Chapter 35: The Fickle Media

After the game against the New York Knicks, Li Feng's reputation in the American sports world quickly became popular again.

The beautiful double-double he scored again, as well as his super strong perspective and various exciting performances in the game, all made it impossible for the American sports media to cover up. Even teammate Kevin Love also played a counterattack

Even if Tianshuang is 30+, it can't completely block his light.

The American media immediately began to change direction. They no longer continued to criticize or arrange Li Feng. Instead, they reported his real game situation in a satisfactory manner. Then, they spent a relatively large space introducing him and Stoudemire.

That little thing between you and me. As for other subjective comments that slander the news or smear the nature, I won’t say more.

When Li Feng discovered this situation afterwards, he was still a little confused as to what the American media were doing. Later, he was enlightened when chatting with a domestic media reporter.

It turns out that these American media, especially the sports media, understand that they cannot be picky about his outstanding performance. If they continue to force the previous hatred, they will fall into the inferior category and may even be spurned by some fans. So, they stopped for the time being.

, when he was performing hotly, he did not come out and deliberately suppressed and discredited him.

The emergence of this situation is a happy thing for Li Feng at this time. Without too many purely disgusting news that are proud of him all day long, his mentality will be much better when surfing the Internet.

Now that even the American media has expressed normal concern about Li Feng's outstanding performance in several consecutive games, China's major media cannot fall behind. Their news is not only more popular, but also more exaggerated, almost almost

Li Feng became a basketball superstar!

In a short period of time, Li Feng's various previous experiences and personal situations in China were clearly unearthed. Even his first girlfriend when he was in school was dug out and interviewed by the pervasive media.

Suddenly, Li Feng's phone was almost inundated with calls, and most of them were asking him for exclusive interviews or business sponsorships.

Li Feng has never received such exaggerated treatment before, and he feels very uncomfortable. Even after he appeared in the draft and was selected, it was not so lively!

Fortunately, for him, basketball always comes first. When he was bombarded by all kinds of information, he continued to focus on training without paying any attention to it. He directly put the world into practice.

I left the whole matter to my agent and did nothing for the time being, so that I could be as clean as possible.

Fortunately, the Clippers had two consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference, and no one questioned his avoidance.

On this road trip for the Timberwolves, their opponents are the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Bobcats. Although neither team is easy to beat, it is not impossible to win them all.

Head coach Rambis expressed his appreciation for the team's previous consecutive victories, and then hoped that everyone can continue to win in one go and strive to increase the team's winning rate to more than 50%.

The team's current overall record is four wins and six losses, which is still very bad, so if they can win consecutively against these two teams in the Eastern Conference, it will just bring the team's winning rate to 50%.

The entire Timberwolves team members are also extremely excited and very motivated. Facing the road trip in the Eastern Conference, everyone is full of fighting spirit.

Sure enough, with the efforts of the big guys, they first narrowly defeated the Eagles, and then beat the Bobcats by a big margin. They won two games smoothly, and the team's winning streak reached five consecutive victories in an instant. With this performance,

The entire alliance was slightly surprised.

In these two games, although Li Feng is still not the starter, he has almost performed as a starting point guard. He scored a total of 30 points and 20 assists in the two games, which is very amazing!

The only pity is that his highest score in a single game still did not exceed 15 points. Counting the game against the Knicks, he actually scored 15 points in three consecutive games.

But even so, he quickly rose from a backup rookie with no ranking to the third place on the rookie list. If it weren't for Griffin and John Wall, they would have already become the leaders of their respective teams and performed well.

If it gets hot, he might be able to advance a little further.

As a result, the topic about Li Feng became more popular than before, sweeping the entire league and American society for a while. Many people were curious about him, because he was only a second-round pick from China, but he could

To perform as well as only lottery picks and even stars can perform is a miracle in itself.

In China, he is even more popular. In a short period of time, he has almost continuously dethroned Sun Dasheng and Arab League, becoming the second player in domestic basketball. Some people even compare him to Dayao.

Saying that he can pass the ball for Dayao, China finally has a talented defender.

Li Feng knew that he might never have the clean environment he had before, so he had to work hard to learn to adapt to this new life.

And just at this moment, the American media suddenly discovered a good new topic. Next, the Timberwolves will face the Los Angeles Clippers at home again. Griffin, who ranks first on the rookie list, is about to face the

Facing Li Feng, who quickly rose to the top three, what kind of battle should the two of them start?

The American media had a unique vision, and their actions were even more crazy. They quickly started fanning the flames, with amazing efficiency, and heated up the topic in a short period of time.

As a result, this game was described by the American media as a fateful showdown, attracting the attention of countless fans.

They described Griffin as a representative of Americans, a powerful star with an orthodox background; while Li Feng was described as a grassroots player from a foreign land, representing another culture and belief.

So they exaggerated it, saying that this matchup was not only a battle between the best rookies in this period, but also a war between basketball players representing different countries and cultures.

Li Feng once again couldn't laugh or cry about such an encounter that was similar to flattery.

He has never been compared with Griffin before, and he doesn't even know this guy. Moreover, his status in the league was very low before, and it has long been common for him to be maliciously ridiculed and attacked by the American media. Although he also has some

Responsibility, but his status is really not as high as the current American media says.

However, for a certain topic at this time, the American media insisted on describing him and Griffin as if they had a deep hatred, and forcibly elevated his status, adding a mountain of pressure to him.

Although these hateful media really left him speechless, he still couldn't retreat and had to fight hard. Since he was already burdened by others, he had no choice but to win it back. Otherwise, he would be regarded as the domestic fans by then.

The media will not blame him, and those nasty American media will have an excuse to continue to slander him.

After going through this incident, Li Feng finally understood that it was not that the American media had collectively changed their attitude and started to criticize him less, but that they had changed their ways and used more powerful tactics to deal with him.

Mr. Rambis, the head coach of the Timberwolves, probably also sensed the trend of public opinion in the media. In addition, Telfair's performance has never satisfied him. Therefore, after weighing it, he officially announced to Li Feng that in the next game

In the game against Griffin, he will get the chance to start.

Regarding such an unexpected joy, Li Feng naturally felt a little rare excitement emerge from his helplessness.

No one wants to be called a substitute all the time, it feels really awkward. And being able to get the first start in his career definitely means a lot to him.

Therefore, for the game against the Clippers, Li Feng gradually changed from his previous helplessness to one of expectation.;
