"Adrian, I have watched videos of him playing, and I have to say that he is a guy with unlimited potential. But it is still too early for him to be an All-Star. Now he should think more about improving his abilities and playing steadily.
I want to improve my skills instead of thinking about these unattainable things. All-Star? I don’t care anymore, I have already been there many times, and all I care about now is the championship.” When Allen Iverson was in
He said this in an interview with Denver media.
For such a high-profile game, the media certainly cannot miss any opportunity for speculation. Interviewing players from both teams before the game is absolutely a necessary procedure, especially the core players who are the focus, which must be an important part of the interview.
The most important thing.
Allen Iverson's words during the interview can be described as being fair and subtle. What is "something out of reach"? This is clearly a satire on Adrian's inability to be included in the All-Star list.
among.
Compared with the former Allen Iverson, Allen Iverson, who was abandoned by the Sixers, seemed to have matured a lot overnight. Although he was still arrogant and full of fighting spirit, he was no longer the outspoken one.
He has become a little man, and now he has learned to think about his every word and action.
"Not worse than anyone else? I think Kobe should get glasses." Compared to his teammate Allen Iverson, the core of the Denver Nuggets, starting small forward Carmelo Anthony is undoubtedly much younger and also
He was much more energetic. When facing the media interview, he bluntly sarcastically said: "Can't he see clearly? Not to mention the entire league, just in the Western Conference, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash,
Deron Williams is much better than that rookie, especially Allen. He should learn to look up to him. I will prove to you that the results he achieved previously were just a fluke."
"Oh, tell Cameron for me that my eyesight is very good and he doesn't need to worry. I think there may be something wrong with his hearing, otherwise he shouldn't be unable to hear Adrian's achievements."
Who is Kobe Bryant? A man who is unruly and conceited and will never admit defeat. Faced with Cameron's provocation in front of the media, he did not hesitate to choose a fierce counterattack: "At least I can be sure that Adrian will
No one can compete with Adrian for the Rookie of the Year award this year. But who was the Rookie of the Year in 2004? Although I don’t remember clearly, I’m sure it wasn’t Cameron. So, right away.
Derian is about to get an honor that he will never get in his life, and I don't think he has the right to judge Andre under this situation."
Kobe Bryant's counterattack was really sharp, and this matter has always been Carmelo's worry. In his rookie season in the 2003-04 season, Carmelo Anthony averaged 36 minutes per game and scored two goals.
Eleven points and six rebounds. In the past few years, this data has undoubtedly made him the Rookie of the Year winner. But there is also James in the same year as him!
To be fair, the data of the two are comparable in all aspects. Both of them also won the Rookie of the Month in the East and West for six consecutive months. However, in the final selection of the Rookie of the Year, he still lost.
James, this makes Carmelo Anthony, who considers himself the leader of the 2003-1 class, unhappy!
"Kobe should keep his mouth shut. It's not his turn to comment on my affairs."
"I am the scoring champion and a member of three consecutive championships. What are you?"
"Just like Barkley said, I can still win a championship ring by following O'Neal!"
"That's really weird. Why didn't Malone get the ring?"
Under the media's deliberate provocation, the heated exchanges between the players on both sides escalated again. Immediately, most other members of the two teams also participated. Using the media as a platform for the rapid transmission of information, another round of competition started.
A verbal confrontation. Kobe's slip of the tongue even involved the long-retired Malone, which intensified the flames of the war. Countless basketball stars could not sit still and stood up to express their opinions on this game.
view……
Relatively speaking, Adrian seemed too calm. Not only did he not take the initiative to make any remarks, he even avoided interviews with the media. Regarding Adrian's behavior, Ryan, who has been transferred to Adrian's full-time agent,
Quite unhappy.
"Don't worry, it won't be of much benefit to me to deal with the media now." By the swimming pool at his home, Adrian was lying on a lounge chair in his pajamas and said relaxedly: "I will accept interviews from the media, but that's
After the game is over. Before the game is over, no matter what I say, I will be labeled as arrogant."
Ryan nodded, accepting Adrian's explanation. At the same time, he picked up the document in his hand and said: "Nike hopes to sign you and make you its endorsed player. They have already made a preliminary offer.
A five-year, fifteen million contract, what do you think?"
"Fifteen million in five years?" Adrian couldn't help but smile sarcastically. To be honest, Nike's contract is really not sincere. Fifteen million in five years is not enough in one year.
With an income of 3 million, Adrian's salary is higher than this.
No need to answer
"Should I reject it directly, or make a higher offer."
"Reject directly. Tell them that I have no plans to sign an endorsement contract now." Adrian said without hesitation: "Are there any other endorsement contracts?"
"Yes, but most of them are small brands..."
"It seems that my development is not going well."
"Well, because you haven't gone through the development and baptism of the NCAA, but as long as you develop smoothly and continue to achieve results, the gap in the initial period will always be eliminated." Both Adrian and Ryan understood.
What exactly does he lack? As an undrafted player, Adrian was almost unknown in high school and college. Unlike James and Cameron, they were already talented superstars in college.
, even though his results after entering the NBA are quite good, after all, he lacks accumulation and is not even as good as Brandon Roy, Aldridge and other rookies of the same period. Although the NBA is recognized by the world as the top player in world basketball
Hall of Fame, but in the United States, one thing I have to admit is that the NCAA attracts more attention than the NBA.
"Then just like this, you sort out the contracts you think are worthy of endorsement and show them to me. As for Nike, they will make me a higher offer soon!"
