Scoring on the basketball court is ever-changing, but dunks are definitely the most impactful of many offensive techniques. On the NBA stage, countless artists have demonstrated their preference for the art of dunks, contributing many wonderful dunk performances to us. This time we'll take stock and relive those classic moments.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > destroys Westbrook</h1>
Looking at the entire history of the NBA, Westbrook's physical fitness is also one of the few top point guards in the same position. At its peak, Wei Shao was more like a robot with an engine in its body, and it was always full of hard work and vitality on the field. Hanging frames and heavy buckles are Wei Shao's best tricks, and his iconic "smashing buckles" have also become a banner for him personally. When he dunked, he concentrated all his energy on one point, and suddenly exploded and took off, smashing the basketball into the frame, and the scene was extremely shocking.
Wei Shao will make his unique "hanging frame" action before the dunk is completed and landed, that is, in the time difference between the ball and before the landing, Wei Shao will habitually do an upward hanging frame action. The action is extremely fast, and the dunk action is suddenly integrated, which gives people a strong visual impact without appearing redundant and complicated.
In addition to the iconic hanging frame, the starting action of Westbrook's dunk is also unique. He prefers to jump with both feet, that is, he will habitually take a small step before the dunk, and then take off until both feet are solid at the same time. The advantage of this jump is that it can better explode the strength of the whole body on the legs, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to be predicted by the defender.
It's not hard to explain why many of Westbrook's dunks are difficult dunks for the defender, just because defenders can easily catch the precursors of Westbrook's dunks. When he was young, he could take off directly with his explosive physical fitness, but with the dual influence of age and multiple injuries, Westbrook's method of starting and jumping was not as common as in the past, and the number of wonderful dunks he contributed to us was gradually decreasing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > dunk king Zach Lavin</h1>
Zach Lavin has one of the few bouncing talents in NBA history, with a vertical bounce of 46 inches (116.84cm) and a tie for the first place in NBA history with Michael Jordan, Anthony Webb, and Jason Richardson, and his extraordinary bounces allow him to make a variety of wonderful and difficult dunks.
LaVine won consecutive dunk contests in 2014-15 and 2015-16, and brought the art of dunks to the extreme at the 2015-16 All-Star Dunk Contest, working with Aaron Gordon to contribute to all basketball fans what is arguably the greatest dunk contest of the 21st century.
With a bounce that no one can do, Lavin can soar through the air like he is out of gravity after taking off, and make a variety of jaw-dropping movements in the air. His dunk is high in height and the range of movements is large, giving people a visual aesthetic of stretching and smoothness, and the artistry of the dunk is fully exerted.
Compared with other dunk masters, Lavin's dunks are more skillful and ornamental. And because of his historical level of bounce, in the same technical movements, his degree of completion and fluency are better than others, and the viewing is naturally better. His dunk has no superfluous movements, does not drag mud and water, and gives people a light and flowing visual feeling.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > a powerful, heavily charged Griffin</h1>
Unlike Lavin's simple and flowing style, Blake Griffin's dunk is more aptly described as powerful. The early Griffin was a complete dunkman, with countless dunks and powerful interstitial dunks, and the ball that had the opportunity to dunk would never choose to go to the basket. With a strong body and excellent physical fitness, his dunks are more aggressive and confrontational.
Griffin was injured in his first season in the league, so we haven't even seen a healthy man show himself on the NBA. But he conquered everyone with his perfect performance at his peak, and he was in the top five of the league, and even ranked in the top three of the MVP competition for two seasons.
In the 2010-11 dunk contest, Griffin won the crown with the "Leap Car" four-seater. The Clippers' name of "Empty City" has been known since the team selected Griffin. In the early days, he was a dunk idiot, and he also attracted a large wave of fans with his thunderous shock and impact.
Although Griffin's static talent in the body has no obvious advantage, the height of 2.08m is only 2.11m arm span, but with its super bouncing and explosive power, it is still the league's frightening "partition demon". From violently riding Perkins to continuously locking Gasol, as long as he stays healthy, no matter who is in front of him, Griffin is not afraid.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Zhan Huang Xiafan, all sentient beings are mighty, and the actual dunk king James</h1>
When it comes to James, we must first make it clear that unlike other dunk masters who are known for their dunks, good dunks are just one of James' many famous stunts. LeBron's greatness lies in his combination of uncompromising offensive skills, super defensive ability, excellent passing vision, and top dunk ability.
There is no need to repeat how terrifying James's physical fitness is, in addition to his top strength, height, weight, and historical level of running and jumping in one. What is even more remarkable is that he also has excellent physical control, and these talents are gathered in his body, and everyone who hears it is shocked. Although James has not participated in a dunk contest in his career, his dunk performance in actual combat is convincing enough, and he is strong enough to prove his dunk ability without the honor of the dunk contest.
The honor of "actual dunk king" undoubtedly belongs to James, who has the ability to complete dunks against any good defender. In the NBA for many years, he has blocked almost all the center of the league, and he has also thrown himself on the stage of the Finals, vividly playing the Finals into an individual exhibition game, and he is also the first person in history to complete this achievement.
James' dunk has an innate domineering spirit, giving people a powerful momentum of the gods and swallowing mountains and rivers, and exerting the aesthetics of violence to the extreme. Ultra-long-range gliding dunks and tomahawk dunks are a major feature of him, and he also staged wonderful shots of free throw line dunks in the early days. What's more worth mentioning is that James also has unbelievable physical coordination, with a height of 2.03m and a weight of about 110kg all year round, but he can still make the super difficult dunk action of air rotation 360.
Dunks are fully ornamental, but also increase the momentum of the team on the field, every player wants to use dunks on the court to show their love for the sport of basketball, with dunks to express their desire for victory. However, although the dunk is good, it should be used with caution, because the dunk also has a huge consumption of the body, so we should pay tribute to those players who are injured on the court, because it is they who have contributed a wonderful dunk moment to us, and we can feel the charm of basketball.
