At this time, assistant Tom suddenly knocked on Colangelo's office.
"Sir, this is today's New York Times." He handed over a large stack of newspapers and pointed to the top one.
"Is there any special news?" Colangelo heard Tom's tone and asked with some confusion.
"Sports section, there is news about Lao K."
Tom said something and then added: "It's the news and some information about his previous time in China."
Colangelo nodded and motioned for Tom to go out. Then he picked up the newspaper, turned to the sports section, and read it carefully.
"You were injured in a fight and jailed for a year?"
When he saw the middle, he understood that this was news that revealed old K's dirty stuff.
I then looked at the information that the writer of this news, named Rob Lundgren, personally went to China to investigate, and smiled bitterly. Is Mr. K being targeted by this reporter from the New York Times?
As for the experience of being imprisoned for fighting and wounding someone, now that Old K has become the team's main center, he doesn't care too much.
There are many NBA players who have served in prison.
Barkley served ten days in jail for drunk driving and several days in prison for fighting. Rodman of the Pistons served in prison for theft while working as a security guard at the airport. Arums of the Mavericks was sentenced to 9 for robbery.
Years, etc., the list goes on and on.
But this news is also very annoying. Although it cannot bring down Lao K, it will ruin his reputation.
On this day, the news that Wang Tiejun was imprisoned spread throughout the alliance, and everyone who should know knew it. Following the violent incident that had just happened in the past, he attracted attacks from the media.
Will Houston, the famous basketball commentator who continuously attacked and accused him, stood up again this time and said to the media:
"Look, what kind of garbage has our country and the NBA accepted? He was imprisoned for a year for causing serious injuries to many people in a fight. Is China rich in this kind of garbage?
Now I want to call on the alliance to expel him. We do not welcome this kind of garbage. His appearance has polluted our environment. Our air is sweet, but now it has become stinky because of Chinese garbage like him."
At five o'clock, at the Suns training base, the players, coaching staff, and trainers entered the restaurant to prepare for dinner.
After preparing the dishes, they ate in twos and threes while chatting, and some even read the newspapers prepared on the table.
"Kevin, do you think we can reach the finals this year?"
Buckley was cutting the steak while chatting with Kevin Johnson. After cutting it, he put down the knife and picked up a copy of the New York Times on the table and started reading.
"Last year we lost to the Trail Blazers in the second round. With you this year, we should be fine."
Kevin Johnson also picked up a newspaper and read, chatted and ate, doing three things at once.
"You eat without talking, you sleep without talking."
Wang Tiejun muttered, then concentrated on chewing his steak.
He picked it up and gnawed it directly, without cutting it at all. He found it troublesome. He was always made fun of by others these days, but now others are used to it.
"Hey, Old K, your news is on the front page of the New York Times' sports section again." Barkley said in surprise at this time.
"Still hyping up the fight? Hasn't it subsided these days?" Danny Ainge at the table next to him asked after hearing this.
"Let me take a look first, it doesn't seem like..."
There were not many words in total. After scanning it for a few seconds, Buckley understood that the New York Times was targeting Old K. However, he was also surprised and asked: "Old K, have you spent a year in China?"
prison?"
"What's going on?" Others were also surprised.
"..."
He had been concealing this experience, and when it was suddenly exposed, Wang Tiejun was startled, his brain could not react at all, and he was stunned.
Seeing Lao Wang's expression, Buckley smiled and said, "That's right, I've also been in jail, more than once."
"Damn it, I've been there for two days and it was speeding."
Kevin Johnson laughed: "That was before entering the league, I almost forgot."
"I've been in there too."
Richard Dumas, a rookie a few tables past, raised his hand and whispered.
"Rookie, why did you go in?" Buckley asked with a smile.
Richard Dumas laughed and said: "Malaysia, the police found an overdose of malaysia in my car."
"Damn it, you're not still using that thing now, are you?" Buckley scolded with a smile.
"No, of course not." Richard Dumas was a little flustered and quickly denied.
He regretted a little. He shouldn't have said it. The reason why he said it just now was because he wanted to get closer to Barkley and the others. The two bosses of the team have experienced imprisonment. If he hadn't, wouldn't he look different?
In fact, he no longer smokes big horses, but smokes more powerful ones, and he is addicted.
Wang Tiejun came to his senses. He felt much better when he heard that Buckley and the others had been there. He felt relieved when he saw that others did not react much to his imprisonment.
"Hey, there is news about Lao K here too."
Kevin Johnson muttered something again at this time, which made Wang Tiejun's nerves get aroused again.
"Kevin, what is it?" he asked quickly.
"Let me take a look first."
Kevin Johnson took a brief look at it, then put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Wang Tiejun: "Old K, it's Will Houston attacking you again. The remarks of people like him do not represent all Americans. You don't have to let go.
In my heart.”
"Who is Will Houston? Reporter? Did he say anything?" Wang Tiejun said in confusion.
He usually doesn't read newspapers because his reading and writing skills are not very good and it is quite difficult for him to read, so he usually doesn't read newspapers and only watches TV.
In the ten days since he moved to a rented house, he has become obsessed with adult channels. He watches those channels when he has time and doesn't care about the others.
Kevin Johnson regretted it. He shouldn't have said anything. Old K didn't know any better. Now it's better. I have to tell him.
"This bastard!" Wang Tiejun cursed.
Johnson told him some remarks about the reporter, and then Buckley told him that the reporter had repeatedly targeted him and asked him to be careful about what he said when facing the media in the future to avoid being caught.
In the evening, the Suns entered America West Arena.
The Hornets came in in the afternoon and used the arena for training. When the Suns went to the locker room, they happened to meet them returning to the locker room.
The core of the Hornets on the court is Larry Johnson, nicknamed Auntie, who was the No. 1 pick in 1991 and is in his second year this year.
He is also the team's leading scorer. In his rookie season, he scored 19.2113.6 All-Star statistics, and this season he has even produced 2210.54.3 superstar statistics, which is very strong.
Although he is not tall enough and is the same type of short power forward as Barkley, he has strong low-post singles ability.
Also, he is a boxer born on the streets.
However, the leader of the Hornets locker room is not Larry Johnson. His qualifications are not enough. The leader is Dell Curry. He entered the league in 1986. Although he is not an All-Star, he is still good. He has a three-pointer with a shooting rate of 40%.
ball.
The Hornets joined the NBA in 1988, and he also joined the Hornets that year. He is considered a veteran of the team. This season, he withdrew from the starting lineup and took on the role of sixth man.
