The All-Star Weekend's second day of individual competitions wasn't as star-studded, but the process and results were quite unexpected.

In the Skills Challenge, a big man once again defeated a smaller player.

Kristaps Porziņģis defeated Karl-Anthony Towns in the big men's final, and then beat Isaiah Thomas from the small men's bracket to win the championship.

While the fans' visual experience was fully satisfied, they also realized that this event, which originally belonged to the smaller guys, was now completely dominated by the big men.

With two consecutive championships, plus his outstanding performance for the Suns this season, Porziņģis has begun to emerge as the new generation's star power forward.

In the Three-Point Contest, Klay Thompson's performance was just like his performance this season: eliminated in the preliminary round.

Eric Gordon defeated Bojan Bogdanović and C.J. McCollum in the final to successfully take the Three-Point Contest championship.

This was also his second Three-Point Contest championship; the last time was with the Pelicans.

He has been thriving with the Rockets this season, enjoying a second spring, and this championship proves his condition.

When Gordon won the championship, Tang Tian also got up to congratulate him.

Gordon was one of the first players to become teammates with Tang Tian, but unfortunately, he was traded before he could witness the Pelicans win the championship.

At that time, he was in poor condition, but now he has found his form again after coming to the Rockets, and Tang Tian is happy for him.

The results of the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest were somewhat unexpected, but what was truly surprising was the Slam Dunk Contest.

Aaron Gordon's first participation was an instant hit, scoring three perfect scores in four dunks, easily winning the Slam Dunk Contest with a total score of 195 points.

Although the competition was almost one-sided, fans are increasingly looking forward to next year's Slam Dunk Contest. With LaVine returning from injury and Gordon's strong performance, it's imaginable that it will be an epic battle, comparable to Tang Tian and LaVine back in the day.

The Slam Dunk Contest ended, and the second day of the All-Star Weekend also came to an end.

Tang Tian spent yesterday eating and drinking with Olsen at the Mars Project, and today he pulled his "bitter training brothers" to start a private party at the Mars Project, living a carefree life.

This year was a complete success for the "bitter training brothers," with Tang Tian, Irving, Thompson, Butler, and Walker all selected for the All-Star Game.

In addition to them, Drummond also came. This younger brother of Tang Tian Kang, who also trained at the "bitter training brothers" training camp, was also considered part of the group.

This meant that out of the 24 All-Stars, the "bitter training brothers" accounted for 6, which is a quarter of the total.

Compared to the "Four Horsemen" of the past, this lineup was much larger.

Everyone's selection was a cause for celebration, but this time, Tang Tian's brothers weren't in the best mood.

Thompson goes without saying, with the new penalty standards, Curry's performance was poor, and his performance declined as a result, including losing in the Three-Point Contest.

At the party, he was drinking wine one gulp at a time.

Walker also looked a bit depressed. His child was born at the end of last year, and this depression was obviously not because of his family, but because of the court.

His performance this season was the peak of his career, but the Hornets were still struggling on the edge of the playoffs.

He had almost forgotten how many years he had experienced this kind of trouble in Charlotte.

He and Thompson kept clinking glasses, almost to the point of chugging bottles.

Irving wasn't as bad, but his mood was also average. Love's performance was struggling, and the Cavaliers' "Big Four" were almost becoming a "Big Three," and their competitiveness was declining.

When the "Big Four" came together, they suffered consecutive defeats to the Pelicans and Warriors at the beginning of the season. Now that they've become a "Big Three," the future is truly worrying.

Butler also looked a bit unhappy.

Logically speaking, with the new penalty standards, he was playing better and better, and the Mavericks' record was also very good, so he should be happy.

"Guys, leave all your worries behind and enjoy the night!"

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he gestured to Karl, and soon a team of sexy models walked in from outside the hatch.

Drowning sorrows with wine only adds to the sorrow, but relieving sorrow with women can release it.

Thompson's complexion was the first to improve, and Irving and Butler's moods also improved a lot. Irving directly found someone he liked and went to the dance floor to dance.

Only at Tang Tian's private parties could they let go.

Tang Tian saw Walker still sitting there, and as before, he didn't react much to the models.

He walked to his best brother's side and chatted with him.

"If you're really unhappy, then change places."

Tang Tian also knew what Walker was worried about. His family was already complete, so he was naturally focused on his career.

Jordan's player selection vision was too poor, and from the last time they played against each other, he could feel that Jordan didn't trust Walker.

Walker was stunned for a moment. He was a relatively loyal player, and he knew that Tang Tian was too. Tang Tian's suggestion was somewhat unexpected to him.

"All roads lead to Rome, and there are many places you can go in the East. The Bucks and Knicks are both good places."

Tang Tian continued.

A scholar dies for his confidant. Walker had already been good enough to the city of Charlotte. Not everyone can stay with one city forever.

If he's not happy, then he should change places, and it can also increase his popularity.

Walker's contract expires this summer, and he has this opportunity.

Walker didn't speak, but he was obviously thinking about this issue.

The Bucks have Giannis Antetokounmpo, but their backcourt is very poor. It would indeed be an opportunity for him to go there.

Moreover, his playing style is also more compatible with Antetokounmpo, like an upgraded version of Knight from back then.

The Knicks would have more exposure opportunities. The combination of Anthony and Howard has failed to break out of the West for several years in a row.

If he went there, the Knicks could really threaten the Cavaliers.

Of course, more importantly, he could also have the opportunity to face off against Irving again.

The two places Tang Tian mentioned were the most suitable for him. As a brother, he had obviously thought a lot for him.

Tang Tian saw that Walker was thinking, so he didn't continue to speak. After patting him on the shoulder, he got up and went to chat with Butler.

These brothers were all depressed, and this year he was going to act as a confidante little sister.

He didn't even know Butler's troubles. After a conversation, he learned that it was related to Carlisle.

Carlisle, like Popovich, is a very controlling player, and this is what led to problems in Butler's relationship with him.

Dirk Nowitzki is a very good player. After Butler came last season, he took the initiative to give up his low post position, allowing Butler to become the team's new core.

But after Conley came this season, Carlisle gave Conley most of the ball-handling responsibilities, and Butler could only play more of a role as an off-ball scorer.

But that's not what he's best at, especially as he's been in the NBA for a long time, and his skills have gradually become more comprehensive.

Tang Tian is his role model, and what he wants to do is to control the team and the game like Tang Tian.

In this league, apart from Tang Tian, there is no one who can make him willingly play a role other than the team's leading player.
