But this nine-fingered dunker, when it comes to dunking, never thought himself inferior to anyone!

In Green's eyes, Qin Yue's dunks were merely pure violent rim-smashing; he didn't understand the beauty of dunking at all.

Yet...

Just as Green swung his arms wide, preparing to execute a jaw-dropping windmill dunk to teach Qin Yue a lesson, in the next moment, Qin Yue effortlessly reached the height that Green needed to jump with all his might to achieve.

Is a 110 cm vertical jump astonishing?

Indeed, it is astonishing.

But based on Qin Yue's reach standing and his leaping ability...

With just a light jump, he reached heights that Green could never achieve in his lifetime.

This is precisely the absolute gap in talent between the two, and it cannot be reversed.

Smack—!

In the Warrior Forbidden Area, Qin Yue swatted Green along with the ball out of bounds. Seeing Green lying on the floor, Qin Yue casually said, "If that's all you've got, I'll apply for a kid's hoop for you in the dunk contest."

Final score, 94 to 121.

After the game, Qin Yue, who easily racked up 18 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists, 6 blocks, and 1 steal against the Warriors, felt that the spectacular swat on Green might have cost him a chance to achieve a quadruple-double in the game.

Because after that shocking block, the Celtics didn't have a player daring enough to charge towards the basket for the rest of the game.

As the backdrop for Qin Yue's "killer block" in the match, Jerald Green was not convinced afterward: "I know he can easily reach beyond 380 cm, but dunking isn't about who can reach higher.

I admit he humiliated me on the court tonight, but at the Las Vegas All-Star Weekend, I will show the world with my performance that his claim that we can only compete for second place is a bit arrogant."

Green is a dunker with ambition.

This made Qin Yue see him in a new light.

Qin Yue has always admired players with ambition like this.

Because it is because of them that the NBA is so exciting.

January.

The harsh words Qin Yue unleashed after the third "Goodnight, Los Angeles" night had become a hot topic among fans during their leisure time.

People are very curious about what moves Qin Yue would perform in the dunk contest.

"Will he dunk from the free-throw line?"

"I think he'll go for a spinning windmill to wow the crowd."

"Since he dared to claim that others are only competing for second place, he must have prepared some unique moves."

For the NBA, Qin Yue's decision to participate in the dunk contest is undoubtedly a scene the league most wanted to see.

For many years, the dunk contest lacked star power and creativity, so much so that there were people even advocating for the NBA to cancel this traditional All-Star weekend event.

After Vince Carter, the NBA hasn't had a real dunk contest—this was a widespread consensus among people due to the dull dunk contests for quite some time.

So, when January came, and Qin Yue, the icon of the NBA, decided to participate and issued a bold challenge for more dunking experts to compete for second place before the contest...

Suddenly, the Las Vegas All-Star Weekend became a hotly discussed topic among basketball enthusiasts and possibly the most anticipated All-Star weekend in recent years.

"LeBron, many fans hope you'll compete in the dunk contest to face Messiah, what do you think about that?"

Since Qin Yue decided to participate in the dunk contest, his good friend LeBron James has been continuously asked by reporters whether he would join the dunk contest in five consecutive games.

This made James extremely annoyed.

As early as his rookie season, James responded to Coca-Cola executives who hoped he would participate in the dunk contest, saying his dunks were more suitable for real-game situations, not dunk contests.

Contrary to what many people think...

James had realized as early as his senior year that he wasn't suited for dunk contests.

In the McDonald's All-American dunk contest held in Cleveland, his dunk performance was far inferior to Shannon Brown, who was selected by the Knights the previous summer.

If not for the home court advantage giving him bonus points during the dunks, Shannon Brown would undoubtedly have been the champion that night.

This imperfect McDonald's dunk contest made James fully aware of his shortcomings in the art of dunking.

So, despite people speculating every year since James entered the league whether he would join the dunk contest, James would always choose to decline.

After all, as Nike's Chosen One, why should he serve as a backdrop for others in the dunk contest?

He only needs to use "maybe" to generate enough buzz to spark the public's infinite imagination of him competing in the dunk contest.

However, compared to previous seasons...

This year, people clearly can't accept James' "maybe."

Because Qin Yue had already decided to enter the dunk contest.

Moreover, this NBA icon had proudly issued a challenge to all the dunkers in the league.

Even the Nike executives were eagerly anticipating a great showdown between James and Qin Yue in the dunk contest.

Perhaps, last year's battle between the Knights and Warriors already clearly showed the world...

The young James still needs time to grow before he can engage in that great competition with the peak-form Qin Yue on the court.

But...

As long as James is willing...

Nike could completely hype the dunk matchup between Qin Yue and James, turning it into a "Essence of Human Movies vs. New Flying Man" event of the 21st century at the upcoming Las Vegas All-Star Weekend.
