New York, New Jersey, Nets press conference room.

John Nash sits in the middle, with three new players sitting on either side. He consciously does a lot of things and makes introductions happily.

The more than 10 reporters who were invited were confused. Who are these players?No one really recognized them.

Of the three new players, except for one who is a rookie this year, the other two have actually played in the league, but they have never seen it before. They are unknown players at first glance.

"This is Stephen Jackson, the 40th pick in this year's Nets draft, a future member of the Nets." John Nash pointed to Stephen Jackson.

The future "Martial Saint", Stephen Jackson already has many tattoos. He looks unruly but a little shy, with his facial organs squeezed together.The young and mature skin is tightly knitted together, like a chrysanthemum that has not yet bloomed.

"This is Ben Wallace, 1996 draft pick, oh, no, undrafted. Ben spent one season with the Washington Bullets and has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA." John Nash introduced Ben excitedly , he felt that Ben was recognized by John Calipari and should contribute some strength on the defensive end.

In any case, he was also a player in the 1996 draft. Even if he lost the draft, he has been polished in the league for a year, so there should be something.At least this body is on the defensive end and will add thickness to the inside line.

But the reporter didn't buy it, and the reaction was very cold, because I had never heard of the player Ben Wallace.And the whole person looks stupid, with a ditch hairstyle on his head, looks like 2 meters tall, but he is still a center player, unreliable, no matter what.

Another Wallace, Rasheed Wallace has heard of it. After all, he has played in the Nets for nearly half a season. He has good strength and cooperates well with Carter.

Ben Wallace stared at the reporters in the audience with a calm face.It would be better if the reporter didn't know him, so as not to report indiscriminately, and it would be even more troublesome if he didn't play well.

He just came to play, not to flatter reporters.More importantly, the Nets gave him a two-year contract with a total price of 150 million US dollars.Similar to the contract of Tony Masenberg, Masenberg was dissatisfied, left directly, and signed with the Grizzlies.

"The other big guy looks unfamiliar." The reporters in the audience whispered, really admire the Nets, where did these players get them, "Listen, who is it. He should have played ball too, and he doesn't look like he didn't Experienced."

John Nash introduced the last player, named Eric Mobley, who is 211cm tall and plays the center position on the court.He played for the Vancouver Grizzlies last season, averaging 2.6 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.He didn't play very well. He was still the 1994th pick in the first round of 18. He was selected by the Bucks that year. He averaged no more than 5 points and 4 rebounds per game. He wasted two years in Vancouver and was given up by the Grizzlies.

At this moment, the Nets signed him just to increase the height of the inside.There is also interior defensive strength.Eric Mobley doesn't seem to have enough quality beyond just average defense.

"We believe that Eric will give us enough inside strength." John Nash introduced vigorously.

The reporters didn't know who he was talking about, they really didn't know him.The Vancouver Grizzlies really don't have any popularity. After joining the third overall pick in 1996, many people have forgotten that his name is Sharif Abdul-Rahim.

It is worth mentioning that Eric Mobley’s son is more advanced and will also enter the NBA in the future. His name is Evan Mobley. He will enter the league as the third overall pick in 2021 and join the Cleveland Cavaliers.Also selected to the All-Defensive Team.

There was nothing provocative about the press conference.The reporters were very disappointed. The so-called reinforcement of the Nets turned out to be such a ghost, and they couldn't even name a player.

"The Nets still need to strengthen!" The media said in unison.

"Besides Carter, it is difficult for the Nets to find a second strong point, and they need to continue to add strong players."

"If you want to compete for the championship, you must continue to strengthen your strength. The Nets have a long way to go."

Even the local fans in New Jersey couldn't stand it and called on the team to continue to strengthen.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it has increased its strength. Without Tony Massenberg, all the people it attracts are cats and dogs.

In any case, Ben Wallace and Stephen Jackson joined the Nets as they wished and can play with Carter on the same team.Eric Mobley got the contract he wanted and could stay in the NBA.

In parallel time and space, Eric Mobley left the NBA next season and only played 4 seasons.It wasn't until his son entered the league that his name was remembered again.

The three of them will participate in the summer league first, spend more than a week to impress the coach, and work hard for the next season's playing time.

"Guys, where is Vince? I can't wait to meet him." Stephen Jackson was very excited when he heard that Carter had requested him. He had long wanted to meet Carter and give him a loving hug.

"Please, Vince just called me yesterday. He is on vacation and will not return to the team." Big Ben quickly showed off. He felt that he had a close relationship with the team boss and had a sense of superiority. "But I ended up in the summer league. Later, I will meet Vince and train with him."

"Wow..." Stephen Jackson was filled with envy, "Can you take me with you? I will work very hard."

At this moment, Wu Sheng is like a newcomer who has just entered the workplace, full of passion and eager to make progress.

"Take good care of your body, don't worry. The team is already very strong. We need to be clear about our positioning. We are all substitutes." Da Ben taught Jackson, and then greeted Mobley, "Did you choose your jersey number? I plan to choose No. 3 .”

Originally Big Ben wanted No. 30, which was the same as his number in the Bullets. Unfortunately, this jersey was already worn by Rasheed Wallace, so he couldn't help but increase his interest in another Wallace.

Within the Nets, Carter's No. 15 is the most popular, and it is also the Nets' best-selling jersey. It is also ranked No. 12 in the league and sells very well.Kendall Gill is No. 55, Jason Williams wears No. 10, and Sam Cassell returns to No. [-], the same number he wore with the Rockets.

Among the substitute players, Robert Pike wore the No. 13 jersey, which made a difference.McDaniels wears jersey No. 34, and there is no number conflict between players.

Moreover, the Nets' team history is very thin, and there are no successful years. There are less than 5 retired jerseys, and there are no restrictions on subsequent players' use, so they basically will not compete for numbers.

"I'm going to choose No. 32, which is the number of the center." Eric Mobley said timidly. He also heard that Ben and Carter had a good relationship, so he came to the Nets.

He himself seems to have arrived based on his strength, which is difficult to deal with and will probably not be easy to get around in the future.

Stephen Jackson thought for a while, "Otherwise I'd choose the No. 23 jersey!"

The Nets' No. 3 and No. 23 jerseys have been retired and belong to Drazen Petrovic and John Williams respectively. If the two defenders want to use their jersey numbers, they still need management approval.

However, the problem is generally not a big problem. The players with retired jerseys from the Nets are not superstars. Now that the Nets are thriving, the management will not make things difficult for players because of a jersey number.

While the Nets were strengthening, Duncan and McGrady also signed contracts with the Spurs and Raptors respectively.I also called Carter to announce the good news, thinking about celebrating it.

"I'm traveling around the world. When I go back, we can find time to get together." Carter patted the hot girl's butt and motioned for her to change her movements. "Now in Southeast Asia, the economy here has collapsed. It's really pitiful. Many girls are looking for Without action, I can only help them."

The words made both Duncan and McGrady break the defense, which made McGrady want to come and try.But like Duncan, he also has a girlfriend, and he doesn't dare to run around. Duncan also plans to marry Amy before entering the NBA.

Compared to them, Carter is alone and happy.

Carter's 1 million US dollars in funds are expected to become about 3 million US dollars. The Indonesian rupiah has not fallen much, but he was affected by the final impact of time, but the decline was the most terrifying, falling several times, so most of Carter's funds were Used to purchase Indonesian Rupiah.

On the contrary, the Thai baht is better, while South Korea and Japan are quite miserable.

"I came here to spend, in fact, to help them and save them from being homeless." Carter insisted on spending in US dollars, which was very popular.Even just pennies are up for grabs.

Carter went around Southeast Asia, had enough fun, and went to Australia for a few days.Not only participate in business activities, but also have personal life, both are correct.

The Adidas designer followed Carter to Singapore, took out the latest logo design, and discussed with Carter.

The shape of the logo has been adjusted. It was originally a deformed combination of the two letters "V" and "C" and "15". It doesn't feel like it. Carter's personal style is not reflected. The entire design does not match his personal image very well.

The new design is very unique. The position of the "C" has been adjusted, a bit like the image of a basket, a hanging basket, and then the shape of the "V" has also changed into a new image. The entire word V is almost upside down, like a leaping player stretching out his arms. After dunking, he inserts one arm into the basket of C.

With a little new shape, it looks like a slam dunk god with both offense and defense.Originally, Carter didn't like the shape of the dunk, but Adidas designers couldn't jump out of Carter's inherent impression, so they could only make such adjustments.

"If the lines were smoother, it would be almost the same." Carter looked at it and felt pretty good.

At least it is much more dynamic than the previous logo, and it can also make people feel Carter's vitality, which is more in tune with his personal image.

"After we adjusted, we arranged the production directly. We will make a batch of souvenirs first, and then print the logo on the new shoes." Adidas is very happy, has arranged the production line, and decided to use the clover label as Carter's exclusive brand.

"Remember to release it in the United States first." Carter thought for a while and reminded.Southeast Asia and even the whole of East Asia have been left half alive by the financial crisis. It is really not easy to sell shoes again, so they can only specialize in the European and American markets.

First develop the basic market, and then develop emerging markets.China showed its strength in this financial crisis and gradually became a major force in Asia, attracting the attention of the whole world. The next step was to join the World Trade Organization and enter a stage of rapid development.

In fact, the real good days have only passed about 20 years, not as long as imagined.

Carter did not return to the United States until late July to prepare for summer training.

In Las Vegas, Carter rented a training facility.It was used directly for special training, and he called the entire team over.

Before anyone else arrived, video editor Jamie moved all the equipment and then showed the video of Carter's game last season. The most important thing was the video analysis of the confrontation with Jordan.

"These clips are stolen, these clips are blocked. Although there are not many, they are representative." Jamie was not polite and directly revealed all Carter's "embarrassing things".

Carter watched the video and carefully considered his technical moves. His face was calm and he didn't feel unhappy at all.

Every player has the same moments.It's normal to be blocked, it's normal to be blocked and stolen, and he can change for the better.The purpose of summer special training is to refine his skills. In last season's series with the Bulls, Carter felt that his technical moves had many redundant tricks compared to Jordan's.

"Vince, your technical moves, especially your jump shot, have retained some power to cope with new changes. But there are still some problems that shouldn't appear. Of course, these are not problems for ordinary players." Jamie watched the video , constantly switching pictures to pick out the problem.

These small movements may not be a problem for other players, many of them are subconscious movements.But for Carter, that is the problem. He is more demanding than others and does not tolerate his own small problems.

"Ace, Dick, this summer, you two have polished my skills, and I think there will be changes before the start of next season." Carter took a deep breath, and the devil training is about to start!

The friends he invited have not arrived yet. Carter will have about half a month to train with his own team first, and then practice with his friends.

Carter has a characteristic. As long as the technical movements are carefully polished, it is easy to solidify and slowly become his own technique.The more you use it, the better you will become.

Every day is dull and boring.Spending time with a small team of 7 people is a very fulfilling day.

Mark Collins has a strict plan, with arrangements for almost every time period.

Dick Ace was in charge of offense and the other was in charge of defense, and captain Collins personally went into battle. The three of them armed themselves every day and confronted Carter with various equipment.Fortunately, there were two doctors with him, otherwise Carter would have been beaten to death by a group of people.

As long as there is a break, Wang Xiaolong and Aaron Nelson will help Carter relax his muscles so that the training effect can be better absorbed.

"If you want to improve your post-up ability, you may have to weigh about 3 kilograms more, but your bounce speed cannot drop, so that you can create a more terrifying matchup advantage." Mark Collins worked with several people to calculate the weight ratio that is most suitable for Carter. .

Carter now weighs 97 kilograms. If he reaches 100 kilograms, he will become unstoppable if he maintains his current jumping, speed and mobility.

"It's very difficult, and it's not easy to keep it on the same level."

"You can try it." Carter gritted his teeth and started another set of physical training.

Next season, he wants to be better.
