The passion in Chris Wallace's chest and the desire to mock Min Congda disappeared with this question.

For a while, he couldn't figure out if Min Congda was joking with this question, or if he really didn't understand?

"No way, it's obviously just a joke, how can anyone be so stupid. This person is not simple, and seeing Griffin's performance like this, he did not waver and regret it, which shows that he has confidence in Stephen Curry. ”

"That's right, in yesterday's game, Curry scored 30 points without finishing the third quarter, and his three-point shot was even more terrifying, shooting 5 of 6, which is really good."

"The day after tomorrow, the two teams will compete against each other, although one game can't say anything, but it is also a litmus test of the potential of two people."

Wallace turned a few corners in his heart, made sure that Min Congda was joking, smiled and said, "You really know how to joke Smart, how can there be an offside position on the basketball court?" ”

Min Congda smiled awkwardly, remembering that the basketball was indeed not offside, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm kidding." Griffin is indeed very powerful, as I expected, it is the material of the champion show. ”

Min Congda thought of his five-minute draft, and just looked at Griffin's photo and judged that this was a beast and could not be selected.

Now, through the data of the last game and the performance in the first quarter, Griffin is indeed very talented and a top talent.

It's really right not to choose him, just that dunk just now, people like Min Congda, who didn't watch basketball in the past, are all enthusiastic about watching it, and fans can't take off after watching it?

When the time comes, everyone will buy tickets to watch the Clippers game, and the team's ticket prices will rise, so won't the revenue and profits go up?

According to last season's earnings report, the Clippers averaged about $700,000 in ticket revenue per game, down 23 percent from the 2008 season.

According to Rosser's calculations, if the team adopts a price reduction and discount sales strategy, the ticket revenue can be maintained at about $600,000.

If the financial crisis slows down and economic conditions improve, there is a possibility that ticket sales will pick up further.

Min Congda didn't want to see this possibility at all, and now it is best to take advantage of the opportunity of the US economic crisis to collapse the Clippers ball market in one go.

Just like the Pistons in the East, because of the bankruptcy of the entire city of Detroit, the ball market is sluggish, and the ticket revenue is close to halving, and the team has reached the brink of life and death.

A rescue star like Griffin must not let him appear on the floor of the Los Angeles home stadium, and he must not let him fly away to attract a large number of fans to watch the game!

And Chris Wallace was a little surprised when he heard Min Congda say, "It's the same as I expected, it's the material of the champion show", thinking that Min Congda knows that Griffin is extremely talented?

Harm, who doesn't know? Children who have just watched basketball on the sidelines for a few days know it.

So why did Min Congda still make the choice to give up Griffin and accidentally pick Curry?

Chris Wallace is full of doubts, and so far no one knows Min Congda's motives.

Some media outlets in Los Angeles wanted to interview Min Congda to understand the situation, but they were all rejected by Min Congda on the grounds of "confidential decision-making".

The decision-making process of this draft is estimated to be revealed many years later when this batch of rookies grow up and make achievements.

Whether it's a joke or a joke depends on the players and the team's performance.

Chris Wallace couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Smart, why did you choose Curry instead of Griffin when you foresaw Griffin's talent?" ”

Min Congda sighed, thinking to himself that I don't know how many people have asked me this, is there anything worth asking this kind of question?

Aren't the facts obvious?

Min Congda said: "The draft is not about strength, but about potential. I recognize Griffin's strength, but I recognize Curry's potential even more. ”

"You're the general manager of the team, how can you not understand such a simple truth? How can you still ask such boring questions like those ignorant media? Does Griffin have to be the right choice? ”

"The truth is often in the hands of a few!"

Min Congda took this opportunity to output a call, and Wallace was speechless and could no longer talk and laugh with him.

For a while, Chris Wallace was a little shaken, could it be that Curry is really an unborn genius? The rest of the NBA is all wrong, only Smart is right?

Thinking of Min Congda's veto of Randolph's deal and leaving this "cancer" player behind, Wallace's heart was even more puzzled.

In the following games, he didn't have the heart to enjoy Griffin's violent dunk and bombing basket performance, but pondered Min Congda's operation and choice.

The Grizzlies, like the Clippers, have been rotten for many years, and the team's management has been actively reforming, from the draft to team building, in order to make a name for themselves in the NBA.

Wallace is different from many NBA team executives with professional player experience or coaching background, he started purely outside the industry and was born as a basketball-related cultural and creative editor.

Therefore, he lacks perceptual understanding and personal experience of the laws of basketball.

To put it bluntly, I have never played ball, never been on the court, and my knowledge of basketball is completely based on observation, analysis, and off-court learning.

And because he is not a player or coach, it is difficult to resonate with the players, and he is criticized for his lack of spirituality and sixth sense in the selection of people.

Like several famous masters in the NBA, Jerry West, Nelson Sr., Larry Bird, etc., are all top players and coaches, and they are basketball geniuses themselves.

A genius looks at a genius, it must have a feeling, and there is no need to analyze it, just look at him playing to see if it is superstar material. (Note: Except Jordan)

Chris Wallace, who has also been working in the NBA for more than two decades, still can't work out that feeling.

This Smart Min is said to have no background in basketball work. Wallace himself is a basketball publisher and has a relationship with the NBA, but this guy is engaged in financial investment?

Why can you become the general manager of the Clippers and make all kinds of meaningful operations?

"This Smart, maybe he is a person with a keen sense of smell and talent on the court, I can feel that he is not the same as me, a talent that I will never have in my life, but he may have."

"Hey, it's sad, but it's always been like this in the NBA, talent is always hard to come by, it's the most precious thing."

In Chris Wallace's mind, Min Congda's image is becoming more and more mysterious and unfathomable.

At this time, Min Congda, who watched the half-court ball, finally figured out a question: "I remember, offside is the rule on the football field, and it has nothing to do with basketball." I'm sorry, it's a shame, it's a shame. ”
