Chapter 137 [Rock Park Practice]

The next day, the good Knicks media released news, mentioning that Kidd did not attend Wang Jun's meeting, saying that he ignored the newcomer.

They want to provoke a little bit of trouble. The conflict of interest between the Nets and the Knicks mainly stems from their sharing of the same market.

New York City is only separated by a Hudson River from New Jersey. Compared with New York, which is full of economically developed and high-rise buildings, New Jersey pales in terms of both its development and its popularity.

On the surface, New York and New Jersey are not the tense feudal relationship like Madrid and Barcelona. However, these two places have been quietly competing.

As we all know, New York has never looked down on this poor neighbor of New Jersey. New Yorkers think that New Jerseys are from the countryside, not only think that New Jerseys are rustic, but even ignore the fact that the two places are very close and mock the New Jerseys' accent.

But at the beginning of this century, the Nets became a strong team in the league, but the Knicks never made any more achievements except to reach the finals in the shrinking season, and some people began to be attracted by the Nets.

The New Yorkers finally began to treat the Nets as their opponents. They did not want the Nets to improve their strength. Kidd's departure was the easiest way to destroy the Nets.

Chinese media reported on the news of Wang Jun’s signing, and fierce discussions were held online.

Wang Jun now has a group of fans. He doesn't ask him to become a star like Yao Ming, but wants to become an excellent role player, so that Yao Ming will have a good helper in the international arena.

"Wang Jun went to the Nets and had a super guard passing the ball. He was good at shooting. He might play in the first season. I hope he can be as good as Jefferson."

"It's so happy. As soon as you enter the league, you meet Kidd. Yao Ming has only two defenders who are shooting in a flash."

"It mainly depends on his performance in the first two seasons. If he doesn't score points with Kidd, don't expect him to score in the future."

"It's time for Chinese basketball to rise. Wang Jun wants to win the best rookie to make up for the regrets that Yao Ming left to the fans."

There are also many people who don’t like Wang Jun. Some people are very worried about Kidd after seeing the news that he did not attend the meeting.

"Kidd is too lazy to pay attention to him, so he will probably have to leave after playing for a season."

Some people were unhappy with some comments from fans. "There is news that yy Wang Jun replaced Kittles? The draft pick was still above Kobe. He was just a second-round rookie. Is there anything comparable?"

"It's too short to play against the small forward, the shooting guard is too slow, the point guard can't organize, a typical wasteful guy."

"He must be a marginal person in the new season. Because his physical fitness is too poor and his skills are not good, he can only shoot. In the summer league, Wade did not pass the ball to him, and the data immediately dropped. He relies too much on his teammates' assists. Even if he can shoot, the defensive end will be a loophole." Aren't you not explaining?

Not only foreigners think that Chinese players have poor physical fitness, but many people also think so.

After actually entering the 21st century, the quality of life of Chinese people has improved and their physical fitness has been significantly improved. This is especially true for the new group of young players, and the quality gap between them and European and American players is narrowing.

Even in the 1990s, Ma Jian, Gong Xiaobin, Hu Weidong and others had good physical fitness. If he couldn't fight well in the NBA, his health would definitely not be the biggest reason.

Wang Jun had no items in Ann Arbor, so David checked him in New York, and he officially settled here.

He contacted his family regularly and now he is most concerned about his sister coming to the United States when she goes to school.

Le Ying has a heart problem, she cannot be tired or suffer. When she thought about going to school in New York, she still didn't know if she could apply.

After knowing that Wang Jun joined the Nets, Le Ying set her goal at Columbia University. She wanted to study economics and helped Wang Jun take charge of the account after graduation.

This is the oldest university in New York State and one of the five longest-standing universities in the United States. A total of 101 of Columbia alumni and faculty have won the Nobel Prize, second only to Harvard.

Wang Jun will never be able to obtain a prestigious university diploma in this life. If his sister gets a Columbia University degree, he will be excited to think about it.

Wang Jun himself has never been to college and thought that studying abroad is an application after the college entrance examination, but he did not know that usually the autumn entrance examination is applied in March, and the domestic college entrance examination is just a formality.

From preparing documents to apply for an offer to apply for a school, to applying for a study abroad visa, it will take several months or even a year, and applying for admission to that year in June, the time is already very tight.

If Wang Leying successfully applies, she will be admitted to school around February and will not be in the United States for the time being.

Wang Jun spent a day shopping with Abby and bought some daily necessities. On Monday, he started training again and made a complete plan.

In the morning, the two of them had breakfast together first. Abby walked to work at the radio station. Wang Jun changed into sportswear and went out with a basketball to Rock Park in Harlem, three kilometers away.

Rock Park is a world-renowned basketball court located next to 155th Street and Frederick Douglas Avenue.

It is a place that makes New Yorkers proud. Many golfers who play in Rock Park are well-known for their superb skills and have left behind legends like "goats".

Artest, Kobe Vince Carter Byron Davis Frances Marbury, etc., many stars have left their own footprints at Rock Park.

Some rumors are true, while others are fake.

For example, in 2002, Kobe was abused by a streetball player here.

That was a false thing. Kobe scored 14 points on 7 of 10 shots, but the game was cancelled due to heavy rain.

For example, the saying that streetballers are better than NBA stars.

It was similar to Schumacher being humiliated by a Shanghai taxi driver, and Mike Jackson being taught a lesson by a square dance aunt in China.

It is said that when you go to Rock Park, don’t look at others easily, don’t talk to people standing by the roadside, don’t walk, and drive. Perhaps tourists will be beaten up because they accidentally saw the gangsters in Harlem. They must be accompanied by the guys who grew up in Harlem. Everything is followed by them. This is the rule.

It sounds like this place is more lively than Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. People who play basketball like Crows and Roosters Flying Chen Haonan.

Wang Jun went there himself, didn't drive or run, and didn't bring anything except a mobile phone and a little money.

As a result, he encountered no danger and looked like a very ordinary neighborhood stadium.

The truth is that with the increasing salary of NBA players in recent years, most of the strong players have gone to play NBA, including Alstom, which is very famous in Rock Park. Nowadays, there are few high-level players here to play, and naturally there are not many spectators.

The advantage is that amateur streetball players like to break through and are good at dribbling. Wang Jun plans to practice defense. If you play with them, you can exercise your horizontal movement speed and prediction, which is better than practicing yourself.

After fighting until noon, Wang Jun found a place to have dinner and came back in the afternoon.

He went home to take a shower at around four o'clock and waited for Abby to have dinner together after get off work.

After he got home, he then carried out training methods provided by the Tiebanqiao system.

When he arrived in New York, his life became very regular again.
