At the beginning of the final, LaVine took the lead and invited his teammate Shabazz Muhammad to help out. They had participated in the Rookie Challenge together before.

Muhammad held the ball flat under the basket, and LaVine stepped forward to get the ball and complete a crotch dunk. LaVine failed the first time but succeeded in dunking the second time. All five referees scored 9 points, and he scored 45 points.

Wang Jun is in a favorable position. Although LaVine can jump high, he doesn't have much creativity. He has already used the crotch switch today, which is obviously repeated.

When it was Wang Jun's turn to play, he found someone to put a bench under the basket, similar to the obstacle Gerald Green used when he won the dunk title.

That year, Green flew over an obstacle and hit a big windmill. Wang Jun's was even more difficult!

He ran up on the right wing, holding the ball in his right hand. He turned his backhand in a circle while running, and after jumping up, he turned his backhand in a circle and dunked the ball in. This is a reverse windmill, and it also leaps over obstacles, an action that has never been seen in the NBA Dunk Contest.

The judges all scored 10 points, and Wang Jun scored three consecutive perfect scores.

The video replay was played repeatedly on the big screen in the stadium, and almost all the spectators stood up and applauded.

Wang Jun scanned "mo"'s dunk. The most important thing is creativity. The players of and1 have average playing ability and mainly rely on dunk performances to attract the audience.

LaVine's morale has been knocked to the bottom and he has no confidence. For the last dunk, he invited teammate Muhammad again.

Muhammad hit the ball and bounced off the support pole of the basket. LaVine caught the ball, changed hands on his hips and dunked the ball in, completing it in two attempts.

Three judges scored 10 points, two gave 9 points, LaVine scored 48 points, and the total score in the two rounds was 93 points.

Many spectators chatted on the sidelines and were a little disappointed, thinking that it should not be given such a high score.

"Changing hands on the crotch, changing hands on the crotch again, won't he do something else? If he thinks like this, wouldn't Wang Jun do four consecutive 54° dunks to win the championship?"

"Wang Jun must have defended his title. The creativity is so different. Wang Jun's dunks are all unprecedented."

"Don't mess with the last dunk."

The audience was full of expectations for Wang Jun's last dunk.

Wang Jun will not let them down and is ready to make a trick. He hasn't mastered the 72° turn yet, but he has mastered another amazing trick.

He didn't find anyone to cooperate, so he threw the ball high from the left side. When the ball bounced, he just rushed to the basket, took off with his feet facing the basket, dribbled the ball from his left hand to his right hand, half-turned and dunked the ball in.

The same change of hands under the crotch, Wang Jun changed the ball from under his legs, almost assuming a high jump posture in the air.

The entire audience exclaimed together, another move that had never appeared in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

Buckley's mouth was wide open with an exaggerated expression, as if he could swallow a duck egg. “Oh my god, oh my god, it’s wonderful!”

O'Neal smiled and said: "Wang Jun has never lacked creativity in dunking, and he will definitely get full marks."

Smith lamented: "Now, ordinary 36-degree turns and crotch-switching dunks can no longer win. Wang Jun's performance will be recorded in history!"

The referees all scored 10 points. Wang Jun dunked four full points and won the dunk king for the fourth time.

ESPN's Mike Breen said: "His last button was stretched and elegant, showing the tension of every part of the body. No one could match him before, not even Carter."

Van Gundy said: "If you want to prevent Wang Jun from winning the championship, you have to find a dunk general from outside the NBA to participate. I think the league can consider this, and the competition will be more intense and exciting."

McBrin smiled and said: "Wang Jun's biggest contribution to Star Weekend is to bring back the fans' enthusiasm for the slam dunk contest after a long absence in recent years. He made people see the challenge of gravity. It's very It’s strange, the older he gets, the higher he jumps.”

Wang Jun was interviewed while holding his daughter Wang Qian. The child always wanted to reach for the trophy Wang Jun was holding in his other hand.

The trophy is large and designed with a square wooden base with a big shiny ball on it. In the eyes of children, this is just a toy. They run to the court and step on the base to want to climb up.

This scene was photographed by many photographers. She was still wearing the special small Wang Jun jersey, and once again successfully stole the spotlight.

Wang Jun said: "I will come again next time, because there are still some moves to do, and the next time should be the last time. I am not young anymore."

He doesn't know when his condition will decline, and he doesn't want to do too many things that violate the laws of physics. If he wins the slam dunk contest again next year, he will have completed three consecutive championships and a total of five championships, which is enough.

The reporter asked: "Your daughter seems to like ball very much. Will you let her play basketball in the future?"

"No, I will not arrange her life for her. What she wants to do in the future will be her own choice when she is sensible." Wang Jun replied.

The interview is over and today’s activities are over.

Back at the hotel, Wang Jun played with Wang Qian with plastic balls for a while, then read a book and told her stories.

As a Chinese, Wang Jun likes names and has never had an English name. His friends call him "Wang".

However, his daughter likes the name "Elsa" but doesn't like "Wang Qian". When she is called by her name, she slurs her mouth and thinks it doesn't sound good. She giggles when called by her English name, which makes Wang Jun a little helpless.

The two women have been raising the child for a long time, and they always call her by her English name. They also only like to call her by her surname, which would make her look too different from Wang Jun. Now they have developed a habit.

The stories told by the three of them were so exciting. The more the child listened, the more energetic she became. Probably because the festive atmosphere was strong for two consecutive days. She had never experienced such a lively occasion and she did not feel sleepy at all.

By the time he put the child to sleep, it was already two o'clock in the morning. The next day, Wang Jun had to do activities and training, and he had to buy gifts for his girlfriend on Valentine's Day. He was not very energetic and was preparing to continue playing soy sauce in the main game.

Different from previous public training, this year's All-Star training is scheduled to be held at the Knicks' home court. The players ran into the stadium from the tunnel one by one and enjoyed the cheers of the fans. The cheers are testimony to their popularity. "Melon" Anthony is undoubtedly the most popular king today.

Anthony found inspiration from Wang Jun and brought his son with him during training. During a break in training, he called his son to the court and played one-on-one with him. Although it was just a fool's errand, Melo's several post-ups failed and he didn't gain much of an advantage. His son was also wearing the Eastern Conference's No. 7 jersey. This scene was very cute.

Anthony was interviewed by the host at the scene. When asked about the many people questioning him and saying that he should not be selected for the All-Stars, Melo responded strongly: "I don't care, it was my fans who elected me to the All-Stars." A star, so I think I deserve to be selected!”

This response received a positive response from the fans at the scene, and there was a new round of shouting. The host even called out: "This is the pride of our New York!"

Of course, popularity does not mean winning. In the All-Star Game in the evening, the Western Stars defeated the Eastern Stars 163-158, winning 7 consecutive games in the All-Star Game.

Wang Jun has no pursuit of MVP in the All-Star Game. It is this kind of relaxed mentality that allows him to perform beautifully. He made 9 of 14 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 25 points and 4 rebounds. 6 assists and 2 steals.

Curry performed normally, making 6 of 16 shots, 15 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.

Russell Westbrook came on as a substitute, played 26 minutes, made 16 of 28 shots, scored 41 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals, and was eventually elected mVp.

James scored the most points in the East, making 11 of 21 shots, 4 of 12 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, 5 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. His performance was terrible.
