The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 502 magic
On February 6, 1988, the NBA became more popular than any other sport in the world.
In an exhibition game that doesn't even count as a proper basketball game, it's amazing.
Today there are two interesting individual competitions, the three-point contest and the dunk contest.
In the three-point contest, the Knicks' Ellis played abnormally, and Wilson became the background of Bird's classic trash talk.
In the locker room, Bird yelled at everyone: "Which one of you will fight for second?"
In the final, Bird went up to vote without even taking off his jacket. The last lore goal, before he hit it, he had already raised his hand that marked victory to celebrate his championship.
Not surprisingly, he hit the ball.
This kind of performance that will be talked about by future generations is just for the slam dunk contest.
In this day and age, if you're an adult fan, people ask you who's the best player. People on the east coast will say Larry Bird, and people on the west coast will say Magic, adding that Bird won Magic so many times not because he is better, but because he has Sampson and Thomas.
If you ask a kid who likes basketball regardless of region, who is the strongest player?
His answer must be Michael Jordan.
In order to defend his own statement, to refute those who say that Jordan is not as good as Magic and Bird to drive his teammates, the children will say that their voices are hoarse. They will say that Drexler is not as good as Thomas, Nance is no fart in front of Sampson, the magician himself is a loser, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilkins can't beat the Celtics.
Tonight, the world watched him take off, sticking his tongue out in the air in a freakish way, his stunning gold necklace bouncing around his neck, his body as if flying.
Everyone who claims Bird and Magic are the best basketball players starts to doubt themselves at this point.
It was just a slam dunk contest, just like the Beatles' appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 was just a show. It produced not one but two iconic photos, accelerated the most successful ad campaign in sports history and signaled the beginning of a new era in the NBA ruled by a new king.
No matter how many years pass by, tonight will never fade, and in the memory of this generation, Jordan will always be 24, suspended under the scoreboard of the no-nonsense Chicago stadium, frozen in time, flying through the air , dunking gracefully.
The atmosphere first settles and everyone takes their seats. Then the show begins.
The slam dunk contest at this time has its own formula, and everyone's ideas are very similar.
For example, in the first buckle, a large number of backhand buckles and backhand folding buckles appeared.
How many tricks can be played on this depends on the players themselves.
The Cavaliers' Greg Anderson (GregAndersonCPF) came up with an uninspired self-throwing and self-receiving weak two-handed back dunk.
That's it?
An old friend of Knicks fans, Spot Webb was once the champion of this event, but now, the protagonist is obviously not him.
It's nice when little guys challenge geniuses, but this time he's facing the best dunker ever.
Weber made the audience applaud him with a tight button.
After learning that Jordan and Dominique were participating, he resolutely decided to sign up. This courage alone deserves applause.
Jordan made the audience boil with a sideways sickle dunk that made the audience boil.
That's the intensity, that's the different levels.
"MJ made the first two contestants look so awkward," Lorraine said.
Louis and his family are watching the game in front of the TV, even Li Xuanbing is watching.
"Won't the basket break like this?" Li Xuanbing asked.
No one answered, and everyone was fascinated by it.
Jordan's dunk scored 47 points.
Drexler, on his heels, is another focus.
He came up with a fly in the ointment gliding windmill split buckle, which is Wilkins' specialty, he obviously does not have the visual impact of the latter.
This dunk only allowed him to score 44 points, and then, he was one of the focus of the audience.
Wilkins came on the court and announced who was the protagonist with a reflexive double-folding heavy buckle.
The preliminaries became no suspense, and both Jordan and Wilkins entered the finals.
Except for no crotch, Jordan and Wilkins tried every move that contemporary dunkers can think of.
The atmosphere of the scene increased one by one, and Jordan's free throw line dunk from a 93-foot dribble came.
That's why tonight is so remembered that, years later, few remember Bird's three-peat in the 3-point contest.
Just like Kobe scored 60 points in the last game of his career, making the Warriors' 73 wins look nothing more than that.
Two extremely exciting individual events laid the foundation for the All-Star Game.
But Louis didn’t watch it after that. He wasn’t interested in the main game. He only knew that Barkley won 40+ and the Eastern Stars won. Naturally, AMVP also belongs to the representative of the host country. This is an old rule.
Louis feels that this rule is very good. It gives the owner face and makes the fans happy. Anyway, when the historical status is used in the future, no fans will give you a place because you have AMVP.
AMVP is like the best rookie of the year, an honor that looks powerful but is actually of little use.
As soon as the All-Star weekend is over, the league has also moved from the early and middle stages of the regular season to the late stage.
Each team has nearly 13 regular-season games left to play, but most can see their finish line in sight.
Some teams have mediocre records, such as the Bulls and the Sonics.
Currently, the Bulls rank tenth from the bottom in the league, and the Sonics rank ninth from the bottom.
The thing to know is ~www.mtlnovel.com~ With two expansion teams coming in this year, the lottery pool has deepened. There used to be seven lottery teams; now there are nine. That is to say, there are nine teams drawing lots this year, but the expansion team is not allowed to draw the top five picks.
In other words, if they draw the top five picks, then they have to give up this position and turn it into the sixth pick.
This kind of way of taking off their pants and farting is only thought of by those snobby bosses.
If you want Louis to say that you don’t want to give them too high a draft pick, you just assume that they are the eighth and ninth picks, and it’s over. Why let them participate in the lottery?
But this matter is not in Louis' hands, and he is too lazy to care about it. Now he can only cheer for the Bulls and the Sonics.
Because the Sonics and the Bulls' first-round picks this year (both with top-three protections) are in the hands of the Knicks. Louis doesn't expect another big gift package like the Cavaliers. Well, the 6-9 picks are acceptable, or the 10-15 picks are fine.
Who doesn't know that the 13th and 15th positions are magical.
