On July 19th, the Clippers' seven-day summer league ended, and the Clippers achieved an excellent record of 5 wins and 0 losses in five games in seven days!

The best record among the 22 teams in training camp, tied with the Houston Rockets, the dynasty team of the Summer League, and the best record of the Clippers in recent years in the Summer League.

But at the same time as the best record, it was also the time for the team to disband, and it was time for this improvised team to say goodbye to each other.

Except for Curry, Gordon, and Jordan Jr., no one else has entered the eyes of the Clippers' scouting team, and the contract is terminated at the end of the training camp, and everyone can go from Las Vegas to any city in the United States with the return ticket given by the Clippers.

Some go home to recuperate, some go to another team in search of a new job, and some fly overseas to play to make ends meet.

On the night of the 19th, the Clippers players and staff had a casual meal together at the luxurious restaurant of Caesars Palace, the money was of course paid by the Clippers, and everyone ate and drank with their bellies open.

The young man didn't feel sad about parting, Curry averaged 22 points per game in five games, dished out eight assists and made two steals, leaving those who thought he was a parallel commodity to shut their mouths for a while;

Medley, who was very successful in defending Griffin in the second half of Game 3 against the Grizzlies, allowed Griffin to score just three points, and he has been spotted by scouts from a Spanish club and will fly to Spain tomorrow for a tryout.

The unnamed drafters on the team rarely get a chance to play, but in other countries, in lower leagues or grassroots basketball teams, they are the gods who are needed.

They all have bright prospects and futures.

Min Congda did not attend the party, but hid in his room alone and sighed, deeply worried about his future.

"Five games, no loss, $1,000 loss pay and not a single point, what did I do? I heard that the team won one game in the summer league last year? How come I can win five games! ”

"Could it be that I treat everyone too well? It doesn't make sense, the better the treatment, the more you lose your fighting spirit. But this trip to Las Vegas cost a lot of money. ”

"$150,000 is not bad, and we'll see how much money can be spent on the filming of the documentary. Rosser would have objected, and I had to convince him. ”

Min Congda has asked Ida to send the electronic version of the documentary's proposal to Rosser and other executives, and when he returns to Los Angeles, he will submit it to the management for discussion, which will definitely be a fierce exchange.

On July 20, Min Congda and Clippers management returned to Los Angeles, and Curry and his parents returned to their hometown of Charlotte for a period of rest.

When parting, Curry's father, Dale Curry, expressed his deep gratitude to Min Congda, "I sincerely thank you for your attention and protection of my son, you are always welcome to visit our family, and Stephen will definitely surprise you in the new season!" ”

Dele Curry also gave a jersey from his Hornets period to Min Congda as a souvenir, Min Congda accepted it with tears, thinking that your son should surprise me a little less, he scared me more, I was worried about whether my rotten task was going to be completed.

After a summer league game, Curry's reputation has improved a lot, and some fans have begun to think that Curry is worthy of the 2009 No. 1 pick.

Of course, more expert fans are still not optimistic about Curry, because the intensity of the summer league game is too far from the official game, and some players who play well in the summer league are difficult to get the opportunity to play in the official game.

There is no reference point in killing the Quartet in such a game, and Min Congda is much more relieved to see such an evaluation.

After a day off, on July 21, Min Congda came to the headquarters and held a senior management meeting to discuss the shooting of a documentary for the whole team.

Before the meeting, the executives had already received this documentary filming proposal, and they discussed it privately and came to the same conclusion: pure nonsense!

A team like the Clippers, which has no historical background, has a weak fan base, and was the bottom of the league last season, wants to make a documentary after winning a first-round show? The Clippers executives themselves know they don't deserve it.

The teams that made documentaries in history will integrate some daily shooting resources and game footage after winning the championship, plus post-event interviews to make documentaries, and the cost of these documentaries will not be too high, just used for commemoration and popular science, broadcast on TV stations, don't even think about making money.

In the entire history of the NBA, there is only one person who has super high commercial value and can make money making movies, and that is Michael Jordan.

His "Slam Dunk" grossed $230 million worldwide and was one of the top 10 grossing films of 1996.

Min Congda's documentary project report is simply whimsical, not to mention anything else, the investment of 10 million is too expensive for a documentary, how do you want to spend this money? Hire big-name actors or do computer special effects? Do you want to make an avatar?

The only way for the team to make money by making documentaries is to cooperate with the TV station and let the TV station buy out the copyright.

But it won't make too much money, and it's more about contributing to the team's cultural promotion and attracting and cultivating more fans.

Teams like the Lakers and Celtics can shoot documentaries like this, and the audience is happy to watch them because of their ancestors, their fans, and their current results are good.

Who wants to watch a documentary made by a thousand-year-old bad team? And also to play Curry as the protagonist, although Curry played well in the summer league, this performance is not eye-catching at all, the summer league is a fart, not even as good as the preseason.

Therefore, many executives agreed that this project is unreliable, and once it is invested, the team will definitely lose money.

However, at the project approval meeting, the opinions of the executives were completely opposite, and everyone unanimously agreed to Min Congda's documentary project without raising any objections.

Min Congda expressed surprise and asked, "Don't you have any comments and suggestions?" Rosser, this project is going to drain our liquidity. ”

Rosser shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know, but since Mr. Smart made the decision, what else can we do?" Of course, we have to do it resolutely, after all, Mr. Sterling has handed over all the management of the team to you, and it is useless for us to object. ”

Min Congda nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the carrot and stick management strategy during this period of time has worked, he is now in charge of the Clippers, how to build and how to build, the only thing that can limit him is the system!

After returning, the system immediately paid him a $2,000 fine, for which he also made the news, which was a leak and let the public know more about the new general manager of the Clippers.

Seeing that there were more than $2,000 in the account, Min Congda wanted to create more trouble to seduce the alliance to fine, and the system gave a timely warning: [The fine must be reasonable, if you take the initiative to spread rumors and cause trouble, the system will not pay the fine for you], which is the end of Min Congda's delusion of wanting to make a fortune by touching porcelain.

"Very good, the project was unanimously approved, and the specific implementation of this project will be handed over to Rob Riccelle to deal with, and when the time comes, a bidding meeting will be held first, the director and script will be determined, and then the TV station will discuss cooperation."

Rob Riccelle, the team's head of media, took over the task and felt a huge headache, he was overweight and sweaty, and asked Min Congda: "Mr. Smart, I think... I think it's going to be hard for me to do this project well, and I'm likely to lose money..."

Loss? That's right! What you want is to lose money, and it is best to lose money.

"Radish, don't be stressed, it's only ten million. In the future, this documentary will become a commemoration of the Clippers' journey to the giants, which is of great significance! ”

"At that time, there will be many NBA fans who will fall in love with the Los Angeles Clippers because they have watched this documentary, become Clippers fans, and buy tickets to watch the game at Stamps, what is this 10 million?"

"Don't save money for the team, be sure to choose the best director, the best script, the best shooting team, and shoot the style of the Los Angeles Clippers!"

"By the way, when the time comes, pick some candidates and send me their lists, I still have to review them."

In order to prevent Riccelle from finding any famous directors (especially the kind of fan directors who don't need money to shoot for free), Min Congda still has to review the selection of people in the last level.

After arranging this most important work, Min Congda announced the dismissal of the meeting, and then decided to go out for lunch, with 2,000 US dollars, he finally didn't have to go to the training center to eat, give himself a small vacation, and wait for the new season to start!
