Chapter 1377 Anthony Joins

"Oh." Boss Cai became interested, "What's the matter?"

"That's it." Meng Yundao: "We have no shortage of inside players in our current team. It is enough to have me on the outside, Dinwiddie, LeVille, and Harris. But we are lacking on the front line. The team only has two strikers, DeMarre Carroll and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. But neither of them is particularly outstanding. insufficient."

Boss Cai nodded.

Although Boss Cai doesn't often dictate the team's affairs and fully delegate power, he still understands the basic situation of the team, and the small forward position is indeed somewhat lacking.

Originally aimed at Leonard and Butler, as long as one of them is signed, this problem will naturally be solved.

But the problem is that none of them can be signed now, and the problem of the small forward has not been solved.

Thinking about it, Boss Cai's heart moved: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Meng Yundao: "I think we might try to sign Carmelo Anthony. Although he is in his thirties, his personal strength is actually very good. After all, he was a former superstar."

Boss Cai stared at Meng Yun for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Hehe, that's why?"

"Yeah." Meng Yun nodded and explained: "As far as the position is concerned, I hope we can sign Carmelo Anthony."

Boss Cai laughed, and said: "It's simple. I also know about Anthony's situation. He doesn't seem to have signed with any team yet, and he just wants to play. He doesn't have any requirements for the contract. I promised you that you can Designate one or two players."

Meng Yundao: "No, I don't want to designate anyone. Indeed, Anthony and I are friends and have a good relationship. He is in a bit of an embarrassing situation now. I want to help him. But I will not let the team sign him for personal reasons. , I really think Anthony can help the team, he has enough experience, excellent skills, physical fitness may not be as good as before, but he still has a good scoring ability, and we just lack people at the small forward position."

Seeing Meng Yun's serious expression, Boss Cai also put away his smile, thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "You are right, I agree to this matter."

Boss Cai said that the team management was very efficient and invited Anthony the next day.

After receiving the invitation from the Nets, Anthony's first reaction was Meng Yun's reason. He called Meng Yun. Meng Yun had expected it a long time ago and prepared his speech. He told Anthony directly that he was indeed the one who suggested to the team. Sign him, but not because they are friends, but because the team needs Anthony at the small forward position.

Moreover, Meng Yun assured Anthony that the Nets will become a strong team, a strong team that is qualified to compete for the championship.

Anthony was silent for a moment, and finally said "thank you".

For Anthony, there are two reasons why he is reluctant to leave the NBA. One is that he likes it here, and he wants to stay on this stage to continue to prove himself. Over the past few years, he has moved to many teams, but he still missed the championship.

Just like Iverson at the beginning, Anthony has received many honors. He was once a superstar and the top player in the league.

It's just that he doesn't have a championship ring yet.

The reason why Tony joined the Thunder before, joined forces with George and Westbrook, and chose to join the Rockets last summer, and joined forces with Paul and Harden, is actually for the championship.

But now, Meng Yun gave him hope.

Anthony is not sure whether the Nets can win the championship in the future, but Anthony does not doubt that the Nets have the strength to compete for the championship, because Meng Yun is there.

Anthony has made a decision, and everything will come naturally, and the progress is very fast. Anthony has no requirements for the contract. A veteran contract will do. Of course, the Nets will not be stingy. Boss Cai promised Meng Yun before that they I have been mentally prepared for a long time, and even plan to pay millions, or even tens of millions of dollars, to sign one or two players that Meng Yun specifies that he wants to recruit.

But now it's just a veteran contract, nothing at all.

In fact, it wasn't a matter of money at all. Boss Cai didn't lack this money, and neither did Anthony, so things progressed quickly, but the signing was completed in two days, and Anthony officially became a member of the Nets.

At the same time, the Nets players who went to the away game also returned to New York.

On this day, Meng Yun and Anthony came to the Nets training arena together.

"This is the first time I have come here as a Nets player." Meng Yun looked around, feeling novel.

"Me too." Anthony said with a smile, also looking around, and the two stepped into the gate together.

For a moment, everyone looked at them.

A group of Nets players, coaching staff members, trainers
Everyone looked at Meng Yun and Anthony.

"Hi, everyone." Meng Yun waved his hand and walked towards Coach Atkinson, "Coach, I'm sorry, it's a little too late for me to return to the team."

Coach Atkinson was in a good mood, he laughed and said, "It's okay, just come back." After speaking, he looked at Anthony, "Cameron, welcome."

Anthony and Atkinson shake hands.

No introduction needed, they were all NBA players, who didn't know Meng Yun and Anthony, a group of Nets players gathered around, greeted Meng Yun with a smile, and welcomed him back to the team.

There was no targeting or hostility, and no one dared to show off Meng Yun. Everyone smiled and warmly welcomed Meng Yun back to the team.Because from the day Meng Yun signed the contract, he is the boss of this team, everyone must listen to him, if not, then I can only ask you to leave.

Looking at a group of people surrounding Meng Yun, whether it was the original Nets players Dinwiddie, Harris, LeVille, or the newly joined Thaddeus Young, Nerlens Noel, etc., they were all there. Taking the initiative to show his favor to Meng Yun, Anthony's mood is somewhat complicated.

Once upon a time, he was so beautiful.

Coach Atkinson felt a lot easier.

Before Meng Yun didn't come back, the team didn't have a backbone, and the original players and the newly joined players were also secretly competing with each other. The atmosphere was very discordant.

Now that Meng Yun came back, everyone surrounded him, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

After that, there was team training. Both Meng Yun and Anthony performed well. Needless to say, Meng Yun, Anthony also showed his strength and initially gained the approval of his teammates.

After the training was over, Meng Yun looked at his teammates and said with a smile, "Everyone, why don't we go heads-up?"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling bad.

Meng Yun laughed: "Don't worry, just play casually, this is a way for me and my new teammates to enhance friendship, come on."
