Basketball UFO

During this time, Carter will ponder the video clips of his opponents who successfully defended him after the game. Every time I feel like I can do better, there is always something missing and I get blocked.

His height and wingspan almost give him a matchup advantage at the small forward position, and he is more explosive than his original self. However, his skills are not refined enough, and he is not a threat in post-up singles. After being targeted, especially the guard line package If you pinch him, he will be difficult to deal with.

Even if they break through to the inside, there are still strong and long men inside to cover the defense, which makes the fight very hard.

Hit the rookie wall! ! !

Even though only sporadic media mentioned that Carter hit the rookie wall, which did not attract greater attention, Carter knew that he really hit the rookie wall.

His rookie wall is different from that of other players. Other rookies may have a decline in scoring efficiency, and then a simultaneous decline in assists and rebounds. However, his scoring dropped slightly, but he still averaged more than 20 points per game, and his assists and rebounds increased against the trend. Others I really can't tell.

I thought Carter had changed his style of play and was playing more around the team.

For several days, Carter has been communicating with the team's coaches, hoping to get some help.

"Vince, every player can be guarded. Don't worry too much about these things. Just be unable to guard him most of the time." Technical coach Martinez discussed with Carter and asked him not to be too persistent.

Not every player is called Michael Jordan. Jordan spent the past eight years polishing his skills to perfection, and then dominated the world, winning consecutive championships and creating a dynasty.

"What if it's a critical moment?" Carter asked rhetorically, "If we are prevented at a critical moment, the entire game, even the entire series, and the entire season's efforts will be in vain."

He is the team leader, should be trusted the most, and must be technically impeccable. This is what Carter requires of himself.

If you don't want to fall behind at critical moments, you have to improve your routine, control the error rate to a minimum, and improve your physical and technical control capabilities at the same time, which is the best solution.

Martinez was stunned for a while. He hadn't heard such words for a long time. Many players even avoided training. There were not many players who took the initiative to train more.

Carter is one of them, and he is also the hardest working one on the Nets.

"I'm very happy to hear that. I will help you." Martinez adjusted his breathing, was impressed by Carter's attitude, and guided Carter to conduct targeted training.

The team needs to become stronger, and Carter's pursuit of the strongest mentality continues to rise.

"Some top athletes have their own training teams. The teams can provide help, but only within the stadium. If you want to train outside the PNY training center, you can only rely on yourself." After training, Martinez advise.

"You currently have an annual salary of more than one million, but if you get less than one million, hiring a personal training team will cost you at least 20 US dollars,"

"It's not cheap, I can't afford it." Carter smiled, "So Mr. Martinez will have to work hard recently. I hope to get help from the team."

It's not that Carter can't afford it, but he hasn't found the right coach and training team yet. After all, it is difficult to find a team that is professional and has a certain amount of experience, and the price is definitely not cheap.

Carter is eager to improve and become a stronger player, and helpers are essential.

"Ahaha, if the team has requirements, I can help you. But I won't work overtime all the time. I still have personal time."

"I understand" Carter said goodbye to Martinez with a smile.

Martinez walked out of the training ground and as soon as he got into the car, he found a box of beautifully wrapped gifts placed on the passenger seat. When he opened it, it was revealed to be a Rolex watch.

There was also a card attached, written by Carter, which read: To the serious and responsible coach Martinez. The signature is Vince No. 15.

"This guy is really thoughtful." Martinez was proud that this watch was worth a lot of money. "It seems that I have to work harder to train with him."

Carter didn't pay attention to the small episode.

Mucci found Carter, "Vince, it's time to leave for Cleveland. You have a very heavy task this time. You have to participate in the Rookie Challenge on the first day and the All-Star Game on the third day."

"I can rest for a day in between, which sounds good." Carter packed his luggage and boarded the plane to Cleveland.

"Hey, John, what do you think I should buy a plane someday?"

Carter imagined soaring into the sky. A private jet can be purchased for around 10 million US dollars, mainly due to higher costs for daily maintenance and accompanying personnel.

He now has a few big sponsors and already has an income of several million, but most of it is invested in the stock market, leaving him little money.

"I think it's OK. No one among the NBA players has bought a private jet! Not even Michael Jordan." John Mucci was a little excited. "And as you become more popular, more and more sponsors are coming to your door. .”

Playboy and CK are still bidding and may sign a contract. In addition, two companies, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, are also asking about Carter's endorsement status. McDonald's and KFC also want to invite Carter to endorse.

These companies have exclusivity clauses. If you sign with one of them, you will not be able to sign for the same category of products, and the price given will be higher than other sponsors.

In addition to these bidding sponsors, car companies have also approached Feigen and are preparing to negotiate Carter's endorsement.

The deeper the season goes, the better Carter performs and the more attention he gets, the higher the sponsorship fee will be, and the more brands there will be.

"In the final analysis, I still have to play the best basketball. My commercial value is given by basketball. This is my foundation." Carter looked back and said, "Remember the training team."

As opponents analyze Carter's technical characteristics in depth, there will be more and more targeted defenses. What he has to do is to hone his own ace moves, or to surpass his opponent by a large margin, so that the defender knows how Carter plays, but cannot prevent him.

Just like on a football field, everyone knows that Robben is going to cut inside, but he can't prevent it.

Depart for Cleveland.

The All-Star Game is about to begin, and makeup photos have been taken and sent to major media for promotion. Carter also had to arrive a day early to participate in fan meetings and other activities held by the league, and then take All-Star photos.

…………

John Nash stood up from the negotiating table with a smile, "I believe all three parties will benefit from this deal."

Neil Olshey also stood up, "Of course, our three-way deal helped the Mavericks get out of the team's predicament. The people of Dallas should be grateful for our efforts. This is a reciprocal transaction."

"We also helped the Trail Blazers clean up possible internal problems." John Nash added, never mentioning whether the team could benefit from it. The Nets strengthened the inside.

The Mavericks trusted general manager Don Nelson to make this deal just after he became a permanent member. In fact, it was to clean up the mess of his predecessor. "Maybe, the Mavericks will get on the right track. We need more changes."

Don Nelson took a deep breath, and the matter finally came to an end. Trading Jim Jackson and maintaining the unity of the team is the most important step at the moment.

At this point, the three-party transaction was completed. Before the All-Star Game, the trade plan was submitted to the league for approval, and the league quickly approved it.

The good news media has been following it for a while and now it is reported immediately.
