Chapter 379 A King's Aura! The Chinese Youth Sitting on the Edge of the Backboard!
Soon the large screen began playing the replay.
It was only then that everyone realized that McClung had actually spun half a circle before he jumped.
In other words, this 540-degree turn was not sufficient and was very forced.
But for McCollum, who is only 188cm tall, this is already an incredibly explosive dunk.
The five judges then began to score.
50, 50, 50, 50, 49.
The first four judges all gave a perfect score of 50.
This score is not only an affirmation of the dunk, but also an affirmation of McCollum's efforts tonight.
After all, the person on the other side is Wang Xiucheng!
The only one to give 49 points was Ma Long, who had been giving low scores all night.
No one expressed any dissatisfaction with Malone.
Ma Long certainly deserves a perfect score as well.
Then give Michael Lang a chance to play a tiebreaker with Wang Xiucheng.
and then?
Then everyone will realize that there is still a level difference between Michael Lang and Wang Xiucheng.
This was not encouragement for McCroon, but ridicule!
Forcing him to be on the same level as Wang Xiucheng is a somewhat cruel thing for Mike Lang.
Everyone stood and applauded, giving the applause to Michael Lang and looking at Wang Xiucheng.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating what kind of dunk Wang Xiucheng will use to end today's game.
As for whether Wang Xiucheng will accidentally lose this match?
Nobody thought it would actually happen.
Wang Xiucheng stood up and hugged Durant, Green, Shen Jing, and the others who had been waiting beside him.
Durant patted Wang Xiucheng on the back twice with great force.
Then there's James, Davis, Curry, Doncic...
Even Jokic hid the Coke under his chair, stood up, and hugged Wang Xiucheng.
The applause continued, and gradually, it even developed into a rhythmic clapping.
Wang Xiucheng grabbed the basketball, slapped it across the hands of the celebrities on the sidelines, and walked to the sideline.
Stallone and his three daughters were all looking at Wang Xiucheng, who was standing not far away.
Stallone even shouted, "Get another perfect score, and you can pick one of my daughters."
The three women beside Stallone blushed slightly upon hearing this.
They had no way to deal with their outspoken father.
Wang Xiucheng heard it this time, after all, he was too close.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at Sylvester Stallone and pursed his lips.
This old man's words don't count, so I'll just stay silent!
But Wang Xiucheng still looked at his three daughters.
They are all quite beautiful and have great figures. It would be difficult to choose just one!
The timer had started, and the rhythmic applause grew faster and faster, like a torrential downpour hitting the floor of the stadium, making everyone's heart tremble.
Wang Xiucheng threw the basketball in his hand onto the floor, then dribbled it twice to adjust his rhythm.
Everyone knows that Wang Xiucheng is about to begin.
Wang Xiucheng suddenly looked up, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and started running from outside the sideline.
Wang Xiucheng didn't run in a straight line, but rather slowly ran in a curve.
So Wang Xiucheng reached the baseline, which was parallel to the basket, in almost two steps.
At this moment, Wang Xiucheng began to accelerate.
The applause finally erupted in a chaotic and intense burst, like a violent storm.
Wang Xiucheng finally reached the basket.
"Left hand?"
Some of the star players who were watching Wang Xiucheng shouted something subconsciously.
But they didn't have time to think anymore.
Wang Xiucheng ran along the baseline, then entered the field, and jumped when he reached the restricted area.
In an instant, Wang Xiucheng spun around, and at the same time, his hand holding the ball stretched out.
However, Wang Xiucheng was rotating in a direction that was slightly forward.
It was like a spinning top that had gone out of control, with almost its entire body spinning away from the basket.
"It's a back clasp!"
Someone shouted something.
But the next moment, gasps and gasps of surprise rang out from the audience.
Wang Xiucheng rushed in from outside the baseline, so after turning 360 degrees, he was facing the basket in the same direction.
But Wang Xiucheng's is not a back buckle.
His hand, which was holding the ball, stretched to his side, and then strangely leaned behind him!
The arm tucked back behind him like a wing.
Then, the basketball was slammed into the basket from behind by the wings.
With a loud bang, Wang Xiucheng completed the dunk, landing lightly on the ground and taking two steps to cushion the impact.
The scene fell eerily quiet once again.
But soon, the stadium erupted like a flash flood!
Many people started rushing onto the field!
Even the NBA stars in the front row rushed towards Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng actually pulled off a 360-degree spin and reverse joint dunk!
360 degrees is very common.
Reverse joint dunks are uncommon, especially in the NBA, where no one has ever performed such a move.
Firstly, this move is too dangerous; professional athletes would never risk doing something that could injure themselves.
Furthermore, this movement also requires a high degree of flexibility.
While professional athletes may not be considered super-muscular, they spend a lot of time in the gym and will inevitably develop some muscle mass.
The relative flexibility will be a bit less.
But Wang Xiucheng actually pulled off a reverse joint dunk, and it was a 360-degree spin afterward, which was terrifying!
Shaquille O'Neal, who was closest to Wang Xiucheng, started yelling at him again while carrying a camera.
Even he himself didn't know what he was shouting!
At this moment, it seemed that no language could be used.
Wang Xiucheng had only taken a few steps when he realized something was wrong.
It's like standing on a beach and feeling the earth around you shaking.
Wang Xiucheng suddenly felt a suffocating sensation, as if a tidal wave was about to surge in!
He wanted to run, but he didn't know where to run.
People were rushing towards him from all directions.
There were players, as well as some fans who lived nearby.
Many people were holding their phones, pointing them at Wang Xiucheng, seemingly recording the process.
Where to run?
Wang Xiucheng suddenly turned around and saw O'Neal, so he shouted, "Crouch down!"
O'Neal paused for a moment, then saw Wang Xiucheng's eyes and the basketball hoop in front of him, so he squatted down with the camera on his back.
Wang Xiucheng didn't have time to think. He ran two steps and kicked O'Neal's thigh with his other foot, then kicked O'Neal's shoulder with his other foot.
At this point, O'Neal finally realized what Wang Xiucheng was up to.
So O'Neal deliberately stood up and shrugged his shoulders.
Wang Xiucheng was sent flying like a rocket by O'Neal's shoulder.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng's hands gripped the top edge of the backboard!
With his arms gripping the top edge of the backboard and his feet using the rim for leverage, Wang Xiucheng climbed directly onto the backboard!
With a nimble flip, Wang Xiucheng landed directly on the top edge of the backboard.
O'Neal looked shocked. Was Wang Xiucheng really that skillful?
Even with your own support, it's impossible to climb onto the backboard instantly, right?
Although shocked, O'Neal didn't sit still; the camera was constantly pointed at Wang Xiucheng.
Sitting on the backboard, watching the crowd surge towards me.
Wang Xiucheng stood with his arms outstretched and his head held high, just like a king!
At that moment, all the cameras were pointed at Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng's arrogant demeanor was also broadcast to thousands of households through the camera.
At this moment, this Chinese man conquered this stadium in his own way!
At least thirty fans have already rushed in.
However, they did not encounter Wang Xiucheng at all.
Dozens of security guards finally rushed in, grabbed all of them, and dragged them out.
James stood under the basket, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
I knew this kid knew kung fu, didn't I?
You still don't believe me.
Without martial arts skills, how could one climb up so easily?
By the way, what's this skill called?
James slapped his forehead, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Oh right, it's called "Ladder to the Clouds," right?
Haha, kid, trying to act tough with me? I knew you knew kung fu!
At this moment, all the players on the court were pointing their phones at Wang Xiucheng on the backboard.
This scene is unprecedented!
At this moment, the entire stadium erupted in gasps of surprise.
They didn't even see clearly when or how Wang Xiucheng climbed up.
The fans in the stadium were shouting wildly and recording this unforgettable moment on their phones.
Wang Xiucheng actually sat on the backboard!
The image of him stretching out his arms and raising his head deeply moved everyone at that moment!
Not only the fans at the stadium, but also the Chinese fans thousands of miles away, were even more excited and proud at this moment.
At the same time, whether it's a school, a CBD, a hospital, or a shopping mall.
Fans who were watching the dunk contest couldn't help but shout.
Who says Chinese people can't jump?
We can not only jump.
It can still fly!
At this moment, the number of online viewers on Tencent Sports, CCTV Sports Channel, Migu Sports, and various local TV stations finally reached a staggering 3.8 million!
Finally, the viewership miracle of "3.5 million" during Yao Ming's era was broken.
This means that at this moment, one in four Chinese people is paying attention to Wang Xiucheng in various ways.
What is a top-tier trend?
This is what top-tier popularity looks like!
The field has been cleared, and all the fans who rushed onto the field during the chaos have been removed.
Several staff members brought over a ladder to lower Wang Xiucheng, who was still sitting on the top of the backboard.
Wang Xiucheng, however, flipped over and landed, grabbing the rim and jumping down.
It would be too undignified to use a ladder to get down there.
After coming down, Wang Xiucheng either high-fived or hugged everyone.
Curry stood outside the crowd, looking up at the top edge of the backboard.
"I told you, I can dunk on you while hugging you," Draymond Green whispered from the side.
"Shut the hell up." Curry glared at him.
"My word always stands," Dream Chaser added.
“Say one more word and I’ll have the team trade you to the Nets. Wang Xiucheng is missing someone like you.”
Curry said casually.
Upon hearing this, Draymond Green indeed shut up and stopped talking.
Wang Xiucheng celebrated with high-fives to all the players in a routine manner.
For this moment, not only Wang Xiucheng, but even these already famous superstars, wanted to leave their mark on history.
After dealing with these players, there were still various Hollywood stars standing and applauding in the distance.
Especially the female celebrities; seeing how excited they were, Wang Xiucheng didn't want to disappoint them.
So he went over and gave them high-fives one by one.
Whether it's Scarlett Johansson or Olsen, whether they are Americans or foreigners.
Wang Xiucheng once again reached out and walked past the front row seat in an assembly-line manner.
These usually aloof female celebrities were holding up their phones, recording Wang Xiucheng up close, while also concealing the greedy desire in their eyes.
This man is rich, handsome, and young...
He's simply the perfect lover!
For many female celebrities who want to marry into a wealthy family, Wang Xiucheng is simply a tempting prospect!
Compared to marrying a decrepit old man, Wang Xiucheng, who is only 20 years old... is so much better!
After high-fiving the female celebrities one by one, the competition continued.
Although it is no longer necessary for anyone.
The big screen began replaying Wang Xiucheng's 360-degree spin and reverse joint dunk.
Standing on the sidelines, Scarlett and Olsen, who had just high-fived Wang Xiucheng, remained expressionless, but their eyes never left him.
Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa were holding hands, seemingly extremely nervous.
When they saw Wang Xiucheng climb onto the backboard, their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests, fearing he would fall and get hurt.
Stuart covered his face, feeling like he had a fever; otherwise, why would he be so hot?
Just now, Wang Xiucheng shook hands with her and then tickled her.
This made Stuart want to devour the man right then and there.
The replay had ended, and the five judges had already stood up.
The scores are in.
50,50,50,50,50.
Without a doubt, this was another dunk that scored a perfect 50 points.
The five judges nodded and extended their hands to give Wang Xiucheng a high five as he approached.
50 points means that all four of Wang Xiucheng's dunks today were perfect scores.
And all of them were completed in one go.
This shows that Wang Xiucheng still has room for maneuver tonight.
McCollum's dunking is very strong, at least stronger than most NBA players.
But compared to Wang Xiucheng, he still falls a little short.
It was thanks to McCollum tonight that the fans in the arena, Chinese fans, and even fans all over the world were able to witness such a wonderful slam dunk contest.
Wilkins walked out with a smile on his face, holding the trophy with satisfaction.
There's nothing better than bringing this trophy back to Brooklyn.
After rambling on and on, the host finally announced, "The winner of the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest is..."
“wang…”
The crowd roared, accompanied by whistles and screams.
Wilkins handed the trophy to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng hugged the trophy and squatted down exaggeratedly, as if the trophy was very heavy.
The host handed the microphone to Wang Xiucheng, asking him to say a few words.
This is a familiar process; last year it was Curry's interview, but this year it's the host asking directly.
Wang Xiucheng said some high-sounding words.
Thank you, NBA; thank you, owners; thank you, fans, and so on.
Then Wang Xiucheng paused, holding the trophy in one hand and the microphone in the other, and said in Chinese:
"Thank you to the fans in China for your support, and thank you for your support of the other Chinese players. Because of you, we have the confidence to succeed in the United States."
