Chapter 15 Sales

Carter's appearance in the fourth quarter immediately broke up the Blazers' continuous scoring rhythm.

The extra penalty was also hit, and the score was 2+1.The Nets are still 1 point behind.

Sabonis was about to do it again, tossing and turning, and soon got out of the open space, tiptoeing for a layup.

Carter flew up from behind Sabonis, vacated at an almost abnormal height, and directly dropped the racket, cleanly covering the 221cm tall big center.

Seeing this scene, the Nets bench went crazy. Tony Massenberg and Robert Packer shook their towels seriously and screamed "woo woo woo".

The fans in the audience were even more excited, shouting "Carter" and "Carter".

"Falling from the sky, Carter can definitely fly." Some fans whistled, and their bodies and minds swayed with Carter.

"If Sabonis's knees are 200 years old, then Carter's knees are 20 years old at most, and their jumping ability is so amazing." The on-site commentator joked, "Carter's judgment on blocking shots is very good, and more importantly, he is concealed before blocking the shot. It’s so strong that Sabonis didn’t even notice it.”

"No way, who put springs in Carter's feet. This ball is so beautiful."

Sabonis was taken off the field directly. He was already very tired and had to be bullied by the juniors.Rasheed Wallace can't help but open his mouth so much that he can stuff a light bulb into it. "He's so physical that he's simply unstoppable."

Carter is still working hard to defend. Just blocking the ball just kicked the ball out of bounds, and the Nets did not get the ball.With 6 seconds left in the Blazers' attack, Kenny Anderson made a hasty shot and missed.

The rebound was controlled by Carter. After grabbing the ball, he immediately sent it forward. Cassel was already running, but he was not fast, and was caught up by Kenny Anderson.

Cassel ran to the basket easily and threw the ball behind his back. Someone was already following him. He didn't even need to look to know that Carter was catching up.

The tacit understanding between the two has been cultivated, and there is absolutely no problem.

Sure enough, it was Carter. He continued to accelerate while he was on the move, threw off Gary Trent who was following him, flew up again, and caught the ball in the air.

Holding the basketball in his right hand, he flew towards the basket. The fingers of his left hand were spread out and placed by his ear, as if he was preparing to listen to the shouts of the audience.

Straighten your right arm and hit the basket hard.The basketball and rim were once again abused by Carter's dunk.

Huge cheers broke out in the audience, and all the fans shouted together and sang Carter's praises together.

"God, I swear, after watching Nets games for ten years now, there are not as many beautiful dunks as there are in Carter's game."

"Carter was born to dunk. It's amazing, working directly in the air."

"Trapeze, Carter is a trapeze artist."

The on-site commentator was also shouting "beautiful". Carter continuously delivered beautiful dunks to the entire American fans, which has made countless people remember his name.

"Please remember his name, from Florida, graduated from Wake Forest University, 96 NCAA Final Four MOP, championship winner, No. 7 pick in this year's draft, owner of the Nets' No. 15 jersey, Vince Carter..." the commentator Members said Carter's name over and over again to make more people remember him.

He knows that even if he doesn't introduce Carter, countless people will remember Vince Carter's name. The game is broadcast live across the United States and has too many audiences. Moreover, fans can't help but fall in love with the passionate players when they see them. .

The Blazers were somewhat suppressed by Carter's momentum. In the next 2 minutes, they failed to score a point, and every attack was ineffective.

Rasheed Wallace was anxious on the sidelines and secretly cursed the head coach, "Get out of here so I can play. It's such a shame that I'm not a part of such a wonderful performance."

He looked at Carter, who hit another mid-range shot, and murmured to himself, "If I were on the court, I would never let him play so easily."

Sabonis was already off the court. He couldn't keep up with the pace of the game and had to rest.Clifford Robinson takes over at power forward, allowing Dudley to play center.

"Damn, how did this group of people become so tough?" Robinson found that whether it was Williams or Tony Masenberg, they had become very tough, and they had to fight for every ball, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Carter brought the game up, we can't admit it." Sean Bradley was also frantically stuck in position. Seeing a good position, Cassel suddenly passed the ball and hung it in the air.

Bradley made it just in time, but he didn't have great physical fitness. He used his fingers to touch the basketball a little and slid it into the net.

"If this ball was Carter, it must be another dunk. It's a pity that Bradley is so tall and plays like a softie."

"It's a pity that such a good alley-oop was ruined by Bradley." The fans are no longer satisfied. They want to watch exciting games and more classic alley-oops.

Bradley scored anyway, but he was still disliked.

Robinson tried hard, but it still didn't work. He passed it to Kenny Anderson and was guarded by Cassel. The Blazers' offensive rhythm was suddenly disrupted.

Both offense and defense were restricted, and then the momentum suddenly collapsed, and the entire team lost its energy.

The Nets took the opportunity to seize the lead, from 2 points to 4 points, and then to 8 points, already leading by 11 points.There are still 3 minutes before the end of the game, and the victory is basically sealed.

On the Blazers side, Carlesimo took the initiative to withdraw the main players and raised the white flag to admit defeat.

"Why don't you hold on for a while and let Carter perform another dunk?" Calipari was in a good mood. This game was very difficult. Fortunately, Carter's many wonderful dunks completely aroused the team's enthusiasm and aggression. .

The team came together and finally defeated the stronger Blazers.

Carter sat on the sidelines, covered his head with a hot towel, and watched Robert Parker perform.

"In this game, Carter scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. It was a perfect game."

"Please remember, this is this year's No. 7 pick, Vince Carter, a super star. So far this season, he has scored more than 22 points in all his games. It is a very rare adaptability."

It can be said that Carter has initially adapted to the rhythm of NBA games.The intensity of the Nets' game was not high in the opening stage, so Carter had more time to adjust, which was a good start.

After experiencing two consecutive losses, Carter still withstood the pressure and led the team to improve the winning percentage.

The next game is at home, against the weak Nuggets in the West.

"If you look at the current situation, it's hard to tell whether the Nets can make the playoffs, but there is hope."

"This season, the Celtics have given up. They must be thinking about joining Tim Duncan next year. Imagine Tim Duncan and Vince Carter at Wake Forest University, winning the championship together. Carter is so strong , what kind of strength will Duncan be?"

"David Robinson of the Spurs is injured and may be reimbursed for the season, and their record will also be affected. There are also the Philadelphia 76ers. The effect of Iverson's leadership is not good. He is still adapting to the rhythm of the NBA and has not yet found the rhythm. Winning direction.”

The commentator talked eloquently and analyzed the situation. It seems that if the Nets play every game well, they really hope to enter the playoffs.

In the East, the Celtics are in a bad situation. The 76ers and Raptors rookies lead the team, and the record is definitely not good. On the contrary, Carter is more adaptable and has led the team to continuous victories.

"In any case, among the rookies, Carter is the one who adapts the best and performs the best. Iverson, Camby and Raheem all failed to find the direction of victory."

As the commentator talked, he was unconsciously conquered by Carter's performance.He can perform 30+ points in a row at the beginning of the game and attract fans with dunks. This is not something ordinary stars can do.

After the game, many fans walked into Adidas and Converse stores all over the United States, and they asked, "Which model is Carter's shoe?"

"Are these Carter's boots?"

"Buy, must buy. Carter's dunk is too strong, and his performance is too amazing, super rookie, he will become a superstar."

"I have been impressed by Carter, I am his fan. I have never seen so many wonderful dunks in a game, tsk tsk tsk... endless aftertaste."

Dan Fagan sent recent sales figures to John Mudgee for a market analysis.

After the live broadcast of the game across the United States, the sales of Carter's sneakers and No. 15 jersey skyrocketed, and the sales volume in one day was greater than that in the previous 1 days.

"Vince, I found out that you are popular. You will definitely be regarded as a football star. It's great." Mucci clenched his fist excitedly and waved it a few times. "The next step is to consider buying a villa or a luxury car. That's great."

"This sales data is exciting. It's less than one million pairs. If it's more than ten million pairs, then you can't fly?"

"Don't be so cool, okay? It's the first time you've come into contact with me. Of course you're excited." Mucci was very excited and drank a glass of wine. "As long as this sales trend is maintained, countless money will come. Vince, we are prosperous. .”

"Calm down, don't get too excited, if you have money, you have to be able to enjoy it."

Carter smiled slightly and didn't pay much attention to the data, as long as Adidas and Converse are ready to pay. Carter is sure to win all of the $8500 million contract.

According to his on-court data, as long as he stays healthy, he can average more than 25 points per game by the end of the season, and he may be elected to the All-Stars.At that time, you will have complete control and if you want to renew the contract, you will have to spend more money.

The predecessor has a very strong ability to carry goods, even the sales of retired jerseys are in the forefront, not to mention myself who has played wonderful statistics.It will only be stronger than its predecessor.

Especially for the national live broadcast, he must produce good data, and fans will intuitively regard him as a superstar. This is unquestionable fan recognition and can bring huge economic benefits.

"Huh? Why are you collecting these things?" Carter held a ball of paper, which turned out to be full of chewing gum, which looked very irritating.

"Hehehe, don't throw it away, don't throw it away, I marked it all." Mu Qi took it carefully like a baby, "Did you see it? This chewing gum was chewed by you in the first game, and it is commemorative. This One was chewed in the game against the Trail Blazers, and the dunks in the audience surprised the whole of the United States."

Mookie pulled them apart one by one and remembered clearly that each piece of chewing gum was given a story about Carter's growth. "Do you understand? When you become a superstar in the future, I will roll out the chewing gum. It will be a commemorative one. How many pieces will it sell for?" Thousands of dollars, it’s not a problem at all. The key is to add collectibles to your fans.”

Mu Qi was a sneaker dealer before, and now he still has a lot of sneakers in his collection. Unexpectedly, his thoughts are so delicate that he even thought of chewing gum.

Carter couldn't help but be impressed. The little agent he brought up was not bad. "Although it's a bit disgusting, your business acumen is really good. By the way, is there a chewing gum company that I can sign a contract with? I can make some money and give you some practice."

Mu Qi's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands. "What a great idea. I'll discuss it later. I will apply to Fei Gen for this matter and I will handle it directly so that I can accumulate work experience."

Carter signed a contract with Converse, and Fagan didn't make any money. He must have felt very uncomfortable. It's understandable that he could make up for it elsewhere.

Mucci did what he said, with high execution ability. After the game against the Nuggets, he found a chewing gum company for Carter and signed a small sponsorship of 20 US dollars.

When Carter played, he had to chew gum. When making free throws, he tried to display the gum so that more fans could see it.

The conditions are not difficult to meet, mainly because the amount of sponsorship is not high.

Just like the braces worn by stars, they are often held in their mouths during free throws for fans to appreciate.The effect of chewing gum is similar to that of braces.

Jordan couldn't sign a gum commercial, he used to stick his tongue out when he played.

In an away game against the Pistons, Joe Dumars and a healthy Grant Hill performed very well, limiting Carter's performance, and the Pistons won the game.

Back home against the visiting Mavericks.Everyone on the Net was holding their breath. The last game they lost to the Pistons was by single digits. This game must be won.

The 3J combination of the Mavericks in previous years was very unhappy because of jealousy over women, and it has disintegrated. Now that Jim Jackson is the boss, the entire team has a bad atmosphere and no cohesion.

Head coach Jim Clemons is also a novice and has little experience in leading a team. He challenges the Nets away from home and doesn't have much confidence.

"We will find ways to limit Carter's performance. As we all know, he is the fastest adapting rookie player in this class, and has a strong scoring ability. He is the leader of the Nets. We must find ways to limit him."

"Yes, Carter's dunk was very beautiful. So the Mavericks will guard the penalty area and will not let Carter fly." Jim Clemons secretly made a request.

"I will face Carter and defeat Carter. This is my responsibility." Jim Jackson stood up and issued a challenge.

Carter has become the focus of the opponent's attention. It is easy to restrict the Nets, as long as Carter can be restricted.

Calipari took Cassel to an interview, "We are on the right track, and the entire team still needs a little chemical reaction. I believe Carter and Cassel will bring about a chemical reaction."

Cassell is already an old bird, facing the media with evidence, "The Mavericks will definitely want to defend the penalty area and prevent Carter from dunking, but these will not trouble Carter. He has super jumping ability and will touch the basket."

Journalists love this kind of tit-for-tat competition.

Both sides are working hard to win.

Game start!
