Despite Zeng Xingyang leading his team to victory, the attacks on his rumored relationships and personal life never ceased.
Many media outlets nitpicked, especially those from cities where teams are contenders against the Nuggets.
"Zeng, will you still go out before important games in the future?"
"Zeng, it's said you have over 20 female companions across Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America, aged between 18 and 35. Is this true?"
"Will you still hang out with female companions before the game against the Warriors?"
Many interviews were obviously trying to set traps, attempting to get controversial statements from Zeng Xingyang.
As long as Zeng Xingyang responded, they could quickly make a story out of any comment.
Even if it meant misquoting or quoting out of context, they didn't care.
Due to Zeng Xingyang's immense fame, some veterans also made jokes about him.
O'Neal joked on a show, "I see racial equality in Zeng. He treats girls of all colors equally, very friendly."
