Chapter 375: Zhang Feng and LeBron's Big Plan

If it is according to the past habits, Zhang Feng will not respond to the comments of fans on social networks, and this transaction has angered many fans, and it is not good to say anything when the public grievances are difficult to settle.

But this transaction is special, because some fans pointed out that LeBron has always regarded Zhang Feng as his successor, and he once met in the finals, but now Zhang Feng instigated the king to poach the knights, which is almost a grudge to repay virtue, and for a time Zhang Feng was described as an ungrateful guy.

So Zhang Feng plans to respond publicly, but before responding, he has to talk to LeBron on the phone.

"Congratulations on getting Love, he's a very good player and hopefully you can show his potential against the Warriors in the playoffs."

As soon as he dialed the phone, LeBron warmly congratulated Zhang Feng, which made Zhang Feng a little embarrassed.

"The Cavaliers are about to rebuild, do you have any plans for the summer?" Zhang Feng started a different topic.

"When the time comes, it depends on the situation, you didn't call me for a transaction, right?" LeBron was witty and instantly guessed Zhang Feng's true intentions.

"Our original plan can be announced, and the time will be up soon"

At the end of last year, after the Cavaliers' away game against the Kings, Zhang Feng and LeBron had dinner together, and then the two issued a statement that they would announce a plan at the end of January.

When the news first came out, fans speculated that the two were going to work together on a basketball project, because at that time, LeBron claimed that Zhang Feng could lead the basketball industry to the next level and eventually be on an equal footing with the world's largest sport – football.

"No problem at all, things turned out as we expected, you were elected as one of the captains of this year's All-Star votes, plus I am also the captain, it is only fitting to announce the plan in this capacity, but ......"

LeBron's tone hesitated, and Zhang Feng hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”。

"Wei Shao has not yet agreed to join the 'Death Twelve' team you proposed, how are you going to deal with this?"

Under LeBron's reminder, Zhang Feng recalled that when he first learned that he was the All-Star vote king, he publicly discussed with LeBron and planned to form the 'Death Twelve' against the 'Death Twelve', LeBron agreed, but because of his public recruitment of Paul George, Wei Shao decisively refused to join his team, and the matter has not yet been resolved.

Before the 4th, the league needs to get the final roster, or the plan to catch up with the All-Star Game jersey will be delayed. After thinking for a while, Zhang Feng reluctantly made a decision: "Then report according to the other plan we chose before, and Wei Shao will join your team and don't engage in gimmicks."

"That's no problem, there's still a bunch of calls waiting for me to reply, we'll talk later"

LeBron doesn't say that Zhang Feng also understands, Lefu was traded, and the reporters first planned to interview Lefu and Zhang Feng. Because before the transaction, although the strength of the knight is not enough, but after all, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and there is still a glimmer of hope for the championship, after the transaction, I dare not say that the knight has no hope of winning the championship at all, but the highest is only 0.01%.

In this case, the reporters must have wanted to know what exactly LeBron thinks, and his phone must have been blown up. However, even when the phone was blown up, he gave priority to answering Zhang Feng's call, which shows the importance he attaches to Zhang Feng.

"Okay, I'll tweet it right away, you retweet, announce the plan first"

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Feng began to edit the text content: "I announced that at this year's All-Star Game, I will join forces with LeBron, if Zhang Feng wins, LeBron will provide $3.5 million and donate in the name of Zhang Feng, and I will provide a donation of $1.5 million and donate in the name of LeBron, and vice versa." The donations made by the two of us will be mainly used for the construction of basketball facilities in underdeveloped areas of Africa and Asia, and this year is the first year, starting from this year, we will donate to the All-Star every year after that, and we hope that more people will join us."

The tweet was sent out, and LeBron immediately retweeted it, promoting the two players with the most followers on Twitter in the NBA, and the All-Star donation plan was spread by the sky.

There are three reasons why donation plans are spreading so quickly.

First of all, at this time, fans around the world are hotly discussing the trade between the Kings and the Cavaliers, and Zhang Feng and LeBron have received extra attention for every tweet during this period, and they have just tweeted, with more than 100,000 readers, and 100,000 fans and media people retweet them, and the speed and volume of communication have increased exponentially.

Secondly, the two-man donation plan has taken out enough money, a total of $5 million, which is a full ten times more than the amount provided by the league, although 5 million is not too much for the two, but there is also 5 million in all, and the construction of basketball infrastructure in Africa and Asia will certainly help a lot.

Finally, Zhang Feng advertised that this year is the first year of the donation program, and it will continue to be implemented every year in the future, if the help that can be provided in one year is too small, then 10 years is definitely very considerable.

Of course, the addition of other stars to the donation program is also the icing on the cake. The first to respond to Zhang's call was Rocket legend Olajuwon, who is originally from Africa, and when he heard that Zhang Feng and LeBron planned to contribute to the development of African basketball, he excitedly offered to donate $100,000.

As soon as Olajuwon responded, Mutombo joined in, also offering a $100,000 donation.

After the celebrity set an example, Embiid, who was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time this year, also announced that he would join Zhang Feng and LeBron's donation program, and he provided a donation of $1 million.

$1 million is not too much for Embiid, because he just signed a five-year, $148 million contract with the 76ers, and although the conditions are a little harsh, he has already been selected as an All-Star and looks very promising.

After the African trio joined, Jeremy Lin announced the addition of the fourth, tweeting that as an Asian American, he would very much like to see the popular game of basketball in the United States develop well in the Asian region.

After Jeremy Lin, Yao Ming also announced his participation in the donation program, saying that as one of the pioneers of NBA players in Asia, he has an obligation to contribute to the development of Asian basketball.

Three hours after Zhang Feng released the news of the donation plan, the total number of NBA celebrities, active players, media people, and even team owners who joined the donation plan reached 24, and the total donation reached $10 million.

With the donation plan spreading rapidly, the number of people talking about the King's and Knights' trade quickly decreased, and although it was not intentional, Zhang Feng also saved a trouble, and the next thing to do was to meet with Love and Rose.
