life, because of Su Feng's appearance in this life, had triggered an energy that Stern couldn't even imagine, like a nuclear fusion under various coincidences.

But...

After the excitement, Stern also knew that the NBA's All-Star Game would probably not be able to continue in the future.

Because with such excellent seniors like Su Feng and Carter, who would dare to participate in the dunk contest in the future?

The more immortal Oakland was tonight, the harder the NBA's days would be in the future.

This wasn't about favoring the past over the present, but about how the future present...

Could surpass this past?

At the Oakland venue, in the first round of the final, Francis, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with two gods in a mortal body, used a big move that Su Feng had never seen before.

After changing hands between his legs, Francis attempted to perform a half-turn dunk.

Unfortunately...

Francis clearly couldn't defy gravity like Su Feng and Carter in this dunk. He jumped very high, but he also fell quickly, causing his final dunk to hit the rim.

According to the rules of the dunk contest at this time, Francis's dunk ended in failure and only earned him the minimum of 30 points.

As a result, in the stands, Mark once again received a reminder from Stern.

That was that the rules of the dunk contest had to be changed in the future.

Otherwise, some of the more difficult dunks wouldn't dare to be performed by the contestants during the competition.

"After all, not everyone is called Vince Carter and Su Feng!" Stern said with emotion after patting Mark on the shoulder.

On the court, just as Stern was being overwhelmed by the talents of Su Feng and Carter...

Suddenly, Mutombo, the mountain from Africa, was invited to the court by Carter.

"Vince, are you going to perform a jump dunk too?" Derrick said in surprise on TNT.

At the venue, after seeing Su Feng's scorpion tail jump dunk over O'Neal in the preliminaries, the fans were now very curious about how Carter would perform this dunk.

"Is this the dunk with the lowest success rate for Vince in training?" McGrady asked Su Feng curiously on the sidelines.

Su Feng nodded.

On the court, after taking a deep breath, Carter ran towards the African mountain all the way like Su Feng did in the preliminaries.

In terms of style, because Carter was closer to Aaron Gordon in the future, Su Feng naturally gave him more of Gordon's ideas when giving him advice.

However, the fact proved that Gordon's gymnastic talent was indeed one of a kind.

Therefore, slightly different from Gordon, Carter's dunk was more like the one he performed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

After incredibly jumping over Mutombo's head...

Carter's right arm holding the ball once again set off a wave of shock!

In the abruptly enlarged pupils of countless fans, Vince Carter completed his first dunk in the final!

————"Flying Mountain Windmill!"

"My God..."

"Is this still human?"

"Are you telling me that this is something humans can do?"

Without any accident.

Including Smith, five judges gave 10 points.

It had to be said that tonight's dunk contest was simply a large-scale human worldview washing site.

And now...

On the sidelines, Britney, who had already integrated into the atmosphere of the fans...

Admitted that she was really anxious.

Because of this Vince Carter...

Could Su Feng really defeat him?
