Chapter 59 059 Holiday Life
There is no doubt that John Mucci was rejected by the young Tracy McGrady.

McGrady hopes to find an experienced agent. After all, he is only a high school student. It is not easy to get a good draft pick.Mucci had no experience and no connections, so it was difficult to even arrange a trial training.

Mucci was not angry and readily agreed to tell Maddie the news to Carter.

Carter has arrived in Florida, ready to spend a week with his family.

Hearing Mu Qi's message to McGrady, he immediately called McGrady.

"Hello, Tracy. This is Vince Carter."

"Cousin..." McGrady was very excited when he heard Carter's voice.After Carter became famous, McGrady watched the Nets games many times. When he knew that he was related to Carter, he was even more happy.

Carter had a super performance in his rookie season, which made countless fans obsessed with him.Many young players will also learn Carter's movements, thinking about flying and escaping, dunking and winning.McGrady is just one of them. After he announced his participation in the draft, he wanted to contact Carter, but he has not been able to do so until now.

"I didn't even know we were cousins. I'm very happy that Mu Qi told me just now." Carter looked like someone who had come here.

Uh... Actually, they are quite distant relatives. Grandma Carter's father-in-law is Grandpa Maddie's brother, so that's probably the relationship.I don’t know if the fifth server has been released.

In short, McGrady knows that there are relatives who have succeeded in the NBA, so it goes without saying.

"This summer, you are going to participate in the draft. Are you ready? Don't pay too much attention to the draft pick. The most important thing is to work hard after entering the league."

"I know, I will work hard. I hope I can be selected in the top ten picks." McGrady is looking forward to his future. He is also eager to succeed and wants to become another rising star in the league.

"For college students, the NBA may be relatively easy to adapt to. For high school students, the NBA is very intense. Your most important task is to polish your body first, and don't rush to play good numbers." Carter reminded McGrady, let him start from Starting with defense, focus on polishing your body first, and your personal data will come naturally.

"Cousin, I still hope to be on the same team as you, haha"

"There will be a chance, but the Nets don't have a first-round pick this year. I believe you will be selected in the top ten."

The days when Carter was resting, the NBA East and West finals continued.

The Bulls defeated the Heat with a big score of 4:1 and reached the finals again.The Rockets in the three old towns lost to the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals, and the Jazz will join forces with the Bulls.

"Playing against the Heat seems to be easier than playing against the Nets." Jordan said helplessly that playing against the Heat was not challenging and the victory was expected.

Two victories were stolen by Carter, which made the competitive Jordan resentful.The Nets are just a new team. They have just been polished and can steal two wins from him. If they are allowed to mature, won't they suppress the Bulls?

When a reporter asked Jordan if the Bulls would be defeated by the Nets in the future.Jordan smiled, "It will definitely happen in the future. No team can stay at the top forever, just like the Celtics back then. They won eight consecutive championships, but now they are not in a good situation either."

"I know what you're asking. Carter won't beat me. I might retire next season, hahaha... and the Nets haven't grown up yet. It's that simple."

Jordan directly exposed the idea of ​​​​retirement, which did not surprise anyone.This year, news spread that there are many conflicts between the Bulls players and the management. Both Phil Jackson and Jordan want a greater right to speak, but the management does not give it, especially Klaus, who has been suppressing them to control the team. .

As it turns out, Krause may be right.Regardless of whether he was the boss or the management team, Jordan failed to show an invincible performance on the court. He led the Hornets in a mess, and chose Kwame Brown, the number one pick in the Wizards.

The East and West finals were played between the Bulls and the Jazz.

The Bulls are about to win their fifth championship.

Carter has been hanging fish in Florida for a few days, bored, and started running around the world, participating in business activities with sponsors.

Adidas and Converse were the most active, arranging for Carter to travel to Europe, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.Of course, the Huaxia market has not yet opened, and Carter's trip to East Asia has been arranged to go to Japan.

Tim Duncan doesn't seem to need trial training, and he has often called Carter in recent days.

He kept saying that he didn't care about the draft ranking...

"Okay, if I were the general manager of the team, I would choose you as the No. [-] pick no matter what." Carter didn't bother to listen to Duncan's pretentiousness. He hasn't entered the NBA yet. If he succeeds, it's fine.

Duncan didn't take Jordan seriously. He had his own routine and was successful. If he hadn't suffered a serious injury in 2000 and weakened to a floor player, Duncan might have won more championships.

"Vince, when will the Nets meet the Spurs next season?" Duncan seemed to want to teach Carter a lesson.

Carter rolled his eyes, and already regarded himself as a Spurs player.Next season, David Robinson will return, and the Spurs will still be a strong team. With the twin towers inside and Sean Elliott on the outside, it is really possible to win the championship.

"Okay, I know that your twin towers are awesome, but you have to be able to rush out of the west." Carter hung up the phone, wouldn't you have a good trial training?Does the champion not have to participate in trial training?

Japan, Adidas themed event.

Carter did not expect the Japanese fans to be so enthusiastic, and his popularity was quite high. Many people came from all over Japan to cheer for Carter.

"It turns out that there are so many people who care about basketball in Japan." Carter couldn't help expressing emotion, thinking that their lives were just monotonous little movies.As well as the unchanging bloodline, the rigid class, sushi making sushi for generations, and calling themselves "Sushi Immortal"...

I didn't have any rest in the middle of the night, and girls kept touching the hotel.Carter is not an ordinary person and usually refuses.

Mucci was very excited. What Carter didn't want, in his opinion, was picked up for nothing. If you don't do it, you don't do it for nothing. In three days, you have done enough.My feet were weak, my body almost collapsed, and the pace of business activities couldn't keep up.

"Vince, why are you so tired from activities in Japan? Damn, I can't even walk." Mucci complained to Carter quietly, "How can you bear it so much? Are you not interested in girls with short legs?"

"That's not true. These days I've been playing with well-known Japanese singers." Carter shrugged. Now that he's a little famous, he's becoming picky. "Your vision is different, and you will be picky in the future."

When Carter just graduated from high school, he traveled everywhere and played all over the United States.I also spent more than half a month wandering around and experiencing the customs of different places.

I've used it a lot, and I think it's just that interesting.

Start getting picky.

"Huh, I'm not as strong as you." Mucci is still in a low-level state, "By the way, I wanted McGrady to follow me before, but he refused. Hehe, it's quite smart. I know I have no experience. But I may There are players following me!"

"kindness?"

"Jason Williams, didn't you expect that? Next season will be his contract year, and he desperately wants good data so that he can negotiate a big contract."

Carter took a deep breath, not expecting Jason Williams to be so smart.He knew that Mu Qi had a good relationship with him. For the next season's data, he was ready to sign a contract with Mu Qi and invite Mu Qi to be an agent.In this way, Carter will naturally take care of Williams on and off the court.

"If you let him grab the rebounds well and become the rebounding champion, you can get tens of millions of annual salary." Carter patted Mucci on the shoulder, "Don't embarrass me."

"I know that he chose me as an agent because of you. But no matter what, I have to remember his love. I will try to find the biggest contract for him next season." Mucci is full of enthusiasm, "Recently There are also many Japanese companies that want to sign contracts with you."

"As long as you have enough money, I don't mind. It's fine with the Toyota Group. It's better to find a sports car for the car endorsement." Carter thought for a while, and reminded Mucci, "American sports cars are also fine, and you can't just focus on European ones. Ferrari Already looking for Jordan to endorse, we can't get any benefits."

"I get it!" The pressure is high, and there's no room for loss.If he participates in Carter's endorsement, Mucci will have a small commission, and more importantly, he will have experience in negotiating large contracts.

Carter didn't understand the details, he only knew the general direction, and he could judge the general direction accurately.

After leaving Japan, the summer business activities came to an end.

I returned to the United States and shot a few more commercials.Adidas sent Carter's exclusive LOGO shape and asked Carter to make suggestions.

A fairly beautiful LOGO, which incorporates the first letters of Carter's name: V and C, as well as Carter's jersey number, No. 15.The shape is very unique, like a medal.

Carter praised the design, saying it was very beautiful, "but there is one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable, that is, the design is too complicated and does not match my style."

Carter's ideal design is a simple and smooth symbol. He pursues simple technology without thinking about complicating things.

The designers keep recording Carter's suggestions, and they will continue to revise them when they go back. Even though the design has been revised more than 20 times, it is still not perfect.

"Do you want to incorporate the dunk factor? Your dunk has become a label."

Carter thought for a while, "I still don't want it, I don't want to be regarded as a dunk general. In the near future, I will fight for the championship."

Adidas also showed Carter its signature sneaker production line, which has already been launched in Southeast Asia, but it will have to wait until the new season to launch new sneakers.

Exclusive color scheme, exclusive production line, Adidas is going to give Carter's star a new name as a secondary brand.

"I don't understand these things, as long as you give me enough money." Carter joked, "I would rather wear new shoes sooner, so that I can get a few more points."

"I need more dunks. The sneakers are particularly conspicuous when dunking." The Adidas representative was very happy and is already looking forward to Carter's next season. "The company is preparing to re-introduce clover. As a high-end brand, we are discussing whether to include your sneakers with clover." range, as the flagship brand.”

Carter didn't express his position, but cared about the inside of the sneakers, "The elastic design, there shouldn't be any disputes, right? I'm quite used to your technological innovations, so don't cause problems."

"No, we'll be watching closely."

Converse has launched a new style of canvas shoes. They focus on walking and can't wait for the new season.Carter's ability to attract money must be used to make another fortune.

Mucci looked through Carter's itinerary diary, "After the finals and before the draft starts, you still have a few activities. Playboy is going to shoot three new commercials, and KFC wants you to go to Tennessee to help with their new store. Shooting an exclusive commercial?”

Sponsors give money, and Carter has to devote time and energy.

Life during the holidays is not easy at all, it is better to train hard.
