Chapter 31: A New Losing Idea
There are still more than ten seconds left in the game, and the Clippers left the Hornets with a chance to kill, but unfortunately the Hornets did not grasp it, and the last ball Collison made a strong basket and was rejected by Jordan Jr. with a big hat!
"Crazy line, really crazy line, so short and still holding the ball deeply, no vision to pass out, holding the ball early and not moving, who will be capped if you don't take the hat?"
"What the hell did you set up Hornets manager? It's pulled away, but someone has to respond, the space is too open, the appropriate distance is still very important, what's the use of the ball not passing? ”
"Hey, my 200 dollars!"
Min Congda watched the last attack of the Hornets, Collison went deep into the basket and got a big hat, and the other players pulled away from all sides but had no chance to shoot, and could only lament that his first salary in his life was in vain.
At this moment, he felt that the last offensive tactic laid out by the Hornets coach was a dead end, and the space was created but not used well, leaving the ball carrier isolated, which was not a good tactical design.
At the end of the game, the Clippers won the second game of the summer league, Curry scored a double-double of 17 points and 10 assists, and he successfully revitalized the Clippers' offense in the second half.
Jordan Jr. ate the cake again, scored 21 points, shot 7 of 10 from the basket, and half of the ball was fed by Curry.
Gordon played a short game, but he also scored 16 points and was very efficient, defending Collison well in the final moments, leading him into an interior trap that led to his stunner throw being blocked.
Although it was only a summer league victory, it was still exciting for the three youngsters.
Especially Curry, when he was locked in the first half, he adjusted his mentality and changed his thinking, and used a flexible and changeable style of play to break through Collison's defense, so that this guy completely shut up!
He felt that he had lived up to the expectations of Manager Smart, and finally hit the crucial killer shot, but it seemed that Mr. Smart was not particularly happy, and his face was happy and even a little lost.
Curry walked up to Min Congda and asked, "Mr. Smart, is there anything you are not satisfied with about my performance today?" ”
Min Congda thought to himself: "Dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, who let you shoot the last ball, who made you overtake, who let you send so many assists!" ”
All he could say was, "No, I'm happy with your performance, but... Don't play too hard, let go when it's time to let go, be careful of injuries, and save your energy for the regular season. ”
Curry nodded, he knew that Min Congda said this out of concern and love for himself, afraid that he would be hurt, but he was not afraid!
To prove Mr. Smart's choice, he will work harder on the pitch to win every game.
The next game of the Clippers is to play the Grizzlies, and Curry will have a head-to-head conversation with Griffin, and this game is sure to attract attention and become one of the few focuses in the summer league.
In the evening, when he returned to the hotel, after dinner, Min Congda locked himself in his room and lay on the bed to heal his wounded heart.
"200 yuan is gone, why is it so difficult to make some money? I thought it would be an easy task, but damn it, the difficulty has soared, and the gap between the second level and the first level is too big. ”
"It's been half a month, nothing has been gained, and I feel that the Clippers are very strong in this summer league, don't win a single game at that time, won't I just come for nothing?"
"No, it's not for nothing, I went to Las Vegas once, but I lost $150......"
Thinking that he had lost money in gambling, Min Congda was in pain, and he didn't earn a penny and put in 150, who to reason with?
But soon Min Congda regained his strength: "It's just the summer league now, it's only 200 yuan a game, a small amount of money, and losing 2000 yuan in the regular season is the big one." And the regular season and the summer league are different, there are many masters, strong teams are like clouds, and it is not so easy to win! ”
"Also, there is something that can be done on the team's expenses, although you can't invest in things that are not basketball-related, but there are many projects in basketball-related fields that can be developed, such as making a first-class show documentary for Curry...... Hey, yes, make a documentary, it's called Curry's growth road, run around with the whole team, and after filming, I found that the Clippers didn't have good results in Curry, isn't that a proper loss? ”
Min Congda suddenly found a good way to make the Clippers lose money and make a documentary!
Because he remembered reading a piece of news before, which was related to Yao Ming, saying that Yao Ming's first-year documentary was released and turned out to be a loss.
If Yao Ming is such a successful champion, plus the blessing of the Chinese halo, is losing money, what reason does Curry have not to lose money?
He immediately got up and turned on the computer, searched for news about Yao Ming's documentary, and soon saw:
"The film was not promoted, $27,823 "The Year of Yao" failed at the box office in the first week": "The Year of Yao, which cost more than $1 million and was originally planned to be released in more than 10 cities across the United States this week, only $27,823 at the box office after the first week of release in Houston, suffered a fiasco. ”
""Yao next year" only sold two tickets a day, which can only be described as bleak": "...... The film grossed just $33,345 at the U.S. ......'Tickets sold so badly that we only sold two today,' said a waiter at a movie theater......
Even after flipping a few articles, it's all old news that the box office is very bad.
Min Congda remembered that Yao Ming was very popular in school at that time, and he, a person who didn't watch basketball, could hear words such as "Yao Ming", "Rocket", "You are unreasonable" and so on from the mouths of his classmates every day, Yao Ming is a symbol for China, a totem of basketball.
"Even a basketball totem like Yao Ming, the box office of a documentary is dismal like this, wouldn't it be worse if it was replaced by Curry?"
"Yao's investment is $1 million, which is too little, and I want to increase Curry's documentary investment to 10 million! Use up all the liquidity on the team's account, it would be better to be able to owe debts, and the Yankees have many financial financing methods on their side, and the bank will issue a bond without giving money, which will properly drag down the team's finances! ”
Thinking of filming a documentary, a good way to consume money, Min Congda's mood immediately improved.
Compared with the huge amount of capital consumption and losses in financing, borrowing, and investment projects, what is the great deal about losing 200 yuan after winning a game? It's just drizzle.
Anyway, the money for food, drink and housing has been reimbursed on the team's account recently, and I don't have to talk about my girlfriend or pay the mortgage, so let's do it first, or look at the problem from a long-term perspective, and slowly figure it out!
Thinking of this, Min Congda immediately began to write a documentary shooting project plan, and after returning to Los Angeles and after the management discussed and approved, he could start bidding for filming, and he kept throwing money into it!
"Haha, I'm such a genius who devours company finances, and what I've learned in the past is still meaningful...... But what if the documentary goes viral? ”
"Impossible, Yao Ming is not on fire, how can Curry be on fire, take the first fire. He's only winning a few games at most, and the games aren't as enjoyable as Griffin's, so who wants to watch his documentary. Okay, that's it, the name of the documentary is ...... Well, L.A. Rice Bucket..."
