After O'Neal 'stopped', the TNT trio began to discuss the highlights of the game, which was a topic that was not too controversial, and the three were more unanimous.

First of all, this game is the most critical game in the regular season MVP competition, whether it is fans or media commentators, they will keep an eye on Zhang Feng and Harden, every time the two handle the ball on the court, and even say that the off-ball running position will be infinitely magnified.

The result of the game may directly determine whether Zhang Feng will win the MVP as a rookie, or Harden will get back the honor that belongs to him before the snow, and fans are looking forward to it.

Secondly, Zhang Feng and Chris Paul are facing each other again, which is also a topic of conversation among fans and media commentators, the first game of the King's regular season, Paul gave Zhang Feng a 'lesson', and Paul fans are angry about Paul's failure to be selected for the All-Star Race, and the confrontation between the two must be full of gunpowder.

Finally, and the biggest highlight of this game, the Kings Rockets are ranked first and second in the West, and the lineups of both teams have recently been upgraded, and the run-in situation is also very good.

Why do you want to make the playoffs early? Because after the two teams played, they each only had about 20 games left, and the same was true for the other teams, in other words, the regular season standings were stable.

It can be inferred that after 82 regular season games, the Western Conference ranking will definitely be the first king, the second and third Rockets/Warriors, the fourth, fifth and sixth Spurs/Thunder/Timberwolves, and the seventh and eighth Nuggets/Trail Blazers.

With such a ranking, the Kings are set to meet the Rockets or the Warriors in the second round, some time ago, the Kings have already defeated the full Warriors, and if they can beat the upgraded Rockets now, then fans and media commentators will have a very different opinion of the Kings.

Of course, if the Rockets defeat the King, the benefits are also indispensable.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and the Kings and Rockets entered the Toyota Center one after another, and the pre-game ceremony began.

Take a closer look, the Rockets fans at the Toyota Center took their seats early, changing the scene of filling up five minutes after the start of the game in the past, and it is worth mentioning that Rockets celebrities Yao Ming, Olajuwon, Mutombo and others also appeared on the sidelines.

More unexpectedly, the Rockets recalled Zhou Qi from the Development League in this game, although it is very likely that Zhou Qi will not have any playing time, but the appearance of 3 players from China on a court is very attractive to Chinese fans, and the game time of the two teams is exactly the Chinese New Year's Eve, saying that it is a New Year greeting for Chinese basketball fans.

In addition to the Rockets, Zhang Feng's fiancée An Jiali, partners Hollywood A-list actress Jennifer Lawrence, and director Spike Lee also appeared at the Toyota Center, instantly making the game between the Kings and the Rockets to a higher level.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for so many sports and entertainment celebrities to appear in a regular season game, and since this is the Toyota Center, and it is not an international metropolis like New York or Los Angeles, it must not be a coincidence that these people are here, they must have come here for some reason.

Some people are curious, and naturally some people will solve the mystery, and TNT TV immediately changed the live broadcast plan, canceled the on-site reporter interview, and instead let the three O'Neill connect on the spot.

The first subject of the interview was Yao Ming, and for no particular reason, O'Neill knew him best.

"Hey, Brother Yao Ming, why did you suddenly go to the Toyota Center to watch the game?"

"I'm here for Zhang Feng, and I have some work to communicate with him, and the time node has caught up."

"Wow, got it, is there anything about Chinese basketball? I know that you are now the chairman of Chinese basketball, and you are equivalent to Adam Xiao Hua in China, right? ”

"No, no, I'm just here to communicate with Zhang Feng about player registration......

After a minute of small talk, the camera pans to Olajuwon, who has a trademark smile and is interviewed by Kenny Smith.

"Hey, Hakim, seeing the current Rockets lineup, I think back to the days when we won the championship together, it's really nostalgic."

"Indeed, this year's Rockets are very strong, especially this time the bench roster upgrade, it can be said that it has been on par with the Golden State Warriors in all aspects......."

"So you're here today to refuel the rockets, right?"

"Well, yes, but I mainly came over to discuss the All-Star Game donation with Zhang Feng, there are some details that I don't know very well, and I need to discuss them with him in person."

"Uh......" Kenny was speechless for a moment, understanding that everyone understood, Olajuwon was here for Zhang Feng.

The interview didn't take too long, Kenny didn't have anything to say, and the on-site staff pointed the camera at Mutombo at the director's instructions, and this time it was Barkley's turn to interview.

"Uncle Barrel, you won't tell me that you also went to the scene for Zhang Feng, right?" Barkley directly asked the mystery in the audience's mind.

"Well, it's not, I only came when I heard that Yao Ming was coming, but I'm also the same as Olajuwon, I want to find Zhang Feng to learn about the donation, and I plan to donate a little more......"

The head is big, as soon as Mutombo's words came out, the TNT trio had a big head for a while, all for Zhang Feng's scene, no one really wanted to refuel the rocket?

But the TNT director felt that it was news that all the celebrities were going for Zhang Feng, and at his urging, the on-site staff walked to Jennifer Lawrence and others with cameras.

"Hey, Miss Jennifer, would you like to give us an interview?"

"Hello, Miss Jennifer"

"Hey, long time no see, Jennifer"

Facing the beauty, the three of O'Neill asked questions at the same time, which made Jennifer laugh, "Don't worry, you guys ask one by one!" ”。

"I'll come first!" O'Neill waved his hand and asked strongly: "Do you like Zhang Feng, why do you go to watch him play more times away than Anjialidu?" ”。

This is a clear way to do something, because Angarie is sitting next to Jennifer and can hear O'Neal's question 100%, but the effect of the show is definitely explosive, and both Kenny and Barkley silently give O'Neal a thumbs up.

However, after O'Neal finished speaking, neither Jennifer nor Anjiali had the slightest change in expression on their faces, and Jennifer even smiled a little disdainfully, as if to say: "A sports host, not yet a professional, gossip entertainment stars have amateur emotional problems, I have answered no less than a hundred such questions."

Just when the three O'Neill thought they could only get an 'official speech' answer, Jennifer's words almost made their jaws drop.

"Of course I like Zhang Feng, if it weren't for An Jiali to confirm the relationship with him first, I would definitely pursue him, at least he is much cooler than those guys who like to talk about things by age......."

The three O'Neill can hear that Jennifer seems to confess to Zhang Feng, but in fact, she took the opportunity to damage her ex-boyfriend, which is no different from the official statement.

"So you went to the Toyota Center to cheer for Zhang Feng?" Barkley didn't give up.

"Of course, by the way, I would like to talk to Zhang Feng about the filming of the film, he invested in a new film for me, called ......"

Jennifer was a bit 'excessive', and actually used TNT's live interview to advertise, and the director quickly asked the staff to focus the camera on Spike Lee.

"Dude, aren't you a Knicks diehard? How did you appear in the Toyota Center" Barkley was puzzled.

Fans who have been watching the game for a little longer will know that Spike-Lee is a big fan of the New York Knicks, and his appearance at the Toyota Center today is definitely a basketball adventure.

"I've always been a Knicks fan, but recently I've become a fan of Zhang Feng, and the two don't conflict, and not long ago I talked to Zhang Feng about a movie called "Snow in Milwaukee".

Unexpectedly, Spike-Lee also took TNT's live interview to advertise, and the director quickly cut off the camera, and Barkley returned embarrassedly and said: "Understood, understood, you are also a ...... for Zhang Feng."

Seeing that the director cut off the interview, O'Neill was a little unhappy, how could he just say that when Zhang Feng was fame, how could he say it?

"Hey, there's another Anjiali who didn't interview!"

"Why did Anjiali go to the Toyota Center, do you still need to ask?" Kenny and Barkley look at O'Neill with the eyes of an idiot.

"That's right, I'm confused......" O'Neill rubbed his head in embarrassment.

As everyone thinks, An Jiali went to the Toyota Center to accompany Zhang Feng, usually Zhang Feng has not been to the field for away games, but this game coincides with the Chinese Lunar New Year, and she must be proud of Zhang Feng's daughter-in-law to attend many occasions.

What about those occasions? In addition to the identity of the player, Zhang Feng is also the owner of Dongsheng Hall, and An Jiali will attend the Dongsheng dinner as the boss's wife. In addition, Zhang Feng will definitely visit Kobe Bryant and others as a partner, and An Jiali will naturally accompany him.

But the most important thing is that Zhang Feng is about to participate in the All-Star, and after the All-Star, there are 3 consecutive away games, plus the two away games of the King before, if you don't stay together in the past few days, the next half a month will be in a different state, and An Jiali doesn't want to be too long.

Unexpectedly, TNT's online interview made the attention of this game reach an unprecedented level, and many neutral fans who were originally famous and Hollywood stars did not know that TNT's interview immediately had a lot of fans watching the excitement.

According to the statistics of big data from authoritative institutions, basketball fans around the world are enthusiastic about the game, with 200 million fans watching the live broadcast through TV stations, online live broadcasts and other channels, plus text live broadcasts, Twitter, INS browsing and other channels, and more than 1.8 billion clicks have been played to participate in the discussion of the King VS Rockets topic.

Such a high level of attention, contrary to everyone's expectations, with 1.8 billion discussions before the game even started, is much crazier than last year's Finals, and even more terrifying than the attention of the Super Bowl halftime show, the No. 1 sporting event in the United States

Adam Xiao Hua couldn't sit still, this kind of opportunity to expand the influence of the NBA without spending money, he was ecstatic, he immediately ordered the league's marketing department and public relations department to come up with a plan to step up the transformation of the game's influence, and at the same time he also called the referee committee, asking the referee on duty to play a 12-point mental blow game.

TNT's interview made Adam Shaw happy, but it made Rockets owner Fertitta feel uncomfortable.

He thought that James Harden would be the absolute hot spot in the game between the two teams, even if Jennifer Lawrence and others cheered for Zhang Feng, he would have a tie with Harden at most, but when he knew that Yao Ming, Olajuwon, and Mutombo were all here for Zhang Feng, he suddenly turned blue and said nothing.

As the new boss, Fertitta even wondered if it was because he didn't have a good relationship with Olajuwon and others that led to the current situation.

"It's nothing, the game starts right away, and then basketball fans all over the world will know that there is the better team" Morey seemed to understand what Fertitta was worried about.

As a businessman, the first thing you want to think about is definitely making money, and if Fertitta wants to make money through the Rockets, she must first make the Rockets' games more interesting.

The championship is definitely the biggest attraction of a team, but the championship is not too stable for the Rockets.

On the other hand, it would be nice to see if the Rockets had MVP players on their roster.

But in this key game related to the ownership of MVP, all the popularity was sucked away by Zhang Feng, which was very unfavorable for Harden and Fertitta.

"No, I'm fine, the game is well attended, and we Rockets can get very good publicity" Fertitta forced a smile in the face of Morey's comfort.

Ten minutes later, the pre-match ceremony ended, and the scene sounded to prepare for the game, and the players of both teams walked to the field to take their positions.

"The Kings start, Zhang Feng and Rose in the backcourt, Randolph, Willy, and Justin in the frontcourt, this is their recent new set of lineups, and the results are not bad in terms of data," O'Neal began to introduce excitedly.

"The Rockets lineup is strong, point guard Paul, point guard Harden, small forward Ariza, big forward Tucker, center Capela, this lineup has both offense and defense, I really don't know how the Kings won" Barkley's face showed a taste of 'sympathy'.

"No matter how good the lineup is, it depends on the execution of the players......"

TNT's three-man bickering made the fans watching the live broadcast happy, and Morey also found it very interesting, and he quickly said to Fertitta: "Barkley and Kenny are both optimistic about the Rockets, and we also account for 65% of the fan winners' votes, and our strength has been unanimously recognized by experts and fans."

Morey said this, nothing more than to show Fertitta that his work is very good, fortunately, Fertitta is a person who understands, he smiled and said: "Good job, the Rockets have the current lineup, you should take the first credit."

"It should be, it should be......" Morey said modestly, smiling and constantly introducing Fertitta to how hung the Rockets lineup really is.

But as they spoke, the two of them felt that something was wrong with the situation at the same time. In the opening 2 minutes, the Rockets didn't score a single goal, but the King relied on Zhang Feng to play a wave of 9:0 with three consecutive 3-point points.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Morey immediately stopped bragging, but as soon as his words fell, Zhang Feng sent another assist, and Rose received the ball and hit an empty 3-pointer.

With a wave of 12:0, the Kings were relaxed as if they were playing a training game, and the Rockets were sleepwalking like the whole team, and Fertitta's face gradually lost its smile.
