Chapter 11 The Final Practice Before the Dunk Contest

On the morning of the 11th, after breakfast, Su Feng, Carter, and McGrady went to the basketball gym for their final practice before the dunk contest.

McGrady's mood during the dunk practice could be described as utterly collapsing.

Because as early as the first time he practiced dunks with Su Feng and Carter, McGrady already knew the outcome of this evening.

Especially the ideas Su Feng provided to Carter...

In McGrady's view, this was definitely a performance that people of this era had never seen before.

It must be said that although McGrady in this life entered the All-Star game early and even won a championship, he still felt inferior when facing Su Feng and Carter.

But in fact, if McGrady could be more confident...

With his explosive talent, he wouldn't have become just a spectator in this dunk contest as he thought.

After all, in addition to giving Carter ideas, Su Feng wasn't stingy with his inexhaustible inspiration for McGrady.

However, on the morning of the 11th, in order to ensure that his dunks could be successfully completed that night and not be eliminated in the first round, McGrady ultimately abandoned the most brilliant of the ideas Su Feng had given him.

"Su, aren't you and Vince worried about making mistakes?" In the training gym, McGrady asked Su Feng curiously.

Su Feng knew that McGrady was kindly reminding him.

Because the dunk contest rules at this time were different from the future. Although each player had three dunk attempts in the preliminary round, if a dunk failed, you would waste that attempt.

Therefore, many players would choose to lower the difficulty of their dunks to avoid mistakes.

Even top dunkers like Su Feng and Carter couldn't guarantee that their dunks would be 100% successful.

Judging from the recent training, the success rate of the dunks Su Feng had prepared in advance was about 60%, while Carter's success rate was slightly higher, but only about 70%.

"Tracy, you know, before we played the Bulls that year, people said our chances of winning were less than one in ten thousand.

But in the first game against the Bulls, I jumped onto the technical table without hesitation to express our determination to win to the people of Chicago.

Because in this world, there is nothing that is 100% guaranteed to succeed." Su Feng said, patting McGrady on the shoulder.

McGrady: "..."

Okay, maybe that's the charm of a big shot!

"Good luck!" After a long while, McGrady said, looking at Su Feng.

"You too," Su Feng said with a smile to McGrady.

...

On the evening of the 11th, at 6:30 PM local time in California, the highly anticipated 99/00 season NBA All-Star Weekend skills competitions began at the Oracle Arena.

In the stands, many familiar Hollywood stars and movie moguls came to the scene tonight.

As for TNT, Kenny Smith, who was responsible for serving as a judge tonight, had secretly sneaked into the players' locker room while the staff was setting up the venue.

Just like in Su Feng's memory, Smith came to snoop for information.

"Su, Vince, can you tell me what moves you've prepared?" Looking up at the Toronto Twin Stars, Smith asked curiously.

"I've prepared five moves that will make you give me 50 points." Patting Smith on the shoulder, Carter said with a smug smile, his lips slightly raised.

When Smith turned to look at Su Feng, Su Feng gave Smith a familiar smile.

At that moment, Smith seemed to recall the fourth game against the Chicago Bulls.

When everything indicated that the 76ers were about to be tied by the Chicagoans, on that night that Smith could never forget, Su Feng led them to defeat the invincible Bulls with just such a confident smile.

"Tonight, remember not to give me a low score like 9." Su Feng said to Smith with a hint of a joke.

Smith: "..."

Alright...

Before the game has even started, neither of you want to be human, huh?

After a long sigh, Smith said to Su Feng and Carter, "No problem, if you can really complete five different super dunks in the game, then I will definitely not be stingy with my scores."

The scene returned to the Oracle Arena.

Although according to the schedule, there was the traditional three-point contest before the dunk contest, for the fans who came to the scene tonight, their purpose was very simple.

When Su Feng and Carter appeared in their training uniforms, the entire Oracle Arena instantly erupted in deafening cheers.

At the edge of the court, Britney, who was still angry with Su Feng, also gave Su Feng applause with a smile.

On CCTV, Zhang Weiping was counting the American celebrities who came to the scene tonight for the rabbits in front of the TV, just like reporting the names of dishes.

Just as the rabbits were silently feeling the charm of Director Zhang's solo talk show, at the Oracle Arena, Su Feng, who had walked to the technical table, suddenly stopped.

Looking at the horrified eyes of the staff at the technical table, Su Feng, feeling that he couldn't walk, simply jumped onto the technical table.

Then, after he rolled up a magazine, which he didn't know where he took out from, into a cylinder...

The atmosphere of the entire Oracle Arena completely reached a climax.

"Get ready to go home! Ladies and gentlemen!"

Because the All-Star Game has a strong entertainment nature, therefore, after Su Feng reproduced the scene of him jumping on the technical table in Chicago that year, the fans at the scene also cooperated and sounded...

"It's over! It's over!"

This was a performance that had never appeared in the dunk contest.

At Su Feng's suggestion, Carter chose to put this dunk first tonight.

And although many players will be able to do this move in the NBA in the future, after witnessing Carter's dunk, Su Feng felt that no matter in terms of strength or aesthetics, those latecomers were not worthy of having a name.

"I think the pressure is now on Su. My God, what a dunk!" Derek said in surprise on TNT.

"Before you could even finish speaking, Vince had already completed his performance. Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, I really can't guess what Su will do in response to such a Vince?" Derek's commentary partner Mike said with a smile.

Without a doubt, Carter's dunk earned five 10s.

In an interview, Smith also said that he would raise his scoring standards next.

It must be said that before Gordon and LaVine came out, the 2000 dunk contest was simply the nightmare of those future dunkers.

Because after the 2000 dunk contest, for a long time in the future, people believed that there would be no more dunks in the NBA.

At the Oracle Arena, after Carter finished his explosive debut, Su Feng also stepped onto the court with a smile.

At this time, the NBA stars who were still sitting honestly on the sidelines ran to the baseline and sideline.

Wearing a huge mushroom head, Kobe stole the job of a sideline cameraman and walked onto the court with a camera on his shoulder.

Schwarzenegger, who was sitting behind Britney, also left his seat and watched Su Feng's figure with other Hollywood stars who came to the scene.

"Oh?"

On the judges' bench, Smith suddenly became energetic when he noticed that Su Feng's run-up distance was a bit different from the previous players.

However, in Smith's view, if Su Feng simply completed a free-throw line dunk, he would not get a 10 from him.

Dong, dong, dong.

On the other side of the court, after dribbling and accelerating, Su Feng, like a gust of wind crossing the court, quickly gave the world the answer.

Stepping on the free-throw line, this was the position Michael Jordan took off from that year.

However, unlike Michael Jordan, after taking off, Su Feng, like a ballet dancer, completed a spin in the air that made people applaud.

This was a dunk that Zach LaVine had completed in training in the future.

It was also the ultimate move that Aaron Gordon failed to force out:

————Free-throw line 360-degree dunk.

Bang————!!

In training, Su Feng's success rate of completing this dunk was not high, so he put this dunk first.

Because just like McGrady said, there were three dunk attempts in the first round of the preliminary round.

It was just different from McGrady's idea...

In Su Feng's view, since there were three chances in the preliminary round, and only the two highest scores were selected, then the first dunk naturally had to be the most ruthless.

Because in this way, it didn't matter if he didn't make the dunk.

Anyway, there were still two chances next.

Moreover, based on this idea, Su Feng believed that even if he didn't make the dunk, he could still win applause.

After all, for people in this era who had only seen Jordan's free-throw line performance, how could they have imagined that someone could actually do a free-throw line 360-degree dunk?

At the Oracle Arena, after Su Feng landed, the entire arena instantly exploded.

"The Smiling Assassin" Thomas directly flew over the judges' bench and rushed to Su Feng to give Su Feng a gesture of worship.

On the sidelines, Duncan, who was holding his head and a little at a loss, said to the people around him, "This is unscientific!"

Kobe, who was still carrying the camera a second ago, had now dropped the camera on his shoulder.

After walking to Su Feng's side and bumping chests with Su Feng, an excited Kobe roared to the audience: "Did you see that, this is my omnipotent high school classmate!"

"I can't believe my eyes.

Go home! Go home, everyone!

Ladies and gentlemen, this year's dunk contest is over!"

Twenty years from now, many young fans will always be very confused as to why their fathers always have this and that problem on their knees.

However, for the people who witnessed Su Feng's dunk...

How could this dunk not ruin your knees?

In the stands, Jordan, feeling as if he had been shot in the chest with an arrow, knew...

From this moment on, the NBA would no longer have legends about his free-throw line dunks.

Because the old god had abdicated, and the new god had already ascended the throne.

"Huh? You just said... this is just an appetizer?"

On the scene, when the host excitedly walked to Su Feng's side for an interview, he got an answer that made him go crazy.

Because...

After completing a 360-degree free-throw line dunk, Su Feng actually said that this was just tonight's appetizer?

"Of course, you don't think Vince and I only prepared these two simple dunks, do you?" Su Feng pointed to Carter on the bench and smiled.

Host: "..."

Fans at the scene: "..."

Fans in front of the TV: "..."
