From the whole course of the game, Howard's participation represents a feeling, but Connaughton's dunk is really difficult and wonderful, which can't be compared with Little Jones and Gordon. There should be no dispute that the final will be held between Little Jones and Gordon, but the confrontation between these two top dunks has a great influence. The last dunk, little Jones dunked the free throw line, which was closer than his predecessors, and the overall stretching degree of the action was also the same. The score of 48 points is slightly higher, while Gordon has surpassed Fartak, the first height in active service. Although the overall movement is not perfect, skipping a giant over 2.20 meters in height is enough to get full marks, but in the end, he lost to Little Jones by one point, and missed the championship of this dunk contest for the third time.
Three dunk contests, three missed the championship. If Gordon loses in physical strength and preparation for the first time and high expectations for the second time, it will be a bit irritating to lose for the third time, and it is not only Gordon who is angry, but also a large number of fans watching the dunk contest. Even after the game, the two referees revealed some tricks in the final score. However, after all, it is a foregone conclusion that Little Jones will win the championship. Even if the angry Gordon announced his permanent withdrawal from the dunk contest, it would not change the result of becoming the uncrowned king for the third time. Maybe he just lost, and the judges got a perfect score of only 50 points, but since Gordon entered the league, it seems that he has never been associated with the word Li Shun.
As the No.4 show of 20 14, Gordon has unparalleled jumping ability and explosive power. At the beginning of entering the league, he was regarded as a new generation of Griffin with his excellent dunk. However, this template not only failed to make Gordon's rookie season smooth, but, like Griffin, suffered serious injuries in the rookie season. Fortunately, he didn't get reimbursed for injuries like Griffin, but he only played 47 games because of injuries.
After a bad rookie season, Gordon, who entered the second grade, has a lot of excellent rough skills, and his strength has also increased significantly. He often plays a bright performance on the court and gradually becomes the team's starter. However, at this time, he fell into the same kind of distress, that is, he could not find his own position. On the court, Gordon, who is 2.06 meters tall, can serve as two power forwards. However, such players are often at a disadvantage in playing power forward, and the speed of playing small forward is not fast enough. Moreover, Gordon's wingspan is not excellent, which can't make up for the height defect, and the three-point perimeter is not threatening enough. Therefore, the Magic did not regard Gordon as the core training object of the team in the future.
It was not until the third season of his career that Gordon sat firmly in the starting position of the team. Although his data and strength have not advanced by leaps and bounds, he has also made remarkable progress. Magic also focused on Gordon. In the fourth season of his career, Gordon, who averaged 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shot more than 30% for the first time in his career, showing everyone his potential to become an all-star player.
In the dunk contest of 16, Gordon and Lavin, who are also fledglings, are regarded as a pair of future twins, but Lavin has already become the core of the Bulls and one of the best shooting guards in the league. This season, he can contribute 25.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4. 1 assists per game and gradually play the role of Kobe's successor. After Gordon's steady growth, his average score dropped to 18- 19, but this season Gordon only contributed 14.2 points, which made many people question Gordon's strength. Even in Magic, he has almost become the third or even fourth choice for the team's offensive end.
Ever since joining the league, it has been around Gordon. The failure of the dunk contest and the decline of the team's state are enough to upset the 24-year-old young player, and the unsatisfactory situation is also inseparable from the positioning of Gordon by Magic. Gordon, who entered the league in the early days, is only a semi-finished product in both skill and shooting ability. Gordon's talent is not as good as Griffin's, but if magic is patiently cultivated, even if Gordon can't become an all-star, he can become a power forward player who can perfectly adapt to the small ball era. His excellent athletic ability, running without the ball and defensive attitude are all needed by the league power forward players at this stage, but the magic makes Gordon a small forward, which is equivalent to infinitely amplifying Gordon's poor outside projection, and Gordon's own ability to hold the ball is not enough to support him to make a lot of singles in the game, which also makes Gordon easy to struggle in the game.
However, Gordon is not without smooth sailing and good luck, but he is a little old in age. Gordon is a high school student player who is about to enter the university. He led the high school team to win the state championship twice and was elected as the state basketball player twice. The time when he was most cared for by the goddess of luck was the McDonald's All-Star Game held in 20 13, when he was only a minor celebrity in the United States. But in this all-star game, with 24 points and 8 rebounds, Wiggins and Parker, who were famous all over the United States at that time and ranked first and second in the draft, became the MVP of the all-star game, but this time it seems that Gordon's good luck has run out.
Fortunately, however, various setbacks did not have much impact on Gordon's mentality. On the court, Gordon is still conscientious in attack and defense, and off the court, Gordon has never given up polishing his strength through training. In the history of the league, there are many late bloomers. If Gordon can fight bravely in these setbacks and always keep an upward attitude, there will be a day when Yuelongmen will be a carp.
