The off-season summer is long and boring, often referred to as the long grass by fans.

The surging tide that opened the doors of the free market in July quickly subsided.

The stars have found a home in the scramble, and most have stayed put.

Some of the average players have found new jobs, some are unemployed, and they are worried about their next job.

A group of newcomers entered the alliance, a group of old ones were eliminated, metabolism, the laws of nature.

In August, the Summer League and World Championships were in full swing, and the new U.S. men's basketball team was on the way to the championship.

For the powerful American Dream Team, participating in the World Championships and the Olympics is actually quite boring.

Because winning the championship is a qualification for the American team, and it is not a great honor.

But once you can't win the championship, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and it will be mentioned over and over again by future fans.

In 2008, the U.S. men's basketball team fielded a luxury lineup, but this time many of the superstars at the World Championships are no longer participating.

Kobe Bryant and James are exhausted in NBA competitions and are not interested in the World Championships.

The Chinese team Yao Ming was affected by injuries, and his career was coming to an end, and he couldn't play NBA games, let alone the national team.

Stars from all over the world, such as Nowitzki and Ginobili, who are familiar to fans, were also unable to participate for various reasons.

2010 is a year of replacement between the old and the new.

The core of Team USA becomes third-year Kevin Durant.

Curry, Rose, Westbrook, Kevin Love and a number of other youngsters were selected for the national team.

For Curry, this could have been a good opportunity to improve his strength.

In the national team, he can play against the young players of the league.

He will also be mentored by the best coaches and trainers in the country.

But on Aug. 18, Curry sprained his ankle during a training session.

While not serious, the back-to-back ankle sprains have Curry and his team worried about habitual sprains.

After a series of examinations, the doctor's recommendation is to have surgery to repair the ankle tendon.

However, if he has surgery, it means that he will not be able to catch up for most of the games in the new season.

Curry decisively rejected the suggestion of surgery, and he didn't want to miss the second season of his career so early.

He's only 21 years old, very young, very good and he's recovering quickly from injury.

After some treatments and daily physiotherapy, Curry threw himself back into national team training and games.

On the other side, the Clippers' young players form a new team to compete in the Las Vegas Summer League.

This time, the core members of the Clippers are Harden, Paul George and Bledsoe.

Theoretically a team with very good talent, they didn't do as well as they could have done in the summer league.

Out of 5 games, they lost 4 because the team didn't have a very reasonable lineup.

Aside from these three outside players, there aren't many players on the inside.

Last season, the summer league had Jordan Jr. poked in it, and this season there is no center at all.

Olser and the rest of the scouts are still in China, so the players are all looking for them.

Because the subsidies and accommodation standards given by the Clippers are the highest, a group of old oilers in the summer league want to play for the Clippers.

The personnel manager of the Clippers is also trouble-free, anyway, the general manager Smart said that the summer league is to train young players.

Those who lost the draft and marginalized people, just give them a chance to play, don't look like they are panning for gold in all day long.

Do you have that level? If you don't have that level, it's better to just lie flat and do nothing, get your salary, and don't go to the dung pit to struggle.

Min Congda's words are actually fine, after so many years, have the Clippers found any treasures in the draft?

I don't even understand my own high-level show, so it's better to save energy to improve myself by learning from other people's masters.

Therefore, Saxophone directly signed some old oils casually, and the names looked familiar.

These people have been in the summer league all year round, they have no potential, their level is okay, and their fighting spirit is average.

They know that if they play well in the summer league, no team will appreciate them.

Their goal is to finish the race smoothly, eat and drink well, take the money and leave after the fight, and go to the next job.

What kind of fighting spirit can a summer league team like this have is to accompany the prince to study and do a good job of supporting Harden, George and Bledsoe.

This kid, Harden has been playing for a season, has little interest in summer league, and comes to Vegas for fun.

George is still very serious about playing, but his strength and performance can only be said to be mediocre in the summer league, averaging 15 points per game.

Anthony Randolph's kind of 40 points at every turn, and 15 points is too little for a game of this level in the summer league.

Bledsoe's contribution is even less, averaging 10 points per game, and the three young men who seem to have potential have not found a way to win.

The 1-4 record is even worse than last year, and the Clippers won all of them last year.

Min Congda did not follow the team to Las Vegas this time, nor did he participate in the team's operation.

Instead, he hid in his apartment near Chinatown and thought about how to invest.

Looking at the 4 losses of 300 yuan on the mobile phone, it was no longer possible to make any waves in Min Congda's heart.

$1,200 is not enough to watch a game in the VIP box at the Stamp Center.

However, the performance of these three young people, Min Congda felt very satisfied.

One is lazy, one mediocre, one is short, what's the use?

By the way, there's also Jeremy Lin, who didn't get much playing time.

The data is not worth mentioning, and if you can't play the data in the summer league, what else can you develop?

Min Congda was also worried that Jeremy Lin's Chinese identity would bring a wave of fans and popularity to the Clippers, and increase the revenue of the Clippers' advertising and marketing.

Now it seems that this worry is superfluous, the NBA still has to be the king of strength, there is no strength to only talk about international, skin color, fans are not stupid.

So, Jeremy Lin can stay with peace of mind and be one of the few yellow skins in the league in Los Angeles.

Min Congda sat in front of the computer and looked at the post-match report of the summer league, as well as the player's data, and thought:

"It seems that there is no problem with the operation of the team this year. The losses suffered on Curry will be recovered this season! ”

"Curry is mainly in a hurry and makes it easy to draw conclusions without careful investigation. This time is different, I have thought it through, and there is absolutely no problem with the person I chose. ”

Min Congda has forgotten that he chose George because people say "because of proximity", and he thinks he has done a lot of meticulous work.

"It's okay for the team, but... What about investment? ”

Min Congda's attention has shifted back to investing in the team.

Looking at the financial report that Rosser sent to him yesterday, Min Congda was really worried.
