Super Lord of the Rings

In the morning, Nets coach Scott and manager Vandeweghe went to a villa in the suburbs together.

This is Kidd's home, and the two came to talk to him and do ideological work.

Kidd is currently full of resentment towards the management, he is going crazy.

Kidd averaged 18.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists in his career, and was selected to the All-Star for the sixth time last season. In the playoffs last season, he averaged 20.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, almost hitting a triple-double.

Recently, the media has been blasting Kidd's negative news, and many fans on the Internet have criticized his shooting percentage.

The 01-02 season and the 02-03 season were the weakest two years in the East, so the Nets can dominate the East with 52 wins. The 76ers changed at that time, the Pacers were out of reach, the Pistons had just begun to rebuild, and the Nets seized the middle period of the Eastern Conference's great transformation.

There is an argument that says: The Nets are the cannon fodder for entering the finals. There are at least 6 or 7 teams in the West who can beat them. The Lakers, Kings, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Nets, Mavericks, etc. all have the strength to beat the Nets. Last season, the Suns led by Marbury also had a 70% certainty in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In short, whoever wins in the West will win the championship, and the Nets have no resistance at all.

Kidd doesn't think so. It's a miracle that he entered the finals twice with three rookies and a sick starting lineup.

Who doesn't want superstar teammates, like the Lakers and Timberwolves? Kidd didn't really want to join the Spurs in the summer, he just put pressure on the management.

As the core of the team that has reached the finals twice, Kidd's contract renewal salary is not high, because the Nets promised to introduce good helpers to him.

As a result, the Nets' signings for the new season are basically over, and the helper they found for Kidd is the bigger "sick man" Mourning, and they also exchanged their first-round pick for Wang Jun, the fourth pick in the second round.

Kidd didn't burn the Nets office building with a gasoline can, which is already a good temper.

Kidd's Dr. Hannibal-like eyes made Vandeweghe feel guilty, so he could only bite the bullet and express his intention: "Jason, Wang Jun has a press conference tonight, and you have to attend, otherwise the media will scribble .”

Kidd sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and snorted. "What to write? I don't have a hippie smile to greet a second-round pick who knows the hype? I don't flatter a rookie?"

Kidd's first impression of Wang Jun was bad. Back then he had suffered because of women in the Mavericks, and his wife always suspected him of having an affair, checking the post every day, which made him extremely irritable.

Wang Jun frequently appeared on the entertainment news, and had an affair with Theron. Because Wang Jun was jealous of stealing the limelight from local players, many media in the United States described him as an idle player.

This is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for the irritable Kidd.

Vandeweghe persuaded: "He has a celebrity girlfriend, but it doesn't mean he doesn't play hard. He performed very well in the summer league, and he is Hornacek's apprentice. What are you dissatisfied with?"

"Unless I see his hard work, I don't like him, and I'm not going tonight," Kidd insisted.

Scott smiled bitterly: "Jason, I suggest going to the press conference. You went to Mourning's meeting, but now you don't go to Wang Jun's. What will the media say? He is Chinese. If you offend Chinese fans because of this It's just not worth it."

Vandeweghe added: "He will not be a fringe member of the team and will have a stable playing time. In this way, our broadcasting rights can be sold to China, and we may become the home team of Chinese fans like the Rockets, gaining more attention. You must Get on good terms with him."

"Must?" Kidd smiled slightly.

In the end, Kidd chose to stay at home instead of attending the meeting.

The entire Nets supported Kidd and followed him for fear that he would leave. If he insists on not going, the management can't do anything about it. They know very well that if Kidd switches to his team and everything is over, the Nets will have to start rebuilding immediately.

Owner Lewis Katz would never want to see Kidd go,

At that time, the market value of the Nets will definitely drop.

In the evening, Wang Jun held a press conference at the Nets Army Aviation Arena. There were more reporters present than when Mourning came, almost reaching the star's attention.

Because he has a lot of gimmicks, the first round of the second rotation, China's first outside player to play in the NBA, Theron's rumored boyfriend, etc...

Wang Jun didn't care about Kidd's absence. He didn't even know what standard treatment he should have when he came to report.

He showed his No. 0 jersey with coach Scott and owner Lewis, and then interviewed reporters with the coach to answer questions.

CCTV5 reporter Xu Xuejiao came to the scene and asked coach Scott: "Excuse me, how much playing time do you expect Wang Jun to get next season? Is it possible to become an important rotation member?"

This is what the domestic media is most concerned about. Except for Yao Ming, other Chinese players are marginal people. Fans hope that Wang Jun can perform well and become an outstanding outside star.

"It all depends on how things go," Scott said.

This is bullshit.

Of course, Wang Jun is only a second-round rookie, what guarantees can the other party have?

Xu Xuejiao wanted to say something nice to Wang Jun, and deliberately asked: "Wang Jun's three-point shooting rate is very stable. Now that the Nets' starter Kittles has an old injury, will the team consider arranging a running strategy for him?"

This time Scott didn't flinch. "If there is no big surprise, his task in the new season is to shoot three-pointers. I think he is suitable for the team system, otherwise he will not be traded, let alone signed directly after the summer league. I believe in his ability."

Getting this answer is enough, but Wang Jun has to compete with the rest of the team.

The reporter interviewed Wang Jun: "Do you think you can adapt to the rhythm of the game in the new season?"

"It's definitely possible, and I will try my best to make myself better."

The reporter asked: "What do you think of the Nets?"

"Very strong. Kidd is a superstar. Martin, Jefferson and others are also strong. It must be fun to play beside them."

The reporter asked: "Are you confident to become an important rotation player?"

Wang Jun has long since lost the nervousness facing the camera at the beginning, and smiled: "As long as they attract the defense and pass the ball, I will definitely make a shot. I will also actively run and create opportunities. I will get along with my seniors Well, I'm hungry to win, we have the same goals. I'm eager to start the season as soon as possible and learn from them."

A reporter asked a sensitive question. "You were selected in the second round, but changed to the first round. Do you feel that you are undervalued?"

Ryan Hughes winked at Wang Jun not far away, this question cannot be answered randomly.

If he shows weakness, the reporter will say that he has no confidence; if he says that he is underestimated, once he does not play as well as Zoran Planinic in the new season, he will be caught by the media.

Wang Jun thought for a while before answering: "After the season starts, let the fans judge. I think the most important thing is to be able to improve."

Hughes heaved a sigh of relief, this answer was perfect, not only perfunctory, but also showed once again that he would work hard.

The press conference ended successfully. Wang Jun felt that there was a fly in the ointment, because Abby didn't come, she was sent to interview NFL stars, and ESPN came today with a male reporter.

Wang Jun vowed that one day, he would make ESPN pay more attention to him and send beautiful women to interview him.
