Eating is very important for professional players, the energy consumption of daily training and games is very huge, if you don't eat well, you will naturally not practice well.

For this reason, Min Congda certainly has to take a good look at the Clippers' food level.

The Clippers have hired a dedicated team of chefs to serve the players, and the menu in the training hall restaurant is rich and varied.

"Seafood fried rice, this fried chicken looks good, come a little...... Not too much, I'm going to eat something else. ”

"There are a lot of grilled shrimp, the shrimp are very nutritious, rich in protein and delicious, bring me two servings, add more seasoning! Grilled fish is also ok, don't grill it too much......"

"What are the vegetables? Broccoli? It's nutritious but I don't like it, so get some lettuce, red cabbage, chickpeas, snow peas, and mashed potatoes! Add some sauce, it's good..."

"Do you have drinks? Is there any black tea? Don't have black tea? This is not good, it is good to prepare some black tea, improve ...... Let's start with a milkshake. Is there a coke? Nor either, well, another glass of soda. ”

Min Congda's ability to eat is still very strong.

There were a bunch of food on the plate, and I basically tasted all the dishes in the restaurant.

Conclusion: rich and balanced nutrition, the taste is passable, in terms of Chinese eating habits, the color and aroma are almost meaningful, but they are all passing.

The most important thing is that the amount is large, and it doesn't cost money, which is very important for Min Congda, who is currently short of money to spend.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the clothing system prepared for him, living and traveling do not have to worry about living and traveling, only eat every day.

The start of the summer league is July 13th, and there are more than two weeks left, and we have to wait until the team loses and pays salaries.

During the meal, Coach Dunleavy sat opposite Min Congda with a dinner plate, looked at the pile in front of Min Congda, and said: "Mr. Smart, you not only have a good shooting talent, but you can also see that you are similar to a professional player in terms of appetite, maybe you should become a professional player." ”

Min Congda didn't care about the sarcasm in Lao Deng's words, and said, "If I had met you earlier, maybe I would have embarked on this road." ”

Thinking about it, Min Congda's sports talent is still good, but his parents never thought of letting him take the road of sports since he was a child.

They uphold the traditional concept that poor literature and martial arts are rich, and children from poor families should study more, and practicing sports is not a proper job, and they will be second-rate and unproductive when they come out in the future.

After only a few days in the United States, Min Congda has already discovered that sports are an incomparably huge industry here, and it is a promising employment option.

Deng Leavy saw that Min Congda was not angry with himself, and his attitude softened, and he was not prickly in his words.

He asked solemnly, "Mr. Smart, what are your plans and intentions for the new season?" ”

Min Congda took a bite of fried chicken, and he wanted to say, "I plan to make the Clippers rot to the end," but he couldn't. Besides, the Clippers have no room to descend.

But Min Congda doesn't want Dunleavy to lead the team to play well, and if he wins more games, what will happen to his salary? What about $300 million?

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any specific plans, and I don't have any record requirements, so don't focus on winning or losing for a while." I think the most important thing for the team is ...... The most important thing is to let everyone give full play to their talents and realize their own value! Let the players in the team tap their potential and play happily, which is the first priority! ”

Min Congda's answer made old Dunleavy stunned, it was the first time he heard the general manager put forward such a goal.

The NBA head coach is a very stressful position, winning is always the first priority, and once the record is not good, the head coach is the first to take the blame.

Dunleavy has been the head coach of the Lakers since 1990 and reached the Finals that season, losing to the Bulls, but it also gave him a foothold in the league.

After four unsuccessful seasons with the Bucks, he has established himself as a quasi-coach with impressive results for both the Trail Blazers and the Clippers.

The team managers he has worked with are all well-known figures, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Bob Whitzter, and working with Dunleavy will give him plenty of support, but also a lot of pressure.

The ability to resist pressure is always the basic quality of NBA head coaches, so their expressions on the sidelines are always bitter and hateful.

After a few years as a head coach, there is no difference in complexion, and the face is not old, this position is really boiling.

Dunleavy is not young, the Clippers are in turmoil, and the team has been disappointing in terms of personnel and morale in the past three seasons.

When Raheem Sterling called him to inform him that someone had taken his place as general manager, he readily agreed, not going to the draft meeting at all, and not taking the initiative to meet the new general manager.

He thought that if the new general manager put pressure on himself in terms of the team's record and made various plans, he would simply leave it at that, anyway, his annual salary was millions of dollars, and it would have been enough for him to make tens of millions of dollars in the Clippers, and he would go home with his children.

Unexpectedly, this new general manager not only has a high level of self-cultivation, but also has a very different idea, and wants everyone to play happily, explore their potential, and don't care about winning or losing?

Where did Sterling, the door-picking capitalist, find this strange thing, he doesn't want to make money selling tickets? Don't want to speculate on the market value of the Clippers and sell them?

Dunleavy Sr. became a little interested in Min Congda and wanted to see what kind of splash this guy could make with the Clippers.

And Min Congda's idea is this, according to his experience, if a unit and company want to become bigger and stronger, they must be united internally.

Thinking in one place and working hard in one place can get things done.

Once everyone has their own thoughts and considers their own future and development, then the unit will be a complete calf.

Although he doesn't understand NBA games, everything changes and does not deviate from its roots, everyone in the team has a ball, and everyone is happy, which is just an ideal state, and it is impossible to achieve it!

When the time comes, the people's hearts will scatter and go their own way, and the team will naturally rot.

The plan was perfect, Min Congda ate very happily, the pile in front of him was almost full, and he suddenly found that the pile in the library next door had finished eating the pile in front of him and went to eat.

And I played a lot, and a bunch of them!

"Damn, I'm not tall and eats a lot, I really read it right, it's a rice bucket!"

Min Congda himself is about 175, and he is embarrassed to say that people are not tall and eat a lot.

After lunch and a short rest, the team started the official training session in the afternoon.

Dunleavy began to lead the players in tactical confrontation training, and by the way, to test the quality of the young players.

Especially how many pounds and taels does Stephen Curry have.

Regarding Min Congda's selection of Curry in the draft, Dunleavy certainly felt that it was pure nonsense.

After Brand's departure, the Clippers are lacking a power forward, and Griffin is a once-in-a-decade top interior lineman.

Skipping him and not choosing to take a 191 small guard, he was really kicked in the head by a donkey.

Dunleavy tends to be balanced in his coaching style and team configuration, focusing on the creation of the front court, preferring to hoard the front line, and relying on strong strikers in attack and defense in turn.

In the first round of the 06 playoffs, Anthony of the Nuggets was miserable, shooting 33% from the field in a series of rounds, failing to score a three-pointer in five games, and sliding from 26 points to 21 points in the regular season.

The Clippers didn't take Griffin, much to Dunleavy's disappointment, and this is his favorite strong forward player.

However, Dunleavy has coached many excellent point guards, Magic Johnson, Damon Stoudemire, Sam Cassel, all played at a high level under Dunleavy's coaching.

In Dunleavy's view, Curry and Magic are not comparable, they are not on the same level at all.

Reaching the level of Kassel and Damon Stoudemire has met expectations, and an All-Star is the ceiling.

Curry didn't talk much during the training, following the coaches and assistant coaches' commands to run, catch the ball, confront, shoot, and meticulously implement every command of the coach.

Min Congda couldn't understand what the team was practicing, running around, was it so complicated to play basketball?

Because it is a summer training camp, and the players are all young players and homeless players, the significance of the inspection is greater than the skill practice.

Therefore, it will soon be time to enter the confrontation training session, and the scouts and coaches will examine the players' technical use, tactical literacy and on-the-spot performance in the confrontation state.

First of all, the group confrontation exercise, the inner line belongs to the inner line, and the outer line belongs to the outside line.

Dunleavy deliberately put Curry and Eric Gordon in a group and had the two of them have one-on-one conversations.

Min Congda saw a big round head standing next to Curry and asked Ada, "Who is that, why is the face so round." ”

"It was the team's No. 7 pick in the first round last year, Eric Gordon, who made the All-Rookie Second Team last season. ”

The No. 7 show is still the second team of the best rookie, another terrible potential stock!

He looks taller than Curry, stronger than Curry, rounder Curry, and has a basketball on his head, which is obviously very high.

"Another object to focus on... Such a player should also be careful that his potential is tapped and recorded in a small notebook. ”
