Jenny Buss walked into the conference room, her face immediately filled with joy, and she walked towards Vince Carter very enthusiastically: "Long time no see, Vince, you look stronger than before. How are you? Did you have a good time this offseason?

Even if there is no chance, you must think that the alliance will be suspended for a long time."

Jenny Buss greeted her enthusiastically as soon as she came in. She has the ability to make awkward atmosphere disappear.

I feel like I'm very familiar with everyone.

Vince Carter shook hands with her politely, and then hugged Magic Johnson. They had a relationship in the past. There were also two Lakers assistants.

Obviously, the Lakers are very sincere. Their president and general manager came here and invited Vince Carter to join. This is an extraordinary treatment for Vince Carter today.

When they sat down, Vince Carter introduced himself. He said that he hoped to finish his career in a big city. Although he didn't know how long he could play, he felt that he still had a lot of gas in the tank.

.

Both Jeanie Buss and Magic Johnson praised Vince Carter's abilities, saying that Vince Carter was an aviation hero and alien in their minds.

Then, Jeanie Buss introduced the current situation of the Lakers: "As you know, our team now has the strongest starting lineup in the league, and it is also the strongest lineup in the league. The Lakers have never been stronger in history. We have the No. 1 point guard in the league.

Guard, the number one guard in the league, the top five power forwards in the league, and the top five centers in the league. We are about to become the first team in the new century to win four consecutive championships, and all of us are striving for this pioneering achievement."

"Vince Carter, you are such an outstanding person, you should join us. We can provide you with a three-year mid-level contract. I know that the championship is very attractive to you. Come to us, and the Purple and Gold Army will be yours."

So proud of you.”

An exciting speech by Jenny Bass.

At the end of her sentence, she opened her arms in a hug.

Vince Carter raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What role do you think I will play in this Lakers team?"

"An important rotation role. You also know that Kobe is not young anymore. He can no longer play the whole game like before. We need a star who can maintain efficient output during the rotation time. This person is you, Vince,

There is no one in the world who is more suitable for this role than you." Jenny Buss said excitedly.

Vince Carter frowned slightly when he heard Jenny Buss' words.

At this time, Magic Johnson continued: "You can become the sixth man of the team, and you will be our important leader in the second and third quarters. And, in the fourth quarter, you will still have a key role. All

The world knows that the triangle offense requires two ball-handling perimeters."

Um?

Magic himself felt weird when he said this, because the Lakers now have two ball-holding outsiders.

Vince Carter remained calm.

Jeanie Buss said: "We are willing to offer you a three-year contract worth $11.6 million. Although this contract will cost us more in the luxury tax, we are willing to do this for you."

Vince Carter thanks Jeanie Buss for believing in him.

Then, he talked with Jeanie Buss and Magic Johnson about many other things, including the Lakers' tactical direction next season and the ball balance between Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant.

Vince Carter cares deeply about the Lakers.

Both Jenny and the magician thought they had a chance to win.

The two sides had a great conversation, but the two sides did not complete the formal signing that day. Vince Carter just said that he still needed to consider it comprehensively, including contacting the Clippers.

Magic Johnson said that's how it should be.

He is more personable.

But Jeanie Buss said: "Vince, if I were you, I would not contact the Clippers at all. They are just hyping a concept now, hyping a false concept of revenge against the Lakers. Jack Fan is not really talented.

Otherwise, I would not trade him."

What she said was very insightful, and she expressed the hatred between her and Fan Xi so nakedly.

Vince Carter was a little unexpected. Normally, these big shots would hide it even if they disliked someone. It was extremely rare for Jenny Buss to do so.

He did not respond to this matter. Magic Johnson smoothed things over to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward, and then the two sides said goodbye politely.

…

"How sure do you think you are to win Vince Carter this time?" Jenny Buss asked Magic Johnson when she came out of the elevator on the first floor.

Magic Johnson said: "About 70%. It can be seen that Vince is very interested in the Lakers. Moreover, he can enjoy higher exposure by staying with the Lakers, and fans are also happy to see him and Kobe Bryant.

A special partner. The most important thing is that this is indeed the closest place to the championship in theory."

"It's not a theory, it's a reality. We are already the defending champion. The probability of Vince Carter joining the Lakers is not 70%, but 100%. As long as he has a brain that can think, he will choose the Lakers..."

Jenny Bass said firmly.

Before she finished speaking, Fan Xi and Carter's managers came from the other side.

Carter's agent immediately greeted Jenny Buss and the magician warmly.

Fan Xi walked into the elevator silently. He felt a cold sense of alienation and did not take Jenny Bass seriously.

This is their first head-to-head confrontation since the trade. Their victory or defeat depends on Vince Carter.

"You will definitely not get what you want."

Before the elevator door closed, Jenny Bass turned her head and said cold trash to Fan Xi.

boom!

The elevator door closed gently, isolating her stinky face.

…

Fanci met Vince Carter, who lit a cigar and stood in front of the conference room window looking at the scenery of Los Angeles.

Fan Xi walked over and said, "When I first came to Los Angeles, I also liked to stand by the window and watch the streets of Los Angeles. Because I liked playing Grand Theft Auto when I was very young, I could always find traces of Los Santos in Los Angeles.

"

Vince Carter laughed when he heard this and said, "Then you should go to Miami."

"Miami doesn't like me. I'm the most disliked person in Miami." Fan Xi said with a smile.

"This is not necessarily true. If you go to Miami and become a Heat player, I can guarantee that as much as they hate you now, they will love you more then." Vince Carter said with emotion: "The love, hate and hatred in professional sports will actually be the same.

It changes with the flow of time and space.”

"How is it? How is your recovery from your injury?" Vince Carter asked Fan Xi.

Fan Xi said: "My injury was not serious, maybe it was an exaggeration at the time."

"How's it going? Are you ready to reject the Los Angeles Lakers? They are very sincere." Fanci asked Vince Carter.

Vince Carter chuckled and asked Fanci: "Why are you so sure that I will reject the Lakers? The Lakers are the closest place to the championship."

"From what I know about you, Vince, you have no obsession with the championship. Therefore, the championship should not be the first influencing factor in your choice of team."

"What's more, why can't joining the Clippers win the championship faster than joining the Lakers? Both Stephen and Grant made the right choice. Others have already thought carefully about it for you. You just need to follow the smart people.

"

Fan Xi recounted, his tone full of confidence: "If you go to the Lakers, you can only become the shadow of Kobe. If you come to the Clippers, you are still Vince Carter. The degree of freedom you get is not something you can experience with the Lakers."

"I think you don't want to just be a cog in a strong team."

"Am I right? Vince."

Fanci asked Carter.

Carter smiled and said without comment: "You are a good lobbyist. But the Clippers don't even have a tactical system now..."

Fan Xi took out his paper and pen, he started drawing, and he said: "At least when Leonard grows up, you are our starting player, you will get your best here, the left waist area where you are best

Opportunity, I know that your ability is not top-notch anymore, and you can't break the real double attack, but I will attract defense for you here, and you can release your three abilities of "passing, cutting and shooting" that are not outstanding to the extreme. You

Behind you is the three-point shooter Dunleavy, you are flanked by me, and you are surrounded by two super talented men in the penalty area. Even when you are on the bench, you will be surrounded by Nash or Hamilton..."

Fanci described it to Carter.

Fanci was very direct. He unabashedly pointed out that Carter's three standard superstar equipment of "passing, cutting and shooting" are not the best.

Carter himself knows this, so he wants to transform.

But now, Fan Xi told him that his above-average energy can still be released, and he can still perform something similar to a superstar.

It's hard for him not to be moved.

Who has ever held power, who doesn’t want to experience privilege again?

There is no one who willingly becomes a supporting role. They just want to spend more time in the league.

"The Lakers offered me a three-year, $11.6 million contract, what about you?" Carter asked Fanci.

Fan Xi said: "I don't know. You need to ask Dunleavy about this."

Then Fanci dialed Dunleavy's number.

After Dunleavy Sr. became the general manager, his job became extremely easy. He seemed to only need to sign the contract.

Dunleavy Sr. gave Vince Carter a three-year, $11 million contract, which was fully guaranteed.

Vince Carter gladly accepted.

Although 600,000 is less, for Vince Carter, this 600,000 is not a particularly big loss. After all, almost half of it has to be taken away from taxes, and part of it is given to the league as a guarantee, and some is taken away by the agent.
