The 2000 dunk contest undoubtedly belonged to Vince Carter.
It was also that slam dunk contest that made Carter famous, brought back the slam dunk contest that had been suspended for two sessions, and saved the event.
In fact, Carter was not the only one in that slam dunk contest, everyone's overall level was not low.
It's just that Carter's shock is so strong that people ignore the equally powerful McGrady and Francis.
Therefore, for this slam dunk contest, Li Ang refused!
Going here is to be a green leaf for Carter and accompany the prince to study.
Years later, only the winners will be remembered.
Don't believe the words "you can make some money with your second place status", this is true, Li Ang will give you 9 points at most.
In the slam dunk contest, the champion doesn't necessarily have a sense of presence, and the loser doesn't even have a sense of presence.
Moreover, don't look at Li Ang's brutality in the game. Today he buckled Ewing and tomorrow he buckled Kemp.
But Li Ang basically hardens up and slaps inwardly. There are not many tricks and postures, and what he plays is a miracle with great strength.
He is a practical dunker.
If this is going to a competition, let alone Carter, Li Ang might not even be able to hold Francis down.
Participate in a slam dunk contest, and even the second child can't beat, so what else is there to play?
"No, no, I won't go." Li Ang shook his head frantically.
"No, no, I won't go either." McGrady shook her head.
Carter smiled and tugged the two of them: "Let's go, do you have the heart to watch me go to this kind of competition alone? Do you have the heart to watch me show off in front of a group of people?"
Sure enough, one of the three major hobbies of men - persuading women from good families to go into the water!
In the original history, Carter revealed in an interview that McGrady did not want to participate in the dunk contest.
Because he felt that it was pointless to fight against his cousin.
It was Carter who nagged McGrady all day long, and Maizi's agent also wanted him to participate in the dunk contest to increase his popularity.
The two of them rubbed hard and softly, and Maizi finally let go.
But now, Carter not only has to coax McGrady, but also has to coax Leon.
In order to run this New Century All-Star, Stern also took great pains.
This time, he plans to invite six talented young people to participate at one time, and arrange a dunk feast for the fans.
Since Stern issued the invitation, the media also began to reveal the list of entries after the restart of this year's slam dunk contest, which aroused the curiosity of the fans.
Ever since, when interviewed by reporters, people always come to ask Li Ang and McGrady if they will participate in the dunk contest.
For a time, Li Ang suspected that Stern had released the news himself!
? This is probably called the big tree attracting the wind. As the little emperor of Cleveland, sitting on the huge Chinese market, in the competition, there are various flying buckles, face buckles, and tomahawk buckles. Everyone is looking forward to the showdown between Li Ang and the ugly players.
This situation is exactly the same as when Mousse was invited to participate in the dunk contest!
At that time, Mousse's heart: Oh, you penetrated so deep, that guy is so damn good, although I am also very likable, but in case if I lose, my perfect rookie season will be defeated. ruined?
And Li Ang's current opponent is more brutal than the guy you penetrated deeply.
Although Li Ang is not afraid of losing, Li Ang is really not very interested in this kind of competition where he knows that it is difficult to win and the probability is to get the head.
As long as he has the possibility of defeating Carter, such as the "breakthrough dunk" attribute suddenly increased by more than ten points, and he can do fancy moves, then Li Ang is willing to try.
Even if there is only a 10% probability, Li Ang is willing to give it a go.
But at the moment, the probability of Li Ang winning the slam dunk contest is infinitely close to Artest's probability of beating Li Ang.
So, imitating the little emperor's tone, Li Ang told the reporter: "At this time of the year, I am on the sidelines about whether to participate in this kind of competition. Maybe people are already tired of it, but I really haven't made a decision yet. Decide."
The emperor's taste became more and more aggressive, James became more and more bald, and was almost finished by Li Ang.
It's not that I don't dare to participate, it's mainly because of this small game. As the team's main shooting guard, I can't spare time, so I have to think about it!
McGrady is more straightforward, saying that he does not want to confront Carter: "I just think that I am not the kind of creative dunker. Since I know Vince will win the championship, why should I join in the fun? I watch him dunk every day? The point.
A week ago at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit, at halftime, the 76ers trailed by 16 points. The team's discipline was lax and the defense was absent-minded. In the second quarter, the Pistons even dropped the point difference to 23 points.
Iverson had no intention of defending and hit the iron wantonly on the court, which disrupted the team's rhythm.
This touched the bottom line of Larry Brown's heart. He would rather lose than lose the defense.
Brown, who was about to collapse, told everyone: "If you don't cheer up, I will use the substitute lineup!"
Stubborn, he did what he said. After only 4 minutes in the second half, Brown replaced all the starters and let them sit until the end of the game.
Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Detroit reporters surrounded Iverson and asked him why he only played four minutes in the second half.
The true-tempered Iverson did not hide it: "My style does not seem to suit the team, and it seems that some changes need to be made. If I hurt the team, then I should leave. I don't like what happened here. .¡±
Larry Brown also called the 76ers president Pat Cross at night: "Take Iverson away, I can't coach him."
These two people have completely disclosed the contradiction.
Kroos had a conversation with the three of them in a hurry that night, which stabilized the emotions of both parties, which prevented the team from collapsing.
After this mediation, the relationship between the two parties has relatively eased.
Iverson is willing to listen to Brown, and Brown is willing to give Iverson some freedom.
So now Larry Brown needs to prove that the team can win by playing according to his ideas.
Therefore, this game against the Raptors will play a vital role in establishing his prestige in front of Iverson!
No matter what, he can't lose!
In order to deal with the three-headed dragon in Toronto, in order to be safe, Larry Brown even prepared a backup plan that he himself hoped he would never use
