New York, New Jersey, Nets press conference room.

John Nash sat in the middle, with three new players sitting on both sides. He consciously did a lot of things and introduced them cheerfully.

The more than 10 reporters who were invited were confused. Who are these players? No one really recognized them.

Of the three new players, except for one who is a rookie this year, the other two have played in the league and have never been seen before. They look like unknown players at first glance.

"This is Stephen Jackson, the 40th pick in this year's Nets draft, a future member of the Nets." John Nash pointed to Stephen Jackson.

The future "Martial Saint", Stephen Jackson already has many tattoos. He looks unruly but a little shy, with his facial organs squeezed together. The young and mature skin is tightly knitted together, like a chrysanthemum that has not yet bloomed.

"This is Ben Wallace, 1996 draft pick, oh, no, undrafted. Ben spent one season with the Washington Bullets and has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA." John Nash introduced Ben excitedly , he felt that Ben was recognized by John Calipari and should contribute some strength on the defensive end.

After all, he was a player drafted in 1996. Even if he was undrafted, he still polished himself in the league for a year, so he should have something. At least this body will add thickness to the inside on the defensive end.

However, the reporter didn't buy it and responded very coldly because he had never heard of the player Ben Wallace. Moreover, the whole person looks stupid, with a furrow hairstyle on his head, and he seems to be only 2 meters tall, but he is still a player who plays center, which is unreliable, unreliable anyway.

I have heard of another Wallace, Rasheed Wallace. After all, he has played with the Nets for nearly half a season. He is very good and works well with Carter.

Ben Wallace stared at the reporters in the audience with a calm expression. It's better if the reporter doesn't know him, so as not to make random reports. If he doesn't play well, it will be even more troublesome.

He is just here to play ball, not to flatter reporters. More importantly, the Nets gave him a two-year contract with a total price of $150 million. The contract was similar to that of Tony Massenberg. Massenberg was not satisfied and left directly. He has signed with the Grizzlies.

"The other big guy looks unfamiliar." The reporters in the audience whispered. They really admired the Nets. Where did they get these players? "Listen, who is it? He must have played ball before, and he doesn't look like he is." Experienced.”

John Nash introduced the last player, named Eric Mobley, who is 211cm tall and plays the center position on the court. He played for the Vancouver Grizzlies last season, averaging 2.6 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. He didn't play very well. He was still the 1994th pick in the first round of 18. He was selected by the Bucks that year. He averaged no more than 5 points and 4 rebounds per game. He wasted two years in Vancouver and was given up by the Grizzlies.

At this moment, the Nets signed him just to increase the height of the inside. There is also interior defensive strength. Eric Mobley doesn't seem to have enough quality beyond just average defense.

"We believe Eric will give us enough inside strength." John Nash introduced forcefully.

The reporters didn't know who he was talking about, they really didn't know him. The Vancouver Grizzlies really don't have any popularity. After joining the third overall pick in 1996, many people have forgotten that his name is Sharif Abdul-Rahim.

It is worth mentioning that Eric Mobley’s son is more advanced and will also enter the NBA in the future. His name is Evan Mobley. He will enter the league as the third overall pick in 2021 and join the Cleveland Cavaliers. Also selected to the All-Defensive Team.

There was nothing provocative about the press conference. The reporters were very disappointed that the Nets' so-called reinforcements turned out to be so weird that they couldn't even name a named player.

"The Nets still need reinforcements!" the media said in unison.

"Besides Carter, it is difficult for the Nets to find a second strong point and they need to continue to add strong players."

"If you want to compete for the championship, you must continue to strengthen your strength. The Nets have a long way to go."

Even the local fans in New Jersey couldn't stand it and called on the team to continue to strengthen. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it has increased its strength. Without Tony Massenberg, all the people it attracts are cats and dogs.

In any case, Ben Wallace and Stephen Jackson joined the Nets as they wished and were able to play on the same team as Carter. Eric Mobley got the contract he wanted and can still stay in the NBA.

In parallel time and space, Eric Mobley left the NBA the next season and only played 4 seasons. It wasn't until his son entered the league that his name was remembered again.

The three of them will first participate in the summer league and have more than a week to impress the coach and work hard for playing time next season.

"Guys, where is Vince? I can't wait to meet him." Stephen Jackson was very excited when he heard that Carter had requested him. He had long wanted to meet Carter and give him a loving hug.

"Please, Vince just called me yesterday. He is on vacation and will not return to the team." Big Ben quickly showed off. He felt that he had a close relationship with the team boss and had a sense of superiority. "But I ended up in the summer league. Later, I will meet Vince and train with him."

"Wow..." Stephen Jackson was filled with envy, "Can you take me with you? I will work very hard."

At this moment, Wu Sheng is like a newcomer who has just entered the workplace, full of passion and eager to make progress.

"You should polish your body well and don't be in a hurry. The team is already very strong and our positioning must be clear. We are all substitutes." Ben taught Jackson and then greeted Mobley, "Have you chosen a jersey number? I plan to choose No. 3. .”

Originally, I wanted No. 30, which was the same as his number with the Bullets. Unfortunately, this jersey was already worn by Rasheed Wallace, and I couldn't help but become a little more interested in the other Wallace.

Within the Nets, Carter's No. 15 is the most popular, and it is also the Nets' best-selling jersey. It is also ranked No. 12 in the league and sells very well. Kendall Gill is No. 55, Jason Williams wears No. 10, and Sam Cassell returns to No. , the same number he wore with the Rockets.

Among the substitute players, Robert Pike wore the No. 13 jersey, which made a difference. McDaniels wears jersey No. 34, and there is no number conflict between players.

Moreover, the Nets' team history is very thin, and there are no successful years. There are less than 5 retired jerseys, and there are no restrictions on subsequent players' use, so they basically will not compete for numbers.

"I'm going to choose No. 32, which is the number of the center." Eric Mobley said timidly. He also heard that Ben and Carter had a good relationship, so he came to the Nets.

He himself seems to have arrived based on his strength, which is difficult to deal with and will probably not be easy to get around in the future.

Stephen Jackson thought for a while, "Otherwise I will choose jersey No. 23!"

The Nets' No. 3 and No. 23 jerseys have been retired and belong to Drazen Petrovic and John Williams respectively. If the two defenders want to use their jersey numbers, they still need management approval.

But the problem is generally not big. The players whose jerseys are retired by the Nets are not superstars. Now that the Nets are booming, the management will not make things difficult for the players because of a jersey number.

While the Nets were strengthening their teams, Duncan and McGrady also signed contracts with the Spurs and Raptors respectively. I also called Carter to announce the good news, thinking of having a good celebration.

"I'm traveling around the world. When I go back, we can find time to get together." Carter patted the hot girl's butt and motioned for her to change her movements. "Now in Southeast Asia, the economy here has collapsed. It's really pitiful. Many girls are looking for Without action, I can only help them."
