NBA's King of Talking

Many familiar faces were present, including NBA legends, Hollywood stars, NCAA head coaches, and prominent sports journalists.

Jia Fei quickly found Durant and Westbrook, and Westbrook waved for him to come over.

It's true that Westbrook is a fashion pioneer. He looks like a goofy guy and doesn't have the slightest bit of idol star charisma from head to toe, but he really knows how to be fashionable! As the old saying goes, "Clothes make the man," and today he wore a god-level outfit that runway models wear. He is indeed a man at the forefront of fashion.

As for Durant… let’s not even mention him. He’s wearing a hat again, and it’s one of those round beanies. This time it’s a little better than the last time; he’s not wearing a green beanie, but it’s not that much different. This one is sky blue, so from a distance it looks like green…

Unlike Westbrook's "runway outfit," Durant wore a slightly baggy sweater and sweatpants today. He's already narrow-shouldered and thin, and with a slight hunchback, he looked somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, unkempt, or slovenly) and slovenly. The sweater didn't fit him well, making him look even more disheveled. If you didn't know he was a multi-millionaire, or an NBA star, you'd definitely think he was just a loser!

Durant truly has a masterful grasp of the "loser" vibe.

Jia Fei sat down next to Westbrook, and Westbrook quickly explained the game to him.

Jia Fei glanced at Durant and noticed that the team leader seemed to be distracted from the game, so he followed his gaze. He was surprised to see that several stylish and attractive fans were sitting there.

Seeing Durant's eyes light up, and noticing him unconsciously swallowing, Jia Fei sighed inwardly...

Which team has the strongest "loser" vibe? The Oklahoma City Thunder have Kevin Durant!

Jia Fei focused his attention on the game. The NBA All-Star Rising Stars Challenge was practically devoid of any defensive intensity; everyone was just having fun and showing off their individual skills. It wasn't a very exciting game, more like playing a 2K game.

Without defense, you'll find that almost everyone becomes a scorer, with sharpshooters everywhere. The baskets on both sides are constantly being pulled up by these exceptionally talented young players, and the scoring on both sides is ridiculously high.

Ultimately, Team O'Neal lost to Team Barkley, and this year's number one draft pick, Kyrie Irving, won the Rising Stars Challenge MVP.

After the game, Jia Fei approached Coach Cheeks to congratulate him.

"Jay, good luck in tomorrow's dunk contest too!" Coach Cheeks said with a smile, offering encouragement.

"Yes, I definitely will!" Jia Fei said.

The individual competitions of the Orlando All-Star Weekend will take place the following day.

The first event was the Shooting Stars competition, in which the New York team, led by mid-range shooting champion Allan Houston, ultimately triumphed over all other competitors to claim the title.

Next up is the Skills Challenge, with six participants this year: Curry, Irving, Parker, Wall, Westbrook, and Deron Williams.

Jia Fei was naturally cheering for his teammate Westbrook, and he also saw the Heat's Big Three at the event. Compared to Durant's nerdy image, James, despite his unattractive appearance and being called a "gorilla reincarnation" in China, clearly had much better fashion sense than Durant. It seems that once a man gets married, he is influenced by his wife, and his fashion sense naturally changes as well.

The skills challenge was also very exciting, a race against time, and in the end, Parker won the championship.

Following the Skills Challenge was the Three-Point Contest, which also featured six participants: Ryan Anderson, Mario Chalmers, Kevin Durant, James Jones, Kevin Love, and Anthony Morrow.

Jia Fei naturally supported his teammate, Du Huang.

As it turned out, Love won the championship...

After watching the three-point shooting contest, Jia Fei went to the sidelines to prepare; it was almost his turn to compete! The next individual event would be the grand finale—the dunk contest!

The Slam Dunk Contest has always been a highlight of the NBA All-Star Weekend. Even though the creativity of the Slam Dunk Contest has been declining in recent years and many established stars are unwilling to participate, it still cannot stop fans' enthusiasm for this event.

The big screen at the venue continuously replayed exciting moments from past dunk contests, stimulating the hormones of the fans and warming up the atmosphere.

The host introduced the contestants of this year's Slam Dunk Contest with very engaging words.

The first one is Budinger, the second one is Derrick Williams, the third one is Paul George, and the fourth one is Jia Fei!

When Jia Fei was introduced, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. Fans were more excited for Jia Fei than for Shumpert. In fact, he was arguably the most anticipated of the four dunk contestants tonight.

It wasn't because his dunking ability was far superior to the other three, but because he was Asian. In NBA history, no Asian has ever participated in the Slam Dunk Contest, let alone won.

The idea that people of Asian descent cannot fly is no longer just a stereotype within the NBA, but a common perception in the global basketball community.

Jia Fei's appearance in the Slam Dunk Contest, regardless of his final result, is already a huge surprise and a credit to the NBA All-Star organizers.

When the spotlight shone on Jia Fei, he suddenly felt like the center of attention, and it was an amazing feeling. He had never experienced being in the spotlight before, and he was certain he loved it!

But it was clear that his three opponents were somewhat unhappy about the loudest applause he received, with the most unhappy being the second overall pick, Derrick Williams.

Neither Budinger nor Paul George are familiar with Jia Fei, but they are familiar with Derrick Williams. The two had a "friendly conversation" in Chicago, and they never expected to face each other again after more than half a year.

Jia Fei glanced at Derek Williams and noticed the hostility in Williams' eyes. He wasn't afraid of this hostility; on the contrary, he was quite excited.

It looks like I'm going to get angry today. Come on, let the anger rage even more intensely!

“I didn’t expect you to come too!” Derek Williams said.

Jia Fei nodded: "Now that I'm participating, you're out of the running!"

"What did you say?" Derek Williams was surprised by the guy's arrogance.

“I’m telling you, you have no chance!” Jia Fei said, enunciating each word clearly.

Derrick Williams has become popular again. It's surprising that after so much time, his mouth is still so foul.

The on-site host was urging the participants to wait on the sidelines to clear the court.

Derrick Williams stormed off to the sidelines.
