Chapter 162: Striving to Create a Good Image (Fifth Update)
Stern was still thinking about talking to Min Congda about the conditions, and the other side had already hung up the phone.
He deliberately increased the amount of the fine to 100,000, just to make Min Congda honest and let him know that it hurts.
It's not a good thing to stop pointing fingers at the referee and get the fans to focus on the referee.
As a result, the $100,000 didn't seem to make Min Congda retreat, and he even happily agreed to the punishment?
Is this person normal? How much does he get paid a month with the Clippers?
Even Maverick boss Mark Cuban, a billionaire, is still distressed every time he is fined.
How is this Smart as if the fine doesn't work for him?
Stern is a headache, and it is the first time that he has been a president for 30 years.
Rodman is not like this, Rodman is a player anyway, this guy is the general manager, so worry-free.
But the Clippers are very good under his leadership, and it is really not something ordinary people can do to pull such a thousand-year-old team out of the quagmire.
Stern was already convinced that Min Congda's thing was not an ordinary product, and it had to be an epic treasure anyway, with a lot of debuffs.
At this time, it was already early in the morning Eastern time, and it was not easy for Stern to not sleep in the middle of the night and make a phone call for the sake of Min Congda, let alone a three-month birthday.
After Min Congda hung up the phone, he saw through the website news that Ricky Davis made a basket to kill the Cavaliers.
But the $2,000 lost by winning the game no longer makes Min Congda feel distressed, and the $100,000 fine has made him lose 50 games!
"It's a pity, I can only play two games with James in a season, otherwise I will spray him back, and it is not a dream to get rich."
"By the way, where did Ada go today, why didn't I see her... Oh yes, what kind of fan activity did she talk to Riccelle? No matter what, what serious fans can the Clippers have, go home and lie down, ready to pay the fine tomorrow! ”
After arriving home, Min Congda habitually opened the dog pounce net and wrote after the game while watching the news.
This battle between the Clippers and the Cavaliers, what he wrote is called a cluster of flowers, ups and downs.
By the way, take a look at the topic on Twitter about "who is the worst team", his tweet has been retweeted by many people.
The external image of the Clippers has been further damaged, and Min Congda feels that the situation is really good!
Siakam Jr. also ended his fantastic trip to Los Angeles and left Los Angeles the next morning for Cameroon.
This journey determined his future destiny, and he was determined to devote himself to basketball and make it his dream to enter the NBA.
He fell in love with the Los Angeles Clippers, fell in love with Curry, and became a big fan of Curry.
However, his biggest regret is not being able to meet Mr. Smart, the general manager of the Clippers, and as he left, he told Riccelle, "I hope that when I enter the NBA, I can be drafted by Mr. Smart." ”
Riccelle gave encouragement to the little guy, thinking, your thin bamboo pole looks really good for our general manager selection criteria.
Watching the plane fly up into the clouds, Riccelle breathed a sigh of relief, he had completed the mission perfectly, and everything was recorded from start to finish.
Then came the publicity, with Jordan Peel saying they would take three to four weeks to complete the production of the short documentary and then publish it online.
Riccelle is very much looking forward to the release of this promotional documentary, and he has already reached out to major sports media in Los Angeles to promote the Clippers' fan work before and after the All-Star break, in line with the heat of the All-Star Game.
Thinking that the film would attract a lot of praise at that time, Riccelle was still very excited.
To complete the documentary, Jordan Peale and the film crew decided to go on a trip to Cameroon for a week-long make-up.
Anyway, the $10 million fund can't be used up, and he can go on a business trip to Cameroon, a foreign country, and his small life is really comfortable.
The team's media campaign is proceeding in an orderly manner, and everyone on and off the Clippers is working to create a good image of the team.
In the past, the Clippers have always been the representative of bad teams in the league, and the team name is ordinary, the team standard is copied from the Lakers, the team uniform is mediocre, and the history is sparse.
By all accounts, it's an unattractive team, with the only advantage being a bit of a metropolis bonus in Los Angeles.
It can be said that except for some non-mainstream fans who always like niche things, or some groups that have a special bond with the Clippers, the Clippers are really difficult to like.
Now the whole team is working in a stable, well-paid working environment, and everyone is doing their part to change all this.
Except for someone.
The day after the Clippers and Cavaliers' exciting game, the league released a penalty decision against Min.
A $100,000 fine, a written apology to referee Scott Foster, and a ten-game ban from attending the Clippers.
Is there a more perfect punishment for Min Congda?
$100,000 is easy to arrive, and it is after tax, and you don't have to pay a penny in tax.
Those NBA stars don't look at the annual salary of tens of millions, and they may have to pay half of the tax.
After getting the salary, there are a lot of expenses, luxury houses and cars, seven aunts and eight aunts come to ask for money, and there are child support for illegitimate children and so on.
Min Congda is a person who doesn't need to buy a house or a car, has no women and children to raise, and feeds the whole family without hunger.
Give $100,000 at a time, and don't be too comfortable in this little day in Los Angeles.
It is equivalent to a first-tier city like BJ, China, where prices are low and there is a lot of entertainment, a man does not have to rent a house to buy a house to repay the loan, he does not have to worry about his children going to school, his parents are sick, he does not want to fall in love and does not want to get married, and he will give you 500,000 yuan at one time.
This TM is not refreshing, first come to an Internet café all night, and then go to the bathing center to take a bath and sleep.
When you wake up, you can eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, and poke whatever you want.
Before feeling physically and mentally bored, at least I can be happy for more than a week.
And the 500,000 yuan is still lying in the bank card, and it hasn't actually been spent.
The role of 500,000 is not to support your luxury consumption and spend a lot of money, but to give people a relaxed state of mind that can be enjoyed with peace of mind for a while.
Originally, the Clippers won, Min Congda was still very irritable, the ninth in the West won the first place in the East, and he felt like he was going to enter the playoffs.
As soon as the $100,000 arrived, what was the ninth in the West and the first in the East, no matter what, drive to Santa Barbara for joy.
Since January 16, Min Congda has spent a very relaxed and happy two weeks, during which he is too lazy to take care of team affairs.
He thinks that there is no problem with his layout, and he still outputs post-game reports steadily, smearing the Clippers with private goods on Twitter, accumulating fans, and leaving everything else to Rosser, Olsher and others.
At the same time, the Clippers started the longest eight-game road streak of the season after the last two home games, a real nightmare schedule.
Min Congda happened to be forbidden to watch the game, staying at home and sleeping lazily every day without running with the team, going to the headquarters during the day to order a mao, and going to a nightclub at night to explore a risk.
But he didn't know that as February approached, a storm was coming.
