Chen Dengxing, a 35-year-old amateur basketball player in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, went viral on social media platforms for his dunking skills.

Chen, 176 centimeters in height, is a skilled jumper capable of flying 1.25 meters into the air with a run-up. His first successful dunk was made in 2004 when he was a high school student, and his love for basketball has never subsided.

In 2011, he began taking part in dunking competitions and gradually earned a reputation.

He spends three to four hours on strength training and dunking every day.

The fact that he is no longer young and is on the short side for a basketball player makes his jumping and dunking skills even more incredible.

Chen said he is looking forward to the 19th Asian Games in 2022 in the city of Hangzhou. "I wish to make some contributions to the Asian Games and show off Chinese dunking skills to more the world," he exclaimed.
