Basketball UFO

In early December, it was 12 a.m. in New York, cold and lonely.

There were two obvious marks left on the floor-to-ceiling windows of Carter's room, which were not forced to dissipate by the cold air outside the window.

It has to be said that the recovery ability of black people is strong. Banks, who was sore just now, was able to get back to work immediately after taking a rest, preparing to shoot the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

"Don't you need to eat breakfast?" Banks' assistant asked with concern, "A healthy lifestyle is not about skipping breakfast, but about controlling nutrition, not too much but not too much, in order to stay healthy."

"No, I've already eaten breakfast. I feel full." Banks smiled, his whole face was radiant and he was in surprisingly good condition.

Fagan reached out to Carter to hear what Carter had to say about a new endorsement deal.

"This company that can achieve endorsements is a well-known company, Playboy, and they hope to sign you as their in-house model. The offer is $50 a year."

Carter thought about it for a moment. In the not too distant future, a photo of him wearing only boxers would be hung up in Manhattan Plaza, and everyone passing by around the world could see his sexy figure.

"I was given $20 to chew gum, but only $50 to wear."

Fei Gen was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Carter meant. There was still something to talk about.

Need more money!

This offer was too low, and Carter's commercial value began to show. Playboy Company quickly found business opportunities and prepared to sign Carter in advance, so the price would naturally not be high.

As long as there is competition, as long as Carter continues to shine, Playboy will have to pay a higher price if they want to sign Carter.

Carter is confident that his business value will continue to rise. I don’t want a playboy to spend a small amount of money to achieve big things.

"I will continue to talk. Mucci has been following me recently and is also helping to deal with this matter." Fagan continued to express his position. He has discovered Carter's potential and will definitely follow closely, and he will make a lot of money in the future.

"You can handle the business matters. My mission is to train well and play every game well. I will win honors and you will have a greater say when the time comes."

The fact is that simple, Carter's worth will be reflected on the court. As long as his performance gets better and better, his commercial value will only get higher and higher.

Athletes flying in the air are also walking clothes hangers and walking hormones. Countless big businessmen will flock here, and Carter will slowly build his own business sector.

…………

In the next few games, the Nets did not play easily, winning and losing, which accelerated the team's running-in.

Facing the Knicks at home, the team fought until the last minute to lose, and Carter missed the buzzer-beater.

Patrick Ewing broke out in a cold sweat and hugged Carter after the game, "You will become the next superstar."

"Next time, I will succeed." Carter was still unhappy.

It's not a good feeling at all to not actually win a game that you might have won. He loves winning and defeating all his opponents.

Missing the final shot is actually quite normal. In a tight game, the shooting percentage in the last 24 seconds was very low. Even for superstars, the shooting percentage would not be high.

Michael Jordan is the most outrageous, almost 50%, and no other player exceeds 40%. Carter has only played a few games and has already made and missed buzzer-beating shots.

"His goal is to lead the team to victory. As long as he cannot win, Carter will be unwilling to accept it," Okulli explained to Ewing. "I know that guy very well. He trained with me for more than a month in the summer. He will definitely become a superstar. , it’s a pity that the team failed to select him.”

Ewing looked at Carter's back, thoughtfully.

"I will do better next time and shoot more resolutely." Carter did not attend the press conference. This game was attended by Kendall Gill, who chatted with Cassell in the locker room after the game.

"Man, you are good enough. You scored 40 points in this game and 40 points against the Knicks. Do you know what it means? Super data, star player." Cassell comforted Carter.

Carter is a rookie and has only played a few games, and the season is still long. He will be numb to winning and losing games in the future.

The Knicks are one of the strongest defensive teams in the league. Jeff Van Gundy's team is known for its defense. Carter still scored the highest points of the season from the Knicks, which has exceeded most players in the league.

"Personal data is not important, the most important thing is victory. I want to win the championship!" Carter's voice was not loud, but he was extremely determined. After speaking, he wiped his face with a towel and threw it into the recycling bin.

Even dunking Ewing on the court could not make him feel less unhappy about losing the game. Ewing, Oakley, "Central Shooting King" Alan Houston, and "Big Mom" ​​Larry Johnson are really difficult to deal with.

"Fortunately, Carter failed to make the buzzer-beater and we were about to be defeated." Larry Johnson said bluntly after the game, feeling sad, "Carter couldn't be stopped. I tried my best to defend, but I still let him score 40 points. This is scary. "

Larry Johnson's defensive ability is extremely strong. Unfortunately, Carter was like a piece of paper in this game. Between turning and half-turning, he made a step-back jumper, allowing Larry Johnson's power to hit the cotton.

As long as there is a chance, Carter will also attack inside and cause damage.

Jeff Van Gundy also had lingering fears and had the same idea as Larry Johnson, "Carter will become a superstar in the league. He has extraordinary abilities."

In the next game against the sluggish Celtics, Carter broke out again and scored 40 points again, massacring the Celtics with a big score.

Antoine Walker started for 37 minutes and scored 18 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists. His performance was amazing. He also adapted to the rhythm of NBA games.

But compared to Carter's superstar statistics, Walker pales in comparison.

The reporter was very nice and asked Celtics head coach ML Kyle directly, "Do you regret it? The Celtics had the No. 6 pick, but they didn't select Carter."

Kyle smiled slightly, "The team is on the right path. The future is bright."

Obviously, the Celtics have shamelessly messed up and lost crazily for Tim Duncan, just to win next year's No. 1 pick.

Antoine Walker thought he would be recognized for getting a double-double, but unexpectedly the team didn't care at all. All the team cares about is the 1997 No. pick.

"I have to play better data. Even if I am traded out next season, I will get better opportunities." His mentality has changed. I didn’t find a sense of belonging in the Celtics, so I just muddle along and let’s talk about the future in the future.

The Nets' game is still going on, and until late December, the Nets actually maintained a good winning rate. Until they defeated the Celtics again at home, the Nets played a total of 12 games with a winning rate of over 22% and won 50 of them.

"It's unimaginable that Carter led the Nets to the top eight. This is incredible. He is the first player to shine among this rookie class."

"Carter will become a superstar, there is no doubt about it. He has the maturity and leadership ability that are different from those of a rookie."

TNT is already building momentum for the Nets' next national broadcast.

Carter, as the key target of attention, has attracted the attention of all teams. In order to defend Carter, each team has arranged perimeter defense elites.
