Throughout the night, the Kings gathered in Zhang's room, drinking beers, telling jokes, and watching the Knicks play the Cavaliers.

The Knicks, who were playing at home, led for a full three quarters, and rookie Frank also took the initiative to push James to fight back, and the grumpy Kanter also did what he said, and he also pushed James when he blocked and dismantled outside the three-point line, which can be said to be a rare bloody game, and the Knicks were also excited.

It's a pity that in the end, the Cavaliers scored a wave of points and turned the game, and the Knicks fell short.

"This Frank is more than five times worse than you, why did the Knicks rate your tryout so low in the first place?" As soon as the game ended, Justin asked curiously.

Zhang Feng didn't want to mention this old adult incident, "Who knows, but they can even miss Curry, and it's normal to look down on me, after all, this is the center of the world, and the Knicks also have the most stadium in the world."

"Come on, it's not as good as you think", Randolph shook his head and pouted, "Most of the people who go to Madison Garden to watch the game are fake fans, they just want to have a good time, where is it close to the subway, in terms of transportation, many people go on a date."

Justin was a little unconvinced, "but both Jordan and James thought Madison Garden was the best arena."

"There's a lot of legend that was born at Madison Garden," Mason added.

"Oh? So tell me about it? For every awesome stat you say from Madison Garden, I can cite an even more awesome stat that has been produced in other arenas," Randolph clasped his hands to his chest, his face full of confidence.

"'95 Jordan scored 55 points on 21-of-37 shooting at Madison Garden"

"Career-high 69 points and 18 rebound......s at Litchfield Arena in '90"

"Bryant once scored 61 points in Madison"

"Do I need to refute this? Haven't seen Kobe Bryant fight the Raptors? ”

……

"Miller moment!" Mason thought for a long time to cite this list.

"You young players haven't seen Maddie play Spurs?"

"......" Mason said for a moment, a little speechless.

Zhang Feng, who watched the conversation between the two, laughed, "You Belandorf has been biased, to give a separate example, of course, other stadiums are stronger, there is nothing to fight about."

"Why?" Mason asked rhetorically, puzzled.

"Damn, Madison Garden plays a maximum of 58 games in a season, so how can it compare to the total number of games played in the other 29 arenas? It must be more awesome records in other stadiums," Zhang Feng helplessly spread his hands.

"Yes, I didn't expect it, you Chinese mathematics is good!"

After Mason finished speaking, he also gave a thumbs up to praise, which made the Kings laugh, Zhang Feng continued: "The reason why Madison Garden is famous is because there are many fans and enthusiasm here, which is easy to stimulate the fighting spirit of the stars, and the Knicks have always been very poor in defense, and it is normal for superstars to go crazy and brush up on data."

"Makes sense, so how many points are you going to score tomorrow? Why don't you get 50+, 40+ you've already taken it, otherwise it's not bad to brush a super two-pair" Mason continued to pat himself on the back.

"Then pass you the ball tomorrow, what if you can't shoot?" Zhang Feng asked cheaply.

"Well, well, I'll try my best, I'll do my best," Mason replied, rubbing his hands.

----

At 7 p.m. on the 12th, the Kings' away game against the Knicks began with players entering.

When Zhang Feng was introduced, Hornacek was a little stunned, and he tried to persuade the Knicks management to give Zhang Feng a draft promise or seek to trade draft picks upwards to ensure Zhang Feng, but Phil Jackson and other executives did not care.

Hornacek has been keeping an eye on Zhang Feng's performance since then, and in the first summer league game, he regretted that he didn't try hard to get Zhang Feng from the Knicks, especially when he heard that the Heat Riley had tried to trade up for draft picks to get Zhang Feng, and he was even more sure that Zhang Feng was a future superstar.

A series of things that happened later, such as Zhang Feng leading the team to win the Summer League championship, beating the Spurs twice in the preseason, trailing by 32 points, and scoring 43 points in the first game, made Hornacek feel extremely heartbroken and regretful, Zhang Feng only participated in the Knicks and Kings tryouts.

But what is even more painful for Hornacek is that the Knicks did not choose Dennis Smith, in fact, at the beginning of this year's draft, many people criticized the Knicks for missing Dennis Smith, such as Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler, but he is not as influential as James, so it did not cause much discussion.

In the TNT live broadcast room, the three began to explain the game.

"Kenny, what's the highlight of tonight's game?"

"You're not doing pre-game preparation now? You're going to be beaten by Shaq like that."

"Haha, Charles, let me tell you the highlight of tonight, that is, Zhang Fengfeng cut down the explosion data tonight!"

"Two pairs of large sizes? A large triple double? Slash 50 points? Breaking the single-game assist record? Breaking the single-game scoring record? I don't even believe it, but there is a high probability that he can win 30+15, and if he wins, it will be enough for you to blow for a month."

Barkley said that these requirements are very difficult, O'Neill didn't want to refute easily, but said: "There must be more than 30+15, at least 40 points!" ”。

With that, Barkley argues with O'Neill again, and Kenny shakes his head and laughs.

On the field, the players of both teams have finished their positions. The Kings started the same lineup, and the Knicks fielded a starting lineup consisting of Boshen, Kanter, Hardaway Jr., Jack, and Courtney Lee, which looked much better than the Kings.

Willy's jump ball had no advantage over Kanter, and the first-round offensive ball went to the Knicks.

For Zhang Feng, Jack is a little unconvinced, he is a well-known starting point guard killer, in his understanding, Zhang Feng is probably at the same level as Jeremy Lin, but just play a few good games, plus the identity of Chinese is just boasted by the media. Therefore, Jack did not call for a block after half time, and he chose to break Zhang Feng directly.

Where does this bcourage come from? Zhang Feng asked in his heart, no matter what, since you want to pretend to be the most hanging, then I'll get started!

As soon as Jack burst into the free throw line, Zhang Feng put his right hand on Jack's waist, and Jack's sprinting speed immediately decreased.

The breakthrough was blocked, and Jack could only stop the ball. It is taboo for a defender to stop the ball in the paint area, Zhang Feng is a color, and Scal gives up Boshen and goes forward to pack. Jack scrambled to make a pass error and Carter made a steal.

In the first round, Zhang Fengfang made a mistake, and even though Hornacek had the city in his chest, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The two teams chase each other, and Carter hands over Zhang Feng on the left wing. With Carter's cover, Zhang Feng took a step to the right to dribble, and then immediately pulled out a jumper, which felt good and hit a 3-point shot.

The Knicks attacked, and the turn-over Jack did not continue to be strong, he passed the ball at the top of the arc, Boshen hit 2 points on his back, Courtney dribbled and scored a layup in the short corner area (where the paint area meets the sideline and the baseline line).

On the king's side, Willy immediately served, Zhang Feng received the ball and was lucky, and when he rushed to the three-point line, there was only Jack in front of him.

Looking at the paper-like defense, Hornacek shook his head in frustration.
