At 6 p.m. on the 7th, the whole team of Kings officially entered the Quick Loan Center to warm up. This was Zhang's first public appearance since his abduction, and reporters from ESPN, TNT, FOX and other news outlets flocked to interview him.

"It's the first time that so many reporters aren't here for me, it's funny," James put down his basketball and smiled.

Wade followed James's gaze, pouted and said, "Maybe he will dominate the league in the future, and we are all old."

"At least it's still our time, do you want to try to prevent him later?" James breathed a slightly excited tone.

Wade threw the ball to the rebound, "Forget it, my old arms and legs can't keep up with him, and I can still fight in 5 years."

"You've seen his video highlights, too?" James was a little surprised.

"Of course, I pay attention to him every time he plays a highlight, his fundamentals are too solid, his physical fitness is explosive, I haven't seen a point guard like him since I entered the league," Wade shook his head and sighed.

"Waiting for the meeting to start, there is too much pressure on the backcourt defense, this time we have to play joint defense and more packs. His interview is over, I'll go over and talk to him, are you coming? James asked.

"He should have taken the initiative to find you, right?" Wade was surprised, with James's status, there was no need to go over first.

"Now in a special period, everyone who comes is a guest"

---

As soon as Zhang Feng sent the reporter away, he saw James waving at him from a distance, and he hurriedly walked to the court.

As soon as the two shook hands, James hammered Zhang Feng on the shoulder, "How is it?" Can you still make a layup later? ”。

"A hundred is no problem, don't guard against it if you don't believe it" Zhang Feng exaggeratedly spread his hands.

"Then I'll keep an eye on you this time, be careful!" James shook his index finger.

"You've been playing well recently, 12 consecutive wins", the Cavaliers have struggled a little at the beginning of the season, and once had a record of 3 consecutive defeats, Zhang Feng praised James.

"If you don't do a good job, the overall record is not as good as yours, and if you meet in the finals, you will lose your home advantage."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding staff raised their eyebrows, but James dared to say it, Zhang Feng also dared to take it, he smiled and said: "It's okay, you are not a star who will be restricted by the away game, home and away are the same for you."

"Very good, then let's meet in the finals!"

"Meet in the finals", Zhang Feng stretched out his right hand and high-fived James and bumped fists.

James returned to the basket, and Wade smiled and asked, "What are you talking about, I see you guys are happy."

"I really wanted to make it to the Finals in my rookie season, this guy is more ambitious than I was when I was younger, and we need to defend him tonight," James said seriously.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game between the King and the Cavaliers officially began, and the trio of TNT live broadcast room also sat in front of the commentary table to begin the commentary.

O'Neal was the first to speak: "It's been a long time since the Kings game has been broadcast, I really want to die."

"It's a pity, they're playing knights tonight, I'm afraid you're going to be sad," Barkley gloated a little.

"You don't have to lose", Kenny swiped the desktop touchscreen, "You see the Cavaliers' backcourt starters, Calderonga JR-Smith, the two of them are just sending Zhang Feng to score".

"Exactly!" O'Neal raised his hand and high-fived Kenny, "The Cavaliers have lost to teams that don't look strong many times this season, and the Kings are second in the West."

"The loss to the weak team is not a problem with the Cavaliers, they did not succeed in the run-in this season, and now they have won 12 consecutive games and have re-established themselves as a Finals-caliber team," Barkley knocked on the table to analyze.

But O'Neal is not a reasonable person, he directly changed the topic: "Let's take a look at the statistics of the two teams, the Cavaliers are the fourth in the league in points per game, ......."

Kenny didn't want to listen to O'Neal's nonsense, so he hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt: "Let's talk about things off the court, speaking of which, Zhang Feng and James have very similar rookie experiences, both of them were given big contracts without playing NIKE in one game, and they both ......exploded in various statistics in their rookie seasons."

"I don't agree with you, Zhang Feng's rookie season is much better than LeBron's, 3 all-time records, friends, 3 all-time records, how many rookies can break the all-time record in their first year" O'Neal also interrupted Kenny.

"Yes, Lonzo Ball is the youngest triple-double winner in history, you agree...... Convincing or not? Barkley tried hard not to laugh.

"......," O'Neill was momentarily speechless.

"Haha, but Shaq said this, thinking about it carefully, Zhang Feng is indeed the best rookie in the last ten years, the king chose him like a god, and none of the top 4 teams actually fancied Zhang Feng" Kenny thought incredible.

"The young Kings, the young Zhang Feng, I don't know when I can become the king of the dominant side" O'Neal's tone was full of anticipation.

"Coincidentally, LeBron was called King James after winning the championship, and Zhang Feng is the core player of the Kings team, who is the real king of these two?" Barkley grinned.

"You'll know after watching this game," O'Neal stared at the big screen in the live broadcast room.

On the court, the king won the first offensive possession, and Zhang Feng advanced with the ball and stopped at the top of the arc. Calderon probably knew he couldn't guard himself and beckoned directly to JR-Smith to ask for Zhang Feng to be clamped.

In the face of the menacing two, Zhang Feng retreated and dribbled to the unguarded Bogdan on the left wing, Jay Crowder gave up Randolph and slid from the left short corner, Bogdan chose to give the ball to Randolph.

The price of the bag is to leak people, and the knight will make up for it in a circle, and finally rely on Lefu to defend the last level. ColaFo was not good defensively, and Randolph was a low-post old fritter, so the King relied on Randolph's small hook to score 2 points.

The Cavaliers attacked, Calderon had seen Zhang Feng's strong steal skills, he had no intention of dribbling in front of Zhang Feng at all, and after half time, he handed over the ball to James.

In this game, Kings head coach David did not choose to let Carter start, first, Carter couldn't prevent James, and second, Carter had to put it on the second team to stabilize the morale of the army on the court, so it was Justin who was defending James at this time.

Of course, Justin couldn't prevent it, he was run over by James like a bulldozer, and Willy couldn't stop James, who had already taken three steps, and the Kings lost 2 points in less than five seconds.

The two teams took turns to play one by one, the Cavaliers backcourt packed, Zhang Feng split the ball to play the Cavaliers leaked, JR and Calderon tried back and forth a few times before giving up the bag, Zhang Feng began all kinds of unreasonable breakthroughs, dry pulling. LeBron, on the other hand, was like an invincible man, ravaging the Kings' front line at will, and he either ate alone, or shared the ball with Love and Crowder, and Justin almost got the second foul on his back.

The two teams battled until the first official timeout, and the score was 18:12, with the Kings leading.

"Next, we have to start to focus on defending LeBron, cutting off the connection between him and Lefu and Crowder, scoring is okay, but we can't let him easily pass the ball to activate the whole team, I'll help defend James later", Zhang Feng proposed directly to David off the court.

"James should have taken the initiative to help defend you, right?" David was surprised that the score was now leading by the King.
