Now Zhang Feng finally understands why his teammates suddenly became strange, and they didn't rest on a good holiday, and came to practice with him, because he was afraid that his identity as the king of the house would not be true.

Although he was very moved when he first thought of this, and was moved that his teammates cared so much about him, Zhang Feng immediately realized that his teammates' fear that losing to the Pelicans would damage his reputation was even more terrible than the media's lack of recognition of his ability.

When you encounter something that excites you, you must first calm down and think carefully, this is the truth that the master used to talk about, Zhang Feng began to figure out the clues of the whole thing after a burst of excitement.

Why doesn't the media recognize his abilities, and why are his teammates so worried?

Zhang Feng asked himself to break the record with 43 points in the first game, which can be said to be a big feat, but if you think about it carefully, except for a few Twitter praises from familiar stars in the league, this matter did not cause much repercussions, of course, this may be because of the big score loss of the game, the big score loss makes the record seem tasteless and a pity to abandon.

However, in the subsequent three-game road trip, Zhang Feng scored three double-doubles in a row and led the team to victory, which is an incredible thing for a rookie player, but it may also have erased this credit against the fish belly team, and he is in the Kings, compared to the Lakers' Lonzo Ball who threw the first three-pointer of his career and was widely reported by the media, his exposure is too little.

Another reason for guessing is that he is Chinese, and he is in the same situation as Jeremy Lin, where the excellent highlight moments are not reported, but the mistakes are exaggerated very seriously.

The reason for the media's disapproval Zhang Feng felt that it was nothing after thinking about it clearly, but the attitude of his teammates still made him unpredictable.

It's not a good choice to ask directly, but it's the best policy

"Why are you worried about me? You're all Kings players, and if you lose a game, you're going to be questioned."

I thought that this would make my teammates answer "No, no, no, you are the player", but Justin said:

"We won't marry the boss's daughter, if we lose, we will lose, if you lose, your face will be disgraced."

Zhang Feng didn't answer immediately, and Justin continued to say when he saw this:

"Cousins was ordered to trade by the owner, and Kings fans are very nostalgic for Cousins, and some people have prepared billboards to welcome him home, do you understand?"

Justin said that Zhang Feng suddenly understood that his status among Kings fans still did not surpass Cousins, of course, thinking that Cousins had been in Sacramento for 7 years, and he had only played 4 games, Zhang Feng also felt that it was nothing.

Preparing the billboard is also a private matter, there is no interference, now all I have to do is to beat some strong teams, get results, as long as I make the playoffs, the 'Kings fans' will not continue to miss Cousins."

But the top priority is to defeat the Pelicans first, the Pelicans who have 'thick eyebrows' Anthony Davis and the former Kings player Cousins.

Needless to say, Cousins' ability is that Anthony Davis has also cut a crazy 40+20 stat many times, and the two also happen to be the weakest interior of the Kings, and Randolph and Willy will be under huge defensive pressure.

There is no doubt that it will be a tough battle, and my teammates are worried that they will lose, so they come to practice with themselves.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although the victory is not big, but Zhang Feng has his own plans in his heart.

"It's a small meaning, as long as we play normally, they are not opponents".

Everyone else was already familiar with Zhang Feng's self-confidence, but this time none of them had a relaxed expression on their faces.

---

At the Golden No. 1 Arena, the game between the Pelicans and the Kings is about to begin, and the audience is queuing up to enter, and Zhang Feng, who has warmed up, is interviewed by reporters as usual.

Although the game was not broadcast nationally, the media paid special attention, and both TNT and ESPN sent more experienced frontline reporters who seemed to smell the big news.

Heather Cox, who interviewed Lonzo Ball and others on behalf of ESPN, who is more optimistic about the Lakers, did not know what the purpose was this time, but she actually took the initiative to interview Zhang Feng.

"Do you have confidence in tonight's game?" Cox handed the microphone a little playfully, his eyes mocking.

Originally, Zhang Feng had a bad impression of ESPN, and this reporter's expression made him even more unhappy.

"No" Zhang Feng did not play according to the routine at all.

Cox was obviously stunned by this answer, and she didn't know how to continue the interview for a while, how could a star say that she didn't have confidence in the game? She asked this question just to lead to the question 'What kind of preparation do you have?'

After hesitating, Cox said embarrassedly: "Then how are you going to play this game?"

"Hit as planned"

"And what's your plan?"

"Adapt on the field"

After 3 rounds of dialogue, Cox was overwhelmed by Zhang Feng, and said a thank you for accepting the interview depressedly, and then walked away stupidly.

As soon as Cox left, Maggio ran up, and when she saw Cox deflated, she couldn't hide her joy, and asked with a smile:

"Zhang Feng, are you confident against the Pelicans tonight?"

Acquaintances met, Zhang Feng was also very happy, "Of course I am confident, we have practiced our tactics in the past three days, and watched a lot of Pelican game videos, I believe that we will win this game."

"Wow, there are a lot of kings and celebrities who are here today, will this put pressure on you?".

Maggio said that the king's famous name is Divac, Weber, and Peja who led the Lakers to the Western Conference finals in the 01 and 02 seasons, and these three Divac and Peja became the king's management, but they were not very optimistic about Zhang Feng at first, and they only planned to use the 15th pick to select Zhang Feng in the draft, but then Zhang Feng's performance left them speechless.

As for Webber, he has always been optimistic about Zhang Feng, and he argued with O'Neill and others about Zhang Feng's potential on draft night.

It's a bit weird that the three of them suddenly came to watch the game today, and they didn't show up in the first game of the season. Webb, in particular, actually traveled all the way to Sacramento to watch the game, and if he had to forcibly associate anything, it was that Cousins was back, and Webb once called Cousins the best interior in his mind.

Instead of answering questions immediately, Zhang Feng thought carefully about how to organize the language, and he looked up at the sky, where a fan was photographed holding a sign on the big screen in the middle of the stadium.

I saw the sign read: "Boogie, thank you, love you, miss you".

This brand made Zhang Feng a little unhappy, but he looked around and found that there were many more such brands.

This Cousins hasn't entered the stadium yet, so it's so grand, and when he pauses for a while, he will play a tribute video, if he loses, how will he mix in Sacramento in the future?

He was about to be angry, but then he thought: these fans like Cousins does not mean that they don't like themselves, this is human nature, after all, he has not achieved results, he wants Irving to join Cleveland, LeBron will go back, and the Cavaliers fans will welcome LeBron, and even rush into the court with the words "LeBron 2014 COME BACK" tattooed on his body.

The fans were immersed in the past, Zhang Feng decided to break this emotion, he had already organized the language, and he said solemnly:

"I was completely free of pressure and was greatly encouraged."

Maggio knew that Zhang Feng still had something to say, and nodded for him to continue.

"However, I want to say that whether it was the peak of the Western Conference finals in the 01-02 season, or the last playoff game of the Artaiste period, or the light of the rebuilding under Tyrek Evans and Demaku Cousins, these are gone, and the current king, I and my teammates are carrying forward, and we will reach higher places."

"Finally, I would like to borrow a lyric to tell you how I feel now"

“No the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
