After beating the Warriors, Wang Jun was about to fly to Washington immediately, and he couldn't spend New Year's Day with his family.He didn't let Le Ying go to the scene to watch the game, the environment was too noisy and not good for his health.On the plane, front-row veteran Robert Pike chatted with Jefferson, complaining about how painful it was to fly away when he was young, and how much the players enjoy it now.With the promotion and popularity of the NBA, players are in trouble when they fly on ordinary business jets, giants are trying to compromise in cramped spaces, and they have to deal with the bombardment of the media and the left and right attacks of fans at the airport.In order to provide safe and comfortable travel services for players, the NBA started a charter program, and the league signed a seven-year contract with General Electric 199798 the season, with Northwest Airlines providing the aircraft, and during the season, the Boeing 727 with a capacity of 160 passengers was converted into a luxury charter aircraft with only 56 seats.In the first year of the trial, seven teams including the Lakers, Clippers, Spurs, Pacers, Rockets, Nuggets and Warriors joined the charter program, which increased to 13 teams in the 200001 season, and the program also provides emergency services for teams with charter flights.This season, all teams have chartered flights, and flying away from home is no longer a hard task.In this respect, Wang Jun is lucky.Next to Wang Jun sat Korver.The team arranged this way in order to allow the two young newcomers to communicate more, and they were competitors when they first reported, and they were worried that there would be conflicts if there was less communication.The management is too worried, and Korver is a person with a gentle personality, so he will not have conflicts with people.After takeoff, Korver asked, "Hey, Wang, I heard that your sister is coming to the United States." ”"Man, you're so well informed.""
You have a Chinese fan group on the Internet, and there is a website that will update your news.The moderator is called the legendary ghost, don't you know" Korver looked like he had been hit."
I don't use the Internet very much, so I'll pay attention when I get back."
Wang Jun said lightly."
I really envy you for having so many fans."
Korver sighed."
You're not bad, aren't there two people at the airport looking for an autograph" "Well, but they call me Ashton Coetzee" It's really sad to hit the face.Wang Jun couldn't help but laugh.He patted Korver on the shoulder.for comfort.The Wizards are 8-21 and are recognized as the underdogs in the East, but the Nets did not win easily, relying on Kittels' three-pointers and Jefferson's free throws, narrowly winning 91-87.The Wizards are lacklustre offensively, but not bad defensively.Wang Jun is facing off against rookie Jarvis Hayes, who finished tenth in the first round this year.With Stackhouse sidelined with knee surgery, Jarvis has been given a lot of opportunities.However, he hit the rookie wall in the first month of the tournament.The offensive end was terrible, and some of them couldn't get their own pick.His adjustment was to focus on the defensive end, which was very aggressive.Jarvis pestered Wang Jun throughout the game, and the restrictions on Martin after the mismatch were also good.Weighing 103 kilograms, he is outstanding in speed and strength.Jeffries at the Wizards' No. 4 position is very thin and quick to change defenses, which is also the type that Wang Jun hates.Wang Jun's breakthrough is limited, and Jarvis is competing on the periphery.He had only 7 points and 8 rebounds and no assists.Fortunately.Jefferson was furious against Larry Hughes, who weighed only 84 kilograms, and scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and was the number one contributor to the win.After the game, the news said that Wang Jun hit the "rookie wall", starting with the Pacers, he did not score 15 points in four consecutive games, and his shooting percentage also dropped.The term "rookie wall" is used in the top sports leagues in Europe and the United States to describe the various discomforts and out-of-form situations encountered by athletes in their first two rookie seasons when they transition from amateur to professional.The "rookie wall" usually arrives around Christmas, and Wang Jun seems to fit this law very well.In fact, the rookie wall is mainly caused by the fact that the rookies play less in college, the NBA games are too intensive, and the physical strength cannot keep up.Wang Jun's physical strength is fine, and his poor performance is due to being strictly guarded.As long as the rookie of the class of 2003 plays against him, he will play harder than before, and he is not convinced that his second-round show has stolen too much limelight.After playing the Wizards, the Nets flew to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers.As one of the oldest teams in the league, the Philadelphia 76ers have produced countless first-line superstars with different characteristics in history, including as many as nine Hall of Famers.Today, the 76ers still have super popularity, because their core is the 1996 golden generation of Allen Iverson, nicknamed "The Answer", with Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen, Walker, Kobe, Stojakovic, Nash, O'Neal Jr. and other stars shining.Iverson was the shortest of those players, and the 76ers opted out of Camby in the draft, making him the shortest overall pick in NBA history.In the first game of his career against the Bucks, Iverson scored 30 points on 12-of-19 shooting, as well as six assists and one steal, which silenced many critics at the time.He scored 1,787 points in his rookie season, setting a record for the highest scoring by a rookie and becoming the centerpiece of the 76ers.And he scored more than 40 points in five straight games in April, setting a record for the best of an NBA rookie.Iverson has had success on the field, but he has been in trouble off the court.For example, he once threw his wife naked out of the gate, and then thought that her might be hiding in his cousin's apartment, and shot her, only to be arrested by the police.This is even more bloody than the movie made by the Rotten Boy Gang.Iverson began working with coach Larry Brown in the second season of his career, and the 76ers' record began to recover, and they made the playoffs in the 9899 season.But next season, Brown and Iverson began to fall apart.Brown was unhappy with Iverson's solitary behavior and often criticized him.In the 0001 season, Iverson and the 76ers both reached the top, and he became the scoring champion again with an average of 311 points per game, won the regular season V, led the team to the Eastern Conference championship with 56 wins and 28 losses, and reached the Finals.However, Brown has a growing opinion of Iverson, who he believes is a one-man effort that makes the overall game unplayable.The two continued to quarrel fiercely over this, and Iverson also hit back at Brown with misdeeds such as deliberately missing training and staying up all night drinking.The most classic thing is that Iverson said "training" 20 times in the course of an interview, angrily accusing reporters of not knowing basketball, and this frequency is so impressive that the touching part of his statement has been forgotten and has become a joke.In addition to falling out with his coach, Iverson's maverick personality and super control of the team make the people who play with him feel pressure all the time.Last season, the 76ers made it through the first round of the playoffs, losing seven games to the Celtics in the second round and failing to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.At the end of May, the elder Brown finally chose to leave because he couldn't fight Iverson and became the head coach of the Pistons.General manager Billy King is also the team's president, and rookie coach Randy Els is at the helm.This season, the 76ers brought in former No. 1 pick Glenn Robinson from the Hawks and traded Kenny Thomas from the Rockets, and it looks like it has a lot of potential, but its record has deteriorated, and it is currently only 15-18.The Nets' goal is to win nine in a row, and Wang's goal is to break through the rookie wall.He'll have to put up nice stats to shut up the media, even if it's likely to be against Robinson "The Big Dog
