Chapter 242: Sail (Fifth Update)
After the signing ceremony, Min Congda was finally able to take a break.
That night, he took Milicic, Harden, Bledsoe and Davis.
Visit Santa Barbara's new nightclub and let the newlyweds get a taste of the warmth of Los Angeles!
Bonner was definitely reluctant to go, and even if he didn't have to spend a penny, Bonner still chose to go home and watch TV.
Each has its own good, not forced.
The wine-colored wealth quartet has a new member, which makes Min Congda feel very excited.
But after arriving at the night show, Min Congda found that everyone was not having a lot of fun.
Barang Davis has been recovering from injury in the summer and recently said he is back in training.
Last season he felt a kind of crisis and he felt like he could still play.
Although he lost the competition with Curry, it also inspired him to move forward.
Davis, who was already preparing to return to his hometown, was determined to regain his strength.
Even if you can't recover to the peak, at least there must be a seventy or eighty percent, and you can't be pressed too hard by Curry.
Davis thought he would be traded by Min Congda in the summer, but he didn't expect to be retained, and he had to play hard.
Min Congda knew that he wanted to play well, and he would definitely trade him away immediately.
Davis paid the money and drank a little, but was reluctant to fight the woman.
It is better to say that your injury is not healed, and it is better to retain your energy.
Milicic also only drank a little and did nothing else.
He said that his wife was at home with the children, and he could not do anything to be sorry for his wife.
I came tonight just to thank Min Congda for taking care of him.
When he said this, Min Congda naturally couldn't force it.
originally pinned his hopes on Harden, but Harden just drank some wine and danced for a while.
He said that he was going to Las Vegas tomorrow to attend the team's rookie training camp, and it was better not to play too much.
This reason is difficult for Min Congda to refute, he doesn't want to go to this training camp, he played it once last year, and this year is not very attractive.
In addition to Harden, Bledsoe is also going tomorrow, for the same reason, just a little drink.
If everyone doesn't play, Min Congda won't be happy to play alone, and it's boring.
Min Congda thought to himself, what's going on, the atmosphere of this team doesn't feel right?
Last summer, there were still dogs and horses, and the lights were bright, and everyone had no psychological barriers.
I thought the Clippers were rotten, so it didn't matter if they played, anyway, there was a bad team.
Should be drunk, should fight, should be pickled up and pickled, so happy.
Now that we're in the playoffs, everyone is looking forward to next season.
In front of Min Congda, everyone strives to be motivated.
Such a team atmosphere makes Min Congda unhappy, but there is no way to do it for the time being.
He thought to himself, it should be that everyone is not familiar enough with each other to let go.
When you get familiar with it later, you can play it again in the middle of the season, and the effect will definitely be better.
After the show, Min Congda went home to rest for two days, gave himself a vacation, and called Daddario at home to brush up on the forum.
He didn't care about the Clippers for the time being, and the team still had some minor repairs left to the rest of the management.
On the Chinese side, Fan Chen said that the fund has been successfully established, and it is ready to take Shanghai as the center and start radiating from East China.
In the form of youth basketball games, set up winning bonuses to attract young players to participate in training camps.
Team up in the training camp, compete, and win a grand prize of up to 1 million RMB.
The training camp has certain requirements for the age, height, etc. of the young players, and a screening test will be conducted.
Only those who meet the conditions can join the camp, and these criteria are set by NBA-level scouts.
The job must be tedious and unfulfilling, so Min decided to give the scouts a bit more salary.
Raising salaries, spending on sponsorships, using subsidies and renting expenses, consumes nearly $10 million in cash each year.
It's another money-burning machine, and Min Congda is very satisfied with it.
To his dissatisfaction, on July 16, the Clippers' documentary "Basketball & Kee: Sail" (Set Sail) from last season was officially launched on YouTube.
During the boring offseason, with YouTube's referral marketing, the number of hits for "Sail" skyrocketed.
Min Congda pinched his nose and watched it at home, and found that the shooting was really good.
The film starts with the tragic history of the Clippers, and uses old footage with oil painting texture to briefly retrace the Clippers' 40-year bad NBA history.
The camera pans to 2009, on the eve of the draft, two days before the election.
Interviews were conducted with the parties, such as Rosser, Olche, Riccellé and others.
said that at that time, he suddenly received news that the general manager of the team was a Chinese who had never heard of it.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, the suspense suddenly appeared, and everyone was speculating about who this was.
On the day of the draft, the man never showed up, and Ida suddenly received an order to pick someone up at Motel.
In the way of scene reproduction, it restores the whole process of Min Congda rushing from Motel to the Clippers headquarters, entering the door without saying a word, changing the management resolution in overtime, and bent on winning Curry with the top pick.
Because everyone was impressed, the scene restoration was perfect, and everyone's interviews were also mysterious and tortuous.
Min Congda looked at it from the identity of an outsider, and he felt that it was really TM exciting.
At this point, fans have been captivated by the documentary, and Min Congda's arrival is too dramatic.
This is also the first time that the Clippers have exposed the whole process of Curry replacing Griffin as the champion.
In the last shot of this paragraph, Min Congda's interview, confronts the question "Why did you choose Curry?" ”
Min Congda said, "Look at his future performance, and you will have the answer." ”
Min Congda took a look, I'm RNM, you're editing, right? I didn't ask any questions at the time!
Just gave me a script, let me read the words on it, and after reading it, I finished the shooting.
It is indeed edited, in order to save the cost and time of shooting.
If Min Congda knew that there was such a question, he would definitely not answer it so pretendedly.
Then the camera turns, and the protagonist becomes Curry, and Curry's perspective begins to show the Clippers' experience this season.
From not being favored, to winning the first game against the Los Angeles Lakers and contributing key assists, to playing better and better in the back.
The Clippers are also gradually gathering a fighting spirit and making it all the way to the playoffs in the fiercely competitive West.
If it is an ordinary fan, the blood is boiling, and Min Congda is cold when he sees it.
I've worked hard for a season, and they've just misinterpreted my operations and ruined my results?
But after watching it, Min Congda had to admit that the shooting was really good.
Jordan Peel and Michael Kee are two guys with talent.
Do you want to continue the project? Of course we have to do it.
Min Congda doesn't believe it, what tricks can you shoot in the new season.
It's been a season of creativity, and it's time to run out, right?
The second season of "Basketball and Kee", can there still be a good joke?
In the new season, Min Congda is starting to be confident again.
Soon, two pieces of news came that were better for him.
First, on July 24, the Clippers and Bulls completed a trade to send Novak and Maddy Collins to get Kirk Hinrich.
Although the contract amount of the two sides does not match, after the Clippers signed Milicic, Bledsoe, and Bonner, there is still more than 6 million left in the space of 20 million that has not been filled, after all, the starting salaries of the three in the first year of their contracts are relatively low.
So, the Clippers attached a $6 million trade exception to the trade to the Bulls, making up the contract difference.
In this way, two small contracts for a big contract of 9 million, as well as Hinrich's bird rights.
Hinrich's contract expires next year, and Min Congda can give him a long contract at that time.
And Xin Liqi is the balloon star that Min Congda wants, and he couldn't be better.
The second news, on August 18, Curry participated in the American Dream Nine national team and sprained his left ankle in training.
Although the injury is not serious, it is the third time he has sprained his ankle in recent times.
On the one hand, Min Congda is very concerned about Curry's injury, calling him to care about him and chatting with him, so that he can recuperate with peace of mind.
On the other hand, Min Congda had a hunch that Fan Chen's prediction about Curry might come true.
"It's small, it's easy to get hurt."
"It's okay, Curry, don't worry, if you get hurt, I will definitely support you with a big contract!"
Min Congda feels that the future is very good, and the Clippers of the new season are about to set sail again and sink the ship!
