Wang Jun's popularity continues to rise, and Abby has also become a star.

She also became the spokesperson of AF casual wear, and together with Wang Jun, she endorsed the well-known Italian brand sunglasses "Caricali".

It's no surprise that Vanessa has been featured in entertainment magazines since she married Kobe, which is a perk of being a celebrity girlfriend.

The daughter of the Chinese star and the famous Hornacek has become a couple, which is even more attention-grabbing.

A reporter from Entertainment Weekly conducted an exclusive interview with the two, and in addition to chatting about basketball, he also asked about gossip topics: "How did you come together?" Can you tell us about it? ”

Abby's answer was simple. "We both love basketball, we met in college, we had fun together, and we've been friends for a long time."

Wang Jun smiled: "When I was at my worst, Abby helped me in Ann Arbor, and when you had nothing, an angel-like person appeared to trust you and help you, of course you will fall in love with her." ”

The reporter asked, "When are you two going to get married?" ”

Abby shook her head. "We didn't think about it for a while, we're all young and we should focus most of our energy on our careers."

Wang Jun nodded in agreement, the current pace of life is already very fast, and marriage will make people feel stressful.

After the interview, Wang Jun led the team to a 122-93 victory over the 76ers at home that night.

The lead was too much, and Wang Jun got off work in the third quarter again, scoring 23 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The 4-13 76ers continue to sit at the bottom of the East. Iverson finished with 25 points and seven assists, making just 7-of-17 shooting and making a three-pointer. 10-of-11 from the free-throw line.

Three consecutive seasons of poor results, praise the "answer" indomitable will. There are fewer people who want to win and are spiritually invincible. Repeated defeats. After repeated defeats, Iverson's stats have become the only attraction for the 76ers.

After this game, the 76ers management was unwilling to wait any longer, even if the opponent's chips were lower, they would trade and send Iverson away as soon as possible.

The contradictions between the two sides have become irreconcilable.

On the one hand, Iverson kept forcing the palace, asking for a trade to bring big-name stars to assist him, saying that he would leave if he didn't have a good teammate, and on the other hand, he told fans that he was willing to stay with the 76ers.

General manager Bili Kim thinks that he is clearly using loyalty as a weapon to kidnap the team and put the management in a quagmire. Send Iverson away. It's to force the hero who entered the finals away, and if he doesn't send him away, he has to be traded, or I'm sorry for him.

From a fan point of view, Iverson is a fearless hero, the strongest short scorer who can still play with an injury at N points, and is a four-time scoring champion.

But from the management's point of view, the forced methods used by Iverson and his agent are too unpleasant!

Billikin called a meeting of management to discuss Iverson's business.

"Send Iverson away. The team's ratings will go down, there will be fan dissatisfaction, but we can rebuild and we can free up salary space to poach people in the free market. Iguodala can be cultivated. What do you think? Do you send him away now, or do you just drag it out and continue to pick a high-pick rookie next season? ”

"I suggest sending it away immediately." Head coach Maurice Cheeks was the first to respond. "I promise to just send Iverson away. It can build the team into a defensive powerhouse and return to the playoffs next year. If I can't, I'll resign next year. ”

On the surface. Cheeks is gambling with his future, which is not the case.

The 76ers have changed five coaches in ten years, and none of them have been successful except for Larry Brown. Cheeks had a poor start to the season and if Iverson didn't leave, he would have gone and wouldn't have waited until the end of next season.

At worst, he can work for an extra year, retreating. At the same time, he also made it clear that he no longer wants to coach Iverson.

Assistant manager Courtney also said: "Trade him, whether it's a couple of role players or draft picks." We can also buy out Webb in the middle of the year and develop new talents, and we have a future next season. ”

Others also said that none of them wanted to keep Iverson.

The hero in the hearts of the fans is a trouble in the hearts of the management, and the contradictions between the two sides have never ended.

Since the day Iverson entered the league, he has been constantly fighting with people. He fights with his opponents on the field, fights with the media off the field, fights with his teammates and management internally, and fights with his wife at home.

In 1996, Iverson just arrived at the 76ers and competed with Stackhouse for the boss, and the two had beautiful data, and the team just didn't win.

Iverson always says that there are no good teammates, why?

Larry Hughes was the eighth pick in the first round by the 76ers. Because of Iverson's insurmountable mountain, Hughes had no ball possession or shooting opportunities at all, so he could only be a defensive blue-collar player, averaging less than 20 minutes per game until he was sent away.

Kukoc, Mutombo, Haplin, Van Horne, Webb, etc., that's not counting the banned "Big Dog" Robinson...... The 76ers never stopped looking for help for Iverson.

What Iverson gave back to the 76ers was a Finals, a terrific victory against the Lakers, and then he saw the other side win the cup. After Larry Brown was squeezed away, the 76ers couldn't even make the playoffs.

If this is not an unsympathetic sending away a hero, but a substandard core who can't lead the team to win, can only play good statistics with personal heroism and poor defense, who will vote against it?

Billikin nodded and said, "Okay, we have missed the Celtics in the summer, and the only remaining trade partners are the Timberwolves and Nuggets, so I will take the initiative to contact them." ”

After Iverson was put on the shelf, there were many rumors, and there were only two that actually contacted the 76ers.

As for the Rockets trading Maddie for Iverson, Rockets boss Alexander likes Maddie very much and doesn't like Iverson at all.

Maddie is at least tall there. How do Iverson and Yao Ming pair up? Let Yao Ming pull out to block and dismantle him? Iverson's height makes it difficult to do a good job of lobbing the ball, and he's never played that much.

What's even more tragic is that Iverson's three-point shot is very poor, and if Yao plays the list, Iverson will have to watch the excitement on the periphery.

Billy King contacted the Timberwolves first, and the other party didn't have any good chips at all. Ricky Davis, Mike James, Mark Blunt, Mark Jaric? These people are all rotten contracts.

The expiration of Davis' contract could free up salary space, but how could the 76ers trade the star to clear the salary space?

What Billy King proposed was Randy Foyeh plus two first-round picks, but the Timberwolves didn't agree, Foye was their only young man with development value, and the team was ready to rebuild, how could it be possible to send draft picks?

Billikin contacted the Nuggets again, and the two sides discussed it in the summer.

Nuggets manager Mark Vakentine had expressed interest in Iverson in February, and this time the 76ers reached out, and he was not in a hurry.

He sat on the ground and was ready to trade the star for the least price.

Carmelo Anthony has been in very good form at the World Championships, leading the NBA scoring charts this season with an average of 31.8 points per game, and the Nuggets are in no hurry to find another scorer.

In the summer, Vakentine was willing to take two first-round picks, and veteran Andre Millega Joe Smith, who has two years left on his contract, is now looking to trade the picks for a first-round pick and a second-rounder.
