Chapter 25 Want to win (page 12)

"SLAM" magazine also arranged an exclusive interview with Carter.

"This year's Nets are much better than last season. What has changed?"

Carter looked relaxed, "The team is on the right path. The management has been adjusting the team. Calipari is a very good coach. He has allowed us to find the right way to win. I am also making progress. Will lead this team to be more solid.”

"The goal is to reach the playoffs?" Beautiful reporter Jamil tilted her head, pretending to be cute, showing her big white teeth and white rabbit.

"Yes, entering the playoffs is our goal and the team is working hard. Even if we are in the top eight now, it is still not stable. We are almost halfway through the season and what will happen in the future. No one can say."

"What is your goal for entering the NBA?"

"My short-term goal is to lead the team into the playoffs. Of course, my personal goal is to win a championship that belongs to me. This is the direction I strive for."

Back then, Michael Jordan's goal was to enter the All-Star Game. When he entered the All-Star Game for the first time, he wore gold chains with dog heads and dressed up in a coquettish way, which proved that his fashion concept was rubbish, but he valued the All-Star Game. journey of.

Kobe's goal was to be the best athlete he could be. LeBron James' goal is to become the first person in history. He set his ambition when he was about to enter the NBA in high school.

Jameel continued to ask Carter, "Your dunk has become a hot topic among fans. Will you participate in this year's All-Star Dunk Contest?"

"I don't plan to participate this year. It depends on the situation in the future." Carter smiled. "Actually, I am not a dunker."

I'm not a dunker!

This sentence made Jamil almost choke. Fans first knew Carter because of dunks. Without the explosive and coquettish dunks, Carter was just a strong rookie, not a star.

But with the blessing of dunks, Carter immediately became a star.

Iverson's breakthrough has gradually become a signature; Carter's dunk is also a personal signature.

"What kind of entertainment do you usually have?" Jamil expanded the content of the interview to life.

Carter has several endorsement deals, including US$8500 million in endorsement fees for Adidas and Converse. He also signed a contract with Wrigley chewing gum and received US$20 in pure endorsement fees. Currently, Playboy and CK are in talks, and the endorsement fee is estimated to be one million US dollars.

Carter thought for a while and said that it was definitely not appropriate to go out to nightclubs to have fun. We only went there occasionally, not nightclubs every day. In addition, playing poker with a girl with a hot figure is not easy to say, and her hobbies are more masculine and ordinary.

"Probably playing games. I play some computer games after competitions."

Jamil laughed, not expecting this big boy to be so cute. I also like to play computer games. After the 80s, computers began to rise. After win95, computers began to enter the homes of ordinary people. They were still new.

"What game are you playing? I heard recently that Red Alert is quite popular and many players like it."

"Yes, it's Red Alert 1. It should be a work of Westwood Company."

"Oh, it sounds interesting. I haven't been exposed to it yet. But you can give it a try and you can teach me some other time."

At the end of the interview, Jamil whispered to Carter, "Do you have a mobile phone number? I mean, a number for private use."

"No problem, contact me when you have time." Carter didn't want to have a bad relationship with the beautiful reporter with a bulging front and back. Who knows if she would report randomly.

It's all for the sake of a better life in the league. Carter is willing to lower his head and his younger brother is willing to raise his head.

Soon, the news spread that Carter would not participate in the dunk contest.

Many fans regretted, "This All-Star Weekend, if Carter does not participate in the dunk contest, then the dunk contest will really be nothing to watch."

"No, five players have already signed up to participate, and they also had beautiful dunks."

"No matter how beautiful it is, can it be better than Carter's dunk? Carter's dunk is the most beautiful and explosive dunk."

When Kobe saw the players who had signed up for the dunk contest, he regretted that Carter had not signed up. "It's a pity that I can't meet him in the dunk contest."

Kobe thought about it and immediately signed up for the league and will also participate in the dunk contest.

"I will win the slam dunk contest. This is my first championship. I will win countless championships." Kobe Bryant secretly vowed that he couldn't wait to succeed and wanted to prove himself.

Finally, when the second round of voting came to an end, all the players participating in the dunk contest also appeared. Mike Finley of the Mavericks, Bob Sura of the Cavaliers, Devin Hamm of the Nuggets and Chris Carr of the Timberwolves have already signed up.

As a rookie, the Bucks' Ray Allen also signed up, and he also wanted to prove himself. It's a hot and cold day in Milwaukee, and there's no attention. Only by participating in such events can newcomers make their mark.

Since then, the six-man lineup for the dunk contest has been formed.

All players who signed up for the three-point shooting contest also showed up, more players than signed up for the dunk contest. SuperSonics players Dale Ellis and Sam Perkins, Washington Bullets player Tim Legler, Pistons player Terry Mills, Hornets player Glenn Rice, one of the Jazz's "Xuan Ming Er" John Stockton, Raptors player Walter Williams, and Bulls player Steve Kerr, a total of 8 people participated.

Steve Kerr is participating for the fourth time and has participated for four consecutive years. He has not won the three-point shooting contest three times before. They lost to Mark Price, Glenn Rice and Tim Legler respectively, all of whom were also opponents in this competition.

In addition, the American media, retired players and the general public are selecting the 50 best players in the NBA in 50 years. This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the NBA. Such votes also have certain representative significance.

This year's All-Star Game was made more inspiring and attracted a lot of attention.

The All-Star Weekend games will not start until February 2, and the voting period for All-Star players is still in progress.

Throughout January, the Nets adjusted their tactics and continued to give opportunities to inside players. The performance is improving steadily.

The main reason is that Carter still has good personal data. The team's record has exceeded 50%, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference. However, the season is still long, and the playoff spot may not be guaranteed. The Magic and Bullets behind them can overtake them at any time.

"The Nets have seen the problems inside, and they hope to make the inside stronger in half a season." American media such as TNT and ESPN have paid attention to the changes in the Nets, "But judging from the Nets' record, although Post players put up good numbers, but it’s harder for them to win and it takes Carter to get crazy numbers to win.”

"Outside Carter has been crazy. He has won the Rookie of the Month again, but the Nets seem to be on the wrong path." The commentator is not optimistic about the Nets' game rhythm.

It's better to learn from the Bulls, which integrates offense and defense on the outside and can make up for the weakness on the inside.

"Sean Bradley averaged a double-double, 12 points and 10 rebounds per game. He is very beautiful. It is almost the limit for a player of his level. If the Nets want to go further, they must continue to strengthen the inside. At least find a better player. Strong interior scorer."

"Inside scorers are the treasures of every team, and they are not so easy to get. Trading is not easy. Is there anyone on the Nets who is suitable for trading?"
