By the court, in front of the contestants' seats, Aaron Gordon wore a helpless expression.
Faced with Chen Xi's outrageous performance, there was nothing he could do.
There really was nothing he could do. Failing to get a perfect score on his first dunk had been his biggest blunder of the night. (Wade, you win~~)
Even though he had gone all out and pulled out a huge move for his second dunk, it had been too late.
What was more, judging from Chen's still effortless state, even if he had pulled out two more huge moves, he probably would not have had much of a chance to win tonight.
Setting everything else aside, just that final dunk alone was enough—Gordon had no move that could possibly suppress it.

After nearly a minute of celebration, the jubilant atmosphere finally began to settle, and the cameras returned to the judges' table.

Another five perfect 50s!
With four perfect 50-point dunks in tonight's Slam Dunk Contest, Chen Xi crushed the competition and claimed the final victory! He was crowned the Dunk King!!

The 2024 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest officially came to a close!
