Chương 363: Chapter 363: Basic Skills, Don't Laugh at Me
The tense expression on the one-armed boy's face finally relaxed.
The host walked over and asked, "What's your dream?"
"I want to dunk!"
The one-armed boy replied firmly, "I want to prove to the world that I can dunk with one hand!"
The host smiled and said, "Of course, you can dunk with one hand. How about we ask these big-name players on the sidelines to perform a one-handed dunk for us?"
"Can they do it?"
The one-armed boy looked at the players sitting on the sidelines with hesitation.
"Of course they can!"
This request wasn't unreasonable, and everyone on the sidelines, including Wade Dong, readily agreed.
LeBron James stood up and said, "I'll go first!"
This segment was truly inspiring and heartwarming, and the audience cheered, "James! Dunk one!"
James dribbled with the ball, tucked his left hand behind his back, and then dribbled towards the basket. He jumped from a step away from the basket, performed a half-spin in the air, and dunked the ball.
Those who play basketball can try this: tuck one hand behind your back, and you'll find that even laying the ball up is challenging, let alone dunking.
Most people would likely lose control of the ball at the moment of catching it, and it would fly towards their girlfriend's face, making her angry enough to throw her boba tea in your face.
"Amazing!"
Everyone knew that James' dunk was challenging.
Curry was envious and also tried to dunk with one hand. He tucked his left hand behind his back, dribbled to the basket, and attempted a one-handed dunk.
"Clang!"
The ball hit the rim, and Curry lost his balance, falling to the ground.
...
Huaxia Live Broadcast Room.
Yu Jia, "Haha... It's not easy for players who are used to dribbling with two hands to dunk with one hand."
Zhang Zhidao, "It's a bit difficult for Curry."
...
Although Curry's dunk attempt failed, causing laughter from the audience, it was precisely this light-hearted atmosphere that suited the entertainment-focused All-Star Game.
However, no one expected that after Curry's failed dunk, he would run to the bench and pull Wade Dong onto the court, "Dong, help me save face."
"Huh?"
Wade Dong was taken aback.
"Haha..."
Everyone burst into laughter. Curry had come to ask for help!
Since Shaq's retirement, the All-Star Game had lacked some excitement, but in this moment, some fans suddenly realized that Curry was quite entertaining.
Wade Dong couldn't refuse his teammate's request.
So, Wade Dong also walked onto the court, and all eyes in the arena turned to him, especially the one-armed boy, whose big eyes sparkled. His idol was none other than the player wearing the number 7 jersey.
Wade Dong took the basketball to the three-point line, tucked his left hand behind his back, and then threw the ball towards the basket with his right hand. He rushed to the basket, jumped, and performed a 360-degree spin with his right hand.
"Bang!!!"
Wade Dong kept his left hand behind his back throughout the dunk, and the ball slammed into the basket.
"Wow!!!"
The audience gasped in amazement.
But Wade Dong wasn't done. He took the ball again, still keeping his left hand behind his back. He dribbled from the baseline, and from a distance, he jumped, caught the ball with his right hand, and performed a reverse 360-degree spin dunk.
"Wow!!!"
The audience gasped once more.
When everyone thought Wade Dong was done, he took the ball again and walked to the corner. He dribbled from the corner, and from a certain distance, he jumped, forcefully tapped the ball, which bounced off the floor and went between his legs.
As the ball bounced up, Wade Dong caught it with his right hand and then performed a reverse dunk!
"Holy shit!!!"
Even the players on the sidelines were stunned by this last dunk.
The difficulty of this last dunk was so high that even in yesterday's dunk contest, if Wade Dong had performed it, he would have received a perfect score of 50 points.
After completing his final dunk, Wade Dong signaled for a staff member to bring him a marker. He signed the basketball and handed it to the one-armed boy, saying, "Come on, buddy!"
"Thank you, Uncle Wade Dong!"
The one-armed boy was full of gratitude and asked, "Can I become a player like you?"
"Hmm... Becoming a player like me is a bit challenging,"
Wade Dong thought for a moment and then pointed to the other players, encouraging the boy, "But I believe you can become a player like them."
James, "????"
Durant, "????"
Curry, "????"
Wade, "???"
Others, "???"
...
The second half began, and both teams continued with their starting lineups.
In the final moments of the first half, the West had taken the lead thanks to Wade Dong, so the East came out strong at the start of the second half.
Irving dribbled to the three-point line and took a pull-up three-pointer.
"Swish!!!"
The ball swished through the net.
The score was 76-77!!!
Subsequently, Griffin posted up under the basket but was disrupted by Anthony and missed the shot.
James grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Wade, who was running towards the frontcourt. Wade received the pass and dunked it!
The score was 78-77!!!
The East regained the lead.
In fact, the two most impressive players on the East team so far were Irving and James, and Irving had played the most minutes.
After the East took the lead, Wade Dong immediately executed a pick-and-roll with Durant, who received Wade's assist and made a mid-range jump shot.
From this point on, the two teams traded baskets.
With five minutes left in the third quarter, D'Antoni substituted out Love, Durant, and Huang Yu, bringing in Curry, Howard, and Aldridge.
Huang Yu's performance in this year's All-Star Game was quite disappointing.
He played less than fifteen minutes, scoring 3 points with 1 rebound and 2 assists... He showed little desire to attack, and as for defense, no one took it seriously during the All-Star Game.
The East also made some substitutions.
After Aldridge came in, he consecutively received three passes from Wade Dong in the mid-range and took jump shots.
"Swish!!!"
"Swish!!!"
"Swish!!!"
All three shots swished through the net, helping the West regain the lead.
After making three consecutive mid-range shots, Aldridge couldn't help but glance at Wade Dong a few times. He had been teammates with Lillard for two years, and before Lillard, Aldridge had also played with several point guards. Still, he had never experienced such comfortable passes as the ones from Wade Dong.
It was as if Wade Dong already knew their shooting habits.
Every time Aldridge received a pass from Wade Dong, he didn't need to make any adjustments. He just had to put the ball into the basket.
"No wonder you're ranked first in assists!"
Aldridge said to Wade Dong during their retreat on defense, "If I miss a shot after receiving your pass, it's my fault."
"Hehe~"
Wade Dong just smiled. Wasn't this basic stuff?
