Chapter 353: Support from the Great Cousin

A 10-game ban is not an ordinary serious one, as for whether it is casual or whether the league really has regulations in this regard, Zhang Feng does not know.

But he wasn't nervous at all, and now he had to figure out what was going on.

"Got it, I'll talk about it later, I'll go take a shower first"

"It's all burning eyebrows, why aren't you in a hurry at all" Mason was very puzzled by Zhang Feng's calmness.

"First of all, I don't know if this thing is true or not, if it is false, we don't need to mess around, even if it is true, it is already like that, what else is there to worry about?"

"That seems to be the case...... Mason understood.

Whistling leisurely, Zhang Feng walked into the dressing room and began to rain freely.

Half an hour later, the King's entire team boarded the bus and headed to the Salt Lake City airport. The sweet back-to-back home streak is over, and a six-game tour run awaits them, during which they will take on the Grizzlies in Memphis and then Charlotte. At the end of their trip to the Middle East, they'll head to Florida to enjoy the sun and beaches, and then fly back to Texas to visit the Spurs and Pelicans.

This 6 consecutive passengers lasted 11 days, the journey was as high as tens of thousands of miles, and many things in the team could only be communicated online, so after Zhang Feng got in the car, David deliberately sat with him and prepared to discuss in detail how to deal with the collective criticism on Twitter.

"I'll talk about it in Memphis, I'm a little sleepy now, I'm going to get some sleep first"

In the face of David's kindness, Zhang Feng still waved his hand and refused, causing Mason next to him to put on a 'look like this'. However, David was overjoyed, he knew Zhang Feng's state, and he must have a rough idea in his heart.

Zhang Feng has really thought of a way a long time ago, and the way to resolve the turmoil of the crowd is very simple, let the criticism fly for a while, and when most of the people are tired of 'scolding', naturally some people will start to think about other aspects, and a lot of criticism will be untenable at that time.

Things are really as Zhang Feng thought, after the king got on the plane, the heat about this matter has fallen off a cliff, and fans have begun to pay attention to the results of other games, especially the Lakers vs. Thunder.

The reason why fans are following this game is simple, as Paul George responded to Zhang's comments before the game, and fans are eager to see how he performs, and if he takes fewer shots today, or doesn't get the ball at all, then the scene will be even more interesting.

The drama is that after the game, the Thunder defeated the Lakers, and all six players on the team scored double-doubles, and four of the six starters accounted for one, except for Paul George, who shot 4 of 15 and 1 of 2 free throws to score a total of 9 points.

Under Mason's strong recommendation, Zhang Feng also saw the result of this game, and when he found the data of Paul George, he immediately analyzed the general process of Paul George this game.

First of all, Paul George only made 2 free throws, which means that he didn't have a chance to hit the Lakers inside, you know, a small forward like him with speed and strength, the Lakers inside is a dish for him, plus the Thunder has Wei Shao and Roberts on the outside, he really has no reason not to kill the Lakers inside.

Since he didn't, it must be squatting on the outside to shoot, and the Thunder's first ball handler must be Wei Shao, and from the data point of view, Anthony scored 27 points in the third quarter, made 24 shots in the game, and made a total of 12 free throws, which can basically determine that Anthony is the second ball handler of the Thunder in this game.

Looking down, Thunder center Adams also played very well, in addition to the regular data of 16 rebounds, there are also 7 sports scores, although it may be a breakthrough layup after receiving the ball and dribbling a few steps, that is also playing with the ball, Adams is undoubtedly the third ball carrier of the Thunder in this game.

After analyzing Anthony and Adams, Zhang Feng can already calculate that most of Paul - poor George's shots are squatting in the bottom corner to receive passes, or the offensive time is about to be played and then 'catch the pot' shot.

Obviously, Zhang Feng's speech has caused a certain gap in the relationship between the Thunder Big Three, otherwise Durant, Harden, Anthony, Paul, and Fisher would not have jumped out to collectively criticize Zhang Feng for the first time.

Why these four people? Zhang Feng thought about it carefully, and almost all of them had a common relationship.

Durant, Harden, Wei Shao, needless to say about the three Thunder Shao back then, although after Durant left Golden State, he had very little communication with Wei Shao, but after all, he still has feelings for Wei Shao, the Thunder, and Oklama, and it is understandable to stand up and help at such a critical moment.

Secondly, Harden, before the MVP battle last season, he and Wei Shao had a good relationship, although the outside world has all kinds of speculations about the relationship between the two, but after all, they are still good brothers who have played in the Finals together, and there is nothing wrong with helping them.

After the analysis, Zhang Feng told Mason his conclusion, thinking that he would be approved by Mason, but Mason shook his head and said: "I think there is something wrong with your analysis, the starting point of Durant and Harden is definitely not what you said."

Mason used to say what Zhang Feng said, and he echoed it, but now he actually put forward his own opinion, and Zhang Feng suddenly became interested, "Oh? So what exactly is the reason? ”。

"I don't think they want to see George join us, because we are the first in the West, very strong, and experts from all walks of life have also analyzed that our biggest weakness is that we can't cope with superstar singles, but if George joins, this problem will be greatly improved, so that we will definitely pose a very big threat to the Kings and Warriors, even if we can't beat them in the playoffs, it will cause them serious attrition, in case it causes them to lose troops, then they will lose a lot."

At first, when he heard Mason's inference, Zhang Feng still wanted to laugh, but the more Mason said it, the more he felt that it made sense, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but shudder a little.

This season, kawaii's return has not been as good as it has been, and the Spurs are nowhere near as strong as in previous seasons, so the Warriors have nothing to worry about. The Rockets have become stronger because of Paul's addition, which has given the Warriors a headache, but the wood is already in the boat, and the Warriors have nothing to do, but the matter of Paul George joining the Kings has not yet been determined, and the Warriors can operate in many ways to organize this thing to happen, after all, according to the current regular season rankings, the Kings and the Warriors are very likely to meet in the second round of the playoffs.

As for Harden and the Rockets, they probably have the same idea as the Warriors, one more enemy is better than one less enemy, anyway, it doesn't cost to speak out, and it doesn't cost to stop the trade, and if you don't stop it, you won't lose.

But even so, Zhang Feng was still a little skeptical, "It's not as serious as you think, right?" Are you too conspiracy theorist? ”。

"You still don't understand American society, you don't understand the NBA power, let me give you an example, remember the Lakers in '08 who traded the Grizzlies for Pau Gasol with Mark Gasol's signing rights?"

"Such an important transaction, of course I remember, what do you want to say?"

"Before the Lakers reached a deal, there was no news in the market, and after the deal, many coaches and owners were angry, especially Popovich, a person known for his generosity and love to joke, actually directly called the Lakers' trade a robbery"

"I see what you mean," Zhang Feng nodded.

"If '08 is too far away, then you should know that SPaul was almost traded to the Lakers in the first place, right? It's just that Twitter wasn't popular at that time, otherwise it would be the same as today."

Mason is talking about 11 years, when Paul and the Hornets were about to expire, and the Hornets happened to lose their owner, and the Lakers took the opportunity to take out Gasol, Odom and others, and pulled the Rockets and the Hornets for a three-way trade. After the trade, the Lakers can get Paul, and the chances of building a dynasty are greatly increased.

But within 24 hours, Stern published the famous 'Basketball Reason' to block the trade, and the fans did not understand it, and the Lakers fans even scolded their mother. It was long after that incident that news broke that it was the NBA Owners League, led by Cavaliers owner Gilbert, who didn't want to see the Lakers build a dynasty again.

The real reason why Harden and Durant came out to criticize Wei Shao may really be as Mason guessed.

Seeing Zhang Feng fall silent, Mason smiled proudly, "How is it?" Does my analysis make sense? ”

"The reason why Anthony stood up is very simple, don't think about it, but is Fisher because he has worked with Wei Shao and Anthony?"

Fisher played for the Thunder in the latter part of his career, and after his playing career, he served as the head coach of the New York Knicks for a period of time, so Zhang Feng had this guess.

"I'm the same as you think, Fisher is a person, where there is interest, he will drill wherever he wants, he was loyal to the Lakers when he was strong, and then O'Neal went east to the Heat, the Lakers entered a rebuilding period, Phil Jackson left, he joined the Warriors, Jazz, and when the Lakers rose again in the 07–08 season, he returned to the Lakers, and then he joined the Thunder, but that year's championship was the Mavericks......"

Without waiting for Mason to finish speaking, Zhang Feng took over the topic, "But later I saw that Cuban was unwilling to pay, and the depth of the Mavericks' lineup was greatly reduced, so he found an excuse to take care of his daughter and left the Mavericks, but after finding out that the Thunder was strong, he immediately came back to join the Thunder?" ”

"Yes, that's what you said. Besides, he is a person who even touches the wives of his teammates, where his character can be high, he will naturally drill wherever there is good, I don't know if you have noticed, he is the last person to speak in this wave of criticism, it is very likely that he tweeted after seeing Durant, Harden, and Paul all stand up, otherwise where would he care about such a thing"

"Interesting, anyway, I haven't seen what these people said."

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and respond! ”

took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and the first thing Zhang Feng saw was Durant.

"I'm a Warriors player now, and it is said that the Thunder and Kings have nothing to do with me, and Zhang Feng has also helped the Warriors, helped Curry heal his injury, and helped Coach Kerr heal his back, but as an NBA player, I should use it to point out that Zhang Feng did something wrong in this matter, and he violated the league's rules for recruiting players."

seems to be objective, first deliberately put aside the identity, and then set the tone for the criticism later by emphasizing that Zhang Feng had helped the Warriors, but in the end, he pulled out the identity of an 'NBA player' to accuse, and it is not too much to say that it is a cover-up and stealing the bell.

Durant was followed by Harden, who retweeted Durant's tweet and wrote: "Zhang Feng, probably the strongest rookie in NBA history, may be stronger than Jordan, he deserves enough preferential treatment from the league, but in the matter of illegal solicitation, his behavior violates the bottom line and should not be allowed"

It can't be seen that Harden usually doesn't show his dew, but when it comes to the critical moment, the black man is also a set, he arouses the disgust of fans Zhang Feng by 'praising and killing', and finally puts forward the theory of punishment - Zhang Feng is above the league.

Paul and Anthony were more objective, both of them directly expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhang Feng's illegal solicitation, saying that Zhang Feng's news broke the rules of the alliance, and the official should launch an investigation.

Among the five, only Fisher's remarks were more ruthless, he wrote: "Zhang Feng may be a Chinese, like his predecessor Yao Ming, enjoying too much special treatment in the NBA, plus after he entered the league, he was continuously favored by Kobe Bryant and LeBron O'Neal, so it was a little inflated, or Jordan's praise for him not long ago made him feel that he could do whatever he wanted"

These words seem to have no practical content, but they are very vicious, first emphasizing Zhang Feng's identity as a Chinese, separating Zhang Feng from American fans, and then blocking Zhang Feng's possible helpers in the league, he said this, Kobe and LeBron should not join this melee, Zhang Feng is directly isolated.

And the current situation is just as Fisher premeditated, 5 people have been criticizing Zhang Feng on Twitter for an hour, if it were in the past, not to mention Kobe Bryant and LeBron, O'Neal would have stood up to support Zhang Feng a long time ago, after all, he is still the king's small boss, and he should support Zhang Feng in public and private.

But now no one in the league has made any remarks in support of Zhang Feng, and his latest tweet is full of 'condemnation' from Thunder fans, Warriors fans, and Rockets fans.

"You should be in a hurry now, right?" Seeing Zhang Feng's brows furrowed, Mason gloated a little.

"I'm in a hurry, don't you think this is someone supporting me?" Zhang Feng smiled lightly.

"Who? So bold? Mason hurriedly opened the Twitter refresh, and 2 seconds later, he shouted:

"I'll go, eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence, I said you two are okay?"

Zhang Feng ignored Mason's scarety question, but carefully thought about how to respond, he really didn't expect that the first third-party person to stand up in solidarity with him was actually the eldest cousin outside the alliance circle.

She tweeted: "Is it fun for you guys to bully someone? Are you panicking? Can't see other people's good, right? @保罗 – George, join the King, I'll introduce you to a girlfriend, Hollywood girl, you know! ”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Feng began to type text on Twitter:

"Don't seem to be convinced? If you don't accept it, hold it back for me, or I'll blow you up on the field! ”
