After the victory over the Wizards, the Kings immediately headed for Atlanta. This season's Hawks, without Howard and Millsap, have not had a single star on the team, and the Kings continue to pursue the all-for-all strategy. In the end, the Kings easily won the game with seven double-doubles, and Zhang Feng cut down the luxurious data of 20 assists.
At the end of the three-game road streak in the East, the Kings won all three games, and continued to maintain the first place in the West, and did not decline as quickly as the Grizzlies and Clippers, and Divac and other senior executives also temporarily stopped trade negotiations with the Clippers.
Returning to the first game of the Golden No. 1 Arena, affected by the road trip, the shooting rate of the Kings team was extremely low, but fortunately, the Trail Blazers who came to challenge also did not play well, and the two teams went through a crazy iron battle, and finally the Kings won the game 98-96.
Although they won the game, they were immediately overpowered by the Trail Blazers in back-to-back games on the second day. Even though Zhang Feng scored 35 points with an excellent personal performance, he still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten by the Trail Blazers' backcourt duo - Lillard and CJ McCollum, and the Kings finally lost the game 90-102, ending a six-game winning streak.
After two days of rest, the Kings hosted the Nuggets, and the Denver people learned their lesson this time and were not divided by Zhang Feng as before, but unfortunately Millsap was suspended due to injury, and the Nuggets had no advantage inside, Zhang Feng He once again sent a terrifying 18 assists, and the Kings clocked out in the third quarter and beat the Nuggets 114-98.
After winning the Nuggets, the Kings pulled the Rockets from the top of the West with a 13-4 record, becoming the No. 1 in the West for the third time this season, which finally attracted attention from all walks of life, and experts, players, and celebrities began to analyze the Kings.
In this article titled "The Woman Behind King Zhang Feng - An Jiali/Wang Wanlu", Bill Simmons reviewed his interview with Zhang Feng and the insider's revelations, elaborating on how Wang Wanlu packaged Zhang Feng to enter the NBA, and how he negotiated with Nike to sign Zhang Feng with a five-year, $60 million contract with signed shoes.
At the same time, Bill Simmons also sorted out the history of Zhang Feng and An Jiali's relationship development, and used this as a starting point to demonstrate how An Jiali brought Zhang Feng to the king, how to motivate Zhang Feng to work hard and drive the whole team. In short, Bill Simmons used a joking tone and humor to explain to the fans why the Kings achieved such an impressive record.
In terms of celebrities, O'Neal invited Kobe Bryant and Divac to do a talk show for the first time.
Kobe Bryant told his personality about why he understood Zhang Feng to bring the Kings to the first place in the West, he revealed to the outside world that he asked Zhang Feng to improve his mid-range shooting skills, Zhang Feng asked Hamilton about mid-range shooting the next day, and he also said on the spot that Zhang Feng is the person who plays most like him in the league today.
Divac cited Zhang Feng's frequent dinners, encouragement of substitute players, and reconciliation of team relations to show that Zhang Feng has been working hard to increase the overall cohesion of the Kings.
There will naturally be criticism if there is praise, and Oscar Robertson, who is also a famous king, thinks that Zhang Feng's football skills are good, but his character is too poor, and he has done a very poor job in respecting his predecessors.
In terms of fans, Zhang Feng, who set three all-time records (the highest score in his debut at 43 points, the fastest double-double in 7 minutes, and the highest rookie score of 59 points), achieved an absolute advantage, and in the forum's best rookie vote, Zhang Feng was far ahead of Tatum and Lonzo Ball, even if the ball dad moved out of Ball's all-time record of the youngest triple-double.
Just when the Kings were about to host the Lakers, the second youngest son of the ball dad committed theft in China, and the reason why the ball dad himself repeatedly disrespected Chinese fans, many Chinese fans left a message on Zhang Feng's Weibo, hoping that Zhang Feng would beat Lonzo Ball in the next game against the Lakers, Zhang Feng liked the message and replied with an ok emoji.
This expression immediately sparked displeasure from the ball father, who tweeted that he was insulted, and he demanded that Zhang Feng apologize immediately, otherwise Lonzo Ball would blow Zhang Feng up in the next game.
Fans all took Daddy's reply as a joke, and they thought that with Lonzo Power's rare all-time low shooting percentage and paper-like defense, the departure of 6 fouls without being beaten was Zhang Feng's greatest mercy.
Zhang Feng ignored the crazy ball father, he worked with the whole team to distribute Thanksgiving food to local residents in Sacramento, and led the whole team to hold charity basketball games in multiple communities, bringing happiness to the community residents, and Zhang Feng's reputation was greatly increased again.
The team's Thanksgiving event lasted one day, and the next day Zhang Feng flew to Los Angeles with Anjiali to have dinner with Harry, Steve and others. Although Zhang Feng has never been in charge of the affairs of Dongsheng Hall since the start of the competition, Dongsheng has developed rapidly under the management of Feng Yaoyao and others, and now the scale can no longer meet the increasing demand of students, and it is urgent to add new branches.
After the dinner, Zhang Feng made a special trip to Kobe's house to visit him, thanking him for his praise in the media and his encouragement and supervision, but Kobe Bryant 'scolded' Zhang Feng and complained that Zhang Feng did not notify him to participate in his eldest cousin's movie. Zhang Feng was surprised by Kobe's investment enthusiasm, but Kobe said that if his greatest achievement was in basketball after 20 years, it would be a failure, and finally Kobe Bryant strongly asked Zhang Feng to bring him with him next time he had any investment.
After a trip, Zhang rushed back to Sacramento to participate in the team's training to prepare for the next game against the Los Angeles duo - Lakers and Clippers.
The Lakers have been in poor shape lately, losing two of their three games and trying to take the Kings. Although the opponent was not strong, after some analysis, David told Zhang Feng not to blow up Lonzo Ball, because Pope and Clarkson were more threatening to the Kings, and keeping Ball on the court would be more powerful for the Kings.
This kind of humor amused the whole team, but Zhang Feng was still determined to beat Ball, which was not only a request from Chinese fans, but also his best chance to shut up his football father.
This game attracted the attention of several media, TNT made a special comparison of Zhang Feng and Lonzo Ball's performance since the start of the game, after the shooting percentage, team contribution and other aspects of the comparison, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhang Feng defeated Lonzo Ball, and used the same method to compare Zhang Feng and Tatum, Zhang Feng is also the absolute lead.
This conclusion once again activated the praise of Zhang Feng from all walks of life, and some media even began to predict that Zhang Feng might win the regular season MVP in his rookie season like Wilt Chamberlain and Unseld.
For the praise from all walks of life, Zhang Feng issued an open letter to express his gratitude, and said that he would not forget his original intention and insist on bringing high-quality games to fans.
