At a time when other team management is doing all sorts of preparations for the draft and free agency.

The Clippers' scouting and uniform crews are much more relaxed, and Min Congda, Sachs, Piomberti and others even have time to go to the Finals at Staples Center to watch the Celtics and Lakers Finals.

Anschutz specially reserved a ticket for Min Congda's VIP box.

In order not to delay his work, Min Congda put the location of this year's Clippers rookie interview here, at the finals game.

He specially invited the rookies who were willing to try out with the Clippers, bought them VIP tickets, and asked them to answer some questions from Min Congda while watching the game.

Min Congda's questions are very simple, such as why he likes to play basketball, why he wants to play with the Clippers, what are his plans and plans for the future, etc.

Just like when a company's HR interviews a new employee, the other party doesn't know what to look at.

Some of this year's high-profile newcomers have signed up for tryouts and interviews with the Clippers, and Min Congda's unique interview style has left a deep impression on these newcomers.

Min Congda did this for a simple reason, he hoped that the finals, the highest stage, would allow these rookies to take off their disguises.

He is sure that when these newcomers come to the Clippers for interviews, they must have been specially trained and rehearsed, and they will definitely package themselves well.

This kind of packaging is an obstacle for the team's selection, and it is also an obstacle for Min Congda's selection.

Other teams are looking for a young man with potential and motivation.

And Min Congda hopes that after these young people take off their disguises, they can let him see the side of the unsuccessful.

Only such a player can really impress Min Congda.

"If I had interviewed Curry earlier, I wouldn't have picked him. That kid has such strong willpower and such a tenacious personality, where can you see it just by looking at his appearance. ”

Curry's growth throughout the season has left a deep impression on Min Congda.

Such a big pressure, such a big call for parallel imports, stubbornly withstood it.

Under Min Congda's "savage growth" stocking policy, he actually grew up.

He successfully escaped Min Congda's heavy expectations and became a qualified NBA player.

This kind of lesson Min Congda must be learned, and he must find a little black man who has no responsibility.

For example, in the first game of the finals, Gordon Hayward from Butler University, who Min Congda interviewed, was not good.

Elite white player, the most outstanding player in the Western Conference, led the team to the NCAA Finals.

Although white players are no longer the mainstream of the league, the emergence of a white star will still attract a lot of traffic.

This kind of self-disciplined and self-motivated person, Min Congda will not choose.

Hayward also said that his idol was Kobe Bryant, and he watched the first game of the Finals with a bright eye and a light in his eyes.

In this game, Kobe Bryant scored 30 points and led the team to a big home victory over the Celtics, making a good start to the Finals journey.

In the second game, Min Congda interviewed the Nigerian player, Aminu from Wake Forest University.

When Min Congda heard that he was an alumnus of Duncan and Paul, he was a little reluctant to choose.

Both of these guys are the last players he wants to meet in the league and the last thing he wants to have.

The style of play is positive, comprehensive, has the temperament of leading the show, and has a strong influence on the team.

Aminu didn't know that she had been discriminated against by her school.

It's too good, I don't want to be a big star.

Of course, his interview was good.

In particular, his trial impressed Piomberti and others.

They agreed that Aminu is the kind of No. 3 player the Clippers need.

Everyone said it so clearly, can Min Congda still want him?

Wouldn't he be clever if he asked for it?

In this game, Ray Allen broke out away, shooting 8 of 11 three-pointers to blow up the Lakers' outside line.

The Celtics pulled one back, and the two teams tied in the finals and headed for Boston.

The 10-year NBA Finals is still a 232 format, and the team with home-court advantage will play two home games first, and then have to go through a long three-game away game.

Auerbach was the first to put forward this suggestion, just to take advantage of the finals with the Lakers, but in the first finals of the 232 format, the Celtics lost to the Lakers, which was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

From June 8th to June 13th, three games in one week.

The Lakers went 1-2 and lost to the Celtics in Game 5, the crucial Battle of Kings.

The team that won Tianwang Mountain in history has a probability of nearly 80% to win the series.

The Bostonians have already begun to celebrate their second win in two years.

And the opponent who defeated the Lakers again, could there be a more wonderful championship than this?

The city of Boston is even starting to prepare for a championship parade.

As a result, the Bostonians clearly underestimated the Lakers' determination to get revenge.

They were careless, and in the crucial sixth game that could have won the championship, they were blown up by the Lakers.

At 89:67, they lost to the Lakers by more than 20 points, a one-sided loss.

The Celtics missed their best chance and the game went into a tie-break in the Lakers' favor.

In this competition, Min Congda interviewed Wesley Johnson from Syracuse University.

Min Congda thinks this player is good and can be selected, on the grounds that the Timberwolves are said to be interested in him.

As a No. 3 position, Min Congda thinks that he is average in talent and will not achieve much.

However, the Timberwolves have the No. 4 pick this year, and if they pick Johnson away, the Clippers will not have a chance.

And the gap between No. 4 and No. 9 is too big for it to be possible to get Johnson through a trade.

The tie-break takes place on June 17, the final race of the NBA2009-2010 season.

On this day, Min Congda watched the game in the VIP box as usual, eating pizza while interviewing another newcomer.

Paul George from Fresno State University, a somewhat skinny black small forward.

Min Congda's so-called interview is actually to chat with these young people and then make a judgment.

"Fresno University, are there any famous NBA players in your school's history?"

"Uh, Ron Anderson, Courtney Alexander, Ralph Alston, and... Rod Higgins. ”

Except for Alstom, Min Congda has heard of it, none of the others have heard of it.

Alston is also just an average point guard, and he's better known on the streets.

It seems to be an ordinary school with no name, and George did not lead the school to a big killing in the NCAA.

averaged 16 points per game, won a second team in the division, and that's it.

Not bad, very mediocre.

"Do you have any hobbies? Except for basketball. ”

Min Congda thinks that it is definitely a good thing for a player to have other hobbies to distract him.

The kind of person who is bent on basketball and takes basketball as his life must not be chosen, and he will definitely become a talent.

George scratched his head, told the truth, and said, "Fishing." ”

Well? Fishing? This hobby is so good!

If you come to the Clippers, you'll have plenty of fishing opportunities every offseason.

Min Congda became interested in this simple young man, and it seems that the agent did not overpackage him.

His eyes have also been on the field, and who doesn't pay attention to the game where the tie-break decides the championship.

"Then why did you want the Clippers to play?" Min Congda asked.

The answer to that question, he thought, would determine whether he would pick him with the ninth pick.

George thought for a moment and said, "Because it's close, I'm from Los Angeles." ”
