O'Neill's words instantly spread to all corners of the world through TNT. Across social networks, the number of discussions about the decision of the match grew like a satellite launch, with 10,000 comments appearing in less than a minute.

"It's really hard for yellow people to gain a foothold in the NBA, and if it weren't for Chirs Rock's racist guy as a judge in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Zhang Feng would have scored 5 50 points."

"The league wanted the Kings to move to Seattle a few years ago, but the people of Sacramento and the Lanadivies kept the Kings, and now it seems that the league is not dead."

"When I found out that the referee of the match was Tony Brother, I frowned, knowing that it wasn't that simple, and now it seems that it is so."

Countless 'conspiracy theories' appeared on major social media in an instant, and for a while, tens of thousands of responders came, but soon, some fans put forward a new statement:

"Xiao Hua has always attached importance to Zhang Feng, and things such as the summer league finals, the recruitment of Paul George, and the All-Star Weekend all show that he uses Zhang Feng as a cash cow, how can he target Zhang Feng?"

"Friend, it's true that Xiao Hua likes to make money with Zhang Feng, but this is not contradictory to what happened just now, if this round of the series, you can still only play 4 or 5 games, and the money you lose and the money you make with Zhang Feng is more, it's really not necessarily."

This point of view was quickly recognized by most fans, after all, most of the previous Western Conference playoff matchups ended within 5 games, which is different from the style of Xiao Hua who has often staged a tie-break since he came to power. In today's game, Zhang Feng completely locked up Harden again, and if he continues to play like this, I am afraid that it will be another 5 games to end the Western Conference Finals.

It's a well-known fact that while the cost of TV broadcasts doesn't increase as a result of a longer series, more games can bring more advertising revenue, ticket revenue.

The league can take 45% of the revenue from playoff tickets alone.

The most important thing is that most fans regard the matchup between the Kings and the Rockets as the Finals, and fans believe that whether the Kings or the Rockets enter the Finals, they will defeat the Eastern Conference champion and win the championship.

According to data provided by TNT, ESPN, and NBATV, the ratings of this round series exceeded that of any other series in NBA history, and the number of simultaneous viewers worldwide through various channels reached 800 million at the time of opening.

Many companies, especially Chinese companies, are lining up to advertise at the Golden One Center and the Toyota Center. For them, a series with Zhang Feng and Zhou Qi is simply a great opportunity to promote their products and services.

Rumor has it that Shanghai Pudong Development Bank spent $20 million to rent an advertising space on the top edge of the rebound, and Zhang Feng's previous gliding windmill dunk made their exposure instantly increase I don't know how much.

"It's very clear by now that the league is intent on manipulating the game in the hope of getting more bang for its buck, and with that one in '02, this is the second time the Kings have been victimized. Of course, the Rockets are also victims, and once they gain the upper hand, I believe the referees will not hesitate to sanction them."

This point of view has also been liked and retweeted by many people. In fact, in the '02 Western Conference Finals, both the Kings and the Lakers were victims of the league's game rigging.

In that round of the series G5, O'Neal was very powerful, but he was blown 2 whistles in a row in the fourth quarter and left the court with 6 fouls, and finally Bibby beat the Lakers.

When it came to G6, the referee deliberately let the Lakers get a lot of free throws, and even reached a terrifying 27 in the fourth quarter, which led to the final defeat of the Kings.

At the end of the day, it's hard to say who the league and the referees want to help, but it's certain that the league is intent on manipulating the outcome of the game in the hope of playing more games in the series.

So when Barkley and Kenny saw the truth clearly but didn't speak out, O'Neal, who had a similar experience, bravely stood up, but his price for this may be that various activities of the alliance will forget his existence in the future.

At the same time as the discussion on social networks was boiling, the first quarter of the game had ended, and the Rockets took advantage of Zhang Feng's time to slow down and played a wave of counterattacks, only trailing by 4 points, but considering that Zhang Feng had 3 fouls on his back, it can even be said that the Rockets have a huge advantage.

In the blink of an eye, the second quarter of the game was about to start, Zhang Feng took off his coat, unbuttoned his training pants, twisted his body and prepared to play, but David pulled him back.

"Don't go on for a while, let the fans shout a little longer, if the referee continues to target you, then we will be in a very difficult situation."

"Yes, I can withstand it, don't worry, trust me," Rose said, patting his chest.

"Let Rose take us to the official timeout, we are not afraid of the Rockets, as long as you are there, even if we are 20 points behind, we can chase it" Randolph also discouraged.

"It's not that I don't trust you" Zhang Feng patted Ross on the shoulder, then turned to Randolph and said, "It's not a question of being afraid or not." Do you see the faces full of anticipation at the scene? They've put pictures of us on Sacramento's landmarks and thought we could give them the championship of their dreams, but now they're a little worried, a little scared, and I'm going to reassure Sacramento fans today that they won't be hurt a second time."

Zhang Feng's tone was resolute and righteous, David frowned and thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's okay, for our best fans!" ”

"For the fans!" The Kings players gathered around and high-fived each other.

Zhang Feng reappeared so soon, obviously not in the fans' expectations, and the shouts of MVP once again resounded in the Golden One Center.

The king attacked first, and Zhang Feng dribbled the ball across the half court. Whether it was the regular season or the first quarter of the game, Paul, who had never used defensive tactics, suddenly turned his pace and leaned in.

The intention is very obvious, Paul hopes to increase the probability of Zhang Feng's foul through physical contact, he is a master of 'small movements', and Zhang Feng's situation is very dangerous.

THE REFEREE TONY BORTHER ON THE SIDELINES BENT OVER AND HALF SQUATTED, HOLDING THE WHISTLE IN HIS MOUTH WITH HIS LEFT HAND, RAISING HIS RIGHT HAND HIGH, STARING WITH BATED BREATH, AS IF HE WANTED TO TAKE IN ALL OF ZHANG FENG'S MOVEMENTS, AND AS LONG AS ZHANG FENG HAD ANY FOUL MOVES, HE WOULD BLOW THE WHISTLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Feng dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, kicked the ground hard with his right foot, and took a big step with his left foot, which was at least 2 big strides away from Paul in the blink of an eye.

Before Paul could react, Zhang Feng picked up the basketball with his left hand, directly pulled out the shot, and hit a 3-point shot!

Without any physical contact, the whole offense only took one step, the shot was quick and decisive, and there was no chance to blow for a foul without the ball.

Yibian Rockets attacked, Harden received the ball on the left wing, and immediately leaned back to play, not even protecting the ball, completely unscrupulous, as if provoking Zhang Feng: "There is a kind of you to rob!" ”。

But Zhang Feng was unmoved, he raised his hands high, and only relied on the strength of the lower plate to deal with Harden's strong top.

But even so, Harden was stunned and failed to push Zhang Feng. Three seconds later, Harden chose to roll over and jump, but Zhang Feng only jumped on the spot to block his shooting sight, and his hands were far away from Harden.

The shooting iron, Randolph grabbed the rebound, and then passed to Zhang Feng, Paul and Harden rushed directly to force the grab, and it seemed that there was no scruple of fouling.

It's a pity that their speed is still not as good as Zhang Feng, after rushing across the halfway, Zhang Feng took two more steps and directly pulled out a shot to go beyond the three-point shot, and Paul, who was on guard, and Harden, who rushed to the basket in advance, did not react at all.

Still hits! TONY BORTHER, WHO WAS ON THE SIDELINES, STOOD UP STRAIGHT, AS IF HE HAD MISSED SOMETHING.

The Rockets attacked again, and Harden continued to play Zhang Feng alone, but it didn't work well, and finally passed to PJ-Tucker on the baseline to make a hasty shot and add an iron.

The King got the rebound, there was no fast break, Zhang Feng singled Paul on the right wing, Randolph wanted to step forward to block and dismantle, he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to.

With a simple cross-step move, Zhang Feng easily passed Paul and struck to the basket from the short corner area on the right side.

He was very fast, like an angry bull, Ariza gave up Lefu to go up to block, he flashed directly, and then jumped directly in three steps. After flying into the air, Capela and PJ-Tucker jumped at the same time.

said that it was a pounce, but it was actually aimed at Zhang Fengren, even if he couldn't cover the ball, Zhang Feng would be hit by these two big insiders.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Feng seemed to have expected it, so he put away his dunk hand, continued to glide, and waited until he crossed the hoop before raising his hand again.

The bottom line breaks through the lever and backhand buckle! There was no physical contact whatsoever!

The Kings led by 12 points again, and De Antony got up to call a timeout, and the crowd gave a collective standing ovation.

Zhang Feng ran all the way from the baseline to the midfield, jumped on the technical table, and raised his head with open arms and roared at the ceiling:

"In this world, there is no capable person to sanction me, the referee can't, and neither can God!"
