Still want to be Superman in this life?

Not a chance!

At this moment, Howard, who was sitting on the sidelines dumbfounded, obviously had no idea how Qin Yue's glide dunk from the free-throw line, completed by an inside player, would impact his future.

But, noticing that all five judges successively gave Qin Yue a score of 10, James...

Couldn't shake the feeling that Qin Yue was targeting him.

Because Qin Yue's talent-revealing dunk starkly contrasted with his own failed long-distance tomahawk dunk earlier.

"Nowhere to express the desolation" was definitely an accurate depiction of James' true feelings during his second dunk in tonight's final.

Yet, at the Thomas-Mark Center, no fans cared anymore about how this young King would end his performance with a dunk.

After receiving the basketball high up from Cavaliers teammate Mo Williams, James, jumping with all his might, concluded his first and most likely last dunk contest journey with a furious tomahawk slam born out of frustration.

It was a very exaggerated tomahawk slam.

Though it lacked any skill, as James jumped, most of his head soared over the rim.

This dunk earned James a total score of 89 points in the final.

Then, as James silently returned to the sidelines, he heard the entire Gambling City Las Vegas erupting in...

Deafening cheers for Qin Yue!

Qin Yue's final dunk in the contest was perfectly concluded with a baseline run-up, receiving a pass from Paul, followed by an under-the-legs super windmill!

During the dunk, Qin Yue, whose sense of power surpassed that of Little Jones in later years, almost seemed like he was about to tear down the entire basketball hoop.

This was a dunk Qin Yue deliberately chose to pay tribute to Duncan.

To avoid future fans thinking that players produced by Wake Forest only knew how to perform stationary windmills, as the tallest Mountain Peak from Wake Forest, Qin Yue felt he had both the duty and responsibility to clarify this point.

However, this dunk, which originally should have scored full points, only received a score of 9 from Jordan.

The reason being that Jordan, who was already in a bad mood, could only describe his feelings as collapsing after witnessing Qin Yue's four dunks.

"I gave him 1 point less to prevent him from becoming too arrogant."

During an interview, Jordan, with tears in his eyes, said this.

Regarding the 9 points given by Jordan, Qin Yue said, "I completely understand Michael's deep intention behind giving me 9 points.

I will carry his encouragement, remain grounded and reject shortcuts, striving to one day become a player as great as he is."

In the VIP box, Stern, who witnessed the entire dunk contest, became even more determined to continue supporting Qin Yue.

Although Qin Yue is not an American player, Stern has foreseen Qin Yue's future influence on the entire basketball world.

Unlike Adam Silver in later years, from the start of his overseas layout, Stern was very clear that...

If basketball only had influence in the United States, no matter how much the NBA stirred things up, it would only be, in fact, the third in North America, and might at any time rank fourth as a sports league.

Only by looking globally can the NBA attract more young people's attention as the overlord of the basketball world.

This year, even excluding votes from Chinese fans, Qin Yue was the All-Star vote king, which clearly shows his popularity in the entire basketball world.

It must be said that Qin Yue has indeed arrived in a wonderful era.

Because the current era, the mental state of American fans, not to mention being fundamentally the same as future Chinese fans, at least can be said to be comparable.

The continuous defeats in the 02, 04, and 06 championships have rendered American fans almost despairing of the future of American basketball.

In such a mental state, they are clearly more accepting of a super player from abroad dominating the NBA.

Moreover...

Since Qin Yue came to the United States at the age of 15 and stood out in American College Basketball... so the acceptance level of American fans for this new NBA icon from Asia has always been quite considerable?

In any case, the currently dazzling Qin Yue, after this year's dunk contest, has completely secured his position as the top player in the NBA.

This Messiah from the Bay Area has used his breathtakingly great performance in Gambling City Las Vegas to conquer all basketball enthusiasts except for the unique group of "Qin Hei."

And James?

Sitting alone on the sidelines, biting his thumb.

Watching Qin Yue walk toward the center of the stage after the competition, take away the championship trophy that had long been reserved for him...

When all the halo of the Chosen One was completely shattered by that Destructive Satan, and when that great competition utterly became Qin Yue's personal solo act, with that colossal object, the King didn't even have the chance to draw his sword...

James was most worried about not this defeat?

What he was most worried about was Qin Yue taking away everything that originally belonged to him.

In the NBA, in the conversation topics of daily people, the portion he occupied is increasingly less, and correspondingly, Qin Yue is almost daily appearing on news hot searches.

In the past, every time he faced those superstars...

Especially the attention brought by the encounters with Kobe...

It wasn't even a match compared to Qin Yue facing Kobe in a duel.

Originally planning the "23VS24" matchup with Nike and the league at this time, now there is even a strong inclination to push Kobe onto the stage to continue the showdown with Qin Yue.

The never-give-up Los Angeles people will never accept the rule of the Destructive Satan — look, isn't this a great story theme?

In his first career year, becoming a savior to lead the Warriors to cup victory after a 31-year gap, and in just his second year of career, already being compared to the God of Basketball Michael Jordan — isn't this what the league and all the fans most expect… as the new flag of the post-Jordan era in the NBA?

He is heroic and upright, with a handsome appearance, plus a magnificent playing style, yet not devoid of passion and toughness — aside from that part of the "Qin Hei," which fan wouldn't be utterly mesmerized seeing this new flag of the league?

He constantly hits headlines both on and off the court, not only breaking record after record but also providing all sorts of news for gossip journalists — which media house wouldn't call him a cash cow seeing this human hot-search engine?

Until this moment, James finally understood...

He simply couldn't coexist with this good bro of his.

Because as Qin Yue destroys everything around him...he will inevitably take away all the glory that originally belonged to all the stars of this era!

A general's success requires the bones of a thousand heroes!

Once he reaches the Mountain Peak, the entire NBA will undoubtedly be strewn with bones!

Those ever-savvy general managers, because they've foreseen the future, are hence racking their brains to make deal after deal.

After all, the last Satan who began destructing the NBA had long warned the world with one tragic story after another of "uncrowned kings" in the 90s.

At the center of the court, when asked by the host about the special meaning of this dunk contest trophy to him, Qin Yue responded, "I don't think it has any special meaning; I participated in the dunk contest just to raise the audience's aesthetic appreciation of dunking skills and satisfy the wishes of fans who wanted me to join the event.

You know, I'm not one to disappoint, so I hoped more dunk masters would come to compete for runner-up, because even if it's just for the award ceremony process, I still want the event to be more exciting."

Then, the host asked, "Will you participate in the dunk contest again in the future?"

Qin Yue shook his head and said, "No, I have already completed my mission."

After pausing for a moment, Qin Yue added, "Next, I will leave the championship of this event to the next generation."
