Basketball UFO

Chapter 60 The transaction begins

(ask for support)

Carter really likes Hugh Hefner's fake confusion. He obviously pays attention to basketball often and will go to Los Angeles to watch games, but he pretends not to watch basketball.It's like a person who loves money the most and says he is not interested in money.

However, as the owner of the Playboy Group, he has a bit of a grand look and is willing to share various models with Carter.Also advises Carter on potential car endorsements.

Hugh Hefner has used a lot of cars. When he was young, he didn't know how to drive. When he was old, he couldn't keep up with his physical strength. He was very envious of Carter's physical condition.

"Next time, there will be more handsome advertisements. I plan to give you an exclusive interview in the publication, but you don't have enough energy now. At least, win the championship!" Hugh Hefner said goodbye to Carter with a smile. Expressing his expectations, he also wants to see players in the NBA challenge Jordan's hegemony. Carter may be the best choice. "Take good care of your engine. Athletes need this. It's really jealous."

"I will definitely, please continue to ask for advice next time." Carter waved his hand and turned around gracefully.

Originally, 3 and a half days were reserved for the Playboy Group, but in the end the itinerary was shortened to nearly two days.Here, Carter did not participate in many outdoor activities, either shooting commercials or driving with Hefner.

In the past two days, not to mention that Hefner couldn't stand up anymore, even Carter was exhausted. Hefner drove a car, and Carter would drive four or five cars to enjoy the scenery by the sea.

After filming the new commercial, feel the taste of the sea and taste all kinds of seafood.It has to be said that celebrities are rich and have many ways to order. They can order a wide variety of seafood, whether it is fresh or other tastes, they can satisfy them.

"Vince will continue to grow, he has more than basketball in his head, and he will succeed." Hefner looked at Carter's speeding car and muttered to himself, "The platform of the Nets is a little smaller, if In New York, that would be great."

In less than half a year after signing the contract, Carter has created more than 180 million US dollars in sales for Playboy, and this is only the case in the US market.There are also the Canadian market, the Mexican market, and the European market, with a total sales of more than 400 million U.S. dollars. If the Southeast Asian market is added, the revenue will be close to 500 million U.S. dollars.

No wonder Playboy is willing to spend a lot of money for Carter, and the recovery ratio is quite amazing.Next season, as Carter's popularity grows further, the Playboy will make even more money.

All the time Carter saved was taken away by KFC’s new commercial.

KFC is going to continue to seize McDonald's market share, go to Tennessee, and directly use the local scenery to shoot new advertisements.

"Vince, your performance this season is amazing, you almost overturned the Bulls." KFC's advertising director usually pays attention to basketball and is full of praise for the performance of the Nets, "The Bulls played fiercely with the Jazz, but today is the first Six games, the Jazz lost, they couldn't limit Jordan."

The same is true.Regardless of whether it was the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals, Jordan didn't feel frightened. He was shocked by Carter in the semifinals.

The TV was still broadcasting the sixth game of the finals. Carter looked at the screen, and it was the last moment.The score between the two sides was very anxious, and the Bulls and Jazz tied.

Carter looked at the familiar scene. It was very familiar and felt very special.Is Jordan becoming a god this season?

The rhythm of the game is similar, but not quite, Carter can't remember clearly.

The two sides entered the final moment, the score became 86:87, and the Bulls were 1 point behind.

In the last 8 seconds, Jordan controlled the basketball and faced Russell's defense.Jordan broke through to the right, suddenly pulled back, stepped back with the ball, and succeeded in a jump shot.At this time, Russell just lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Jordan beat the Jazz.

Parallel time and space does not seem to be a lore. Maybe the Jazz are stronger than parallel time and space, forcing the Bulls to use the lore to win the game.

The Chicago Bulls won the championship trophy this season, and Jordan won the FMVP. After retiring and coming back, he won the championship for two consecutive years, and his dominance is still strong.

This is Jordan's path to becoming a god.

"Michael should be the greatest player in basketball." The commentator finally spit out these words, and Michael Jordan became the representative of basketball.

Carter walked out and let out a long breath. Jordan really won the championship again, and he was really irresistible.

The Nets have tried their best to steal two victories. Under normal circumstances, the Bulls will not sweep their opponents, but will let their opponents earn a game.The Nets defeated the Bulls in the first game, which was a humiliating game that the Bulls did not expect, and then Carter's ultra-long-range lore in the fourth game was also a surprising performance.

"The gap with the Bulls is obvious, but it's not insurmountable. It's just that the Bulls won't give me time." Carter thought to himself as he boarded the plane back to Florida.

Port St. Lucie, where Carter attended a Converse canvas shoe launch.

"Ah, Vince, I love you!" Thousands of enthusiastic fans in the audience, especially female fans, shouted Carter's name crazily.

Almost everyone wears the canvas shoes endorsed by Carter. The neutral design makes many girl fans like this shoe, which is quite cool.

Punk girls like it the most.

"Eh? It's strange. Why do I always feel that Carter is very handsome when I see him on the court, but he feels more ordinary when I see him here?" Some unenthusiastic fans thought of the key point, Carter does not seem to be a top handsome guy.

"He's handsome in general. Of course he looked handsome when he was playing. At that time, Carter dunked the most stylishly and dominated the game."

As everyone knows, fans will think Carter is more handsome next season.The players recruited during the offseason are all ugly enough. The uglier the teammates are, the more they can set off Carter's handsomeness.

Just like taking pictures in the team, or when players walk together, Carter likes to walk with Cassel. Under the reflection of "alien", Carter is handsome and personable.

"Vince, tell me about your summary of the past season?" The host was looking for topics on the stage, and the fans cheered from the audience.

Although it is a footwear conference, it is actually a fan meeting.

"The Nets have always been an upwardly mobile team. Last season, we made it to the playoffs and into the second round. Next season, we hope to go further and keep moving forward." Carter did not waste any time. Time, last season has passed, there is no point in bragging about your own strength.

Even if he was selected as an All-Star in his rookie season, and entered the second team of the best team, ranked second in scoring, he easily won the best rookie.But Carter doesn't care. Without a championship, the rest doesn't make much sense.

The significance of the championship lies in its scarcity. There is only one championship trophy in a season, and only 12 players in a team get the reward.

"When will the Nets win the championship? Or, when will you lead the team to win the championship?" The reporter asked, the fans were very excited, and they didn't know why they were excited, but they were just hi.

"I have been leading the Nets towards the championship, but the Nets do not have the strength to win the championship. Every road that carries the team to the championship is full of thorns. I will always work hard and contribute the most exciting performance to the fans. .” Carter raised his finger and pointed at the fans, and thousands of fans cheered again.

This small conference was originally arranged for only 300 people. Unexpectedly, 3000 people poured into the street, scaring the local police enough.The atmosphere was okay to see, and the police did not drive away the enthusiastic fans.

Several police officers were smoking nearby. "These athletes are so popular. My wife started to pay attention to basketball. He said Carter is his favorite."

"Wow, I like Carter too. Carter is a native of Florida, but it's a pity that he didn't play for the Heat, otherwise the Heat will win the championship this year. You see, Carter can play 6 games against the Bulls with the Nets. Mourning Working with Hardaway, only played 5 games against the Bulls."

Seeing that the fans were about to leave, the police returned to work, yelling at the black fans and chasing the antelope.

"Gan, these notes are so disgusting. They look like a bitch. I went shopping for zero yuan at night..."

"Let's go together. Vince's sneakers and canvas shoes are so good-looking. I can't wear them without them!" Another dark-skinned guy was very excited. He wanted more than one pair, and three or five pairs were not too many. "Hey , and Playboy’s inner library, it’s so touching.”

"Let's go, Maiga De bless you and me."

Carter kept signing autographs for enthusiastic fans, and finally finished greeting the fans and was about to leave.At this time, a young girl rushed over quickly, holding a book, "Vince, don't go, just sign it for me."

Like the younger sister, she is about the age of graduating from elementary school. If European and American girls are not generally precocious, Carter would think his age up a few years. He is really familiar, with exquisite facial features and a very arrogant personality.

"Huhu, that's great. Vince, I've finally caught up. I'm your fan. Please sign for me." The girl stared at Carter, feeling delighted to see her idol.

Carter smiled slightly, "School should be on holiday, right?"

"Oh..." The girl was surprised that such a famous star as Carter was so easy to get along with, "Yes, I only arrived in Florida last year, and I used to live in Rockwood City, you know, Tennessee."

"I know, I just came over there." Carter took the notebook, with the pen in his hand hanging in the air, "Is it written here?"

"Yes", the girl suddenly pulled up the white T-shirt, indicating that there is still room to sign, "If you don't mind, sign my name on the clothes too? I am your most ardent fan, and I love you very much!"

"Thank you, I will continue to give the fans beautiful basketball performances." Carter was about to leave again.

The girl rushed in front of Carter again, summoning up her courage, "Vince, I used to go to a Catholic school, and I've never had any contact with boys. I hope I can get your hug?"

Carter paused for a moment. A girl who is only 150 tall is quite courageous.Carter looked at Mucci, who had just gotten into the car and signaled Carter not to worry.The best way to deal with fans is to be kind, which will attract more fans.

You can't have a female celebrity come over to say hello, and then slap her, right?This kind of hype is indeed relatively rare.

Carter knelt down and said to the little girl, "Okay, I believe you will get the joy of learning!" and then gave her a small hug.

The girl jumped up excitedly, "Great, I will always remember this day." She shouted at Carter's back, "Vince, I love you..."

What happened just now is just a recent episode. There are fanatical fans everywhere, and Carter has already seen a lot.

The phone rang again, it was Tim Duncan.This guy wanted to chat with Carter again. He was very quiet in front of others, but in front of Carter, he was so coquettish that it made people speechless.The boring guy is like Duncan.

"Fei, the 25th draft pick, you sit with me in the little green room? Anyway, it won't be long, and I will be selected at the beginning stage."

"Hey, too short a time is not good for your health." Carter retorted, he was the seventh overall pick, which is not too slow. Duncan, the number one pick, was the first to come out, "Tracey also asked me to follow him. I went to the draft together, and I turned them all down."

"why?"

"Please, I'm a famous star. Entering the little green room with you young people, I will attract all the attention. It's not good for your stardom." Carter's business sensitivity is much higher than Duncan's.

Although Duncan was strong and well-paid, his commercial value was not high, and the league did not promote him as a signature player. He had a brilliant career, but he did not earn much money, and even part of it was taken away by Abby.

Duncan thought about it, and it seemed reasonable, so he didn't force it, "Actually, it's enough for Abby to follow me to the little green house."

Carter didn't want to talk about it when she was passionately in love.He could only remind Duncan to spend more time with his girlfriend and create more romance.If you have no money, companionship is unnecessary; if you have money, women still want you to accompany them all the time...

John Nash and Calipari are also picking up the pace, starting to contact the player agent, ready to start.

Not long after Charles Oakley finished the Eastern Conference finals, he heard from Ben Wallace that Carter wanted him to join the Nets.Oakley called Carter himself, "Vince, I'm glad you thought of me. But I still have a contract with the Knicks. In New York and New Jersey, you must know that players will choose New York."

"That's for sure, Charles, and I'm glad you told me that. As of now, I hope we can still fight together in the future."

"There will definitely be a chance, man, you will definitely succeed in the league," Oakley thought clearly. Both the Knicks and the Nets reached the Eastern Conference semifinals. It is relatively slow, which suits his style of play. If he goes to the Nets, he will have to change his style of play to adapt to Carter. Maybe he can't do it.

Even if he joins the Nets, can he guarantee a starting position?Rasheed Wallace is the starting center, he moves quickly and can stretch space; Jason Williams is the starting power forward, or is he a New Jersey native with a fan base, who will he replace?

Charles Oakley did not choose to join, and his contract will expire next season, so he must be in a familiar environment to ensure data.

Tony Masenberg is also considering a better offer. The price given by the Nets is only $150 million for two years, which has not reached his expected value.

The draft hasn't started yet, but player trading has already begun.

[Digression: The relationship between Carter and McGrady in the previous chapter was translated from a crappy English, so the phrase grandma’s father-in-law appeared, but it should actually be grandma’s father-in-law. In English, grandma and grandma seem to be the same word .In this way, five servers may be released. It must be a distant relative. In terms of seniority, McGrady is actually twice as old as Carter. Since Carter is already a cousin, let's continue to watch. 】
