Chapter 8 New Season Squad

"Li Jun, and Jimmy Adams, welcome to our company's U.S. branch, I'm Yoshiki Okada, the head of Sega in the United States, and this is Paul Crockett, the head of the upcoming Sega-Sports."

Jonny glanced up at the building in front of him, it was a very creative building, like a CD. In later generations, such buildings were everywhere even in China, but in the 90s, even in the United States, there were very few such buildings.

And the Asian man who had just greeted Jonny, after talking to Jonny, found out that the goods were Japanese, but it was not surprising, after all, Sega was a Japanese company. On the contrary, the head of Sega's new sports game company is an American, which is somewhat unusual. But come to think of it, Japan is not good at sports, and an American may have to do it as a last resort.

Jonny followed them into the building, and then came to an office with several computers in the office, and the open computer was even more interested in the display on the monitor www.quledu.com the "No > Wrong" novel.

"This is an NBA-live game developed by EA, and we are going to develop a game called NBA2K, of course, this game is still being studied, and the first game is expected to be auditioned between 1998 and 1999, and we believe it is a better game than NBAs." American Paul Crockett introduced. (I made a mistake in the previous article, Sega's basketball game should be 2k, I didn't see the information before, and the VIP chapter is not easy to change, so I won't change it, everyone knows it.) )

Jonny nodded, he still knows a lot about the game, and NBA2K is indeed better than NBAlive in the future. In particular, the 2K's original career mode attracts a large number of basketball fans to live an NBA addiction in the game.

Hearing this, Jonny wanted to take over the endorsement, after all, even those NBA superstars in later generations were proud to be on the 2K cover, and Jonny was naturally no exception, thinking that he would be the cover of the first 2K game. I was a little excited.

"We're inviting you to come, yes, our first game, it's going to be promoted in 1998, you're going to have to shoot a few commercials for us, and you're going to be there for some off-season events, we're going to put it in the contract, and you're going to be the cover of the first 2K game!"

Hear Paul Crockett's last words. Jonny laughed, originally the covers of the first four NBA2K models were Aaron Iverson, but in this life, Jonny stole the name of Iverson's 96 generation spokesperson, and the spokesperson task of the 2K game fell to Jonny, thinking that there is still a kind of law.

And Jonny also agreed to Sega's proposal without hesitation, although the other party is a Japanese company, but the amount of endorsement makes Jonny very excited. 5000w USD for 5 years, 1000W per year. But in the past five years, Jonny has a lot to do. Of course, what attracted Johnny the most was the cover.

Soon, Jonny signed the contract offered by Sega, and another endorsement was won by him.

After negotiating a game endorsement, Jonny headed to Long Beach. This time last year, he played summer league here, and this year, he's wearing a Celtics jersey in a private training gym in Long Beach. Several trainers sent by the Celtics are waiting for Jonny, and Briandu, who has become Jonny's queen trainer, also appears here.

At the same time, Jonny also met with his royal physiotherapist Judi Seto for the first time, and as soon as they met, Jonny did his first physiotherapy under Judi Seto and then began his special training.

This summer, Jonny needs to strengthen his ball control and offensive footwork, and of course, the rest can't be left behind, and several trainers hired by the Celtics are to solve these problems for Jonny.

While Jonny was training day in and day out in California, the Celtics' Summer League team ended the summer league with an 8-2 record, and several of the tryouts who ended up participating in the summer league managed to stay.

John Thomas, the power forward who was drafted by the Knicks in the first round and then waived, ended up signing a three-year rookie contract with the Celtics because of his outstanding performance in the Summer League. Dota Jones, the small forward who was also drafted by the Knicks in the first round and then waived, ended up signing a three-year contract with the Celtics because of his three-point shooting.

In addition, there is another named Bruce Bowen, who played in the CBA league last season and also made a cameo appearance with the Miami Heat, but then was waived. In Summer League, Carl took a fancy to his defense and eventually signed him to a two-year contract. And Jonny doesn't know any of these players, and if he were a fan in the future, he might jump up when he hears Bruce Bowen's name, and then let the team keep Bruce Bowen no matter what.

But unfortunately, Jonny is not, he doesn't know any Bruce Bowen, so he doesn't have any ideas about these players.

In addition to the three players signed in the summer league, the Celtics also signed Walter McCarty on a two-year contract in free agency and Teyus Edney from the Kings on a one-year contract.

At this point, the Celtics' 15-man lineup is complete, but the interior line that has been trying to be strengthened has not been able to be strengthened in the end. However, Ben Wallace's cameo appearance as a center in the summer league and his good performance in rebounding protection have already led Rick Pitino to decide to start Big Ben for the new season. The final Celtics' 15-man lineup is as follows:

Point guards: Chauncey Billups, Dana Barros, Teus Edney

Shooting guards: Jonny Lee, Dee Brown, Greg Miner, Eric Washington

Small forwards: Tim Thomas, Bruce Bowen, Dota Jones

Power forwards: Walter McCarty, Pevis Ellison, John Thomas

Centre-forwards: Ben Wallace, Mark Blunt

In this lineup, only Jonny Lee and Dana Barros have proven their strength in the NBA, like Di Brown, who has not contributed much to the team due to injuries; Teyus Edney is old; Pevis Ellison has long been depleted by injuries. Maybe Walter McCarty and Greg Mayner could be added, but the lineup is still unbelievably shabby.

So much so that when the Celtics announced the release of the 15-man lineup, most of the American media shouted: "Magic has made a lot of money!" They'll get a champion lot! ”

That's right, there are already media clamoring that the Celtics will continue to be the bottom number one next season! Because the Celtics' lineup is so bad, except for Jonny, the only player who is really a starter is Dana Barros, and super rookies like Chauncey Billups and Tim Thomas, even if they can contribute, it is still unknown how much help they can contribute.

Therefore, in the eyes of experts from all walks of life, the Celtics' lineup is a super bad lineup, with no hope of the playoffs, and the possibility of being the first from the bottom is very high! There's even a joke: "If the Celtics don't take the first place, who will take the first place?" If the Bulls don't win the championship, who wins? It vividly speaks of the rotten realm of the Celts.

The outside world is full of unfavorable comments about the Celtics, and it is in this state that Jonny's special training in Long Beach has welcomed a new batch of members, Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups and Tim Thomas, who have just finished summer league, have been sent here by Rick Pitino to train with Jonny.

A few days later, Eric Washington and Mark Blunt arrived, and they decided to use the opportunity to train themselves and adapt to the NBA early by training with Jonny.

In this somewhat small training hall, Jonny looked at several teammates in front of him, and he smiled: "Next season we are going to play side by side, the outside is full of unfavorable about us, they are always saying, you are a bad team, super bad team, even with Jonny Lee, it is still like this, but I don't think so, because they don't think about you!" ”

"Ben, I've heard that Coach Rick is going to make you the team's starting center for the new season, do you think you're as bad as those reporters out there say?". Jonny looked at the big man with whom he had a good relationship.

However, Big Ben showed some hesitation, which made Jonny a little dissatisfied, this Nima asked you to help improve your confidence, but it turned out that you didn't have any confidence of your own

"Ben, I don't have the impression that you're the kind of person who doesn't have confidence, and I remember when I played training camp in Chicago with you, you were arguing for the ball." Jonny slightly stimulated Big Ben.

Big Ben really opened his mouth to express his determination: "That's right, I think those reporters are talking nonsense, I have confidence in myself!" Believe me, in the new season, I will guard the inside line for everyone! ”

And then, Jonny asked the rookies Chauncy Billups in the same way, and in the same way, they all showed their determination under Jonny's stimulation. As the boss of the team, Jonny has the qualifications to lecture them, and Jonny also knows that in addition to Big Ben has been designated as the team's starting center for the new season, Tim Thomas has also been designated as the team's starting small forward.

Chaunsibilups, on the other hand, has not been able to compete with Danabaros for the time being, so he can only serve as the team's second point guard first.

For this team, Jonny is still very confident, first of all, his own strength, after getting the Desert Butcher, Jonny is confident to lead this group of teammates, the Desert Butcher's breakthrough point is the best help for this group of teammates who are good at three-point shooting.

On top of that, Jonny is also confident in himself, even if his teammates can't find his form, Jonny is confident that he can win the game by going it alone!

Time passed quickly, the special training ended quickly, and their group of rookie players soon rushed to Boston, where they began the training camp for the new season. (To be continued......)
