Chapter 372 [The old men can't sit still]

The street ball player "Goat"'s one-goal double dunk is just a legend, but Yang Jian had seen this kind of dunk in his previous life.

In the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in February 2013, Gerald Green completed this action, but failed to get a high score after the timeout. Yang Jian knew how to dunk, and had someone remove the net to practice it in the afternoon, and the game

It takes time to succeed the first time.

Without examples, it would be much more difficult for Yang Jian to figure out the dunk action on his own, so he would not choose an action that he has not seen in his memory. If he is asked to practice hard for a long time just to show off at the All-Star Weekend, the gain outweighs the loss.

Yang Jian continued to win the dunk king with five perfect dunks and was interviewed by reporters on the spot.

"May I ask how you mastered the action of double dunking the ball with one ball?"

Yang Jian laughed and said: "I failed many times in the first practice. Then I thought that there are usually no nets on street courts. I removed the nets and practiced again, and it turned out to be a success."

The reporter asked: "Will you participate in the dunk contest again in the future? Many people now think that you are the strongest dunk king in NBA history."

"I want to continue participating next year and complete three consecutive games. I know the fans like to watch me dunk, and I will continue to come up with new tricks next time." Yang Jian made a promise and received warm applause from the fans.

Yang Jian, who is the favorite to win the championship, won this slam dunk championship, which is equivalent to booking the All-Star vote king for next season. Even if he is Chinese, Jordan's popularity will never be better than him, just because Jordan can't be like him

Dunk.

There is no comparison between Jordan's 1988 slam dunk contest and Yang Jian's two slam dunk contests. No one can deny this. Jordan's dunks lacked creativity. Victory relied on free throw line dunks, and he used them twice.

Jordan had a fierce competition with Wilkins at the time, but there was no competition when Yang Jian participated in the slam dunk contest. It was completely his personal show.

After the game, Yang Jian made the headlines of all sports news, as if the only event today was the slam dunk contest. Who is the champion of the long-range shooting contest? Who cares?

Everyone was discussing Yang Jian's dunk. Both the fans at the scene and the fans watching the live broadcast were still interested in it. They immediately wanted to find a replay to watch. His self-throw and dunk in the finals had already shocked the world, and the second dunk was called

legend.

Fans feel that Yang Jian has made dunking so difficult that no player will surpass him in the future.

Yang Jian gained an attribute point after winning the championship. He changed Kobe's history, and Kobe lost the opportunity to become the youngest dunk champion in NBA history.

Kobe is only 18 years old this year, and Yang Jian was 19 when he won the championship last season. If Kobe wins the championship, he will set a historical record, but now he has no chance.

If the Timberwolves' Chris Kyle, who averaged 6 points and 2 rebounds per game, hadn't participated in the dunk contest, Kobe might have been eliminated in the preliminaries. His moves in the preliminaries were very simple, with no height or tricks, and he could dunk the ball like a windmill.

Kobe Bryant's crotch change dunk in the finals only scored 48 points. It was far less beautiful than Yang Jian's crotch change dunk in the preliminaries and looked back at the moon. That was his best dunk. He wanted to try an alley-oop crotch change dunk for the second dunk.

, was blocked by the basket and was not completed.

In the parallel world, Kobe's victory depends on the rules. Now the players are competing for the highest score of the two dunks, rather than the superposition of the two dunks. If they were superimposed, the winner would be Timberwolves substitute Chris Kyle.

Yang Jian found that there was no way to add more points to his shooting accuracy. Just like his physical fitness, the maximum score could be 90. Ordinarily, the full score should be 100. He suspected that the last 10 points could not be added by adding points, but by hard practice or those in martial arts novels.

An epiphany.

So he added attribute points to his spirit, for a total of 73 points.

He still doesn't think about adding basketball skills, 65 is enough. With his physical fitness, he can basically play with one trick, and he doesn't need so many dribbling skills to get rid of the defense.

Sunday's event attracted the attention of fans even more. In the morning, there was a press conference for the top 50 stars. Many stars were interviewed by reporters. Fans were waiting to see the excitement and wanted to know what kind of sparks the stars would create and whether there would be any.

Controversial remarks.

In order to prevent the stars from being dissatisfied with each other and expressing their disdain for each other in interviews, NBA officials have repeatedly emphasized that the top 50 superstars are ranked in no particular order. But for the media, how can they let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime hype topic?

At the beginning of this month, many media compared Jordan with the super veterans in history.

When the conclusion was drawn that Chamberlain, Russell, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the best players of all eras, were not as good as Jordan, the old men couldn't sit still.

Chamberlain, who has always been arrogant, told the media: "In my mind, the greatest basketball player is neither Jordan nor Magic, but Robertson. It is a pity that he did not catch up with a good era."

Russell supported another outside player Jerry West. "Look at the top ten superstars in NBA history as rated by your media. The superstars in the 1960s often accounted for more than half. That was your own rating. That era

It’s not that there’s too little talent, it’s just that there’s too much talent, but we haven’t caught up with the good times, especially Jerry West, who should have had more rings.”

Big O, who was supported by Chamberlain, and West, who was supported by Russell, were both outside players like Jordan. Interestingly, in the 1960s, they both lived in the shadow of Chamberlain and Russell. At this time, the two elders stood up and said

They are better than Jordan, and the meaning is self-evident.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Havlicek and others also stood up and said that West is a better defender, but he just hasn't caught up with the good times.

Champion coach Pat Riley also added insult to injury: "Michael Jordan's game is more entertaining to watch than Jerry's, but in the history of the NBA, there is absolutely no player more qualified to be called that than Jerry West."

as 'Mr. Key'".

What a key man who is not entertaining to watch. I don’t know why he and Elgin Baylor won 8 runner-up places, but only won the championship at the end of his career. West played in the finals nine times, with a record of one win and eight losses!

This is a group of old yin and yang people who don't need logic when talking. To put it bluntly, they are actually boasting. Even the strongest defenders can't beat them inside superstars. Jordan won three championships because they retired.

West refused to come to Star Weekend to attend the awards ceremony, largely because he did not want to meet these people. He wanted to lose face and was embarrassed to say that he was a winner, let alone feel that he was better than Jordan.

As a manager, West is very aware that players' overall physical fitness and basketball skills and tactics are constantly improving. How can a guy like him who is 188cm tall and weighs 80kg play a shooting guard against Jordan?

All in all, this year, with the help of many celebrities and the media, Jordan was portrayed as a lucky man living under the protection of the rules of the 1990s.

Jordan's competitiveness is well known. He might be able to tolerate comparisons with inside players such as Chamberlain and Russell, but when Big O and West are said to be better than him, Jordan immediately gets angry.

Magic also came out to make peace, saying that people should respect Jordan's value off the court more. Good guy, what he said seemed to support ancient stars, and it also seemed to support Jordan.

Bird even spoke from the moral high ground: "It is unfair to regard any player as the best in history. There are five positions in basketball, and any position is irreplaceable. Guards cannot play the role of center.

, it is also difficult for a center to replace a defender.”

The 50th superstar celebration has not yet begun, but Jordan has already been isolated by the celebrities. He could be king in the 1990s, but he could not stop a group of old guys from relying on their old age and criticizing his achievements. This made Jordan, who had a strong self-esteem, angry.

pole.

When the list of the top 50 superstars was announced, the media ranked his name at an inconspicuous 46th place.

A magical thing happened today. Jordan did not attend the press conference. He would rather pay a fine and go play golf than meet the old guys. This incident alone is big news, and reporters do not need to interview him.

Chamberlain and Russell became the most popular people in the audience, and were surrounded by many reporters for interviews. Jordan's absence was like a great victory for the players of the 1960s.
