Hu Guang received the maximum 50 points on each of his two slam
dunks to win the Dunk Contest of the All-Star Game of the Chinese
Basketball Association (CBA) on Sunday.
The reigning champion, who was tagged as the best dunker in
China, gave out a full showof his floating ability in the air to
win the referees' favorite.
Jiangsu Dragons' young guard Yi Li got 95 points, also perfect
on his second try, whileOlumide Oyedeji of the Beijing Ducks was
one point minus on third.
Ryan Forehan-Kelly from the Dragons retired on injury, which he
suffered during the regular season.
Nigerian center Oyedeji started the contest with a dunk that he
erupted from a chair beneath the basket to slam the ball into the
goal, but his creative idea did not get the nod of the referees,
consisted of CBA coaches and basketball legends.
He won 50 points too on his second dunk, but Yi Li's left-handed
slam was also flawless.
Hu from the Shanxi Gaitianli faced against the basket to make
the dunk with two hands.The second one was a left-handed but he
swayed the ball from his knee to his head when he was floating in
the air.
