There were multiple instant trades in the draft, and the other teams were all in small fights, with the only notable being the Raptors' trade of Marcus Camby for Jermaine O'Neal and cash. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Both were first-round picks in 1996, and with some cash, they could have equal salaries, but looking at the data of the two, this is a completely unequal deal.

Both Camby and his agent, Rick Kaplan, think the Trail Blazers are a good fit to develop and are very happy.

Trail Blazers center Sabonis had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists last season, but he is 34 years old and has injuries to both knees, and everyone knows he is running out. Even if Camby is not immediately reused, he has a good chance of being in the position in the future.

Moreover, the Trail Blazers are very strong, and they are very different from the Raptors at the bottom.

The Trail Blazers management is even happier, the team's bench depth has improved, and it looks like it has the strength to win the championship.

Leaving the arena, Yang Rui greeted Vince Carter and Carter's mother, Michelle, and invited them to supper with Glenn to connect with each other.

Michelle supported her son to play, Carter University did not fall to watch a game, and today she came to the scene to see her son being selected, and cried excitedly, and her eyes were red at this time.

Thinking back on his previous life, Carter also wanted to cry a little, he lived a poor life before he went to college and got a scholarship.

At present, the proportion of black single-parent families in the United States is as high as about 70%, and one-third of black people have been in prison. Black areas are "in-urbanized" and "segregated", and the family structure is single-parent and the head of the household is feminized.

Carter grew up in such a harsh environment, and when he was in the second grade of elementary school, he experienced a major change in his family, his biological father abandoned him and his mother, and it was not easy for him to get to where he is today with his mother's meager salary.

His appearance is not good, Michelle, who is about 1.7 meters tall, is very enthusiastic and keeps saying good things about his son. "Jerry, you and Vince are about the same age, they will definitely become good friends, let's arrange more tactics for him in the new season, he will definitely be able to do it."

Glenn wanted to laugh next to him, the coach and the rookie were about the same age, and they could actually take this set closely.

"I will, that's why the Raptors drafted him." Yang Rui smiled.

"Really?" Michelle tugged at her son's arm. "Thank you Jerry."

Carter nodded hurriedly. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I can promise that you'll be the number one player next season, so you have to be ready for a tough season. If the holiday is extended due to the shutdown, don't relax and exercise. Yang Rui knew that Carter would not relax, so he still reminded him.

Now the mother and son are even happier. Carter wasn't the top performer, and the stats weren't as good as they were in college, and they were flattered to receive that promise. There aren't many rookies in the NBA who get that much of a salary.

Carter asked excitedly, "Do I have anything to focus on in the summer?" ”

"Focus on three-point practice, I'm good at arranging three-point tactics." Yang Rui paused, "Do you mainly play with or without the ball in college?" ”

"No ball." Carter replied.

Yang Rui immediately understood the reason for the poor data at Carter University. Jamison is responsible for attacking with the ball, and if the team doesn't have a corresponding off-ball screening tactic, he will have a hard time getting stats.

Even if Ray Allen and Alan Houston can't run out of big gaps without teammates to cover, each team has people who are good at following and defending, and good players are good at integrating into the offensive system.

"If you have the conditions, you can also practice more breakthroughs in the summer, and in the Raptors you have to attack with the ball, at least one-on-one heads-up on counterattacks to ensure the success rate." Yang Rui said solemnly.

If Carter runs to catch the ball, then he will become Reggie Miller's successor, how can he still be popular?

Not only Carter, but other newcomers in the Raptors also have to practice singles, because the main tactic he will play in the new season is running and shooting, and there will be a lot of one-on-one heads-up.

The four of them chatted for more than an hour after drinking drinks and snacks, and were ready to go back to the hotel.

Yang Rui said to Carter: "Vince, if you can trust me, don't rush to sign a sneaker endorsement contract in the summer, even if there is a company with a higher bid, don't easily agree." ”

"Why?" Carter was short of money, and it was difficult for him to refuse a company to send money.

Yang Rui explained: "I can guarantee that as long as you don't get injured, you have a good chance of winning the Rookie of the Year next season. Your value will gradually increase over the course of the season, and now brands are approaching you to sign you, only looking at your potential and university stats, not giving you a top-tier contract. If you sign a long-term contract, you will lose a lot of money, and if you sign it after the regular season, I think Nike and Adidas will make bids on you. ”

"Uh...... Is this possible? "Carter wasn't confident, he was only the second on the team in college.

"I'm optimistic about you, and you have to be optimistic about yourself." Yang Rui smiled: "You will be the boss of a team in your rookie season, and you have to sign a contract worthy of your identity." ”

Yang Rui said this, whether he listens or not, it depends on Carter's choice.

In his previous life, Carter had just entered the league and chose to sign with Puma and launch the signature shoe, which was three generations. Carter began to complain about Puma after suffering an injury, and finally terminated the contract, and Nike paid a fee for default.

Puma's midsole honeycomb cushioning technology is better for jogging and too soft on basketball shoes. After terminating the contract with Carter, Puma did not do the NBA market anymore, and the focus shifted to track and field and racing.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Carter is destined to regret it if he signs a contract with Puma, who is not good at making basketball shoes.

Later, because of dissatisfaction with the business aspects of his agent Blake, Carter terminated his contract with Blake's company in 2000, and the two sides went to court. Blake filed a $14 million claim against Carter for Carter's breach of contract, and the court ultimately ordered Blake to pay Blake $467,560 in economic damages.

No matter what Carter does, Yang Rui has no money to make, and he cares about this because he is worried that the long-term tearing with Puma and his agent will affect Carter's mood to play, and then affect the whole Raptors team.

The next day, Canadian media reported on the draft and the day's trade, and Toronto fans generally expressed their displeasure with the Camby trade, with Glenn Gruward under pressure.

"How can a garbage player like Jermaine O'Neal be traded for Camby alone? Shady! There must be something shady! ”

"With this lineup, the Raptors will definitely continue to be at the bottom next season, and the only thing to watch is what statistics the newcomer Carter can play, I heard that he is very good at dunking."

"How can the team have a future if the management messes around like this?"

"It's over, Jerry Young was miserably pitted, no one can win this kind of bad team as a coach, he only signed a one-year contract, he won't be fired soon, right?"

Yang Rui did not give an interview, but flew back to New York to enjoy the vacation. He doesn't care about the fans' doubts at all, and the season will start to know by itself.

Other big media didn't report too much about the players, and people didn't care about deals, but about labor negotiations.

Everyone realized that the shutdown was inevitable.
