After defeating the Hornets, Zhang Feng's talk of surpassing Jordan in the future was pushed to the climax.

But it wasn't until the post-game interview that Zhang Feng heard Jordan's praise from reporters, and he first expressed his gratitude, and finally returned to game-related questions.

Naturally, Jordan was also interviewed, and after praising Zhang Feng again, he took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Feng.

"Do a good job, our time has passed, and now the alliance is yours".

Jordan's words not only inspired Zhang Feng, but also inspired the other members of the Kings, Carter, Hill, Randolph three veterans needless to say, Justin, Mason, Bogdan and other rookies are even more excited.

With Jordan's encouragement, the Kings beat the Nuggets in the next game and won 17 in a row.

The Kings' longest winning streak in history is 18 games, and whether they can equal that record will depend on beating the Spurs in the final game of a six-game home game.

Fortunately, the Spurs did not let him play in back-to-back games against the Kings just because of Kawaii's recent return from injury.

Without Kawaii's Spurs, no one can stop Zhang Feng, even though the Spurs have a strong system, and Brin Forbes once caused trouble for Zhang Feng, but the Kings finally defeated the Spurs under the leadership of Zhang Feng, winning 18 consecutive victories, tying the record for the longest winning streak in team history.

But tying the longest winning streak in franchise history isn't the happiest thing for Kings fans and players, because the Kings will play the Lakers in the next game.

Why did the Lakers make Kings fans and players so happy?

Because the hatred of the past cannot be forgotten. In the 02 Western Conference Finals, the Kings played against the Lakers, and the situation was originally good, but it was stifled by the referee's black whistle. Although the referee on duty in that game was later arrested and imprisoned, and the black whistle was known to the world, the past could not be changed, and the Lakers achieved three consecutive championships, but the Kings collapsed and failed to make the playoffs for 15 consecutive years.

During this period, the King's Princeton system was disbanded, and then the training trade was made to acquire Artest, and the training of newcomer Kevin Martin unfortunately did not work, and the subsequent successive training of Tyrek Evans and Demaku Cousins also ended in the same way.

Fortunately, the king finally ushered in Zhang Feng. Since the beginning of the summer league, Zhang Feng has shown talent, and everyone who cares about the Kings feels that in a few years, the Kings can return to the playoffs.

But happiness came too suddenly, the season has not yet passed halfway, and Zhang Feng has already led the king to dominate the first place in the West.

And the Lakers, who are known as talented, have the 'leader' Ball, the 'little Durant' Ingram, the strongest second-round pick Kuzma, and Randle are ranked twelfth in the West.

The worst part is that the Lakers have just gone through a nine-game losing streak, and if it weren't for the luck of meeting the league-bottom Hawks, the Lakers would have equaled the longest losing streak in franchise history – 10 straight losses.

If it had been a month ago, the Lakers would have seen the game against the Kings as a chance to win.

It's a pity that times have changed now, and in the face of the first king in the West, the Lakers dare not come out.

In the pre-game interview, Wharton praised Zhang Feng for how good, how good the head coach David led the team, and how strong the king was.

Even high-profile figures such as Laval Bauer did not dare to boast about Lonzo Bauer by belittling Zhang Feng as before.

In short, the Lakers are no longer in momentum, and the Kings are unstoppable.

At 6 p.m. on the 10th, the Kings gathered in the Staples visiting locker room to discuss tactics.

"We must win this time!" , The first person to speak was not Zhang Feng, nor head coach David, let alone other Kings players, but Divac was the first to stand up and speak, as a witness to the 02 Western Conference Finals tragedy, his hatred is stronger than anyone else.

"Not only to win, but also to win!" David added.

"Is there anything that can be used as a breaking point?" Brandon, the assistant manager, proposed.

"We have ace point guard Zhang Feng, naturally it is the defender who blows up the opponent" Mason smiled at Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng bowed slightly, he understood what Mason meant, and at the same time he suddenly thought of the news he watched yesterday.

"Recently, the Lakers have lost 9 in a row, and a major reason is that Lonzo Ball is not there, the Lakers lack a playmaker, without organization, they are just a group of stragglers, everyone rest assured, I will definitely guard him."

For Zhang Feng's words, all the kings laughed, they naturally believed in Zhang Feng's ability, but David still shook his head:

"It's not enough for you to keep him alone, we have to keep Ingram out of play."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Justin volunteered.

Justin stood up at this time, which showed that the king was in full swing, and David nodded with satisfaction.

After the discussion, it is time to be interviewed by the media, except for David, who is usually to be interviewed, Zhang Feng is also scheduled to be interviewed today.

When he arrived at the media area, Zhang Feng saw that there were many reporters who came, but he didn't see any acquaintances.

Without waiting for the reporter to speak, Zhang Feng preemptively said: "Is there an ESPN reporter?" I'm very sorry, but I'm not interviewing ESPN, I'm not targeting you journalists, I'm targeting ESPN."

When the words fell, the king staff next to him was dumbfounded, and the reporters in the audience were confused, although everyone knew that Zhang Feng and EPSN had a long-standing contradiction, but it was probably not good to say it directly.

However, TNT's reporter was keenly aware of the opportunity and immediately asked:

"Can you explain why you didn't give an interview? As fellow journalists, we have an obligation to care about this."

On the surface, this sounds like a foil to ESPN, but everyone here is a clear-eyed person, why Zhang Feng didn't accept the interview, everyone can guess seventy-seven-eighty-eight, the TNT reporter asked this, just to want Zhang Fenggong to emphasize it publicly again.

Of course, Zhang Feng also understands the idea that the TNT reporter wants to use him as a gunman, but he doesn't mind, he has to tell it anyway, so it will be the same in any situation.

"ESPN often reports false news, which is a disservice to the NBA league, just take the recent report that Laval Ball has promoted internal information that Walton is no longer in control of the Lakers, they are fabricating facts, for such media, I, as an NBA player, should lead by example and personally resist it"

"Okay", after Zhang Feng finished speaking, the reporters raised their hands and applauded, and only the ESPN reporters silently got up and left their seats.

He didn't say this casually, because he knew that after the King's interview, reporters would go to interview the Lakers and interview Wharton, and the reporters would definitely relay their own words at that time.

Although this is not necessarily useful, but the two kings are at war, attacking the city for the bottom and attacking the heart for the top, as long as it can make the Lakers generals feel a little pimple in their hearts, then the king's chances will be one more point.

Sure enough, the reporters turned their heads and told Wharton about Zhang Feng, Wharton looked embarrassed, he really couldn't imagine that there was an outsider who supported him, but he couldn't express his thoughts, so he could only vaguely say that this was not a problem he should care about.

At 7 o'clock sharp, the game between the two teams began.

Lakers starters: Ball, Pope, Ingram, Randle, Lopez.

Kings starters: Zhang Feng, Bogdan, Justin, Willy, Randolph.

Randolph won the jump ball, and the Kings launched their first attack, and Zhang quickly brought the ball to the top of the arc, and then motioned for his teammates to pull away. Directly choose heads-up, Zhang Feng is so strong!

"After tonight's game, the fans won't compare the two of us again!" , Seeing Bauer, Zhang Feng couldn't help but spew trash talk, of course, Bauer was not wrong, he just paid the price for his father's remarks.

Bauer looked calm, approaching him to be the one who even glanced at his teammates and left.

Bending over, dribbling under the crotch, wrestling shoulders, three moves in a row, but Bauer did not move at all.

"I'm rubbing, defensive skills are improving so fast?" Zhang Feng beat the drum in his heart.

"No, he didn't react......" Seeing Bauer reach out after 1 second, Zhang Feng realized that he was moving too fast and failed to substitute Bauer into the rhythm.

"See? Although Ball is not as good as Zhang Feng on offense, his defense is a must, and Zhang Feng's action, Ball was not fooled at all," Lakers courtside commentator Steven praised.

"Uh......" Another commentator, Kyle Thompson, knew that the situation was not what Steven thought, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly, as long as he diverted the topic, "Zhang Feng seems to have said something to Ball just now."

"It's useless to say anything, Ball is calm, wise, and very mature, not comparable to his kind of high-profile people who announce their marriage proposals" Steven "didn't appreciate it."

But in a blink of an eye, Steven was dumbfounded, only to see Zhang Feng on the court directly shake off Ball, and then took three steps and did two to kill the inside, facing Lopez's defensive throwing and shooting, scoring 2 points.

"This ......," Steven was speechless for a moment.

"Ball's defense is good, but Zhang Feng can't even guard against kawaii and LeBron, and it's understandable that he can't prevent Zhang Feng", Kyle Thompson, as Klay Thompson's father and a two-time champion member, naturally knows the actual reason why Ballvins didn't move just now, but as a Lakers commentator, he still has to find a way to explain his players.

The best way to explain is to praise the opponent, which is exactly what happened to that sentence, it's not that our army is incompetent, it's just that the opponent is blamed for having Gundam.

But Zhang Feng and Ball are both rookies, and when he thinks that other people's players are so good, and his own players' qualified performance is also bleak, Kyle Thompson suddenly feels uncomfortable.

Yibian Lakers attacked, Ball advanced with the ball, he handed over to Pope at the three-point line, the latter couldn't break through with the ball, and then turned to the crotch dribble to withdraw to the three-point line, and then couldn't take advantage of Bogdan again, and the ball returned to Ball's hands again.

In the face of Zhang Feng's defense, Bauer strode to the right, Zhang Feng retreated to intercept, Bauer immediately stopped the ball and withdrew to shoot with his hand, Zhang Feng failed to defend in time because the speed was too fast.

“NICE！” , The Lakers bench was jubilant, this kind of shaking goal was the most exciting, not to mention that the person who was shaken was Zhang Feng - the person who caused the Lakers to lose by a large score.

It is said that the shooting rate automatically increases by 50% after shaking people, but Ball's shooting rate this season is only 33%, and with 50%, it is only 83%, so the shooting is iron.

"Shit", the Lakers bench sighed.

Hesitating Ball's posture was weird, the basketball was smashed on the right side of the hoop, and after the rebound, the rebound was picked up by Bogdan who was squatting in the bottom corner of the left side, and Zhang Feng immediately told the sprint to go straight to the frontcourt.

Tacit understanding, or chemistry, is an important part of the team's strength, Zhang Feng is not to say quickly, Bogdan also knows how to throw the ball to the frontcourt.

Originally, Zhang Feng's speed was fast, not to mention that he ran in advance, and the Lakers players couldn't chase it, so they could only watch Zhang Feng go to the empty basket.

The Lakers attacked again, Ball passed to Lopez at the top of the arc, who played the ball with his back, and after the test failed, the basketball was passed to Ingram on the left wing.

Ingram's recent desire to attack is not strong, firstly, because Kuzma, Pope and others have too many shots, and he naturally has fewer opportunities to shoot, and secondly, the recent losing streak, not only the Lakers, but even the fans feel that it is not okay without Ball, Ball is the future leader of the Lakers, if he can catch up with the superstar, the Lakers may not hesitate to put him on the trade list.

But at this time, it was Justin who defended him, his height and arm span were not as good as him, and there seemed to be no problem with an attack with a great success rate, and besides, this goal was given to him only when Lopes couldn't score, not what he wanted, even if he didn't score, he didn't have any responsibility.

Just think about it, Ingram raised the ball and shot with a false gesture, Justin wanted to save but held back. Unable to pick it up, Ingram could only bury his head in the dribble and break through to the paint.

Seeing that Justin was out of position, Randolph hurriedly withdrew from the interior defense. It was supposed that England should have passed the unguarded Lopes at this time, but there was little time left to attack, and he had to make a shot.

From suddenly receiving the ball, to taking the initiative to want to play, and finally becoming forced to shoot, Ingram's mentality has changed continuously, causing his shots to be affected, his strength is obviously smaller, and the basketball does not touch the frame.

It's embarrassing to shoot three points at the three-point line, and it's even more embarrassing to shoot three without a free throw, but it's not as embarrassing as the three no-sticks from the inside shot, because the first two may be because the shooting strength is not well controlled, and the three-point shooting is not sticky, and it can only be that the shot is weak.

Fortunately, the unguarded Lopez picked up the rebound, but because the basketball did not stick to the basket, the offensive time would not be reset.

Turning back to the king's offense, Zhang Feng rushed to the front court quickly with the ball, and the Lakers players probably stopped outside the three-point line and waited according to Wharton's instructions, making it clear that they didn't want Zhang Feng to shoot 3 points.

Zhang Feng also found out about this, he smiled, since this is the case, then he has to vote.

Two steps outside the three-point line, Zhang Feng suddenly collected the ball and pulled out his hand to shoot three points far away, Ball didn't react at all, his hand didn't stretch out, and he could only turn around and silently watch the flight trajectory of the basketball.

Hit! The Lakers fans' shouts of "defend, defend, defend" came to an abrupt end, and the entire Stamps arena fell silent for a second.

Murder and heartbreaking! To say that Zhang Feng has made three consecutive three-point shots, and the feeling is open, fans can understand it, but what does it mean to hit a three-point shot from a long distance as soon as he comes up?

Are you planning to add another shameful record of big losses to the Lakers?
