Chương 358: Chapter 358: The All-Star Dunk Contest (Part 3)
Bang!!!
As he approached the basket, Dong performed a one-armed dunk.
"Oh yeah!"
This time, all the spectators stood up and chanted, "Dong! Dong! Dong!"
A dunk from behind the free-throw line!
The impact of this dunk on the audience surpassed even the 720-degree spin dunk, as it required the player to jump both high and far.

Yu Jia: "I think Brother Dong can participate in the long jump competition and maybe even win a world championship."
Zhang Zhidao: "He's an athlete's prodigy!"
Yu Jia: "Imagine a basketball player winning the 100-meter world championship and then the long jump world championship. It's so exciting to think about."
....
The judges gave Dong another perfect score of 50.
Unsurprisingly, Dong's second dunk also received a perfect score of 50.
With this, Dong and James advanced to the finals with two perfect scores each.
George's mid-air spin followed by a between-the-legs windmill was explosive!
Wall's leap over the mascot and reverse dunk was spectacular!
Terrence's leap over O'Neal and the coronation ceremony was full of gimmicks!
However, they faced James and Dong, and the Dunk Contest was ultimately about skill.
...
...
With this, Dong's words came true, as there was no need for a third attempt in the preliminary round. George, Wall, Terrence, and Lillard might have prepared even more impressive dunks, but they didn't have the chance to perform them.
James and Dong advanced to the finals together.
James' dunks were powerful but not graceful.
However, based on their performances in the preliminary round, both James and Dong deserved their perfect scores.
The finals were about to begin, and the audience was still in awe of Dong's two dunks in the preliminary round—the 720-degree spin dunk and the dunk from behind the free-throw line. The difficulty of these dunks was incredibly high, and Dong had completed them both.
In fact, Dong had already secured the Dunk Contest championship with these two dunks.
Before the finals began, James was sitting in a chair when he felt someone massaging his shoulders and comforting him, "Just look at those two dunks in the preliminary round. We can't beat Brother Dong, so don't feel pressured."
"Huh?!"
James turned around and saw that it wasn't Wade but Curry standing behind him.
"Hey..."
James laughed and punched Curry in the chest.
What a way to comfort someone—telling them they can't win, so they shouldn't feel pressured.
Curry also laughed and ran off, leaving behind a bellowing laugh, "Hahaha..."
Since both Dong and James had received perfect scores in the preliminary round, there was no requirement for who went first or second in the finals. Dong saw that James was still preparing, so he signaled that he would go first.
Dong walked to the center of the court with a basketball in his arms and snatched the microphone from Bruce. He suddenly said, "The next dunk is quite challenging, and I might not succeed. If I do, I want a minute of applause!"
"Wow!"
Dong's words had the audience on the edge of their seats.
The fans watching at home were also filled with anticipation. Dong had already completed the 720-degree spin dunk and the dunk from behind the free-throw line. Could there be an even more difficult dunk?
If there was, it would probably be the limit of human ability.
Lillard and the others were also gathered at the sidelines, eagerly awaiting Dong's dunk.
Dong stood near the three-point line and dribbled towards the basket.
From one step away from the basket, Dong jumped and performed a move similar to a high knee lift. He first did a between-the-legs windmill with his right hand, then repeated the move with his left hand.
A double between-the-legs windmill dunk!
This move was considered the limit of human ability, and almost no players could perform it.
Dong's first attempt failed, as the ball hit the rim.
"Oh... No!"
Even though he failed, many spectators were still in disbelief, covering their heads with their hands.
"Huff..."
Dong took a deep breath, found his rhythm, and tried again.
Dong had practiced this dunk at home, and even he had a low success rate. The reason he chose this double between-the-legs windmill dunk was that he only planned to participate in this year's Dunk Contest.
There was no need for him to participate in future Dunk Contests, as he wanted to give younger players a chance while also setting extremely high standards for them to surpass.
Dong had only successfully performed the double between-the-legs windmill dunk a couple of times.
On his second attempt, Dong found the feeling of his successful attempts.
He jumped, and the ball went between his legs from his right hand to his left hand, then back to his right hand.
Bang!!!
Dong dunked the ball and even hung on the rim with his right arm before landing.
"Oh yeah!"
Durant, Curry, and even Wade and Anthony rushed onto the court.
O'Neal held a camera in his hands, and his eyes were wide open in amazement!
"Champion!"
"Champion!"
"Champion!"
The entire audience was chanting "champion," even forgetting about James.
"Damn!"
After completing the dunk, Dong also pumped his arm, and even the usually calm Dong couldn't contain his excitement.
The judges gave Dong another perfect score of 50.
It took a while for the arena to calm down, and the audience was now eagerly anticipating James' response.
"Come on, James!"
The spectators also cheered for James, not only for his dunk but also in the hope that he would get a perfect score, as only James' continuous perfect scores could bring out Dong's full potential.
It was James' turn.
James prepared and began his run-up from the backcourt, jumping from the free-throw line.
Bang!!!
A free-throw line dunk, and he made it on the first try!
"Oh yeah!"
Although the audience reacted to this dunk, their response wasn't as enthusiastic as before, as Dong had already amazed them with his previous dunks.
The judges gave James another perfect score of 50.
James' weight was heavier than Dong's, so his free-throw line dunk was actually more challenging.
For his second attempt in the finals, Dong called for four spectators to stand in a row.
Then, Dong started his run-up from midcourt, leaped over the four spectators, and performed a behind-the-back windmill while in the air.
"Oh yeah!"
This dunk also received a standing ovation.
Leaping over four spectators was already difficult, and performing a behind-the-back windmill made it even more impressive.
Once again, Dong received a perfect score.
All the pressure was now on James, as if he didn't get a perfect score, Dong would win the Dunk Contest championship.
