Chapter 335 [Community Service, Violent Fans]
Fifteen games, Wang Jun has to take a month off and make a comeback after Christmas.
Theron couldn't leave at a critical stage of filming, so he could only call to encourage Wang Jun to get through the difficulties. Theron thinks he's doing the right thing, he's playing well, and that's what a man should be.
Abby also can't leave Cleveland unless she quits. It is not easy for her to get to where she is today, and she can't give up her career in order to spend the ban with Wang Jun.
Wang Jun expressed his understanding and did not force them to be around.
Kidd also called Wang Jun, not blaming him for being impulsive, but telling him not to give up training, ensure his condition, and work together to reach the playoffs after the ban ended.
Kidd knew that anger could not change the outcome, and fully understood Wang Jun. He himself was very impulsive when he first entered the league, but now that he has a championship and has undergone surgery, he has become slightly gentler.
After many days, the media is still hyping up the brawl, and the Timberwolves management is behind the scenes, deliberately trying to make things bigger.
When Garnett beat up the rookie, the whole Timberwolves team had the same attitude towards the outside world talking about it, that is, not to let things go big, avoid damaging KG's image, and adopted a strategy of calming things down.
At the time, President McHale said, "I've seen hundreds of brawls in the NBA, and I've even been involved in brawls, and that's nothing." ”
Coach Philip? "That's why the coaches are very cautious about opening up training with the media, there will be a lot of confrontation in training," Sanders said. Fights are something we don't want to see, and we certainly don't want a superstar in the team to break their hands. ”
hit the other party, but I was afraid that Garnett would break his hand and take the victim too seriously.
Under pressure. Ricott said at the time: "We're just playing. I have no problem with KG, and I still treat him as a good friend. He was very nice to me. It's a privilege to have his guidance, he's a player I've admired since I was a kid. ”
It's only been a little over a month now. McHale's interview was at the other extreme entirely. "Wang Jun's behavior is too bad, few people fight like this, I think the alliance is right to punish him heavily, and he must apologize to Kevin."
Sanders was even more outrageous, saying: "I think Kevin can sue Wang Jun for malicious wounding, and he deserves to go to jail." ”
He wasn't worried at all about Wang Jun breaking his hand now.
There were also people who supported Wang Jun, and Ricott changed his attitude. When he talked about it in an interview, the description was completely different, and his words were full of disappointment with Garnett.
Before, he didn't dare to tell the truth because he was eager to play in the NBA. Want to get a job at the Timberwolves. As a result, he was swept away at the end of the preseason and failed to get a contract.
Whether it's because he's too bad or hated by Garnett, his NBA dreams are put on hold for the time being.
"I'm eager to prove myself, and he's the MVP, so I want to give it my all," Ricott said. Anyway, he didn't like me like that, and I threw a jumper under his defense, and he threw a punch. ”
'I just want to play beyond his expectations and surprise him and the team. I've always respected him since I was a kid. I thought he was a good player, and after that, I didn't have any respect for him. I believe he did curse Wang Jun's sister because he was such a person. ”
American fans support Garnett. Chinese fans support Wang Jun, there is no winner in this battle, and the most unlucky is CCTV5. also continued to broadcast the Nets game live, without Wang Jun. There's nothing to see about the game.
On the 23rd, Wang Jun received a call at home. The location of the community service was determined.
In the United States, community service is usually decided by a judge as an alternative to full or partial fines or prison sentences, and is generally only applicable to misdemeanors and non-hazardous cases.
The judge may clearly designate the mode of community service, and may also allow the offender to choose the mode of community service in a certain jurisdiction, and the service shall be recorded by the supervision and competent body, and finally reported to the judge before it is completed. Wang Jun's situation is special and is specified. If he causes a lot of impact in a crowded place, the league tries not to let him show his head.
Time flies, Wang Jun has been in the United States for two and a half years, and it is the first time to experience community culture, but the reason for the experience makes him depressed and forced.
The location was in Manhattan Beach, he drove a sports car to his destination, and it was easy to find the community management center, the house was built by the sea, and there were only three employees, which was very clean.
He was greeted by a middle-aged white man of more than 1.8 meters, with a round head, a bow head, a very fierce appearance, and a clear circle of cyan could be seen on his beard even if he had been shaved, as if he had just been released from prison.
"Hello, Jun Wang, I'm Jason? Harriman, it's a pleasure to meet you. Jason tried to smile as he thought he was friendly.
Wang Jun saw his smile and his mind widened, and he imagined that the next moment he would bring out a square suitcase from behind his back and put it on the table. "The goods you want are here, did you bring what I wanted?"
Then countless police officers rushed out from all around, armed with machine guns and shouted at them: "FBI, you are arrested, put your hands up, you have the right to remain silent." ”
Wang Jun shook hands with him. "Hello, what am I going to do?"
"It's simple, just clean up the garbage on the beach and take a little walk around with a belt. It's rarely visited, especially this season, as I think you know. Jason smiled.
"So when do I start working?"
"Anytime, four hours a day."
The degree of freedom in this punishment is still quite high, Wang Jun asked: "Do I need to fill in any documents?" Prove I've been here. ”
"Yes, fill in this, just sign it, and we'll fill in the rest." Jason handed him a form.
Wang Jun still can't speak or write English, so he glanced at it a few times and had no doubts.
Jason added, "You have a partner, he'll be coming right away, and I suggest you wait a while and join him." ”
Five minutes later, Wang Jun met with another person who had been forced to participate in community service.
This is a white guy, only 1.7 meters tall, very thin, named Matthew? Kingsley, a college student in Columbia.
Matthew was very excited to see Wang Jun, and after greeting him, he asked him for an autograph.
After chatting a few words, the two changed into work clothes, received tools, picked up trash clips and straps, and went to the beach together.
The reason why Matthew came here was actually a fight, Wang Jun looked at his figure and said with a smile: "You will come here, do you win?" ”
"I won, I was in the computer room at the time, and I stunned that guy with a folding stool." Matthew replied proudly, looked at Wang Jun with adoring eyes and said, "I can't compare with you, you are so cool that you can beat Garnett to such a miserable appearance." ”
A good folding stool, worthy of being the first of the seven weapons, can make a weak chicken fight and win.
Wang Jun smiled: "I've been banned for 15 games, what's cool?" There are still many people who think of me as a wicked person. ”
"Is there anything wrong with the wicked?" Matthew laughed.
"If only the fans thought like you."
Wang Jun found that this kid has violent tendencies, and he is not a basketball fan at all, but because he can play, he has become a fan. I don't know how many such people there are in the United States, and the more he is on fire, although there is no positive energy. (To be continued.) )
