Wei Guo won both the Three-Point Contest and the Skills Challenge.
He is also the first player in history to do this, mainly because the Skills Challenge is a new event this year.
In the words of a star player on the sidelines, this is really cool.
When Wei Guo won the Three-Point Contest, he didn't rush to accept the award. Instead, he told the organizers that he would wait until after the Skills Challenge.
Now...
Wei Guo holds a three-point shooting contest championship trophy in his left hand and a skills challenge championship trophy in his right.
"I will no longer participate in these two competitions; opportunities should be given to other players."
However... I still hope someone can break my records in the Three-Point Contest and the Skills Challenge.
Wei Guo humbly delivered his acceptance speech.
This left all the players on the sidelines speechless. How could Wei Guo break these two records?
The Skills Challenge record of 22.7 seconds is theoretically still possible to break, but a perfect score in the Three-Point Contest can only be tied. How can it be broken?
........
Next up is the Slam Dunk Contest, which is the most anticipated event besides the All-Star Game.
This year's dunk contest participants are all top-tier players: Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant, Josh Richardson, and Wei Guo.
Kobe is the youngest dunk champion in league history.
Carter was the 2000 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest champion, and his amazing jumping ability and hang time made his dunks aesthetically pleasing.
Richardson is a young athlete with strong running and jumping abilities.
As for Wei Guo, although he only played for one and a half seasons, he often easily completed free throw line dunks in games, and Wei Guo is also the biggest favorite to win this year's dunk contest.
The dunk contest is about to begin.
The atmosphere at the scene...
Program ratings...
They all reached their peak.
The dunk contest is also divided into preliminary rounds and finals. Each player completes two dunks in the preliminary rounds and finals, and is scored by five judges. The scores from the two dunks are added together, and the two players with the highest total scores advance to the finals.
The judging panel for this year's Slam Dunk Contest is truly impressive, led by "Air Jordan" Michael Jordan, with the other four judges being "The Human Highlight Film" Dominique Wilkins, "Spud" Webber, "The Glide" Clyde Drexler, and "Shaq" O'Neal.
...
This time, Wei Guo was the first to appear.
It was a bit cold, so Wei Guo put on a long-sleeved sports shirt and trousers after the skills challenge.
"Bro, if you dunk here, I'll give you a perfect score!"
Jordan pointed to a spot one step back from the free-throw line, signaling Wei Guo to dunk over his free-throw line.
Dunking from the free-throw line is difficult for other players, but it's too easy for Wei Guo. After all, Wei Guo has completed free-throw line dunks in actual games more than once. So Jordan wasn't pointing to the free-throw line, but rather a step back from the free-throw line.
Wei Guo glanced at Jordan and nodded, "Okay!"
Then...
Wei Guo had Francis draw a red line behind the free-throw line.
The red line is still half a meter away from the free-throw line, almost at the top of the penalty area. Everyone can see what Wei Guo is trying to do at a glance.
"Oh my god~~~"
The host asked in surprise, "Does Wei Guo want to dunk here?"
The distance from the free throw line to the basket is about 4.3 meters. Wei Guo then drew a red line more than half a meter behind it, making the distance from the red line to the basket a full five meters.
You should know...
According to FIBA standards, the distance from the three-point line to the basket is only a little over six meters.
All the fans in the stadium stood up!
Wei Guo walked to the opposite corner wearing long clothes and trousers. The host reminded him, "Brother Wei, you haven't taken off your coat yet."
"No need~"
Wei Guo waved his hand lightly, then dribbled straight towards the opposite basket.
Stepping on the red line, Wei Guo felt as if his legs were springy, and he suddenly sprang up, gliding gracefully through the air.
"Bang!!!"
One-handed dunk!!!
Wei Guo easily completed the longest dunk in history.
“w(?Д?)w”
“w(?Д?)w”
“w(?Д?)w”
The scene instantly erupted in cheers!
Jordan and the other five judges excitedly raised their "10 points" signs.
50 points!!!
Wei Guo's first dunk earned a perfect score.
"Awesome!"
Francis was the first to rush onto the field and celebrate with Wei Guo by bumping chests.
"I feel like we could go even further..."
Wei Guo muttered something under his breath.
Wei Guo's dunk only took him further away from the basket.
Another point is that he was wearing long sleeves and pants, which would have affected Wei Guo's jumping ability and movements, but he still managed to complete the dunk with ease.
......
Richardson was the second to appear.
I think I'll go home!
Richardson slapped his forehead. "What am I even here for?"
Richardson's first dunk involved walking to the corner, tossing the ball towards the basket, then rushing towards it, catching the ball in mid-air, and completing a crossover dunk.
"Bang!!!"
A reverse dunk completes the dunk!
This move is difficult because Richardson switches hands under his crotch on the same side. After completing the move, Richardson points both fingers to the sky, and you can see that he is very excited.
Jordan: 9 points!
Wilkins: 8 points!
Drexler: 9 points!
O'Neal: 7 points!
Weber: 10 points!
This dunk was equally spectacular, but with Wei Guo's outstanding performance preceding it, the judges didn't give it a very high score; O'Neal only gave it 7 points.
43 points!!!
Richardson scored 43 points on his first spike.
........
The third to appear was Kobe.
Kobe slammed the ball against the side of the basket, caught it in mid-air, and then glided down it with a reverse dunk.
46 points!!!
This dunk was just as difficult as Richardson's dunk just now.
and...
Both Kobe and Richardson had one successful shot, but Kobe scored slightly more, with the extra 3 points coming from O'Neal. O'Neal gave Richardson 7 points and Kobe 10 points.
........
The fourth person to appear was Carter.
Both Carter and Weiguo are favorites to win this year's Slam Dunk Contest. One of the reasons Weiguo didn't register for the contest last year was that Carter didn't participate.
The opponent is too weak...
Winning would be dishonorable.
After a brief warm-up, Carter walked to the vicinity of the 45-degree three-point line, dribbled for two steps, and jumped.
A 360-degree turn in mid-air!
One-handed windmill!
"Bang!!!"
The basketball was slammed into the hoop.
This is Carter's classic dunk from the 2000 All-Star Game, which earned him another Slam Dunk Contest win this year.
The movements remain fluid, a fusion of violence and aesthetics.
10 points!
10 points!
10 points!
10 points!
10 points!
The judges also gave this penalty a perfect score of 10.
........
Next, we'll prepare for the second dunk. If Wei Guo can still get a perfect score on the second dunk...
He will be the first to enter the finals...
While the judges were still guessing what move Wei Guo would use to dunk, they saw the staff bring out another basketball hoop and place it next to the standard basketball hoop.
