Chapter 25 The Legendary Second Generation
In November, it was the season when the weather was getting colder. All Celtics rushed back to Boston from the cold Miwolki overnight. After the first week of the new season, they ushered in a rare four-day break. Joni was going to shoot an advertisement for Sega for the NBA2k game. £∝ At the same time, he also had to meet with the brand leader of Nike. It is said that his new sneakers have been made.
However, when he returned to Boston, the most important thing for Joni was to sleep. After all, it was already late at night when they flew back from Miwalki. But this time, Jimmy Adams did not call him, but Joni couldn't sleep.
Boston is not a big city, the night here is very quiet, and Joni lives very close to Harvard University. At this time, you can still see the lights of the Harvard University Library in the distance. During this period, Joni was a little moved. He produced very excellent data. If the data in the first week can be maintained, it would be an unprecedented gorgeous data.
However, Joni felt very tired. He played 6 games and played for more than 40 minutes in each game. He needed to take into account everything on the court, scoring, Joni, and assists. Although he had to share the pressure with big money, Joni was also indispensable. He had to bear everything himself, which was obviously very tiring.
Joni felt that he had to talk to Mr. Carl. The team needed new players. At least Joni felt that the team had a bad power forward. The point guard could wait for Chauncey to grow, power forward, and the team didn't even have a pure power forward! Walter McArty was a small forward, and Tim Thomas had always played as a small forward.
If the team can get a pure power forward, Joni believes that it will be of great help to the team. First of all, Joni hopes that this power forward must have a certain ability to shoot mid-range shots and open up space. Secondly, it must have a certain rebounding ability and be able to share Joni's rebounding pressure. However, such players are destined to be very difficult to find, and Joni can only give his opinions at that time.
As he thought about it, Joni still couldn't sleep. He turned on the TV.
"Today, there are 10 games held in NBA. The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Indiana Pacers at 89:82, and the Chicago Bulls defeated the Nets at 99:86..." The live broadcast of the sports channel finally made Joni interested. He decided not to sleep and take a look at the current situation of other teams. Anyway, the team has not arranged training tomorrow. Of course, Joni will not be idle tomorrow. He has contacted Sega and will go to shoot commercials tomorrow afternoon. Then meet Nike's people in the evening.
"It is worth mentioning in 10 games. The Chicago Bulls defeated the Nets 99:86 at home, Scott Pippen is still absent, Michael Jordan is in poor condition and only scored 15 points, but Steve Cole's 4 three-pointers and 21 points saved the Bulls, so they did not continue to lose the game in an uproar. The Heat welcomed Alonzo Moening back and defeated the Washington Wizards 114:106 at home..."
As Joni looked at it, he slowly fell asleep, and the sound of the TV echoed in the apartment. Joni had already started to snore slightly. This time he slept until noon the next day. Joni got up and had a hurry to have lunch. Then he rushed to the suburbs of Boston, where he took a group of photos and a short film for Sega, which took him half a day.
Then, Joni went to the Western Restaurant in downtown Boston, where he met with the brand leader of Nike. At this time, Jimmy Adams was still abroad. Joni took another agent in his team of agents to discuss the affairs of the Legendary Second Generation with Nike.
The Legendary Second Generation has been released, and Joni has also seen his latest sneakers. The entire sneaker is wrapped in reflective patent leather, and the upper contains the legendary Second Generation logo. A big "l", and the green and white color scheme also makes this shoe look very Celtic. The word "11" on the side of the shoe represents Joni's jersey number.
Joni also tried it in it, it felt very comfortable and light. (Refer to the zk5 in Kobe series)
After trying it on, Joni expressed his satisfaction. Soon, he set a release time with Nike's staff. Just before the home game a month later, Nike's company will hold a press conference to officially release the sneakers.
As Joni's bigger and better season, Nike also attached more importance to Joni. Not only did he quickly launch the second generation of Legends, but he also sent the brand leader they set up for the Legend series. Obviously, he wanted to refer to the operating method of Jordan sneakers.
I forgot these two things in a row. Jonny did not forget to go to the training hall. Chaunci Billups was still there to practice his three-pointers. Chaunci Billups started practicing for less than a week, and the effect was not very obvious. However, it was obvious that Chaunci Billups was unwilling to give up. He persisted in the past few days. On the contrary, Jonny often missed the extra practice at night because of this and that.
Seeing Chaunci Billups sweating profusely, Joni simply didn't go home immediately. He took off his suit and started practicing more.
Soon, Jonny didn't know how many balls he had shot. Anyway, his jerseys were soaked. Chaunci Billups and Jonny were playing on both sides and had no communication with each other. They knew that Michael Leon Carl was on the sidelines, so the two stopped to say hello to Carl.
"Jonny, I heard you have something to ask me for?" Carl didn't say nonsense. He got the news that Jonny wanted to talk to him in the morning. He just heard that Jonny was practicing more, so he came to Jonny.
Jonny nodded, then greeted Chauncey Billups and went to the office on the second floor. The two sat down at the desk, and Carl's secretary brought Jonny a glass of water.
"That's right, Carl, I think the team is playing well now, maybe we have a chance to enter the playoffs, so I think we have to strengthen and make the team stronger." Joni took a sip of water and went straight into the topic.
Carl nodded with a smile: "Of course, I think so, what kind of players do you think we need?"
"A power forward with mid-range shots and rebounds has the best offensive ability. I need such a player to help me open up space. Now the team's lineup makes me play, which is really a bit tired." Joni did not hesitate and directly said his request. In fact, this is also his right.
Carl nodded again and asked, "Your proposal is very good, but what kind of chips should we use?" This is obviously asking Joni who can't trade.
Joni thought for a while and replied: "I remember we didn't have a Magic Draft pick and a Wizards Draft pick? These two draft picks are quite valuable. In addition, players like Walter McArty and Greg Miner should be able to get a good power forward, but it's okay if you really can't do a center."
