Chapter 632: Chapter 307: The Strongest Dunk King in History!

The score caused a stir among the audience.

After looking up at the score, Gordon also showed a complex expression, shaking his head with a wry smile.

It meant he was knocked out in the first round.

It also meant he wouldn’t have the chance to showcase the other moves he had prepared.

He felt a bit of regret in his heart, regretting not having used his second dunk as his first.

At this moment, Hansen also looked slightly surprised.

It wasn’t that he thought the score was too low, but that he was surprised McGrady had the guts to score a 9.

He knew if James got knocked out in the first round, McGrady would definitely become the target of LeBron fans’ ire.

"LeBron lost not to the opponent, but to garbage judges like McGrady."

He had already thought about how McGrady would be roasted after the match.

At this time, the camera also focused on Hansen.

Because after James got 49 points, he also needed to dunk a perfect-score dunk to ensure his advancement to the finals.

Hansen stood up, and the crowd gave him an encouraging cheer.

In such a strong dunk contest in history, anyone’s elimination could not be considered a surprise.

And James’ predicament meant that Hansen had to pull off a dunk that stunned the entire arena, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get the score he needed from the judges.

Jokic still showed up as Hansen’s assistant, standing under the basket, but this time he didn’t face the three-point line but the audience, and he was hunched over with the ball placed on the back of his neck.

Hansen’s dunk started from the baseline.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Hansen began to accelerate, lunging into the air when he was half a meter away from the basket.

To everyone’s amazement, he flew past the basket.

This also meant that he had lost the opportunity to dunk from the front.

Had Hansen’s dunk attempt failed?

That’s what the fans were thinking at the moment.

According to the rules of the dunk contest, each player has 3 attempts for each dunk, so even though the first one failed, Hansen still had chances.

But in such a pinnacle showdown, all previous dunks had been successful on the first try, which also meant that it was almost impossible for Hansen to score a perfect score.

Or perhaps the judges would give a score of 49, which would result in an extra dunk contest between James and Hansen, then deciding who would face Raven in the finals.

Just as these thoughts were emerging in the fans’ minds, Hansen, still in the air, made a seemingly impossible move.

After flying past the basket, he grabbed the ball from behind Jokic’s neck with his right hand, then twisted his right hand behind him to complete a dunk!

The fans were stunned. Was this even humanly possible?

"God!" Barkley exclaimed, too astonished to continue.

O’Neal was stunned at the judges’ table too.

The arena fell silent for a moment, as many people were still savoring Hansen’s recent dunk.

McGrady on the edge of the judges’ table was communicating with the staff, and soon enough, the LED screen in the venue played a slow-motion replay of that dunk.

The crowd exploded instantly.

It was a move similar to "scorpion tail," an inverse joint dunk that looked inhuman, even in the replay.

This move was not actually created by Hansen but was the signature move of a Canadian player known as "White Jordan," Jordan Kilgannon.

As Hansen had thought before, he believed the best dunks came from street dunkers, so he drew inspiration from their dunks.

When the slow-motion replay ended, the judges immediately gave their scores.

Five 10s.

Hansen received the perfect score he needed.

Just like Gordon and Raven had before, this was a dunk that exceeded 50 points.

When the score appeared, there were cheers and a lot of applause in the venue.

Gordon’s first dunk score was low, and McGrady’s 9 was somewhat unexpected, but from the final results, it was clear that Raven and Hansen were indeed the stronger pair.

UA made a killing once again.

However, this left the LeBron fans in an awkward position, as in their eyes, James was bound to win the championship, but now he had been knocked out in the first round!

It was as if he had come but hadn’t truly arrived, like the Buddha.

As for James himself, although he looked a bit disappointed, he wasn’t that down because he had, after all, paved the way for his exit with his declaration before the contest began.

If he won, the ESPN hype machine would start up, and the strongest dunker of the century would be born tonight.

If he lost, then it was the judges who were unfair; he had given his all, and his bravery remained intact.

Before the finals began, Smith came over to interview the two competitors.

Raven was still shy, saying he would give his all in the finals.

Hansen’s answer was still succinct: "I’m looking forward to it."

He was aware of Raven’s strength and believed that, in terms of NBA players, Raven’s dunking ability might actually surpass Carter’s.

It was just that Carter’s physique was bulkier than Raven’s, giving a stronger visual impact.

So the finals would not be that simple.

The final was still two dunks and also relied on the judges’ scoring.

Raven went first as usual.

And just like his first dunk in the preliminaries, he chose the self-alle-oop dunk.

The so-called self-alle-oop meant throwing the ball to hit the floor first, then accelerating to leap into the air to catch the bounce and complete the dunk.

Of all the dunk moves, this one had the most difficult starting coefficient, because it tested not only the ability to dunk but also the force of the throw.

Even a misthrown ball was counted as a failed dunk, which would also result in a lower impression score from the judges.
