With Zhang Feng's traffic support, the Blazers' marketing department was happy last season and made a lot of money.

Zhang Feng's outstanding performance in his rookie season and his stable and outstanding performance in the Trail Blazers brought a lot of attention from China to the Trail Blazers.

Although personal consumption in mainland China cannot reach the same level of income as in the U.S. market, there are so many people in China that the average is not enough. To put it together, even if one person buys a jersey, a ball cap, or the most expensive

Cheap hair ties or bracelets can add up to a lot, bringing continuous overseas income to the pioneers.

Moreover, there are also sponsorship fees from a large number of sponsors in China. When Zhang Feng was performing steadily in the team, he lined up to "send money" to the Trail Blazers and watched the team's revenue keep rising.

For the Blazers boss, it was finally time to "turn over and sing as a serf."

If it weren't for the fact that the Trail Blazers themselves don't have enough foundation and not enough reputation and strength to attract powerful players, the Blazers boss would very much want to pay the luxury tax this year to attract stronger players to join the team, achieve better results, and even shout out

The slogan of "Trail Blazers Championship".

However, it seems that with the reputation of the Blazers and the geographical location of Portland, if they want to attract more capable players, they still need the Blazers to play better and show stronger performance this season.

combat power to attract free agents who want to compete for honors.

NBA preseason games are actually a show before the official game starts.

Although it has the significance of inspecting the team, it is more of a commercial activity.

Before the start of the game, the Blazers did not train more, but participated in various business activities of the organizer.

Among them, Zhang Feng is of course the brightest star.

After all, it is the pride of the Chinese people. Although it may not be as influential as Kobe and James, Zhang Feng can still easily defeat All-star players like Lillard and Aldridge domestically.

This kind of collective business activity, as well as the signature tasks that must be completed, made Zhang Feng really weak in signing signatures.

"It would have been nice if my mother had given me a name like 'Zhang Yi', and it would have been easier to sign my name."

Even though he had long been accustomed to the elegant continuous-stroke signature method, the word 'Zhang Feng' still had too many strokes. Zhang Feng felt that his hands were sore from signing, but he still had to persist until the prescribed time.

In fact, Zhang Feng could have signed slowly. After all, the organizer only asked for time, not the number of signatures. However, Zhang Feng believed that since these fans come from all over the world, signing a few more in the limited time would be regarded as a right.

A gift from the fans.

For many players, including Zhang Feng, the continuous business activities feel more tiring than playing on the court.

On the third day after flying to China, the first game of the NBA China Game kicked off at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai.

In this China game in Shanghai, the pride of Shanghai, Yao Yao, came to kick off the game.

Two generations of outstanding Chinese centers stood in the center of the court, causing many Chinese fans to take photos one after another.

In fact, on his first day in Shanghai, Zhang Feng invited Dayao's family to have a meal together in his private time to express his gratitude to Dayao.

After all, the trainers and nutritionists recommended by Dayao solved Zhang Feng's worries and allowed Zhang Feng to improve greatly during this offseason.

After establishing personal relationships, Dayao also used the basketball team as a link to inquire about Zhang Feng's plans to serve the country.

Zhang Feng was naturally obligated to do this. After all, the reason why Yao had such great influence in the country was also related to his hard work fighting for the country.

After a serious injury in 2008, Dayao's first words after the injury were "Can I go to the Olympics?" This moved countless domestic fans.

For Zhang Feng, Dayao, a senior, is a benchmark on his way forward. All he has to do is continue Dayao's path and continue to climb to the highest peak, whether in the NBA or in the international arena.

In this China game, the Trail Blazers' opponent is the Nets.

Since the Nets moved to New York and changed their name to the Brooklyn Nets, they have continued to collect stars to increase their popularity.

And this "Galaxy", which has entered the "maintenance period", is really well-known to Chinese fans, at least in terms of the team's reputation.

As the promotion of the NBA in China, the Nets still attach great importance to the first game. The starting lineup is definitely their main lineup for the new season.

The 15-time All-Star "Wolf King" Garnett, the 7-time All-Star "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, and the 3-time All-Star Deron Williams are paired with center Lopez and guards.

Bojan Bodanovic in position.

Although the core players are all getting older and their strength has declined, with this lineup, it should still be possible to "get" a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Not only do they rely on star players to enhance their reputation, but they also have a certain performance guarantee. For the Nets, they want to eat away at the New York Knicks' market share bit by bit in the big city of New York.

For this Chinese game, both teams are playing with their full strength, but naturally they will not play it as a regular game.

During preseason games, almost all players will play for 20 to 30 minutes to ensure that the "show" can satisfy the audience without placing too much burden on the players.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Feng, as the "host", opened the scoring for the Trail Blazers with a three-pointer from the outside.

Although he really wants to show off his skills in the interior, Zhang Feng, who can only play 50-50 with Lopez Jr., is still not so sure when facing Lopez, who has stronger defensive ability on the court.

of.

But Lopez is slow enough, as I knew when I watched Yi Di's game, so shooting him directly from the outside is the best option.

There was not much defensive pressure in the preseason. This easy three-pointer was a good start for Zhang Feng for the Blazers in this game in China.

Zhang Feng's opening goal naturally attracted cheers from the audience. Seeing Zhang Feng's performance on the court getting better and better, and his status in the Trail Blazers getting higher and higher, it was of course very satisfying for the fans.

Something to be happy about.

The Nets' first offense was, of course, given to Kevin Garnett.

Although he is not as brave as he was back then, as the Nets' biggest player at this time, Garnett will of course be allowed to perform more in this "show", and of course Aldridge will also be able to perform more when defending.

It's very cooperative.

Garnett caught the ball and made a "strong break", then made an emergency stop and took a high jump shot.

The arc of the ball was very high and it hit the ball steadily. This was the beginning of the game. If this was the fourth quarter and Garnett, who hit the ball, would beat his chest to celebrate, then it would really feel like that.
