Chapter 53: The World Should Not Be Like This
Press room at the Staples Center after the Clippers and Maccabi game.
Min Congda sat in his seat, looking at the microphone in front of him in a daze, his eyes were empty and confused.
What happened these two days? Min Congda was puzzled, did he offend anyone?
I didn't do anything hurtful, but during this time, I just learned martial arts with some women, and they were all paid, and I didn't give a penny.
And then, to give his precious first kiss to a beautiful girl, isn't that a violation?
Did you anger some jealous god? Then I'll give you the first kiss back, can you let me go?
Looking at what has happened in the last two days, why did you suddenly feel like you were taking a sharp turn for the worse?
First of all, there is obviously no problem with taking a few old oilers of the Clippers to make a sound of dogs and horses and spoil the team's atmosphere.
Immediately after that, this group of goods fought in a nightclub, was arrested by the police, and the media took pictures, which was a big scandal, which hurt the team's reputation and further chaos in the team, which is no problem.
Then he talked nonsense at the press conference, supported the violent behavior of the players, caused public condemnation, and also helped the players pay compensation, which made the team's financial situation worse.
Min Congda himself admired himself, and in a very short period of time, he thought of this poisonous trick of "setting himself on fire", which was perfect.
Who knows, a report issued by the police department beat him from a clown to a fighter, and the team's morale was high.
What went wrong? This TM is the problem of the system, the American society, the American system is wrong!
How did a violent incident finally turn to the issue of race? Why did it go astray? There is no spirit of seeking truth from facts at all, and I have been kidnapped by political correctness!
As for Beckham's coming to the court to watch the game later, Blake Griffin's injury reimbursement, these are all accidents, it is a matter of luck, and it will not fundamentally reverse the decline of the Clippers.
But the institutional problem is the fundamental problem, which has caused the Clippers to be in a bad mood has been greatly affected.
Just after the game, in the locker room, Min Congda felt that the whole team was a bit united.
You say that your black brothers and teammates have beaten people and gone to the police station, what are you proud of being united?
Min Congda couldn't understand this group mentality, he was tired, he felt that the country was hopeless.
At this time, a female reporter in the audience interrupted his philosophical thoughts, "Mr. Smart, Mr. Smart, I want to ask you a question!" ”
Min Congda came back to his senses and turned his head to see that Olsie and Dunleavy were already sitting on either side of him, and the press conference began.
"Where do you have so many questions?" Min Congda was very irritable and said angrily.
"Uh... I'm a reporter, of course I have to ask questions..."The reporter is a little confused, I can't ask questions when I come to the press conference?
"Ask, hurry up, I'll have to eat later."
"What do you think about Blake Griffin's injury reimbursement?"
Griffin was injured during the game and then the team doctor announced that he would need surgery to recover and would miss all games in the new season.
Many of the expert fans who have been criticizing the Clippers for giving up Griffin have turned against each other and believe that the Clippers have taken the lead.
Min made a wise decision that allowed the Clippers to avoid a possible second Oden.
Oden's lesson is close at hand, the 2007 champion rookie season was reimbursed, the 08-09 season was also a small injury, and he did not play the value of the champion at all, and his performance on the court was very mediocre.
Now Griffin is also injured and reimbursed, and fans have praised that the Clippers have dodged a big thunder!
Min Congda listened to the reporter's question, and was angry in his heart, which pot can't be opened, which pot do you mention?
It was easy for me to pick a player out of a group of players I didn't know that I didn't feel like was useful, and I gave up on the guy everyone was going to choose.
As a result, now the new season is about to start, and you told me that he was reimbursed for the person everyone was going to choose at the beginning, and he was injured and didn't play, and there was no one on the field!
I can't accept it!
The world shouldn't be like this, and being a human being shouldn't be like this, Achen.
Min Congda was holding his breath in his heart, and he really wanted to pull out the microphone in front of him and stuff it into the female reporter's mouth.
"Of course I'm very sorry, Griffin is a good player, I deeply regret his injury, I think he will recover and get back on the court as soon as possible, and I'm looking forward to him coming to the Stamp Center and letting the fans in Los Angeles appreciate his dunks."
Min Congda's answer was decent, and this kind of Tai Chi answer certainly would not satisfy the reporter.
Someone immediately asked, "Did you consider the risk of injury to Griffin before the draft?" That's why you didn't choose Griffin? ”
Min Congda was already suppressing his temper, but when he heard this, he slapped the table and said loudly: "A player is injured and reimbursed!" An excellent young man, who is going to have surgery, can't play for a year, his future is uncertain, everyone is worried about him, I hope he can get better! Why don't you choose him! ”
"It's been more than three months since the draft ended, and the results are irrevocable, so why do you keep staring at this kind of question? In a few years, you have to turn the draft out and rearrange it again, and you will play an afterthought, don't you think it's boring? It's boring, it's boring. ”
"One of the things about you reporters in Los Angeles is that you run very fast and you can be there right away if something happens, like yesterday in a bar, but you don't figure out what's going on. Please, improve your knowledge, improve your question-asking skills, and don't always want to make big news! ”
"As a Chinese, I would like to give you a little life experience and advice, you should learn, be more benevolent, be more moral, and don't treat news as a pure traffic tool." That's the end of my interview, what questions do you have for Dunleavy and Mr. Olchea, I'm going for a late-night snack......"
After speaking, Min Congda got up and left the news hall, leaving a group of reporters with bewildered faces.
Everything is obviously going well and smoothly today, why does he lose his temper so much?
Dunleavy couldn't read it, and Olser couldn't read it, but they didn't look at Min Congda in a different way than before.
Orchet thought, "Maybe Mr. Smart's team building and draft thinking is the right one, and everything is going in a good direction, isn't it?" Everyone's work has become easier and they can get more money, which shows that we used to have too much ineffective work. Mr. Smart's reform of the work to reduce the burden and increase the salary may well be correct. And his character...... No, there was no complacency at all because of Griffin's reimbursement. ”
Dunleavy thought: "The Clippers may still be saved, this guy has a good idea of how to build player morale and change the team's reputation." With him leading the way, the Clippers may really be able to get out of the quagmire. I also want to go to a higher stage, after all, I haven't been to that place for a long, long time. ”
Dunleavy has played in the Finals twice, once as a player for the Rockets in the 1981 Finals and once a decade later in 1991 with the Lakers to the Finals, both times he failed to win a championship.
After that, he never went to the highest stage, the place that haunted all the players and coaches.
It's been almost twenty years.
