Silently Writing
Chapter 524 Pedestrian and Astounding!
On the court, after warming up, Chris "Birdman" Andersen from the Denver Nuggets was the first to appear.
As a former CBA star, Chinese fans at this time were no strangers to Andersen.
In the 1999/00 season, Andersen successfully gained the favor of the Jiangsu Nangang team through a training camp opportunity, thus beginning his "rags to riches" journey.
In the early stages of his career, Andersen, whose basic skills were quite lacking, even struggled to get playing time in the CBA.
However, fortunately, the coaches of the Jiangsu team did not give up on him because of this.
As a result, through the skills and mentality honed in the CBA, Andersen quickly entered the sights of the Nuggets scouts after returning to the United States.
And after that, he began his 15-year NBA career.
In the future, there would be many more examples like "Birdman" returning to capitalism to dominate after receiving a socialist baptism.
For example, Hassan Whiteside, who used to play for the NBL's Jiangsu Tongxi team.
For example, Michael Beasley, who was once described by McGrady as "he has all the talent in the world, but doesn't know how to use it."
It's a pity that, in this life, when Andersen landed in the CBA, Hu Weidong happened to be playing in the NBA...
Therefore, the protagonist of the story in Su Feng's memory, where Andersen was scared by Hu Weidong's blindfolded three-pointer, was also changed from Old Hu to Liu Yudong.
According to Andersen, he revealed to Su Feng before the game tonight that it was a CBA game between the Jiangsu team and the Bayi team.
Because he heard that this team had dominated the Chinese basketball scene in the past few years, Andersen, who had always been competitive, brought his translator to the Bayi team's half and asked, "Who is the best here?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yudong smiled at Andersen and then, from half a meter away from the three-point line, closed his eyes and made three consecutive three-pointers.
Andersen: "......"
This...
Is this the legendary socialist cannon?
Andersen, who had various connections with the CBA, will be temporarily set aside.
On the court, after Andersen finished his performance with a 40-point spinning reverse dunk, it was the defending champion Jason Richardson's turn to play.
If it were in previous competitions, Richardson, as the defending champion, would definitely be arranged as the finale.
But because the last two players in tonight's slam dunk contest final were more famous than the other...
So Richardson didn't have any objections to being arranged to play second.
In Su Feng's previous life, as a famous top dunker in the NBA during this period, many people said that if Carter's performance in 2000 hadn't been so amazing, then Richardson would have been remembered by more people.
However, Su Feng didn't agree with this view.
Because in Su Feng's eyes, Richardson wasn't forgotten because of Carter...
He was purely forgotten because he was too anxious in terms of dunk creativity.
Admittedly, Richardson had left many wonderful performances in the slam dunk contest.
But with his physical qualities, he could have done better.
Look, this isn't it...
As soon as he appeared, Richardson, who jumped from behind the backboard, completed a "lackluster" straight-up dunk.
On the judging panel, Pippen, Drexler, and others who were responsible for being judges this year, only gave Richardson's dunk 9 points.
"Since he can jump so high, why doesn't he add a windmill when dunking to get the ball in?" On the sidelines, in the audience, Kobe looked at McGrady with a puzzled face and asked.
Upon hearing this, McGrady looked at Kobe with an expression of "you ask me, who do I ask."
"You have the nerve to complain about Jason? Think about your ideas when you won the championship that year!
Even if I use my feet to dunk, I can dunk better than you!" Carter said to Kobe with a look of disdain.
Kobe: "......"
In fact, in this life, with Su Feng's help, Kobe's dunk that year when he won the championship was already quite impressive.
But...
If judged by Carter's standards for dunking, it did seem to be a bit lacking.
And the Staples Center...
After two "lackluster" appetizers, the atmosphere in the arena, which had been doused with cold water, finally started to heat up with the appearance of LeBron James.
At this time, Stern was also nervously rubbing his hands back and forth in the stands.
On the court, James specially invited a guest when he was preparing to play.
And when the fans took a closer look...
Wow, that's great!
Isn't that the little guy who used to play one-on-one with Su Feng and Carter before the game?
Son of former Hornets and Raptors legend Dell Curry.
Stephen Curry.
On TNT, Barkley said, "I'm curious, what kind of dunk will LeBron use to challenge Su?"
And Smith on the side said, "Believe me, even if Superman comes, he can't be Su's opponent."
As a result, Smith's words had just fallen a second ago...
The next second, on the court, James started taking off his clothes.
"Dude! You should definitely buy a lottery ticket! You've won the jackpot tonight!"
After seeing James' outfit under his jersey, Barkley immediately climaxed.
Before the game, because James had shown him his various "tomahawk" ideas during the warm-up...
So in order not to let this slam dunk contest completely become his one-man show, Su Feng had to take out a book called "Dunk Creativity" and give Little Zhan Zhan some guidance on the spot.
To be fair...
The NBA stars of this era really can't compare to White Chocolate's toes in terms of dunk creativity.
No...
LeBron...
You don't think you can compete with me with four explosive tomahawks, do you?
Seriously, not to mention himself...
In Su Feng's opinion, James' four equally "lackluster" dunks might not even pass Richardson's level.
Therefore, looking at James, while helping him improve his tomahawk dunk, Su Feng said, "Do you like Superman?
Why don't you Cosplay Superman tonight? I feel like your tomahawk dunk really goes well with Superman."
Upon hearing this, although he felt that the scene would be very awkward and cheesy when he thought about it...
But as an existence who had danced awkwardly on the ESPN awards ceremony a lot in his early career, under Su Feng's temptation, at this moment, how could James hold back his idol baggage?
Stop pretending, Little Zhan Zhan, reveal your true face!
As the saying goes, a person is not cheesy in vain when he is young.
Staples Center, LeBron James tonight is finally living like a 19-year-old boy!
In the center of the field, after revealing the Superman costume he had temporarily bought, James instantly detonated the audience!
And CCTV, after seeing this scene, Director Zhang also smiled and said, "Wow, that's great, does this mean that Su Feng has to defeat the American Superman to win the championship again tonight?"
Yu Jia, who was commentating with Director Zhang, smiled and said, "Even if it's the American Superman, he has to admit defeat in front of China's Daluo Jinxian!" (Great Immortal)
And this time, Su Feng didn't hear the commentary from Zhang and Yu.
Otherwise, he would definitely sigh...
So, there are such benefits to letting James wear a Superman costume to dunk?
First, beheading the American Basketball God, and then chopping the American Basketball Superman?
Wonderful, Yuanfang!
On the court, amidst the cheers of the fans, Little Zhan Zhan, who was wearing a Superman cape with Curry's help, then completed a wonderful alley-oop tomahawk dunk with Curry!
In terms of height and strength, James' tomahawk dunk was impeccable.
Although it was still "lackluster" in terms of creativity, after putting on the Superman robe, the atmosphere at Staples Center had been completely driven up.
It's a pity that on the judging panel, the two famous honey Pippen and Drexler only gave James' dunk 9 points.
"I have to admit, LeBron is really cool tonight.
But guys, you know, in a slam dunk contest with Su participating, I have to score according to Su's standards," Pippen said in an interview with the host.
"My reason is the same as Scottie's. So for this dunk, in my heart, I can only give LeBron 9 points," Drexler echoed on the side.
However, with 48 points in the first dunk, as long as James doesn't make a mistake in the second dunk, it will be difficult for Richardson to surpass him.
Therefore, in the stands, Stern also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know who gave LeBron the idea. In this way, even if he loses tonight, he will become the focus of people's discussion after the game," Stern silently sighed in his heart.
And on the scene...
Without any warning.
The fans who were still dozing off and chatting with their partners before suddenly seemed to have changed.
Young man, have you ever seen the scene of "heaven and earth cracking"?
Staples, along with the appearance of that man, on February 21, 2004, all the fans present personally felt what it meant to be "earth-shattering."
A hurricane, swept from Florida, arrived in Toronto in an instant!
An earthquake, centered in Los Angeles, instantly made New York, thousands of kilometers away, feel a strong tremor!
It's Su Feng's turn to play!
On the sidelines, Iverson, who was still dozing off on Yao Ming's shoulder, had already rushed to the baseline with a camera.
And Garnett, who was originally discussing with Duncan whether the high-post jump shot should be a bank shot or a swish, also pulled Duncan to squat behind the basket where Su Feng was preparing to dunk.
Looking around, Kenny Smith shouted to the fans like a big star attending a concert: "Get ready, earthlings!
Let's welcome the 'extraterrestrial visitor' together!"
Whoosh——!
On the court, after taking a deep breath, Su Feng smiled and grabbed the ball with one hand, looking at Brady and saying, "Tom, would you mind doing me a favor?"
Upon hearing this, Brady smiled after touching his big pectoral muscles, "It will be my honor, Your Majesty."
Under the basket, after standing still with the ball according to Su Feng's instructions, Brady felt that he was too lucky.
Because what kind of experience is this close-range OB that ordinary people can get?
And about a few seconds later...
Brady found that he was still thinking too much.
Because...
Even he, who was closest to Su Feng when he dunked, couldn't see what Su Feng had done at that moment!
Sprint!
Take off!
Grab the ball with your left hand!
Change hands under the buttocks!
The right arm embraces the moon!
The forearm disappears into the hoop!
Staples, if you were to ask the fans present what their most intuitive feeling was at this moment...
Then they would definitely tell you:
Is this something that carbon-based organisms can do?
On the judging panel, without exception, the five judges tonight had already raised their 10-point cards even before the slow motion.
And with the slow-motion replay on the scene...
After re-appreciating Su Feng's performance just now frame by frame, on TNT, Barkley sighed, "This competition is over!"
On the sidelines, watching Su Feng, who was being punched in the chest by Iverson, McGrady shook his head repeatedly and said, "So I said long ago...
No matter what you want to do, never choose to challenge Su and Vince in the field of dunking."
"No, I don't see it that way, Tracy."
And Kobe, after patting McGrady on the shoulder, said, "Be confident, remove Vince."
Carter: "......"
Staples Center, after Su Feng's dunk, the fans on the scene felt that they had got their money's worth.
In the second round, Chris Andersen, knowing that he had been treated as a clown tonight, quickly ended all his performances tonight with a smash-and-catch dunk.
And then, Richardson, who was in no mood to fight, didn't use the smash-and-change-hand dunk that he would have originally gotten 50 points for in Su Feng's memory.
Because in Richardson's opinion, the actions he had carefully designed before the game seemed so pale in front of Su Feng's first dunk.
Fortunately, as long as I'm not awkward, it's other people's awkwardness Little Zhan Zhan has completely let himself go tonight.
In the second dunk, he continued to increase the difficulty of his tomahawk dunk.
This time, Curry threw him a super long alley-oop from the audience.
And after getting the ball in the air, James, who took off one step before the free throw line, also violently dunked the ball into the basket.
With a total of 97 points in two dunks, James has secured a place in the final.
And on the court, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Su Feng once again invited Tom Brady.
In order to make up for the regret that Brady didn't see his dunk just now, after letting Brady stand under the basket with the ball facing the hoop, Su Feng guaranteed to him, "Trust me, Tom, this dunk will definitely be more exciting than the one just now!"
Upon hearing this, Brady nodded straightforwardly.
As a result...
A few seconds later, looking at Su Feng whistling past his head...
Brady always felt that he had been tricked.
Because from this angle, how could he possibly see Su Feng's dunk?
Run-up.
Take off.
Fly, grab the ball.
Crotch change hands, straight arm disappears into the hoop!
At the moment Su Feng landed, at this moment, the fans at Staples Center hated that they only had two knees!
Because where are two knees enough to kneel?
On the judging panel, Pippen had left his seat and went to the corner to squat and draw circles.
And when the host asked him why he didn't stay on the judging panel, Pippen said, "In my opinion, if God divided basketball talent into ten parts, then Su alone would occupy 9 parts."
Without any suspense, Su Feng's dunk also got a perfect score of 50 points.
And at this time, on the scene, Iverson and others also said in interviews that the NBA should ban players like Su Feng from participating in the slam dunk contest in the future.
Otherwise, this competition really won't last long.
"I can compete with Su in any field, but dunking and cooking are the only two fields I won't challenge him in," Kobe said in an interview with reporters.
On the scene, after the preliminaries, before the start of the final, the focus of the fans has changed from who will win between Su Feng and James, to what kind of performance Su Feng will bring in the final.
And it is worth mentioning that after James ended his first dunk performance in the final with his third soaring tomahawk, an interesting scene also occurred on the sidelines.
That is, Brady refused to be the "holder" responsible for holding the ball for Su Feng again.
"No, no, I spent money to see you perform!
But the first two times, I didn't even know how you dunked it in...
So this time, you should find someone else!" After giving Su Feng a no gesture, Brady made up his mind that even if Su Feng could fool him again tonight, he would definitely not leave the audience.
And at this time...
After shaking his head regretfully, Su Feng had to invite his good buddy Kobe and two hot Lakers cheerleaders.
Brady: "......"
Damn it!
No...
You were going to invite girls, so why didn't you say so earlier?
In the audience, looking at Kobe, who was sandwiched between two Lakers cheerleaders, at this moment, who says LSPs have no borders?
There's no way, because the cheerleaders are not tall enough, so in order to highlight the excitement of this moment, Su Feng must find a strong man to stand in the middle to hold the ball.
And on the court, just when the fans on the scene and in front of the TV were very curious about why Su Feng would let two Lakers cheerleaders line up with Kobe under the basket...
A few seconds later...
On the sidelines, stroking Little Curry's head, Little Zhan Zhan said with tears streaming down his face, "Stephen... do you still firmly believe that Su defeated Vince in the slam dunk contest back then because the judges' scores were not fair enough?"
Curry: "......"
Run-up!
Take off!
Catch the ball!
Fly over!
Windmill arm hang!
What is violent aesthetics?
On February 21, 2004, Su Feng used White Chocolate's three ideas, combined with his body that was more explosive than White Chocolate's, to tell the world...
It turns out that dunking can also be played like this!
On the scene, when entering the final dunk, on TNT, Smith and Barkley had a dispute.
Because Little Zhan Zhan only got 45 points in the second dunk of the final, so with the sum of his two dunks in the final being only 89 points, Su Feng only needs to dunk 40 points in the last dunk to win the championship.
"We all know that Su and Vince have promised that they will bring us another 'battle of the century' next year or the year after.
So in my opinion, Su should save his creativity for the competition with Vince.
His first three dunks tonight have been exciting enough, he doesn't need to waste his creativity when he has already locked in the championship," Smith analyzed rationally.
And on the side, listening to Smith's analysis, Barkley shook his head repeatedly.
"Impossible! As a perfectionist, Su will never hold back in any competition.
Even if we all know that the All-Star slam dunk contest is just an entertainment event, he will definitely go all out!"
In the stands, in fact, Stern was satisfied enough when the slam dunk contest had progressed to this point.
In the final, knowing that he was no match for Su Feng, James successfully used his unrestrained awkward dance to give Su Feng a full warm-up before blowing up the arena.
And in this way, people will not discuss the outcome of this slam dunk contest too much afterward.
Because based on the relationship between James and Su Feng, people will naturally think that James is "deliberately" being a foil for Su Feng.
So, in fact, Stern also hoped that if Su Feng really had more exciting dunks, then he had better save them for when he competes with Carter next time.
However...
Just like Barkley said, no matter what the competition, Su Feng will definitely go all out.
And...
Maybe Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine's creativity will run out one day...
But as for his White Chocolate's creativity...
Seriously, even if Su Feng participates in 10 consecutive slam dunk contests, he may not be able to completely replicate all the tricks that White Chocolate has done.
As the saying goes, there are masters among the people.
On the court, under the expectations of nearly 20,000 fans at Staples Center, Su Feng once again invited four hot Lakers cheerleaders.
And at this time...
Brady got anxious at the time.
"Su, let me cooperate with you in this dunk and draw a perfect ending to your performance tonight!" Looking at Su Feng, Brady smiled.
Upon hearing this, Su Feng said to Brady with a helpless expression, "Sorry, Tom, this dunk... because I have to glide for a distance, your height is a bit too high."
Brady: "......"
Uh...
To be fair, it's not that Su Feng doesn't treat Brady as a brother.
But when practicing the fourth dunk in the final before the game, Su Feng found that if he used players who were too tall, he would easily touch their bodies when falling.
And in this way, the viewing pleasure of this dunk would be greatly reduced.
After all, even the most awesome basketball player has to follow Newton's "Basic Law of Terrestrial Gravitation."
On the court, after being ready, looking at the cheerleader girls standing under the basket with their backs to him, in order to take care of the LSPs all over the world, and himself, an LSP, Su Feng deliberately stayed at the baseline for a few more seconds.
It's a pity...
The cameraman tonight turned out to be a guy who likes to eat alone!
In the face of the welfare perspective provided by Su Feng, this guy only cared about enjoying himself.
And a few seconds later, accompanied by the exclamations from the cheerleader girls under the basket...
Tonight, the Staples Center was completely blown up by Su Feng from the inside out!
Run up from the baseline.
Take off when approaching the first cheerleader girl.
Fly over the heads of the four cheerleader girls.
Grab the ball, glide.
No looking back at the moon.
All there is is...
Scorpion tail!
When landing, with Su Feng's Bolt's signature move...
Tonight, the basketball world is destined to be sleepless!
On TNT, Charles Barkley exclaimed, "This is Su! He never lets you down!
On this night, he used 4 great dunks to prove to us that as long as he is in the NBA slam dunk contest, even if the tickets are sold at a higher price, you will not lose!"
On the court, Kobe and Iverson were responsible for lifting the upper body and the lower body, respectively.
Then, after NBA stars joined in one after another...
Su Feng was thrown up by this group of people like this.
On the judging panel, Pippen and Drexler were the first to raise the 10-point cards.
Four dunks with perfect scores.
On this night full of "lackluster"...
The "amazing" Su Feng, in this way, sounded the air raid alarm throughout North America!
And quoting the words of a famous crosstalk commentator many years later:
Su Feng tonight can be described as... quite explosive!
……
ps: 6300-word chapter is here! This chapter has matching pictures for Su Feng's four dunks, continue to beg for monthly tickets, subscriptions, and recommendation tickets!
ps2: The reward testimonial will be postponed for one day, because Qiao has been pondering how to describe this complex scene in a relatively concise way today! (Request for monthly tickets again!)
