Chapter 606 The Space City Takes Off!New heights of prestige! (5700 word chapter! The first update!)
Houston has exploded.
The Western team players who took the lead in the slam dunk contest were stunned.
The three young men Bledsoe, Faried, and Jeremy Evans knew very well that the cheers were definitely not for them.
"LIN---YI!!"
"LIN---YI!!"
"LIN---YI!!"
Bledsoe, nicknamed Blood Cloth, glanced at his Clippers teammate Griffin sitting on the sidelines. At this moment, Bledsoe finally understood why Griffin looked at him with almost pity when he decided to participate in the dunk contest.
So suffocating!
Jeremy Evans, who won the championship in Orlando last year, was inexplicably wronged. You must know that when he won the championship last year, there were not cheers but boos. Although Evans knew that the boos were not for himself, but.
So suffocating X2!
Faried, who is affectionately called a half-orc by Phoenix fans, touched his head with his hands. How strange, isn't Houston half of the home court of our Western Conference team?
Why are there so many traitors here tonight?
James White and Gerald Green, who played together with Lin Yi, were in a broken mood, because no one likes to be a supporting role, but at this moment, they are simply Lin Yi's little followers.
In front of the TV, McGrady, who watched the live broadcast of the Houston All-Star Game with Dayao, smiled sleepily, heh, now you know why I didn’t want to participate in the dunk contest back then, right?
Because of course and egg ah!
On TNT TV, Barkley was not afraid of pricking the hearts of other contestants. "Flying Pig" cheered loudly: "Everyone go home! It's over, it's over!"
Looking at Sharif who was dancing excitedly on the sidelines, O'Neill, who wanted to black Lin Yi, gave up this plan, after all, the sharks were sitting back and forth at this time.
They are all Lin Mi!
"It feels like returning to the beginning of the century." Duncan said with a smack of his mouth.
Kobe smiled and touched Duncan's head, "Tim, I'm afraid tonight's event will be far greater than ever."
James and Wade on the side can only be regarded as juniors when they talk about this topic. After all, they were still young when Carter participated in the slam dunk contest.
It's just that after hearing what Kobe said, James suddenly thought, if I participate in the slam dunk contest, can I restore my declining popularity?
……
In the middle of the court at the Toyota Center, the host went straight to Lin Yi, "Hey, Lin, can you tell us about your idea tonight?"
The other five contestants who were directly ignored by the host felt like beeping Griffin at this moment, and everyone held back their energy, thinking about how to pull Lin Yi down for a while.
Lin Yi looked up at the ceiling of Toyota Center, obviously I am so humble, why do people always want to harm me?
Even if Lin Yi didn't want to make enemies, there was nothing he could do, because Houston was already crazy.
And the vast majority of fans are here for him tonight.
Since modesty is not easy, after pondering for two seconds, Lin Yi replied to the host: "I think you should interview other contestants first."
The host was stunned, and Lin Yi continued: "You can ask, who among them wants to take the second place."
What the hell!
Hearing Lin Yi's answer, the Toyota Center cheered again and again. Scarlett Johansson was too excited when she stood up and applauded, and the picture of the rolling waves almost caused the photographer to spurt blood to death.
In foreign countries, blindly being modest is useless. How can you gain popularity if you don't show off on this kind of occasion?
As a qualified Bird successor, Lin Yi suddenly understood why Bird liked to pretend so much back then. Because even if you don't take the initiative to pretend, someone will always force you to pretend.
It's a pity Bird didn't know Lin Yi's thoughts, otherwise Bird would definitely tell Lin Yi, in fact... I really just wanted to pretend.
"Too arrogant! This answer is too arrogant! Before the game even started, Lin had already taken off his sneakers and slapped the other contestants in the face!" Kenny Smith stood up and said.
"But I like it! GO! Let other players see what a dunk is!" Kenny Smith said excitedly.
Clay, who had just won the three-point contest, bumped into Lin Yi's chest when Lin Yi temporarily returned to the sidelines to rest. Clay looked up at Lin Yi, "Boss, that's cool. Listen, I'll do the same when I participate in the three-point contest next year."
Lin Yi touched Clay's head, why did he feel like he was teaching the children badly?
What can Lin Yi do?
He is also very desperate!
What the hell, the whole of Houston is cheering for him, he can't just answer stupidly that I'm ready for everything, can he?
Since you are here for the championship tonight, don't give yourself a way out.
……
In the middle of the court, the first player to play tonight is Gerald Green, the 07 Slam Dunk Contest champion.
In fact, to be fair, the overall strength of the contestants in the 13 slam dunk contest is not weak.
Blood cloth and orcs have staged brutal dunks in normal games. Green's jumping ability is also at a historical level, and James White even performed a 180-degree turn and dunk from the free throw line in training.
However, when Green came out and was about to dunk, there were still many fans at the Toyota Center who were chanting Lin Yi's name.
GTMD Lin Yi!
Green really wants to say something loudly, I am also the champion of the slam dunk contest, okay!
With the help of his teammate George, Green took a deep breath and folded his hands after hitting the bottom line!
During this dunk, Green's head had already surpassed the basket, and he felt full of strength. After serious consideration, the five judges gave 9 points except for Olajuwon who gave 10 points.
Originally, Yao Ming would be one of the judges for this slam dunk contest, but because Yao has not retired yet, former Rockets star Francis replaced Yao Ming and became the judge.
The host interviewed Olajuwon, and Dameng said that he would not give 10 points until he saw Lin Yi's dunk.
This answer undoubtedly put even more pressure on Lin Yi's shoulders. Lin Yi suddenly felt that the whole world was poisoning him.
"Why won't this be milked to death?" Lin Yi thought to himself.
Green, who failed to score 50 points, was slightly dissatisfied. You must know that his dunk was originally used for the bottom of the box in the finals. Green, who made a big move in advance, could not believe it.
The second dunker to appear tonight is James White of the Eastern team. When White invited ten flight attendants to stand in two rows, Barkley complained: "Does this mean to open the boarding gate?"
As a jumping monster, James White's jumping ability is unquestionable, but it's a pity that this guy's psychological quality is not good. His dunks in training are far more exciting than the dunks he performed in this dunk contest.
Therefore, a character like Lin Yi who is not afraid of boiling water is really suitable for this kind of competition.
On the court, James White started a run-up from the baseline, and then passed through the blessings of the stewardesses. The ball was not the same as Lin Yi remembered, because James White made a successful dunk!
It was a two-handed dunk from the free throw line!
The big screen at the scene immediately gave a close-up of Vince Carter on the sidelines, because in the 2000 slam dunk contest, Carter also performed such a dunk, but White's dunk was obviously farther than Carter's time.
However, in recent years, the NBA has become tired of dunking from the free throw line, so even if White succeeded in this dunk, he only scored 45 points.
After White's dunk was completed, the scene in Houston once again reached a climax!
Hot man here he comes!
At this time, Stern in the stands once again complained about the competition system of this year's individual competition.
Because from the perspective of attracting attention, Lin Yi's last appearance is more beneficial to the effect of the show.
But this year's rule is that the Eastern team will be deducted first, and then the Western team will be deducted. In Stern's view, this competition system is so stupid.
Closer to home.
When Lin Yi was about to play, there were no fans sitting in the Toyota Center, and everyone took out their mobile phones. At this moment, the whole stadium is like a vast galaxy, twinkling and twinkling!
"Oh! Let's see what kind of way Lin will use to end tonight's game!" Barkley blew.
Kobe and Duncan had already left their seats on the sidelines. Many All-Star players from the East and West followed the two big men and lay silently on the sidelines. Clay snatched a camera and squatted in the bottom corner
Lin Yi's first dunk didn't have so many bells and whistles. Wearing the Knicks' No. 44 uniform, he stood sleepily outside the 3-point line.
And as Lin Yi threw the basketball forward, everyone's hearts hung in their throats.
The grand occasions in Dallas and Los Angeles are still fresh in people's memory!
After a year away, what kind of performance will Lin Yi bring to the fans?
One step, two steps, like the pace of death!
Lin Yi's steps were steady, he jumped with all his strength, and while catching the ball with one arm in the air, he turned around lightly, and just when people thought Lin Yi was going to follow Vince Carter back then, the basketball strangely changed hands from his hip!
Bang-dang-!
The hoop at the Toyota Center is trembling!
After landing, Lin Yi was unsmiling, and had the air of being number one in labor and capital.
Barkley threw away the microphone excitedly, "I'll say it again!"
"go home!"
"Let's all go home!"
BOOM——! !
The five judges, Olajuwon, Francis, Tomjanovich, Drexler, and Mutombo, hugged their heads together. Does this really need to be scored?
Lin Yi's buckle has completely taken off the space city tonight!
Green, who scored 49 points in the first dunk, dropped his jaw to the ground.
In terms of difficulty, Lin Yi's buckle Green can also do it.
But Lin Yifei's beauty in the air, the feeling of staying in the air, and the sense of power in the final dunk that seemed to pull the basket down, Green knew that he would definitely not be able to do it.
Green and White looked at each other. Both of them had a feeling of regret.
Why sign up for this year's dunk contest?
The Western team dunkers who have not yet appeared looked at each other, and Faried finally understood why there were so many traitors in Houston tonight.
Because this half-orc really wanted to rush up to hug Lin Yi and kiss him madly.
It's so amazing, it exploded!
After pretending to be aggressive, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, because the slam dunk he prepared tonight was not successful every time in training.
But having said that, nothing in this world is 100% sure to be completed.
Without a skin thicker than the walls, it is impossible to survive in this cruel alliance.
The entire Toyota Center is shouting 50 points, 50 points!
The five judges did not disappoint the fans, and everyone gave full marks in unison.
……
The next game has lost suspense.
Lin Yi's second dunk also came from the idea of streetball experts. He asked Scarlett Johansson to help him get the ball at the free throw line, and then he started a run-up from the baseline.
This dunk is a step before the free throw line, turning around and changing hands under the crotch for a dunk!
In terms of the difficulty of this ball, there are quite a few players in the NBA who can do it, but after gaining weight, Lin Yi has the air of dominating the world when he dunks, and the five judges once again gave him full marks!
"He is the new generation of dunk god!" Excited Barkley has been incoherent.
On the field, Lin Yi, who completed the dunk, was a little apprehensive,
In fact, this dunk was the simplest among the dunks he prepared, but Lin Yi realized that he had made a big death, because when he was catching the ball with one hand just now, Lin Yi almost caught the other two balls
Widow sister, you are indeed fierce!
Lin Yi, who deducted 50 points twice, entered the final on behalf of the East team. At this time, Stern wanted to turn the table, because judging from the performance of the preliminaries, whether it is Green or White entering the final, it will make the final more exciting.
However, this painful game system.
"Which bastard made this suggestion!" What Stern hates the most now is why he agreed to such a suggestion back then.
The staff on the side said tremblingly, "It's Adam."
Stern looked up at the sky, "Oh, change the rules back next year."
Stern intends to remind his successor in private that it is good to be creative, but Xia Jiba's random changes can easily affect the effect of the original program.
……
In the final, Jazz teenager Jeremy Evans appeared under great pressure. As a result, he failed to complete the first dunk with zero time, while Lin Yi easily ran up from the bottom line and won the house again with a hip-hand reverse dunk.
Lin Yi felt that Lavin's path would be completely blocked by himself in the future. Poor Lavin had not even appeared on the stage, and Lin Yi had "plagiarized" all his ideas.
In the last dunk of the final, knowing that he would not be able to defend his title, Evans relaxed his mind and completed a slam dunk with a big windmill under his crotch.
Although known as the most watery dunk contest champion in history, Evans still has a certain strength. After being booed throughout last year, he finally felt a little comfort this year.
Evans: It's a bit uncomfortable, I don't want to talk!
For Lin Yi's last dunk, Kobe was asked to help.
Lin Yi also used props for this buckle, and another basket prepared in advance was carried out by the staff.
The height of the basket reached 365 centimeters. After Kobe hit the board, Lin Yi grabbed the ball with one hand, jumped with all his strength, and made a tomahawk dunk!
During the dunk, Lin Yi's right arm completely sank into the basket!
This deduction of Lin Yi is purely unreasonable!
This kind of extreme jumping is all about personal talent. The creativity of this buckle is not so outstanding, but the moment Lin Yi landed, people felt an inexplicable shock!
Barkley complained: "Mark Duber, the Knicks' physical trainer, once revealed that Lin could touch the top of the backboard. I don't think anyone will suspect that the physical trainer is lying."
In fact, Lin Yi had another idea that was more difficult, but the failure rate of that idea was too high, and the opponent failed to push Lin Yi into a desperate situation, so Lin Yi naturally would not make a big move.
After all, winning the championship steadily is the kingly way!
The fans who watched Lin Yi's slam dunk performance were both happy and disappointed. The happy thing is that Lin Yi made the slam dunk contest come back, but the sad thing is that there is a high probability that Lin Yi will not be able to participate in the slam dunk contest in the future.
The fans at the scene voted for Lin Yi, and Evans was very sad, because there was not a single fan who voted wrong this year, and Lin Yi was elected the champion of the slam dunk contest with all votes!
After winning the championship, in an interview, Lin Yi didn't say anything dead. In the short term, Lin Yi will definitely not participate in the slam dunk contest again, but after this year's slam dunk contest is over, Lin Yi really wants to fight the future LaVine and Gordon again.
Lin Yi wanted to try to challenge the hell difficulty of the slam dunk contest, and that time, everyone would have a fair contest.
After all, Lin Yi has completely used the ideas of LaVine and Gordon, which is very fair!
……
Tonight in Houston is destined to be a sleepless night. The fans in Space City are still reminiscing about Lin Yi's performance in the slam dunk contest, and on YouTube, people have already started discussing how high Lin Yi can jump.
Because Lin Yi's last tomahawk dunk left too many guesses.
In the NBA, there are various legends, such as the myth that the wolf king took off continuously and touched the top of the backboard.
But in fact, Garnett said in an interview that he was probably a palm away from touching the top of the backboard.
However, after tonight's slam dunk contest, no one doubts that Lin Yi can touch the top of the backboard. Some Lin fans even think that Lin Yi's limit can reach 4 meters.
Lin Yi was happy when he saw these comments, "It's more realistic for you to brag that I can dunk from the three-point line!"
Lin Yi himself tried it in training, and he could just touch the edge of the backboard, no matter how high it was, it would be impossible.
And in the actual game, the extreme bounce is not very useful, James White is an example.
To put it bluntly, continuous take-offs and take-offs under confrontation are completely different from this kind of take-off without confrontation. Why does Carter have more actual dunks than LaVine?
Isn't it because LaVine doesn't have Carter's strength?
For this group of supermen in the NBA, it is useless to have outstanding individual abilities. The NBA has never lacked jumpers, but not every superstar is a bouncer.
However, seeing people boasting about themselves like this, Lin Yi was quite happy.
Man, who doesn't have a little vanity?
What's the matter with being proud of the reputation gained by strength?
"The survival rate of the recently planted trees is a bit low." Lin Yi thought with emotion.
……
The All-Star Weekend in Houston has already been robbed of all the limelight by Lin Yi, and seeing the increasing attention of the All-Star Game, overall, Stern is in a good mood.
The only thing that gave Stern a headache was that Lin Yi's popularity was a little too exaggerated.
Stern believes that if the league awards the regular season MVP to someone else this year, it will definitely be sprayed to death by the fans.
Stern has no objection to making Lin Yi three consecutive MVPs, but LeBron, give me some strength!
At least, don't let the MVP selection lose suspense in advance!
After the slam dunk contest ended, several high-level executives in the league discussed with Stern in private. As long as the Eastern team wins tomorrow night and James' statistics are eye-catching, they can no longer give the All-Star Game MVP to Lin Yi. Otherwise, the entire league will have to change their surname to Lin.
but
Stern choked the crowd to death with one word.
"Are you sure that LeBron's statistics will be better than Lin's?"
The president thought to himself, how many times you have to be pierced by Lin Yi, and how many times you have been shocked before you can wake up!
This kid is now the same as Jordan back then, completely refusing to give life to the stars of his generation!
If Jordan is an old hooligan, then Lin Yi is a little hooligan!
The top executives of the league were speechless by what the president said, because what Stern said made sense, they were speechless.
"Hey! The key is that he knows how to make gimmicks too much." A senior executive complained.
The other executives nodded empathetically. Didn't you see that after the slam dunk contest was over, Lin Yi specifically said in an interview that he still has a big move that is useless?
Obviously, Lin Yi used the dunk contest as a prestige cash machine!
You know, now fans all over the world are made uncomfortable by Lin Yi.
Because everyone thought that Lin Yi would not participate in the slam dunk contest again, but when Lin Yi said this, everyone's expectations were fully raised again.
This feeling is as if you are reading a novel well, and the author of Goubi suddenly breaks a chapter for you.
"I can only expect other stars to stand up in tomorrow's All-Star Game." A senior executive complained.
Stern nodded, but secretly, Stern always felt that something unexpected would happen in tomorrow's All-Star Game
