The 1997-98 season is about to begin.

In parallel time and space, the Bulls won the championship this season, Jordan won his sixth championship and then retired.The Bulls disintegrated when they were still immersed in the excitement of the championship... This kind of thing should be called the Bulls' advantage.Then two weeks later, the NBA closed its venues, teams and players fell into conflicts of interest, and fans were hurt the most.

Now, everything is still running normally.Each team played several preseason games.

The Nets' preseason is smooth and stable, the team lineup has not changed much, the supplementary players are all substitute players, the main lineup remains intact, and the strength of the players has improved.

Not only Carter, but the two insiders Rasheed and Williams, plus Kendall Gil and Cassell, all trained crazily during the offseason.Carter didn't like the taste of failure, and even brought the spirit of the whole team together, vowing to break through the haze of failure.

"No, I have to get the best data in the new season, otherwise I can't get a big contract." Jason Williams fired his previous agent and hired John Mucci, just to hook up with Carter Together, let Carter support him.

Not only Williams, but Rasheed Wallace is also in the final year of his rookie contract, and he also wants good numbers.There are also McDaniel, Robert Parker and others, whose contracts are in the last year, and they can choose good contracts if they play well.

Tony Massenberg has signed with the Grizzlies for a better contract than he got with the Nets.

With two injured trio remaining, the team added Ben Wallace and Eric Mobley, as well as Stephen Jackson, both on the bench.

John Nash is still fighting to continue to strengthen the team, regardless of whether it is inside or outside, it needs to continue to strengthen.

"Guys, the new season is about to begin." Carter held a locker room meeting before the start of the new season, preparing to boost morale. "Of course we are for a better record. The team has been sprinting towards the championship. Last season, We're in the second round, and this season, hopefully, we can go further."

Carter encouraged these gangsters with his ideals and beliefs, and found that only Rashid and Cassel listened with interest.Cassel has won the championship, so he naturally knows what it feels like to win a championship, and wants to win again. While Rashid may not look like a roaring god, but his cultural level is not low, and he usually attends concerts.

It's better to tell the truth if the style of painting changes.

"The most important point is also what everyone cares about. A better record means that everyone's contract will be bigger. I believe that as long as we play the best record, no matter whether it is in the contract year or not, future new contract negotiations When you are playing, you will be more confident, and there will be more teams wanting to recruit you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in high spirits.Jason Williams, in particular, thought so deeply and couldn't stop nodding.

Carter finished his lecture.Calipari started again.

The preseason team made tactical fine-tuning.Last season, it was mainly the tactic of holding the ball in the backcourt. Carter was the top priority, and almost all of them passed through his hands. Sometimes it was Kendall Gill, who also had the ability to hold the ball.Cassel is more of a post-up single inside, using a sense of rhythm to beat the opponent's point guard.

On the bench, only Robert Parker has impact, and the other players have almost no scoring ability.This season, it seems that there is no improvement. When Stephen Jackson first entered the league, he had no scoring ability at all and struggled.

This season, Calipari decided to increase the proportion of running and shooting. He will arrange for Rashid to support the ball near the free throw line, let the center organize the offense, and other players will run around and keep interspersing to make room.

In order to perfect this set of tactics, Calipari also made a special visit to the old Princeton University coach Pete Carell.It's just that the other party didn't want to hang out with Calipari, and only had a deep talk with him for a few days.

After the meeting, Calipari went into John Nash's office.

"The team still lacks enough scoring points. Among the starting players, Jason Williams' scoring ability is negligible. Only four people scored. On the bench, none of them can really be relied on for scoring."

"I'm also thinking about this issue. Without enough scoring points, the main players will play a lot longer." John Nash is not in a good mood recently. He has been trying to make a big deal, but he can't do it. After all, there are not many people. " Last season, because of Carter's explosive scoring in many games, the team won more than 50 games. This season, Carter's characteristics may be understood by other teams, and it will be very difficult to perform so well."

"I believe in Carter, he will become the team's reliance. It's just that when he leaves the field, someone must score to stabilize the situation." Calipari has almost superstitious trust in Carter.

As long as Carter is on the court, the team has hope.But he must be responsible for Carter's career, and he cannot let young people play for too long.Carter is only 20 years old now. If he played too long when he was young, he will be easily injured in the future and his career will not last.

"I'll find a way to make a deal, and you have to recommend some players to me." John Nash secretly instructed Calipari.

It's a pity that both of them are new to the NBA. One has been a general manager for a year, and the other has been a head coach for a year. Without enough connections, it is difficult to make big deals or recruit suitable players.

But now that high-quality players have contracts, the team is not willing to give up.

Amid all the commotion, the new season kicks off. Big media such as TNT and ESPN have started preparations for the new season, and the number of live broadcasts in the United States has also been determined first.Last season, the Nets received a total of 12 national live broadcast games. At the beginning, there were no such numbers. As Carter's performance improved, the number of national live broadcast games increased.

This season is initially set to 15 games, which is a huge improvement over last season.It proves that the influence of the Nets is rising, and Carter's attractiveness is even higher.

The team strength list is still dominated by the Bulls. The defending champion has a well-organized lineup. Although it is aging, it is full of championship experience and is difficult to beat. [Because Jordan is in the Bulls, the Bulls rank first]

Then there is the Jazz, which reached the finals last season.The Spurs, Lakers, Heat, and Knicks are all at the forefront.

The Nets are ranked 12th. The level of the playoff team and the media's expectations for the Nets are only to enter the playoffs, or if they are lucky, they will enter the second round, which is the same as last season.

[Carter may have hit the rookie wall, and the Nets did not strengthen him during the offseason. 】Simple evaluation.Indeed, from the perspective of the media, the replacement players are still garbage players, and their strength will not improve much.Carter didn't seem to hit the rookie wall last season, and the media kept cautious attention.

All the focus has been concentrated on the first game.Reggie Miller said early to prevent Carter from defeating the Nets.

"I am waiting for Reggie Miller. He is a very good shooter. I like to compete with him." Carter also smiled and accepted the challenge.

I don't know when it started, Carter has stood at the height of a famous star like Reggie Miller.

For the Nets' first game, the Rutgers Athletic Center was packed.The twin female fans, wearing cool clothes, appeared at a fixed location again.They are also season ticket holders, so the price of tickets for the seats next to them has increased.

"Ah... Carter, I love you!"

"Hey, you guys are awesome." The fans next to him cheered, and then looked towards the center of the court, where Carter had already finished warming up. "Vince, kill Reggie."

The starting lineup of the Nets has not changed. Since the second half of last season, it has been a combination of Rashid, Jason Williams, Carter, Kendall Gill and Cassell. Their personal abilities have also derived a variety of tactical forms.

For the Pacers, the lineup has been adjusted.The starting center is Rick Schmitz, a white man with a height of 224, with 17.1 points and 6.7 rebounds last season.The power forward position is Dale Davis, who averaged 10.1 points and 9.7 rebounds last season; small forward Reggie Miller, 201 tall, 21.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season; shooting guard Chris Mullin, close to 35 The 14.5-year-old veteran had 4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 9.9 assists last season. The point guard is "Big Ass" Mark Jackson, who averaged 11.4 points and [-] assists per game last season.

Parallel time and space, Mark Jackson partnered with Yao Ming in the last year of his career in the 03-04 season, and he was very comfortable passing the ball to Yao Ming.

"Vince, today you are my defeat. I will break your confidence." Reggie Miller finished his psychological construction and began to provoke Carter.Larry Bird said, we must first overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

Reggie Miller is trying.Start with Carter.

"My mouth is so stinky, I'll blow you up later." Carter retorted.
