Basketball UFO

"Vince, I hope everything you said can come true." Joe Taub is in charge of team operations, and it is very important to open up a larger market.

So he was convinced by the prospects Carter painted and entered the team into the Southern California Summer League. And it is equipped with a professional photographer to videotape the game.

"This will take time, but I believe it will come true in the near future." Carter is eyeing the Summer League. Generally speaking, the team's rookies and fringe players will participate in the summer league to look for opportunities. Carter just finished special training and started preparing for the summer league again.

He first communicated with the management through head coach Calipari, and then went into battle personally, finally allowing the Nets to participate in the Southern California Summer League. And Ben Wallace was also brought along as the subject of investigation.

"Vince, I don't understand your idea. Why do you want to face the Chinese basketball team?" Carter's follower John Mucci followed him to California with a camera on his shoulder.

"They have a huge market, man. If you want to be an excellent agent, you must know how to judge commercial value. China will have a huge market in the future."

John Mucci has been hanging out with Carter since high school. Although he is just a hawker selling sneakers, he is smart and eloquent. The key is that he is loyal to Carter, fights tooth and nail, and takes several knives for him.

Now John Mucci is following Fagan and joining SFX Company to learn broker knowledge. The company's biggest players at present are Garnett and Joe Smith. The No. 95 pick and the No. 5 pick in both paid their dues, and were followed up by Miller and Fagan respectively.

Now John Mucci focuses on serving Carter and learning the whole package.

After arriving in Long Beach, California, Carter entered the summer league battle.

This summer league only has 4 games, one against the Lakers, where Kobe will play as a new Lakers player, and one against the Chinese Men's Basketball Team.

Carter still remembers Hu Weidong, Sun Jun and others. Wang Zhizhi is still a young man, the same 19-year-old as Carter, and is also among the players preparing for the China National Men's Basketball Team.

There will be an Olympic Games in August this year, which will be held in Atlanta, USA. If the Chinese men's basketball team does not change, it will reach the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games and defeat the powerful Argentina.

The first game is against the Chinese men's basketball team. Ben looked at the not-so-strong insider and didn't seem to care much, "Why are these people so skinny and sallow? Can't they keep up with nutrition?"

"Their basic skills are very solid, so be careful, it's hard for you to take advantage."

Carter did not underestimate the enemy. He greeted Hu Weidong and others in a friendly manner before the game, and even deliberately learned Chinese and said, "Hello!"

It immediately aroused the favor of domestic players.

"I won't show mercy on the field." Carter patted Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder. The translator quickly said this to the men's basketball team.

"His name is Vince Carter. He is the eighth pick in this year's draft. He is very strong. Everyone should be careful." Head coach Gong Luming reminded the players, "For some others, we have not done enough homework and have not grasped the situation. .”

"I'll defend Carter." Zheng Wu stepped forward and took the initiative to take on the important task.

At the beginning, Shan Tao won the jump ball, but Ben obviously failed to grasp the timing of the jump. But before Zheng Wu could catch the ball, a figure flashed past and swatted the ball away from the air.

It was Carter, already lurking nearby, suddenly activated, controlling the basketball.

The front was flat and the layup was successful. Before the men's basketball players could react, Carter had already scored.

"Chicken, you move so fast."

Hu Weidong came up with enthusiasm, advanced with the ball, and played pick-and-roll with Zheng Wu. They cooperated very well. Sun Jun passed the ball inside and Shan Tao succeeded in a layup to tie the score.

Although Ben was strong, Shan Tao played smart and deceived the big man, "Damn, his skills are really good."

Carter held the ball and faced the front and back defense of Sun Jun and Zheng Wu. He started with a big step and passed by in one step. Then he dribbles the ball for the second time, his steps have changed, and he turns to the other side.

He leaned back, took another step, and passed Sun Jun again. A reverse layup is just as easy.

After being scored by Carter continuously, the men's basketball team began to counterattack. Hu Weidong tried a three-pointer and was lucky enough to score.

"Defense, what are you guys doing?" Carter lectured the players on the field. They were all undrafted and marginal players. If they didn't work hard in the summer league, no team would take notice of them.

Ben received a pass from Carter, stood up suddenly, and dunked during the confrontation with Shan Tao.

Shan Tao is skilled in technique and not weak in strength. He is currently known as the number one center in Asia, but his physical strength is still far behind compared to the big players.

Wang Zhizhi watched from the sidelines, "Are these the fringe players in the NBA? They are so strong. If I can go to the NBA to further my studies, I will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

The game was still going on. Carter led the fringe team to a 10-0 spurt, opening the score at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the game was still in a similar state. Carter controlled the team's rhythm, making breakthrough shots and assists, and frequently sent out second passes.

Hu Weidong, wearing the No. 8 jersey, performed very well, scoring 12 points in the half, and Sun Jun also scored 10 points. The key was Sun Jun's passing in the paint, which allowed others to score a lot of points.

"Sun Jun? I didn't expect him to be so strong. He has a very good basketball awareness and solid basic skills." Carter praised in his heart. The 96 men's basketball team should be considered a golden generation, with many strong players in the team.

And the confrontation is not bad, Hu Weidong has the ability to play in the NBA.

By the end of the three quarters, Ben had accidentally scored a double-double, scoring exactly 10 points, all of which were the most assured dunks, and all of which were assists from Carter's mouth. Grabbed 11 rebounds, vaguely suppressing the combination of Shan Tao and Wang Zhizhi.

"Carter has revitalized the whole team by himself. We have to work harder, play boldly, and charge boldly." Gong Luming encouraged the players, "This is a very good training match. Did you see it? Their tactical coordination is all centered around Carter." Spread out, the others aren’t much of a threat.”

"Carter is really strong." Zheng Wu was exhausted. Just following Carter was too much for him.

Carter's height and wingspan are naturally a defensive barrier on the outside. Zheng Wu only scored 6 points in the whole game, which was very uncomfortable.

最终篮网队以108比86击败华夏国男篮。卡特一人得到32分8个助攻7个篮板，打了三节半，完全统治了比赛。

"Carter is too strong. It's easy for everyone else to deal with him, but Carter can't be guarded at all." Zheng Wu shook his head helplessly, "It's unimaginable that this grandson is actually a rookie."

At the end of the game, Carter came over and said, "Hello guys. You played well. I found that your basic skills are particularly solid. If you accept a higher level league, many talented players will definitely emerge."

Mucci checked with the translator before they understood Carter's proposal to take a photo with them.

Everyone was smiling, the game was over, and it was a good scene. There is no deep hatred between the two parties, and it is not bad to be friends.

"Carter, you are so strong, let's take a photo together." Zheng Wu admired this young man and took the initiative to invite Carter.

Carter smiled and granted their wishes, taking photos together one by one. "I will send you the photos later. You will all come to Atlanta, right? Welcome, I believe you will play a great game."

With a learning attitude, Gong Luming communicated with Nets assistant coach Jason to learn from his experience.
