Chapter 25: The Second Generation of Legends
In November, when the weather was getting colder, the Celtics rushed back to Boston from cold Midorgee overnight, and after the first week of the new season, they had a rare four-day break to shoot an NBA2K game commercial for Sega. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry? At the same time, he also had to meet with the head of the brand at Nike, and it was said that his new sneakers had been made.
However, as soon as he returned to Boston, the most important thing for Jonny was to sleep, after all, it was already late at night when they flew back from Midorki, but this time, Jimmy Adams didn't call to annoy him, and Jonny couldn't sleep.
Boston is not a big city, the night here is very quiet, and the place where Jonny lives is very close to Harvard University, at this time, you can open the curtains and you can see the lights of the Harvard University Library in the distance. During this time, Jonny was a little emotional, he played very good statistics, and if the statistics of the first week can be maintained all the time, then it will be an unprecedented gorgeous stat.
However, Jonny felt very tired, played 6 games, played more than 40 minutes in each game, needed to take care of everything on the court, scored, needed Jonny, assists also needed Jonny, rebounding, although there is a big book to share the pressure, but Jonny is also indispensable. I need to carry everything by myself, which is obviously very tiring.
Jonny thinks he has to talk to Mr. Karl, the team needs new signings, at least Jonny thinks the team's power forward is a little too bad, and the point guard can wait for Chauncey's growth, power forward, the team doesn't even have a pure power forward! Walter McCarty is a small forward, and Tim Thomas has been playing as a small forward before.
If the team can get a pure power forward, Jonny believes that it will be very helpful to the team, firstly, Jonny hopes that this power forward must have a certain mid-range shooting ability, be able to open up space, and secondly, have a certain rebounding ability, be able to share Jonny's rebounding pressure. However, such players are destined to be very difficult to find. Jonny will only have to give his opinion when the time comes.
Thinking about it, Jonny still couldn't sleep, and he turned on the TV.
"There are a total of 10 games in the NBA today, and the Charlotte Hornets defeated the Indiana Pacers 89-82. Chicago Bulls beat Nets 99-86" live broadcast of the game on the sports channel finally got a little intrigued by Jonny, and he decided not to sleep and take a look at the current situation of the other teams. Anyway, there is no training scheduled for tomorrow, and of course, Jonny will not be idle tomorrow. He has already contacted Sega and will go to shoot the commercial tomorrow afternoon. Then I'll meet up with the people at Nike in the evening.
In 10 games, it is worth mentioning that the Chicago Bulls beat the Nets 99-86 at home, Scott Pippen is still absent, Michael Jordan is in poor form and only scored 15 points, but Steve Kerr's 4 three-pointers and 21 points saved the Bulls and kept them from causing an upset and continuing to lose. The Heat welcome Alonzo Mourning back to beat the Washington Wizards 114-106 at home.
Jonny watched and slowly fell asleep, the sound of the TV echoing through the apartment. And Jonny was already snoring slightly. After sleeping until noon the next day, Jonny got up and hurried to lunch, and rushed to the outskirts of Boston, where he took a set of photos and a short film for Sega, which took him half a day's work.
Next, Jonny went to a western restaurant in downtown Boston, where he met with Nike's head of branding. At this time, Jimmy Adams was still abroad, and Jonny brought another agent from his agent team to negotiate with Nike about the second generation of legends.
The second generation of the legend has been released. And Jonny also saw his latest sneakers, the entire sneaker is wrapped in reflective patent leather, and the upper has the logo of the legendary second generation, a big "L". The green and white color scheme also makes this shoe look very green, and the "11" on the side of the shoe represents Jonny's jersey number.
Jonny also tried it on, and it felt very comfortable and light. (Refer to the zk5 in the Kobe series)
After trying it on, Jonny said he was very satisfied, and it was very fast. He and his Nike staff set a date for the release, and just before the home game in a month's time, Nike will hold a press conference to officially release the sneaker.
And in the case that Jonny is getting bigger and better this season, Nike is also paying more and more attention to Jonny, not only quickly launching the second generation of Legends, but also sending the brand manager they set up for the Legend series, which is obviously to refer to the operation of Jordan sneakers.
Forgot these two things in a row, Jonny didn't forget to go to the training gym, Chauncy Billups was still there to practice his three points, Chaunsi Billups started to practice less than a week, and the effect was not very obvious, but obviously Chaunsi Billups was unwilling to give up, he has persevered in the past few days, but Jonny is often absent from evening practice because of such and such things.
Seeing Chauncy Billups sweating profusely, Jonny simply didn't go home immediately, he took off his suit and went down to practice.
Soon, Jonny didn't know how many shots he had thrown, anyway, his jersey was soaked, Chauncy Billups and Jonny practiced on both sides, and there was no communication with each other, knowing that Michael Leon Carr appeared on the sidelines, the two stopped to say hello to Carl.
"Jonny, I heard you're looking for me?" Carl didn't talk nonsense, he got the news in the morning that Jonny wanted to talk to him, and just heard that Jonny was training, so he came to find Jonny.
Jonny nodded, then said hello to Chauncey Billups and went up to his office on the second floor. The two sat down at their desks, and Carl's secretary brought Jonny a glass of water.
"That's right, Karl, I think the team is playing well at the moment and maybe we have a chance to make the playoffs, so I think we have to strengthen and make the team stronger." Jonny took a sip of water and went straight to the point.
Karl smiled and nodded: "Of course, I think I do too, what kind of players do you think we need?" ”
"A big forward with mid-range shots and rebounds, it's better to have a stronger offense, I need a player like that to help me open up space, and now the lineup is a bit tiring for me to play." Jonny didn't hesitate and said what he wanted, which was actually his right.
Karl nodded again, then asked, "Your proposal is good, but what kind of chips should we use?" "It's obviously asking Jonny which players can't be traded.
Jonny thought for a moment and replied, "I remember we didn't have a Magic pick and a Wizards pick?" These two draft picks have some value, plus players like Walter McCarty and Greg Meiner, they should be able to trade for a good power forward, but it is also okay to have a center. ”
Karl nodded again and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll find the right player as soon as possible." (To be continued.) )xh118
