He also didn't let Le Ying go to watch the game, the environment is too noisy and it's not good for health.

On the special plane, front-row veteran Robert Parker chatted with Jefferson, complaining about how painful it was when he was young to fly away from home, but now the players enjoy it more.

With the promotion and popularity of the nba, players have a lot of troubles when flying ordinary commercial planes. The giants have to compromise in the cramped space, 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 players with safe and comfortable travel services, the NBA launched a charter flight plan. In the 1997-98 season, the league signed a seven-year contract with General Electric. Northwest Airlines will provide the aircraft. During the season, it will be able to accommodate 160 passengers. Boeing 727 modification Into a luxury charter plane with only 56 seats.

By this season, all the teams have chartered flights, and it is no longer a difficult thing to fly away from home. From this point of view, Wang Jun is lucky.

♀, Sitting next to Wang Jun is Korver.

The team arranged this way to allow the two young rookies to communicate more. They were competitors when the report was first reported, and they were worried that there would be conflicts if there was less communication. The management is too worried. Korver is a gentle person, so he won't have conflicts with others.

After takeoff, Korver asked, "Hi, Wang. I heard your sister is coming to America."

"Dude, you're well-informed."

"You have a Chinese fan group on the Internet. There is also a website, which will update your news. The moderator is called 'Legendary Ghost', don't you know?" Korver looked shocked.

"I seldom go online, and I will pay attention when I get back." Wang Jun said relaxedly.

"I really envy you have so many fans." Korver sighed.

"You're not bad either. Didn't two people ask for your autograph at the airport?"

"Well, but they call me Ashton Coetzee..."

This is really sad.

Wang Jun held back a smile,

He patted Korver on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

The Wizards have 8 wins and 21 losses, and are recognized as the underdogs in the Eastern Conference. The Nets won this game but it was not easy. Relying on Kittles' three-pointer and Jefferson's free throw, they won 91 to 87.

The Wizards' offense is weak, but their defense is not bad.

Wang Jun faced Jarvis Hayes, the tenth-placed rookie in the first round this year.

Due to the absence of Stackhouse's knee surgery, Jarvis got a lot of opportunities, but he hit the rookie wall in the first month of the game, and his offensive performance was poor, and he was a little sorry for his draft position.

His adjustment method is to focus on the defensive end, and the defense is very active.

Jarvis entangled Wang Jun throughout the game, and the restriction on Martin after the dislocation was also good. height. With a weight of 103 kg, he has outstanding speed and strength.

The Wizards' No. 4 Jeffries is very thin and has a fast switching speed, which is also the type that Wang Jun hates.

Wang Jun's breakthrough was limited, and Jarvis competed on the outside. The audience only scored 7 points and 8 rebounds, without assists.

Fortunately, Jefferson was only 84 kilograms Larry? Hughes went crazy. Scoring 30 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists is the number one contributor to winning.

after the game. The news said that Wang Jun hit the "rookie wall", starting from the game against the Pacers. He failed to score 15 points in four straight games and his shooting percentage dropped.

The term "rookie wall" is used in the top sports leagues in Europe and America to describe the situations in which athletes encounter various discomforts and out-of-state situations during the first two rookie seasons when they turn from amateurs to professionals.

The "Rookie Wall" usually comes around Christmas, and Wang Jun seems to be in line with this law.

In fact, the rookie wall is mainly due to the fact that rookies play less in college, and the NBA games are too intensive, and their physical strength cannot keep up. Wang Jun's physical strength is fine, and his poor performance is due to being strictly guarded against.

As long as the rookies in 2003 face him, they will play harder than before. They don't accept that his second-round pick steals too much limelight.

After playing the Wizards, the Nets flew to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers.

As one of the teams with the longest history in the league, the Philadelphia 76ers have had countless first-line superstars with their own characteristics, including nine Hall of Famers.

Today, the 76ers still have super popularity, because their core is Allen Iverson nicknamed "The Answer"!

In the golden generation in 1996, Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen, Walker, Kobe, Stojakovic, Nash, Jermaine O'Neal and other stars shined.

Iverson is the shortest of these players, and the 76ers gave up Camby in the draft and selected him, making him the shortest No. 1 pick in NBA history.

In the first game of his career against the Bucks, Iverson scored 30 points on 12 of 19 shots, 6 assists and 1 steal, which shut up many critics at the time.

He scored 1,787 points in his rookie season, creating the highest scoring record for a rookie and becoming the well-deserved core of the 76ers. And he scored more than 40 points in five consecutive games in April, creating the best record for an NBA rookie.

While Iverson has been successful on the court, he has been troubled off the court.

For example, he once threw his wife out of the door naked, and then thought that she might be hiding in his cousin's apartment, and shot and killed her, only to be arrested by the police. This is simply worse than a movie made by the gang of bad guys.

Iverson began to cooperate with the famous coach Larry Brown in the second season of his career. The record of the 76ers began to recover, and they broke into the playoffs in the 98-99 season. But the next season, Brown and Iverson began to have conflicts.

Brown is dissatisfied with Iverson's solitude and often criticizes him.

In the 00-01 season, both Iverson and the 76ers reached the peak. He once again became the scoring leader with an average of 31.1 points per game, won the regular season mvp, led the team to win the Eastern Conference championship with 56 wins and 28 losses, and reached the finals .

However, Brown has more and more views on Iverson. He believes that Iverson's solo fight makes the overall tactics unable to play. The two continued to have fierce quarrels over this, and Iverson also responded to Brown with bad behaviors such as deliberately absent from training and drinking all night.

The most classic is that during an interview, Iverson said 20 times of "training" and angrily scolded reporters for not understanding basketball. This frequency is so impressive that the touching part of his expression is forgotten Yes, it became a joke.

In addition to conflicts with the coach, Iverson's maverick personality and super desire to control the team made those who played with him always feel pressure.

Last season, the 76ers broke through the first round of the playoffs, lost to the Celtics in seven games in the second round, and failed to reach the Eastern Conference finals.

At the end of May, the old Brown finally chose to leave because he couldn't beat Iverson, and became the head coach of the Pistons.

General manager Billy King also serves as team president, and rookie coach Randy Els is in charge of coaching.

This season, the 76ers introduced former No. 1 pick Glenn Robinson from the Hawks and Kenny Thomas from the Rockets. It seems that the potential is endless, but the record has deteriorated. Currently, they only have a record of 15 wins and 18 losses.

The goal of the Nets is to win 9 consecutive victories, and Wang Jun's goal is to break through the rookie wall.

He must play beautiful data to shut up the media, even if this game may be against "Big Dog" Robinson. (To be continued.)
