NBA's King of Talking

In the inaugural NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 1984, Dr. J, sporting an afro, wore the Philadelphia 76ers' number 6 jersey. Unexpectedly, over 20 years later, an Asian man donned the same afro and the same jersey, appearing on the court at the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

This retro outfit intrigued the fans, instantly igniting their excitement. Everyone was eager to see what dunk Jia Fei would pull off—a free-throw line dunk, or Dr. J's classic one-handed windmill dunk?

The answer will be revealed in the next dunk!

Jia Fei waved his hand upwards, trying to stir up the atmosphere and push the dunk contest to its climax. He wanted to attract everyone's attention so that he could get the most votes!

Jia Fei held the ball in one hand and stood near the center circle. At this moment, many people had already guessed what kind of dunk he might be about to perform.

Dr. J, sitting on the sidelines, was naturally overjoyed. Everyone wants to be remembered, and one way to do so is to have young people pay tribute to you. Nostalgia-driven hype has its purpose, but the benefit is that the former stars can remain in the public eye for a while longer.

Jia Fei started moving, dribbling the ball straight toward the basket. When he got close to the three-point line, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and took three steps!

In the final step, he jumped before even stepping onto the free-throw line, gliding over a distance greater than Dr. J had done back then!

Everyone present knew that Jia Fei's dunk this time would be a dunk starting from the free-throw line!

He raised the fire to the sky, and his whole body was in the air like a stroller. In that instant, it was as if time stood still, and he really seemed to take off!

With a crisp sound of the slam dunk hitting the rim, Jia Fei completed the dunk and then landed successfully!

A thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd, the loudest cheer since the start of the dunk contest. The camera then immediately switched from Jia Fei to several masters in the audience, including Dr. J and Brad Barry, both of whom had previously performed free-throw line jumps in the dunk contest.

Dr. J clapped continuously, looking very satisfied. Jia Fei's dunk was a great success, even more difficult than his own back then.

Kobe told Vanessa, "There's no suspense anymore, Ja will be the champion!"

Vanessa always trusted her husband, and she nodded obediently. She really wanted to give her lover a baby boy so that he could inherit the mantle of this indomitable Black Mamba.

Jia Fei's three dunks were all finished, but the dunk contest wasn't over yet. However, it was clear that the spectators were losing interest in the next two dunks.

Paul George's third dunk was a tribute to his predecessor. He leaped into the air, slapped a large photo of Larry Bird onto the backboard, slid down the backboard, and completed a reverse dunk. It took him three attempts to complete the move.

Derrick Williams, who was the last to appear, still attempted a move with Rubio, but it failed. He had to change his move, but still failed to complete it. In the end, he could only finish with a simple catch and a powerful two-handed dunk.

Finally, all four players finished their three rounds of dunks. The camera panned across their faces, and judging from their expressions, Jia Fei seemed the most relaxed.

The results are not yet in, but judging from the reactions at the scene, Jia Fei has the best chance of winning the championship!

The statistics were still being compiled on site. Jia Fei was very excited, as he had a good chance of winning the championship, which meant he had a good chance of completing the mission!

The data tally was quickly completed. After voting by fans worldwide, Thunder's Jia Fei received 88% of the votes, winning the Slam Dunk Contest!

When the host announced the result, Jia Fei's good friend Kemba Walker was even happier than him, and he played a passionate "chest bumping performance" with him, which became a classic moment of the day!

Budinger and Paul George both congratulated Jia Fei, except for Derrick Williams.

Jia Fei didn't care; he was going to complete his mission, and he didn't care about such trivial matters!

Next came the awards ceremony, and Jia Fei smiled as he accepted the trophy symbolizing his championship in the dunk contest. Photographers' lenses were pointed at him, and in that instant, he became the focus of the entire event.

The slam dunk contest trophy is a rectangular wooden box topped with a sphere that looks a bit like stainless steel. Honestly, this trophy is really ugly. It would be better if it were smaller; making it so big takes up a lot of space, especially since I don't live very big.

But no matter what, a champion is a champion. Jia Fei also heard that the champion would receive a $10 bonus. Even though that money is taxed, it's still a significant sum for him, considering his salary this season is less than $100 million!

The event organizers immediately invited Dr. J to take a photo with Jia Fei, the newly crowned dunk champion.

Dr. J is 201cm tall and weighs 95kg. When he was young, he was very similar in build to Jia Fei, but now he has also gained weight and his hair has turned white, making him look like an uncle.

"You did very well, you deserve the championship, Jia Fei!" Dr. J said with a kind smile, giving Jia Fei a hug.

Jia Fei humbly kept saying "thank you".

Jia Fei also made sure Dr. J signed his 76ers jersey with the number 6, which Dr. J readily agreed to.

Dr. J was also very happy today. No legend dislikes young people using him as a topic of nostalgia, as it lets more people know how awesome he was back then. He just didn't expect the nostalgia to come so suddenly, and that the other party was actually a yellow-skinned Asian.

Jia Fei won the 2012 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, making him the first person of Asian descent to win the Slam Dunk Contest!

For the past two weeks, one Asian player sparked "Linsanity" in the league, and today, another Asian player became the Slam Dunk Contest champion.

The presence of Asians in the NBA did not disappear with Yao Ming's retirement; they are proving their existence in their own way.

Kemba Walker accepted Jia Fei's trophy and said in surprise, "I didn't expect this trophy to look so big but be so light. Jia, I heard there's a prize money for winning the championship. What are you planning to do with it?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!" Jia Fei suddenly laughed. "But anyway, it's my treat today!"

“Sure, great, I love it!” Kemba Walker laughed.

That evening, Jia Fei treated everyone to dinner at his hotel. He invited Kemba Walker, Westbrook, Durant, and Coach Cheeks.

Kemba Walker is his good friend and has been helping him, so of course we should ask him for help. Westbrook assisted him with the dunk, and he deserves credit for this championship. As for Durant and Cheeks, one is the team's leader and the other is the team's lead assistant coach, so it's essential to maintain good relationships with them.
