Max's slightly mocking remarks were quickly boycotted by thousands of fans, and ESPN had to temporarily suspend his hosting work.

But Max's remarks did express the doubts in the hearts of fans, that is, it has been almost 4 days since Zhang Feng's injury, why did the Kings official and even Zhang Feng's team not disclose any news to the public? Even if you call experts from all over the world, there is enough time, and it is possible that the injury is too serious to return in the playoffs.

As time passed, the suspicions of the outside world increased, and many media began to try to inquire about Zhang Feng's injury through third-party channels, but Kobe Bryant said that he did not know, and LeBron also claimed that he did not know, and even Divac was blocked by reporters outside the Golden No. 1 Arena, and did not have any useful information.

The top eight in the West have been fully released, and the playoffs are about to start, so in such a special situation, the TNT Tiantuan analysis meeting talked about this matter.

"Maybe that's the mental tactic of the Kings, and they don't want the Spurs to have any psychological advantage. I'm sure the Spurs are in a hurry to discuss a tactical plan right now," Kenny said.

"Agree, Popovich will definitely consider two sets of options, with and without Zhang Feng," Barkley added.

"But if Zhang Feng really can't come back, then the Spurs will be even more excited, I think the Kings are not doing it properly, and the fans are also worried," Reggie Miller shook his head.

"Shaq, Webb, one of you is the king's petty boss, and the other is the king's celebrity, don't you have any news?" Ernie asked.

"I quietly asked Divac about this, but he only told me to reassure me," Webber shook his head helplessly.

"To be honest, I'm not worried about Zhang Feng's injury at all, he is a person who can take responsibility for the fans, since he chose not to announce the injury now, there must be a reason for him" O'Neal said confidently.

"Since you say so, let's say the Kings win against the Spurs, and then the winner of the fourth-place Thunder and the fifth-place Timberwolves, who do you think will win? Let's talk about the Thunder and the Timberwolves first," Ernie asked.

"Of course, I am optimistic about the Thunder, since Brewer joined the Thunder, he has played the role of leading the opposing defender and pulling more space for the Big Three. But against the Timberwolves, as long as Butler is locked, they will have no combat effectiveness at all."

After saying this, O'Neal paused slightly before continuing: "As for the Kings vs. the Thunder, it depends on the state of the first two games, if the first two games can be crushed by the Kings like the regular season, it should be 4-1 or 4-2 to take away the Thunder; But if the Kings can't finish crushing in the first 2 games, it's likely to be 4-3, or even lose to the Thunder."

"It shouldn't be, Shaq, why is he suddenly not optimistic about Zhang Feng?" Barkley laughed dumbly.

"Except for Randolph, Carter, Rose, and Love, the Kings are a group of rookie eggs, with too little playoff experience, and the desire to win is not as strong as the Thunder Triumvirate.

"Who do you fancy about the second Warrior and the seventh Pelican? And the third-place Rockets and the sixth-place Jazz think who will win? Seeing that O'Neill didn't want to continue talking, Ernie directly changed the subject.

While TNT was analyzing the playoff situation, the Kings were conducting high-intensity tactical training at a secret base in Sacramento, and Zhang Feng was among them.

After a few rounds of tactical running, the assistant coach whistled to signal a timeout, except for Zhang Feng and Lefu, the whole team began to gasp.

"Ouch, Coach, is it necessary for us to run tactics with sandbags strapped? Just tie one on each of your left and right feet, and tie your hands and waist as well, this weight-bearing training is too exaggerated, right? Mason sat down and began to complain.

"The high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs is more terrifying than you think, and you guys have no playoff experience except for Love, Randolph and Carter, and the first-round opponent is the battle-hardened Spurs, who have beaten us in previous games, so we have to adapt to the high-intensity physical confrontation in advance," David explained.

"Isn't that Zhang Feng injured? There is a healthy Zhang Feng, they can't beat it at all" Mason was unconvinced.

"There are no weak teams in the NBA, and it is a mistake to underestimate any opponent. Besides, you have to take on the heavy responsibility of the second team's outside attack, can Zhang Feng help you then? What should you do if you are too tired to lift your hands to shoot? ”

David reprimanded, Mason didn't dare to be poor anymore, but he then asked, "Zhang Feng, why did you choose not to disclose your injuries to the public?" The fans are dying."

As soon as Mason asked, all the Kings players turned their heads to look at him proudly, Zhang Feng smiled and said: "I just came here after taking an MRI that day, isn't this learning from LeBron's playoffs and away from the media's closed training?" I didn't bring my mobile phone or anything, and I didn't have time to notify the fans. I'm curious, how do you know the fans are in a hurry? ”。

"I ...... I...... Me, well! I'll admit, I smuggled my phone in, and I had previously browsed Twitter "The more Mason speaks, the quieter his voice becomes, and the lower his head becomes."

"Give the phone to the staff, and practice 20 more full-court switchback runs" David waved his hand and directly punished him, Mason got up and left silently, it seemed that he should have handed over his mobile phone.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a dull mood, and Zhang Feng immediately diverted the topic: "This place should have been opened earlier, and it is perfect to be our training base, with a whirlpool bathtub, a controlled greenhouse, and even a special barber."

"No, 150,000 square feet, bigger than the Lakers' new base, you can spend the night here, the boss is so willing to spend money, it's not for you" Randolph pretended to be jealous, and everyone chuckled.

"Hey, speaking of which, when will you and Anjiali get married? I'm going to play the saxophone then," Carter picked up.

"Hey, I promised to have a wedding when I won the championship, I was a little impulsive" Zhang Feng shook his head embarrassedly.

"Then brother, I have to work harder, in case I don't win the championship because of my mistake, won't it delay your good deeds? You say don't you? Carter looked at the crowd.

"Don't worry, I'm going to help you get this done!" Randolph patted his chest, and everyone laughed.

In the midst of everyone's small talk, Mason returned, and David immediately announced the 12-man roster for the playoffs.

Eventually, Jack Cooley, Yakar Sampson, and Papajanis were on the pending list, while others reported to the NBA department and the Kings playoff roster was officially confirmed.

After getting the roster, the Kings continued to train with weights, training at high intensity for 3 days before starting to rest, and then they ended their closed training state, and Mason pulled Zhang Feng to take a selfie and tweet as soon as he walked out of the new base.

"Sacramento fans, your King is back. Playoffs! Are you ready? ”
