Heading into December, the Bulls finally lost.After beating the Celtics on the road and winning 12 in a row, they lost to the Pistons on the road.The Pistons are recognized as the powerhouse of the East, not only with a strong lineup, but also at the home of the famous Devils, and the fans are particularly loud.Anyone who visits Auburn Hill as an away team will have more than an order of magnitude higher than a decibel level of sound around them, and the fans behind the bench will help the home team by crushing the opponent with a wave of noise throughout the game.The players can only listen to the shouts of the fans, there is nowhere to hide, sometimes even out of control, and the noise can be distracting.Of course, players want to be good on the pitch, but in such an environment it often backfires and many people can't stand it.When Wang Jun came here to play the playoffs on behalf of the Nets, he inevitably accepted the hostile provocations of the fans again and again.This time on behalf of the Bulls, he heard the whole audience booing as soon as he played, as if the fans would rush off the court at any time to beat him.Pistons fans hate Wang Jun, and there is an argument that the Lakers collapsed on their own in the Finals, and if the Pistons break through in the East, they can easily win the championship.Wang Jun broke their dream of winning the championship, and this revenge was too great.In this game, the Pistons played a terrifying defense, and Wang Jun only scored 22 points.8-of-25 shooting, 2-of-8 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.There were vacancies in other positions, and the Pistons players could also make up for it by quick rotation transitions, and the score was deadlocked until the final quarter, and the rest of the Bulls couldn't stand up and score at critical moments, and Wang Jun hit four consecutive irons and lost the game.After a day off, the Bulls lost at home to the Dallas Mavericks.The Mavericks have always been a bitter opponent for Wang Jun, and since joining the NBA, his team has not been able to defend Nowitzki on the inside.This David Lee played against Nowitzki and was easily beaten.Chandler also struggled defensively, as Nowitzki was simply an outside player.Pull out and shoot.As soon as Chandler defends it, it only takes one block and dismantle, and the inside line is unprotected.The Mavericks aren't weak on the outside, and Terry is a twitch, and the three-point draw is terrible.Harris is incredibly fast.Good at passing people in one step.The Mavericks' lineup doesn't look strong this year.It's far worse than the five-man duo in 20032004 season.But they have a reasonable configuration and a clear division of labor, which is similar to that of bulls.The offense is mostly defended by Terry, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, and others.In the summer, the Mavericks brought in outside blue-collar Adrian Griffin from the Bulls, and the No. 2 position often starts and is responsible for defense, picking up leaks on the offensive end, waiting for an opportunity to shoot.Howard is also a good defender.This season has improved significantly on both offensive and defensive ends.Benches with Stackhouse, Devin Harris, Daniels, and Van Horn are responsible for stealing points.There's also Diop, a strong interior blue-collar who is in charge of defense.Regardless of whether it is the starter or the bench, it is very clear who the Mavericks will be the meat shield and who will attack with the ball.Wang Jun played 43 minutes, shooting 12-of-28, 4-of-12 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, scoring 30 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Luoer Deng had 26 points and 7 rebounds.The Bulls still lost by 11 points, and the interior line was completely blown up.After two consecutive defeats.A number of sports media in the United States immediately started a new round of written criticism of Wang Jun."
Wang Jun can't stand up when the team needs him to score high points, he just brushes up points when he plays weak teams.""
In two consecutive games, Wang Jun's shooting was inaccurate at the critical moment in the final quarter, and his performance in the final quarter was not as good as the first three quarters."
On the Internet, American fans posted "anti-Wang", listing data, trying to prove that Wang Jun is inferior to Kobe, Iverson, Arenas, James and others.The important evidence cited by fans is that Wang Jun did not score much in the fourth quarter, far inferior to several other players at the top of the scoring list.However, Wang Jun played much less time in the fourth quarter than those few, and the players on the weak team always played until the last minute.Whenever the American media turned their guns on Wang Jun and gloated that he had played a certain game that he did not play well, but did not mention the good game he played, Wang Jun would feel racist in this country.This is unavoidable, and racial discrimination in the NBA has a long history.This discrimination has persisted since the first black player, Earloyd, appeared on the NBA court.On Halloween in 1950, Lloyd was about to make his debut in the NBA, which caused a strong reaction at the time.Before the start of the game, he was told that the 3K Party would bring the rope to the game.In the end, though, there were no surprises.Since then, the issue of racial discrimination has not disappeared in the league, and Mutombo has been involved in an argument over racist insults made to him by fans in the stadium.Mutombo later said that he did not provoke the fans, but that his personality, nationality and race were insulted.In recent years, many black players have even argued that the league's "dress code" is also intended to target black people's dress habits and is a manifestation of racial discrimination.Asians are also discriminated against in the United States, and if they are just ordinary stars, like Yao Ming, the media will praise him as a way to attract the attention of Chinese fans and use him to increase the commercial value of the NBA.With the emergence of a player like Wang Jun, the tone of the media has become unanimous.Because Wang Jun's performance was "too much".Overdoing it, he looks as if he is going to trample all the local NBA players under his feet.As long as he can make money, President Stern has nothing to say, nor does he ask the referee to blow Wang Jun strictly, trying to suppress him with a black whistle, but the media does not want to see Wang Jun rule the league.After flying to Orlando, Wang Jun received a call from his agent, Ryan Hughes.Hughes reminded: "Wang, in the next interview, you don't say that you want to win the championship or compete for the scoring title, if you don't say this, the media won't find fault with you like this, it's not normal." ”Wang Jun smiled slightly."
So if I go down and the team doesn't win, will the media say that I'm being convinced and can't be arrogant" Hughes immediately thought that there was indeed such a possibility, as long as the media wanted to target a person, white can also be said to be black."
Anyway, I want you to try to get on good terms with the media.There has never been an international player in NBA history who has the same style as you, so I can't find an example to analyze what will happen next, so pay more attention. ”Hughes could only persuade, but could not order Wang Jun to do things."
As long as I can lead the team to win, it's not them who can decide what the media can do with me."
Wang Jun said disdainfully: "I'm going out to eat, and my new teammates said they want to treat me to thank me." ”"That Hayes you recommended" "Hmm.He's now approved by the coaching staff and he's played well every game.I don't think the experience of veterans is accurate every time.If he goes to the Nets to find a job, no player will introduce him, so he has to go elsewhere, and I can say a few more words and do a good thing for the team. ”Wang Jun is very proud, and he has a sense of accomplishment in knowing gold."
It's your luck that a powerful person has come, don't meddle in the future."
Hughes sighed: "Hang up, if there is anything you can't get accurate, remember to inform me if it's not easy to make a decision, and I can help you with some ideas." ”"Thank you."
Hanging up the phone, Hughes felt that all these words had been said in vain.Wang Jun likes to make his own decisions and is not afraid of saying the wrong thing.If he wasn't this kind of character, he wouldn't be as strong as he is today, he was too confident.s:
