Chapter 35: Misunderstanding Cleared Up

There are many so-called popular people, Zhang Feng has risen rapidly in a short period of time, from beating Nick Young in 1V1, to the Knicks' trial performance, and then partnering with Kobe Pierce to open a store, which is simply the protagonist in the plot of the novel possessed. In the face of such people, the public will have many different opinions, some people will not believe it and think it is fake, some people will choose to ignore it because it has nothing to do with them, but more people will be jealous because they can't do it but others have done it. The so-called love for no reason, but there must be ruthlessness for no reason, Zhang Feng is now the target of public criticism, and any little mistake will be blamed, not to mention that he mocked an ESPN reporter at the Knicks tryout.

The columnist of the Los Angeles Times may be idle but more likely to be racist, and it is not very cool to see Zhang Feng as a Chinese so successful, and ESPN's criticism must be revenge criticism. The other party is menacing, both of them are influential big media, and the impact on individuals or organizations will be very great, but Zhang Feng believes in a truth: soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they are worthy of asking themselves, so why be afraid?

Zhang Feng, Kobe, and Pierce set off separately, Zhang Feng's car was the professional red carpet catwalk company found by Wang Wanlu to be in charge, and when he reached Beverly Hills, he began to slow down and slowly drove to his destination - Beverly Hills No. 28. There is a purpose for the car to drive slowly, and this purpose is the same as the original advertisement to open a store with Kobe and Pierce, to let people get familiar with it first, rather than driving quickly to the destination and not even giving people the opportunity to take pictures.

Kobe Bryant has already arrived first and is being interviewed by the media, Zhang Feng has seen such a big battle for the first time, several times more than the media he faced during the Knicks tryout last time, with long guns and short guns and various professional interview equipment. Zhang Feng has seen the list of invited media given by Wang Wanlu before, from various local media in Los Angeles, to world-famous media, such as the BBC, etc., to various small personal media with a large number of fans, there are many invitations.

Kobe Bryant didn't talk much, but just symbolically answered a few very official questions and entered the hall, Pierce didn't accept the interview at all, he went in a long time ago, and finally it was Zhang Feng's turn. The car slowly drove into the red carpet area, and after a hundred meters of the red carpet, Zhang Feng shook his body and got out of the car steadily.

As soon as I got out of the car, there was a large number of "click, click, click" A large number of photographing sounds came, the lights were a little dazzling, Wang Wanlu has seen more of this kind of scene, and has been following Zhang Feng considerately, in case Zhang Feng doesn't know what to do.

"Mr. Zhang Feng, may I ask how you have promoted your cooperation with Kobe Bryant and Pierce this time" A reporter handed the microphone to Zhang Feng's mouth, wishing that Zhang Feng would eat it.

"You ask me like this, I can only say that I have no comment" Zhang Feng deliberately made a joke to the reporter, this joke made the reporter stunned, no one has ever answered the question like this, is it to get the true biography of Old Man Popovich?

"Just kidding, I'll talk about it later, we'll see you inside" Zhang Feng walked in with a smile.

The hall itself is a small five-story villa, the largest on the ground floor, about 500 square meters, and is now arranged as a meeting room, which is divided into a podium area and a press area, where Bryant and Pierce have long been sitting.

The official press conference began very quickly, and Wang Wanlu, as Zhang Feng's public relations spokesperson, first delivered a speech, explaining the project content of Zhang Feng and Kobe Pearce's cooperation, expressing her joy at the cooperation of the three, and hoping that more friends would come to patronize Zhang Feng's business.

As the second speaker of the main investor, Kobe Bryant announced that he would invest $100 million, accounting for 20% of the original shares, and that he would do his best to help Zhang Feng's operation and wish Zhang Feng a perfect career in the NBA. As soon as Kobe Bryant finished speaking, a reporter asked:

"May I ask Mr. Kobe, this morning ESPN's Smith said that Mr. Zhang Feng is so high-profile that he will not achieve great results in the NBA, what do you think about this, as an NBA senior and partner?"

Kobe didn't expect someone to really ask this question, smiled and said: "This is pure nonsense, what is high-profile?" Opening a store is high-profile? Is the signing endorsement considered high-profile? Besides, is there any inevitable connection between opening a store and playing in the NBA? Are so many players in the NBA affected by the fact that they have opened stores? Let's talk about Zhang Feng's strength, I seriously say that Zhang Feng can be the NBA champion this year, I am here to formally suggest that the Lakers invite Zhang Feng for a tryout, the Knicks missed Zhang Feng, I don't want the Lakers to miss Zhang Feng in vain", Kobe Bryant stopped answering questions after speaking, and went back to his seat and sat down.

When it was Pierce's turn to speak, Pierce didn't say anything, just said that he saw that Zhang Feng's project to open a store was very good, and some of them must be earned, and then took the initiative to talk about Zhang Feng's strength, saying that Zhang Feng would be chosen between this year's top rich son and Zhang Feng.

Kobe, although Pierce is Zhang Feng's partner, there is no need to brag about Zhang Feng's basketball strength, if he doesn't perform well in the future, he will smash his own signboard, and judging from the Knicks trial video, Zhang Feng is indeed outstanding, and the reporters present are thinking: Does Zhang Feng really have the strength to win the championship?

Finally, Zhang Feng spoke, as the owner of the hall and the actual person in charge in the future, Zhang Feng talked about some future plans for the hall, and then took the initiative to raise the issue of the Los Angeles Times' accusations.

Zhang Feng didn't get angry, as if he was saying a small thing that was misunderstood, this is the best way to respond, "For the things mentioned by the Los Angeles Times, I want to say that it is my fault, I didn't mention that the main staff of the club are all friends I knew when I first arrived in the United States, so please ask them to come up." As soon as the words fell, Hawke took Harry and others to the stage, all Americans.

"Actually, I didn't have to do this, but since everyone has a misunderstanding, we should communicate more, more communication is the most effective way to solve the problem, and now I invite Steve to speak" Zhang Feng handed the microphone to Steve.

Steve was a little nervous in front of so many reporters for the first time, and Zhang Feng patted Steve on the shoulder encouragingly. Steve said in a slightly dry voice: "In the month I have known Zhang Feng, the first thing I have witnessed is his incomparable basketball talent, then witnessed his courage to be jealous and hateful, strong Chinese kung fu, and finally I and my brothers on the Blu-ray team witnessed his concern for his friends, that is, our entire Blu-ray team, he offered us a job, thank you very much, we will work hard, it is a great honor for me to be friends with Zhang Feng, I hope you can take this opportunity to eliminate the misunderstanding of Zhang Feng, Thank you. ”

After saying this, everyone present was a little moved, I didn't expect Zhang Feng to be a person who cares about his friends so much, such a person has such a high basketball talent, and I don't know why the Knicks didn't choose Zhang Feng.
