Jazz rookie Mitchell won the dunk king, how exciting was this slam dunk contest?

Today is the second day of All-Star Weekend, and on such a festive day, there will be an All-Star Trick Game, a three-point contest and a slam dunk contest, in which the Nets' Dinwiddie won the trick contest, Booker won the three-point contest, and Mitchell won the slam dunk contest.

The players who participated in the slam dunk contest are Oladipo, Nance Jr., Smith and Mitchell, the dunk contest is divided into two rounds, first of all, Mitchell took the lead, used two baskets, dribbled the ball, and then threw the first basket of the board, and after receiving the ball, the whole process was very smooth, and the audience applauded warmly, and finally won the highest score of the first round of 48 points.

Then it was Oladipo who dunked, he stood outside the three-point line, threw the ball high, then jumped up, caught the ball, turned his back, and slammed the dunk, but unfortunately the ball smashed out of the basket and failed to score, and finally scored only 31 points. Then there was the Mavericks' Dennis Smith on the court, Smith's dunk went well, the movements were all in one go, very perfect, but the score was not very high, and he finally scored 39 points. The last to play was Nance Jr., who held the ball in one hand, took off and dunked high, and finally scored 44 points.

After that, the second dunk of the first round, Oladipo took the lead, this time, he didn't miss, a wonderful dunk, and finally scored 40 points, and then Smith came on the court, a wonderful dribble, and then changed hands under the crotch in the air, this dunk got a perfect score of 50 points. After that, Nance Jr. jumped from behind the basket, completed and dunked, scored 49 points, and finally Mitchell came out, Mitchell's dunk was a four-person cooperation, he received an assistant's board throw, stepped over the two and scored 50 points. <>

After that, Nance Jr. and Mitchell entered the finals, although both of them dunked wonderfully, but Mitchell was better, and the last ball was Mitchell wearing Carter's jersey, paying tribute to Carter's classic 360-degree windmill turn in 2000. Mitchell won the slam dunk contest by beating Nance Jr. in this slam dunk contest, and he became the first rookie to win the slam dunk contest since Zach LaVine in 2015. And the only player in history to win the Slam Dunk Contest and also win Rookie of the Year is Blake Griffin in 2011.

So far this season, Mitchell has averaged points, assists, rebounds and steals per game while shooting from the field. Although the Jazz's current record is not very good, Mitchell's performance is very outstanding, he has also won the favor of many players in the league, and was once the favorite to be the best rookie of the year. For the Jazz, although Hayward left last season, now that Mitchell is doing this, they will also reconsider the core of the team.

In the future, Mitchell is bound to be a great player.

<> the quality and creativity of this year's slam dunk contest can be said to be just ordinary, the Orlando Magic dunk that was originally going to participate in Aaron Gordon withdrew due to injury, which directly halved people's expectations for this year's dunk contest, and his matchup with Zach LaVine, who was playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves at the time, is still unforgettable! The final defeat also makes people feel sorry for him! In the end, Utah Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell entered the slam dunk contest in his place.

In fact, the four players who participated in the slam dunk contest Donovan Mitchell, Dennis Smith JR, Nance Jr. and Victor Oladipo are all practical dunks, and they have staged wonderful performances in the game many times, but as far as the works of the slam dunk contest are concerned, it can only be said that the feelings are mostly and the effect is average. Mitchell and Nance Jr. borrowed the identities of Vince Carter and Nance Sr. to complete the "tribute" dunk respectively, and finally scored high points, but the dunk completion, stretch and viewing can only be said to be very ordinary.

And Oladipo even failed to complete the dunk action many times, and the dunk of the cos panther on the scene was nothing new, which also made the "black panther" himself embarrassed! The best dunk in the game is Smith Jr.'s turn + crotch dunk in the air, he is also the most powerful dunk in this year, but unfortunately the first dunk is far underestimated, and the final score is not enough, and he failed to reach the finals and show more dunks.
