Chapter 136 [Meeting]

In the morning, Nets head coach Scott manager Van derwich went to a villa in the suburbs.

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

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

Kidd averaged 187 points, 63 rebounds and 89 assists in his career, and was selected as the All-Star for the sixth time last season. Last season's playoffs, he averaged 201 points, 77 rebounds and 82 assists per game, almost scoring a triple-double.

Recently, the media has been exploding negative news about Kidd, and many fans on the Internet have also criticized his shooting percentage.

01-02 season 02-03 season was the weakest two years in the East, so the Nets could dominate the East with 52 wins. The 76ers had an accident at that time, the Pacers were in trouble, the Pistons had just begun to rebuild, and the Nets seized the middle period of the major changes in the East.

There is a saying that the Nets are just cannon fodder in the finals, and at least 67 teams in the West can beat them. The Lakers Kings Spurs Trail Blazers Nets and Mavericks have the strength to defeat the Nets. Last season, the Suns led by Marbury were also 70% sure in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In short, whoever qualifies in the West will win the championship, the Nets have no ability to resist at all.

Kidd doesn't think so. He entered the finals with three rookies and one sick man's lineup twice, which is a miracle.

Who doesn't want superstar teammates, just like the Lakers Timberwolves? Xia Tian Kidd doesn't really want to join the Spurs, he just puts pressure on the management.

As the core of the team that entered the finals twice, Kidd's salary for renewal was not high, because the Nets promised to introduce good helpers to him.

As a result, the signings of the Nets in the new season were basically over, and the helpers he found for Kidd were the bigger "sick" Mo Ning, and he also exchanged the first-round draft pick for Wang Jun, the second round 4 pick.

Kidd had a good temper without taking the gasoline barrel to burn the Nets' office building.

Kidd's Dr. Hannibal's look made Van dervich feel guilty and could only bite the bullet and express his intention: "Jason, Wang Jun will hold a press conference tonight. You have to attend, otherwise the media will write randomly again."

Kid sat on the sofa, crossing his legs, and snorting. "What do you write? I didn't smile at me to welcome a second round pick who knew how to hype? I didn't flatter a rookie?"

Kidd had a bad first impression of Wang Jun. He suffered a loss in Xiao Mavericks because of a woman's matter. His wife always suspected that he had an affair and checked the post every day, which made him extremely irritable.

Wang Jun frequently appears in entertainment news and has a scandal with Theron. Because of his jealousy, Wang Jun stole the limelight from local players, many American media have described him as an inappropriate player.

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

Van dervich advised: "He has a celebrity girlfriend, which does not mean he is not working hard to play. He performed well in the summer league, or Hornersek's apprentice, what are you not satisfied with?"

"I won't like him unless I'm going to see his efforts, and I won't go tonight," Kidd insisted.

Scott smiled bitterly and said, "Jason, I suggest going to the press conference. You are going to the Mo Ning meeting. Now if you don't go to Wang Jun, what will the media say? He is Chinese, and it will be unworthy if you offend Chinese fans because of this."

Van dervich added: "He will not be a marginal player on the team and will have 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 and gain more attention. You must have a good relationship with him."

"Is it necessary?" Kidd smiled slightly.

In the end, Kidd chose to stay at home and did not attend the meeting.

The entire Nets team held Kidd and followed him, fearing that he would leave. He couldn't insist and the management could do nothing. They knew very well that if Kidd switched to his team, everything would be over, the Nets would have to start rebuilding immediately.

Boss Lewis Katz will never want to see Kidd leave, and the market value of the Internet team will definitely drop.

In the evening, Wang Jun held a press conference at the Nets Land Aviation Stadium. There were more reporters present than when Mooning came, and almost reached the attention of celebrities.

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

Wang Jun didn't care if Kidd didn't attend, and he didn't know what kind of treatment he should have when he came to report.

He showed his No. 0 jersey with coach Scott boss Lewis, and then accepted an interview with the coach and answered questions.

CCTV5 reporter Xu Xuejiao came to the scene and asked head coach Scott: "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 domestic media cares about the most. 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 nonsense.

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

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

Scott did not make it perfunctory this time. "If it weren't too much of an accident, his task in the new season was to shoot three-pointers. I think he was suitable for the team system, otherwise he wouldn't trade it, let alone sign a contract directly after the summer league. I believe in his ability."

It would be enough to get this answer, 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 must be possible, and I will try to make myself better."

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

"It's very strong. Kidd is a superstar. Martin Jefferson and others are also strong. It must be a pleasure to play around them."

The reporter asked: "Are you confident of becoming an important rotation player?"

Wang Jun had long lost the tension he had at first facing the camera and smiled: "As long as they attract the defense and pass the ball, I will definitely hit the open position. I will also actively run and create opportunities. I will get along well with my seniors, I long for victory, we have the same goal. I long for the season to start 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 pick. Do you feel that you are underestimated?"

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

To show weakness, the press will say that he has no confidence; to say that he is underestimated, if he is not as good as Zoran Praninic in the new season, he will be caught by the media and squirted.

Wang Jun thought about it before answering: "Let the fans evaluate it after the season starts. I think it is the most important thing to make progress."

Hughes breathed a sigh of relief. This answer was perfect. He not only perfunctorily passed, but also once again expressed his attitude of working hard.

The press conference ended successfully. Wang Jun felt that the only thing was wrong. Because Abby didn't come, she was sent to interview NFL stars. Today, the one who came to ESPN was a male reporter.

Wang Jun swore that one day, he would make espn pay attention to him and send beautiful women to interview him.
