Chapter 822 (2/2)
The old Carter style has been famous all his life, but he has never been associated with the championship. Therefore, his desire to win the championship should also be very strong, it is unlikely to refuse the invitation of the champion team.
At the end of the first round of last season's playoffs, link also regretted that Carter could not play in a better environment. If he can join a championship level team, such as the Grizzlies, it will certainly play a maximum role, reflecting greater value.
I didn't expect that now, let Carter join the Grizzlies opportunity really come!
If Carter really trains with link in the summer, then link guarantees that Carter's condition will certainly be stable!
And Carter such veteran, in the playoffs can play a greater role. His experience, his perseverance and his professional attitude are all excellent.After discussing with Wallace for a while, the Grizzlies decided to try. But Wallace was not the first to contact Carter, but link to contact Carter.
Wallace believes that link himself will be more likely to succeed in the recruitment. After all, I can see that Carter is very appreciative of link.
So link called Carter that afternoon.
”Is the time of the training camp determined so soon? When I called you in the morning, didn't you say it was still planned? ” Old Carter was surprised to hear from link.
When he contacted link to train with him in the morning, link also said that the training time might be arranged in a few days. But just a few hours later, link called back.
”I'm not calling you about training camp, Vince.”
”Oh? Do you still want to ask me to play golf? ” Carter laughed.
”It's not golf either. I'm calling to confirm that after your contract with the Mavericks has expired, you haven't reached an agreement with any team this summer?”
Listen to link ask this question, Carter instantly serious. As a veteran, he certainly knows what link means.
”Did I hear you correctly? The best defensive player, MVP, fmvp and double Slam winner are recruiting an old man who is nearly 40 years old? ” Carter asked with self mockery.
”Hey hey, didn't you say you want to train with me? If you come to Memphis, we can train together every day. And, no matter how old you are, as long as you have that desire, you can perform. I believe you still have that desire, the desire to win, right? ”
When Carter said this, Carter suddenly fell silent.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the summer of 2002, 12 years ago. Maybe it's because this is the first time since that summer that Carter has been talking to a Chinese for such a long time.
In the summer of 2002, Carter came to China for the first time and was interviewed by Chinese journalists for the first time.
At that time, Xinlang reporter asked him a question, a similar question about the championship, ”does the Raptors hope to win the NBA championship?”
At that time, Carter was very confident, ”of course, it is possible. If we can adjust the lineup of raptors, we can maintain a relatively stable lineup on this basis, reaching one to two years, or even longer. So on the basis of the core players to play out the potential of these players, I think, finally get at least one NBA championship ring is completely possible
In the summer of 2002, the world did not know who Yao Ming was, and the ”OK group” had just established a dynasty. Vince Carter was still full of vigor and youth. At least he believes that he can win the championship.
