As a husband and the king's leading player, Zhang Feng has the responsibility to protect An Jiali and the king. However, he had to eat one bite at a time, and he had to do things one by one, and in the end, how to solve the problem, he couldn't come up with a proper solution for the time being.

Dealing with these big bosses who are hungry for profit can neither be too weak nor too tough, and the only thing that can be done at the moment is to show determination to the Sacramento fans first, and as long as the Kings and Sacramento are closely linked, half of the current problems can be solved.

So Zhang Feng informed the team staff that he was going to speak before the start of the game against the Grizzlies.

The game against the Grizzlies was the King's first game of the new year, and it was a fitting choice to thank fans for their support over the past year and to express their thoughts.

At 6 p.m. on the 1st, the Kings entered the arena to warm up, and it didn't take long for the Grizzlies to enter the arena, led by Marc Gasol.

Facing the former teammate who had fought side by side for eight years, Randolph hurriedly put down the ball and rushed up to hug Mark. Carter also followed, and for a while, the court was bustling with activity.

Seeing such a picture, Mason couldn't help but sigh: "We really have a lot of fate with the grizzly bear."

Zhang Feng knew that Mason was talking about Carter, Randolph and head coach David, all of whom had played for the Grizzlies. Randolph and Marc Gasol are known as the 'black and white' duo and are the core players of the Grizzlies. Carter has been with the Grizzlies for three years, and his average playing time and scoring per game are getting higher and higher year by year, and he is the main rotation of the Grizzlies. David is also a former Grizzlies coach, he started as an assistant coach, helped the Grizzlies improve their defense to the playoffs, and won the coach of the month twice after becoming the coach.

Although all three of them have contributed to the Grizzlies, none of the three of them left the Grizzlies in a way that is not very decent.

After Randolph became a free agent in the summer of 17, the Kings, Thunder, and Clippers all joined the fray, but the Grizzlies management turned a blind eye to the meritorious veteran, and the Kings easily signed Randolph for 12 million.

Carter was even worse, the Grizzlies were unwilling to give a veteran base salary, and David was fired directly by management.

However, it was the Grizzlies management who were brain-dead, and the friendship between Randolph and others was not affected in the slightest.

The picture full of friendship in front of him, compared with the desperate approach of NBA bosses for profit, can't help but make Zhang Feng sigh: "It's not easy for the NBA business to have such a solid game."

"Hey, as long as we don't play in the playoffs, it's all good," Justin chimed in.

"You think too much, we are first in the West, the Grizzlies are 14th in the West, and we will definitely not be able to meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs, at least not this season" Mason is very confident.

"I don't know if the Grizzlies management will regret seeing Randolph and Carter's performance this season, last month's best coach should also be Coach David's, and it is estimated that now the Grizzlies management has remorse" Justin "gloating".

"What's there to regret about this," Mason said halfway through pausing to look around, he craned his neck closer to the two, and continued in a low voice: "The Thunder management doesn't regret sending Harden away and forcing Durant to miss the dynasty, not to mention that our management has also done this?" Big brother, don't laugh at the second brother, it's all the same."

"You mean Cousins thing?" Cousins has played well this season, Zhang Feng casually guessed.

"No, I'm talking about Tyrek Evans" Mason smiled sheepishly at Zhang Feng "Speaking of him, I just saw the pre-match interview and he said he's back, he's still competing, and he'll prove himself tonight."

Evans is obviously saying this to Zhang Feng, he was selected by the Kings as the No. 4 pick in 09, and scored an astonishing 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in his rookie season, such a strong statistic is only a little weaker than LeBron, so he easily won the best rookie in the 09-10 season, and everyone thinks he is LeBron one size younger.

But then his stats plummeted because of the change to the No. 3 position, and then the Kings management traded him to the Pelicans to correct Cousins, fortunately he played well again after joining the Pelicans, but was seriously injured twice and failed to rise.

Comedy, last February, the Kings made another deal with the Pelicans to send Cousins to the Pelicans, and Evans returned to the Kings. After returning to the Kings, Evans failed to play well and joined the Grizzlies as a free agent after the season.

Originally, there was no place for him in the Grizzlies, but the sky is not as good as people, Conley's injury gave him another chance, the last five games, he averaged 27 points, 5.8 assists and 7.4 rebounds per game, three-point shooting percentage, free throw shooting percentage, and assist turnovers are all career highs, which can be described as smooth sailing.

If he can beat Zhang Feng in tonight's game, then Evans will definitely re-enter the public eye, and even if the Grizzlies don't have the salary space to sign him next season, there will definitely be a large number of teams coming to the door.

"Then I'll wait for him to prove himself," Zhang Feng was noncommittal.

With such a relaxed + indifferent attitude, Justin and Mason instantly understood that there must be a good show to watch.

At 7 o'clock, the king warmed up and returned to the locker room.

At 7:10 a.m., the home announcer began to introduce the players to the venue.

This time, Zhang Feng did not play early with the rest of his teammates, he stood in the players' tunnel, seriously waiting for the announcer to call his name for the last time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me welcome ...... with a round of applause"

Hearing his name, Zhang Feng jogged out, the lights of the home field directly focused on him, and he shook hands with the fans on both sides of the aisle all the way, and finally came to the center of the stadium.

"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Zhang Feng to speak", the announcer announced, and the lights of the whole stadium were dimmed, and only a beam of light fell from the center of the stadium and shone on Zhang Feng's body.

"Sacramento fans, how are you?" Zhang Feng greeted the opening of the stadium with a loud voice, and the surroundings of the Golden No. 1 Arena suddenly responded one after another, and the enthusiasm of the fans was instantly ignited.

"First of all, on behalf of the Kings, I would like to thank you for your support over the past year! It is your support that has brought the king to where he is today and what he has achieved today. Thank you, thank you."

"In China, there is a saying called Zhi En Tu Bao. To thank you, all we can do is win more regular season games, win more playoffs, win championships."

Every player in an interview will say that the team's goal for the season is to compete for the championship, but few players will publicly promise to make the playoffs and win the championship. LeBron said at the press conference of the Heat Big Three that he wanted to win more than one championship and was ridiculed so far, Zhang Feng did this, undoubtedly roasting the king and himself on the fire, although he is strong, but the king has not made the playoffs for 14 consecutive years.

But this is Zhang Feng, he just dares to promise. So far, he has not promised anything that he can't do after that, and when the fans heard him make such a public promise, the entire Golden One Arena was completely boiling.

Cheers, shouts, screams, crying, all kinds of voices converged, Zhang Feng stopped and let the fans vent, and only after a minute did he pick up the microphone again:

"Now, we've done part of it, we're number one in the West, and we're going to keep working on that."

"Of course, we still need your support in this process."

"Let's move forward together in the new year, against all odds, to bring an O'Brien Trophy to me, to us, to you, to the King, and to Sacramento"
