When Qin Yue finished his performance, Jas, who was sitting in the most prominent position at the Thomas-Mark Center chatting with Howard, suddenly felt a ringing in his ears.
The increasingly frenzied crowd...
Fully demonstrated what kind of slam dunk his good friend had just completed.
Jas knew very clearly the significance of this slam dunk to the dunk contest and the basketball world.
Because seven years ago, on the night Carter exploded in Oakland, Vince Carter almost beca the most popular star in the NBA overnight.
If, before completing this slam dunk, Qin Yue was already unstoppable, then after completing this slam dunk...
His brilliance is destined to overshadow all the superstar players of his era.
Before the ga, Jas indeed thought that Qin Yue might win the dunk contest championship with absolute dominance.
But he also prepared four different types of tomahawk dunks to play the role that Richie Paul described to him, the king who dares to draw his sword against the Demon King Satan in adversity.
Jas hoped that this "great competition" in the dunk contest would show his supporters and sponsors his spirit.
He is not incapable of defeating Qin Yue.
He just needs ti to grow before he can start the "23VS30" that Nike has been longing for, with Qin Yue who has reached the peak.
Even if he might experience a defeat in the dunk contest, so what?
As long as he can achieve better results than Qin Yue on the court in the future...
This "great failure" destined to be passed down through the generations will only tell the world how difficult his journey was, how much effort he put into achieving success, and how he resisted the great Demon King.
Jas needed to show his supporters his spirit.
More importantly, he needed to show his sponsors his courage.
Because as Qin Yue’s rise exceeded everyone’s imagination...
Jas was no longer the superstar who stood at the center of the basketball world before even entering the league.
In Qin Yue’s previous life, Jas’s success was by no ans an accident.
At that historical turning point in the NBA’s post-Jordan era, he officially entered public view due to a report by The New York Tis.
Before entering the league, he was crowned the "Chosen One."
To compete for him, Nike, Reebok, and Adi even launched an unprecedented bidding war.
This marketing campaign, hailed as the most successful in sports history by later generations...
Allowed Jas to stand on a pedestal early in his career where many superstar players might never reach even after a lifeti of struggle.
And his good luck continued.
Shortly after entering the league, despite Kobe suffering from the negative impression brought by the "Eagle County incident," even though Kobe eventually switched to the Nike camp... Jas’s sponsors had long intended for him to replace Kobe.
Historically, the so-called "no title surpassing Kobe" was not just a joke.
It was because Jas’s sponsors and the league were already inclined to invest more resources in him, intending to make him the NBA’s face in the post-Jordan era.
Although Jas nearly prematurely sent David Stern away with that fiasco known as "Decision One"...
The truth remains, that before making "Decision One," the resources Jas received far exceeded those of other NBA stars of his era.
But it’s different now.
Qin Yue’s appearance changed everything.
As the ssiah of the Bay Area, Qin Yue has made people begin to question Jas, the Chosen One, through his performance on the court.
More seriously...
In last year’s face-off execution, already having struggled in the league for four seasons, Jas gave the impression that he had made no progress.
It was a face-off execution that severely affected the trajectory of Jas’s career.
The more Qin Yue demonstrated his progress in human-ball integration ability in gas, the more embarrassed Jas seed.
And in his rookie season, when Qin Yue led the Warriors to ascend to the deities, he further used those two "The.Dunks" to repeatedly remind every Clevelander...
The true savior will never let you wait in vain for the future.
Undoubtedly, due to the pressure brought by Qin Yue...
Jas needs a "great competition" more than ever to remind the world he’s only 22 years old this year, and he still has imnse potential to tap into.
However...
This "great competition" has just begun...
The slam dunk Qin Yue completed at the Thomas-Mark Center, which ignited the entire stadium, caused Jas’s mood to plumt to rock bottom.
Jas had ringing in his ears.
Because the noise produced on site had already surpassed the human eardrum’s limit.
Tim Duncan, sitting not far beside Jas, was crazily shoving Yao Ming: "What a spectacular dunk!"
Sitting on Yao Ming’s right, Garnett was also continuously pounding Yao Ming’s back: "Your Chinese little brother is definitely an alien!"
As for Yao Ming, caught in the middle?
He very rarely burst out with a swear word sounding similar to the English word for tomatoes in the next second.
At the comntator’s booth.
Having almost beaten Kenny Smith near death, Barkley jumped onto the booth and rolled up a book into microphone shape, shouting: "This is the dunk contest we want to see!"
This is the dunk contest we want to see!
In the second round of the preliminaries, no one knew the feelings of the dunk masters participating with Qin Yue.
