NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 47 Tang Suit Westbrook

This left the spectators quite disappointed. It turned out that the whole thing was about jumping over motorcycles. What was the essential difference between this and jumping over teammates?

Moreover, jumping over teammates is more difficult than jumping over motorcycles because the vertical height of a person standing is definitely higher than that of a regular motorcycle.

Therefore, the difference in skill is obvious: Derrick Williams took three attempts to successfully jump over the motorcycle, while Budinger jumped over his teammate in one go.

With Derrick Williams completing his dunk, the first round of dunks has ended. Voting results are not yet available; the final results will be announced after all dunks have concluded.

In terms of the first round of dunks alone, only Budinger and Jia Fei succeeded on their first attempt, so in this respect, they were actually slightly ahead.

Derek Williams was a little annoyed. His idea, which he thought would amaze everyone, didn't end well. He messed it up, and it took him three tries to get it in. He was like a novice trying to find a hole for the first time, inexperienced and clumsy. He was too green!

Back on the sidelines, looking at the serious-looking Jia Fei, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. This guy must be mocking him again, he must be! But Jia Fei didn't say anything, and he couldn't find a reason to retaliate, which made him particularly frustrated and angrier the more he thought about it.

The second round of dunks will begin soon. The order of the dunks will be the same as the first round!

Budinger was the first to take the stage again. His move was simple and brutal: he jumped into the air, swung his arms, and slammed the ball in with one hand!

It was a success on the first try, but compared to the first dunk, this dunk was neither more difficult nor more creative; in fact, it was significantly less difficult.

Moreover, from an entertainment perspective, the dunk was just average, so much so that there wasn't much replay of it after it was done, and Jia Fei's turn to dunk came right away.

The crowd started to stir. Jia Fei's first dunk had already impressed many fans, and everyone was eager to see if he could pull off another amazing feat with his second dunk.

Jia Fei found an assistant—Westbrook!

Laughter and applause immediately erupted in the audience, because Westbrook was wearing a Tang suit and had a big smile on his face, which was really funny. Just this scene alone had already raised the audience's expectations to the max!

"How does Ja plan to play with Russell Westbrook?" the host asked.

Immediately, staff brought over a grand chair and placed it two meters in front of the basket. Westbrook, basketball in hand, sat down confidently.

Kobe said to his wife Vanessa, who was sitting next to him, "I bet Russ will be sitting here and tossing the ball to Ja, and then Ja will dunk it!"

Vanessa gazed at her husband with doting eyes, her large gaze seeming to say, "My darling, whatever you say goes!"

Jia Fei gestured to Westbrook, who then indicated that he was ready!

Jia Fei started his run near the center circle, stepping carefully, and jumped on one foot from a point just inside the free-throw line...

Westbrook tossed the ball up...

After receiving the ball, Jia Fei quickly switched it behind his back and then dunked with lightning speed! After completing the dunk, due to inertia, he rushed to a position several meters behind the baseline.

Applause and cheers immediately erupted in the arena. That was a spectacular play. Even disregarding Westbrook's play, the behind-the-back dunk alone would have scored a high number of points in the history of the Slam Dunk Contest.

This dunk is perfect in terms of its buzz, difficulty, and execution. The only shortcoming is probably the dunk itself, because neither sitting and tossing the ball for a dunk nor behind-the-back dunks are new moves.

After completing the dunk, Jia Fei smiled and hugged Westbrook, thanking him for his cooperation.

Westbrook was also very happy, and couldn't resist taking the ball in his Tang suit and throwing down a powerful dunk, satisfying his urge to dunk.

Jia Fei's outstanding performance has put pressure on his three competitors, and it's clear from the first two rounds that his current lead is undisputed. Of course, the dunk contest isn't over yet, and everything is still uncertain.

It was Paul George's turn to dunk for the second round, and Jia Fei went to the sidelines to rest.

As Jia Fei approached, Derrick Williams refused to meet his gaze and walked away a few steps.

Jia Fei didn't want to provoke them further; it would be pointless to keep provoking them. Some things are better left unsaid.

After Paul George entered the court, he gestured, and immediately all the lights in the arena went out. The audience's anticipation grew, and they were all guessing what he was going to do next; it seemed he was going to dunk in the dark.

As a result, the fluorescent lights at the scene showed that he turned around and slammed the ball 360 degrees, which was a successful dunk.

Finally, it was Derrick Williams' turn. He called on his teammate "Golden Boy" Rubio to cooperate. Rubio ran ahead with the ball and tossed it up, while Derrick Williams followed behind, slamming the ball in with an alley-oop.

This ball was also completed in one go; the difficulty was average, but fortunately, it was completed relatively smoothly.

In this way, both rounds of dunks were completed.

Kobe smiled confidently on the sidelines and said to his wife Vanessa, "I guessed right. I'll guess again: if Ja can dunk on his first try in the final round, he'll be the champion!"

Vanessa nodded and said, "Honey, this Ja is just as handsome as you were when you were young!"

The third round of dunks begins, with Budinger going first.

Budinger's third dunk was a blindfolded dunk. This dunk was actually quite dangerous and difficult. Fortunately, he succeeded on his second attempt.

In this way, he completed all three rounds of dunks, and he bowed to the audience in acknowledgment.

It's Jia Fei's turn!

The fans at the scene were also intrigued. Among the two rounds of dunks that had just ended, his dunks were the most satisfying of the four. Everyone wanted to see what kind of surprising performance he would deliver in the third round of dunks.

As a result, Jia Fei, holding a basketball on the sidelines, suddenly started taking off his clothes...

There was a gasp of amazement from the crowd. It turned out that he had another layer of clothing under his clothes. Underneath was a Philadelphia 76ers jersey with the number 6 and the name "Irving" clearly written on the back!

The camera work was quite interesting, switching instantly from Jia Fei to "Dr. J" Julius Irwin, who was present at the scene.

Dr. J laughed too; everyone was watching him, and he found it quite amusing. He wanted to see which dunk Jia Fei, wearing his jersey, would attempt.

It's important to know that Dr. J, as one of the first generation of dunking legends, left behind many classic dunking moves. He brought the art of dunking from the ABA to the NBA, where it became a popular cultural phenomenon.

Jia Fei put on Dr. J's number 6 jersey and even wore an afro wig, instantly making fans feel like they were back in the 80s.
