在NBA扣篮大赛中为斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 正名的任务,将落在卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 的肩上。
据联盟消息人士透露,这位马刺新秀前锋已确认参加下月于洛杉矶全明星周末期间举办的扣篮大赛。
布莱恩特是去年六月选秀大会上来自亚利桑那大学的第14顺位新秀,他的参赛也让马刺队连续第二年有新秀站上扣篮大赛的舞台。
去年在旧金山,卡斯尔最终获得亚军,而颇具争议地赢得个人扣篮大赛三连冠的则是G联盟球员迈克·麦克朗 (Mac McClung)。
卡斯尔曾表示,他对参加今年的比赛不感兴趣。
据报道,麦克朗将不会寻求卫冕四连冠,他将缺席今年的扣篮大赛,以便专注于争取一个球队大名单席位。本次大赛的完整参赛名单预计将在晚些时候公布。
来自洛杉矶湖人队、曾效力于德克萨斯大学的中锋贾克森·海斯 (Jaxson Hayes) 预计也将参赛。

It will be up to Carter Bryant to avenge Stephon Castle’s honor in the NBA slam dunk contest.
The Spurs rookie forward has been added to the field for this year’s event held during All-Star weekend next month in Los Angeles, league sources say.
The 14th pick in last June’s draft out of Arizona, Bryant gives the Spurs a rookie entrant in the dunk contest for the second year in a row.
Last year in San Francisco, Castle finished runner-up to G Leaguer Mac McClung, who won his third straight dunk title in contentious fashion.
Castle has said he was not interested in participating in this year’s contest.
Reports has indicated that McClung will not attempt to defend his crown for the fourth time and will skip the dunk contest this year so he can focus on making a roster. The full field for the contest is expected to be announced at a later date.
Los Angeles Lakers and former University of Texas center Jaxson Hayes is expected to compete in the contest.
