Chapter 350: Now Who's the Young King!
In Salt Lake City, the Vetet Smart Home Arena, the Kings and Jazz teams have entered the warm-up.
In addition to achieving 30 assists tonight, Zhang Feng has another selfish intention for this game, that is, to blow up the Jazz and express his regret about the Rockets' 2 defeat to Salt Lake City.
In the past, when he was on the mountain, Zhang Feng's home team was the Rockets, because the Rockets had Yao Ming, but every time Yao Ming met the trio of Boozer, Oku, and Kirilenko in the playoffs, they couldn't play their full strength.
Although time has long passed, things are wrong, and the Jazz core Boozer and Delon are no longer in the league, and even Sloan is no longer coaching, but Zhang Feng still has a longing in his heart that he must beat the Jazz this time. In addition, the king lost to the Thunder, the singing and declining voice on the Internet has not ended, and there are still many people who pay attention to this originally unimportant game, Zhang Feng can't help himself, and he can't do it if he doesn't want to perform.
After the warm-up, the reporters began to conduct interviews, and Zhang Feng naturally 'bore the brunt' of being surrounded by reporters.
"May I ask Mr. Zhang Feng, LeBron once praised you as a young king, but in the same way, he also told the Lakers' Lonzo Ball and the Jazz's Donovan Mitchell, Ball has been defeated by you many times, do you plan to beat Donovan Mitchell today to prove yourself as the only 'young king'?"
Journalists still stir up trouble, and the first question is full of inducement, wishing that Zhang Feng would say a few words that 'disparage' Donovan Mitchell and then make a big news.
But Zhang Feng has always been good at dealing with reporters, he shook his head and smiled: "Maybe you are mistaken, as long as it is a young person, whether it is an NBA player or a child, he will call it a young king".
And what's going on? All the reporters were stunned, looking at Zhang Feng neatly with puzzled eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"Haven't you watched the news lately? LeBron said that the child in the H&M clothing ad is also a young king, you reporters should watch the news more, otherwise there will be deviations in the report in the future, and you will be responsible? ”
"Gree......" Zhang Feng said, and the reporter who asked the question was stunned.
"And what do you think of the trade rumors that just got out?" Another reporter asked again.
"What deal rumors?" Zhang Feng was puzzled.
"That's OJ's latest revelation that the Kings traded George – plus a first-round pick for Paul's George's message"
The matter that was decided was discussed in the afternoon, and the news was revealed in the evening, and it was Zhang Feng's turn to be stunned. How to answer, Zhang Feng fell into deep thought for a while.
Maybe it's an opportunity? Anyway, OJ is so famous in the industry, and his revelations are accurate one by one, and now he denies it may not be believed at all, if he follows the reporter's words, maybe it can deepen the impression of Paul George.
Besides, this is what the reporter took the initiative to ask, and he will not violate the rules of the league if he plays a sideline.
"Message, every season, you ask me what I think, then of course I think it's OK"
As soon as Zhang Feng said this, the reporters curled the corners of their mouths, as if they saw the big news in front of them, and the reporter who asked the question just now asked impatiently:
"Do you think George Hill doesn't fit into the current team anymore?"
Sure enough, this routine is this, Zhang Feng smiled: "What you said is not right, everyone wants to be stronger, every team also wants to be stronger, the transaction is not necessarily who can't, it may also be a win-win situation"
"So do you think the George Hill and Paul George swaps are a win-win for the Kings and the Thunder?" Zhang Feng never mentioned the names of the two, and the reporter continued to lead the topic to the top.
"Hehe, when Mark Gasol and Pau Gasol swapped, people thought the Lakers robbed the Grizzlies, but many years later, the Lakers relied on Pau Gasol to win 2 championships, and the Grizzlies relied on Pau Gasol to become a strong team in the West, isn't this a win-win situation?"
Zhang Feng just didn't mention the names of the two, and he was so anxious that the press corps turned around.
"And what do you think of George Hill's strength?" The reporter came up with a killer idea.
"I'm sorry, the game is going to start soon, I have to play, if you have to get an answer, then let me tell you, I personally very much want to be teammates with Paul George", the goal has been achieved, Zhang Feng smiled wittily, shook his hand away, leaving the reporter speechless.
I don't know if it was the reporter's interview with Zhang Feng just now, so that George Hill heard it, Zhang Feng walked to the bench, except for George Hill, the other Kings players all high-fived Zhang Feng.
Approaching the game, David ended the interview and walked to the bench to arrange the lineup: "George, you go up and play double control with Zhang Feng in a while, we have to pass the ball more tonight, the position of small forward Bogdan goes to the top, Justin substitutes first, big forward Willy, center Randolph, all heard?" ”。
If it was in the past, as soon as David finished speaking, all the Kings players would answer, and the atmosphere was obviously not right tonight, except for Zhang Feng and Justin, no one spoke.
After half a ring, George Hill suddenly spoke: "No problem, am I in charge or Zhang Feng is in charge?" ”。
As soon as Hill spoke, the Kings players turned their heads and focused their eyes on them.
"You are in charge, Zhang Feng plays without the ball" David finished speaking, waved his hand to go on the court, and he didn't want to see more of the embarrassing situation in front of him.
When he arrived on the court, Zhang Feng habitually glanced at the Jazz starting backcourt of Rubio and Donovan, and the other three players, he couldn't recognize them at the first time, and only after carefully recalling them in his mind did he recognize a Sephorosa.
Randolph won the jump ball, the Kings launched their first attack, and George Hill rushed forward with the ball.
When it came to the three-point line, Hill signaled Randolph to block and dismantle, Zhang Feng cut the inside line, a typical elevator tactic, as soon as his gesture fell, Zhang Feng accelerated to the inside line in one step, and at the same time Randolph also ran to the three-point line with the Jazz center.
Between inside and outside, Zhang Feng leaned on Randolph's human wall to get rid of Donovan's entanglement.
Although the inside line is the world of big centers and forwards, Zhang Feng does not compete with them for height. The Jazz naturally understood this, and Sephorosa had to give up Bogdan to chase Zhang Feng, and the responsibility of defending Bogdan naturally fell to Donovan.
The opportunity has been played, Hill directly hung the inside, Zhang Feng made a gesture to shoot to attract Severosa to block, and then passed the ball to Bogdan, who also followed up to the inside.
Donovan is 191CM tall, which is 7CM shorter than Bogdan, although Zhang Feng does not need to compare his height with the Jazz inside, but Bogdan has no problem using his height advantage to bully more than 10,000.
Leaning, sideways, turning and throwing, Bogdan easily scored 2 points and the Kings completed their first assist.
The Jazz attacked, Rubio advanced with the ball, and Hill interfered with his hands up and down.
Seeing that the offense was not smooth, Donovan hurriedly stepped forward to respond, but he was not as fast as Zhang Feng, and he could not receive the ball comfortably, so he could only retreat to the middle line.
Rubio still passed the ball to Donovan, but before Donovan could set up his position, the ball was stealed by Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng and Hill, who made the steal, went down at the same time, and in the face of Rubio and Donovan's pursuit, Zhang Feng made a shooting feint at the three-point line.
This feint tricked Donovan into jumping and blocking, and Rubio also stopped to wait and see.
But! Hill didn't stop, he continued to rush inside, and when he rushed to the basket, Zhang Feng passed.
Receiving the ball, making a layup, scoring 2 points, the Kings completed 2 assists in 1 minute.
Zhang Feng, who landed on the ground, saw Donovan's annoyed expression, and suddenly came out with a ghostly sentence:
"Now, who is the young king!"
