After fighting the Warriors, Wang Jun immediately flew to Washington and couldn't celebrate New Year's Day with his family. ※%

He didn't let Le Ying go to the scene to watch the football. It would be bad for her health.

When he got on a special plane, front-row veteran Robert Parker and Jefferson chatted, complaining about how painful it was to fly away when he was young, and now the players enjoy it.

With the promotion and popularity of NBA, players are in trouble when riding on ordinary business planes. Giants are compromising in the cramped space, and at the airport they have to deal with the bombardment of the media and the left and right attacks of fans and fans at the left and right.

In order to provide players with safe and comfortable travel services, NBA launched a charter plan. The league signed a seven-year contract with General Electric in the 1997-98 season, with Northwest Airlines providing the aircraft. During the season, the Boeing 727, which can accommodate 160 passengers, will be converted into a luxury charter flight with only 56 seats.

In the first year of trial, seven teams, Lakers, Clippers, Spurs, Pacers, Rockets, Nuggets and Warriors, joined the charter program, and increased to 13 teams in the 2000-01 season. The plan also provides emergency services to teams with chartered flights.

By this season, all teams have chartered flights, and it is no longer a difficult task to fly away. From this perspective, Wang Jun is lucky.

Korver sat next to Wang Jun.

The team arranged this way to let the two young newcomers communicate more. When they first reported, they were competitors and were worried that there would be conflicts if there were fewer communications. The management was too concerned, and Korver was a gentle person, so he would not have conflicts with others.

After taking off, Korver asked, "Hi, Wang. I heard that your sister is here in the United States."

"Man, you're so informed."

"You have a Chinese fan club online. There is also a website that will update your news. The moderator is called 'Legendary Ghost', don't you know?" Korver looked like he was hit.

"I rarely go online, I will pay attention to it when I go back." Wang Jun said relaxedly.

"I really envy you for having so many fans." Korver sighed.

"You are not bad either. Are there two people in the airport asking you for autographs?"

"Well, but they called me Ashton? Cooche..."

This is really a sad thing.

Wang Jun held back his laughter and patted Korver on the shoulder to show comfort.

The Wizards won 8 wins and 21 losses, which is recognized as a weak team in the Eastern Conference, but the Nets won this game without any ease. With Kitels' three-pointer and Jefferson's free throw, they narrowly won 91-87.

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

Wang Jun faces Jarvis Hayes, the tenth-place rookie in the first round this year.

Because Starkhouse was absent from knee surgery, Jarvis got a lot of opportunities, but he hit the rookie wall one month after the start of the game. He performed poorly on the offensive end and felt a little sorry for his pick.

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

Jarvis was entangled with Wang Jun throughout the game, and the restrictions on Martin were also good after being misaligned. He was 203cm tall and weighed 103kg and was very good at speed and strength.

Jeffries, the Wizards No. 4, is very thin and has a fast speed in defense switching. It is also the type that Wang Jun hates.

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

Fortunately, Jefferson was against Larry Hughes, who weighed only 84 kilograms, and was in a rage. He scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and was the number one hero in winning.

After the game, the news said that Wang Jun hit the "rookie wall" and started against the Pacers. He scored less than 15 points in four consecutive games, and his shooting percentage also dropped.

The term "rookie wall" is used in the top European and American sports leagues to describe the situation in which athletes encounter various discomforts and are not in their state during the first two rookie seasons when they transform from an amateur player to a professional player.

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 because the rookies compete in college, the NBA games are too dense, and the physical strength cannot keep up. Wang Jun's physical strength is fine, and his poor performance is because he is strictly guarded.

As long as the 2003 rookie faces him, he will play harder than before. He is not convinced that this second-round pick will steal too much attention.

After playing against the Wizards, the Nets flew to Philadelphia and challenged 76ers.

As one of the oldest teams in the league, countless first-tier superstars with their own unique characteristics have emerged in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers, including as many as 9 members of the Hall of Fame.

Today, the 76ers are still very popular because their core is Allen Iverson, nicknamed "Answer"!

In 1996, the Golden Generation, Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen, Walker, Kobe, Stojakovic, Nash, O'Neal Jr., and other stars shine.

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

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

Iverson was successful on the field, but he was in trouble off the field.

For example, he once threw his wife out of the door, and then thought his wife might have hid in her cousin's apartment and shot her, but was arrested by the police. This was even more bloody than the movies made by the Lanzi Gang.

Iverson started working with famous coach Larry Brown in the second season of his career. The 76ers' record began to rebound and entered the playoffs in the 98-99 season. But next season, Brown and Iverson began to have conflicts.

Brown was dissatisfied with Iverson's solitary relationship and often criticized him.

In the 00-01 season, Iverson and the 76ers both reached the top. He became the scoring leader again 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 tactic unable to be played. The two kept quarreling fiercely over this, and Iverson also used bad behaviors such as deliberately absent from training and drinking all night without returning.

The most classic thing is that Iverson talked about "training" 20 times during an interview, and angrily criticized the reporter for not understanding basketball. This frequency impressed people so much that the touching part of his expression was forgotten and became a joke.

In addition to having conflicts with the coach, Iverson's unique personality and strong control over the team always make people who play with him feel pressured.

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

At the end of May, Brown, the old man finally chose to leave because he couldn't fight Iverson and served as the head coach of the Pistons.

General Manager Billy King also serves as the team's president, and rookie coach Randy Els takes charge of the coach.

This season, the 76ers introduced former No. 1 pick Glen Robinson from the Hawks and Kenny Thomas from the Rockets trade. They looked unlimited potential, but their record has become worse. They have only achieved a record of 15 wins and 18 losses.

The Nets' goal is to win nine consecutive victories, while Wang Jun's goal is to break through the rookie wall.
