679. Is there such a great feud? (Chapter 4K, Part 3)
Wang Keying is going to Los Angeles to prepare for studying, school starts on the 15th, go through the formalities a few days in advance, find a place to live, the key is a job, a trendy brand found her spokesperson, to open a new store in Los Angeles, probably at the beginning of next month, Wang Keying has to go over to negotiate the contract, etc., these are handled by her uncle.
Originally, I wanted to find Sun Ce, but Sun Ce didn't have that spare time, Wang Keying took advantage of Sun Ce's popularity, got a job, and had an income, so Wang Keying once again seriously rejected Sun Ce's desire to give her a credit card, and Sun Ce didn't force it
On the morning of the 8th, the two were separated at the airport, Sun Ce and his teammates went to Rutherford Town next to Jersey City, and Wang Keying went to Los Angeles.
When the Nets play at home, it's really the players of the whole league who dislike it, including the Nets' own players.
For example, Yi Jianlian, a former Nets player of the Grizzlies, played here for a year, although he averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds per game, but this year seemed like a nightmare to him, and now he is back in his hometown, and he has no nostalgia at all.
Next door to Jersey City, one of the cities with the highest per capita income in the United States, with a small area but a huge population density, it is the most populous city in the United States, and even the population density in the world is very high.
The entire Jersey City land area is less than 40 square kilometers, square kilometers, not 10,000 square kilometers, in contrast, China's Jiangxi Agricultural University covers an area of more than 11 square kilometers, but has a population of nearly 250,000, almost half of the city is near the sea, and the industrialization is highly developed, and New York Bay, Newark Bay are under the management of Jersey City, sitting on 15 square kilometers of ports, in 2010 Jersey City's total GDP exceeded 180 billion US dollars, per capita GDP ranked among the top five in the United States all year round.
But next to such a super-rich city, the Nets did not take advantage of any economic dividends.
People in Jersey City think they are New Yorkers, and their favorite teams are the Knicks and the Yankees, while people in Newark City, a little farther away but not very far, think they are Philadelphia and like the 76ers.
The Nets moved here, except for the two years they reached the Finals, and they often couldn't sell out of tickets to the playoffs, New Jersey is not poor, but the Nets don't feel rich at all, but have to endure the pollution brought by two highly industrialized cities on both sides.
The largest hotel in Rutherford Town is a self-proclaimed four-star standard business hotel, this hotel has a long history, opened in 1986, renovated once in 1999, more than ten years have passed, the facilities are outdated, the service is backward...... Over time, the fact that the visiting players were unhappy when they checked in here actually became the Nets' "home-court advantage".
The Nets' Russian boss said that the arena in Brooklyn, New York, is ready to be built, and that he will escape from this place by 2012 at the latest.
The only thing that can be called "good" here is that guns are banned here, New Jersey is one of the few states in the United States that bans guns, and Chicago, New York, and some cities in Connecticut, Illinois, have amended their autonomy laws since 1996 to carry out gun control.
……
The next morning, the Grizzlies players consciously got up early to go to practice, Coach Hollins saw the players at seven o'clock and said that they were going to the Army Aviation Arena, how could he not know what was going on?
Coach Hollins really wants to play in these conditions every game, no, one by one.
It's mainly psychological, NBA players, generally feel that this hotel is not good, as for what is bad, maybe the players of each team have different statements, such as the Grizzlies There are rumors that this hotel has dirty things.
When they arrived at the Army Aviation Arena, although the opponent was not strong, the Grizzlies were still very focused on preparing for the game.
Because there's a superstar on the other side!
During the team meeting, defensive assistant coach Dave Jogle took a good look at the changes Deron brought to the Nets.
It's okay not to analyze this, the Grizzlies players feel that the Nets have an extra superstar and Brock Lopez, a new generation of top centers who averaged 20 points and 6 rebounds per game in the third year, is not easy to deal with, but after analysis, I saw Deron join the Nets and play six games......
DeLong played an average of 39 minutes per game in these six games, averaging 14 points, 5.2 rebounds and 13.3 assists per game.
But the shooting percentage averaged 4.2 of 15 shots per game, 28 percent shooting, 27 percent three-point shooting, 36 percent ball possession, and 14 ......percent efficiency value
The more the players listened to Jogger's analysis, they felt that the Nets were worse, not to mention, Jogel himself analyzed and felt that the other side was really bad.
But Coach Hollins was not careless about this game and prepared well.
Because Delong has been working against Sun Ce!
Although there is a feeling of brushing assists, he averages 13.3 assists per game, which has to be brushed, and he must have the ability to brush!
In the past three seasons, Delon has averaged 10+ assists per game, and has reached the highest Western Conference finals, and his strength should not be underestimated.
In Coach Hollins' view, Delon will definitely fight hard when he meets Sun Ce, and he doesn't want his team to become a stepping stone to Delon's "recovery", there is no shortage of such examples in NBA history, and he doesn't want to be one of those examples.
……
The NBA is very realistic, the media is also very realistic, when Delon was still in the Jazz team, Sun Ce VS Delon attracted a lot of attention, if Delon went to Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and other places, the two will still have a lot of attention, but now, Delon game, except for one of the most beautiful scenery in the NBA - Little Fat Torture Cannon, no one really pays attention to Delon anymore.
The New Jersey Nets have a nickname – Star Grave.
Except for Kidd, who is more tenacious, the other superstars have come here and announced the end of their peak.
Some stars who have come here are already the tail of the peak, the key is that some popular superstars, after being traded here, there is no longer high popularity, even if the popularity is as high as Carter, after playing here for more than a year, in the 06-07 season, he averaged 25 points, 6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, rebounds and assists set a new career high at that time, and 82 games were full, but the popularity declined sharply, and the All-Star starters did not enter.
In the 07-08 season, Carter averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and averaged 20+5+5 per game for the only time in his career.
And Delong's popularity is far less than that of Carter back then, and when he came here, the attention dropped to freezing point.
At the pre-game press conference in the afternoon, in addition to the Chinese reporters and Memphis reporters who accompanied the team, there were only a few reporters who followed the league officials, and the reporters of the New Jersey State Newspaper, there was no one else.
Sun Ce also thought that Delong would be like last season, when he met him, he came out and jumped, but Delong didn't come to the pre-game press conference, and it was the player who was very impressed by Sun Ce - Da Lopez, who has weighed 120 kg since entering the NBA, and now has a seven-foot low-post center with a huge tonnage of 125 kg, which will be transformed into a 110-kilogram dexterous running shot with excellent frame protection ability in the future, is the most amazing player in Sun Ce's impression, look at Da Lopez's current size, One of the slowest players in the NBA, except for Sun Ce, no one guessed that this guy would become one of the most flexible interior players in the future.
I can see the changes in the league, I have the talent to make changes in the style of play, and I am willing to change them...... Sun Ce feels that Da Lopez is a fairly smart player, and the 31-year-old Da Lopez got a big contract of more than 50 million US dollars for four years when he couldn't play during the rookie contract of Jahir Okafor, a talented center of the same type.
The brain is really good!
……
With the cold sea breeze and the countdown to the Nets' more than 30-year New Jersey franchise history, at 3:10 p.m., the game between the Grizzlies and the Nets was about to begin, and the players of both teams entered.
Looking at the sparse fans, Sun Ce and the others felt very uncomfortable.
Sun Ce roughly estimated that there might be 10,000 fans at the scene, right?
At present, the Nets are 10-27, tied with the Cavaliers for fourth from the bottom in the East, with a poor record and low fan motivation.
But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Nets have decided to move away, and they have accumulated some fans over the decades, but since the Nets are all moving, except for some die-hard fans, or people who are idle and bored because of cheap fares, or Grizzlies fans in New York or Philadelphia who come to watch the game, there really isn't anyone who wants to watch the Nets play.
The Nets players don't seem to be very passionate, either.
When the home team players came out, there were boos at the scene, and some local fans took out paper bags and put them on their heads, "mourning the death of the team".
Sun Ce saw the superstar he had been with since he entered the NBA - Deron Williams.
In addition to Delon and Lopez, the Nets actually still have some people, Sun Ce saw the Nets poached Vujacic and Famar from the Lakers, the aunt Chris Humphries poached from the Jazz, and the excellent role player Travis Otero poached from the Clippers......
Coupled with the use of Devin Harris and a third-pick rookie Derrick Favors this time, and a 26-year-old superstar point guard who has averaged at least 18 points and 10 assists per game over the past three seasons, the Nets can form such a lineup, and the management operation is already very good.
In fact, the Nets management operation has always been very good, the big deal has been very stable, Marbury for Kidd God operation, without opening the eye of the sky, Harris + No. 3 show for Delon, which is also a god operation, and Harris is exchanged for Kidd who actively wants to leave the team, that is, the Nets management picked up the Timberwolves for nothing, and used Marbury's value for 10 years, and 10 years later, he also got a 26-year-old point guard who averaged 10+ assists per game!
And before the combination of Kidd + Carter was dismantled, the Nets were at the playoff level all year round, but they didn't make money with two popular players, but lost money year after year, and the team was sold before they finished last season.
However, why did the Nets later fire the meritorious general manager of more than ten years, and replaced the general manager with Billy King after moving to New York in 2012, Sun Ce was curious about what the Russians thought.
At 3:25, the game was about to start, and except for the non-local fans who came to see Sun Ce or the Grizzlies, everyone else either looked lifeless, or they were eating while watching cheap tickets, and the long-legged cheerleading beauties were not energetic.
Sun Ce came to the technical desk to rub magnesium powder, and at this time, Delong also came to the technical table and looked sideways at Sun Ce while rubbing magnesium powder, as if he had something to say.
Sun Ce thought that the other party was finally going to provoke, but who knew that Delong opened his mouth and said: "Lord, you can win the MVP, don't let Paul take the MVP!" ”
Sloan's entry into the Bulls, this change completely disrupted the NBA pattern in Sun Ce's memory, and the ownership of MVP began to move towards a situation of competing for the best.
Paul, the Knicks star who is currently ranked second in the East, is undoubtedly one of the MVP candidates, and Paul, who is currently competing with Nash and Rondo for the assist king, if the record is better than Rondo's team and wins the assist king, it will inevitably help him compete for MVP, plus the Knicks' record has improved so much this season, and it is located in New York, the Knicks have rarely appeared an MVP-level player since Ewing, and in the case of the Bulls entering the adjustment period, if the Knicks really play the first place in the East, Paul really has a chance of winning the MVP.
However, Howard and Sun Ce are still the first candidates for MVP in the East and West.
Although DeLong is very unwilling for a sophomore player to have a chance to win the MVP, he is even more unwilling to let the "lifelong enemy" in his mind stand on the stage of MVP contenders again.
Sun Ce didn't expect Delong to say such a thing, Delong's unwillingness, Sun Ce felt it very clearly.
What a feud this is! I didn't think of how to answer Delong's words, Sun Ce was just about to answer first, and suddenly felt a little bad, feeling that as long as he responded, something bad would happen, but he habitually said "um~" first, it was the kind of voice that changed from three tones to one with doubts or ridicule, but at this time the system prompt came!
"Because the host responded to the unwilling request of the sworn enemy Deron Williams, a special event: the man's engagement was triggered."
"A man's pact (*): The host made a pact with Deron Williams not to let Chris Paul win the regular season MVP......
Event Reward: Special Card: Deron Williams' Thanksgiving ......"
"Deron Williams' gratitude: If the host offers to learn pick-and-roll techniques, Deron Williams will be generous for guidance."
