Chapter 24 Desire to Win (Page 12)

In a daze and confusion, Carter seemed to have entered a trance.

Ribbons fell from the sky like snowflakes, filling the entire stadium. Countless people fell into madness, filled with passion, shouting Vince Carter's name.

"The NBA championship this season is..."

"This season's NBA Finals MVP player is Vince Carter, a 2-meter-tall swingman from Wake Forest University..."

Carter easily stepped onto the stage, handed the Finals championship trophy to Tim Duncan, and then took the FMVP trophy from David Stern.

"Vince, congratulations!"

"Thank you to the league, thank you to the president! I will work harder." Carter promised Stern. His social image is very good. He has never played with guns or powder. He is already a good boy in the league.

It has become the target of the alliance's praise, and it is also the facade that the alliance relies on most.

Tim Duncan took the trophy from Carter, just like the NCAA championship trophy, hugged it tightly in his arms, as if holding his beloved woman, smiled, and was as happy as an idiot.

"After Michael Jordan retired, Carter became the star of the league. He stood at his rightful place, at the top of the league."

"This season belongs to Vince Carter. He has brought the league into a new era."

The commentators talked eloquently, and the TV broadcast images were transmitted to thousands of households. The DJ at the scene frantically shouted Carter's name over and over again, and then introduced the winning players one by one.

"Vince, Vince..."

Carter woke up in a daze, and there was a handsome face in front of him, looking at him longingly.

"Little Vince, are you awake?" Wei Yi played with Carter's stubble, slowly getting a feel for it. I don’t know what’s going on, but I couldn’t help but frown and snorted softly, “You just got up, why aren’t you good?”

"My younger brother is more impulsive." Carter realized that winning the championship just now was just a dream, but now it is reality.

It feels so good to be drunk and dreaming, without worries or sorrow.

I drank a little too much at the bar last night, and for some reason I went to the hotel to rest. Unexpectedly, it was Hollywood actress Jennifer Connelly who picked him up and took him back to the hotel.

After waking up, I was no longer idle, and last night's work was put on the agenda again.

…………

"It hurts!" Jennifer Connelly complained to Carter, patted his chest and said dotingly, "I still have scenes to shoot!"

Jennifer Connelly is currently filming "Secrets of Love". She first became well-known when she participated in "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​at the age of 12, as the dancing girl and the dream lover of noodles.

Now that her first marriage had failed and she was in a vacant period, she went out to get drunk on New Year's Day and happened to meet Carter.

The young boy was so full of enthusiasm and passion that Connery couldn't help but want to tease him.

"We are just friends who have in-depth communication. Don't try to hype up our relationship!" Connery was very cautious. She didn't want her joke with Carter to become the focus of media hype.

"Don't worry, I'm also worried about off-field factors affecting my performance."

"But having said that, your dunk is really beautiful. I don't pay attention to sports, but I can't help but remember your dunk. It should be the only one in the NBA. Come on, little Vince, you will be successful in the future. .”

"Encourage each other!" Carter chatted with Connelly, and did not stop moving. It was like a perpetual motion machine, with strength and speed that made people obsessed.

"Huh..." Oliver Connelly gave Carter advice, "My mother is in the antique business. If you want to do some small investment, you can choose."

The United States has no history and nothing worth collecting. Carter also doesn’t like the disgusting collections of miniature human heads created during the Age of Discovery, nor does he like bone products.

"What a good idea. If there are some foreign collections, whether they are porcelain, calligraphy and painting, or even photo albums, as long as they have collection value, I would like to take a look." Carter only took it for fun and would not invest a lot of money.

More of his money is in the stock market, with a few million invested. In particular, Enron's stock is still rising, and the rise is gratifying.

…………

After New Year's Day, the new year has arrived. The dawn shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the whole room, making it brighter, and people on the street come out.

1996 has passed and I miss her a little.

In the first game after the New Year, facing the Miami Heat, Carter failed to continue his 40+ performance and the team lost the game.

He only scored 24 points, which brought an end to the madness in the previous stage.

Alonzo Mourning walked towards Carter, worried and a little uncomfortable, "Hey, Vince, next time you dunk on me, I will pull you down."

"I've already dunked on Ewing, and if I dunk on all the tall centers in the league, you won't say that about me." Carter responded with a smile, "In any case, your defense is annoying."

Indeed, the Heat's interior defense is quite tight. Carter made continuous breakthroughs and was knocked to the ground many times. He didn't get a whistle at all. He made many obvious fouls and couldn't even get a free throw. It was a very difficult game.

Pat Riley looked at Carter and couldn't help but admire in his heart, "Jeff is right. As long as he sees Carter, he will want to get him into the team. This guy is a super player chosen by heaven. In the future Infinite light.”

After the game, Pat Riley immediately called John Nash, "John, I think the Heat and Nets should make a beautiful trade."

John Nash's mind moved, "Fortunate God, do you have any good ideas?"

"How about I give you Alonzo Mourning? This is a super center who can definitely transform the Nets."

"Anyone can be traded except Carter." John Nash suddenly became excited. If a combination of Carter and Mourning is created, it will definitely become a classic. But he calmed down immediately. There was no bargaining chip in the team to trade for Mourning.

Sure enough, Pat Riley smiled and said, "I only want Vince Carter. For Carter, I can trade Mourning or even get other players."

"Not to mention anything else, if I trade Carter, Nets fans will kill me. In addition, the team owners will even fire me immediately and then kill me."

The team's attraction was brought about by Vince Carter. How could Carter be traded? He doesn't have this authority!

Pat Riley's idea is that if Carter can be traded and then paired with strong reinforcements, the team is expected to hit the championship. Moreover, Carter has a strong body and strong muscles, which is very suitable for his training mode.

The Heat's training intensity is higher than that of official games. Players wear knee pads during training, but not during games.

"John, if you reject me, you are equivalent to rejecting the opportunity for Carter to become Jordan. Only in my hands will he reach his peak. I have enough experience and I will bring out the best players."

"Pat, I respect you. The Nets don't need Jordan, they only need Vince Carter. Now he is the darling of the fans. Let him improve and grow here. That's enough. The team will give him the maximum limited support.”

Pat Riley returned with no success and sighed slightly. In fact, I had expected the result, but I didn't expect the Nets to reject it so simply.

A famous star, a player known as the fifth center, cannot be exchanged for a player who is in his rookie period and is the seventh overall pick in the draft.
