Chapter 218: Jeremy Lin (1st Update)
The day after the draft, Min Congda's apartment.
Waking up from his sleep, Min Congda felt a feeling of warmth in his lower body.
He thought in a daze, "Damn, am I wetting the bed?" ”
When his mind cleared up a little more, Min Congda realized that it was Daddario's ghost.
The morning wake-up service of the beauty star made Min Congda feel very useful.
"Slow down... It's early in the morning... I didn't have breakfast! ”
Min Congda didn't eat breakfast and was a little hungry.
And Daddario came directly to a meal of honey sago.
As soon as he opened his eyes, it was such a stimulus, which made Min Congda a little unbearable.
In the United States, the welfare of this working class is indeed a little too good.
The two had breakfast together, and D'Addario said that he was leaving Los Angeles and going back to New York today.
As an actor, filming can't be stopped, and D'Addario is still very concerned about his acting career.
However, according to Min Congda's observation, D'Addario's talent as an actor is actually limited, and she still likes her good looks and perfect figure in many films.
In Hollywood, there are unspoken rules everywhere, and there are a lot of things that female stars want to pay for their positions.
The United States is a country of freedom, the root of all evil, and the mess in the entertainment industry is also unique in the world.
Min Congda has been in Los Angeles for almost a year and has seen a lot of gossip secrets.
He thought to himself, one day NBA-Batman traffic is not enough, and it would be good to send some Hollywood lace.
And because of his family background, Daddario's parents are both upper-class, so he can stay away from these unspoken rules and bad things.
The advantage is that this girl retains a rare purity in the entertainment industry, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult for her career to develop greatly.
After all, many great achievements are forced, and the result of a good family background is to get by, and there is no way to force yourself.
"Curry and George are both well-off, and they can't afford to push themselves to play hard, so they shouldn't have any particularly high achievements? It's not right.,Isn't the old family pretty good.,Aren't you playing as hard as a neurotic? Forget it, choose everything, and believe in your own vision. ”
For yesterday's draft, Min Congda was still satisfied.
Although Curry failed last year, Min Congda, who is good at self-comfort, feels that he can accept it.
Curry just needs to be a normal star, and the Clippers are struggling on the brink of the playoffs every year.
This has an advantage, firstly, the team's market value will not soar too high, and secondly, the lineup is good, and the contract can be smashed down.
There are too many big contracts, and the salary space of the team is propped up, and the luxury tax can be paid in the future.
The luxury tax is a big expense, and Min Congda has always been on his mind.
Because it makes sense to throw money at it, otherwise you give Ruffin a contract with a maximum salary, not to mention that the system does not agree, the alliance will intervene in the investigation.
At noon, Min Congda delivered Dario to the airport to watch her get on the plane and leave Los Angeles.
felt reluctant in his heart, and the relationship between the two gradually deepened, this girl is indeed beautiful, sweet and rich.
I feel free again, and I return to the single days when the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.
"Do you want Yobaram to go on an adventure in the evening? Hey, forget it, let's go to the headquarters, there's still a lot of work to do. ”
Min Congda thought that he would be able to sing every night after being free, but he felt bored and bored in his heart.
After thinking about it, I decided to go to the headquarters in the afternoon, and in the morning Piomberti sent a message saying that there were draft and trade matters to be dealt with.
At the general manager's office, Piomberti gave a report on yesterday's draft.
The Clippers selected Damai James from the University of Texas with the 19th pick.
"We were going to pick Bledsoe from Kentucky, but the Thunder took Bledsoe with the 18th pick, and we had to take James," Piomberti said. ”
Min Congda thought to himself, without LeBron James, you can get a Damai James to fool me, right?
Min Congda took a look at Damai James's profile, a small forward of 203, which meets Min Congda's draft standards, which is very good.
Piomberti added: "This morning the Thunder called and said they wanted to trade with us with Bledsoe. ”
Min Congda asked, "What is the price they are asking for?" ”
"Their asking price is a 2012 first-round pick," Piomberti said. ”
In 2012, the Thunder thought about 2012.
Min Congda thought about it for a while, in 2012, the Clippers should also go bankrupt, right?
It's useless to keep this draft pick, trade to get Bledsoe, and fill the team's salary space.
And on the guard line, the Clippers do need a backup small guard to take some time away from Curry.
Curry, the kid is playing longer and longer, playing better and better, and it's time to find someone to mix it up with him.
Just in case, Min Congda took a look at Bledsoe's profile.
With a height of 185 and an arm span of 198, he has excellent physical fitness, strong breakthrough ability, and strong three-point ability.
And he graduated from the prestigious Kentucky school, and this year's University of Kentucky was a bumper harvest, with all five starters selected in the first round.
Bledsoe's performance in high school, college, and the NCAA was very impressive, which made Min Congda a little hesitant.
This kid feels very strong, and it's not a good thing to choose him for the team.
So, Min Congda said to Piomberti: "We already have three defenders who can play as starters, there is no need for another one. And the 2012 draft pick, I still want to keep it. ”
Piomberti nodded, and continued, "Then we'll reject the Thunder's trade request." Then with the 51st pick, we took Jeremy Lin from Harvard. ”
"Harvard, damn it, Harvard has people playing basketball and getting into the NBA...... Hey, no, Jeremy Lin? Who is this? Is he a Chinese player? ”
Min Congda saw Jeremy Lin's information and found that it turned out to be a Chinese face!
What is the situation, and why did Piomberti choose a Chinese player?
Piomberti explained: "It's not Chinese, it's Chinese-American. The reason why we chose him was because the two players we booked to win were picked up in front, so we had to use the No. 3 alternative and take Jeremy Lin. ”
Min Congda repeatedly looked at this information called Jeremy Lin, searching for memories in his mind before he traveled over, and he really couldn't remember that there was such a number one person in the NBA.
It shouldn't be a particularly great star, otherwise it wouldn't have been selected in the second round of more than 50.
"Why did you choose him?"
"Because of you, Mr. Smart."
"Because of me?"
"Aren't you going to start a talent development program for Asian basketball and explore the Chinese market, I think getting Jeremy Lin will be beneficial to your plan."
Min Congda thought to himself, "Okay, you Piombertie, you're quite good at thinking about me."
Keeping up with the team's new policies and working around the leader's development policy, Ling is really a good subordinate.
Min Congda thought about it, since he is Chinese-American, he actually has nothing to do with Chinese.
And his ancestral home is not on the mainland, but Wanwan, so his influence is even less.
Keep it, keep it, there is a yellow face in the team, and it can be regarded as Min Congda's favoritism.
Look at the Indians, when they get to a company as executives, they immediately let Indians occupy various positions.
The Chinese, we still have to unite.
After the two drafts are confirmed, the signing ceremony will be held tomorrow.
But an hour later, Thunder general manager Presti called Min Congda.
"Hey Smart, are you really not interested in Bledsoe? We can talk about that. ”
