Chapter 271: The Road to Domination - No. 1 in the Pacific Division

Since officially entering the NBA, Zhang Feng has led the Kings to play against the Lakers in 4 games: in a summer league points game, Zhang Feng deliberately did not play, resulting in a final loss to the Lakers; In a summer league final, Zhang Feng single-handedly blew up the Lakers' backcourt, bloodied the Lakers by 15 points, and won the summer league MVP; In a preseason game, the Lakers led by a large score into the fourth quarter but were overturned by Zhang Feng's return; In addition, in this regular season game, the King exaggerated the Lakers by 59 points, setting a new record for the largest point margin in the regular season since 2000.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Feng crushes the Lakers players who are opposite him in every game, regardless of whether the opponent is Pope or Ball.

At the end of the game, the ball dad trotted and left the arena as if fleeing for his life, and the Lakers players turned around and left when they saw Wharton smashing the board, and directly gave up shaking hands after the game.

"I didn't expect that Daddy Ball is also a person who knows how to lose face!" Kings reporter James Ham was the first to update the Twitter taunt.

In addition to lamenting the king's 'cruelty', fans also praised Zhang Feng's 38 points and 8 rebounds.

After beating the Lakers at home, the Kings finally got a three-day break in a tense schedule, David 'generously' gave the players two days off, and Zhang Feng used this time to fly to Los Angeles to meet with Kobe Bryant and Pierce to discuss the expansion of the branch.

Kobe Bryant punched Zhang Feng as soon as they met, warning him not to do garbage time and abuse vegetables next time, even if he wants to abuse, it can't be the Lakers, Pierce immediately laughed and said that Zhang Feng will never have the opportunity to abuse Green Kai.

Pierce fought over this, and Zhang Feng was also speechless, but Zhang Feng told Pierce that he hoped that Pierce would tell his colleagues in EPSN and ask them not to target themselves in the future, otherwise it would become more and more ugly.

The three of them didn't talk about business for a long time, and the meeting was almost over before they decided on a plan to expand the store - making full use of Beverly Hills' high-cost advantages to continue to open a branch in the villa, this time Kobe Bryant was in charge of personnel recruitment, and Pierce was responsible for contacting retired NBA veterans and asking them to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony when the new store opened.

After the discussion, Zhang Feng went to the Dongsheng Hall and announced in public that Feng Yaoyao would become the manager of the second branch that was about to open, and at the same time raised the wages of Harry, Steve and others by 20%.

After everyone celebrated, Zhang Feng flew back to Sacramento non-stop, even if his physical fitness was strong enough to explode, he was a little tired of such a continuous rotation, but fortunately, Anjiali gave him a massage to eliminate fatigue.

However, Zhang Feng's fatigue also has consolation, in the weekly selection, it is said that Harden led the Rockets to win this week, and he deserved this honor, but Zhang Feng's bloody abuse of the Lakers this week left too much impression, and finally he defeated Harden by a narrow margin and won the Player of the Week for the second time this season.

On the 23rd, the Kings finished repairing and faced another team in Los Angeles at home, the Clippers.

The Clippers have been unlucky lately, 3 of their 5 starters have been injured, and without Beverley's blocking, Zhang Feng easily blew up the Clippers backcourt, plus Griffin's recent poor performance, the Kings who should have been blown up played well inside, and the Kings were out of the lead throughout the first half.

After the start of the second half, Rivers made adjustments, and the Clippers mainly handed over the ball to Lu Williams, while Rivers Jr. kept pestering Zhang Feng, and the Clippers played a wave of 12-0 to overtake the score.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the king sent Zhang Feng and Hill to speed up the lineup of double point guards, repeatedly impacting the Clippers' interior line, even though Jordan Jr. was strong in defense, but still failed to block Zhang Feng's onslaught, and the king took the opportunity to regain the lead.

The two teams were deadlocked until the last moment, the Clippers attacked Griffin and missed the three-point line, Willy grabbed the rebound, the Clippers did not dare to foul, Zhang Feng received the ball and made a layup to face Jordan Jr. to score 2+1 and win the Clippers by 2 points.

After the victory over the Clippers, the Kings have the same record as the Rockets at 15-4, but because of the loss to the Rockets in the first game of the season, the Kings can only rank second in the West, but this result is two more wins than the Warriors, such an impressive record makes Zhang Feng only behind Harden in the latest MVP prediction rankings, ranking second.

After three consecutive home games, the Kings traveled to Oakland to challenge the Warriors on the road. In the last preseason game of the season, the Kings challenged the Warriors on the road, and Zhang Feng hit 13 three-pointers in that game, but because it was a preseason, this record was not officially recorded.

Just when the fans were eagerly looking forward to Zhang Feng once again fighting Curry against Biao, the Warriors announced that Curry, Durant, and the two generals were suspended.

Although the Warriors lack major generals, they still show an extremely strong defensive level, with the cooperation of Green, David West, and Pachuria, the Kings are completely unable to attack on their own, and can only rely on Zhang Feng to feed the ball and pick up leaks.

Due to the heavy responsibility of defense, Green was unable to score for the Warriors inside, and Kerr took advantage of the situation to offer the Warriors' most common tactics - Green blocked high and others ran without the ball.

It's a pity that this time there was no Curry and Durant who received Green's pass, and Thompson was unable to support it alone, and he was completely limited by Zhang Feng, who was in 120% defensive state, and shot 4 of 15 in the third quarter.

In the last quarter, Zhang Feng let go of the offense and played three points with Thompson, but fortunately, Thompson's shooting rate failed to adjust, and the game was deadlocked until the last 30 seconds, when the Warriors missed the offense and fell behind the Kings with a score of 106:108.

The comedy is that the King's last offense, with Iguodala, Nick Young, and Thompson full of support, Zhang Feng shared Bogdan, Bogdan held the ball at the three-point line, and Green hit the basket and threw it, and the King defeated the Warriors 110-106.

So far, the Kings have won the Suns, Lakers, Clippers, and Warriors, consolidating the second place in the West, and continuing to rank first in the Pacific Division, successfully replacing the Warriors' position as the leader of the region.

After Oakland's pizza, the Kings rushed back to Sacramento to host the Bucks at home. This kind of back-to-back games are physically exhausting for the players, and against the Bucks, except for Zhang Feng, the other Kings players are not in shape, and finally the Kings are abused by the Bucks at home, losing the game 87-112.

Throughout November, the Kings were 11-4, losing to the Celtics, Pistons, Trail Blazers, and Bucks, as well as winning against strong teams such as the Thunder, 76ers, Warriors, and Wizards.

At the same time, Zhang Feng's statistics are outstanding, he averages 33 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, ranking first in the league in scoring assists and steals, which makes him slightly more advantageous than Harden (31.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.7 steals) in the monthly best selection, but the Rockets only lost 1 game in November, and the competition between the two for the best of the month is very fierce.

However, Zhang Feng's agent Rich Paul and NIKE played a strategic role, they vigorously promoted Zhang Feng's rookie status, three historical records, and donations to the Texas disaster area, which were three things to canvass for Zhang Feng, and at the same time, Kobe, Pierce, Russell, Hamilton and other NBA celebrities also cheered for Zhang Feng on Twitter and INS, and the selection of the best of the month was even more anxious for a while.

In the end, Zhang Feng defeated Harden by a narrow margin of 1 vote and won the best player in the West in November. The Western Conference of the Month award was won by LeBron James, who tweeted:

"I am very happy to win the Player of the Month with my little brother Zhang Feng, and I congratulate you on your excellent record of first place in the Pacific Division and second place in the West, and I wish you all the best in your NBA career."
