加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德报道——在全明星周六举办的扣篮大赛决赛中，卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 惜败给凯沙德·约翰逊 (Keshad Johnson)，这让他几乎流下眼泪。
但这正是马刺队乐于见到的：这位20岁的新秀痛恨失败——无论是在什么事情上。
“输掉比赛是地球上最糟糕的事情，”布莱恩特说道，“这是最差的感觉。它刻骨铭心，让人感到刺痛和伤感。所以，我的意思是，事实就是如此，但这绝不会是一种被遗忘的感觉。”
约翰逊克服了布莱恩特在决赛首轮拿到的满分表现。这位效力于迈阿密热火队、正处于职业生涯第二年的24岁球员，最后一次扣篮从评委席后起步，随后从罚球线起跳，完成了一个单手大风车扣篮。他的第一扣是一个胯下动作，得到了更高的分数。
布莱恩特在决赛首轮拿到了本次比赛的最高分：他将球击向身前，随后胯下接球，完成了一个迅猛且势大力沉的大风车扣篮。
包括前马刺球员布伦特·巴里 (Brent Barry) 在内的全部五名评委都给了他50分的满分。
但这位出生于附近里弗赛德市的球员在第二次尝试中表现挣扎。在球砸篮板后的反身扣篮尝试中，他前两次都未能成功。随着90秒倒计时的流逝，他还气定神闲地与NBC分析师文斯·卡特 (Vince Carter) 闲聊，最终他只需要拿到47.6分就能夺冠，但他最后一次尝试只能以一个普通的扣篮草草收场。
“如果我扣进了那个球，我就赢了，”布莱恩特说，“那可能是我这辈子在今天所有动作里练过最多的动作。我从14岁起就开始练那个扣篮了。只是没抓好球，运气不在我这边。但这发生了，这就是生活的一部分。”

约翰逊在扣篮前后的舞蹈也让直觉穹顶体育馆 (Intuit Dome) 的观众大饱眼福。在从ABA-NBA传奇球星、评委朱利叶斯·欧文 (Julius Erving) 手中接过奖杯后，约翰逊说道：“所有的孩子们，继续追梦吧，任何事情都有可能发生。我只是来到这里展现给世人看。”
参赛的四人名单还包括洛杉矶湖人队的贾克森·海斯 (Jaxson Hayes) 和奥兰多的杰斯·理查德森 (Jase Richardson)。曾三次夺冠、目前与芝加哥公牛签下双向合同的麦克·麦克朗 (Mac McClung) 选择不参赛。布莱恩特的几位马刺队友也到场为他助威，其中包括斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)，他在去年的旧金山全明星决赛中输给了麦克朗。
布莱恩特表示，他很高兴看到同样来自亚利桑那大学的校友夺得奖杯。
“凯沙德做得非常棒，”他说道，“他是亚利桑那大学的人。如果必须要由别人把奖杯带回家，我很高兴那个人是他。”
布莱恩特也可以从本赛季自己在扣篮方面的成长中得到慰藉。在本赛季早些时候的比赛中，他曾几次扣篮失手，这些失败导致一些资深队友发誓，如果他再次扣飞，就剃光他的头。
“说来也讽刺，扣篮大赛的失利正是今年大家一直在开玩笑的话题，”布莱恩特说，“所以每件事里都有一点真相。”
布莱恩特表示，他希望明年在菲尼克斯举行的全明星周末能再次获得参加扣篮大赛的机会。
“那也是我的家乡，”他说，“我很想在我的野猫队（亚利桑那大学校队）家人面前再试一次。”
马刺新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 周六也遭遇了失败，但他对此表现得很乐观，并在“投篮之星”竞赛中将哈珀队的失利归咎于他的父亲。
尼克斯队——卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns)、杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 和阿兰·休斯顿 (Allan Houston)——以47分夺得冠军，战胜了由三位杜克大学校友康·克努佩尔 (Kon Knueppel)、杰伦·约翰逊 (Jalen Johnson) 和考利·马盖蒂 (Corey Maggette) 组成的卡梅隆队，后者得分为38分。
哈珀、他的兄弟小罗恩·哈珀 (Ron Harper Jr.) 以及他们的父亲罗恩 (Ron)，与全明星队的理查德·汉密尔顿 (Richard Hamilton)、切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 和斯科蒂·巴恩斯 (Scottie Barnes) 一起在首轮被淘汰。

“我认为我爸在篮下上篮时奠定了基调，”迪伦·哈珀开玩笑地提到了他62岁的父亲表现挣扎的情况，“我们都知道结果会怎样，知道会发生什么。”
老哈珀在他15年的NBA生涯中曾获得过五次NBA总冠军，他希望他的儿子们——小罗恩目前效力于波士顿凯尔特人队——有机会获得属于他们自己的冠军戒指。
“我当然希望他们赢得比我更多的戒指，”罗恩说道，“我希望他们能赢下六枚、七枚、八枚戒指。他们都在两支非常出色的篮球队和伟大的组织效力，我绝对希望他们能赢得一些戒指。”
当被具体问及迪伦的前景时，罗恩说：“我认为马刺队是一个一流的地方。他有机会在那里学习比赛，并与一些非常优秀的球员一起打球。如果他们能作为一个篮球俱乐部继续建设，他们将会有机会。”
尤其是拥有像布莱恩特这样求胜欲极强的球员，他在周五晚上帮助球队赢得了新秀挑战赛的小型锦标赛。
“失败太糟糕了。我讨厌失败。这是我地球上最讨厌的事情，无论是在什么方面，”布莱恩特说道，“我甚至不在乎那是不是一局UNO游戏，不在乎是不是折返跑练习，不在乎是不是投篮比赛。那种失败的感觉，真的让人如坐针毡。我就是讨厌它。那是你不想感受到的东西，但我会赢回来的。我肯定会以某种方式赢回来。”

Carter Bryant left with ‘worst feeling’ after loss in dunk contest

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Carter Bryant’s loss to Keshad Johnson in the final round of the Slam Dunk contest at All-Star Saturday left him nearly in tears.
And that’s the silver lining for the Spurs: The 20-year-old rookie hates to lose — at anything.
“Losing is the worst thing on planet Earth,” Bryant said. “It’s the worst feeling. It just runs deep. It stings. It hurts. So, I mean, it is what it is, but it is not going to be a feeling that’s forgot.”
Johnson overcame perfect scores registered by Bryant on his first dunk in the final round. The 24-year-old second-year pro with the Miami Heat began his final dunk behind the judge’s table before taking off the from the foul line to bury a one-handed windmill slam. His first dunk, a between-the-legs move, earned a higher score.
Bryant collected the contest’s highest score with his first dunk in the final round when he bounced the ball in front of him, caught it between his legs and delivered a swift, thundering windmill slam.
All five judges, including former Spur Brent Barry, gave him perfect 50 marks.
But the native of nearby Riverside struggled on his second attempt, missing the first two tries on a reverse attempt after bouncing the ball off the glass. With the 90-second clock running down while he chatted casually with NBC analyst Vince Carter, he had to settle for a mundane dunk on his final try when he needed a 47.6 to win the contest.
“If I put that dunk down, I win it,” Bryant said. “That’s probably the dunk I’ve made the most out of all the dunks I did today in my life. I’ve been doing that dunk since I’ve been 14. Just didn’t get the ball. Didn’t roll my way. But it happens. It’s a part of life.”

Johnson also entertained the crowd at Intuit Dome with his dancing before and after his dunks. After accepting the trophy from ABA-NBA legend and judge Julius Erving, Johnson said, “All the kids out there, keep dreaming, anything can happen. I just came out here and showed people.”
The four-man field also included the Los Angeles Lakers’ Jaxson Hayes and Orlando’s Jase Richardson. Three-time champion Mac McClung, who is on a two-way contract with Chicago, chose not to participate. Several of Bryant’s Spurs teammates were on hand to cheer him on, including Stephon Castle, who lost to McClung in the final round last year in San Francisco.
Bryant said he was glad a fellow Arizona alumnus claimed the trophy.
“Keshad did a great job,” he said. “That’s an Arizona guy. If anybody else could take it home, glad it was him.”
Bryant could also take solace in how far he’s come as a dunker this season. He missed several attempts in games earlier in the season, failures that led to some of his veteran teammates vowing to shave his head if he missed again.
“Ironically enough, the downfall of the dunk contest was everything everybody has been joking about this year,” Bryant said, “so there’s a little bit of truth in everything.”
Bryant said he hopes to get another shot at the dunk contest at All-Star weekend next season in Phoenix.
“That’s home for me too,” he said. “I would love to get another try in front of my Wildcat family.”
Spurs rookie Dylan Harper also suffered a loss Saturday, but he had some fun with it, blaming his dad for Team Harper’s downfall in the Shooting Stars competition.
Team Knicks — Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson and Allan Houston — claimed the event with 47 points over Team Cameron’s trio of Duke products, Kon Knueppel, Jalen Johnson and Corey Maggette, which had 38.
Harper, his brother Ron Harper Jr., and their father Ron and Team All-Star’s Richard Hamilton, Chet Holmgren and Scottie Barnes got eliminated after the first round.

“I think my dad kind of set the standard on the layups,” Dylan Harper joked, referring to his 62-year-old father’s struggles. “We all kind of knew the outcome, what was coming.”
The elder Harper, who won five NBA titles during his 15-year NBA career, hopes his sons — Ron Jr. is with the Boston Celtics — will have a chance to collect some rings of their own.
“I hope they win more rings than I ever have, for sure,” Ron said. “I want them to win six, seven, eight rings. They both play on two great basketball teams, great organizations, and I definitely hope they win some rings.”
Asked specifically about Dylan’s future, Ron said, “I think the Spurs are a first-class place. He has a chance to learn the ball game and play with some very good basketball players there. And if they keep continuing to build as a basketball club, they will have a chance.”
Especially with ultra-competitive players like Bryant, who helped his team win the Rising Stars mini-tournament on Friday night.
“Losing sucks. I hate losing. That’s the thing I hate the most on Earth, no matter what it is,” Bryant said. “I could care less if it was an UNO game. I care less if I’m running lines. I could care less if it’s a shooting competition. That feel of losing, it’s something that burns. I just hate it. That’s something you don’t want to feel, but I’m going to get it back. I’m for sure going to get it back one way or another.”
