From joining the Celtics in 2007 to leaving today full of disappointment, Ray Allen's five years in the Celtics can only be described as ups and downs. He has been placed on the trading shelf more than once, has a bad relationship with Rondo and does not give the ball on the field, and even has to give way to the young Bradley and play as a substitute. All these make the greatest shooter in history cold. Concerned, West also grasped this point and persuaded the veteran to consider the Nets.

Although the team made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, in the eyes of the outside world, the Nets more or less took advantage of the Bulls' injuries and easier schedule, and the team had no problem facing the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. The performance of resistance has also lowered the outside world's evaluation of the gold content of the team's results this season, although the Heat's opponent in the finals, the Thunder, only won one more game than them. . . . . .

Although his performance in the past season was mediocre due to his relationship with the team, after all, he is the top scorer in history and Ray Allen, who became a free agent, is still very sought-after. The championship team hopes that he can bring fire support to the team, and the rebuilt team is willing to offer him a contract to let him play the role of mentor. He is very popular in the free market. The teams chasing him include the Heat, Clippers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and more.

The meeting place was at a gun meeting in Brooklyn. When West brought Ray Allen on the stage, Jiang Mingliang had already started rapid-fire training in the shooting gallery.

"Weifo style holding gun." Seeing Jiang Mingliang's professional gun posture, Lei Allen knew that he was an expert.

The Weaver-style gun is currently a popular shooting posture in the world. It has the characteristics of small exposure area, fast gun positioning speed, strong stability, good directivity, strong deterrence, and rapid and continuous shooting. This method is particularly effective for continuous shooting at group targets with a pistol. It can reliably overcome the influence of external conditions on shooting. It is beneficial to combine the terrain and topography of the site, use bunkers or shelters to shoot in various postures, and hit the target quickly and accurately. , this grip is more suitable for actual combat.

Sure enough, Jiang Mingliang finished ten rounds in one breath, and his hand was steady, and his score finally exceeded 90 points (out of 109 points). This is the level of an amateur master.

"I don't need to introduce, you should all know each other." West said first, "issac, I thought you were accommodating Lei, but I didn't expect you to come to play by yourself!"

"Mr. Jiang, hello!" As soon as Ray Allen opened his mouth, it showed that he was different from most athletes in the league. He actually spoke British orthodox English. Moreover, when saying hello, Lei Allen even bowed slightly to accommodate Jiang Mingliang, who was a little "short" in height.

"Hello." Jiang Mingliang nodded slightly and stretched out a hand.

Ray Allen hastily stretched out his hands to hold it, and he did a great job in terms of polite details.

Compared with the negotiations with other people, who came straight to the point when they came up, the communication between Jiang Mingliang and Lei Allen was gradual, gradually shifting from the hobby of shooting to Lei Allen's family background. Unlike most black stars, Ray Allen was born in a military family. Affected by his family, Ray Allen is meticulous in everything he does, because he often moved when he was a child, and it is not easy to get along with others in interpersonal relationships. He never drank alcohol during the season and is a man of all standards, which makes him live in a different world from the typical black player. When Garnett and Pierce took Rondo to a club party, Ray Allen was probably reading, playing the piano, or watching an opera.

"There is an old saying in China that a gentleman is harmonious but different. I don't think it is a bad thing to keep a distance from colleagues." The consistent style of the Nets is to seek common ground while reserving differences. The Nets are also considered a multinational team. Vichy is from Lithuania, Baynes is from New Zealand, Fernandez is from Spain, Jeremy Lin is Chinese-American, while Lopez, Anderson, and Korver are white players, but under the management of West and Stevens , and nothing went wrong. Compared with the Celtics, who are more cultured, the Nets' locker room is more tolerant.

This is also an advantage they have over other competitors. To compete for the championship, Ray Allen's hope of going to the Heat to win the championship is much higher than that of the Nets, but in a sense, it is just a replica of the Celtics locker room. The leader of the Celtics locker room is Garnett, while the core of the Heat's locker room is Janeway.

"I am 37 years old. Subjectively, I will go all out in every game, but the reality is that I can't guarantee that the state of each game will always be at the highest level. I need the team to give me enough Trust, not when I am in a trough, I can’t wait to trade my mind.” Ray Allen continued to talk about the promise he wanted, and if the Nets didn’t have a trade between George and Curry this summer, the Nets The team is a satisfying place to go, but the practice of trading one's own star is a little bit chilling.

"There are only two players in the league who would attract me to trade George. One is Durant and the other is Curry. I don't care about the others." Jiang Mingliang said firmly, "Ray, you can also take a look, I Since taking over the Nets, I have never irresponsibly traded veterans who have defected to the Nets to teams they are not willing to go to. Within the scope of my ability, I am still willing to listen to the opinions of the players themselves." Even if George is traded away, It was also sent to the economically developed Bay Area, and it can be regarded as one of the most livable places in the United States.

"Curry..." Even Ray Allen himself doesn't think that Curry is really the second most valuable player in the league.

"In front of your face, I still dare to say this sentence. Curry will become the best shooter in the history of the league, bar none."

Shrugging, Ray Allen looked calm, "Maybe."

"We are also looking forward to the deterrence when Ray Allen, Curry, and Korver stand outside the three-point line together. I think that is the most terrifying perimeter containment in history." West said.

Jiang Mingliang offered Ray Allen a two-year 12 million contract, and made a promise that he would never actively trade Ray Allen during the contract period, which can be regarded as impressing the veteran.

"I will seriously consider this contract." Before parting, Ray Allen gave Jiang Mingliang and Stevens very positive feedback.

Satisfactory team positioning, enough respect, a city that is very suitable for my daily life, a decent contract, a group of teammates who can help me, a team that can beat the Celtics, it seems really suitable . Of course, after shopping around, Ray Allen must also meet with other teams. It can only be said that the Nets took the lead.
