Chapter 161 [Alchemy Stone]

On the evening of November 28, Wang Jun went to Sacramento with the team, and everyone was a little tired.

It was a tough away game against the Kings, who are currently at the top of the Western Conference standings, on the 30th.

Then they're going to fly to Salt Lake City and play back-to-back against the Jazz.

Even if the Jazz begin to rebuild, Stockton retires, and Malone arrives with the Lakers, the physical strength of the Nets players is at a significant disadvantage, and it is difficult to get out of the game.

The game against the Kings will be the alchemy of the Nets.

Local media advertised before the game that the Kings were going to end the winning streak of the "undefeated coach". As the youngest head coach, Lawrence Frank is indeed undefeated since taking over the Nets.

The Kings are currently 11-3, a much better record than the Nets, who are 6-9.

They are the traditional powerhouses of the West, and in 2000 they were called "the greatest show on the course". Webb, Divac, Williams, Peja and Christie left an indelible impression on the fans.

In the 2000-2001 season, Chris Webb was ranked fourth in the MVP of the Year selection. If he hadn't played 70 games, his 27+11+4 stats might have won the MVP.

Stojakovic came in second on the poll for the most improved players.

Doug Christie was named to the NBA's All-Defensive Second Team with a league-leading 183 steals and became the fourth player in franchise history to make the All-Defensive Team.

In 2002, the Kings were tougher and almost eliminated the Lakers in the playoffs, but unfortunately suffered the strongest black whistle in Game 6.

In that game, the Lakers made as many as 27 free throws in the fourth quarter, more than the Kings' 25 free throws in the whole game, and Kobe Bryant's elbow was on the free throw line.

In the end, the two teams entered the battle of the seventh, and the king died tragically.

That game became a big stain on the NBA, making countless people question the fairness of the game.

Last season, Webber's repeated injuries affected the team's performance, and the Kings weakened and were eliminated from the playoffs.

Brad Miller, who entered the NBA out of the draft, joined the Kings this season and is currently playing a career-best stat with 14 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

Stojakovic averaged 24 points per game and was also a career-high scoring leader.

Bibby is on target, and Christie is still steady. On the bench, there was also Bobby Jackson, who was last season's Sixth Man of the Year.

The only flaw for the Kings was that Webb underwent minimally invasive surgery and was able to return in the second half of the year. It was for this reason that the king brought in Miller in place of Webb.

If Webber is not injured, the Kings lineup is really terrifying, even if Webber is not there, the Kings still lead the league in terms of current record, and they can compete with any team.

The next day, Wang Jun got up at six o'clock to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast and called China.

At this time, it was nine o'clock in the evening, and the family had not slept yet, so they watched TV together.

Le Ying answered the phone. "Brother, get up so early."

"There is a game tomorrow, I heard that this is a domestic live broadcast, don't forget to watch it."

"Well, you know, even the neighbors are watching. You play hard and try to score more than 20 points. Le Ying's tone was full of pride, because of Wang Jun, they became celebrities in the community.

"As long as the coach lets me play, I'm sure I'll score."

Le Ying only said a few words, and Song Ting grabbed the phone and asked questions, all of which were gossip about Wang Jun and Theron.

"Brother Jun, because you and I have become celebrities in school now, many people are looking for friends with me, and there are also roses, I will graduate next year, can I also go to the United States to study? What should I do if I study badly? ”

"Of course you can, you don't need to study well to apply for studying abroad, you must pass the English test, and if you want to come, you can practice English. Ask my aunt and uncle, are they willing to come to the United States to develop? Let's talk about it. ”

Wang Jun is confident that he will break into the NBA, and at the end of two seasons, he will also enter the multimillionaire level in the future by signing a middle-class job.

If you are rich, of course, you can't miss the benefits of your family.

The relatives of the Wang family never cared about their brothers and sisters, and there was no need to pay attention to those who had cut off contact, if the aunt's family was willing to come to the United States for development, he would definitely support it.

chatted with his aunt, the uncle of "passers-by turned fans", and Wang Jun hung up the phone.

Thinking of his relatives' attention, he has more motivation to fight.

After eating, he went back to his room and sat for a while, and Wang Jun went out for a run.

Jogging but not strenuous activities, and when he competes in the evening, his body will be full of a sense of movement and play better. This is the secret of Davidism.

Sacramento, the capital of California, has a total population of about 400,000 and many Chinese, with Asians said to make up nearly 20% of the city's total population.

Against the blue sky, old and modern buildings live in harmony, and walking through the streets of the city is like visiting a delicate garden, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

When he returned to the hotel, Wang Jun caught a glimpse of Kidd talking on the phone in the corner of the hall, saying a bunch of sweet words that did not fit his image.

Kidd hung up the phone, noticed Wang Jun looking this way, and said with a bitter face: "My wife likes to hear this, you must think it's too numb, don't you?" ”

"Nope." Wang Jun shook his head.

"It's all written on my face."

Wang Jun was not good at hiding his emotions, and smiled awkwardly.

Kidd sighed: "No way, it's not easy to be a player's wife, I've been playing everywhere, training a lot, I don't have much time to spend with my family, and I've been to the Olympics during the holidays, if I don't say that, she'll get angry and trouble me......"

"I totally understand." Wang Jun nodded hurriedly, feeling that he knew something that he shouldn't know.

Kidd laughed: "If you fall in love with Charlize Theron, it will be more troublesome, she is much more famous than you." You're on the news again when you're in Los Angeles, and I'm curious, how can you get together with her? Can you share it? ”

"That's a long story......"

The two had lunch together, chatted about women, and the conversation turned back to basketball.

Kidd is sure that Wang Jun's person in charge of defending will be Stojakovic.

Peja is a well-known shooter in the league, with little role on the defensive end, mainly relying on jump shots to score, mid-to-long-range accuracy, and is currently the Kings' leading scorer.

Kidd didn't take Peja seriously and encouraged, "Don't be intimidated by his name, I think he plays a lot like you, just tall." This time, you have to actively play a fast attack, it must be faster than him, as long as you rush up, I don't believe he can defend you and play to his advantage. ”

"I'm going to try to score more than 20 points."

Kidd is indicating that he will pass the ball to him, and Wang Jun will not live up to the other party's kindness.

Kidd admired Wang Jun more than Jefferson.

The former relies on his body to play the ball, while Wang Jun is more brainy, has strong learning ability, shoots accurately, and shoots when receiving the ball, which is more conducive to team cooperation.

The hapless Jefferson was destined to take fewer shots. His offensive ability with the ball is stronger than Wang Jun, but he is tired of playing like that, and he is also easy to be trapped.

As long as Wang Jun is passed, not only can the efficiency be guaranteed, but Kidd can also brush the assist.

This season, Kidd is heading for his fifth assists trophy. He doesn't want to be an MVP anymore, he is too far behind in the opening season, and his stats are definitely not as beautiful as stars in other positions.

In short, in 2005, Jefferson and Wang Jun became free agents at the same time, and there will definitely be fierce competition for contract extension.
