The final question was about Zhang Hao!
This meant different things to different people.
Barkley, during his media interview, spoke the truth. He felt he was holding onto a big leg; it was obvious at a glance whose leg was thicker between Zhang Hao and O'Neal, and he didn't care at all who the team planned to support.
When Kenny Anderson arrived in Los Angeles, he knew how much the Magician appreciated Zhang Hao, and now he had much to worry about... Zhang Hao's competitor was O'Neal! Only players who have played in the East can truly understand how strong O'Neal is.
Others remained silent, including veterans like Byron Scott and Jerome Kersey, who stayed silent.
For most role players, they understood the Magician was expressing support for Zhang Hao. This wouldn't affect them; their silence was because the battle mode was already initiated even before training camp had started, and they were at a loss for words, unsure of what to say or not daring to say anything.
