Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1078 The Strongest Dunk King in History!
Tang Tian stood up.
His expression was still the same as it was at the beginning of the dunk contest: calm and composed.
Even after LaVine's incredible dunk.
But after LaVine's dunk, he made a change.
He gave up all the other moves he had prepared and brought his trump card to this moment.
It was time to decide the outcome.
When Tang Tian stepped onto the court, everyone in the arena fell silent in unison.
Including Barkley and the others at the commentary booth.
Although the hope was slim, everyone was eager to see what kind of dunk Tang Tian would pull out in the end.
Based on Tang Tian's dunk choices tonight, he would definitely choose the most difficult one.
Tang Tian walked onto the court.
But when they saw where he was going, the fans couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Because they saw Tang Tian heading towards the three-point line, not the mid-court.
In other words, Tang Tian's dunk wasn't from the free-throw line!
But this was also expected.
The 360° free-throw line dunk was already the limit of human ability. No matter how strong Tang Tian was, he couldn't possibly come up with a new trick from that distance.
But if it wasn't from the free-throw line, the difficulty of the dunk would drop a level.
Sure enough, LaVine's dunk had already made the outcome of the competition a foregone conclusion.
LaVine would win this epic dunk contest and become the strongest dunker in history!
Tang Tian walked to the three-point line, estimated the distance, and then walked back to the three-point line.
His expression also became serious.
He would give it his all for this trump card dunk.
After adjusting his breathing, he started to run with the ball.
He took off about three meters away from the basket and started to spin.
The disappointment in the eyes of the fans in the arena deepened.
Another 360?
It seemed like there was really no chance.
"Bang!"
The ball was slammed into the basket.
The arena erupted.
That dunk was a little different from the 360, but it was too fast and they couldn't see it clearly.
The judges were the same, everyone unconsciously looked at the LED screen.
With the experience of the opening dunks of each team, everyone knew that some dunks couldn't just be judged by the first impression.
This was especially true for the five judges.
In such an epic showdown, they had to be very careful with their final scores.
The LED screen in the arena showed a replay of Tang Tian's dunk just now.
By the time the replay was shown, the cheers in the arena were completely overwhelming.
Because Tang Tian didn't complete a 360° dunk, he completed a 720° dunk!
Because the movement was too fast, not only the human eye, but even the cameras on site couldn't keep up!
Only through slow motion could people see his complete dunk!
A 360-degree turn, followed by another 360-degree turn!
This was simply a superhuman dunk!
A 720° dunk was a legend, not just in the NBA, but on the streets.
Even with the development of information technology, there were almost no people who could complete this dunk!
If LaVine's dunk was a challenge to the difficulty of human dunking, then this dunk was a challenge to the limits of human ability!
After the fans reacted, the cheers were completely unstoppable.
They thought that no dunk could surpass or even come close to LaVine's free-throw line 360.
But the fact proved that there was!
Tang Tian's dunk and LaVine's free-throw line 360 were definitely in the same level, or even exceeded it!
If LaVine's dunk was 50 points, then Tang Tian's dunk was definitely also 50 points!
"Now let us announce the real dunk king!"
Barkley once again admitted to being wrong, and stood up to cheer for Tang Tian.
50 points.
The judges quickly gave their scores.
LaVine's first dunk in overtime did have deductions, but Tang Tian's two dunks didn't!
When the score of 50 was given, the final result was already out.
After an overtime, Tang Tian defeated LaVine 100-99 and became the dunk king of the 2018 NBA dunk contest.
This was the second time in his career that he had won the dunk king!
"Godfather! Godfather!"
The fans in the arena also took the initiative to roar for Tang Tian.
They, like Barkley, admitted to being wrong!
In the end, they still underestimated Tang Tian!
LaVine was strong, unbelievably strong.
But Tang Tian was even stronger. He not only did a dunk of the same difficulty as LaVine, but also with zero mistakes!
In this epic confrontation, Tang Tian became the final dunk king!
The real strongest dunk king in history!
Tang Tian greeted the cheers of the fans and waved to them.
LaVine also came over to congratulate Tang Tian at this time.
He thought he had won with that dunk, but Tang Tian was really stronger than him.
He lost convincingly.
Dr. J went down to the court and presented Tang Tian with this year's dunk king trophy.
Tang Tian raised the trophy high, winning the long-lasting cheers from the arena.
After that, he took the microphone from the host and gave his acceptance speech.
"I used to say that a good game is completed by both sides, and tonight is the same.
Vince, Aaron, Zach, tonight's game cannot be separated from their excellent performance."
Tang Tian's speech had his personal style, and it also drew cheers from the arena.
"Especially Zach, I have to say, he is the strongest opponent I have ever met.
If someone had told me before that they could complete a 360° dunk from the free-throw line, I would have thought he was crazy, but Zach did it.
In fact, I think if Zach's overtime dunk hadn't failed once, I believe we would have kept dunking until the other side was too tired to continue.
If that were the case, you might have been able to watch for an hour or two."
Tang Tian focused on mentioning LaVine.
This was a compliment, and also a kind of demeanor.
LaVine dunked very beautifully, but in fact, Tang Tian was the one who won in the end.
There was a burst of whistles and cheers in the arena. Tang Tian sometimes grasped American humor very well.
"I would also like to thank all the fans who came to the arena. Your support has always been the biggest motivation for our games."
Tang Tian also thanked the fans as always in the end.
"Finally, I have prepared a gift for a little fan, his name is Angela Alexander."
As Tang Tian spoke, he handed the microphone to a staff member next to him, and then started to take off his shoes.
The audience was very puzzled.
They were curious about who this child named Alexander was, and they were also curious about why Tang Tian was taking off his shoes.
After Tang Tian took off his shoes, he asked the staff to find a signature pen, signed his autograph on them, and wrote a sentence.
"You are an angel."
The camera focused on Tang Tian when he was signing.
By the time he finished signing, the arena had already boiled over.
No one had ever bought Tang Tian's signature version of the collaboration sneakers, but Tang Tian made a pair himself!
This was the 11th pair, and also the first pair, and the most meaningful pair!
At this time, the camera found Alexander and his mother in the audience.
The mother was already in tears. She didn't expect the gift Tang Tian said would be this.
This was a gift that couldn't be measured by money!
