Chapter 213 Work Arrangements (1st Update)
As time progresses, fewer and fewer teams remain in the NBA playoffs.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are the first in the East, face the Boston Celtics.
The Cavaliers led 2-1 in the first three games without incident, and winning the series was just around the corner.
Stepping past the Celtics, they can fight their way to the East to seek revenge on the Magic.
In the fourth game at TD North Shore Garden, Rondo broke out and scored 29 points to tie the score.
2:2, even as everyone expected, the plot of guarding the home court and snatching Tianwang Mountain has been staged more than once.
However, the fifth crucial game in Cleveland surprised all fans.
The Knights, who have the power of the home court and have a high probability of advancing if they win this game, were swept by the Green Army 88:120.
James was in terrible form, scoring only 14 points, leading to a rout.
After this battle, the Cavaliers' playoff journey was overshadowed.
2:3 behind, the next stop is to go to away Boston, which is definitely more auspicious.
Fans certainly expect James to fight back in the sixth game and make a successful comeback.
But the elbow injury left James unable to turn the tide.
In the sixth game, they were firmly suppressed by the Celtics from the first quarter.
The score never had a chance to overtake.
Antoine Jamison, who was acquired at the trade deadline, was helpless against Kevin Garnett.
Garnett, a player who is not known for his offensive ability, scored 22 points against Jamison.
The arrival of Jamison did not make any difference to the Cavaliers.
At 94:85, the Celtics successfully eliminated the Cavaliers and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the second half of the regular season, the Green Shirts, whose record slipped all the way to 50 wins, bared their fangs in the playoffs.
After the victory over the Cavaliers, the Celtics faced the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals, proving how strong the Green Big Three are.
Last year, I let a Garnett fight with you to tie seven, and you really think that you are awesome and dominate the East End.
The Magic are pretty much a replica of last season's Cleveland Cavaliers.
The first two rounds were smooth, two 4:0, and there was no suspense in the big wins.
It wasn't until the Eastern Conference finals that I realized that I was nothing.
The Magic came up and was beaten 3:0 by the Celtics, and they were directly stunned.
0:3 behind, no team in history can turn the tables and will be eliminated.
The Magic also have home-court advantage, and both home games have not been able to hold on.
The third game went to Boston and collapsed, and even the team's efforts for a whole season collapsed.
Trading Tekoglou for Carter now seems like the wrong decision.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and the efforts of Warcraft to impact the championship were blocked by the Big Three.
In fact, there was an element of luck in their entry into the Finals last season, and Garnett's non-reimbursement was the third consecutive Hukai battle.
In the fourth and fifth games, the Magic won two games in a row, giving fans a little hope.
It's like the Clippers in the first round, but several times in history such struggles have ultimately proved futile.
If you really have the strength to wrestle with your opponent, how can you start with 0:3?
At 96:84, the Celtics easily crushed the Magic with their strong overall strength.
He reached the Finals for the second time in three years, and faced his old rivals Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals.
The Lakers seem to have broken through playoff mode after a thrilling first-round Los Angeles derby.
In the second round, he slaughtered his old rival Jazz 4:0.
The Jazz were also miserable, being killed by the Lakers in the playoffs for the third year in a row.
In the three-round series in three years, he won a total of 3 games against the Lakers, an average of one per year.
The Lakers' opponent in the West is the Suns, who also defeated the Spurs 4-0 in the semifinals.
Finally avenging the one-shot revenge of the previous years, Nash has a third and possibly final spring.
Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are also very satisfied with being able to play the Suns in the West.
After all, 06 and 07 were eliminated by the Suns in the playoffs for two consecutive years.
Those were the two years when Kobe Bryant's personal ability was at its peak, and they were all wasted.
In the first four games, both sides won at home, and in the fifth game, the Kings Lakers relied on Artest's rebound to win the series point.
In the sixth game, Kobe Bryant did not give the Suns and Nash another chance, defeated the Suns with a 37-point performance, and led the Lakers to the Finals for the third consecutive year.
Finally waited for the chance of revenge of dreams.
The NBA has finally waited for the perfect script for the past three years.
Although James still failed to reach the finals, he failed to let people see the 23vs24 traffic war.
But the East and West are going to take revenge, and the yellow-green battle in the finals is undoubtedly very good.
In June, just as the two teams were preparing for a yellow-green showdown, the other teams were already preparing for next season.
The three major jobs of the offseason: 1. Selecting and trying out rookies, 2. Free market fishing, and 3. Planning trades.
Because Olchea was exiled to Asia by Min Congda to organize basketball wilderness sports, the burden of the team's work naturally fell on Min Congda's shoulders.
The work was still very complicated and laborious, and Min Congda was taken aback when he took over the various materials left by Olscher.
A large amount of text and data is recorded by his scouts throughout the season and around the world.
Scouts have to work hard to select a handful of talented players out of the millions of basketball registrations around the world.
Ordinary game after game that no one knows, string after string of boring data, game tape after game tape.
These obscure scouts, like the miners of the Alliance, are constantly searching for places where gold may be buried, digging it out.
Some gold mines are buried very shallowly, such as players like Griffin and Durant, you don't have to dig it, everyone will come and grab it.
As for who can get it, it depends on who is lucky, who has worse results and can get a higher signing.
And there are many remaining players who need to be excavated and cultivated, and there may be a more shining gold mine hidden among them.
For example, Arenas, Ben Wallace, and Kobe Bryant were also missed by many teams.
Of course, in addition to the gold mines, there are also some waste mines that look like glittering gold but actually have no gold content.
The Clippers are a team that does not have a good level of gold mining, but they have a strong ability to get waste mines.
Min Congda looked at the mountain-like information, but he was not very interested in it.
What's the use of making the information so detailed, I don't want to choose a useful newcomer.
And that's just the draft, and the free market negotiations are more complicated because 2010 was a big day for free markets.
James lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and it has been rumored that he will leave the Cleveland Cavaliers, and teams are joining the fray.
In addition to James, there are also Wade, Bosh, Stoudemire and a number of other players who can become the core of the team.
Some far-sighted teams began to lay out 2010 two or three years ago, to compete for the most talented players in 03.
This is a great test for the team's early layout, mid-term operation, and later micro-operation ability.
In order to get the big fish they want, the proven high-quality gold assets, the management has to do more than just play 2k with a few clicks.
There is a lot of work to be done in public relations reception, public opinion publicity, fan mobilization, and team image building, involving intelligence warfare, psychological warfare, economic warfare, and propaganda warfare.
Fans see that a big free market signing is only the final result, and there is a lot of foreshadowing work ahead.
This is also why some teams can always attract big fish to join, while some teams can't get superstars in their lifetime, and they are easy to cultivate one, and they are always taken away when they mature.
It is the result of different management and different work.
Min Congda has been with the Clippers for a season.
So, he first had a meeting to briefly listen to the draft report of Scouting Director Piomberti, and several agents contacted the Clippers to say that his players wanted to try out with the Clippers.
The Clippers are still very attractive to newcomers.
Towards the end of the meeting, in the face of the complicated draft and signing work, Min Congda made reasonable work arrangements and made the following arrangements:
1. From June 1st to June 17th, two weeks will be arranged for rookie trials and interviews.
The trial was organized by Piomberti and the interview was conducted by Min Congda himself.
2. On June 24, the draft was held, represented by Gary Sachs, the director of player personnel, and Min Congda was in Los Angeles to command.
3. On July 1, 2010, the free market negotiations began, and there was a holiday.
