At 5:40 PM at the Charlotte Sports Arena, the visiting Knights team entered the court.
Zhang Yang stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel, watching as the fans on-site sent deafening jeers to the visiting James.
Newspapers, television, the internet... With few media resources on their side, they were being dominated by the opposition.
From his teammates, he felt the helplessness of those who were in the enemy camp of King James, whose media and fan base were too vast, whether responding or not, they couldn't turn the tide of public opinion.
Their voices were drowned out, ridiculously dissed by the opposing fans, and if they didn't respond, they were mocked.
He could view public opinion calmly because he had seen the even more brutal public opinion environments faced by James's opponents, who would become the league's top player in the future.
But then again, what goes around comes around. After James ages, it will be a different world.
