Chapter 170
The photos of Wang Jun and Theron playing at the skating rink were published on the major entertainment news pages, and fans and fans were in an uproar.
Big stars are too high-profile to show up in public, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of the paparazzi.
Luckily, this is New York, and people are used to seeing celebrities, and if it were China, Theron would be blocked in the skating rink by crazy star chasers, and then wait for the economic company to call the police to rescue and the security guards to open the way.
The New York sports media also reported on the incident, suspecting that Wang Jun's sluggish state in playing Jazz was because he was looking forward to dating Theron, and his mind was not on the basketball court. The article is more direct about pointing out that skating is a sport that is forbidden for players.
That night, the manager of the tennis team, Vanderwig, called Wang Jun and was a little displeased. "Wang, what you did today made me very angry, if you want to go on a date, find a low-key place, or directly in the hotel, why do you have to go ice skating?"
Wang Jun hadn't read the news yet, and he was puzzled: "Well, manager...... How do you know? Is there anything wrong with this? β
Vanderwig exclaimed: "Of course there is a problem, the owner is not happy to read the news, you just became a starter for the team, you have to put your mind on the basketball court. Ice skating and skiing can sprain ankles and knees, and players are prohibited. Didn't the manager tell you when he started the game? β
NBA management pays special attention to the safety and security of players, and both leagues and teams have developed rules to restrict players from engaging in high-risk activities.
If violated, the team can be suspended, fined, or even terminated.
He is best known for last season's draft pick Jay Williams, who raced through his heavy motorcycle in June. Accidentally lost control and crashed into a power pole on the side of the road. As a result, he ruptured ligaments in his left knee and severely damaged three nerves in his left leg. Facing lifelong amputation and even life-threatening injuries.
The Bulls simply bought out the contract, and his short NBA career was over. Otherwise, the Bulls won't pick Hinrich this summer. If you find a rookie forward, the team may rise.
These rules are written in the player's contract, and if the foreign player does not understand English, the coaching staff will usually be responsible for communicating them to the new players at the beginning of the new season.
Wang Jun happened to be a player who couldn't read complicated English, and said embarrassedly: "Manager, I was banned when the game started......
"......" Van DewjΔ covered his face with one hand.
He wants to criticize and educate Wang Jun. It turned out to be an oolong, Scott was gone, but the impact was still there.
Those who don't know are not guilty, Vanderwig sighed and said slowly: "Forget it this time, you have to remember in the future, you can't ride a motorcycle, you can't skate, you can't ski." You can't play parkour, rock climbing, roller skating, surfing, etc., and you can't play if you might get injured, understand? β
Wang Jun hurriedly agreed: "I understand, I'm sorry for this incident." I apologize. I really don't know about this prohibition and will never do it again. β
"Well, play well in the next game. Let's do it first, I'm hanging. β
Vanderwich breathed a sigh of relief. He has to educate Wang Jun, and he can't say anything serious.
At present, except for Kidd, Martin, and Jefferson. Wang Jun is the most popular in the tennis team. The boss specially instructed him to pay attention to him, keep him healthy, and ensure playing time.
In just a few games, Wang Jun attracted a lot of Chinese fans and became a Chinese idol in the entire Greater New York area. His potential commercial value is high, and the uniform team must take it seriously.
The next day, Wang Jun drove the "classic car" that he thought was worthless to the stadium, and he didn't have time to paint it, leaving it in its original state.
In the parking lot, he happened to run into Rodney, Martin, Kidd, and Jefferson.
Seeing Wang Jun get out of the car, the four of them stopped, as if they had discovered a new continent.
Martin quickly stepped forward, didn't let Wang Jun close the car door, stretched his head in to take a look at the layout in the car, and said strangely: "It's weird, it's exactly the same!" Wang, how do you drive this car? β
Wang Jun saw the other three staring at him, and thought: This second-hand car should not be sold by Martin, right? Otherwise, why did he say exactly the same?
Wang Jun scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It's a second-hand car given by a friend, I like it very much, and I drove it without repainting." β
"Theron sent you?" Rodney's eyes were suddenly round, and he was panting like a cow.
"Well, I said it was an old Ford from 1967, and I took it. Isn't it a bit weird to open this? Wang Jun didn't understand why they were acting weird.
Martin and Jefferson looked at each other.
Rodney looked at Kidd, squinted and asked, "This kid is showing off on purpose, right?" Why don't we beat him up together? β
Wang Jun shrunk his neck. "Why are you beating me?"
Kidd rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "Wang, do you know the movie "60 Seconds"? β
Wang Jun shook his head.
Kidd spread his hands and looked at his companion. "It doesn't seem like a show-off, but I think he's underwhelmed. The car was actually delivered by Theron. β
"Beat him." Martin yelled and rushed up to hug Wang Jun.
The other three also rushed forward and gave him a few punches in the back. The sound is quite scary, in fact, for athletes, this is "beating the back" to relax and play.
The five gentlemen entered the stadium in a hurry, and after listening to Martin's introduction, Wang Jun knew that this car was famous.
If you have seen the 2000 Nicolas Cage film "60 Seconds", you will definitely be impressed by the 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 that made a big splash in the film. Under the tight and exciting speeding scene and the fast-paced soundtrack, it is addictive.
There are two main characters in this movie, one is Cage and the other is a Mustang sports car known as "Yelena". Angelina Jolie can only play supporting roles.
This was originally a model called a "timeless classic", because the movie became more popular, and it triggered a collection craze in the United States in the past two years.
The prop cars in the movie were modified, a total of 12 were changed, and in the end there were 7 left, one for Cage and the black man who played with him after filming.
The car driven by Wang Jun, the four of them suspected that it was a prop car, because it was too similar to the one in the movie.
Indeed, Theron and the head of the crew knew and worked together, and the trust relationship paid $100,000 to buy it. This is already considered cheap, and if it is auctioned publicly, the price will definitely be much higher, because there is no market.
Wang Jun realized that the car was worth a lot of money, but he would not return it, which would make him uncomfortable and hurt Theron.
After warming up, Wang Jun practiced tactics with his teammates.
His status in the team has risen again, which makes Jefferson feel jealous, because Lawrence has arranged a positional offensive tactic for him, covering the side without the ball, and running after the baseline without the ball.
Kidd will block and dismantle with Martin in the high post or outside the three-point line, and after the misalignment, Kidd can pass to Martin in the middle to cut the ball, shoot to Wang Jun who is running, or attack the opponent's interior by himself.
As a result, the Nets' trident on the offensive end was actually replaced by Wang Jun.
Jefferson couldn't get the coach to change his mind, he was only good at fast breaks, he could hold the ball in positional battles, he could cut in the air, and he overlapped Martin a bit. Let him run and shoot a three-pointer, he is not sure.
After training, Wang Jun received a call from Theron in the locker room.
Theron spoke loudly, and as soon as he came up, he was in a hurry to apologize to Wang Jun. "Wang, I'm sorry, I didn't know that players couldn't go skating...... The news says you may be punished, so don't be angry. β
"Don't worry, I didn't know before, so the manager forgave me, can we eat together at noon?" Wang Jun knew the value of the car and couldn't pretend not to know.
"It's good that you're not angry, you didn't call in the morning, you don't send text messages, I'm afraid you'll ignore me again."
"Charlie, I won't ignore you, I promise."
Wang Jun's wardrobe was in the middle of the locker room, and Rodney, Kidd, Martin, and Jefferson were just next to him, and when they heard the content of the call, they were collectively petrified.
Jefferson's eyelids jumped and he asked, "Why does it seem like Theron is chasing him?" I apologized for sending the car, was it because of my auditory hallucinations? β
Martin opened his mouth wide: "You don't have auditory hallucinations, I heard it too, I suddenly wanted to hit someone." β
"How about doing it now?" Rodney asked, squinting.
"Come on." Kidd gave the order directly.
As soon as Wang Jun hung up the phone, he didn't know what was going on, and he was pressed to the ground by four big men, and no one paid attention to him when he cut his throat...... (To be continued......)
