The goal of the Kings' three-game road trip this time was originally 2-1, and 1-loss is the indicator for the Nuggets, because they were the ninth in the West last season, but they unexpectedly won the Nuggets, and the whole Kings team was very happy. Fastest updates

Although they will continue to play against the Suns on the road, the Suns have been notoriously weak in the past two seasons. The Suns' paper-like defense has given them the highest average points per game in the league, and what is even more terrifying is that their offensive efficiency is also the second-lowest in the league, which gives confidence to the Kings, who have just won two in a row.

As soon as the team's plane landed in Phoenix, an explosive news came out.

After the Suns lost to the Clippers 88-130, their head coach Earl Watson was fired by management, becoming the fastest coach to be fired since the start of the season.

A team plays badly, it is definitely not the fault of one person, the coach will definitely not ask for a stump defense, and it is impossible not to explain the tactical coordination, but the Suns have Booker who is represented by the players who can't defend and can't score, and finally Watson takes the blame.

Coupled with the team's main point guard Bradesso taking the initiative to ask for a trade, the Suns' situation was like a cabin in a hurricane for a while, and it was simply vulnerable.

In the ensuing match between the two teams, Bledsoe did not play, and Mike James started in his place.

Without Bledsoe, Mike James couldn't prevent it, and Zhang Feng, who lost his opponent, directly blew up the Suns backcourt, and at the same time broke through the interior kill many times, creating a lot of opportunities for Willy and Justin.

Although Devin Booker hit three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to hit a wave of small **, Zhang Feng then returned a few anser balls and successfully suppressed the Suns' counterattack momentum.

In the end, the Kings won the game with 7 doubles, and Zhang Feng once again won 25+12 doubles.

The three-game win has caused many media outlets to start discussing the changes in the Kings, and most of them are talking about Zhang Feng's radical change in the King's style of play, allowing the Kings to change from blind play to tactical cooperation, which is an important sign of the team's move towards the playoffs.

Of course, there are also some media who believe that in addition to the Nuggets, the Kings have won all the teams with fish belly, and don't forget that they lost to the Rockets in the first game of the season, and Zhang Feng's role is not as big as imagined.

The comments seemed to alert some reporters and commentators that Zhang narrowly lost to Harden in the first week of the Western Conference Player of the Year selection.

The Kings and Rockets had the same record in the first week, and Zhang Feng should have been elected from the perspective of encouraging newcomers, but it was because of the big loss to the Rockets in the first game that people chose Harden in the comparison between the two.

Although it was only the best in the West in the first week, Zhang Feng recognized that the mainstream media still did not recognize his ability, even though his teammates were much worse than Harden's teammates, and Paul's absence from the court gave the mainstream media the illusion that Harden looked like a lone hero, and the lone hero happens to be the media's favorite genre.

After playing the Suns, the Kings finally got three days off, which gave them plenty of time to prepare for the home game against the Pelicans.

Although he didn't have to train, Zhang Feng went to the stadium to continue training after a day of rest, but he didn't expect that as soon as he tweeted that he was training, Justin and others forwarded comments that they would also go to the stadium to practice, and then his tweet was retweeted by his teammates many times, and finally the whole team said that they wanted to go to the stadium to accompany him.

Waiting for his teammates to arrive one after another, Zhang Feng stopped the ball under the basket and began to greet them one by one.

"I said, why are you all here? Hey, aren't you going on vacation for 2 days? Zhang Feng was curious, because Willy didn't go back to Sacramento with the team at first, but now he showed up at the arena.

"Hehe, the team has been in good shape lately, everyone is working so hard, and I want to contribute more to the team's victory, so I canceled the vacation," Willy said with a little embarrassment, but he soon laughed.

This small difference made Zhang Feng feel a little abnormal, but he couldn't ask, just nodded silently.

"Feng, I've been practicing that kung fu you gave me recently, and I feel a lot better spirits" Randolph walked over with two dumbbells.

"Come on, keep practicing, I have also prepared follow-up kung fu for you" Zhang Feng was very happy that Randolph practiced the dantian pile seriously.

Hearing the discussion between the two, Justin hurriedly asked, "Really?" I don't think it's working."

Randolph glanced at him, and said with a little unhappiness: "You are originally a young man, Zhang Feng's kung fu is for us veterans, you don't want to be cheap and sell well."

Justin was about to explain, but Randolph sighed again and said, "If I'm really old, if I were ten years younger, it would definitely be the end of today's league."

"You're pretty good now, and if you practice Zhang Feng's kung fu a few more times, you'll only be more violent," Willy said with a grin.

Willy's words made Zhang Feng stunned again, Willy is so strange today, first canceled the vacation, and now he starts to pat on the back again, and he shoots two people with one shot, which is completely different from the Willy he knows.

In addition to Zhang Feng, Randolph and Justin also noticed Willy's abnormality.

"What's wrong with you? Afraid that I won't pass you in the future? Randolph asked jokingly.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional question directly made Willy blush, and Zhang Feng was surprised: "I'm Cao, aren't you really afraid that we won't pass the ball to you?" ”

In these games, Zhang Feng tried his best to cooperate with the inside, unless Willy and Randolph really have no room to play, in the three-game game, Willy's average data of 8+8, although less is less, but it is the standard configuration of blue-collar centers.

Now Willie is suddenly worried that he can't get the ball, there must be some special reason.

After thinking quickly, Zhang Feng thought of a possibility. That is, in the game against the Pelicans, Willy had to face Cousins, the Kings' former dominant player, who was Cousins' backup for most of the first two seasons.

The difference in strength between the two is too big, if Willie can have a few empty layups, the scene will not be too ugly, but if Willy can't catch any balls, the scene will definitely be a complete explosion.

Willy, as the starting center of the current Kings, definitely doesn't want to be embarrassed too much, and he is evaluated as a 108,000-mile gap with Cousins, after all, he himself is also the 6th pick in 15.

Seeing through and not saying that it is a common way to save face for others, but Willy is so obvious that Zhang Feng feels that another method encourages him.

"You don't have to worry about this, I need you to help me beat Cousins in the Pelicans game tomorrow"

As soon as Zhang Feng said this, Willy suddenly came to his senses, and he asked excitedly and suspiciously, "Really?" You believe me so much? ”

"Of course, your strength is obvious to all, tomorrow's game I want to officially correct my status as the king's leading player, you all have to help me" Zhang Feng encouraged Willy without a trace.

"Of course, why don't we come here to practice, I'm afraid that we won't be able to win the game, and you will be sad then" Justin suddenly spoke, and the other Kings players also nodded, and Randolph and Carter both patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder.

Nima ......, Zhang Feng didn't expect that in order to encourage his teammates, he said this casually, and finally found that his teammates were encouraging him.

Is everyone worried about the instability of their status as the king's leading player?
